rivals stood by smiling. They are
known as the Countess de Launay and

derstand therefore that the Princess
will welcome as a real deliverer a
Prince who enables her to leave her

trat she would sooner suffer virtual

however that she mas fallen genuinely
in love with Prince Victor and looks
forward to her marriage to bring her
the happiness of which thus far she
has had such scanty measure.
The opposition of King Leopold may
present some obstacles to the marriage,
but love laughs at locksmiths'' and
perhaps at kings. In any case the ex-
Empress Eugene has given her con-

fortune to Prince Victor, he will not

1t is matter of common knowledge

Queen Victoria, the present Queen is
most conservative in matters of court
etiquette, and it usually takes a con-
siderable time for stranger to get on
speaking terms with her. All the for
malities and ceremonies of court have
to be strictly observed. and even hun
dreds of women who have been "pre-

afterward of enjoying her Maiesty's
personal friendship. They come and go

incident in their social lives.
When Mrs. Mackay took house and
became a part Of the American colony
in Mayfair last season few of her
friends imagined that she was so soon
destined to become a pet of royalty.

presented him with substantial sum
that he may live in comparative COM
fort in his old age. The little known
story Of this venerable historians ca

pacity of genius to triumph over
seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
He was born in 1888 in a humble
thatched cottage of a bleak hillside
peasant farm in Banffshire. His faith
er had fought as a common soldier
under Wellington throughout the
Peninsular campaign and had retired
on a pension. Even with this aid, so
scanty were the family means that at
10 years of age the boy, who was des-
tined to become the foremost author
ity on Scotch history, was set to work
on the farm. At this occupation he
continued until he was II, reading
whatever books he could get hold of

the Belgians.
HEAD OF BONAPARTES.
Prince Victor is AZ years old and it
is high time. his friends and political
supporters think, that he settle down
to a legitimate family life, which
would insure some prospect of leav-
his position as head of the Bonapart-
lists from his grandfather, Jerome, the
younger brother of the great Napo-
leon. His father was that Prince Ma
poleon who was derisively nicknamed
"Plon-Plon" in the second empire.
OF plebeian strain on the paternal
side-for, as everybody knows, the
founder of the house, who made and
unmade kings at will, was the son Of
a Corsican lawyer through his
mother, Princess Clothilde of Savoy.
daughter Of the brave old King Victor
Emanuel of Italy. he is allied to the
bluest blood of Europe. He was 10
years old when the French empire
fell.
BY the 'Senatus Consultum" Of 1870
the succession to the imperial throne Of
France was vested in the descendants
of King Jerome. Accordingly when the
ex-Empress Eugenie's son, the gallant
Prince Imperial. was slain by Zulus in
South Africa in 1879 the chieftainship
of the Bonaparte family and of the i'm
perialist party was assumed by "Plon-

DISINHERITED BY FATHER.
A bitter family feud now took place.
Eugene and the whole papal section OF
the Bonapartists rejected 'Plon-Plon's"
pretensions and opposed to him his eld-
est son, Victor, who had been desig-
mated as chief of the family and party
in the young Prince Imperiaps will.
And when on obtaining his majority
Victor claimed the leadership in direct
opposition to his father he was fol-
lowed by the bulk OF the party. At his
death "Plon-Plon' disinherited him.

publican party, which would see in the
marriage source of strength to the
Bonapartists. Not to be able to es-
cape constantly to Paris would be a
matter of great annoyance to the Bel
gian monarch, who. when there, lays
aside all that chilling, distant manner
which CRATES so much on the suscep-
tibilities of the democratic Belgians.
Besides, the King is interested in many
business ventures, which would suffer
if he lost the friendship of the French
Government.

into contact with people she considers
undesirable.
OBJECTS TO HIS GUESTS.
A story is told which explains why
the Princess, who has lived for years
very retired life, did not leave Lac
ken throughout the whole of the past
warm summer season. BY the Kings
orders she was compelled to relinquish
her usual visit to Ostend as pun
ishment for a little "contretemps'
which occurred one fine morning in
the spring when the Princess was TAX
ing a stroll in the park at Laeken.
She saw there, to her surprise, two
women, who appeared to be as much
at home there as herself. One was
young and very beautiful girl, the
other, evidently the mother, though
older, was equally handsome. The
Princess, with that gracious manner
which is renowned throughout Eu-
rope, went to them, and, thinking they
were unintentional intruders, said: "I
beg your pardon. mesdames, but per-
haps you do not know this is private
ground
The women looked her squarely in

1t was not until he removed to Aber-
deem. when 81 years old, that he found
sources of learning open to him COM
mensurate with his requirements. and
with indomitable pluck and persever-
ance he set to work to make the most
of them. He solved the problem of pro-
viding himself with the means of live
lihood by joining the city police force,
and for five years helped to preserve
order in the ancient city. assiduously
haunting the libraries while off duty.
WRITES AT HIS STORE.
Though much interested in the devel-
opment OF law, the practical enforce
ment of it was not much to his taste,
and in 1869 he opened small station
cry and book shop in Gallowgate, one
of the poorest thoroughfares Of the
city In 1882 he removed to Broad
street, under the shadow Of Marischal
College and next to the house where
Byron once lived, and 1t was here, dur
ing the intervals Of business and amid
all the noise and hustle of the street
traffic, that he wrote the greater part
of his monumental work. He was usu-
ally astir at o'clock in the morning,
for he preferred the morning sunlight to
the midnight oil. and in the early hours
customers were few. This allowed him
time to devote to his work free from
interruption. He was usually able to
complete eight or nine pages day.
The idea of the work had entered his
mind long before he settled down at
Aberdeen. In the preface to one of his
volumes he says:
II worked for some time before I be-
came fully aware of the original sources
of information, while, for long after 1
had become aware of the most valuable
and original materials of history re-
lating to my subject, / had often ex-
treme difficulty in finding access to
them for the purpose of my researches.
The libraries of mutual Improvement
societies and mechanics institutions
were utterly insufficient But it was
then chiefly thatI prepared myself by
course of philosophic study, embrace
ing metaphysics. psychology, logic, eth
les and politics, carefully reading hun
dreds of works on these matters both
ancient and modern. But ii was only

suiting the library of the University OF

DESPITE KING LEOPOLD, PRINCE VICTOR NAPOLEON
INTENDS TO MARRY MONARCHS YOUNGEST DAUGHTER
Frenchman's Morganatic. Wife Not
Considered Obstacle to Match.

BRUSSELS. Ian. 2S.-There was a
rumor last year that Princess Glenn
entine. the youngest daughter of King
Leopold Of the Belgians, had become
engaged, in spite Of her fathers
wishes, to Prince Victor Napoleon,
who. as head of the Bonaparte family,
would be Emperor of France to-
day If the Napoleons had managed to
remain on the throne. That rumor
was promptly and vigorously denied
before the public fairly had a chance
to consider the significance and inter-
est of such an alliance.
Whatever may have been the case
when the rumor was first denied, it
to look as If the efforts of King Leo
pold to prevent the match would be
futile.
Prince Victor has just been making
a tour of the various courts of Eu-
rope, with many Of which he is cons
nected. to obtain family opinion on
the matter, and everywhere, it is re-
ported, the proposed alliance has
been received with favor. 1t is recog-
nized that the Prince ought to marry
and no better wife could he find, In
the restricted circle of royalty, than
the stately, graceful Princess Clemen-
tine.
KING FEARS THE MATCH.
In every respect she is considered
worthy to mate with representative
of the Napoleonic dynasty and to be,
perhaps, the mother of one who may
sit upon the throne of France, even
if the Prince himself should never at
tain what the French imperialists con-
slider his rightful position.
One reason King Leopold is so
strongly opposed to the match is that
he fears the enmity of the French re-

A WARNING TO MOTHERS.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot wealth
er of the summer months to guard
against bowel trouble. AS a rule it
is only necessary to give the child a
dose of castor oil to correct any dis
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute, but give the old-fashioned
castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has tend
ency to grippe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then dose of castor oil, and the dis
ease may be checked In it's incipiency
and and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept for in
etant use as soon as the first indica-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases of
cholera infantum. For sale by all
druggists.
