ie subject of much Cablncl dlscussion.he Queen was anxious that Albert Ed-¦ard should be tralned as an Engllshtlzen. but she knew that the demandsf hls posltion were such that ho muste master of many languages andersed ln many sciences. Durlng hisilldhood the Quec-n lald aslde most ofer royal dutles or confidcd them to

10 people over whom she ruled, shewed a greater duty to her famlly, andaa mother before she was Queen.Four of the ablest teachers of Etig-md were selected to be the youngrlnce's tutors, and wlth these he spent-om four to six hours the day.

On Orlcnlnl Tour.In 1861 the princ. vrent on an -__.

tended Orlcntal tour, accompanicd hyDean Stanley. of Westmlnster. Hevislted the Holy Land and Egypt andwas InltlaUd Into the world of Orl¬cntal llterature, but he was not glvenany detalled nc .ualntanco at the timewith the government of India, and was

not called upon to learn n«w lossonsin rul.rshlp

Ir waa not until February, 1S63.when the prlnce was twenty-two. thathe was formally heralded as helr ap-parent to the throno and took hls seat,as Prince of Wales. ln the House ofIvords. Wlth thls formal Introductionto the affalrs of government, came lnthe same year hls marrlage to PrincessAlexandra Caroline Mary CharlotteLoulsa Julla, daughter of Klng Chris¬tlan IX- of D.nmark. The marrlagewas a memorable one, and was cele-brated wlth all the pomp of a medle-val court.The resultlng unlon was a happy one,

blessed wlth six chlldren, of whom theojdest, Prlnce Albert Vlrtor ChristlanEdward, Duke of Connaught. was dulydeclared helr apparent after the prliuhlmself. Followlng the early death ofthis chlld. the present Prlnce of Wales,George Frederlck, was declared nextln order of succession.The next ten years were uneventful

ln the life of the prince. His mother'smlnisters held a flrm grasp on theaffairs of state and seemed rather In-clined to resent any attempts on thepart of the Queen to introduce tbeprlnce into publlc affalrs. As a result.Prlnce Albert Edward became more ofa poclnl Hon than a polltlcal leader,and was more famous for hls socialcnr.quests than for hls polltlcal sagac-Ity. That he was lmmensely popular,however, was shown hy the demonstra-tion whlch follo-wed hls recovery froma severe illness in 1S72. ln that yearhe contracted typhold fever in a verysevere form, and for weeks his life wasdr-spalred of. Skllful physicians flnallyrestored hlm to health, and when atlength the published bulletlns an¬

nounced that he was out of danger allthe emplre rejoleed. Holldays were de-clared ln many of the colonies a.ndcelebratlons were hcld all over Eng-

I land.Grand Mantcr of Freeuinsons.

Two years later, wlth unusual cer-

emony, the prince was installed as

grand master of the Freemasons, a po-sitlon whlch he held wlth dignlty. Inthls capaclty he made many friends byhls democratlc conduct, and It was

generally sald that the prlnce waa themost popular Freemason in the world.

"With the exoeption of a trlp to Indlaln 1876-'76, the prlnce was not greatlyln the publlc eye except through hlssocial explolts. His dutles were sim¬ple but most exactlng. He was re-

rjulred to appear as England's repre-sentatlve at all great gatherlngs, andas such was oxpected to show the dig¬nlty of hls royal blood as well as thecharacter of hls people. In this way hevislted every European court, was re¬ceived with great honors, and was gen¬erally regrarded as the most pollshed,tho most diplomatlc. and the most pop¬ular future ruler of England.Tho prlnce -was a great lover of

sports, and ls perhaps best remembcredln thls country a_= the owner of a

splendid stablo -whlch won many pri_esln the great races of England. In ad¬dition ho was a friend of the theatres,a llberal patron of tho arts, and was

reckoned among the most publlc spir-lted men of England.The prlnce durlng all this time waa

careful not to appear too conspicu-ously in politics. Hls mother, theQueen, was a known Conservatlve,whlle the princo was suspected of be¬ing a Iilheral at beart. Had ho asso-

clated very freely wlth tho men whoopposed the politics whlch the Queengenerally advocated ho. would haveembarrasscd the government and wouldperhaps have hindered the reforms otthe Cablnet. As lt was he took goodcare to mlnglo freely wlth men of allpolltlcal nfflliations, and would dlsousspubllc affalrs as well wlth Mr. Glad-stone as wlth the most aiistera of theQuoon's old advisors. Whon tho Con-aervativo' mlnistry fell Into dlsreputodurlng tho late years of tho Queen'slife tho prlnce's frlondshlp for Mr.Gladstono dld much to reasstire thapubllc mlnd and to calm the threatenedpolltlcal uprlslngs of the Llberals.

hls mother died on January 22. 1001.At onco thore waa a markod change lnhls manner of Ufe. Ho was stlllfriendly wlth hls former pollticai ao-

Remarkable ChristmasPresent.

Among the curous Christmas presentsof this year will bc onc for a man of na¬

tional rcputation, which has been all yearin the making.Way last January the present waa

decided upon, and a friend of the promi-nent gentlcman requestcd the BurrellePrcss Clipping Bureau, of New York,to watch cvery paper in America, andto take up cvery item which appcaredconcerning the man.The clipping bureau peoplc followed

instructions, and now present the historyof one year in the life of this especial man.The history ends just after election,

and the 20,642 newspaper itcms foundincludc evcrvthing fr.im a three-line cdi-torial mention to full-pagc illustratedstories. These have been mountcd on

3.200 great shects of Irish linen paperand bound into three massiye volumcs.

At the head of each item is the nama

and date of paper clipped from, this in¬formation having been put in with a

book typewritcr. The words tlius iu-serted amount to 1S3.S52.

In actual time. a very strict record ofwhich has been kept, the work has re¬

quired sixty-four working days through-out the year, and has kept in employmentduring that time thirty people as readers,clippcrs, sortcrs, mounters and binder..Every newspaper of importance is repre-_ented.

This is merely a specimen of some oithe uniquc orders which get into the Bur«relle Bureau, for the extent to whichclippings are used by individuals and bybusiness concerns secms to be rcmarkabla.

There are many people in private as

well as in publtc life who need press clip¬pings and don't know it. It might bewell for them to look up this man Bur¬relle, who is said to be so well knownthat a letter simply addresscd "Burrelle,New York," will reach him with no delay.
