Lady Esther Campbell. ,He spent much of his life as a common sailor on merchant ves sels, one of which was wrecked 10 years ago when he lost his life. ; Campbell, who was born in 1871 and died In 1900 had an extraordinary career. At the age of 8 he was taken to Italy by his mother, i who afterwards became un sound In net mind. In 1883 tha court of chancery sent a representative 'i to Italy, who discovered young Sir Claude working in a slaughter house. He was brought back to England. When only 18 years old he went to the United States and hecnine mw toy on a western ranch, but after a few years of it ha returned to this country from - which he went to Africa and shipped as a sailor. The Sutherland shire, one of the vessels on which he sailed., was wrecked off the coast of Sumatra. 'Sir Claude, with two ap prentices, volunteered to swim ashore for help. In this gallant attempt he and one of tha boys lot their lives.

The German Raiser has, I understand, accepted the Invitation of the czar, to vl?lt St Petersburg next spring. If the kalspr should visit the Russian capital he will be magnificently received.

ALL F.iOTHEEJS ucrman Huicr Decreesv That' Shall Absent No Mother Herself From Her Children More Than Five Months. By Malcolm Clarke Publishers' Prets Leased Wirt.j Berlin, Dec S. The kaiser has laid down a now rule Of conduct and it la this: That no mother, especially a mem ber of the royal family, has a right to absent herself from her children for five months. The crown prince desired to tffke bis .wife with him oh his trip to the east, but his father vetoed his plan on the ground stated. It would not be possible to take the children. ' ' ., It Is said that during the coming year the -king and queen of England ; will Visit this" city. It Is understood that their, majesties received an invitation from the kaiser several weeks ago, and that' a, favorable reply has been re ceived. This visit will follow the coro nation and will probably extend over a weeic some time , in October Is re garded, as most probaele, but this is a detail that yet remains to be settled. Under ; ordinary circumstances, the kaiser would have paid them a visit bet- fore the end of the present year, but be was reluctant to intrude upon the Eng lish court mourning, so that his origi nal intention was abandoned. : There is considerable - friendship between King George and his Imperial cousin, and tbe two exchange letters at regular inter vals. Since it would be contrary to court etiquette for the kaiser to attend King George's coronation in person, be will be represented bn the crowns prince, who will be accompanied by tbe crown princess, apartments - m Buckingham palace being provided for their accom modation, : Tbe Kaiser's Mart . Tha kaiser's dally mall numbers sev eral hundred letters. Quite a percentage come from boys whq write to him on all sorts of subjects. And strange as it may appear he , answers many, es pecially those of a serious nature. Soma time ago, a young Swiss lady wrote to all the European sovereigns asking for their autographs for her col lection.. Later on, she v wrote to the kaiser telling him, with many thanks. that he was the onlymmonarch who had acceded to her wish. . When kings write personally to other sovereigns a great deal of etiquette is observed. Some Idea df the difficulties attending royal cor respondence may be gathered from the fact that the French government ap pointed a commission to settle the cere monial which should be observed by the head of tha state, and one of the points discussed was what form the president should. use in addressing . foreign mon- archs when writing to; them. In writing to a president kings use various terms,. Thus the czar addresses the French president as "dear and hon ored friend," and in replying the presi dent usually employs the, term "Sire." : - Grand Duchess on Toruv The Grand Duchess Sergius of Rus sia has arrived at Darmstadt from Mos cow, and during her stay here she will visit the emperor and empress of Rus sia at;Schloss Feldberg, and Princess Louise of Battenberg at the chauteau of Helllgenberg.
