The Paris correspondent of the Neves Wiener Tageblatt rqlates a curious episode in the life pf King Edward when Prince of Wales, which, but for a providential circumstance, would have resulted in his death. The Prince had engaged a box for the evening at the Odeon Theatre, and ordered dinner for himself and a friend at the Restaurant Foyot, which is situated at the back of the theatre. Two hours before the play the Prince received a visit from the Prince de Poix, who was so full of praise of a play which was to be represented, that evening at the Opera that the Prinpe pf Wales rpnounced going to the Odectn, epuntermanded the dinner, and dined at his hotel. At the time when the Prince would have been seated at the Restaurant Eoyot a bomb exploded under the table which was reserved for him. The well-known author, Laurent Tailhade, who was seated at the next table, was seriously wounded by a splinter, and lost the sight of one eye. The criminal was never discovered, and so far as the Prince was concerned the police judged it advisable to keep silence: All cyclists, athletes and footballers use Loasby's Koolibah for sprains, bruises, muscle soreness.
