there were two brothers. One was
called Prometheus, because he always
looked forward and boosted that he
was wise. The other was called.
Epimetheus, because he looked back
ward and did not boast at all; but
said, humbly, quoting the Irishman, that
he preferred prophesy after the event.
There came to the two brothers a most
beautiful creature that ever was seen,
Pandora by name. But because she had
strange package in her hand, this fan.
ciful, suspicious, prudential, theoretical,
deductive, prophesying Prometheus would
have nothing to do with pretty Pandora
and her package. But Epimetheus took
her and married her, for better or for
worse, as every man should whenever he
has chance for good wife. Imagine
the delight it afforded Epimetheus when
he opened the package and found that it
was box Of Poujade's cigars, with an
order for several plugs of choice tobacco,
and some fine coffee. So Epimethus got
the two best things in the world, while
old Prometheus had to be chained to the
top Of mountain with vulture by him
to give him peck whenever he stirred,
lest he should turn the world upside down
with his prophesies and theories. Is

Odd Dinner Cusien,s in sweden.

The Swedes have n queer way OF 10
connection at their meals. They often
fit about like flies, from one table to an
other, and sometimes seem to turn the
menu topsy-turvy when they order a re-
past. 1t is no rare thing to see them
begin with cheese and biscuit, next pro-
coed to ham and salad, with a slice Of
meat to follow, and then suddenly start
up in the middle of their dinner to swal-
low, while they walk about, plateful
of pea soup. A habit which they have
of beginning each repsst with what they
call IS smorgos," not merely leads to
much untidiness ut neai-time, but makes
them seem content ID to live on bits and
scraps. The smo rgos consists of little
dishes, such as. slices Of smoked rein
deer, and caviar, and sardines, with
pickles. cheese, and other whets provo
cative Of thirst. These are 6shed out
with a fork of general utility. and laid
on thumb pieces of rye cake, thickly
smeared with butter, which serve by
way of plate. Then they are bitten
into, regardless of the fragments which
may fall ON other dainties (for your true
smOrgos-eater seldom sits to his
repast), and they are finally washed
down with glass or two Of spirits
which stand handy by their side. Such
prelnde to meal is not merely IN.
Clearly, but must vitiate the palate, and
injure the digestion. Indeed, I feel
convinced that, we're the smorgosbord
abolished. not merely would the cook
cry in Sweden soon improve, bot very
many Of the people would be gradually
weaned from their weakness for strong
drink. 2. .''7'--'
