The Eccentric King of Bavaria.

Ludwig H., while visiting the Ex-
hibition Of lSG1, became passionately
enamored Of the Empress Eugene, and,
with the impctuosity OF youth he did not
sufficiently hide his sentiments 1t is
also said that, in accompanying him to
the station, the empress embraced him,
smiling in the most natural and charm
ing manner, and that since then he has,
like the little urchin in Punch, been try
ing to rub the salute in, instead of Off.
Certain it is that Ludwig has never al
lowed the lips Of another woman to
brush the place, because it was sore. ="
The only one who ever tried had a duck
ing for her reward. 1t was the actress
who created the role Of Iscult. The king
invited her to take a turn in his boat,
and made her repeat her great aria. Be
coming too enthusiastic, she was about
to fling herself into the royal arms.
Their owner merely chucked her into the
stream, and left her to get out as best
she could. 1t should be added that she
was dark and not comcly.
All this and much more is related with
bated breath at Munich The inhabi-
tents of the capital regard the sovereign
with a kind of awe; the upper classes
look upon him as a poet trying to real.
ize the fancies of his own and others
brains; the humber look upon him as a
supernatural being. - LoHdon Globe.

The GMatemalan Sunday.

Sunday is observed in Guatemala more
than in any other spanish American city
we have visited. Usually, in all these
countries sunday is the great market day
of the week, when all the denizens of
the country dress in their best suits to
come to town to trade and have a little
recrcation; but in Guatemala there is a
law, when is respected and generally
enforced, requiring the market and all
other places of business to remain closed
on Sunday. Sometimes a cigar shop or
Il saloon will be found open, and the
hotels, barrooms or "cantincs,' as they
are called, do more business than on any
other day, but there is no more general
business done here on Sunday than in the
cities of the United States. -Phiiadelphiu

Keeping Rooms Cool.

A cool place should never be venti-
lated, unless the air admitted is cooler
than the air within, or is at least as cool
as that. The warmer the air the more
moisture it holds in suspension. Neces-
sarily, the cooler the air, the more this
moisture is condensed and prccipitated.
When cool cellar is aired on a warm
day, the entering air being in motion APP
pears cool; but as it fills the cellar, the
cooler air with which it becomes mixed
chills it, the moisture is condensed and
dew is deposited on the cold walls, and
may often be seen running down them
in streams. To avoid this the windows
should only be opened at night, and late
the last thing before retiring. There
is no need 70 Fear that the night air is
unheathIul-it is as pure as the air of
midday and is really drier. The cool
air enters TIE apartment during the night
and circulates through it. The windows
should be closed before sunrise in the
morning, and kept closed and shaded
through the day.-Americom 1grieuLtur.

There are many kinds of salads, and in.
structions for making them are as nu-
merous as offers Of advice. Tastes vary
as to the condiments to be used; but
there is one cardinal rule, which, if care
fully observed, will insure success. Do
not let the flavor of any one of the CON
diments prcdomiaa;e over another. A
salad in which oil, vinegar, pepper and
salt are used without quarrel can not
fail to be palatable and good.

Antiquity Of Roller skating.

Roller skating Kinks are multiplying
SO fast that it Is almost impossible tc
keep track Of the entertainments which
take place at these popular places Of
amusement. The origin Of roller skating
dates many years back, having been in.
troduced at Paris in the year 1919 by M.
Dumas, at the Porte st. Martin theatre,
where pas de deux was executed on
roller skates. No attempt was made al
that time to popularize the new inven.
ton. In the year 1899 the ballet in the
opera Of lie PROPHETS" by Mcyerbeer,
were mounted on wheels or roller skates

Cd were very clumsy as compared with

had not ct that time been adopted, and
the skaters and dancers found Il difficult
to either stop themselves or turn without
slackening their speed. In France aud
