The committee on Scandlysn history
furnished the program for the after
noon, which consisted Of very pleas
ant reading from Prof. Anderson's
Norse Mythology. descriptive Of Odnl
aud his four sons, the gods OF honor,
yalor, light and darkness.
Then followed a description OF Roes-
kllde and Copenhagen, the tlTst the
former home and the latter the present
residence OF the royal family. THIS
article was prefsced by a newspaper ex-
cerpt, which stated that all the royal
rulers OF the present time, with the ex-
ceptiOn OF the sutton of Turkey, could,
on one SIDE or the other, trace their
lueage hack 10 John of Client, son Of
Edward III.
After this the subject Of Scandina-
Wan history was resumed, coamenc-
lng at he reign of Eric PomoTania,
1857 at which time the union of Sweden,
Norway and Denmark under the rule
OF one king was effected. Eric Pomo-
rania was weak monarch and very
unpopular with his people. At his
death, which occurred IN l440, Christie
pher of bavaria was elected his success
sor. He reigned only eight years, but
during his royal administration the
seat of government was changed from
Roeskilde to Copenhagen, where II has
since remained. During his term the
commerce of the north was seriously
effected by the Hanseatic League. And
at this date John Guttenburg invented
printing.
Christopher leaving no heirs to the
throne, Duke Adolphus of Schleswig
was chosen, but declined on account OF
advanced age, and recommended his
nephew, Christian |. He was the first
of the House of Oldenburg, and
relgned from l44s to 1881. Under his
rule the University of Copenhagen was
established. Being anxious 10 have the
succession remain in his family. he had
his son Hans, at the age of 6, elected as
his successor. There were serious finan-
cial difficulties under his regime which
eliminated at the marriage of his
daughter TO James of Scotland, when,
III order 10 provide for her dowery,
lie mortgaged the Orkney Islands and
they were eventually lost TO memory.
During the rule of King Hans, 1894 TO
1913, he attempted the subjection OF
the little province of Dittemarsh, who
nad q hepuollcan government, Out was
ANONYMOUSLY defeated. Hans was sue
ceeded by Christian. Under him the
Reformed Church gained a strong foot
hold. After the reformation the litera-
ture of the country was much inn
proved. Down 10 1886. the kings all
having been of German descent-the
Danish language was almost obsolete
at court German was spoken and all
records were kept in that language.
After that date, and upon the ascension
OF Frederick to the throne, the Danish
became the language of the country.
