Influence of Ericsson's Mother.

Nor did the good mother fail to do her part
in stimulating the ambition and training the
faculties Of her SOILS. The royal family Of
Sweden have always been patrons of litera-
ture. and some of its melnbers poets and
dramatists of no mean degree. The years
from III to 1909 include what is remembered
in Sweden as the Gustavan period-some-
what as we characterize the period of Shake
speare, Bacon and Ben Jonson as the age of
Elizabeth. Ericssou's mother caught the
spirit of her time She studied with ardor
philosophical, social, religious and political
works.
Walter Scott was among her favorites, and
from her john obtained impressions concern
iu- the imaginative arts which never wholly
left him. Absorbed as he was in the dry de-
tail, Of mechanical construction, he OCCASION
ally found use for other metres than those of

deeds of his ancestors, and when Frithiof 5

The women of Guatemala, when young, are
very pretty, slight of figure, graceful OF
movement and coquettish in Their ways.
They havo transparent, olive compexions,
about of a mulatto tint; abundant black hair,
which they wear in neat braids that fall be-
low the waist, delicate features, large lus-
trous black eyes that beam with intelligence
and good humor, and small hands and feet;
and they like fun.
The women work in the fields with the
men, for there are few household cares to de-
tain them, and they come to market every
morning bearing upon their heads large, fiat
baskets filed with vegetables and delicious
fruits. Mothers carry their babies in Melted
sings upon their backs, and the little ones lie
rs contentedly as if they were in a cradle of
down and lace.
The women travel in groups of six, eight
ten and sometimes more persons, and seldom
walk, but keep up slow and graceful trot
for miles and hours at "a stretch Like the
peasant women in France they have u word
of greeting for all whom they meet on their
way.
When they are tired they sit for awhile I'M
der some wayside tree, talking of themselves
and their families and gossipng about their
neighbors, Just as women of other countries
do. Their gay costumes give them a pictu-
resqueness that natives oil no other American
country have, and their bright and pretty
faces are the most attractive sight the trav-
eler in Guatemala finds-Y ouths Com

A Frenchman has been collecting data re-
Gently in regard to the dishes which the fem
mime rulers of European countries prefer
upon their tables. According to his state
ments, Queen Victoria is especially fond Of
Scotch cuisine. Her meal is invariably be-
gun with plate of oatmeal porridge, 50 dear
to the palate of the Highlander. One of her
favorite dishes is smoked ham. She drinks
beer with great gusto, and eats bread baked
especially hard and firm The queen Of Swe-
den eats substantial food, consisting chiefly
of beefsteak which is an invuriable part of
each meals bill of fare She is also fond of
smoked salmon, preserved according to the
method Of her country; of meatballs dressed
with beans, and of eggs fried in milk and
oil. The court of Germany, strange TO say,
despite the German names of the dishes, is
addicted to the French cuisine.
The Empress Frederick, however. prefers
English cookery, and is especially fond of
pastry. The royal family of Italy, although
in many ways the simplest and most demo
cratic in Europe, always dine from dishes Of
gold. They only drink the wine of their own
country, and show great preference for the
"fritto," q dish composed Of the hearts of
artichokes and the combs and livers of chickl
ems. Bx-Queen Isabella loves the ''coeido"
of CASTLE, with all its accessories She also
eats daily portion Of rice The queen re-
gent Of Spain prefers the Austrian cuisine
She eats roasts of all kinds with jcllics,
gooseberry jelly being one of her principal
favorites. During the earlier days of her life
in Spain she ate one only kind of bread, which
was sent to her from Vienna. OF late years,
however, probably in keeping with her patri-
otto endeavors she eats the bread Of the coun-

Shvness of the German Woman.

The German woman is stereotyped, runs
in grooves, is inclined to worship crystallzed
forms, authority, order, propriety and placid
commonplaces. In short, she is slightly Chi
nese. She lacks the courage of her convc
tons. She might be more fearless, less
conventional, have more initiative and lose
none of her womanliuess. Whether or not
courage is an essentially womanly virtue
need not he discussed here. AT all events
men, whatever their theories, have usually
found it rather a convenient thing to have
III the house. 1t seeks and induces truth,
while timidIty Is the mother of lies. If it is
worth while for women to be honest, it is
worth while for them to be fearless The
noble German woman described by Tacitus
was no coward. The German professor Of
