gathered from the description which they
all unite in giving of certain apparently
supernatural occurrences which took
place during the visit of the Crown
Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark
and their children to the court of Sweden
last winter. II is said that on
the night following the arrival of
the Danish royalties at Stockholm their
chamberlain, Count Moltke, suddenly
found himself thrown from his bed upon
the floor with considerable force, and
without being able in any way to account
for the occurrence. On the following

later Princess Louise, of Denmark, the
beautiful 1S-year-old daughter of the
Grown Prince, was writing letters in her

kind. For, happening to enter room for
the purpose of getting some article which
he had forgotten there early in the day,
he backed out of it, pale and trembling,
declaring that the room was full of armed
men who had forced him to retire. The
last apparitlon was seen on the eve of the
departure of the Danish royalties,
when the crown prince and the
crown princess of Denmark were
playing whist with King Oscar
and the Grown Prince of Sweden. The

the attention of his partner. He had be-

son had become ill, seized him by the
shoulder with the object of rousing him,
whereupon the Crown Prince exclaimed
that he had caught sight of the blood
stained apparition of some unknown per
son standing at the other side of the
table, and that it had afterward glided
out through the wall.
OF course, all this may sound ridicu-

do not believe in the supernatural. But
even they would experience an uncanny
feeling if forced by circumstances to re

of a suicide or of murder. What won

sonages should entertain the same kind
of superstitions and sentiments with re-

pecially when it is borne in mind that the
blood has in almost every case belonged
to their more or less remote ancestors.
