A RICE TABLE IN JAVA.
1t Is the First Substantial Meal OF tn,
Day.


1t Is the First Substantial Meal OF thu
Day.
In Java, as in most really warm coun-
tries, it is customary to rise early and
to take "a cup of tea or coffee, together
with a biscuit and some fruit, immedi-
ately on leaving ones bed. This is fol-
lowed by a more substantial breakfast.
but the first really serious meal is
served at half-past twelve and is the
equivalent Of the French dejeuner "A la
fourchette or the Anglo-Indian tiffin
This meal is called rice table (rys-
tafeD, from the principal dish-a very
elaborate curry, in the preparation of
which the Malay cooks are especially
sllillful
The popularity of the rice table con
sists in the number and variety of
dishes presented. From these dishes
the guest has to select the materials
which together with the rice upon the
soup plate before him, are to constitute
his curry 1t is also to as well know
beforehand that one is not required to
rnch solely on curry, but that the rice
table is succeeded by courses Of ordi-
nary luncheon dishes. 1t is case there
fore, of embarras de richesses.
There are two dangers to be avoided.
In the first place it is quite possible, in
spite of the number Of the dishes pre-
,ented singly to say nothing of an oc-
tagonal tray containing a separate
.hutney in each of its nine compart-
nents, to get no lunch at all For moth
lg is easier than, after saying Nein -
% a succession of frivolous compounds
dismiss the one solid and palatable
dish capable of sustaining an English
man until dinner-time. The second
langer is that of making up one curry
not wisely but too well and leaving
neither appetite nor capacity for the
beefsteak or for any of the other solid
dishes which subsequently appear

strange Sights Seen in the Swedish Roy



Strange Sights Seen in the Swedish Royal
Court.
The Stockholm correspondent Of the
Independent Beige tells this ghost
tory:
For long time it has been no secret
hat spirits haunt the royal palace in
stockholm. Years ago the king be
came so thoroughly convinced of the
presence of ghosts that he had the big
wing most frequented by them torn
down and rebuilt But the ghosts did
not disappear when the alteration was
made, and they still carry on their
nightly carousals. Some time ago the
Danish crown prince and his wife,
while visiting Stockholm court, lived
in the haunted palace. On the first
night there was an extraordinary
manifestation. chamberlain was
lifted from his bed by invisible hands
and was laid on a table at the end of a
bedroom farthest from the bed. On
the following morning Prince Johann
asked him if he had heard the uproar
in his room. On the evening of the same
day Princess Louise was writing in
a room brilliantly lighted. Suddenly
i woman appeared and began extin-
gushing the lights. Princess Louise,
who is celebrated for her courage,
tried to lay hands on the woman,
but the latter vanished as suddenly as
she appeared. Prince Christian, the
eldest son of the crown prince, wished
