The Kings Cook.

The king of Sweden popped in the
other day at the sailors home at
Stockholm just as dinner was being
served up, and asked the permission
of the sailors to be their guest, which,
OF course, they consented to. Sud-
denly his majesty exclaimed to his
chamberlain, ''Why, look here, here's
excellent cabbage soup. I never get
such soup as this at my table" After
this the king went into the kitchen
and interviewed the cook. This diplo-
matte proceeding ended by the cook
being taken into the kings service.

New stud:e, at Yale.

Arithmetic, which has en- on the
Yale list of requirements since the
university was first founded, has been
dropped. AS compensation a large
amount of study in English litera ture
must now be done before a student
GIN enter Yale. Much more algebra
AMI geometry must also be studied in
the PREF aratory schools, and exa,nina-
tions in these subjects can be taken in
two years if wished. Several new
courses are announced in the scientific
department. Work in electricity.
metallurgy, history and biology is to
be done in the future along entirely
original lines.

The Kentucky people believe in
having good time. At an old-fash-
ioned dancing party the other night,
to which several women came with
their babies, some young men changed
the clothes of the infants while their
parents were dancing, ana mixed them
up generally. On the following day
there was great commotion-boy
babies had unaccountably changed to
girls, and, as the families lived miles
apart, it took several days to restore
the innocents to their respective

KING Errlcus of Sweden publicly
confessed that he was sorcerer and
magician. He was the owner of an
enchanted cap, which he pretended
ena oled him to control the spirits and
change the direction of the winds at
pleasure. So firmly did his subjects
believe in the supernatural power of
their ruler that when a storm arose
they would exclaim, 'Ah! the king In

"Let the master practice on his slave. Me-

1t was not likely would, but there was
no assurance that my servant would exer-

on second thoughts, his proposition seemed

me into an overweening conceit with my

Happily, was not entirely ignorant in the
use of the sword, for my graver studies had
been interrupted, perhaps too often, by pro

it was no light matter to stand up before a

as goats, and | believe n spectator would
have said the fencing was lively. For an
hour each day we exercised thus, and my
companions good humor continued un.

We lived this life for a month. During
all that time the weather was glorious, and
we enjoyed 10 undisturbed The brig float

either to our course or our destination. We
told tales and sang songs and ate and
drank and fenced and studied, and allalone
on a derelict, waterlogged ship led the
most delectable existence imaginable. My

ever that Abram ben Alden, most adroit of
courtiers, most subtle of flatterers, saw
through me and took my measure with

One evening in our fencing exercise
thought he pressed harder on me than ever
before, and that his blade rang with unac-
customed sharpness. But the quickeDed
movements only made my blood run the
faster, for by this time was both confident

member the thrill caused by the thought,

Ordinarily we put away our weapons as

lay across our knees as we ate and drank.
