MOnarchs Of Europe.

1t is a curious fact that there is
hardly reigning monarch in Europe
whose family is of the same national
ity, absolutely, as the people gov
erned. The house of Austria is really
the house of Lorraine, and even in
their origin the Hapsburgs were
Swiss. And if the emperor Francis
be not, strictly speaking, an Austrian,
still less is he a Hungarian, although
he is King of Hungary.
The King of Belgium is Sake CO.
burger; the King of Denmark a Hol-
steiner; the infant monarch of Spain is
a Bourbon; the King of Italy a Savo-
yard; the King Roumania and Prince
Ferdinand OF Bulgaria are both for
eigners; the founder of the Berna-
dotte dynasty in Sweden was born at
Pau less than century and a quarter
ago; the Gar is Holstein Gottorp,
and the King of the Hellenes is like
wise a Holsteiner.
Even in England's royal family
there is very little English blood left.
The Hohenzollerns were originally
Suabians and, therefore, partly Ba-
varians and partly Swiss. Neither was
the historic house of Orange, in which
patriotism has nearly always been the
first instinct, Dutch to begin with. =

Well.Trained Rat.

1t is n well-known fact that rats and
mice do not infest house at the
same time. Working upon this hint
as to the nature of rodents, n. X.
Laureson of Vicksburg, Miss, has
adopted scheme by which he keeps
himself rid OF both pests. This no
accomplishes by capturing a young
rat and training him to catch mice.
This singular mouser, whose name, by
the way, is Gar, is doubtless the
most successful one on record. lie
has been taught to pounce upon
mouse on short order, without feaf
and without favor, and he shows 90
mercy. OF course, he can follow the
mice into close quarters, and never has
been known to lose his quarry.
Strange to relate, large rats have
given the house the go-by also SEEM
ing to understand that the place be-
longs to Gar, and that there must be
no encroachment upon his preroga-
tive.
Laureson is very fond of his queer
pet, and has taught him many inter-
esting tricks. Among others he has
trained him to handle a bow, and
with a miniature violin Gar manages
to ecrape the strings in a way that is
not very unmusical. OF course, it has
been impossible to teach him really to
play piece but setting on his hind
legs, with his fiddle grasped in his
tiny claws, Gar produces a sort OF
half-screeching sound that is altogeth-
err weird and fantastic. Laureson is
himself violinist of no mean order,
and Gar likes nothing better than to
sit on his masters knee and listen to
his playing. Philadelphia Times.
