king Edwards Perquisites.

From the st. James Gazette.
A king has many privileges, but the Cd
dest of all King Edwards is surely the
right he has by statute to the head of
every whale caught on the coasts of his
kingdom. The tail is to go to Queen AL
exandra the object of the division being
to guarantee that the Queens wardrobe
shall be furnished with whalebone. King
Edward is not likely to receive many
whales, however long he may reign. but
there are many perquisites of the Crown
which are not so rare as whales in Eng
land. The King is entitled, for instance,
to every sturgeon brought to land in the
United Kingdom; one of them, caught in
the Thames, was on the table at Queen
Victoria's wedding banquet. The King
should receive too, every year from di-
verse persons, a tableeloth worth three
shillings, two white doves, two white
hares, a catapult, pound of cuminseed,
horse and halter, a pair of scarlet hose,
currycomb, a pair of tongs, a crossbar,
coat of gray fur, a nightcap a falcon,
two knives, a lance worth two shillings,
and silver needle from his tailor.

finish it before the fire would begin to
burn her.
But, behold! just as they put the fire
to the wood, she drew the last stitch in
the twelfth shirt, and that instant flock
of wild geese were seen flying toward
them. Straight for the pile and for
Maura the wild geese flew. She caught
hold of the twelve shirts, and over each
wild goose as it came up she threw a
shirt, and the instant she did So the wild
geese were transformed into fine, hand
some young men. And when the Prince
and all there We're wondering, up walked
the very old woman with whom she had
spent the night on her travels, and this
woman had three babies with her; Maura' S
three that had been thrown into the sea.
The old woman led the children to the
Prince, and told him what had really
happened, and Maura was taken off the
pile, and the red-haired woman was put
on it instead, and burned.
MauTa's twelve brothers were now for
ever released from their enchantment,
and the Prince appointed them twelve
officers in his army, and he and Maura
and their three children were very, very
happy ever after.

went on as before, and at the end of
that time another child was born. The
red-headed woman had this child also
thrown into the sea and stained Maura' s
hands and the room with blood again.
And when the Prince came in to look at
his child and found no child. and Maura' s
hands and the room stained with blood,
he was in a terrible rage, and he could
not get Maura to say one word on the
subject.
He went away, and Maura for the next
twelve months worked harder than ever
before. for the gathering and spinning
caenavawn was very tedious work.
At the end of the next twelve months
when she had the twelfth shirt almost
finished, a third child was born to her,
and the red-headed woman did this time
as she had done on the other two times,
and when the Prince came into the room
he found no child, but the blood again

before she had also urged him to burn
his wife, but he had always refused. Now
he thought there was nothing for it but
to agree, so when he gave his consent a
great heap of wood was prepared for a
fire in the castle yard, and Maura was
taken out and bound to a stake on the
heep.
When she found herself being carried
out, she seized the shirts, and when they
tied her to the stake she worked and
worked as fast as her fingers could go
upon the twelfth shirt, for 1t was very,
very nearby finished, but it was very
doubtful whether she would be able to

THE TWELVE WILD GEESE.

Once uSon time there was a girl
named AIaura who had had twelve broth
ers, but when each of her brothers reach
ed Il years of age he suddenly disap-
peared, and no one knew what became
of them.
When Maura reached sixteen years of
age, and her twelfth brother was just
carried off, she said she would not re-
main at home, but would travel away in
search of her brothers, and never stop
until she would find them.
So she started and Travelled away be-
fore her far further than could tell you,
and twice as far as you could tell me
until she reached a strange country and
Ghere at wee house in which there lived
only one old woman, she put up one
evening as night was coming down.
The old woman welcomed her and set
her down to a good supper.
Maura saw there were preparations
made for twelve others beside herself,
at the table, and just as she sat down
she saw a flock Of wild geese coming to-
wards the house. They flew in at the door
and she counted twelve and al they lit
on the floor every one of the wild geese
turned into a young man, and they were
Mauras twelve brothers.

Occasionally a man muttered, but as a

little table rear the window and put a
little bunch Of flowers in a glass; She
WASN'T very pretty; she was tall and an

presence seemed to brighten the room

would ell set out for home the next morn
ing; but they told her they could never
go home, that they were enchanted, but
allowed to come to this house every night
and enter into their own shape until
cockcrow next morning.
Poor Maura cried bitterly when she
heard this. They sat up all night taking
and talking, but the moment the cock
crew in the morning, the twelve brothers
turned into twelve wild geese again and
flew out of the door and away.
Maura asked the old woman if there
was no way at all of releasing her broth
ers. and the old woman told her that she
could release them in one way
How is that?" said Maura.

Maura agreed to do this And after she
got her breakfast, she went out into the
boys and gathered up the full of her arms
with caenavawn and brought them home.
Then the old woman gave her a silver
