Oscar H., The Ruler Of
Sweden and Norway -
He Is Rightfu11y C1assed the Most Accomplished
Monarch n World.

his brother Charles Nv, in 1872, he
became monarch of the two kingdoms.
He had married, in 1851, Princess
Sophia of Nassau. -Four sons were
born to Oscar and sophia; Gustav, in
1858; Oscar (Bernadotte), in 1859; Carl,
in 1861; and Eugene, in 1865.
Gustav may well be an object of
envy TO the sonless car, for the former
is the proud father of three stalwart
lads; Gusiayus Adolphus, Duke of
SHANE; Prince Wilhelm, Duke of Solder
mainland, and Erik, the pet of his royal
grandfather. Gustayus Adolphus, as
heir presumptive. is receiving n very
thorough training. He is attending
military school, this training being
considered valuable for one who is to
be commander in chief of the army;
and he is also being well grounded in
history and in the doctrines of the
established church. The heir pre-
sumptive, who is now 81 years of age,
is very fond of hunting and of athletics
in general.
The second son is tall youth of IS
and bids fair 10 add further inches TO

continuance OF the union of Norway
and Sweden under one ruler, and
prophesy that Gustavus Adolphus will
meet with many difficulties when his
turn comes as monarch of the two
Kingdoms. This much is known: when
illness compelled hing Oscars tenn
porary retirement and Gustavus re-

did not show a lamblike attitude by
any manner of means; but cool coun-
sells finally prevailed, and the throne
remained mistaken.

Emperor William as a model ruler,

AMERICAN EXTRAVAGANZA.
TO He saving in the United StateA,
Man Must Possess Moral
Courage.

Economy in this country. and espe.
2lally on the Pacific coast. is almost
,lisreputable. \ man is ashamed to
acknoW ledge that he walks TO save car
fare or orders Il light lunch to save the
expense of a heavy one. One never
finds Caiifornians ordering one por-
ton of meat at a restaurant for two
persons, even when they know that
one portion would be more than
enough for both. There was a time.
not very long ago, when people in San
Francisco, says the Bulletin, disdained
10 accept change from quarter of a
dollar, and especially in barrooms the
porters thrived and grew rich on the
small silver, CONTEMPORARY called
chicken feed which patrons left on
the bar.
To be saving in the United States a
man must have moral courage. The
man who refuses TO pay more than
reasonable price for clothes, let us
say, or for dinners, and who puts the
money thus saved into a bank, feels
like a thief; and people talk and act
as though to save money were in fact
to steal il.
Only in eXtravagant America, how
ever, is economy disreputable. Here,
as some one has written, where one
man is as good as another, he must be
lavish of his money, being all soyer-
eiens, we must be as prodieal as
princes. But in Europe no one re-
spects man the less or treats him the
worse for trying to live cheaply. Peo-
pie of wealth and breeding do not dis
dain TO practice little economies in
Europe.
This extravaganza with money is a
natural trait of rich people, and it
would do less harm if only the really
rich Americans displayed it. But the
middle class Americans, striving TO
show themselves as good as the mill
lionaire countrymen, are the most
prodigal of all, and it is they who
while spending more than their means
made reasonable, have created the
general opinion in Europe that every
American traveller is an unspeakably
opulent person to rob whom is the
patriotic duty of every Europeon
brigand that goes under the name Of
inn keeper, guide, merchant, servant
or others of that TX.
