FREAKS OF FRoLICsoME KINGS

A monarch who, like Alfonso of
Spain, leaps gates like schoolboy,
turns somersaults out of sheer light
heartedness, chases his hat along a
crowded Cowes street, and revels in
playing practical jokes on his grandees,
claim to be the most frolicsome sover-
eign in Europe, altho there are several
kings, old enough to be his grandfath-
er, who would be glad to be able to
emulate his agility and high spirits.
But there few sovereigns who
do not love at times to forget their
rank and to indulge in pranks when
vagaries are not always as innocent as
those of the youthful king of Spain.
Very different were the FRANKS played
by another Alfonso, king Of Portugal,
who found his chief pleasure in roam
ing the streets of his capital at night
with low companions; assaulting, pas
sengers, firing into the coachessof the
mobiles, and routing religious process
sions at the point Of the sword Ivan
", emperor of Russia, took delight in
letting loose wild bears in the streets,
shrieking with laughter at seeing his
subjects fly for their lives, and at set
ting children to kill one. another; and
If he was not too weary, would slay
them himself, and would laugh at this
conclusion to so excellent a joke.'
Edward I, when hunting one day, set
g. laundress on horse and wagered
40 shillings with her that she would
Y not be in at the death Of the stag-a
bet which the lady won handsomely.
Peter III. of Russia had such a
craze for war that he used to give Or
ders for a hundred cannon to be fired
simultaneously, SO that he might en-
s Joy the sensations Of battle.
Christina, queen Of Sweden, used to
dress in male attire and make love to

them in boxes, the same number in
each box.
There was an odd number Of
pennies, so that if he put an equal
number in each Of two boxes there
would be one penny left over; in
like manner he figured on 8, 4, 5,

in every case if he put an equal

The son gave it up and told his
father he thought it impossible to
perform the feat.

of pennies in % boxes, the same
number in each box. How many
