AN EMPERoR's TASTE.
1t Was the Origin of - Common Say
ing In Austria.

ing In Austria.
An anecdote which was current Of
Ferdinand l. of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to a common saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting in the Syrian
mountains and was overtaken by
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
uge in a farmhouse whose occupants
were just then at dinner, and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made Of coarse flour. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna, to the hor-
ror of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalized that
such a coarse dish should figure on
the menu, and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men, but he now show
ed that he had a will Of his own and
persisted in gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
it was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumpIings aud insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de-
clared that he would never sign anoth-
er official document if his diet were
denied him.
Emperor I am" he shouted, "and
dumplings l will havep'
To prevent a stoppage of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn, and his majesty chung tena-
ciousIy to his dumplings. Then the iro-
perial phrase became proverbial, and
thereafter when any one insisted on
gratifying a silly whim some one was
sure to say:
Emperor am, and dumplings 1 will
hayei"
