King Frederick VIII. of Denmark.

Charles of Sweden, while Queen
Maud of Norway has always been ex-
tremely fond of her young cousin,
Princess Margaret Of Connaught,
now married to Prince Gustavus
Adolphus of Sweden. With Prince
and Princess Charles and Princess
Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, as
we'll as the Queen Of Denmark and
the King of Norway working toward
a reconciliation between the courts of
Copenhagen and Stockholm, the
early disappearance of the present i'll
feeling may be regarded as assured.
Perhaps, then, King Frederick
may resume his former efforts to
bring about a Scandinavian union of
Sweden, Norway and Denmark, for
their mutual protection. This has
always been one of his pet schemes,
since away back in the sixties, but
was INSTRUCTED by the reluctance of
Norway to associate herself with
Sweden in the matter as long as she
was subject to the rule of King Os-
car.
King Frederick comes to the
crown with a thorough knowledge of
it's duties and responsibilities, hav-
ing on several occasions exercised
the powers of regent of the kingdom
during his fathers absences in Ger
many and in Austria. A thorough
sesses the same extraordinary
knowledge and extensive experience,
as his brother-in-law, King Edward,
he joins thereto an amount of tact
and Opportunism which renders him
particularly we'll qualified to govern
one Of the most democratic nations
in Europe. Whether the Danes will
ever accord to Frederick the same
amount of love and affection which
Christian enjoyed, even among the
Socialists, it is difficult as yet to say.
Frederick and his wife were the
first foreign royal couple to visit the
President Of the French Republic in
state at the Elysee and since the
overthrow of the Empire, he has
been frequent visitor to Paris He
has been invariably accompanied on
these occasions by his consort, quite
the tallest Queen In Christendom,
being a good head taller than her
husband, who is himself a stalwart
sia-footer. Many of their visits were
Of business character, for the new
Queen of Denmark had at the time
of her marriage one of the largest
fortunes in Europe, and by careful
administration and clever manage
ment her husband has succeeded in
more than doubling it since then. It
Is a fortune that comes to Queen
Louise through her mother, who
married Charles XIV. of Sweden, and
was a sister of the late King of the
Netherlands In financial circles in
Paris Frederick is spoken of with re-
spect as one of the ablest business
men of the day, cleverer even than
King Leopold, since he has never in
dulged in any Of the hazardous and
not always successful speculations OF
the Belgian monarch

Tn addition to a magnificent assert
ment of curious saddles from all parts
of the world many of them being elab-

value. there are the gold and silver
mounted hoofs of favorite racers, more
than fifty sets of richly ornamented
harness and a valuable collection of
sporting pictures. These include paint

Herring, the famous animal painters.
Punch and Vanity Fair turf cartoons

DEHMARK'S DEMOCRATIC KING.
Frederick VIII a Thorough and Pro-
gressiye Man of the World.

greSSiVe Man or the world.
Frederick, who is now 63 years Of
age, may be relied upon to show
himself more pliable than his father,
more progressive in his methods of
government, and more conscious of
his constitutional obligations than
the late King, it is difficult to speak
with any certainty concerning his
foreign policy. He Is the brother of
the Queen CT England, of the King
of Greece and of the widowed Gar
ina, the father of the King of Nor
way, the uncle of the Gar, of the
sovereign Grand Duchess of Neck
lenburg-Schwerin, and of the ruler
of Crete, and with all of them he is
on terms of warm affection. With the
Emperor of Austria he has always
been a particular favorite, and makes
a point of visiting Vienna two or
three times annually, while he has
within the last few years established
the friendliest relations with the
Kaiser, whose guest he has been on
a number of occasions at Berlin.
In fact, Frederick's accession to
the throne finds him at odds with
only one fellow-sovereign, namely,
King Oscar, who, like his son, the
Crown Prince of Sweden, has strong
ly resented the acceptance of the
crown of Norway by Frederick's sec
ond son, Charles, now King HaakOn.
The irritation is not, however, likely
to be of lasting character, for
Queen Louise of Denmark is by birth
a Swedish Princess, and has always
remained deeply attached to her ma
tive country, where she has never
ceased to enjoy an immense amount
of popularity. Then, too, one of her
daughters, Princess Ingeborg of
Denmark, is married to Prince

aesthetics. The music boxes do not
reduce pain or render the patients in
sensible, but, according to Prof. Redard
of Geneva, they do take away certain
ill effects that often accompany the
use of anaesthetics. 1t is a well-known
fact that external impressions received
during the period of somnolence have
great bearing ON the dreams. From
this Prof. Redard conceived the idea
