AN EMPEROR'S TASTE.
1t Was the Origin of a Common Say
H1E In Austria.

An anecdote which was current of
Ferdinand /. of Austria ct one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to i common saying. One sum-
mer day he was hunting in the Syrian
mountains and was overtaken by a
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
uge in Il farmhouse whose occupants
were just then 1T dinner. and his fam
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse flour. He tasted
them. liked them and asked for more.
and when be 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 will of his own and
persisted III gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
it was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted Oh his
giving them up. The hitherto GOcile
sovereign stamped his foot and de
clared that he would never sign anoth-
er official document if his diet were
denied him.
Emperor | am" he shouted, land
dumplings | will haver'
To prevent stoppage of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn. and his majesty chung tena-
ciously to his dumplings. Then the i'm
perial phrase became proverbial, and
thereafter when any one insisted on

sure to Saye

sold his place and went west. That
was the report anyway.
Some years after that there was a
movement that injured the Universal
list society. That was the spirtualist
excitement of stable tipping" and
esprit rappings," after the Fox girls
following. If l remember correctly
it started in Glover on the Sheffield
road at the home of Horace Leonard,
a quiet and excellent citizen. 1t con-
tinued to grow so that Grin French,
Isaac Smith, Lyman DAZZLING, StilIman
Bickford and some others in the
Universalist church got to holding
seances instead of attending church.
Those in opposition were John Crane,
Amos P. Bean, Joseph II. Dwinell,
Amos Cook Jr, Charles Hardy,
Nathan Norton and some others.
There was one good feature even
about this appearance of spiritualism
in Glover; the free-love element
never struck Glover The follows
of that fad were good people
and honest in their convictions.
There were some of the orthodox
people interested in it but l have for
gotten who they were.
Most of the men in Glover were
definite distinctive men, argumenta-
tive critical, independent and scarce
ly any two alike, and yet they were
good neighbors and busy men with
scarcely Ioafer in town at that time.
1t has always been said that New
England Yankees were an inquisitive

rection.
When tavern was in the old Dan
Gray tavern, a stranger put up there
for the night. He was good talker
and a number of Gloverites were in
the barroom in the evening and
piled the stranger with questions un-
til he was tired of it. People: in

some on asphalt in which they keep

RELATING TO IRON.
Discovery of the Metal, According 30
Various Authorities.

The Bible speaks of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
of smiths. The Egyptians imputed to
Hephaestus the same honor. while PHI
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the
forests on the mountain, side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
1882 years B. G.. Jeremiah and Eze-
kiel both mention iron in their Scrip
tural writings. the latter specially men
tiOning two qualities of the metal and
calling one bright iron, which was prob
ably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace. and
Job speaks of it as being taken out Of
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making siclleS
knives and such things. Sparta first
used iron for money. Britain also used
it as a medium of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Brit0ns before the time of Christ
used to export iron to GauL and after
the Roman conquest the conquerors es-
tablished extensive smelling works,
which existed at least as late as the

Those who suffer from poorness of
