Lake of the Four can.ons. in Switzerland

Lake of the Four Cantons, in Switzerland
which was granted to them in 1872 by En-
peror Rudolf of Hapsburg. They have
been fervert Roman Catholics for eight
centuries. and il I lay stress this it
IS because the name OF Meyer suggests
the Hebraic race and. when In conjunction
with the title OF baron. a nobiliary dignity
of modern origin.
The Pope's Swiss Guard is the only corps
of the kind now left. In the eighteenth
century the Kings of France and of Naples,
as well as the Czar of Russia. had their
Swiss guards, and although they used to
be denounced in those days as mercenaries.
yet they greatly distinguished themselves
by the heTeism of their defence OF the
King and Queen of France against the
bloodthirsty revoIutionists when the latter
stormed, first of all Versailles and after
ward the Tuileries. The Swiss Guard of
the Kingdom OF Naples went out Of exist
ence with the overthrow OF the Bourbon
rule in Italy. and unless l am much mis-
taken, the Swiss Guard of the Russian
crown was disbanded by Emperor Paul.
The Swiss Guard of the Pope has been
in existence for over four centuries, having
been first formed in October, 1906, by Pope
JULIUS IL, at the suggestion Of the Swiss
Narolnal Schinner, and the uniforms, de-
signed by Michael Angelo. at the request OF
Pope Julius. remain identicalIy the same
as they were in the days OF the illustrious
master who painted the frescos of the
olstine Chapel During several pontifcal
reigns certain features of their uniform,
notably their helmets, were rodernized.
But Plus x has restored to them the arnor
and the helmet worn by the corps when
it was first enrolled.

KING WON'T EXHIBIT
No Dogs of George V and of the
Queen at ANY Show.

copyright, 1910, by the brentwood Company
King George has made it known that
neither he nor Queen Mary has any inen-
ton OF sending exhibits from the royal
Kennels to the dog shows. He does not
consider that the condition OF dog breeding
IN England calls for this sort Of encour-
asement on his part, in the same way as
stock raising. Moreover. the dogs which
he himself, Queen Mary and the royal chill
dren own are kept not for any en1inence
IN their own particular class. but rather
for their homeiy qualities and as pets,
from which their royal masters and mis-
rssses do not care to separate themselves
to have them placed on exhibition
It is settled that the King will pass most
OF the month Of January at Windsor, while
February and March viii be spent in
London, where the accouchement of the
Queen will take place some time in March.
The Easter parliamentary recess will. ac-
ccrding to present arrangements be spent
by the King at Balmorsl, for the sake Of
the fishing and for a much needed rest
preparatory TO the fatigues Of the corona
ton ceremonies and festivities. Neither
the King nor the Queen will go abroad
until after the coronation, and then cs,ly
for the purpose OF paying the customary
series OF state visits to foreign capitals,
beginning with a call on the Emperor Of
Austria, who in point of age and in length
Of his reign is the Nestor Of the Old World
monarehs. But there will be no stays at
Marienbad, Honlburg Or any other Cont
mental spa or thermal resort as in the
days Of King Edward, and whatever holi-
days the King and Queen will have in the
autumn will be spent at Balmoral.
Owing to the frequent trips abroad OF
Edward VII, and to his prolonged So
iourns at Sandringhanl, where the house
hold was cut down to the smallest di
mensione, his gentlenen-in-wailing had a
comparatively easy time of it, the main
work falling on his private secretary and
three or four favorite equerries. But
under King George things are different.
The lords and groons in waiting have to
take their regular turns OF ruty In attend
ance on the monarch. There are no longer
any dispensations Of service. and this has
the advantage Of relieving in measure
the very erduous lahors that fell TO the
share OF the principal equerries in the late
reign

Queen Treated to Slang.

Prince Hans of Observation-Disclosures who
has Just celebrated his eighty-sixth birth
day at Copenhagen, is a younger brother OF
Ihe late King Christian OF Denmark, an
uncle, therefore, of Queen Alexandra and
Of the widowed Empress of Russia, and a
granduncle OF King George. He Is the
most kindly Old bachelor that II IS possible

only with all his relatives. but with the
entire Danish people, and was a particular

there his nephews and nieces, Prince
George Che present King first and fore

every conceivable kind Of English slang,
imbutng him with the impression, however,
that il was the choicest language.
The result when, few days after his
arrival. he was invited TO Windsor to dine
with Queen Victoria was, TO say the least,
startling. for with the most sublime uncon-
seriousness of saying anything that was in
the least degree unsuited for the ears OF
her majesty he treated her to all the Lon
don argot which he had learned from the
young people at Marlborough House. and
gave utterance TO music hall gags" and
slang Of every conceivable nature. with an
air of profound Difference and even So
Ienlnity, that rendered the scene irresisti-
bly, comic.

made up her mind to ask him in German

learned who had been his instructors. that

Elective Studies.
In the city of my own home. New
York, the secondary schools lead direct
iy TO others which give the highest
scientific or the highest academic and
literary training. They provide that ra-
uonal system OF elective studies which
takes some account of the pupils wishes,
circumstances and needs. but does not
commit the folly Of allowing schoolpoys
or schoolgirls TO decide entirely for
themselves what they ought to study. or
how long. From these secondary schools
attentive pupils can pass. properly pre-
pared. to the best scientific schools in
the country or to the bes. colleges. in
