The new legislation will become eff.

The Odelsting is the controlling leg

al assembly, the Strothing, is elected
by popular vote and. upon convening
annually, divides itself into houses
the Lagting and the Odelstng. The
former is composed one one-fourth of
the total members of the Storthing,
and the other of the remaining three
fourths. The revision Of the govern

BERLIN NOW CLAIMS
GEORGE " AS A GERMAN

Berlin king George of England
is German through and through. He
is no more an Englishman than any
German citizen of purely Teutonic
descent"
This is the keynote of numerous ar
ticles in the German newspapers in
which King George is requested to
maintain good relations with Germany
and show himself more friendly to
Germany than Edward.
'If George is our enemy he will be
traitor to his own blood"
This is the argument repeated on
all sides by the German press and is
driven home with a demonstration
of how purely German George is. His
pedigree consists of 12S ancestors. OF
these lis are Germans, mostly Of mi
nor German princes and grand dukes.
Even his mother, who was a Danish
princess, is descended from German
families, for the whole Danish dyn-
asty is of purely German origin.
For the last seven generations King
Georges ancestors, PARENTAL and ma
ternal, are purely German. 1t is ne
cessary to go back to the grandmother
os George l. Elizabeth Stuart, to find
the first and almost the only English
blood in Georges veins and Elizabeth
was really Scottish and not English
at all.
A German writer, P. Belgard. is to
be indicted on a charge of les majestic
for belittling the imperial family IN
publishing a story holding up to ridi-
cule one of the Kaiser's remote an
cestors, Joachim, the first elector of
Brandenburg, who reigned in Berlin
from 1899 to 1886.
The story published by Belgard is
apropos of the comet and says that
Joachim was victimized into believing
the earth was doomed to destruction
In 1895 and that on July 18th of that
year Joachim, in a panic, fled to the
to escape the inundation
which he feared. Not a drop of rain
fell and when he returned to the pal
ace the citizens of Berlin greeted him
with jeers and gloomy visages.

AMBASSADORS.
They Enjoy Some Curious Privileges
at European Courts.

at European Courts.
In the popular mind-the American
mind at least-there is very little diff
ference between an ambassador and a
minister. but the former is entitled to
very many privileges abroad that are
denied tC a mere envoy.
For instance. one curious privilege Of
an ambassador is that he. and he
alone when dismissed, may turn his
back to the sovereign to whose court
he is accredited The mode Of pro-
cedure. generally speaking, is as fol-
lows:
When the audience is at an end the
ambassador waits to be dismissed by
the sovereign. When dismissed the
ambassador bows, retires three PAGES,
bows again, retires three PAGES, bows
third time, turns on his heels and
walks to the folding doors. But when
the reigning sovereign is a woman,
still potter methods obtain. To turn
his back would be disc Jurteous; to
walk backward would be to resign
privilege; therefore the ambassador re-
tires sideways like a crab He keeps
one eye on the sovereign and with the
other he endeavors to find the door.
By this unique means he contrives to
evince all politeness to the sovereign
and at the same time retain one of his
privileges.
Another privilege of ambassadors is
the right of being ushered into the
royal presence through folding doors,
both of which must be flung wide for
him. No one save an ambassador can
claim this privilege, the most any non
ambassadorial individual can expect is
that one of the doors shall be opened
to him.
One privilege appertaining to the
ambassador. one capable of causing
great Inconvenience to the ruler, is the
right of demanding admission to the
