A Royal Visitor When staying at Drottaingholm, a fxvorite royal palace near Stockholm, he sometimes pays a visit to the kit- inspecting pots and pans and asking what there Is for dinner, Should some delicious cake or other little "tit-bit" happen to be lying about it might disappear as mysteriously as whea his grandchildren find their way out there! And it is no secret that| Princess Ingrid is a real little epicure. Sometimes, when espying the pastry cook in one of the long corridors, the King will walk ap to her, shake hands, and say "Thank you so much for those dovely cakes you made for tea yester- day" Many Steps to Get Nothing but copper utensils are used in the royal kitchens, At Drottningholm all the kitchen stoves are heated by birch weod.' Where are stockpots so heavy that it 4akes t vo people 10 move them. All round the kitchen are situated the sculleries, the pastrycook's room, and so on, while to get to the serving! woom you hawe to cross a yard, rather a cold proposition for the food in win- fer time, and most inconvenient, when | one wealizes that, having safely ar wived im the serving room, there re- mains a further journey up a lift be- fore the food reaches its final destina- tion. The kitchen of the Prince of Sweden is very much like the one at Drottningholm. All pots and pans are of copper and marked to indicate their weight and capacity. Some have a royal crown engraved on them, and the initials of the King and Queen from whose reign they date. There are ditferent store rooms for the different kinds of comestibles; one for vegetables, ome for preserves and fruit, and one for meat. The refrig- erator for the meat consists of a long deep cistern, in which everything is kept on blocks of doe. Next to it we find a huge stone mortar which re quires the strong arms of a man to manipulate it. The kitchen at Ulriksdal is ruled ever by a housekeeper who has six maids under her. Pancakes Every WNeek! The menus present a great variety of dishes, but neither the Crown Prince nor the Crown Princess has any special favorite dish, though like ~ King Gustaf, they keep to the old +» Bwedish custom of having for dinner every Thursday of the year pea soup, with pork, and pancakes with jam The former, as cooked in my coun- try and served with a glass of hot Punsch (a liqueur made from Arrac), Is quite delicious. Simple Routine Thus King Gustaf has breakfast at nine (a very simple meal, consisting of Just a cup of tea and an egg). For lunch, at one o'clock, he hasan egg-- or fish dish, some meat and some cooked fruit. Dinner is just as simple, Fish, meat, a sweet and sometimes dessert, when the King generally takes an orange. He does not like soups, but fish, and especially plaice and those delicious Baltic sprats are favorite dishes, and #0 are game and poultry. With his simple dinner King Gustaf takes just one glass each of sherry, burgundy and port. beng A Fair Offer The instructor was: addressing a aumber of flying cadets on the uses of the parachute. "Now, then," he sald, "if anything it goes wrong with your plane, jump out, count three as you are falling, so that you are free of the plane, and then pull the ring." He paused for his words to sink in. "You will then find that the parachute will open and you'll come down as lightly as a feather." "But supposing it doesn't open?" asked one of his listeners. "Bring it back, and I'll give you an- other," replied the imstructor.--Ans- 'wers, v fees Spain Has As Many Beggars As Lawyers impossible to sit at a table in a cafe without being approach- 5.

He writes: "Ounce in a while every lobster out- grows its shell, splits it down the back and sheds it, emerging from it in a soft-shelled state. After a period of retirement under the rocks, its new shell hardens and the lobster is ready for normal activity again. "As soon as its claws have hardened enough so that it can use them again, the lobster begins to pick up pinches of sand from the bottom and drop them over its head. Over and over again it repeats this queer process, un- til it achieves some end that appears to be satisfactory. - "What is this thing the lobster is trying to do with grains of sand? "A dissection of the lobster's head shows that up in the region of its chief nerve centres there is a tiny cavity, communicating with the out- side water by a still tinier hole. In this cavity one ordinarily finds a few grains of sand. Only immediately af- ter the shell-shedding the sand grains are missing. The lining of the cavity is part of the shell, and is shed with the rest of the shell, taking the sand grains with it. The 'hair-sugaring' of the lobster is an effort, finally success- ful, to get sand grains back into this little pocket. "But why should a lobster want to have sand on the brain? "Scientists suspected that this little pocket, with the sand grains on its bottom, had something to do with the lobster's sense of equilibrium--with its knowledge of what is right-side-up and what is upsidedown. But they didn't know how to go about proving "Finally one of them hit upon a clever idea. He took a lobster that indigestion. It results in a "BACHELOR _ st for the "liane andi t Saginpl money | was about to shed its skin, and put it into a tank of water, Only instead of sand on the bottom, he strewed iron filings. The lobster picked up iron filings and put them into the cavity, just as though they were sand grains. "Then the scientist held a magnet , filings to the top instead of letting them rest on he bottom. Instantly the lobster turned upside down! He held the magnate to one side -f the lobster. The lobster again turned so that the underside otf its body was toward the magnet. Evidently the gliess was right, 'Down' for a lobster means the direction in which the sand grains press in his little head-pocket." sd mr "A bright person always stays at the head of the class if it's a mule that has class." ------------ "I put butter on the cat's feet as you suggested, but he's run away just the same."

A New Fashion Granted that there is an art In tea- making, but even taking freshly boiled water, good tea, and a warmed pot into consideration, some tea-tables still offer more fragrant tea than oth. ers. Good China tea js usually more fragrant than Indian tea, but a defl- nite fragrance is produced by blend: ing the two. Always allow the tea- leaves time to respond to the warm influence of the teapot before you pour the boiling water on to them. The thinly peeled rind of an orange left in the tea caddy will impart a delightful flavor to the tea. Orange and tea are a good combination in serving the tea, too. Most people have heard of Russian tea and appre- clate a slice of lemon In lieu of milk on a hot day, but not so many have tried a slice of orange In thelr tea with a squeeze of orange-juice as well, Try it.

Thus the mother must be on her guard. At the first sign of feverishness Baby's Own Tablets should be given--this may avert a serious illness.

Do you blush? If you are of the female sex, be thank- ful that you do, for it makes you far more attractive. At any rate, so says Louis Forest in Le Matin (Paris). We read: "I once wrote several articles on morbid hesitancy; after each one I re- ceived confidential letters from timid people, who told me their symptoms. The misfortune of lacking energy, and of being conscions of it, makes one still more timid by the ever-present knowledge of his timidity.
