A gentleman writes from Albany to say
that there is in that city a 7-year-old
Albert Blum by name, and a match peddler
by occupation, who can multiply “two num¬
bers not to exceed 2,(XX) in his head and give
the correct answer.” This gentleman “saw
Albert multiply 1,227 by 438.”
A traveler at Lake Lucerne recently, at the
same moment, heard an opera troupe re*
hearsing “Mignon” at the Kursaal; an en¬
thusiastic Puritan lady leading a Moody and
Sankyhymu; an evangelical divine pouring
forth a sermon at the Sehweitzerhof; the or
singers indulging in a comic song from a row*
boat on the blue and glassy lake.
Swedish Social Etiquette.
All through Sweden social intercourse is en
cumbered with much ceremonious etiquette,
particularly among the landed gentry. The
three Scandinavian tougues employ the two
personal pronouns “thou” and “you,” the first
familiarly, the second when speaking to a
mere acquaintance. But a well bred Swedish
gentleman addressing a stranger will always,
with old fashioned courtesy, substitute the
equivalent for “Monsieur,” regardless of har¬
rowing repetitions, and where a title is de¬
manded, even under the difficulties of rapid
speech, it is never for a moment omitted. As
such politeness, however, in the end becomes
both monotonous and wearisome, they have
a practical way of cutting the Gordian knot.
When a casual acquaintanceship has ripened
into genial sympathy or mutual respect, your
Swedish friend at once proposes “a brother¬
hood.” This is a distinct social ordeal, the
initiation to which demands a special rite.
The man who has requested the honor of be¬
coming your brother provides you with a
glass of wine filled to the brim, he himself
holding another; both rise, each linking the
right arm of each; looking one another boldly
in the eyes and pronouncing tfee words: “Skal
brorl” the beakers are emptied. Hence you
are expected to use the pronoun “thou,” and
you take your stand on the footing of
relationship. Among the reminiscences of
this visit to Vermland is an evening w hen I
acquired no less than six new and stalwart
brothere. On the subject of ancienne polit
esse, I should mention, by the way, that there
is a well known Swedish gentleman who al¬
ways gives precedence to his own son, because
“he has one ancestor more than his father. ”—
