All the flies in the iollect about her house and stay there the on through. 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. ”— The Comhill.
