Norwegians arc much concerned timtKW which welcomed iMg f'T Ha* kon to Christiania. A newspaper thus describes it: “At the very time when the royal procession had to thfi ;mcicnt fortreag n f Akcrhus wa8 assembled there a great numher ^ 8 pec t a tors, mostly mill¬ ^ Jn &rder to soc the new king drive past, While the spectator# waiting to see the king in great excitcn^nt% jingling sound crOTvned was hoilrd > the statue King Oscar fell to the ground. At 'the .same foment the crown fel1 off and was cr,lsllud in the fall. Dor a moment every one present ^ felt a little uncomfortable witnegaiHg the inc ident, but it ^ immediately forgotten in watch ing t p e royal procession. A few days later “some member of the same company were assembled in another part of the town in the house of one of the leaders of the government. The conversation turn ed on the strange incident of the statue. In the midst of the con versation a scraping sound was heard, and the portrait of King Os car glided dow-n from the wall and fell to^he ground.” Her Luncheon Decorations, At a luncheon given recently m a city some miles from New Wk by a woman of prominence the decora tive scheme of the table arrange ment consisted mainly of a large centerpiece >n the form of a basket filled w-ith the most realistic of arti> Sci.l blos.o™, ribbon bowed to match, and miniature baskets on the same order in front of the dif ferent places, with ribbons extend in" to the central basket. When the guests departed, without anv euggestion from the hostess, each walked off with a little ribbon trim taed basket, supposing it the was a sou venir. It wasn't, for caterer considered the collection of baskets his decorative masterpiece and had counted on utilizing them at lesser affairs during the rest of the sea son. The hostess footed a substan tial addition to tha estimated bill, and at her next luncheon the deco rations will not be eo tempting nor 6 o easy to carry off. — Brooklyn Eagle. _ as IMMENSITY OF THE HEAVENS i ■ ~ H Ps#p f nto Imafli^'ation. fipai-vt That Daztlo t*i» , 0 If our pun; were removed to pic it vvolild hardly be^visible ah’Opera glass, with which nearly stars can be seen in the cluster. or seventy Pleiades surpass sun in brilliancy, Alcyone, being 1,000 times more brilliant, Klcctra 500 limes and Main nearly “Sirius itself takes n subordi¬ rank when compared with the most brilliant members of a the real magnificence of we can thus in some degree If we seek to know dimensions, not of the individual but of the cluster itself, wo met with many difficulties, but the assumption that it is approxi¬ spherical in shape wo can its diameter to be over miles, so that from light take seven years to pass one extreme to the other.
