ROYAL EPICURES. ionarelh Who Were Fnmon- For Their cillinnsry Learninge1P' Royalty in tiies past has had many an accomplished epleure an learnted in cillillary lor1 a1s inl the prallei of the cuisine. It was Ilenry do valos who brought Into fashlion aromatic sauces anit varios spice daintles, Inheriting his taste for cooking from Cdatherine de' Medlei, who Introduced into France not only lees, but much of the culinary art from Italy. Lou1is XIV. was devoted to gastron omy, and for his use liquors were in vented inl his old age, -when, it Is said, 11e could scarcely endure existence without at succession of artiltial stim I lanliltS. But the perthiacity with which Charles V. of Spain gratifled his appetito under all circumstances rival ed even that of Frederick the Great. ' Beforo rising In the morning potted capons Nwere usially served to him, prepared with sugar, milk and spices, Iced beer being one of his favorito - drik11. FISh, too, of every kind was to his tiaste, eels, frogs ad oysters occu pying a prominent plice In the royal 8 bill of fare. Frederiek the Great was fond of highly seasoned ments and had a strong predilection for ItaiilIn or French made1( dilshes.

Another epicul rean of the fir st order was t ho Polish1 King ~Stanislaus Lesz'inski, who invent e'd maniiy a neow (dish and4. vastly 1im p~rovedl the style of cooking, astonish ing thu Lorrainers, among other things, 1by haiving served up at his talie dishes of meat with fruits, both of which had b)een cooked toge'thier. Geeso0 whieh had1( been plucked when alive, then whipped to (death, and marninees were set dlown iln his bill1 of fare as foreign birds, and~ aifter a somewhat similar fashion turkeys were tranosformoed linto "coqs do bruyeres" and were served at the0 table buried unde1r the stron~g smlellinig herbs of LorraIne. One y'oar was remarkalie ror the enItire0 failure of thio fruit crop, but Stanilslaus woulid not be deprived of his dessert, for, turnIng his attentioni to conlfectionery, 110 Substitulted Cl copositions Of sugared vegetables, especially3 of tulrnips.-Lon dlon Standard.
