A class of elementary schoolchildren in England, recently wrote an essay on "George V, King of England." /The efforts of tho children, who are all aoout ten years of ace, are printed in an English exchange. They make funny reading, as the following extracts show:— "Tho King has liver and bacon for Jiis breakfast, and he has his dinner at night, not like us. I think ha has veal and lamb and thick gravie, which is trimed with parsly andi is.ona silver dish; after that he has apple pie, strawberrys and ■ cream; after that he has forty winks before he gose to the theater." "If tho King invited me to tea I should expect to see all kinds of confectionery and jam, peaches, proons, and all kinds of frute, but there issnnithing I should not like and that ia cucumber and onions." "If ho invited mc to diner I should expect to s;o a lew of muton and onion sause and haricot beans and potatoes and greens they aro all what I like. The breakfast and super the same as tho tea and there is currant cake barm loaf and plnm and plain cake." . "In the morning the King goes walks up and down his garden path till his meals come again. . Sumtimes he passes his time away sitting on his throne reading. , Ho has some children who docs not go to Sunday school s-V ho spends his time singing hymns in tho afternoon with them." "Tho King ride 3 about in a gold carriageevery day and sleeps in a golden lied. Ho wears a satin suit, jewels as well, and has velvet shoso with silk flowers on them and gold brade.
