  CABBAGE, n.  A familiar kitchen-garden vegetable about as large and
  wise as a man's head.
      The cabbage is so called from Cabagius, a prince who on ascending
  the throne issued a decree appointing a High Council of Empire
  consisting of the members of his predecessor's Ministry and the
  cabbages in the royal garden.  When any of his Majesty's measures of
  state policy miscarried conspicuously it was gravely announced that
  several members of the High Council had been beheaded, and his
  murmuring subjects were appeased.
