later periods Scripture has its Nebuchad-

he. well could be; also Saul, whose par
oSysms of passion that could only be sub
dued by the tuneful tones of David's harp,
can be attributed to nothing else than a
species Of madness. Five of the Cesars were
more or less insane. A Roman author de-
scribes Caligula as being "crazy in mind
and body" Nero was either mad or the
most atroclous monster in history, and Domi-
tian, by his desire for blood and other eccen-
tricities, must be considered "of." Diocle-
tian, Commodus and Heliogabalus were also
far from sane.
France has had Its mad Kings in Charles

for the General. The intrigues and many
little scandals with which his name has
been connected, have caused him to be al
most entirely obliterated from the list of
notables. So complete has been this move
ment, that he has found it necessary to in
form his friends that although extinct, he
is not yet buried" to use the phraseology of
Editor Stead. Nevertheless his following
is decidedly meager. and what there is of it
SO very much mixed in idea and design,
that the various individuals are shooting
not only hot words, but bullets at each other
to emphasize their several opinions.
The fact of the matter is, Franco is tired
of its idol of two years ago and "can" do
without him. To cap the climax, even his
wife wants to ''do without him." and has,
during the past week, applied for divorce.
It seems that at one time enthusiastic writers
set it forth that the General was an especial
favorite Of the ladies. 10 use the exact
words of one: "He is the especial hero of
feminine France, and he reciprocates to the
fullest extent the admiration of the ladies'"
Now right there Madam Boulanger drew
the line. She was content to have him the
hero of France; the idol of the military and
the admiration of the ladies; but, for him to
Madam B. was decidedly against
reciprocity" hence the divorce suit.
1t is almost safe to say that Boulanger,
with divorce affair in his skeleton closet;
a money scandal ON his hands and his few
friends "forninst" each other. is almost as
dead to the world of the present and future
as Rameses.

Confinement and Hard Work

Indoors. particularly In the sitting posture, are
far more prejudicial to health than excessive
muscular exertion in the open air. Hard
sedentary workers are far too weary after office
hours to take much needful exercise in the

can they seek invlgoration more certainly and

Where England Is Having Trouble,


The traveller in the Gulf of Alden at the
present time, who happens to pass point
on the coast situated about 100 north lati-
tude and 45o east longitude, will see q
bustling town of perhaps 20, 900 inhabitants,
all engaged in business of some kind or an
other. The principal articles of trade are
coffee, grains of different kinds, ghee, gold
dust, ivory, gums, cattle, ostrich feathers
and slaves, representing the interior prod
ucts, brought here to be bartered for cotton,
rice, iron, etc. Let the same traveller visit
the spot three months hence and he will see
huge piles of garbage and little more. Not
single human being or building will greet
his eye. This is the place or town which on
the maps bears the name of Berbera of
Somali Land. Itpresents the rather curious
phenomena of big thriving town for six
months of the year and a barren waste the
balance. Berbera, in fact, is nothing more
nor less than big fair ground, where the
natives Of the interior gather once year to
ticles mentioned.
1t is hardly necessary to inquire how the
native produce is accumulated, if we inform
ourselves as to the character of the people.
They are notorious for cheating, lying and
thieving. AT the present time the English
Government, which controls that territory, is
having great deal trouble with them, and
have been compelled to organize camel
corps of Indian soldiers, which will be
posted along the coast to follow these depre-
dators whenever they make their appearance
in the neighborhood of the settlements.

Napoleon's Retreat From Moscow,

Napoloon's Retreat From Moscow.
The extremely severe weather from which
Europe has been affi cted lately is abating.
In the meantime there is hardly any doubt
that the one or two survivors of Napoleon's
terrible Russian campaign of 1928 have
mad ample opportunity to compare notes.
The winter in question was hardly as severe
as dozen that could be mentioned in the
last century, but it is particularly notable
on account of the tremendous loss of life in
the retreat of the French army from Russia.
Under the circumstances short resume of
the part the weather had to do with the
disaster ought to be interesting here.
Winter set in early that season. The
French army began its retreat on the 18th
of November; Napoleon leaving the
Muscovlte empire on the day following.
On the 23d the evacuation Of Moscow was
complete, and the entire army was marching
toward Smolensk with the snow falling
heavily and steadily for number of DAYS
past. The Frenchman, Larry, tells us that
when the army started. a thermometer which
he carried registered 15o Fahrenheit. That
part commanded by Ney, escaped from the
Russian troops, by whom it was surrounded,
By crossing the Dneiper, which froze over
the night before they started. The day be-
fore, Russian troops with cannon had crossed
the Dwina upon the ice. The cold then
diminished and on the Oath it thawed, but
Immediately grew cold again, and from the
18th to 29th during the terrible passage of
the Berezina, the water contained numerous
blocks OF ice, but none of them sufficient to
suggest the possibility Of the troops crossing
over upon them. The Thermometer gradu-
ally fell until the Both, when it registered
13o Fahrenheit; on the 3rd of December it
stood at % and on the 9th 35, which was the
day after Napoleon issued the famous
Bulletin No 49," announcing the awful
disaster which had overtaken his forces.

1t is true that in name be is the sole arbi-
ter of affairs, both personal and general, on

soon sees that his personal safety will
be enhanced if he patronizes rather than
commands. Men who to-day become Indian
agents without first understanding that they
come into the position simply as q political
incident and not by reason of their uualifi-
cations, are ignorant indeed. But such men
are few. Your bright agent of to-day spends
very little time experimenting in philan-

main idea Is to get through each quarter,
draw his salary and begin a new quarter,
with just as little to do with the Indians
