one hundred and sixty,two years since

century, the crown prince, who after
wards became King Frederick H., who
was condemned by court-martial to dis
missal from the army for flying the
country.
The king. the Brutus of modern
times, thought thecourt-martial should
have regarded the fight as desertion.
lie had his son arrested and condemned
to death Thanks to numerous appeals
the unfortunate prince was not ex-
ecuted, but he was shut up in the
fortress of Kastein, where he remained
fifteen years. Restored to favor, he
was. raised to the rank of colonel, but
since that time the Prussian princes
have passed from the rank of major TO

A Wonderful Paddock.

In curious old book entitled 'sThe
Wonde rs and Curiosities of London"
there are the following particulars con-
corning minute paddock: In the TWEEN
tieth year of the reign of Queen Eliza
beth. Mark Scarlet, blacksmith,
made a lock consisting of eleven (11)
pieces of steel, iron and brass, all of
which, together with the key, weighed
but small fraction over one grain. He
also made q chain of gold, consisting of
forty-threc links, which, after fastening
it to the lock and key above mentioned.
he put around the neck of o common
flea, the whole being so minute that the
little insect could draw them over
silver plate with perfect case. All of
these together, lock. key, chain and
flea, weighed slight fraction less than
two and half grains.
HANDICAPPED BY HIS NAME.
A Business Man Who Changed HIS Name
Won Success by the Alteration.
A certain business man in this city
has good reason to believe that there is
something in name, says the New
York Times. For many years he en-
gagged in business pursuits here under q
name derived from his father. The
name was an honest one, but not par
ticularly cuphonious, and its bearer
found, after Eluch energetic toll in sew
.c-al fields Of industry, that it was bar
rem Of tali:manic influence in business.
Although man Of fine presence, good
manners industrious habits and per-
scnal honesty, this gentleman was un-
able to win success. He tried venture
after venture, with fair prospects in
each case at the outset, but failure came
with disheartening promptness. Ills
peculiar name on a business card or APP
pended to letter never seemed to have
any weight in business circles. After a
great many vicissitudes he reluctantly
came to the conclusion that it ives his
name which brought him bad luck.
lie resolved to try the effect of q
change. and with the permission of the
Legislature he simply reversed his
name For the sake of illustration.
supposing it was Abel Smith, he OBJ
tanned the legal right to change it to
Smith Abel. The effect of the change
was magical. The hitherto Elusive sue.
cess wooed the new name assiduous1y.
Enterprises that had fallen nat before
became popular and prosperous. Old
debts were speedily paid and new
bank account grew to very healthy pro-
portions. The gentleman grew rich
steadily and his nan is now on the list
of the solid men of New York
