MUSCULAR MONARCHS.
Rulers who Have Been Famous TOT
Their PhNsIcnI Strength.


1t is astonishing what large num-
Der of kings and other rulers have been
famous for their physical strength. The
late car of Russia and the late German
emperor were both remarkable for their
strength of body. The latter, in fact,
thought sufficiently well OF his powers
tc oppose himself to a professional
strong man, who wrestled with and de-
feated the monarch with difficulty.
Augustus H.. elector of Saxony. was a
man of immense strength. lie once
seized n monk who had concealed him
self in the royal sleeping apartment by
the waist and flung him out of the WIN
dow into the courtyard beneath.
Maurice. count Of Saxony. natural
son of the above elector. was as noted
as his father for his feats of strength.
I. needs no small amount of strength
ia the fingers to enable one to twist a
long. thick nail into spiral. This
Maurice did and afterward used it as
corkscrew to open bottles of wine at
luncheon. At another time, while stop
p;rg at a farrier's to have his horses at
tended to, he broke half dozen of the
mans horseshoes by the strength OF his
hands like so many biscuits. That
Maurice was equally strong in other
Parts Of his body is shown by the fol-
lowing:
| While travelling on foot in London he
had an alteration with dustman
The dispute developed into n quarrel
| which the count terminated by Selling
his adversary by the head and throwing
him over his shoulder into the mud
cart, which was standing near.
It is related Of Dom Pedro l.. emperor
Of Brazil. that while out sailing In
small boat he suddenly seized hold o.
the two magniflcently dressed chamber
lains who accompanied him. lifted then
out Of the boat. one on each side, an<
ducked them In the sea. This was no
done out Of malice. but because IL wa
carnival time and practical joking wa
the order Of the day.
Scanderberg. king Of Albania. was
giant in strength. From an early ag'
hc was in the habit Of competing II
feats Of strength and skill with tn
Turkish mobiles and was almost Away
victorious. He once in a At Of rage Gu

enemies who were brought to hin

sword arm could cut in twain a man Il

down his throat. Then he threw his
head back and bit angrily at it, opening
his mouth wide and coming down on it
with all his might. During this lively
~ ocess the piece of gum fell out OF ms
mouth, and he lay down on the floor all
tired out, and looked at the denied little
wad in disgust.
lie is gritty little fellow, and he
made up his mind he would get the best
of that stuff, whatever it was. So he
soon got up, walked all around it as it
lay on the floor, shifting suspiciously,
and then bounced on it suddenly. OF
course, it stuck to his paw, and then
he was angrier than ever. He finally
succeeded in getting it off with has
teeth, and then he went at it again.
He barked loudly, running around 1t
and pushing it with his nose, but he
would not give up, and after many
trials he began to get the hang OF it
and to enjoy chewing K. The habit
has grown on him steadily, and now he
shifts around under the window-sills
and chairs, and If the small boy who
lives in the same house has left his
gum sticking around, he is sure to lose
it altogether. For Mike gnaws it off,
and putting his little stubby tail down
goes off to corner, and for an hour is
perfectly happy.-Chicago News.

QUEER VERMONT TOWN.
A Place where Nothing Has Ever
Happened.

A Place NncFe
Happened.
/. In Windsor county, VT, is about us
queer a town as there is in the United
States. Its name is Baltimore and 1t pos
sesses little of interest save a history in
which none of it's inhabitants expresses
the slightest pride. Baltimore is FAIRLY
old. as American towns 60. having been
set of from Cavendish and organized in
1893. It then had ELS presumably en-
bitious and hopeful inhabitants. but
every census taken since then has re-
vc aled steady growth-downwaru. In
1900 the place had lost one citizen, ana
the subsequent record stands as fol-
lowe: In 1870. 207 inhabitants; 1870
2o4; 1880, ITO; 1910, 1853; 1880, 1874; $780,
l16; 1870, 80; 1881, II, and 1890, 81. To-
day the number Is 50, and one OF the 81
snends his winters in the soldiers home
at Brattleboro.
Nothing ever happened in the town
not even a crime, and it has no distin'
quished sons or daughters. The houses
! are scattered over the territory in
cluded within Baltimore's limits, no
where forming anything like q village
and there is no store, no church, no posi-
Office. nor even a cider mill. The Peo
pie are prosperous enough as Vermont
farmers define prosperity. but they
keep moving away whenever opPor
tunity offers and nobody ever moves
in. It is 20 years since wedding TOOL
| place there.-Boston Transcript
