A German Journalists Queer idea,

The following paragraphs are summa-
rizod from recent issue of the Frankfurter
Zeitung:
THE late Professor Froude held that
the succession To the English crown lies
with the eldest child of the sovereign, not
the eldest son; consequently that the heir
To our gracious queen is not the Prince OF
Wales but the Empress Frederick. The
Empress Frederick II reported to have said
that. should she succeed to the throne Of
England, she would make Prince Henry
her heir The emperor, who was also
made acquainted with Professor Froude's
discovery. intimatcd that If what was put
forward was true i'm its entirety the Eng
lish succession should go from eldest child
To eldest child, which in this case would
be himself and that he certainly would
not waive his rights. Germans are now
interpreting to each other speech of their
emperor's that lately puzzled them-a
speech i'm which he said the German army
and the German fleet would pass beyond
the ocean. He was thinking, say his
commentators, of the time when England
will be an appanago of Germany"
The article says that in England the
partisans of Professor Froude's opinion are
Lord Lonsdale, Lord Methuen and Mr..
Stead, and that there was for some time
every disposition to keep the notion secret,
but that now that Mr.. Stead knows 1t The
Review of Reviews will proclaim this
novel view of the succession.

Frankfurter was a comic journal West

after this detail of home life, but 1t is,
after all, the details which go to make up
the total OF home comfort. and what more

than ones very own VJio, as the
French children say?
Nothing Is more delicious than to creep

fragrant from clean water and oxygen
How restful TO place the weary head on

how comfortable IL Is to draw around one
bedclothes that are satisfactory, not too
thick in one place and entirely untuclSed
in another.
Out of 100 housemaids 90 will throw
the bedclothes down over the foot of the
bed, then throw them up again in few
minutes. This should never be permitted.
Every article should be taken off and laid
separately over a chair and strong cur
rent of air should be allowed to circulate
through the room before the clothes are
replaced. The mattress should be turned

The new fashion Of steel chain springs
Is great improvement over the heavy old
style spring which, when once taken up
stairs, was bound to remain there a long
time. The careful housewife will cover
the springs Of her beds with linen, so that
it may be taken off and washed. This
saves the mattress all chance of rust marks
from the metal. Clean newspapers will
answer the same purpose.
1t Is only the hardest sleepers who can
enjoy their slumbers when, by scanty

worse, especially where the barbarous GUS
tom of sleeping two in a bed holds good
One drags the clothes one way, the other
exhausts strength in clinging to them for
dear life and neither Is comfortable.
A simple remedy for this discomfort Is
to place one blanket lengthwise across the
bed. In this way there Is double ad-
vantage-less weight on the shoulders and
plenty of chance for firm tucking up.
Good housemaids are quite liable, in plac-
ing three blankets on bed, to turn down
great piece, giving you six on your
shoulders and not one sufficiently tucked
in on the sides.
A restless child might be prevented
from many cold if blankets were placed

A BLOOD RED LAKE.
Popularity Manifested by Sheet of Wa
ter In Switzerland Periodically.


Lake Morat, in Switzerland, has a queer
habit of turning red about two or three
times every ten years. 1t is pretty lake,
like most of the sheets of water in that
picturesque country, and its peculiar freak
is attributed to "a disposition to celebrate
the slaughter of the Burgundians under
Charles the Bold on June 81, 1476. But
the French say that it bushes for the con-
duct of the Swiss, who in that battle gave
the Burgundians no quarter.
This phenomenon, of course, has its
legend The old fishermen of the lake,
who catch enormous fish called silures,
that weigh between % and 40 Kilograms,
say when they sec the waters of the lake
reddening that it is the blood of the Bur
gundians. AS a matter of fact, some of
the bodies of the Burgundians killed In
the battle were thrown into the lake,
while others were tossed into IL grave filled
with quicklime. This historical recollec-
ton angered the Burgundian soldiers of
the victorious armies of the republic In
1898 SO much that they destroyed the
monument raised in honor of their com
patriots who fell heroically in that battle,
and Henri Martin very justly reproached
them for that piece of vandalism.
1t would hardly do to attribute the red
dening of tho waters of the lake to the
blood of the soldiers of Charles the Bold.
The coloring is due simply to the presence
in large quantities of little aquatic plants
called by naturalists oscillatoria rubescens
The curious thing about it is that Lake
Morat is the only lake in which this curl
Gus growth is developed, and this peculiar
ity is beginning to interest scientific men.

Human Pedigrees.

The effect of pedigree is a great puzzle,
because careful attention to it seems to re-
fine some families without in the least re-
filming others. A dozen castles in India are
equally old and careful of descent, yet only
the Brahmins and Kshetreyas are clearly
aristocrats, but if there is any truth in
heredity the descendants of the reigning
houses, once compelled TO exert them
selves, should be men and women of spe-
cial force Those houses have kept at the
top of the world for nearly 1000 years.
The objection that they have intermarried
too much, even if it is true which Is
doubtful, except where some faint has en-
tered the blood, would disappear in two
generations of plebeian marriages, and the
consciousness of ancestry does not of ne
cessity weaken character. We doubt IL
the popos have as body, been ADLER men
than the Hohcnzollerns, and the popes
have been the picked men of priesthood
counting thousands and have had as many
opportunities of action and of displaying
themselves as any line of kings. -London

Abraham Lincoln's Substitute.

During the earlier days of the war II
seems to have been the desire of all promi-
nent men in Washington to have repre-
sentative i'm the ranks, and Lincoln was no
exception to the rule. At that time there
was minister named Staples In Washing
ton, one of whose sons, then aged 10, had
desire to go to the front Lincoln heard
of him, and, after conference, selected
him as his representative, and he proved
worthy, for he won honor on the field.
He survived the war, and finally died in
Stroudsburg, Pa. The inscription on the
stone over his grave reads as follows:
j. Summerileld Staples, n private of
Company g, 10th Regiment, p. "; also
member of the Second Regiment, ID. Q.

Lincoln. -Philadelphia Ledger.

Nor dreamed in what lines of beauty
They each should be hewn some day.
Thus, all through the realm Of nature
And writ on history's page,
The silent are the strong workers.
We find II in ev'ry age.
And we must study the lesson,
In trial and discipline,
That each, by silent endurance,
The truest blessing may win.
And silent prayer that the Christ love
Our spirits and hearts may I'LL
Is the one sure way of subduing
Our faults of temper and will.
In silence our Saviour suffered
When He was so sorely tried,

And humbly follow our Guide.

To trust In the love OF God
And to praise Him, though we suffer
Beneath the chast 'ning rod.

GODFREY'S TANkARD.
"A Seventeenth Century Relic of the Fire
and Plague In London.

A curious historical relic was sold by
auction recently in London. 1t is the large
tankard of solid silver presented by King
Charles III To Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey
for his valuable services during the plague
and the fire of London, for which he re-
ceived the honor of knighthood in 1866.
The tankard, which is of plain silver, has
hinged cover and weighs nearly SO
ounces It's front is engraved with the
royal arms and the crest of the recipient,
together with inscriptions in Latin and
engravings of scenes connected with the
fire, which are still in excellent prosorva-
ton. The engraving of the pesthouse men
carrying corpses to the dismal plague pit
and that of the crowded blocks of houses
surmounted by flames arc very quaint
and curious. Sir Edmund, who was born
in 1921 at Sellinge, in Kent, was timber
merchant, possessing wharfs at Dowgate
city and at Charing Cross. He prospered,
became justice of the peace for Westmin-
ster and member Of parliament for Win
chisea. In history, as no reader of Ma
caulay and Green will need TO be told, his
name is most famous in connection with
his mysterious murder, which was popu-
larly attributed TO the zeal with which he
had devoted himself to unraveling the al
legged popish plot. His body was found in
a ditch near Primrose hill, face downward
and penetrated by his own sword, under
circumstances which precluded the idea of
suicide or robbery.
The excitement caused ny this still mys-
terious event is indicated by tho fact that
when the funeral procession left the city,
with great pomp and pageant, for the
burial ground of st. Martin 's-in-the-
Fields, it was preceded by 40 clergy and
followed by upward of 1000 persons OF
distinction Boston Herald.

what He Knows Is Not Best.

One of the things for which we ought
to be most grateful is that God will not
give us what He knows is not best for
us, even if we ask for it over and over
again. And one prayer that we can al
ways pray in all sincerity and faith is
that God will refuse to give us what is
not good when we do ask for it.-Sun-
