4 Frederick of Prussia had a
great mania for enlisting gigan-
tic soldiers into the royal guards,
and paid an enormous bounty to
his recruiting officers for getting
them, relates Judges Magazine.
One day the recruiting sergeant
chanced to espy Hibernian who
was at least seven feet high He
accosted him in English and pro
posed that he should enlist. The
idea Of military life and large
bounty so delighted Patrick that
he at once consented.
"8ut unless you can speak Ger
man, the king will not give you so
much"
"Oh, be jabbers," said the Irish
man; "sure it's ! that don't know
a word of German"
"But," said the sergeant, "and
these you can learn in a short
time. The king knows every man
in the guards. AS soon as he
sees you he will ride up and ask
you how old you are; you will say,
'27;;' next how long you have been
in the service; you must reply,

CAUSE OF THE EARTHQUAKE

With the scene Of death before our eyes, already
we are inquirng, .what the cause of the dread

suvius has lead many to think that Vesrvius is in
some sense responsible for the San Francisco disaster
and yet according to the scientists view there was
no connection between the two disasters.

the cause Of the earthquake:

through years and centuries Deeply buried beneath

movement may be So great as to result in the dis
