Norway's New King as Naval nMiddy"

FROM Review or Reviews.
1t was my fortune to make the
princes acquaintance when he vas an
apprentice in the Danish navy. / was
a midshipman at the time, and just one
notch higher rank. We We're thrown a
good deal together on various ships,
and I believe it is this rough-and-ready
training in seamanShip at an carly age
which contributed strongly toward
making q man out of the prince, who
as q boy vas very much like what mid
dies call a piece of furniture"
There We're seven apprentices in the
mess to which the prince belonged on
shipboard, and of which l was the
eighth and mess master. We all called
him by his eighth name-that is, Karl
in D~anish-and he a to eat the same
grub" n stand the same h~ardships
as all the other apprentices. He was al
lowed to have no advantages or Tex
tras" over and above his comrades, and
although everybody knows him to be a
prince of the realm, no Difference what
ever was paid him as such. On the,
contrary, he was "haZed" and made
miserable in good, old midshipman
style. He took his medicine bravely
enough, though there were times when,
by his looks, he must have wished for
home and mother" or that he was
ashore, where he, as a prince of the
realm, would have a right to command

f1cer in the fleet! ;
On board ship he had to mend his,
own clothes, darn his socks, sew on but-i
tons, and keep his weapons and ac-
coutrements in order. He slept in q
| regulation sailor hammock, with his
clothes, rolled up under his head, for a
pillow, without a n.ghtshirt, and wear
ing only q sailors WOODEN striped I'M

blanket, sometimes with his sea bootsS
dangling by the hammock rope. AS,
an apprentice, one Of his duties in
cleaning ship early at dawn was to pass
buckets of salt water n go over the
quarterback with a huge ~sage-brooml
When polishing would begin he was as
signed to the big pinnacle lantern on,
the bridge, inside which the compass is.
He became quite an expert at polishlngt
and used to make that brass pinnacle
fash like silver mail. He could never,
quite get used to chewing tobacco,
which in the eyes of every true appren-
tice is one of the cardinal virtues; and
whenever he was seasick, Which often
happened, he used to sit in the gang
way on q bucket%and chew rye bread.
This close intimacy with boys of his
own age, n subsequently when he
was appointed midshipman and cadet,
his contact with manly naval men and
J real human conditions of life, are the
factors which eventually made out OF
this boy-Who was originally little more
than a court kid''-one of the most
real and natural living royal princes. 1t
opened his eyes to the forces and X
gencies that govern real life. 1t substl-
tuted Within him for the lassitude of
the courtier the ambition Of the healthy
young man of action.

seeker after knowledge, n above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham.
o builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in u physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained a on
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs. their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature 50
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eE-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rar combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liarto the female sex, and Lydia Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estateinterests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centcn
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
Of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia r. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.

either, but has been a great coffee
drinker and the specialists have decid-

this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
of coffee for breakfast two at noon
and n at night. According to the
records Of the specialists OF this cour-

The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
