Laid out in the form of a huge
square, the center is planted with
shrubs and flowers, and here the
poorer classes are buried, each grave
being marked with a small stone and
lantern of fanciful design hanging
at either end. In the lofty corridors
of marble which extend around the en-
tire square are the tombs and monu-
ments of the wealthy and noble of
Genoa
The corridors are about Is feet in
width and are lined on either side
with groups of statuary, all of which
are of life size, and the majority of
which are faithful portraits of those
whom they commemorate. Very curl
Gus to foreign eyes do the figures look
in their faithfully reproduced dresses
of long ago. Here one may see the
chignons of the sixties, boys in sailor
suits and men in frock coats.
Many of the figures and groups are
very beautiful and the work is ex-
ecuted with much delicacy of express
sion. So natural and lifelike are some
of the figures that, were it not for the
fact that they are all startlingly white,
one might easily mistake them at a
short distance for living persons.

QUICK REMEDIES FOR cRAMP.
Not Hard to Get Relief From This
Painful Affliction. =.

Do your little growing folks wake
up in the night with cramp in their
toes or legs? If so, tell them to slide
down to the foot of the bed and press
their toes hard against the footboard.
This seldom fails to bring relief. Even
the tiniest tot can do this for herself
when she wakes up in alarm at the
big pain in her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when the cramp is DIP by the knee, it
is not efficient, tell the sufferer to
press the sole of her cramped foot
against the instep of the other. Press
good and hard, and the pressure, to-
gether with the warmth and electric
ity drawn from the well foot, will GER
tainly bring relief unless the case is
very stubborn. To treat the knot
ty," stubborn kind of cramp, which
sometimes seizes the little folks when
they are nervous, or if they have
eaten something which does not agree
with them, to tie a broad band (fa-
theirs handkerchief, folded, will an
swer,) tightly above the cramped part.
Rubbing, unless one knows just how
to manipulate the muscle, often does
more harm than good. The doctors
tell us that cramp of this kind is as
much nervous as muscular trouble.
If your children suffer frequently
with it, a good warm bath with an
alcohol rub at night is a good pre-
ventive. B. N.

Point to Invasion.

Point to Invasion.
''It is our hope that the practical
common sense Of the Americans will
provide for this danger as soou as
they fully realize it-a danger which
can only be compared to that which
threatened western Europe at the
hand of the crescent.
CAS- an adequa+o protection against
invasion by foreign power, the
union, up to within a short time. has
made little provision. 1t was not con-.
sidered necessary, for it has been, and
is now, a popular delusiop, in fact,
by-word, on that side of the ocean,
that the geographical position oY the
United States protects it against any,
attempt to land troops, and even in
the event of a successful landing. that.
no enemy would dare to take chances
with the 100000 citizens of the
union available in time of war. 1t is
only recently, however, that military
critics there have dared to express
doubt, and, as will be shown, with
good reason, concerning the correct
ness of those deductions. To oppose
a Japanese invading army in Califor-
MIA the coast Notifications, in cooperaI
ton with the fleet, would have to be
depended upon, and, considering the
long stretch of coast line, would be in
sufficient. Notifications are to be
found in the vicinity of the larger
cities or good harbors, but these pro-
vide for a bombardment seward.
Should a hostile fleet once obtain a
landing for troops at an unprotected
point, and such points are numerous
along the extensive coast line, the
coast Notifications could be easily at
tackled from the rear and would in a
short time be at the mercy of the
enemy"

of the enemy by making bonfire of
them; and it was said that he threw
Frederick's sword into the flames.
This statement was confirmed as
late as 1857 by an eyewitness. Thus
perished-as was attested in 1880,
when an official inquiry was made into
the matter-between $500 and 1000
war flags and other memorials of VIC
tory. The ashes and remains were
thrown into the Seine, at the mouth
of the sewer.
The sword could not, of course, have
been destroyed in the conflagration,
but it was never seen again. 1t hap
pened that in 1916 an engineer, hav-
ing ascertained the precise spot where
the debris from the fire had been put
into the river, made a search and re-
covered from the bottom a consider
able number of bronze and copper arti-
Cles which were returned to the In
yalides. But the sword of Frederick
was not found.
One would like to think that it was
not the fate of this historic weapon to
rust away in foul mud, but that it had
undergone the noble transformation
of being turned into some implement
of peaceful industry.

Tomb of Rich Are in Lofty Corridors
Surrounding Square.

Few strangers, whether for business
or pleasure, who come within easy
distance of Genoa, fail to spend at
least day, says writer in Leslie's
Weekly, in the city of hills, in order
to visit this famous Campo Santo,
which, as burial place, has no equal
in the world.
The peculiar arrangement, the rich
ness of the monuments and the we'll
disposed shrubbery give one the i'm
preston of an artistic garden rather
than a cemetery, for there is little to
suggest the later as it is suggested in
the modern cemeteries in our country.
Truly it is a wonderful sight, with
its great colonnades and its groups of
statuary, and even if one has not the
morbid curiosity of many who find it
pleasurahle to inspect the burial
places Of large cities he may profit
ably spend an hour or two in this SOL
emn precinct, where sculptors, prin-
cipally natives of Genoa, have works
which would make anyone famous.

There are" says the observer,
many indications that in the event

SWORD OF FREDERICK GONE.

Singular Disappearance.

May II was the centenary of re-
markable incident in the relations be-

While that kingdom was at his feet,
after the battle of Jena, Bonaparte
visited Potsdam and there he saw the

of Prussia" 1t was deposited at the
Invalides on May II, 1907, with mill

But there came the black days of
1914, and, with the allies on the point
of entering the French capital, the
governor of the Invalides, Marshal
Surrurier, received orders to take
steps for the preservation of the
precious trophies there collected
especially the sword of Frederick the
Great Interpreting this instruction
in a peculiar fashion, the governor
took effective measures for prevent
