FREDERICK AND va ARE
Stormy Relations Of the Miserly klnS
.5ss and the Lavish Author.

/ Stormy Relations Of the Missrly klno
and the Lavish Author.
The world knows plenty about Tho
elements Of strength In the characters
Of great men. but less about their
weaknesses. Here Is story that
shows the other side Of the natures OF
Frederick the Great and voltaire::
Frederick the Great had leaning
toward literature. He wrote poems,
plays and booklets that, in his opin-
Ion, possessed rare merit. So It,
seemed fitting to him that great liter.
lry men should fraternize, and he sent
IN invitation to Voltaire to be his
guest. Accompanying the invitation
was sum of money to defray tho
great Frenchman's travelling expenses
10 the Prussian capital
Let 1t be explained at this point that
Frederick was extremely penuriousi
and that Voltaire was not only e1-.
travagant, but had many of the char.
lcteristics Of what we would now call
CRATER. It should also be under.
Jteod that Frederick despised graft
ing. and voltaire abhorred miserli-
ness.
voltaire accepted the invitation-and
then had an afterthought. Why not
take favorite niece with him2 So
he wrote to the king that If he would
send an extra thousand louis he would
bring the girl.
..Sir." replied the king. 81 did not
ask the young lady to do me the honor
OF visiting me. and shall send moth
ing to pay her expenses
1.-THE old miserr' said voltaire to
friend. "He has tubs of money In his
treasury, yet will not grant me this
wish.''
However. voltaire went to Berlin, but
each found that he hated the other too
much to make their friendship perma-
nent.
The king once gave voltaire a pack.
age Of poems to revise. 81
"See," said Voltaire to a German no.
bleman, what quantity of dirty
linen Frederick has sent me to washv'
The king thought his guest was too
tree with the chocolate and sugar and
gave orders that he be put on q re-
stricted daily allowance.
voltaire retaliated BY gathering all
the wax candles he could find In the
halls and storing them in his trunk.
Soon the royal palace became too hot
for him, and he began to pack up.
Then Frederick missed his package Of
poems. At once he scented plot. VOL
aire intended to take the verses back
home with him and palm them of as
his own. Lord Macaulay has said that
the poems were so bad that he was
convinced Voltaire would not for half
Of Frederick's kingdom have consent
ed to. father them. But the king
thought differently. being the. author
Of the poems.
So the Prussian monarch had VOL
taire thrown into jail at Frankfort and |
kept him locked up for twelve days.
Sixteen hundred dollars that was
found in his pocket was taken awayf
from him. The king in the days Of
their friendship had given voltaire a |
life pension o. $500 year, and the
money that was confscated was al
semiannual installment.
Thus ended their friendshap.-Scrap

Peter the Great, car Of Russia, pun

q way that the numerous victims OF
the present cars wrath might well

Ma1eppa, chieftain Of the Cossacks,
had deserted to the king Of Sweden,
with whom Peter was at war. Ma
zeppa was at once tried by court mar
tial and found guilty Of high treason
Sentence Of death was passed upon
him. 80.
Mazeppa, however, was safely in the
camp of the Swedish king, but this
tact was not permitted to stand in the
way Of the carrying out of every part
Of the sentence. A wooden efhgy OF
Mazeppa was made, and the punish
ments were inflicted upon the Cossack
chieftain's substitute. ~
The efngy was first dressed in Ma
zeppa's uniform. and upon its breast
were pinned all Of the medals, ribbons
and other decorations that the real cul
prtt had worn.
While the commanding general and
squadron of cavalry stood near an
officer advanced to the wooden man
and read the sentence. Then anothe,

Suggestions as to Diet.

From the Housekeeper.
A half century ago the majority of
people could eat more in cold weather
than in warm because they worked out
Of doors in a low temperature environ
ment where they eliminated heat rapidly
and expended a great deal Of energy as
| we'll as to wear out and rapidly rebuild
| the tissues of the body. Today the ma
jority work at sedentary employments in
doors in an artificial warm season atmos-
phere full of all forms of impurities.
AS the amount of food taken should be
regulated by the quantity expended and
the expenditure Of the majority of people
| than in winter, 1t is a logical conclusion
that no food increase is required for the
winter in the case Of sedentary warm
atmosphere indoor workers. Others who
| in the winter need a less full, palmer
dietary than when taking vigorous out
of-door exercise. The common acute
| winter infectious disorders. especially
pneumonia. grip. bronchitis. colds. tonsi-
lftis and other pulmonary disorders are
all increasing in prevalence and severity.
These disorders are. most Of them, due
to infection. This infection cannot -four
ish without a soil that will nourish the
germs and promote their growth, and
due to retained wastes furnish easy
victims for winter disorder infection.
Over feeding and indigestion predispose
to cold taking and bronchitis or pneu-
monia. good rule for both warm and
cold weather is to eat for strength, as the
wise man says, not for pleasure or drunk
| enness. And always keep the intake of
nutrition to correspond with the output
Of wastes. The alternating animals do
not eat for the time they are resting. In
winter all wild beasts have scanty food
supply. man alone being the surfeiting
cold weather animal. So he forfeits his
privilege of meeting the warm season
heat-depressing influences with clean
vigorous body. fortified by the tonic ef-
fects of winters bracing cold

Chivalry and the Girl.

The stock DOGGY which has invariably
been trotted out to discourage every effort
to free women from the disabilities i'm
posed by earlier civilization is the threat
ened loss of the chivalrous regard of men.
But the modern woman long ago realized
that the chivalry referred to Is a senti-
ment which does not take into account
the changes In social life and economies
that have made it impossible for girls to
remain in the shelter of their homes to
anything like the extent they did even SO
recently as q quarter OF a century aoo
This out-worn chivalry may regard with
horror the suggestion of a young girl be-
coming factory operative. but, alas. the
ter have compelled many thousands OF
them all over the world to take up fac
tory life, and what is now required Is q
chfvairy that shall fit its manifesto tons
