4 TXrant and . Terrec.

It has been said the life Of Frederick
the Great as q boy under his father,
Frederick l., first king Of Prussia, was
worse than that Of Oliver Twist or
Smike at Dotheboys Hall. The old
king was a tyrant Of the worst de-
scription, and his own family expert
enced him at his worst. Frederick as
boy received instruction in music
and Freuch from refugees in Berlin,
but when the king learned Of 1t he
stopped the music peremptorily.
The lad had little liking for nilitary
pursuits. His father suspected his son
Of >heresv without having any clear
idea of what his own theology really
was. Once In rage the king almost
strangled his son with & window cord,
aed at length matters We're brought to
a@ris;s by the prince running away.
It was only through diplomatic inter
yention that FreGerick's life was
spared, for be was !, soldier. and he

fathers eyes this was heinous OF

was associated with the prince in his

Advice TO the Trustee.

In handling other peoples money
the principal must be kept intact. #,
as q trustee, those to whom you are
responsible insist upon an income
which you in your heart know cannot
be obta;aed without taking some slight
chance, give up the trust without hesl-
tation, says Worlds Work. There is
no more bitter experience through
which an honest trustee or executor
can pass than the rendering Of an ac-
counting for :, lost or depleted trust
No reason or excuse can weigh for an
instant against the actual result which
he faces. A single slip in the handling
of funds like this may doom all future
generations of that family to lives OF
poverty. This is the greatest response
bility ever laid upon a trustee, an ex-
ecutor, banker or an adviser, and no
honest nan should assume 1t unless
he IS prepared to endure for the sake
of the future ali the criticism that may
center upon him on account OF ex-
tra,nn conservatism In the present

Eano.s Pcs.aoa Stamps.

Bad money and spurious Ganknotes
are as common as sparrows. but fo:@-
ed postage stamps are seldom heard
Of. The most giaring case CT stamp
forgery II Great Britain occurred in
1872 and 1878. and its origin has never
been discovered. n those days the
minimum rate for te!egraphic mes
sages was ! shilling. and the stamps
that were forged were all for such
amount, each being passed through
the Stock Exchange teleg'aphic Office.
One OF the principal reasons against
postage stamp forgery is the keenness
Of philatehsts. The vigilance Of the
collector would speedily bring 10 light
the existence Of any faulty stamps
Of the many thousands Of varieties Of
stamps issued, only about 100 are
known to have been forged. and these
specimens have usually been SkillfullT
faxed more with the object of trap

we'll as those on the seal Of the presi-
dent, are Eve pointed The seal OF the
house Of representatives, however,
shows six pointed stars, and there are
six pointed stars on the diverse Of the

FIVE pointed stars on the reverse. The

great seal, with the clouds and the
stars omitted. So far as can be as

rived from the colonial coins, which
were designed in the manner Of Eng
lish heraldry, which sanctions that
star. The stars on the flag are copied
from the Washington coat Of arms
