Frederick the Great,

On the seventeenth of August, 1856,
died the most remarkable sovereign
Prussia has yet produced. Carlyle de-
Scribes him as king without the hap
penings; no crown but an old military
hat and not godIike in physiognomy ;
clOse-shut mouth with thin lips, promi-
nent jaws, with a head Of long form
His face bore the evidence of many
Sorrows and much hard labor, and
seemed to anticipate nothing but much
more to come; a snuffy nose rather
flung into the air under its old cooked
hat-Iike an old snuffy lion on the
watchi and a pair of eyes as no man,
Hon or lynx of that century bore. He
presented himself in Spartan simplici-
ty. This was Frederick II at home ;
among the common people who loved
him, he was Father Fred--a name of
familiarity which had not bred CON
tempt in that instance. This portrait
strongly reminds one Of Kaiser Will
helm-because it is SO Numerically
opposite.

One Calotab at bed time with a
swallow of water-that's all. No salts,
no nausea, nor the slightest interior
ence with eating, work or pleasure.
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system puri-
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
hne with hearty appetite for break
fast. Perhaps you can congratulate
yourself that Stitch in time" has
saved you serious illness. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed pack
ages, price thirty-five cents. Your
druggist recommends and guarantees
Calotabs and will cheerfully give back
your money if you are not delighted.

Marshall Rhordes, of Eufaula, Ala,

mother-in-law suffered with the same
troubles, so gave her dose or two

Esprit de Corps Works Wonders,

Esprit de corps makes every French
soldier feel proud to belong to his unit,
for he proclaims that his unit Is the
best of all in the French armies and
that all men of this unit are a fine lot.
That esprit de corps will make them
perform wonderful achievements in Or
der to Guido neighboring units. But
the exaltation of the morale is really
the work Of the officers; they are in
close touch with the men and have
their confidence. They will point out
10 them the reasons why they fight !;
they will tell them why they must be
confident Of success; they will give
them some Indications as to how the
next battle will be fought and the rea-
sons why success is expected-name-
~, the great superiority in guns, I'm am
uunition, in infantry and in morale
that we shall have in this particular
sector. Then, as the training goes on,
the men will feel and realize their su-
periOrity over the enemy.
Another sentiment which must be in
culcated into every fighter is a strong
bate for the Boche, a strong desire to
meet him, to fight him and to beat
him.

Julius Caesar Timid.

To find Julius Caesar applying for
and getting exemption from military
service, as he has done at Spalding, is
something of shock. But this is one
of the names which prove that names
are not everything.
The most famous bearer of it-at a
long interval from the great Roman
Julius Caesar, the old all-England
cricketer, was of an extraordinarily
nervous temperament. His colleague,
Calbyn, has told how he was always
afraid to sleep by himself at strange
hotel for fear somebody might have
died there at some time.
"Julie" was also in nightly terror of
fire, would never sleep in room above
the first floor, and often reused CaIbyn
at night with cry that the fire had
come at last.-London Chronicle.
