SWORD OF FREDERICK
WAS NOT AT HIS TOMB
Priceless Relic Mysteriously Re?
appeared Among Royal
Regalia.
BY LA MARQUISE DE FOXTBXIIV
IT wtll be rem3nvb?;red by students
Oif history that Napoleon L. when
In Prussia, as a conqueror, visited
Potsdam with the intention of re?
moving from the grave of Frederick
tho Great the sword o? that King
and sending to Pari, this priceless
relic. But thero Is a legend to the
elfeet that Napoleon never committed
thu purposed desecration, for the very
s'mple reason that when the Kmnoroe
went to the tomb the aword was not
there, and that file one he sent to
Parla to be hung up in the Palace di u
Invalides was a weapon removed by
him from a "panoply of arms" that
ornamented the apartment which had
been tho bedroom ot Frederick tho
Great In his palace at Potsdam, til's
I room having been religiously preserv
! ed, as far us possible. In the stute 'n
which ho left It.
I As to the aword that had been placed
on the grave of Frederick Hie Great
and had been worn by that King tor
half a century, the one Napoleon had
sought, he, when questioned later,
swore that he had never touched It,
had never ever seen it. adding, grand?
iloquently, that "his own scoptre and
sword were suffto'ont for his glory
without his stealing another man's."
For years this sword of Frederick
the Great was lost sight of. Hut III
1S2S it mysteriously reuppeared among
the royal regalia of Prussia, without
any one knowing where It had come
I rum.
Another fame us sword which
strangely dropped out of Sight was
that of Suleiman the Magnificent. It
was prised as ono of the most valua?
ble relics of the Turkish Treasury
During the re'gn ot Sultan Abdul
' Hamid it suddenly vaii'sied, and a
story became current to the effect that
It had been given by the Sultan to
his friend and fnvortta. Tahlr Pasha.
j Just before the Young Turks deposed
\ their Padishah.
The sword Of Suleiman was regard -
? ed by the old T irks with awe and
1 veneration as a wonder-working relic.

How to Beautify
Hair and Complexion
Nothing has boon found so efficient
I to keep tho scalp clean and healthy,
and the hair lustrous, Huffy and grow?
ing, as a shampoo prepared by dia
l solving a tcaspoonful of canthrox in a
( cup of hot water. The hair will rlnso
: easily and dry quickly without streak
' lng. This shampoo prevents brit
tlenoss, split hairs and dissolves dan?
druff Instantly.
An extremely good lotion, far better
I than face powder for whitening tho
' skin and beautifying the complexion,
can be mnde by dissolving four ounces
of spurma.x in one-half pint witch hazel
(or hot water), then adding two toa
spoonfula glyc.. rlne. For taking away
that Bhlny, oily, sallow look and Im?
proving a muddy complexion, It Is un
equaled. It Is very beneficial to the
skin, doe* not show nor rub oft easily
like powder, and gives to the skin suoh
a smooth, refined appourance.
