SPAIN'S NATIONAL ANTHEM.
"La Marcha Realie" Was Composed by
Frederick the Great.
Frederick the Great was the com
poser of the Spanish national anthem.
Frederick's ambitious were varied. He
performed on the flute. He desired to
be thought a poet. He quoted Latin,
hut his quotations would have made
Cicero stare and gasp. During that
remarkable friendship which existed
between him and Voltaire the author
of the "Henriade'' exclaimed/ with de
rision, "See the dirty linen i-..have to
wash," holding up Frederick'^ manu
script, which had been sent him to re
vise. In the field the great warrior
çarrled about his own poems in his
pocket and a bottle of poison, so that
he should not be taken alive. MenzeTs
picture depicts the king with his flute,
and Bach dedicated to him one of his
compositions. '
lerest. A. little while after the conclu
sion of thé Seven Years' war Frederick
nt a court reception to the surprise of
every one produced a march which he
had composed. The 'Spanish ambassa
dor, both a musician and courtier,
jsked for a copy to send to his royal
master, Charles HI. That monarch
The story of the composition of the
Spanish national anthem is full of,in
admired the piece, and it was often
beard at the Escurial. After a tlmo it
was laid aside and almost forgotten.
In 1869, after the deposition of Isabel

petition among composers for a nation

Inspiring as Frederick's march, which
had been exhumed from the archives.
This was chosen and is today known

SCHOLARS in china.
They Rule the Country Where All
Foreigners Are Called Boors.
The scholars rule China today. Dress
Is of more moment there than in any
other country, yet the scholar, al
though poor and meanly dressed, is
received with honor by the highest in
the land.
. "The superior man" of the classics
Is the equivalent of the "good man"
with us. This man. his chnraçtér and
his conduct are the constant theme
Of approbation. His virtue, his honor,
his social relations, his manners in
public and private, are carefully de
fined. His. dignity is among.his high
est qualities and must be maintained
nt any cost.
In contradiction to the popular idea
of dignity, however, the superior man
will play battledore and shuttlecock
with liis foot and fly kites, while the
hoys, like old men, stand sedately by
and look on. This hè does as n meth
od of'instruction and to show the
children how the superior man can re
lax when his high purpose is to enter
tain and educate the young. >
To the Chinese the foreigner is a
boor and a barbarian.: It seems a
hopeless task to teach him politeness.
The Chinese wonders why the for
eigner leaves his own country at all.
Is it too small for him to make his liv
ing. or has he come to observe the su
perior people? If so beds to be com
mended. But, alas, what q boor ho is!

An Oversight.
SU; Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the fa
mous theatrical manager, was present
at a supper in. London a short time
ago where Signor Grasso was an hon
ored and much- feted guest. When
the banquet was over and «very one
was departing, Grasso was so con
fused and carried away by the atten
tions and embraces which had been
showered upon him that he: thought
lessly directed his taxi driver to drive
him to the stage floor of the theater
at which he was playing, t
"What on earth floes he want to go
back to the theater for at this time of
the night?" asked one of those Who
were waving him adieu. A
"Ah," said Sir Herbert Tree, "I ex
pect he has forgotten to kiss the fire
man !"
The Loft Over Sandwiches.
Sometimes after a party there are
sandwiches left over. Here Is an excel
lent way of using them up: Make a
batter exactly like you use for pan
cakes and add to it either sugar or
salt, according to whether the sand
wiches are sweet or savory. Then
each sandwich Is dipped in the batter
and fried till a golden brown In fat
from which a faint bluish smoke Is ris
ing. No matter how dry they are they
are delicious done in this way. . Crusts
that have been cut off from sandwiches
^ in t ) ie oven , pu t through a mincing
machine and use as coating for fish.

Life.
SEASICKNESS.
It Is Not Beneficial, and In Rare Cases
It Causes Death.
In the light of riiodern intelligence
the once popular idea that seasickness
was of real benefit to the sufferer and
that it never terminated fatally has
been exploded. , f Not only is this mala
dy to be guarded against by every
meaiis possible» but it is even to be
dreaded by those who are not over
robust as lending to possible fatal be
en! ts. j j
The old fashioned notion that a good
dose of seasickness was beneficial was
due wholly to the fact that upon r6:
covery the victim of mal de mer is
usually so delighted that he is apt to
Imagine that he never felt better iq
his life, while feeling normal.again is
merely so great a contrast to the ex-»
ceedingly wretched condition which
this disorder brings about that ex*
aggeration of one's feelings is tho
, most natural thing in the world. Sea-.
j sickness is far from pleasant. It la
not beneficial, and in rare cases it
terminates fatally,
There Is one consolation, however?
that with the growth of the size of
ships and the increase of speed travel
ers are to a certain extent Insure^
against it or if attacked are certain
that their sufferings will be short.—
Marine Journal.
The Art of Poisoning.
Professional poisoners arose early In
our era. It is- recorded that Agrippina
(A. D. 2G) refused to eat apples at the
table of ker : father-in-law. Tiberius,
through fear of poison. The notorious
Locuata flourished in that epoch. It
is charged that she supplied with ap
propriate directions the poison by
which Agrippina rid herself of Clau
dius. She also furnished The poison
that was administered to. Britanniens
by order of Nero. This crime was
committed In quite a .conventional
manner. The Romans were accustom
ed to drink hot water at table, but the
same temperature, did not* appeal to
all. A slave offered hot water to Bri
tanniens. "Too hot," he -remarked.
The slave added cold water.;. Britan
niens drank, gasped once or twice and
died. The cold wgter was -polspncd
either with a cyanide or with prussic
acid.
Care of Snowshoes, »,
Snowshoes need very little care. You
don't have to wipe them dry. with a
chamois, for Instance, the ' prescribed
treatment for skates. When taking
them off merely tap them agalpst the
wall or a tree to shake free the cling
ing snow and stand them up on their
heels outside. Never attempt .to dry
them before a fire. When they are put
away for the summer select a dry
place where there will be no danger of
mice.—Country Life In America.
The Age of the Microbe,
People Just now are living in.a state
of almost morbid apprehension con
cerning what they should eat and
drink. There have- been the-paleo
lithic age and the red sandstone age.
The present age would come to be
known as the bacillus, microbe and
tubercle ago. — Lord Rabhlesdale in
House of Lords,
Wedding Ring Mottoes.
The custom of inscribing within the
hoop of the betrothal or wedding ring
a motto or "posy," as It was called,
was formerly very prevalent. Hamlet
asks, "Is this a prologue or the posy of
a ring?" Some posies were very ten
der and beautiful. Among the more
appropriate posies may be mentioned
"Deux corps, un coeur," "My heart
and ,1 until I die" and "X am yours"
from slxteeenth century rings. "Love
ever," "Love true, 'tla joy." and "Time
lesseneth not my love" from thé seven
teenth century. "Love me." ".My soul
Will keep thine company tc heaven"
and "En ma fldeIPe je finirai ma vie"
from the eighteenth. In the ring which
"FloirizeJ" (afterward George IV.I gave
to tlje hapless Perdlta were the words.
"Je change qu'en mourant— Unalterable
to my Perdlta through life."
Must Keep Jt Dry.
The teacher had explained to a prt
mary class the difference between sol
ids and liquids and Illustrated her
points by objects kept on a table.
When she thought her pupils had
grasped the idea she held up her watch
and asked, "Now, children, must I put
this among the solids or among the
liquids?" "Among the solids, teacher,"
a bright little boy replied. "Why not
among the liquids?" she

cause If you do you will get it wet."
