CROWN PRINCE THRASHED.
Kaiser's Heir Given Chastisement by
One of His Servants.
All German royalties are attended
at table by their own butlers. The
Crown Prince has an elderly butler
who was once in the service of an
English peer. In this connection I
may relate a story that is well-known
in Berlin, concerning a former butler
of the Crown Prince. I was told it
by a servant in the Imperial house-
hold, but I cannot vouch for its truth.
As everyone knows, the Crown
Prince has, like his father, a very
violent temper, and when he was
quite a young man his immediate
attendants had to put up with a
great deal from their royal master.
The attendant who chiefly suffered
was a servant who acted as the
Prince's butler and chief personal at-
tendant. The Prince at that time
was leading a pretty gay life, and
sometimes would return to the Im-
perial Schloss in the early morning,
not altogether sober, and sometimes
1 in an excessively bad temper, which
1 he would vent on the luckless butler.
Now the butler was a giant of a
.Prussian, -an ex -cavalry soldier, and
for two years he put up with the
Prince's temper; submitted without
a murmur,. not only to the most vio-
lent and insulting abuse from his
royal master, but often to personal in-
dignities such as having boots flung at
his head. and wine in' his face.. The
man 'had been drilled arid schooled in
all the strict discipline of the Ger-
man army, and submitted to insult
and abuse from the heir to the
throne as a thing as natural and
proper as eating.
But, like the worm, even a Prus-
sian soldier will turn, and one night,
when the Prince returned from some
carousal in a particularly lively mood
and began as usual to abuse his at-
tendant, the dormant temper of the
big Prussian awoke.
He seized the Prince in his power
ful grasp, and inflicted on him, with
the Prince's own cane, a terrible
chastisement. Then he bound the
Prince hand and foot and gagged him
and departed from the Schloss. The
man left Berlin by a night train and
A Slight Mistake.
Willie was a bright boy and ready
to tackle anything that would yield I
him a living.
He had tried several jobs, but, {
somehow, he didn't get on in spite of I
his brightness. But at last he ob-
tained a berth in a bookseller's shop,
where he seemed likely to suit.
One day a stranger entered the
shop,
"Good morning," he said in answer
to Willie's bright greeting. "I want
'The Letters of Charles Lamb,' please."
"You've made a slight mistake,"'
smiled Willie, ignorant of a book of
that name. "The post office is just
around the corner. Mr. Lamb."
By Comparison.
Two Scottish soldiers on their way
to France passed through London re-
cently. It was their first experience
of the "big village," and they were na-
turally keeping their eyes open.
Their watchfulness was, however,
not sharp enough to avoid a taxi in
the vicinity of Victoria Station, and
one. of them got knocked over.
As he .picked himself up, none the

CHILDHOOD AILMENTS
Childhood ailments in most cases
come through some derangement of
the stomach or bowels. Baby's Own
Tablets have been proved by thou-
sands of mothers to be the greatest
medicine known for the cure of these
ailments, simply because they regu- •
late the bowels and sweeten the stom-
ach. Concerning them Mrs. Napoleon
Lambert, St. Ignace, Que., writes:
"Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent
medicine for childhood ailments and
I am well -pleased with their use."
The Tablets are sold by medicine deal-
ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from

QUEENS SOLD ALMANACS.
Once a Special Privilege to Say Who's
Who.
The sale of almanacs was once a
lucrative monopoly. Queen Elizabeth
granted the sole right to publish "al-
manacs and prognostications" to the
Stationers' Company, and James I.
extended the privilege to the Univer-
sities of Oxford and Cambridge, but
for centuries only these three bodies
were permitted to issue printed calen-
dars. The monopoly ended when the
claim of the king to the privilege of
granting or withholding permission to
issue calendars—a survival, perhaps,
from days when kings asserted their
right to regulate all things, including
even the times and seasons—was de-
finitely disproved and proclaimed non-
existent. Now anybody can say who's
who anywhere. -London Chronicle.

Be Strongly Packed.
The Canadian Post Office Depart-
ment has been notified by the British
Post Office that many parcels sent
from Canada to prisoners of war in
Germany are being received in Lon-
don in a damaged condition, so that
frequently they have to 'be repacked
before they can be forwarded to Hol-
land for transmission to Germany.
The British Post Office adds that in
most cases the damage appears to be
due to the fact that the parcels were
inadequately packed by the senders.
The public are warned, therefore,
that parcels for prisoners of war, un-
less they are very strongly packed,
will probably. arrive in such condition
as to be of little or no use to the re-
cipients.
•Ordinarily thin cardboard boxes,
such as shoe -boxes, and thin wooden
boxes should not be used; nor does a
single sheet of ordinary blown 'paper
afford sufficient protection. Even
where proper materials .are used, it
is important that the contents should
be tightly packed so as not to shake
about during transit. The following
forms of packing are recommended:
(1) Strong' double cardboard or
strawboard boxes. Those made of
corrugated cardboard and having lids
which completely enclose the sides of
the box are the most suitable. (2)
Tin boxes such as are used for pack-
ing biscuits. (3) Strong wooden
boxes. (4) Several folds of stout
packing paper.
The British authorities advise that
parcels for prisoners of war in Ger-
many must not be wrapped in linen,
calico, or any other textile material.
Parcels posted in Canada for pris-
oners of war in Germany which have
not been adequately packed by the
senders will not be forwarded but will
be returned to the senders, as the
British Post Office has notified the
Department that parcels which are
inadequately packed must be returned
to the senders.

20,000 MILES OF TRACKS.
The Canadian Pacific ' Railway is a
Great Corporation.
If all the trackage over which the
Canadian Pacific railway has control
—that is, all the leased lines, or lines
taken bodily over, or with running
rights—be included in a grand total,
the company operates to -day 20,000
miles of tracks. This fact alone would
tell of the biggness of the corpora-
tion which, thirty years ago, issued
its first annual statement on a sheet
of notepaper. The company owns
100,000 miles of telegraph; 10,000,000
acres of unsold lands, worth $200,-
000,000; and controls shipping to the
extent of 400,000 tons. One of the
notable features of the great corpor-
ation is, that it takes account of so
many things, which, at the first blush,
might not seem to be relatedto rail-
way transportation. The comfort of
the inner man on the trains is, of
course, of prime moment; but note
how the Canadian Pacific Railway
went out of its way to provide dietetic
gastronomy. The railway company
milks its own cows, and makes its
own soap. It bakes its own bread;
and it bores a tunnel through the
mountains above the clouds. It grows
its own potatoes, and its policies . are
of world-wide import and significance.

Science has fully proved that catarrh
is a constitutional disease and therefore

Sprays, inhalers, salves and nose douches
seldom if ever give lasting benefit and
often drive the disease further down the

If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal

druggist and get one ounce of Parmint
(Double strength). Take this home and
add to it r pint of hot water and 4
ounces of granulated sugar ; stir until

Salute Suitable for a General.
The recruit was having his first turn
on sentry duty. "Now, remember
your salutes," the corporal warned
him. "If you see a lieutenant wear-

tain, with three stars, slope arms also.
The major has a crown on bis straps,
and you present arms. For the col-
onel, who has stars and a crown, you
present arms and turn out the guard."
When he was left alone the recruit
went over these orders again and
again. Suddenly his musing was in-
terrupted by the approach of an of-
ficer. This was a general, and the
recruit did not know what to do for
him. "And which might you be?" he
asked bluntly, unable to recognize the
badge of the officer's rank. "fill the

"Sure, now, and are ye?" exclaimed
