If you do not start your mus cles going, you will soon find them go ing of their own accord. You will be-j gin to shiver —an involuntary action, of the muscles. If you will set your' muscles at work be fore that shiver-j ing comes you will be able to prevent | it.

B.—Advices from Carlsruhe stete that preparations on a most elaborate scale have been made for tomorrow's celebration of the eightieth anniversary of the leigning grand duke of Baden, Fred crick I. The celebration W&Lbe gen eral throughout the duchy# ffae ad vices further state that WwGrand Duke is particularly pleased and gratified by the visit of a delegation irom Pittsburg bringing with them ,1 message of congratulation from the Grand Duke's former subjects now resident in America. The Grand Duke of Baden is in a way one of the most notable figures among the rulers of Europe. Few people have played a more important iole, not only in the constitution of the German empire,' but also in the maintenance of its integrity.' It was he who, as one of the independent sovereigns of Southern Germany, conducted all the negotiations tbjit led to the election ?of King William of Prussia as German emperor in 1870. And it is is he, too, who since then has been the principal factor in smoothing away all those many dif ferences, spme of them of a very acute character, : that have arisen be tween Prussia and the other states of the confederation. It is something of a coincidence that the present week marked the fftieth year of the reign of the Grand Duke. Ha owes his throne in the first place to the insanity of his elder brother, who died under re straint after being deposed, and sec-; ondly to the romance in connection with the son of the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, Stephanie, an adopted daughter of the first Napo leon, was a devout Roman Catholic and a French woman by birth. She bore to her husband five chilldren — three daughters and two sons. One cf the sons died in infancy. Con cerning the other there always has been a mystery. She herself went down th • grave family convinced that her little boy had been stolen by the adherents of the reigning and Luth eran branch of the house of Baden. True, an infant was carried to the j grave with all the honors due to the remains of a little prince of the Hood. But the Grand Duchess al ways insisted that the little corpse v;as not that of her child, but was that of a little boy who, moribund,' had been substituted by her enemies lor her own healthy offspring. Years afterward a young man was found fainting of hunger at the gates of Nuremberg, and was taken to the police station. He was entire ly unable to communicate with any-. body,' having no power of speech and ' no acquaintance with either reading cr writing. He fell into charitable hands, and gradually was taught and educated, whereupon he by degrees , became able to give some account of j himself. From this it appeared that i he had been kept like a wild beast in :' a dark room. This existence contin-1 ued from the time he could remem- J 1 ber until the day he was placed,' blindfolded, in a cart and driven to ( the spot at the gates of Nuremberg 1 vrhero he was subsequently found, j 1 The memories which he recalled of J - liis childhood were of such a charac- • j ter as to give rise to the belief that J, he was no other than the missing j son of the Grand Duchess Stephanie. A meeting was arranged for them, the mother being convinced that the ; outh was her missing son. But within a few hours of the time ap pointed for the interview he was mor- * tally stabbed by some unknown indi- ! vidual.
