SPAIN'S NATIONAL ANTHEM. "La March Realle" Wat CompoMd by Frederick the Great. Frederick tlio Orcnt was the com poser of the Spnnish national anthem. Frederick's ambitions were varied. IIo performed on the flute. IIo desired to be thought a poet. IIo quoted Latin, but his quotntiona would have made Cicero starts ind gasp. Purine that rumnrknulo friendship which existed between hi in and Voltaire the author the "Ilenrliido' exrlulmed with do rilon, "Seo the dirty linen I have to wash," holding up Frederick's manu acrlpt, which had been sent him to re vise. In the field the great worrlor carried about his own poems in his pocket and n bottle of poison, bo that ho should not be taken alive. Menzel's plrturo depicts the king with his flute, and Bach dedicated to him one of his compositions. Tho story of (ho composition of the Spnnish national anthem Is full of In terest. A llltlo while after the conclu sion of tho Seven Years wnr Frederick at a court reception to tho surprlso of every one produced a march which ho had composed. Tho Spanish ainbossa dor, both a musician and courtier, asked for a copy to send to his royal mnster, Charles III. That monorch admired tho piece, and it was often heard at tho Escurhil. After a time it was laid ankle and almost forgotten. In 18M, aftur the deposition of Isabel la, Mnrwhnl Serrano instituted a com wtlllon among composers for a nation al anthem.

Dress Is of moro 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 tho classics Is the equivalent of tho "good man" with us. This man. his character and his conduct are the constant theme of approbation. His virtue, his honor, his social relations, his manners In public nnd private, are carefully de fined. His dignity Is among his high est qualities and must be maintained at any cost In contradiction to tho popular idea of dignity, however, tho superior man will play battledore and shuttlecock with his feet and fly kites, whilo the boys, llko old men, stand sedately by and look on. This be does as a meth od of instruction and to show the children how the superior man can re lax when his high purpose is to enter tain nnd educate the young. To the Chinese tho foreigner is a boor and a barbarian. It seems a hopeless task to teach him politeness. Tho 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 he is to be com mended. Hut, alas, what a boor he is! Nurlonal Geographic Magazine.
