A Claim to Human Gratitude. ———— Charlotte Corday, the sad-faced, tender-hearted peasant girl of Nor- mandy made great history by one desperate act! Sickened by the saturnalia of the French revolution, and moved to des- peration as Robespierre and Marat were leading the flower of France to the guillotine, she determined that she would put an end to Marat’s bloody reign. Marat had demanded two hundred thousand victims for the guillotine! He proposed to kill off the enemies of the Revolution to make 1k perpet- ual! Horrible thought! No wonder 1t fired the blood of this patriotic peasant maid! Gaining access to his closely guarded quarters by a subterfuge, she found him In his bath, even then inexorable and giving written directions for fur- ther slaughter! Heo asked her the names of the ini- mical deputies who had taken refuge in Caen. She told him, and be wrote them down. “That is welll Before a week is over they shall all be brought to the guillotine,” At these words, Charlotte drew from her bosom the knife, and plunged it with supernatural force up to the hilt in the heart of Marat. “Come to me, my dear friend, come to me,” cried Marat, and expired under the blow! In the Corcoran gallery at Washing- ington 1s a famous painting of Char- lotte, represented as behind the prison bars the day before her execution. It 1s a thrilling, sad picture, full of sorrow for ber suffering country, and of uneonqueradble hate for her country’s enemies, What a lesson in this siragic story! Two hundred, nay, five hundred thou- sand people would Marat have sacri- ficed to his unholy passion of power! Methods are quite as murderous and their victims by the millions. The page of history is full of mur- ders by authority and by mistaken ideas! have been allowed to die and as many more killed by unjustifiable bigotry and by bungling! Tut the age is bettering. Men and methods are improving. A few years ago it was worth one’s protessional life to advise or permit the use of a pro- prietary medicine, not two physicians in any town in this country who do not regularly pre- seribe some form of proprietary remedy. *H. H. Warner, famed all over the world as the discoverer of Warner's safe cure, began hunting up the old remedies of the Log Cabin days; alter in securing some of the most valuable, among family records, and called them Warner's Log Cabin remedies—the simple preparations of roots, leaves, balsams and herbs ers. struck a popular chord and are in extraordinary demand all over the land. They are not the untried and imaginary remedies of some dabster chemist intent on making money, but the long sought principles of the heal- ing art which for generations kept our for the good of humanity by one who is known all over the world as a philan- thropist—a lover of his fellow man,— highest standard of excellence, The preperations are of decided and known influence over disease, and as in the hands of our grandmothers they raised up the sick, cured the lame, and bound up the wounds of death, so in their new form but olden power as Log the “healing of the nations.” Corday did the world an incalculable service in ridding France of the bigoted and murderous Marat, just as this man is doing humanity a service by re-in- trodueing to the world the simpler and better methods of our ancestors, Deceivens EVER, —8Stella (ber first party)—Oh, Clarissa, what do you think that lovely Count de Frskie said to me?" Jlarissa (with indifference) — And what did the lovely count say to you? Stella— Well, you know, after we bad danced together five or six times he begged me to give him one little Lud from my bouquet, which he sald he would enshrine In the Innermost reces- ses of his heart of hearts forever and foraver, but it sounded awfully niece; but, Clar- issa* what do vou think he could have weant?

Hay cut at the right stage, well cured and properly stored, will make a feed of the very best quality; but there 1s a very consid- erable difference between that which is cut at the right stage, well cured and properly stored, than when cut either too early or too late and good care Is not taken in the curing or storing away. EXPERIMENTS appear to have pro- ven that acid apples with white flesh make the best product when dried. In large establishroents apples are pre- pared for the evaporator by machines that pare, core nnd slice the apples in one operation, Hand-prepared fruit, not being divided into uniform pieces, does not dry as evenly and present as attractive appearance. Some manu- facturers place the apples when they come from the parer into a solution of gallons of water. This is thought to cut the gum on the fruit and clean it, bleaching. that any farmer can bave good seed if he wil! constantly practice careful selec- tion.
