, *- Napoleon call
I ed liis "right
arm" because
tbat was just the truth of It, began in
a stable ami climbed to a throne. Mu
rat was a man of princely mold, what
may well be called a "born prince."
He was more princely, in fact, than
the real tiling, for those who come to it
by divine right are apt to be narrow,
haughty and weazen souled ns well
as weazen bodied. The whilom hostler
of Bnstide looked every inch a king
and acted up to his appearance.
It reads well in print for a writer to
say that his hero "struck terror to the
foe." It seems that Murat struck death
and all that to the poor fellows on the
other side, but he also struck them
with admiration, so princely was his
bearing. If they must be thrashed, it
was a compensation to have it done by
a foeman of knightly blade. As pris
oners and under a truce the Cossacks
would rave over Murat's noble looks
and splendid horsemanship. lie was a
sensation to them, a sort of superhu
man creature. In battle he would se
lect the finest of them for antagonists
and if possible take them prisoners,
then shower them with valuable pres
ents. On one campaign he exhausted
his own purse and the wealth of his
friends, even parting with his watch
and borrowing others from comrades
to give mementos of the occasion to
the wild horsemen he had vanquished
with the sword and with princely kind
liness.
The time was ripe for a Murat as
well as for a Napoleon In the days fol
lowing the revolution. The leveling up
process was a failure on the whole. But
the people were tired of the old order
of selfish princes who were all for self
or for fellows to the manner born. A
cry went up from the downtrodden
masses for a division of the good
things "wrung from the hard hands of
peasants" for the enjoyment of the few
having Inherited privileges. Murat had
Bprung from the soil, but with the an
cient ideas of chivalry. He was fond of
display of all kinds and made his vani
ty a virtue. When he got his first sword
by valor in battle, he engraved upon It
the motto, "Honor and the Ladles." In
a practical age he would be set down
as a dreamer and a poser. Hut he acted
out his dreams. He was what he posed
for. a man of lion heart who fought for
prizes to give away.
Murat's father was a lowly innkeep
er. The boy was given a college educa
tion and destined for the priesthood.
He ran away and had numerous adven
tures, serving in the army of the king
and against the king. When stranded,
he returned as a prodigal son, and the
father, instead of killing the fatted
calf, set him to work cleaning horses
for the nobility who patronized his
humble courts. It wasn't difficult for a
clever young fellow to outstrip the kind
of noble masters he had. They hus
banded their inheritances, for they
knew that once los* they hadn't the
stuff in them to recover, to create, to
win, new glories and fortunes. A pret
ty cheap lot of nobles— nobles In name
and in divine right only—were pushed
from their stools by the dashing, dar
ing spirits who rallied around the Cor
sican king smasher.
It was an act of romantic devotion
which won for Murat a crown and the
lady of his choice. lie stood by Napo
leon In the coup d'etat which changed
him from an adventurer into a mon
arch. For that Bonaparte gave him
kingship of the two Sicilies and the
hand of his sister Caroline. Every Inch
a king, he was also a man to charm the
eyes of woman. He loved Caroline to
the hour of his death —loved and cher
ished her long after he had ceased to
believe in the imperial destiny of her
brother.
But it was not for his services as a
courtier that Napoleon took Murat to
his bosom. He had fought beside him
!n Italy and in Egypt under the shad
ow of the pyramids. Napoleon gave
marshal's batons to men who had worn
knapsacks, and he was not one to hand
over a throne and one of the rosebuds
of his family to a mere schemer at
court, a creature of transient useful
ness. Murat "talked back" to the em
peror. He told him to his face not to
tight at Smolensk and to keep away
from Moscow. A tongue so bold would
not have been brooked in a person less
than his "right arm" in battle.
An Iron heart and an Iron will do not
necessarily go with battle courage.
Murat was a man of sentiment and
emotion. So was Napoleon if one can
believe some of his biographers. One
day Murat felt that Napoleon did not
appreciate him and made up his inind
to die. Sending his staff and guards
away, he rode straight upon a Russian
battery which was firing steadily into
the French lines. Finally turning his
eyes around. I>< found that General
Belliard of his staff had remained by
Ws side. "How is this?" said Murat.
'Have I not directed you ail to retire?"
'But, sir," protested Belliard, "every
anan Is master of his own life. As my
foneral is determined to dispose or mo
own I must be allowed to fall with
aim." Murat's temper was disarmed
iy this appeal of devotion, and he turn
ed back out of danger.
In stature Murat was tall and stately,
with the tread of a monarch. With a
*ace of the soft oriental type, he never
iheless had an eagle eye. He always
•hose the fiercest charger for his horse
tnd rode so well as to attract admira
lon on all sides. His costume was ever
jorgeous and everything about him
nost imposing. Made of the richest
naterial. his uniform glittered with
jold and was set off In red or purple. A
liamond studded sword hung at nm
tide, suspended from a golden girdle,
n the field Murat wore a chapeau
nagnificently decorated with a white
>lume of ostrich feathers and another
• 112 heron wing. His hair was jet black
tnd worn very long. In cold weather
ilurat covered his gorgeous trappings
vltb an equally gorgeous green velvet
•elisse set off with rich sables. Mount

lodeled after the Turks. Murat would
nve been a frak in the camps of the
epublican arm cs had it not been for
is noble bearing and his valor. The
an was majesty itself, and the splen
dor seemed t<> belong to Inn

there was but one l<-rider who could

C. J. Smith. He looked the part, and
the bttge feathers n-:>l glittering epau
lets were as necessary to him as plum
age to the eagle. Murat was a good
target for the enemy. !-:it the Trench
gave way before him in ni!:i;e. If
they hated splendor in kings. tiny par
doned it.even admired it.in a man
who could fight, just as though nothing
was too g. mil for the soldi) r of lion

zled by this bold; .ss l•' .. ng in front
of them, he waved hi-- hand contemptu
ously and in a tone of command cried,
"Clear the road, you reptiles!" They
obeyed, and Murat looked calmly on,
waiting for his astonished guards to
come up.
Generalship is not to be expected in
the dashing leader, but Napoleon fixed
Murat's place in military annals by
that one immortal phrase, "the best
cavalry officer in tlie world." What
commander would not at any time
give his own right arm to secure a
matchless leader of quadrotis? In tlie
campaign of Austerlitz Murat operat
ed the cavalry corps on his own hook,
like Sheridan under Grant. Before the
great battle he won ten signal victories
and captured more of the enemy than
he numbered sabers in his command.
In a crisis Napoleon would give Mu
rat 10,000 to 'JO.OOi> cavalry and turn
him loose upon the foe. Idolized by
his men, he never lacl:ed followers in
the hottest adventures. At Eilau he
rode straight upon the muskets of the
Russians who were thinning his ranks
with an awful fire. The guards charg

Coeducation is the great social achieve
ment of the nineteenth century. A hun
dred years uso there was no public provi
sion anywhere in the world for the higher
education of women. "Why do you want
togo to the academy?" said a shrewd,
matter of i o-t New England farmer,
l'r. s Stone, in ls.i.», to his bright, as
piring daughter. I.my. "Your mother
learned just enough arithmetic to count
her ci-'gs and < hickens and figure up her
butter money. She lias got alone: well
enough. \\ hat was good enough for her
ought to be good enough for you." So he
refused to givi Lucy money togo to a
seminary. ami Eney had to teacli coun
try gel latsl a week, year after year,
to pay her way at Qua bog and Wilbra
hit 111 and South Had ley. "Girls cannot
learn ({reek and Hebrew and algebra,"
said her brother, when Lucy expressed
her wish togo with him to college.
So Lucy had to save up S7O to
enable her to travel across the state of
New York to Buffalo, and thence (as
a deck passenger) on a Lake Erie
steamer to Toledo, in order to reach the
brave western college bearing the lion
.i]-4 d i.-Hue of the missionary Oberlin.
which alone in the whole round world
admitted women to equal educational
opport: - is. Graduating there in 1847,

thony. us they in their turn blazed the
path for .Tulia Ward Howe and Mary A.
Livermorc and a i am v of women lec
turers atal rcf ei: o . *.vi ■> 112 llowcd.
Every state west of 1 em. ylvuuia. fior-a
Ohio to California, opened it colleges
and univc.-ities tow. men. Geneva col
lege in 1815 was the iirst medical school
in the world to admit a v -a mi a ; a stu
tlent, an i in 1547 1 h I ..e | astiri of
seeing my sister. Elizabeth Blackwell,
receive her diploma, and hear her pro
nounced by the faculty to be the leader
in every department of study of her class
of 130 young men. But it had cost her
sew n years' heroic effort to get what
hundreds of young women now obtain
every year without opposition.
But conservatism dies hard. Failing
to prevent coeducation by direct method*,
it has resorted to compromises. To meet
the growing demand by women for higher
education the aristocratic east, with its
class distinctions and inherited preju
dices, has combated coeducation by flank
movements. Women's colleges were
established at Vassar, Smith, Wellesley
and Brvn Mawr. Graduates of coeduca
tional colleges were employed in many
cases as presidents, professors and in
structors in those institutions.
A more subtle form of compromise has
rtcoiriy been devised in order to stave
off the Inevitable. Western Reserve ami
Brown and Columbia and Harvard have
practically instituted women's depart
ment-. under such titles as Barnard, Rad
cliffe, etc., which have been endowed by
rich men and women. In these, women
pursue similar studies in separate classes
under the professors of men's colleges,
receiving diplomas certified by the presi
dents of these colleges as indicative of
equal proficiency. And now a new step
in differentiation is proposed. Physicians
have ceased to predict physical deteriora
tion of women as a result of college stud
ies, but certain presidents and professors
of men's colleges now s< ek to ward off
coeducation by asserting that classical
education und the higher mathematics
unfit women to be wives and mothers.
A sympathetic crusade against coeduca
tion had gradually been initiated by east
ern Dame Fartingtons. G. Stanley Hall,
president of Clark university, of Wor
cester. Mass., has stirred western edu
cators by his misleading utterances at
Chicago.
President Hail, describing "The Ideal
School" to his summer school at Worces
ter, is actually reported as saying:
"There are many people who never
ought to be educated, and who would bo
better in morals if they never had been
to school. We are coming to under
stand the vanity of scholarship."
And, again, he proposes to segregate
the sexes after the girls are thirteen and
the boys eleven years of age. He says:
"Boys can hereafter rarely do their
best work under female teachers, because
they feel their manhood, and tho sexes
will pretty much part company. The
girls need reverent exemption from com
petition. In soul and body girls are
more conservative, while boys are more
radical. Facts, ideas, laws, principles
should be in their atmosphere, and they
are of vital importance. They have en
tered the stage uf apprenticeship to life."
So it appears that "facts, ideas, laws,
and principles" are not adapted to wo
men. What a mistake nature has made
in putting boys and girls as brothers and
sisters into tlie same families, since they
need to part company so early! Presi
dent Clark's address is a surprising mix
ture of sense and nonsense, containing
many admirable suggestions, but assum
ing that the sexes are so intellectually
distinct that they require different edu
cational diet at separate tables. This is
in modern form the old assault upon the
principle of coeducation.
But the Atlantic ocean will not be
driven back by a few apostles of exclu
slveness and class distinction. Tho great
fre<-, broad, liberal west will pay slight
deference to these petty antagonists.
Every 3 ear great state universities from
Vermont to California will graduate
thousands of young women with the af
fectionate esteem of their masculine
rlusaiiuites, while the- more conservative
ins 1 it nt iou- Kradimte their hundred*.

Speaking on the development of the
boar before the lowa Swine Breeders'
association. Mr. 11. Streator said:
I would rather do the work than tell
you bow it should be done, as there is
no laid down rule. Very often a change
ui condition requires different treat
ment. I will try to give you it rule
that, seldom fails. In the first place I
would select a young boar with a quiet
disposition, which nearly always do
notes good feeding qualities. I would
want him growth}- and a good individ
ual, with a good, large bone and a
strong constitution, with its much stylo
and finish as possible. I would want
his sire, dam. grandsire and grandain
to have good development—the devel
opment that I expected the young boar
to have when fully matured, for like
produces like, and that which is bred
in the bone, with proper treatment,
will come out through the flesh.
After having selected the kind of
young boar, I would give him kind
treatment, as nothing w ill ruin a young
hoar quicker than ill treatment. I
would give him a well fenced lot, with
good shelter. The lot should contain
not less than one fourth of an acre,
and if larger till the better. This will
furnish him with plenty of pasture and
room to exercise. If the boar is of a
quiet disposition, his lot may be ad-
Joining other bogs, but should he bo
of a nervous disposition I would have
his lot away from other hogs.
In regard to the feed and feeding!
It makes not so much difference what
the feed is and liow it is fed. I would
feed him regularly twice a day with
corn and oats and swill made of
ground oats and ship stulT. He should
have some salt and plenty of wood
ashes, and under no condition be over
fed, as it. will do liiin more harm than
good. For good development it requires
good breeding and good feeding, feed
alone will not develop the nice little
boar into a large, tine boar; neither will

and never allow her to get too fleshy,
but feed such foods as will develop
bone and muscle, capacity and consti
tution rather than flesh, said 11. S
Moore before the lowa Swine Breeders'
association. I warn you against pour
ing or feeding all kinds of truck and
nostrums that are advocated for the
hog. These poisons, often being taken
into the system, xuust pass off either by
natural discharge or through the pores.
Mix lime, salt and saltpeter and putin
your hog lots, and you will never ring
a hog as long as you have a supply of
this. Do not be carried away by theory
or uncertainties, but understand you
cannot change nature's laws any more
than you can change the sun's course,
but you can assist nature, and when
you do this intelligently nature reas
serts herself and thereby you have ac
complished the end sought.
Hon Pointers.
Hogs are filthy generally because they
are compelled to be so. No animal will
keep itself cleaner than a hog will if
given a chance.
You can take more interest in making
a good corn crop if you have a good

cash as soon as it is ready.

more savage and less intelligent than

have blue eyes, and all such are said
to be stone deaf.

JWhen Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded, money I
making was not in the thought of its promotors. To give young I
men and women thorough intellectual and moral training at the M
0 lowest possible cost was its paramount aim. It remains its para- 0

112 the faculty enlarged, but the school is true to its first principles. I
