but all do not as we'll know and under
stand that hot water. applied to an infam-
ed skin. will as certainly cool it of. Hence
the application of ioe-cold water With linen
cloths. or of almost boiling water with
wooden flannel. is very efficient in the cure
of Group. Take two or three pieces Of
wooden flannel Of two folds, large enough
to cover the whole throat and upper part
of the chest; putt these 10 pan Of water

b "Impossible!" cried Staszic. standing
up. and fixing his penetrating eyes on his
visitor. "You are the most promising ol
all our pupils-it must not be!'
In vain the young student tried to con-
ceal the motive of his conduct; Staszic in
sisted on knowing it.
''You wish," said Adolphe. ''to heap
favours on me. at the expense of your suf-
fering family"
The powerful minister could not con-
ceal bis emotion. His eyes filled with
tears, and he pressed the young mans
hand warmly, as he said:
Dear boy, always take heed to this
counsel-'JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE
TIME Ere the end of life arrives, the
purest virtue may be soiled by vice, and
the bitterest calumny proved to be un-
founded. My conduct is, in truth. an
enigma, which cannot now solve-it is
the secret of my life."
Seeing the young man still hesitate. be
added:
keep an account of the money I give
you, consider it as loan; and when some
day. through labor and study. you find
yourself rich, pay the debt by educating
q poor, deserving student. As to me,
wait for my death. before you judge my
life" .'.d. if
During fifty years Stanislas Staszic al
lowed malice to blacken his actions. He
knew the time would come when all Po-
land would do him justice.
On the Goth of January. 1926. thirty
thousand mourning Poles focked around
bis bier, and sought to touch the pail, as
though it were some holy, precious relic.
The Russian army could not compre-
hend the reason of the homage thus paid
by the people of Warsaw to this illustri.
GUS man. His last testament fully ex.
planned the reason Of bis apparent avarice.
His vast estates were divided into five
hundred portions. each to become the pro.
perty of free peasant-his former serf
A school, on an admirable plan and very
extended scale, was to be established for
the instruction Of the peasants children in
different trades. A reserved fund was

aged. A small yearly tax. to be paid by
the liberated serf, was destined for pur-
chasing by degrees the freedom of their
neighbors. condemned, as they had been,
to hard and thankless toll.
After having thus provided for bis
peasants. Stassic bequeathed six hundred
thousand forms for founding a model hos
pital; and he left considerable sum to-
wards educating poor and studious youths.
As for his sister, she inherited only the
same allowance which he had given her,
yearly. during his life; for she was per-
son of careless. extravagant habits, who
dissipated foolishly all the money she re.
ceived.
A strange fate was that of Stanislas
Staszic. A martyr to calumny during his
life. after death his memory was blessed
and revered by the multitudes whom be
had made happy.

than fiction. He is sixty five years of age.

accursed deeds he found much time for the
acquisition of knowledge, to the master
ing of tasks and problems that happily
make the majority of men gentler, nobler
and better. This coldblooded murderer
and consummate scoundrel is profound
philologist. good criminal lawyer. and
possesses considerable intimacy with the
cognate sciences of medicine and chemis-
try. And strangest, perhaps, Of all, is
the startling fact that this hardened Grim
inal is self taught man, one who was a
close student for the pure love Of knowl-
edge. And equally mysterious are the
facts that a manuscript work on philology
and translation from the French forms

knowledge that might have acquitted him

From the Nation.
THE CURSE OF WINE.

A window in the heaven was just ajar,
When all unseen by the sentinel star,
An angel slipped out from her jasper throne
And wandering down to the world alone,
She watched the children of men in the race
For fashion and fame, for power and place.
She saw how the miser could hoard up his gold
And leave his own kindred to die in the cold
She saw how the scholar bent o 'er his books
Till the seal of deaths angel was seen in his
looks;
She saw how. a warrior, in hope of renown,
The lives of the people like clover moved down.
She saw how the maiden by selfshness cursed,
Though by fatterers blessed, by her victims
f was cursed;
She saw crime-stained culprits in pulpit and
pew,
And the faiseness of those who had sworn to
{; be true,
In the ships on the sea, in the houses on land,
The touch of the tempter was ever at hand.
In the links of the chain were life's phases all
ss told,
Both the good and the true, with the base and
the bold;
And the shadows of sin like armament hung
Ger the crutches of age and the steps of the
young.
And the tears Of the sorrowing flowed like a
O'er shrines that were broken, that love could
not save.
But . sorrow far deeper, more fearful than all
The angel had viewed, though hovel or hall,
Had yet to be seen, where the victims of rum
In the ashes of grief and in sorrow were dumb.
Not long did she wait ere the trail of the cup
Was seen in its march over faith, love, and
hope.
And never came tide, that in ebb or flow,
Covered over snch love, or revealed such woe,
20, children of men" said the angel to me,
'sTAe sorrow Of sorrows this sorrow must be |!
Beyond all the sorrows that miser can make,
Beyoad all the lives that ambition can take.
The greatest is this, where all hope is bereft,
And the curse of intemperance only is left.
O, man, made Immortal for loss or for gain.
Why, why touch the wine-cup2 Why take to
your hearts
That viper which enters but seldom departs.
Why call down the shadow to fold you in
wrath, Is,
Instead Of the sunshine to brighten your path. y

CH1LDHooD's QUESTIONS Those pa
rents run the risk of losing their children
who put aside their trivial questions as of
no consequence. An interrogation point
symbolizes the life of childhood s'Why"
and "What" are the. keys with which it
unlocks the treasury of the world. The
boys numberless questions often seem
trivial. but the wise parent will never turn
them off unanswered. if he can help it.
It is his rich opportunity Of teaching. He
is met half way, and there is all the diff
ference between impressing truth on an
eager mind and an uninterested one. The
little fellow. helping you at work and
spearing you with endless questions. may
learn as much in half hour there as in a
week when. his body is, prisoner in a
school room and his thoughts are out Of
doors.

How A WOMAN KEEPS A SECRET.

Itis an old quib upon women that a
woman can not keep secrets but the fact
is theyIare the only part Of humanity
that can. A wife keeps . husbands
secret incomparsbly better than he does
hers. We calculate that there 10 one
drunken wife to about four hundred and
ninety nine drunken husbands. In gamb-
ling licentiousness, lying, cheating,
hypocrisy convetousncss there is pretty
near the same proportion. Yet Of the
four hundred and ninety-nine wives, four
hundred conceal, cover up, silently endure
the terrible secret; while the one husband
mourns over his wife's frailty in the study
Of his pastor, and 70 the ear Of his friend,
and probably complains Of It TO . court
of law. II Is the same with brother and
sister. The secrets woman talks about
are the kind that are unimportant and
most agreeable TO her. But Of serious
secrets she Is as reticent - the grave.
That is our observation, and in our vsri.
Gus relation OF physician, lawyer, and
unordained minister, We have had oppor-
tunities for . great deal OF observation
