Rare Courage and Presence Of Mind OF .
French Girl.
Some years ago four men, who were
employed in cleaning q common sewer

proved fatal had not a young girl, q
servant in the family. with courage and
humanity that would have done honor
to the most elevated station, at the haz-
ard OF her own life, attempted their de-
liverance.
This generous girl, who was only
seventeen years of age, was at her own
request. let down several times to the
poor men by rope. She was so for
tunate as to save two Of them pretty
easily, but in tying the third to the
cord which was let down to her for the
purpose, she found her breath falling
and was in great danger Of suffocation.
In this dreadful situation she had the
presence Of mind to tie herself by the
hair to the rope and was thus drawn up.

whose behalf she had so humanely ex-
erted herself. ...--..-
The instant she recovered she insisted
upon being let down again, but her ex-
ertions this time failed of success, for
the third unfortunate man was drawn
up dead. The corporation of the town
OF Noyon, as small token of their
appreciation. presented the heroine
with six hundred livres and conferred
on her the civic crown, with a medal
engraved with the arms OF the town,
her name and narrative OF the action,
The Duke of Orleans also sent her five
hundred livres and settled two hundred

Ipause for breath, and Jim looks at me
in amazement, gets out of step, and waits

"As if to tempt man, in order to see if he
were indeed inco.ruptible, the Mother

tones. ITO be sure it had not the classic

HALF-HoUR WITH HISTORIANS.

SOME arts of former ages have been lost,
as that of engraving on crystal stones and
granite, practiced by the Philippians, Egyp-
tians, etc., and the art of painting on glass,
practiced in the monklsh ages. Different
directions have also been given to the arts,
though each remains perfect in its way
Oriental arts are different from European,
which follows the Greek standard in sculp-
ture and the Italian in painting
The Celtic language prevailed in England
A. D. 1; the Latin was introduced about
the same tine, the Saxon prevailed from
A. D. $50 to 1866; Latin was re-introduced
by missionaries in 596; the French
was combined with English from 1866 to
1890; early English obtained foothold in
1850 and was used until 1900.
The battle of Pultowa, which broke the
power of Sweden in the affairs of Europe,

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

"A good garden is absolutely neces.
saTy to the setting Of q good table. and
a good table is one Of the essentials OF
happy home.
Lima beans should be fastened to
the poles with strings as soon as they
begin to run. They will then grow
more rapidly and permit of working
the hills.
"A horseman Of experience says
that the use OF lard between the hair
and the hoof is an excellent remedy for
quarter cracks or other imperfections
in the hoof.
Successive paintings of garden
vegetables should be made so as to
have a heightened supply throughout
the season. With sweet corn and peas
this is especially necessary.
Water the young celery plants
with solution Of pound OF salt
peter in twenty gall ons OF water.
Thin them out if too thick, and use
only the strong and stocky plants.
If one wishes to prolong the
season of sweet corn until the frosts
come, a few rows Of some early varie-
ties may be planted now. They may
furnish acceptable late picking before
frost comes.
Injury from the squash borer is
easily prevented. All the grower has
to do is to cover the vines almost to
the tip when they have begun to run.
Thus new root growth Is made from
the joints of the vines. and the borer
may do with the main root as he
| pleases.
When ornamental shrubs are out
of flower, it is well to cut away the
flower clusters and not allow the shrubs
to exhaust themselves in ripening
seed, save those with ornamental fruit.
The same may be said of herbaceous
perennials, though of these seeds are
often wanted.
According to good authority the
best time for cutting grass with ma
chine is after four o'clock in the after
noon. Any single-team farmer car
cut all the grass after four O'Clock
that he can handle the next day before
that hour, and all hay should 60 into
the barn by that time every afternoon
Cocoa tea is healthful and mex
pensive. 1t is made from the shells OF
nibs, which cost three cents pei
pound. Wet two ounces with q little
cold water. and pour over them {
quart of boiling water; cook one ant
a-half hours; strain and add quart O
milk heated to boiling. 1t should b
slightly sweetened.
Where no stock is kept, and ma
nure must be made for garden, al
excellent mode Of so doing is to begir
with pile of dirt upon which al
the waste water and refuse should b.
thrown. 1t should be covered to pre-
vent injury by rain. Each famil!
wastes enough every season to highl!

There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the pub
lie prefer Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
above the ordinary cathartlcs. 1t does not
drench and weaken the bowels, but assists
rather than forces nature to act; 1t is botan-
ic and safe; its action is never preceded by
an internal earthquake like that produced
by drastic purgative. For thirty-five
years past 1t has been household remedy
for liver, stomach and kidney troubles,
malaria and rheumatism.

taking advantage of the fact that the Or

Jim smiles, looks over my shoulder, and
we are soon lost in the mazes Of modern

reappeared but for the fact that just as we
are about stepping into the aisle, at the

my irate companion once more, and there ia

"Do wait until we get out Of here, and

A GREAT many Of our early coins, before
there was any legal authority for National
coinage here, were made IN England. The
State of Kentucky had some peculiar copper
coins which were minted in England in 1891
and bore the National motto. The United
States mint was established in 1872.

has appeared on different United States
coins, was never authorized to be so placed

private one at Newburgh, N. Y, and the
motto of the United States was first placed
on copper coin struck at that mint. Few
