LIQUOR AND POVERTY.

There is no statement more frequent or

caused drunkenness il this country is the

OF squalor and wrecheoness. Those who are
atiluent or in moderate means reduce
themselves to poverty ny drink. Those
who are poor only make themselves poorer
and end in hopeless misery
Any person who has had the opporun-

Descendants of Revolutioni..s.

There lately died, and was buried
humbly, in Paris, person who de-
serves line of obituary notice, if only
by reason of his descent. This was
young man named Herault de Sechel-
les, whose great-grandfather went to
the guillotine with DGnton, Camille
Desmoulins Fabre d'Eglantine and fif-
teen other more obscure beings on
April 6, 1874. The youthful descend
ant of this Republican celebrity was
very poor, and his uncle, an old printer,
whose eyesight is nearly gone, acts as
commissionnaire before The Figaro of
fee. The descendants of Marat are
luckier than these. They are really
the ofshoots of his youngest brother,
Jean Pierre Marat. who died in 1916.
Marat's nephew, who was for long
time clerk in the land tax office at
Geneva, still lives in a green old age,
but he has suppressed the final st" in
his name. 1t is supposed that he did
this in order to escape souvenir hunters,
autograph demons, and the like.
Another nephew of Marat lives at
Saint Nazaire, and his son, bankers
clerk, is in Paris, together with his mar
ried sister. Other relatives of Marat
changed their family name and settled
in Russia. 1t is said here that Lord
Rosebery possesses most of Marat's pa
pers, which were for so long in the
faithful keeping of his favorite sister,
Albertine Marat, who, as we'll as ST.
none Evrard his mistress lived sepa-
rated from all the members of the fam
lily of the revolutionist. A descendant
of Danton is now an inspector of the
university, but, like the nephew of
Marat, he is rather averse to being in
terrogated about his notorious ancestor.
1t is also to be noticed that the survi-
wing Marats and the university in
spector are, if anything, conservative
in politics, and have never been dis
tinguished for any lively sympathy to-
ward the republic. Paris Cor. Lon

the half closed eye of one who is men

was always improving his surgical in
struments in order to abridge pain by
rapidity in operating, and thought to
minimize it at capital executions. The
principle of equality was to be demon
gtrated by the guillotine, since kings,

their heads by DR.. Guillotin's process.

also. Further on are grewsome relics

Instruments of torture, which fell into
disuse forever at the Revolution, are
grouped round the guillotine, which,
perhaps, was used as much as it was
by the revolutionists because it was a
