good ideas from the Toltecs, some say,
before they went to Mexico, and others
after. At any rate, they were well ad-
yanced in some of the arts and sciences,
though they were idolatrous and often
sacrificed human beings to their gods.
Here they also used very poor judgment.
If instead OF Offering up their most at
tractive young people, girls especially,
they had used the politicians as far as
they would go, the Aztecs would have
been on deck today no doubt and the
Montezumas would have been giving
pink teas ON Pennsylvania avenue.
1t is estimated that the Aztecs sacri-
feed over twenty thousand people annu-
ally to their gods, notwithstanding the
fact that these gods had repeatedly
shown their total inability to attend to
things. History tells nowhere of a more
inadequate set of gods than those en-
ployed and paid by the Aztecs. The
Aztec god was also complete artistic
failure, being excessively plain. He was
also very unsuccessful socially. All that
he could do successfully was to accept
the bleeding sacrifice of innocent school
children, look pleasant and scare the
farm horses.
The fortress near Newark is only one
of several peculiar earthworks regard
ing which we have no authentic history.
They may have been erected by the
Aztecs, the Toltecs or the WoOdtecs.
No man can tell. Only few have tried
to do so, and they did not know.
Newark has the most desirable jail in
the state Of Ohio, and possibly in the
United States. It is built of cut stone,
in a modern and artistic manner, with a
beautiful porch, handsome lawns around
it, and in every way resembles the dwell
ing of wealthy merchant instead OF the
calaboose of a city.
Criminals come here for hundreds Of
miles to be incarcerated. Men contem-
plating crime try to arrange it so that
the offense may be committed in Newark
and themselves also. 1t is certainly one
of the most neat and attractive jails that
l have ever seen, and l have made Jail
life close study for years. While IL
France l visited facsimile of the old
Bastile, which had been reconstructed
exactly by French architect.
The Bastile was built in 1870 by
Charles V. It was the state prison. The
stones of the old Bastile are now used in
paving the streets at the forks of the
road in Paris, called the Place de la
Bastile, or where the Place runs into one
the Rues. Paris is the greatest town for
Rues that have ever seen.

pRISON SrunIES

The Bastile had eight towers, five
stories high, in which prisoners could be
confined and be entirely cut off from the
rest, and even the prison authorities did
not need to know they were there.
Here literary people who had written
pieces for the papers over the signature
of 'EVeritas" were incarcerated for weeks
and months and years, only to be at last
beheaded by the light running and noise
less guillotine. Those who sassed the
administration were gathered in by
means of the Letter de Cdchet, and that
was sufficient. We should be glad and
proud that we live in a land where one
can have not one trial alone, but seven
or eight, together with an arrest of judg-
ment and executive clemency.
The Bastile was destroyed by the
French revolutionists July IA, 1889, and
now it is the great national holiday
July Il all the French yeomen and ALI
ance people throng the streets, bringing
their lunch with them, including a long,
black bottle of sour wine, with which
they fill themselves in wild and inef-
fectual effort to get intoxicated.
On this day also the beggars and Grip
pies of France are permitted to invade
Paris, and one will see a greater assert
ment of excrescences and deformities
than in New York hospital in a life
time. Remunerative assesses and in
durable sores are brought out on the
beautiful boulevards, and the Cl>Emps
Elysees swarms with beggars whose
limbs are so crooked that they seem to
be trying to climb up their trunks. Odd
and whimsical wens start out from these
people on the slightest provocation, and
curious wounds are utilized to rake in
the centimes. One man had a bullet
hole in his trachea, or windpipe. By
closing his mouth and nose and inserting
the mouthpiece of bugle in this hole
he was able to play tune pretty we'll,
and he seemed to have a crowd around
him most of the time.
He told me that he was very thankful
because kind Providence had provided
him with such a convenient slot, as it
were, for people to put their francs and
confines into.
Winter grain is looking especially
well in Ohio, and the green hillsides are
dotted with bright new lambs. The
coming summer bids fair to be the best
that the farmers have ever experienced.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurrable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a To-
cal disease, and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

THE BLUEGRASS PLOT.
IWrltten for the HERALp.l

Written for the HERALD.
Oh, the bluegrass plot in the old back lot,
Where played in the days long gone!
Where the sweet grass grew meath the morn

And my life was a summer morn.
The rose bush spread DER porch overhead,
And the wrens twitter'd low in the caves /;
But the birds are fed and the roses are dead
And around lie the heap of the leaves.
oh, the green grass plot in the old back lot,
How l long to be there once more!
With the calves in the shade the elm tree
made,
And my mothers form at the door.
Where the brook brawled along with q sweet
And played with my dog in his glee.
TIL l thought all the CLEAN of the sun and
Was made for my dog and for me!
oh, the blue grass plot in my fathers lot,
How 1 long for your cool quiet shade!
When the sun went down and the crescent
crown
or the moon rose over the glade,
How we played on the sheen Of thy dewy
With shout and a laughter wild,
Till called to our beds where three weary
Soon slept the sweet sleep of the child.
Oh, tho bluegrass plot in the old back
lot,
Oh, the mem'ry of childhood days!
They're bright as light in an endless night,
And sweet as the hearth stone blaze!
They come with the thrill of a face that Is
And a voice that made us CULVER,

some times prove exceedingly prof.
table, but only when given extra care
and feed and intelligently handled.
Not only must the dams be we'll fed,
given comfortable quarters and rich,
but not heating food, but the lambs
must early be taught to eat little
chop feed mixed with ground oil
cake, and thus put on much more
flesh as they grow in size. Only the
plump, thick fieshed lambs COM
mand the top prices. A thin lamb il
