Many Gsniusos IIave Boon Deficient In
Mental and Moral Health.
DIR. James Weir observes that me-
chanical geniuses, or those who deal
mainly with material facts, do not, as
a rule, show any signs of mental de-
generation. In proof of this, says the
London Public Opinion, one need only
instance Darwin, Calico. Edison,
Maxim, Watt. Rumsey, Howe, etc. 1t
is only the genius OF sestheticism, the
genius of the emotions, that is gener-
ally accompanied by unmistakable
signs OF degeneration. Swinburne's
poems show the mental bias OF their
author, who is described as peculiar
and eccentric. Many of the men
who have aided in making
the worlds history, were VIC
tins OF epilepsy, as was Julius
Caesar, military leader. statesman and
author. Manv men OF genius have
sufferedfrom choleric and spasmodic
movements, notably Lenau, Monies
quieu, Button, DR.. johnson, Thomas
Campbell, Napoleon and Socrates.
Suicide, essentially symptom OF men,
tai disorder, has carried Off many a
man OF genius, including such immor-
tails as Chatterton, Blount, Hayden,
Give and David. Alcoholism and
morphinism are now regarded as evil
dences of degeneration, and have had
as victims Coleridge, Sheridan, Steele,
Addison, Hoffman, Charles Lamb.
Burns and many others, In mon OF
genius the moral sense Is sometimes
obtunded or absent. Sallust, Seneca
and Bacon were suspected felons
Rousseau, Byron, Foscola and Caresa
were grossly immoral, and Casanova,
the gifted mathematician, was COM

No one could tell, all the servents
knew was that they had noticed the
German sitting far down the wood

start up and fall, simultaneously with
the report OF a gun.

doctor said, "All 1 can do to relieve

Indicate as surely as any physical symp.
tom shows anything, that the organs
and tissues OF the body are not satisfied
with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and il the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in state of re-
volt. Their complaints are made to
the brain, the king of the body, thu ough
the nervous system, and the result OF
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable explana-
ton OF the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have the
healthful nourishment they crave. Ner-
vousness and Weakness will then give
way to strength and health,
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rila. Read the next column.

tlves at a hard gallop. AS they came
up they refined in, wild AMI covered
with dust, he recognized among them
his brother officer Vogel, who had been
with him when he first encountered
Blanche de Gavrolles.
He hailed him in the German tongue.
Vogel looked up, and uttered an
amazed cry.

Hartmann nodded and descended to
the road, where he shook hands with
his comrade.

"Away with you. shall not break
my word"
As he spoke, largo body OF French
infantry were seen approaching along
the highway, at the rear. Hartmann
turned and hastened up the hillside
heard the word OF command, then a
clatter of horses hoofs, and the Ger
mans had disappeared. Fortunately
for him he was not perceived by the SOL
diers of the advancing body. They
passed by rapidly, every now and
then pausing to fire at the
retreating Uhlans. In a few min
utes Hartmann had reached his former
point of vantage, close to the little
chapel. Here he paused, and, look
ing down, saw the French soldiers
thronging the market place, while the
little body OF German cavalry, now
sadly decimated, galloped until they
reached the further heights. Here
they paused for a moment, and, wav-
ing their lances; uttered a hooking
yell. which was answered by the en-
envy who thronged below. Then, gal
Looping for life, they disappeared in
the direction of Havre.
Sadly and YEARLY Hartmann re-
traced his steps, and returned
tow ards the woods OF Grandpre.
What he had just seen only impressed
his soul more fully with the hopeless
ness of his passion for the beautiful
French girl. His mind was made up.
He would linger no longer in the
place. but deliver himself up at once
to the French authorities. To stay
on at Grandpre would be torture to
himself and perhaps to her.
He entered the gate and passed in
10 the shadow of the woods. AS he
did so he heard sound as OF foot
crushing the brushwood among the
trees at his side. He paused and
looked in tho direction of the sound,
but saw nothing. Reassured, he
moved slowly on, till he came in sight
of the chateau.
Behind and on each side OF him the
woods stretched dark and gloomy.
Close TO him was the trunk OF a fallen
tree; he sat down thinking. Suddenly
he seemed TO hear a sound again, as
of some one moving in the wood close
TO him. He turned his head and this
time saw. glazing from the foliage,
what seemed pair of human eyes.
The next moment there was a flash. a
sharp report. He staggered to his
feet, and, with low cry of pain fell
forward on his face.

man to be carried instantly into the
chateau.
.'Where is the usep" muttered
AIouzel; "the man is dead"
'.Do as bid you'll" cried the little
cure; .he breathes still, poor fellow"
They carried him slowly to the
house, Father Andre himself assist
ing. AS they entered the hall with
their burden, Blanche met them, and
uttered cry OF horror.
"Who has done this?" she de-
manded.
"No one can tell" answered the
cure. There has been fighting yon-
der; that is all know"
"He is dead" she moaned, bending
over him.
Her tears fell upon his face. Then
carefully and silently, they carried
him upstairs and laid him on the bed.
They had scarcely done so when
light foot was heard upon the stair,
and DR.. Huet entered the room.

manded.
The story was soon told. Bending
over Hartmann, the doctor made a
hurried examination.

"Bring me hot water and some linen

away to seek what was required.
Now that the first shock of horror
was over, her natural self-command
asserted itself, and she was the calm
est there.
With q face white as death, but
seemingly otherwise unmoved, she
stood calmly by while the doctor did
his terrible work-probed the bullet
and dressed the wound; and when all
was over, the doctor and Blanche
stood facing each other, while the
young officer lay motionless upon the
bed.

voice. "You think he must die?"

down the further hillside galloped a
troop OF cavalry, half concealed in the
clouds raised by the horses hoofs.
Hartmann recognized them in a mo-

A scene too common in those DAYS
followed. The few struggling Franc
Tireurs who occupied the place were
speedily put 10 flight; but the armed
villagers from roof and windows con-
tinued the skirmish. AS the Uhlans
galloped along, they rode down the
