alone of all the conspirators escaped
the fiat of the Polish law.
Two of the conspirators, Strawenski
and Lowenski, accused him very bitter

him as they assembled the scaffold.
But Count Kolinski answered the
charge boldly. He said the other con-
ipirators abandoned him. He could not

discovered that Stanislaus was inclined

political opinions and practices might
be, he at least had not lied in this and
was ever, as far as ne was able to be, the
good friend of those who supported
him. At least Count Kolinski declared
that the "man" was greater than the
"opinion."
If these declarations were influenced
by fear, l am sure that Count Kolinski
had good, prudent reasons for his con-

ture of the strange scene between king
and conspirator, of the rainy night i'll
the wood. l fear l have not made the
scene SO clear as the account Casimir
Pulaski gave of the adventure that be-
gan with the abduction in the street of
the Capuchins.
On the last night of Casimir Pulaski's
life, as l have said, he told me this.
The morrow was to bring the fatal as
sault before Savannah. Possibly the
whole scene is more vivid to me on
account of that memory. for Count
Pulaski, although we were very jealous
of foreigners, was a most excellent cap
tain, as his achievement in the southern
department showed.
That he served with us at all was n
tirely due to the adventure of which I
have given a poor enough description,
and in which, although it led to his
Punishment, he himself had no part.
Although l have heard many stories to
the contrary, | have no reason to doubt
the strict truth of this statement, for in
my Owl experience l ever found CAST
mir Pulaski a man of his word.

DRESS PARADE.

A gray feather boa is one of the necessi-
ties of a fashionable outfit just at present.
A homespun vol material in a new
weave, very loose and thin, like grenadine,
Is IN the market. 1t comes In stripes,
and Is made up over the inevitable taffeta
silk lining.
Swiss embroidered muslin of the finest
KIND Is made up into dainty summer
gowns over silk Innings, and pretty figured
lawns are tucked from the knee to the
deep hem as they were years ago.
Transparent effects play "a large part in
summer millinery, and null, chiffon, net
and tulle are shirred into the prettiest
shaped hats, with both lightness in color
and weight to recommend them to favor.
Chiffon dresses, once worn exclusively
Tor evening, have appeared among the day
gowns, and pink, yellow, green, mauve
m white chiffon Is made up with gath
cred or accordion plated founces to the
waist.
Ribbon belts made of two lengths Of rib
bon folded and crossed on the hips, SO that
they form points back and front, are a
useful accessory of dress, since they are
boned and hooked in front, and consequent
ly are always in place.
Lace is more in demand than ever, and
the woman who has a lot of old real lace
is to be envied. Yet the limitations are
exquisitely fine, and the art of producing
pretty effects with inexpensive lace is we'll
known to the dressmakers.
The latest sleeve is cut in one piece,
small gigot shape. Two plaits are folded
at the elbow on the underside, and the
seam is arranged well under the arm,
while plaits in from at the top throw up a
little fullness, which forms the puff

TAKING MEDICINE.

Acids, as a rule, should be given be-
tween meals. Acids given before meals
check the excessive secretion of the acids
of the gastric juice.
Iodine or the iodides should be given on
an empty stomach. If given during diges-
ton, the acids and starch alter and weak
en- their action.
Irritating and poisonous drugs, such as
salts OF arsenic, copper, zinc and iron,
should be given directly after meals.
Oxide and nitrate of silver should be
given after the process of digestion is end
ed. If given during or close after meals,
the chemicals destroy or impair their &C
ton. Potassium permanganate also should
not be given until the process of digestion
is ended, as organic matter decomposes it
and renders it inert.
The active principle of the gastric juice
is impaired and rendered inert by tannin
and pure alcohol; hence they should never
be given until after the close of digestion.
Malt extracts, cod liver oil, the phos-
pilates, ETC., should be given with or di-
rectly after food.
A recent writer gives these hints on
medicine taking. OF coursen no drug should
be taken without advice of a physician,
but when a special tonic has been pre-
scribed these rules are useful as to the
best time for administering it.

THE CYCLOPS.

1900 species, and an average sized
tumbler Of drinking water will contain
from 500 to 1000.
But do not be alarmed and proceed to
forswear adams ale'' for some more
potent beverage. They are so infinitely
tiny that if it were possible for a man
to drink all the water that ran through
his tap in a week he would not have
consumed more than one hundredth
part of an ounce of foreign matter.
One Of the most common organisms
found in water is the amuba. It is one
of the lowest forms of animal life, be-
ing really nothing more than a piece of
jelly. Amoebe are quite as nutritious
as gelatine, and when it is reflected
that it would take about 80, 600, 900 Of
them to make a decent sized pudding
no n need shudder if he unconsciously
drink a couple in a glass of water.
Another wild looking but perfectly
harmless little beast is the sun animal
Guile. 1t is also jellylike, and the formi-
dable spines are softer than the finest
down.
The infusoria are among the prettiest
as well as the smallest of all micro-or-
ganisms. They average about one-two-
thousandths of an inch in diameter, and
an army corps of them would find no
difficulty in drilling on the point Of a
needle. They make good infnitesimal
fish food. They car make water very
unpleasant to drink by imparting to it
a fshy taste and odor, but to do this
there must be at least 400, 900 in each
cubic inch of water, whereas up to now
there have never been found in ordinary
drinking water more than /, ZOO per Gu
bic inch.
Perhaps the most pleasing creatures
yet discovered in the water we drink,
and the kind most calculated to shake
the firmness Of wen the stanchest of
teetotalers, is the cyclops.
1t is a member of the great family Of
c%rustacea, to which Holsters and shrimps
and crabs belong, and is exactly like
them in shape. If the one shown in the
sketch could be made one thousand
times as big as he is, he would be as
large as a shrimp.
Among the microscopic plants found
in ordinary drinking water are many
very beautiful forms. One Of the com
monest is the desmid, which is exactly
like a tiny cabbage. 1t is probable,
too, that in proportion to its size it is
quite as nutritious.
The diatOms are another very COM
mon class Of water plant and present
an endless variety of forms. Some of
them glide slowly to and fro like fairy
boats; others are in chains and many
live together in colonies. They all have
glass cases, beautifully marked.
In fact, they are mere minute specks
of jelly with the thinnest of glass walls
and are warranted not to scratch.
The only really dangerous classes of
PLANTS to be found in drinking water
belong to the bacteria. Many of these,
however, are not at all harmful. They
live and thrive and flourish in our bod
les just as they do in their native ele-
ment, but we feel no i'll effects.
But once let the typhoid germ, or the
diphtheria bacillus, or the still more
deadly plant that is responsible for
cholera find lodgment in our systems
and we have inadvertently admitted a
poison producing agent which not all
the medical skill will be able to elimi-
nate until it has run its course.-New

1t is a popular fallacy that zach drop
OF water we drink is teeming with more

time a thirsty man consumes a glass of
NATURES beverage he runs the risk of

THE WAYSIDE INN
Made By LonsfellOw and Now
Becoming Popular.


Iongfellow's famous Wayside Inn is
becoming a veritable Canterbury for
literary pilgrims, says the Springfield
Republican. The old Howe tavern,
known all over the world from the
TALES of a Wayside Inn was re-
opened this spring as a summer resort,
and it has made the town OF Sudbury
a very popular place Though the sea-
son is still young. says a writer in
the Boston Herald, over thousand
pilgrims have found their way to the
hostelry. The members of the Long
fellow family have taken great interest
in the reopeneing of the old tavern, and
Mrs. Rich and Henry Dana and Mrs.
Annie Longfellow Thorpe have been
among the first guests.
A great Transformation has taken
place in the inward appearance of the
tavern. The rooms are now enriched
by countless examples of antique fur
niture and china, paintings and brio
a-brac worth several thousand dollars.
The host of the tavern, Edward r. Le-
mon, has been collecting these articles
for a number of years.
Among those of historic interest are
the Howe coat of arms, alluded to in
the Tales; a mirror owned by Squire
Lyman Howe, the landlord in Longfel-
lows time; a window pane written on
with a diamond by Maj. William Moli-
nd "a a
reau used by Squire Howe; a thimble
of Miss Jerusha, a sister of Squire Ly-
man Howe; an engraving of the land
ing of the British troops at Boston,
the work of Paul Revere; an original
silhoutte of Gen. George Washington,
by Annesley; chair once owned by
John Adams; an engraving of the
Boston massacre; a powder horn, can
teen and bayonet used in the War of
the Revolution by Obadiah Perry Of
Sudbury; andirons of ancient pattern
taken from the Walker garrison-house,
the only remaining structure of its
kind in the town; an old jug used by
General Gansevoort of GanSeyOOrt,
Saratoga County, n. Y; portrait en-
craving of James Madison; an oil
portrait of Thomas Jefferson; a port
raft in oil of Bishop Thomas Berkeley,
the philosopher, and an old portrait of
Capt EIeazer Giles, privateersman of
Beverly.
In the old taproom, or the main Of
flee, may be seen 13 chairs of antique
patterns, original furnishings of Adj
miral Farragut's flagship Hartford; a
desk owned and used by Daniel Web
ster in Hanover, N. H.; an engraving
by Sharp, after John Trumbull, of the
sortie made by the garrison of Gibral-
tar on the morning of November 81,
1881; an engraving by Sharp, after
John Singleton Copley, of the siege and
relief of Gibraltar, published in 1910;
four lanterns, two ancient clocks and
many other curiOsities.
The new proprietor of the Wayside
Inn has named his different rooms in
honor Of famous characters. There are
the ones selected: Washington, Paul
Revere, LOngfellow, Ole Bull, Howe,
Parsons, Lafayette, Emerson, Thoreau
and Greene.

AN ARCTIC VISION.
Written by Bret Harte at the time o

Written by Bret Harte at the time or
the Alaska purchased
Where the short-legged Esquimau
Waddles in the ice and snow,
And the playful polar bear
Nips the hunter unaware,
Where by day the track the ermine
And by night another vermin
Segment of the Frigid Zone,
Where the temperature alone
Warns on st. Elias's cone;
Polar dock, where Nature slips
From her ways her icy ships,
Let the news that flying goes
Thrill through all your Arctic foes,
Till the tidingS circling round
Every bay of Norton Sound,
Throw the vocal tide wave back.
On the spot where Eugene Sue
Led his wretched Wandering Jew,
Stands a form whose features strike
Russ and Esquimau alike,
He it is whom SkaldS of old
In their Runic rhymes foretold;
Lean of flank and lank Of jaw
See the real Northern Thor!
See the awful Yankee leering
Just across the Straits OF Behring;
On the drifted snow, too plain
Sinks his fresh tobacco stain,
Just beside the the deep lnden-
Tation of his number 10.
Leaning on his icy hammer
Stands the hero of this drama,
And above the wild ducks clamor
In his own peculiar grammar
Lo, the Arctic prologue rises:
wall, 1 reckon faint so bad
Seem twas all they had,
True, the Springs are rather late
And early Falls predominant;
But the ice crops pretty sure
And the air is kind of pure;
There's a right smart chance for fu1
chase
All along this recent purchase,
And unless the stories fall,
Every fish from cod to whale;
Rocks, too; mebbe quartz; let's see
'Twould be strange if there should be
Seems I've heard such stories told;
Eth! Why, bless you-yes, it's gold"
While the blows are falling thick
From his California pick,
You may recognize the Thor
OF the vision that l saw
Freed from visionary glamor,
See the real magician's hammer.
