While in England he published his Sparks
From the Anvil" year Book of Ma

turning home, he published his Thoughts
and Things at Home and Abroad, in
1854
Ten years later, when he had become
famous in many lands he became the
hero of a singular march, which attract
ed very general attention. He walked
the entire length of Great Britain, from
Lands End to John O. Greats House,
and back. That is, he started from
London, in the northeast and returning,
started to the southwest, lhus doubling
the entire distance both ways. His OBJ
ject was to study the people. TE7ir idea
was to study him. Plainly attired, and
carrying only a notebook and a change
of clothing in a small bundle, he set
forth, with no desire to attract attention.
Yet his march became a triumph. The
noble, the wealthy and the learned came
out to meet him on the way. The poor
and the illiterate looked upon him with
awe, but with a feeling of friendship
that few men could have inspired. That
marvellous journey-marvelous in it's I'M

significant in the history of the people

BY Hubert M. sLfanar.

The great scholar who is remembered
by many nations as t'The Learned Black
smith was one of the most interesting
and singular men our nation ever pro-
duced. He died in 1879 at the age of six
ty-nine years. He was the master of
eighteen languages, ancient and modern,
moreover, the homely wisdom Of
Franklin and the finished style of model
essayist. About half of his life was spent
abroad, where he was regarded with
great respect, but something Of good
humored curiosity. He was never mar
ried- He began to acquire his marvellous
learning when youth, employed at the
blacksmith's forge at New Britain, Conn
His learning was not superficial, but pro
found. With the languages of other ma
lions at his command, he studied their
hteratures, reading their representative
works in the original tongues. Never did
Europeans have a better object lesson
on the possibilities of the poor; for
everywhere it was known that the great
American had had bitter struggle with
poverty in his early years, and that his
vast education was almost wholly self
acquired. He possessed the strong ar
gumentative eloquence of Lincoln, and
his tongue and pen were always employ
ed in behalf Of great moral causes in the
social and political world
In 1914 he established at Worcester.

through his habit of using odd moments
for study. He had always carried a
book in his pocket. He had not allowed
any time to go to waste
There arose in Great Britain a demand
for books which the people could UNDER
stand, on great subjects, which had been
limited to college mentor condensed
books for busy people. 1t is surprising
to note the character of the men who
subsequently responded to this demand.
Gladstone wrote a popular but scholarly
book on Homer, for primer series, =
so called from its form, which enabled
the books to be CARRIE in the pocket.
Prof. Huxley wrote a primer on sci
ence. Edward Dowden prepared one on
Shakespeare. Stopford Brooke wrote one
on English literature. DR.. Mahaffy
contributed one on old Greek life. The
series was republished and extended in
the United States. All felt the influence
of 1.-THE Learned Blacksmith. Every
bouy began to read something of real
value.
Accounts of Mr.. Burritt's march Were
published in England in The eos, together
with other books from his pen, for oil
and young.
One of the most characteristic books
published in this country was his Ten
Minute Talks which appeared in '73.
Mr.. Burritt was in Ireland in lS47, AMI
devoted his energies to securing from
America relief for the sufferers from the
terrible famine of that year He had
much to do with the peace congress which
met in Brussels in 49, From 81 to the
outbreak of the war he advocated in
this country the cause of Compensated
emancipation. Mr.. Burritt made the

Even in common cold mustard foot
bath will often cut the progress short
and be the only medication necessary.
The first error in making and using a
mustard poultice is to have it 30 strong.
Unless a very powerful action is requir-
ed it should never be made entirely of
mustard, and if this is done it should
remain on the skin but a few seconds.
Ordinarily the mustard flour should be
mixed with one-half it's bulk Of common
flour or still better, with fiaxseed meal
and in the case of children and 'tthin-
skinned" people it should contain but
one quarter mustard. Tt should be mix
ed with boiling water and applied hot for
a cold poultice chills the surface to which
it is applied and may do more harm
than good. 1t should not be left on
more than twenty minutes at the most
and ten minutes will usually suffice to

occasionally, and when the skin ppears

If, in spite of care, burn results, ap-
ply plain ointment, or even milk, vase!ine
or sweet oil. to which may be added one
part in a hundred of carbolic acid, which
acts both as an antiseptic and an anaes-
thetic to allay pain. while the ointment
or oil protects the surface from the air
There is an art too, in properly MAX
ing mustard poultice Fold a newspa-
per several times and lay it on the ia
Bile. Upon this lay a square Of clean
cloth, and smear the mustard and flour
over this. Then lay an old linen hand
kerchief over this to modify its burning
action and prevent the mass adhering to
the skin. Then fold the edges of the pa
per over the poultice at the four sides
making sort of frame around it. If the
sin is tender it may be oiled with vase
line or sweet oil before applying the poul-
tice, or white of egg may be used in MAX
ing the poultice, or may be smeared
over skin.
mustard paper or sinapism. as it Is
called, is by far more convenient and
clearly than a poultice. and its action is
less harsh, so that it may be kept In
place longer and thus exert gentle ac-
ton for longer time. 1t is made as fol-
lows: Mix one ounce of powdered mus
tard with about two ounces OF solution
Of gutta percha, and. having put this in
shallow pan, pass strips of thick ma
Mia paper over its surface, so as to cover
one side with the mass in a thin coating
Before applying 1t, immerse it in warm
water for few seconds. Another way
to make an extenporaneous mustard ma
per is to thoroughly saturate piece OF
