cause lefferson's daughter was no
longer able to keep up the property
and feared it would fall into UNI
friendly hands there was paid for
the property only $40, GOO. Now $500
000 is the lowest figure that has been
suggested as a reimbursement for
Congressman Levy and in some quar-
tcrs a price of a round million dollars
has been proposed. There is a story
atloat that Mrs. Littletou once said
to Congressman Lcvy, in private
conversation, that he could name his
own price if only he would agree to
sell.
But no real estate Spectator need
jump to the conclusion that the ideal
way to get rich quick is to buy up
the historic homes of president of
the United states and hold them until
a grateful nation arouses to it's patri-
otic duty. In the first place the progress
Is certain to be a Understanding one,
as witness the fact that Monticello has
been in the hands of the Levys for
eighty years. Moreover. tn G sale of
Monticello for fifty or one hundred
times what was originally paid for
the mansion designed and built by
the founder of the democratic party
would not tell the whole story by any
means.
When Congressman Levy in tho
year 1879 succeeded in buying the in
~tercsts of all the other heirs and be-
came sole owner of Monticello the
estate consisted of only 21S acres.
To restore it as nearly as possible to
its condition in Jefferson's time and
to carry out Jettersonian's ideas Con-
gresham Levy purchased md added
to his initial holding four adjoining
estates ag~gregating more than five
hundred acres. More than this. he
expended vast sums in restoring the
historic building which had suffered
to some extent during the civil war
and in gathering together from far
and near the original furniture and
other objects from the mansion which
had become widely scattered during
the years that had interviewed since
the death of jefferson.
And, by the way, the disposition of
the contents Of Monticello mansion,
should the government compe the
present owner to sell, is Il question
which is bothering a great many peo-
pie, who feel that the furniture, the
art objects and the relics are fully
as valuable If not moro valuable than
the mansion itself. The most emf
mont constitutional lawyers in the
country appcar to be divided in opin-
ion as to whether OF not there is legal
basis sufficient for the forcible ak
ing of Monticello, but most of them
agree that even if the supreme court
were in the end to decide that Mr.,
Levy must surrender the estate for n
air price there would be nothing in
law to compel him to part with the

little was lone to insure even their
ordinary physical comfort. The cruel
ties aof the average insane asylum
were beyond belief. A woman, Doro-
thea Dix, who first called attention
to this fact and began an active fight
for their Improvement, found human
beings confined in dark, unventilated
cells having no floor but The earth
and only loose straw supplied one a
week as bedding. This vas supposed
to be changed each week when the
patients were turned out of their cells
like. animals for exercise. Miss Dix
having had her sympathies aroused by
conditions near her W home visited
asylums and retreats for the insane
in every state east of the Rocky
Mountains. She found men and women,
often entirely naked. chained in their
cells and thrashed into submission to
the wills of their keepers, most of
HON We're both brutal and cruel.
Through her Influence, one wealthy
man was induced to give none to
put the asylum in Rhode Island, her
own state, into good condition. This
afterward served as a model to other
state asylums. The care and atten-
ton given even to the pauper insane
is largely due to this woman, who
died at an advanced g in 1887, in
Trenton, N. j., where she had been
asked to make her home in recognition
of what she had accomplished in the
reorganization of the insane asylum
of thai town.
Since Miss Dix's time other charita-
BILE women have found that their work
could be ~broadened to include the suf-
fering people in institutions of many
classes. They have proved that many
children retained as idiots can be
restored to normal intelligence by
proper education and treatment and
that they ave taken NEAR to supply
that treatment. Miss Margaret Ban
croft of Haddonfield, New Jersey. was
one of the first persons to demonstrate

fair of three rooms and three teachers,
with. no high chool or n desire for
one. Now there is a splendid high
school on the accredited list. There
are eight good, big rooms, a c%reditable
library, supply and ante-rooms, and
fine, wide halls and stairway. There
are eight-first-class teachers, four of
them in the high school, and one grade
teacher is teaching two subjects in the
high school. aside from the four regu-
lar courses, Mr.. Hoist has this year
put in a normal course for those stu
dents who wish to teach before going
to college or a university. This is the
first time that a course of this kind
has been introduced in a high school

that ever the mentally defective child
was entitled to all the education it
could assimilate. Her work has had
a most important bearing upon the de-
yelopment of the special classes for
defective children which now are a
recognized part of the public school
systems in most large cities. In Phil
adelphia, the first class for defective
children was established by the philan-
thropic women of the Civic club who
provided funds for it's support until
it's utility was so established that the
city ooh it over as a part of the pub
lie school plant.
Women have Deer responsible for
many of the movements for the i'm
provement of the health conditions of
the country. Their organizations are
the first to lend aid in any sudden
emergency. The work of the great Red
Cross society, which sends its aid to
starving China, to the wounded soldier
on the Turkish frontier as readily as
to the flood-stricken people along our
own river banks, owes it's origin to a
woman's charity. When the beloved
Cara Barton passed away las year
after long exceeding her three score
years and ten, the tributes to her
memory came from the sovereigns of
the world as well as countless thou
sands of her own country people who
had benefited by her loving work. The
work of women for temperance, for the
abolition of vice, for better living on
ditions for the poor workers, for
health, for public improvement Of
every kind, is each week branching
out into new channels of philanthropic
work.
Perhaps because their own educa-
tional advantages were so long limited,
modern women are working eagerly to
extend some opportunity to acquire an
education to those who are out of
reach of the regular schools. Last

This is a question that will come

cause of a scheme just evolved by the
present owner of Monticello. AS most
of our readers are probably aware,

estate in Virginia now rests with Hon.

Y. S. House of Representatives from
New York state and to him must be
given credit for the idea which it is

planned to carry out this spring.
Mr.. Levy's plan is nothing less than
to load all his fellow members of
congress on a special train and AXE
them to Monticello to allow the. ma
ton lawmakers to see for them
selves the condition of the place and
judge how the present owner has
cared for his precious heritage.
The real explanation of this unique
sightseeing expedition is found, of
course, in the present agitation for
the acquisition of Monticello by the
nation. Congressman Levy does not
want to sell. There are a number of
persons who think hat he ought to
be compelled to sell if he will not
do so voluntarily. In other words,
they would take Monticello by force

Deafness oannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of
the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
