What followed is described by Lamartine: “The mysteries of this state prison were unvelled—its bolts broken—its iron doors burst open—its dungeons and subter- ranean cells penetrated—trom the gates of the towers to their very deepest foundations and their summits. “The iron rings and chains, rusting in thetr strong ma- sonry, Were pointed out, from which the victims were never released, except to be tortured, to be executed or to die. On those walls they read the names of prisoners, the dates of their confinement, their griefs and their prayers—miserable men, ‘who had left behind only these poor memorials in their dun- geons to attest their prolonged existence and their innocence! “The people ran from dungeon to dungeon; they pene- trated into the most sécret recesses and caverns, to carry thither the word of release, amd to bring a ray of the free light of heaven to eyes long lost to it; they tore the locks from the heavy doors, and those heavy doors from the hinges; they car- © ried off the heavy keys; all these things were displayed in triumph in the open court. “They then broke into the archives and read the entries of committals, These papers, then ignominiously scattered, were afterward collected. They were the annals of arbitrary times, the records of the fears and vengeances of ministers, or of the meaner intrigues of their favorites, here faithfully kept to justify a late exposure and reproach.” “The siege of the Bastile, weighed with which in the His- torical balance, most other sieges, including that of Troy Town, .. are gossamer, cost, as we find in killed and mortally wounded, on the part of the Beslegers, some Highty-three persons; on the part of the Besieged, after all that straw-burning, fre-pumping “and deluge of musketry, One poor sojitary Invalid, shot stone dead on the battlements! The Bastile Fortress, like the City of Jericho, was overturned by miraculous sound.” __ , To overturn the Bastile of Militarism has taken millions of lives, hundreds of billions of dollars, the suffering and sacrifice of the best Ypart of the human race for five years and their endurance and hard work for nobody can say how many more years to come. In celebrating Bastile Day, 1919, the French and their Allies, will nevertheless feel the great analogy: surrender their swords and stack their.guns. : ‘As for their archives, we are just coming to them.

EN DAYS AGO the people of France joined in the celebration of the Fourth of July. Today the people of the United States join in the celebration of the Fourteenth of July— Bastile Day—the great national holiday which recalls to France the - birth of her freedom. It is @ hundred and thirty years since the July morning when that pottering old royal clock-tinkerer, Louis XVI., sat bewildered at Versailles while the cry “To the Bastile” rang through Paris and the prison governor, De Launay, with his hundred guards, got ready ‘Pehind his nine-foot-thick walls to defend the infamous fortress. 4 and symbol of autocracy and oppression, it held out oniy hours against the fire and fury of the patriots.

Kaspar's work was done—we are speaking of Mr. Jarr as old Kaspar now, but he, with his grandchild Wil- helmene, was NOT aitting in the sun—Mr. Jarr, batting in this case for old Kaspar of the famous poem, had no grandchild. Anyway, the sun was tired of saving daylight and had knocked off for the night. Mrs. Jarr was “all dolled up” as Mr. Jarr expressed it. And he was almost 80. They were going out to a “sum- mer shimmie show.” For that's all a summer show is these days—the “shimmie,” talked about, joked about, sung about and danced about. Mr. Jarr couldn't find his patent leather pumps. Maybe he hadn't any —and there was no buckle on the back of big waistcoast. “How do I look?” he asked as cams into the boudoir of his bride. “Ob, all right,” said Mrs. Jarr care- lessly. She was Ufting on her dress over her hat—a proceeding that filled her husband with awe—the thought occur- ting to ‘him that if he was of the su- perior sex and had had his hair builded up by the local rhagnificent young lady who came at command by telephone to build up ladies’ hair from material on the premises, he would STEP into his dress. Particularly would he do this had he put on his hat first, as Mrs Jarr, woman-like, had done. ad Mrs. Jarr must have sensed that his gaxe wes one of inquiry for she oaid: “Please don't stare at this old hat! I should have a new one; but, as I haven't, I'm wearing. this poor old thing that I have made over so often that it looks as: though it had been through ‘the war!

But all this comes under the head of pleasure. Mr. Jarr hoped she would not notice his shoes. They were the common or garden variety of black shoes and had not been shined since R-34 made the big hop. Mr. Jarr was glad to see that Mrs. Jarr did not notice his shoes, It would have spoiled her evening. As for himself, he felt as the peacock is said to feel—proud of the rest of his personal appearance, but humill- ated when he looks down at his usly kicks, Mr. Jarr hoped Mrs, Mud- ridge-Smith and her husband wouldn't notice his shoes either when they came to call for him in their town car to take the Jarrs to the shimmie show and pay the German in- demnities in the way of the evening’s expenses. % Mrs, Mudridge-Smith and her hus- band noticed nothing, but the chauf- feur, who was glancing with a sneer at the Jarrs emerging from the mod: erate-priced-elevatoriess. no-hall-boy- flats they lived in, spotted those fatal shoes and their dull, heel-condition, the minute Mr, Jarr came down the front steps.

Dogs are popu- larly supposed to be the only animals that convey hydrophobia, but it also |ocours in cats, goats, sheep, wolves, jae well as other warm-blooded animals, which are therefor equally dangerous while rabid. The nature of the poison is unknown, but it re- sides in the saliva. Not every bite of an animai suffering from rabies produces the disease, it is only when the wound inflicted is, at the same time, inoculated with rabid saliva it absorbs the moisture and the animal's teeth are dry and clean when they sink into the flesh, Naturally the most dangerous bites are received upon the face, neck, hands, uncov- ered legs and feet. Inféction may also occur through & Dreak in the skin that may accident- ally come in contact with the mad animal's saliva, as well as through scratches inflicted by saliva-covered claws. Hydrophobia is not a common dis- ease and is furthermore distinctly preventable by rightly enforcing the mruzzling of dogs. The greatest num- ber of cases develop in the summer months. While the bite of a dog or & cat may be entirely harmless, it is @ wise precaution to suck the wound again and again, spitting out the | blood until certain no possible source | of contamination remains, In doubtful cases it is better to ap- ply @ tourniquet before sucking the | wound (if it is on @ limb) in order |to prevent the polson from entering | the circulation; after free suction of | the wound, -apply: tincture of iodine | iierally, exposing the parts as much as possible, Some authorities advise ' cauterizing the wound with phenol, or with a bundle of burning matohes. | Apply phenol with a swab of cotton | | Copyright, 1019, by The Press Publishing Co, (The Now Xork Breuning: Wotltd) .
