. .... aIXaHASSEE, the capital of T Florida. was for some years < the home of Prince Napoleon 7jEj?Pg) Achille Murat, son of Joachim ' ' Murat, whom Napoleon made iking of Naples. The prince and his wife were buried in the Episcopal cemetery of the town, and visitors to Tallahassee may still see their graves and also the house in which the princess lived before her marriage, with her parents, Col. and Mrs. Byrd Willis. The plantation of Prince Achille is near by, a portrait of the prince and a photograph of the princess are in the public library, and many white haired men and women are still living who remember the interesting, strangely assorted but devoted couple. Among those who remember the princess .with peculiar affection is Fanny Taylor, a very old negro woman, the daughter of Patsy Lee, who was the personal maid of Katherine Willis in Virginia before she went to Florida and was still her maid after her marriage. Patsy, with several other former slaves, was remembered in the will of the princess, and Patsy’s daughter still lives in a cabin near Bellevue, which was the last home of the princess. The cabin is new, but is on the site of the former cottage, in which were recently burned many historic and beautiful pieces 'of Murat furniture, because, as Fanny expressed it, “there waSsno mankind about to put out the fire.” The cabin is as clean as a pin, in honor perhaps of the fact that in it are gifts frrom royalty. Fanny showed a recent visitor with modest but evident pride two silver teaspoons, three forks and an old fashioned twisted gold brooch given to her mother by Princess Murat. From a wash cloth of finest birdseye linen hemmed with almost invisible stitches, and the last one ever used by the princess, Fanny, unfolded two locks of gray hair, one of the mistress and one of the maid. The last and most cherished possession displayed was a small photograph of the princess taken during the latter years of her life. Os both the prince and princess their former slave remembers many interesting incidents. One of these was the well known anecdote of how during an absence of the princess the prince dyed all the household linen, the lingerie of the princess and every dress that the servants did not hide from him a vivid pink. The dye used, tradition says, was pokeberry juice. On another occasion he invited a Tallahassee friend to stay for dinner, urging the fact that he had killed a “turkey buzzard” and was having it cooked. A sawdust pudding was another of the odd culinary conceits remembered against him. Nothing could have been more royally brilliant than th® prince’s first 20 years nor more democratically dull than the last 20 years of his life. He was six years old when Napoleon made Joachim Murat king of Naples; and as the heir to the throne little Achille was known as the prince royai of the Two Sicilies and with his younger brother, Lucien, spent a pampered childhood at the court which his father and mother established. When Achille was fourteen years Old his father and Napoleon became estranged, and at this most inopportune time the king of Naples also lost the loyalty of his Italian subjects. In nn effort to regain his power by force he was captured and executed and his wife and sons were sent as prisoners to Austria. It was after several years of wanderings over Europe that Prince Murat drifted to America at the age of twenty, and it was in Florida that he spent most of the remainder of his short life. When Colonel Murat, as he was called by most of his American

Byrd Willis, who had sought and made his fortune in the new territory of Florida. Mrs. Gray had married a Scotsman at the age of fifteen and was left a widow at sixteen, and as her child also died she returned to live with her parents at Willis hall, near Fredericksburg, Va.» and accompanied them when they moved to Florida. The Willis home in Tallahassee on South Monroe street, near the capitol, was a center of the social life of the state. The beauty and charm of the young Virginia widow, who was then only twenty-two years old, immediately captivated the son of Caroline Bonaparte and his courtship seems to have been as ardent as might be expected from a temperamental Frenchman. However, the young woman was not only beautiful and wealthy, but her mother was Mary Lewis, a niece of George Washington, and not even the dazzling fact that Colonel Murat’s mother was a sister of Napoleon could blind the eyes of the blue blood of Virginia to the knowledge that his father, Joachim Murat, was the son of an obscure Innkeeper, Beside which the prince was eccentric to a degree that was almost ill bred. He spoke a burlesque of the English language and was perhaps easily affected, but certainly often affected, by wine. He was, however, an intensely interesting companion, and was eagerly sought socially and valued as a sincere and unchanging friend. The courtship of the greatest belle and the only prince in Tallahassee was watched with interest by the friends of the couple and with approval by the parents of the young -woman; and when the devotion and undisguised admiration of the prince finally won there were hearty congratulations and good wishes for them from many parts of the United States as well as their adopted state. Mrs. Gray and Colonel Murat were married July 30, 1826, and went to live at Lipona, his large plantation in Jefferson county, the name of which was transposed to Napoli, the city with which he had so many associations. It was one of the most beautiful estates in Florida and near the township in the same country which was given to Lafayette by the United States government on his visit in 1824. The prince becoming restless on his Florida plantation, he and his American princess went abroad, and being forbidden to enter France and Italy they went to “Little Paris,*' as Brussels is called, where they epent two delightful years. The prince, who was t close personal friend of King Leopold, was made a colonel in the Belgian army and had command of a regiment of lancers. Both he and the princess were Immensely popular, too popular, in fact, for the fine Bonaparte face of Prince Achille was so much like that, of his uncle, the great Napoleon, that he was often stopped on the street and embraced by old soldiers, who fell on their knees before him. The Powers saw and trembled for fear that he might be able to enlist soldiers enough to restore his family to their former thrones, and his regiment was disbanded. Prince Achille made a memorable address to his men, speaking to them in seven different languages, one after another, and then

ing somewhat pensively at the gift, the Czar asked him what he was thinking about. The artist replied that he was thinking of the time it would take to color the pipe—probably five years. Learning that the artist would not be leaving the country for fifteen days, the Czar took the pipe back again, and sent it to the Palace guard-house, where the following “order of the day” was issued; “Under pain of the knout none must smoke any other pipe but this.

returned with his wife to his Americas freedom. During a year’s stay in London the beauty and the charming personality of the princess made a great impression among English nobility, and they were of real financial assistance to members of the exiled Bonaparte family, especially Louis Napoleon, the cousin of Prince Achille. The following year Prince Louis Napoleon came to America expecting to visit his “Cousin Kate” and “Cousin Achille” at their southern home, but be was recalled from New York by the illness his mother. The prince, with ths active mind, became at one time very much interested in the study of law, to which he devoted his entire time and quickly mastered it. He was admitted to the bar in New Orleans and formed a partnership with Mr. Garnier, and for several years made his home in the congenial French city, where he divided his time between his beautiful town house and a large sugar plantation which he bought on the Mississippi river. Not understanding the culture of cane, he lost a great deal of money, but learned at the same time a great deal about the people and their life, which he recalls in his books on America. Returning to the ever cherished neighborhood of Tallahassee the prince and princess spent a number of years at Econchattie, another of their plantations, and it was then that the fighting blood of the Bonapartes was aroused by the continuous outrages of the Indians, and the prince in command of a regiment fought with Americans for American rights. The prince was a brave and daring soldier, quick, firm and resourceful, but his wife proved herself a mate worthy of a Bonaparte by following him through every peril of the campaign, nursing £im through an almost fatal case of fever and remaining with him until the bloody little war was over. ” At lovely Econchattie, with its giant live oak trees hung with long gray moss and the whole world about it fragran| with flowers, Prince Achille Murat died April 15, 1847, and it was at Econchattie that his widow spent the summers during the twenty years she survived him. She died August 6, 1867. Bellevue, just two miles from Tallahassee, is more closely associated with the princess after the death of Prince Murat. She bought the place and with her favorite slaves settled there to spend the remainder of her life. It is a pretty white cottage of four immense high pitched rooms, set on a beautiful hill overlooking Tallahassee to the east. An oleander lined walk leads from the road to the doorway, and all about the house are enormous magnolia trees, covered most of the year with big white blossoms, red berried holly trees and grapefruit trees which at all seasons are beautiful with either fragrant waxy blossoms or pale yellow fruit The entertainments given by the princess at Bellevue were noted all over the south for their lavish hospitality, and were enhanced perhaps in interest by the service of solid gold and the imperial livery of the Bonapartes. The privilege of using the red and gold livery was bestowed with $40,000 on his “Cousin Kate” by Louis Napoleon after he had become emperor. In the cottage were also a marble bust of Caroline Bonaparte, many exquisite pieces of French furniture and other handsome gifts presented to her by Napoleon when, with the other members of the Bonaparte family, she went to Paris for his coronation. On many occasions she was selected by him for especial honors and welcomed as a princess of France. On one occasion she was Invited to a court function at the Tuileries and was told that she would know her position at table by the rank of the person with whom she went in to dinner. As one after the other of the dignitaries present passed out before her to dinner her heart sank at the sight of the few nonentities left Her unaffected surprise and delight greatly pleased the emperor when he himself came quickly in, offered her his arm and seated her at the table. The emperor was never tired of listening to the animated stories of his American cousin and he and Eugenie begged her to make her home in France, but Mme. Murat could not forget the friends left in Florida and that many plantations and slaves needed her personal attention, so she returned to America and to Bellevue. When the close of the war left Mme. Murat penniless, although possessed of thousands of acres of fertile farm lands, and she and her several hundred slaves faced starvation, the emperor came to her assistance and gave her a large yearly income, on which she not only lived in great comfort but with which she did a vast deal of charity, helping many stricken families and friends in Florida and Virginia. Mme. Murat made another visit to Paris in 1866, where she spent a year in an effort to regain her failing health. She became seriously ill on her return and after a long illness at Bellevue she went to Econchattie, where she died.

On account of his wide experience is Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is. without doubt, the -highest authority >n all these subjects. Address all inquiries io William A. Radford, ‘ No. 178 West Jackson boqlevard, Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. An eight-room, full two-story house, with a splendid cellar .and a good attic, is what every large family needs. There are a great many different styles of eight-roomed houses. Eight rooms seem to be about the size required by business men in the smaller towns and country places. A great many farmers are now building new houses. Farmers .have been prosperous of late, and they are aslng considerable money in building. A farmer likes to have a house look well, and to have conveniences for loing the work; that is, live, up-to-late farmers do. There are plenty bf the other kind, but they are not building houses like this. This house is about as large as necessary on the average farm. It is ibout as large as a furnace will heat sconomically, being 35 feet in width by 49 in length, exclusive of porches. The stairway to the attic is closed so that no heat is wasted in that direction. A hot-air furnace is the best means of heating up a house of this size. Anything larger should have hot water or steam. There is a great advantage In hot air, from the fact that it furnishes ventilation; most houses in the country arp shy on ventilation. Members of farmers’ families in. some rural districts are more subject to lung diseases and pulmonary troubles than the inhabitants of towns or cities. Physicians in country places say harsh things about some farmers, claiming that the prevalence of consumption in rural districts is due to living in houses without proper ventilation and heating; also that the extra burden thrown upon females by want of conveniences for doing housework Is a contributing factor. They name farmers who are very careful of their horses and cattle, but very neglectful of wife and daughters. They are even bold enough to say that the first care with such men

' IS

seems to be to provide good feed, shelter, and good stables for the stock, and the old house must wait until everything else is attended to. In the meantime the women folks are obliged to work in a drafty kitchen, and to sleep in bedrooms that are not heated. The result Is that they spend the night in close rooms with the windows shut In order to keep warm.

Some of these physicians claim that there would be no difficulty in keeping -the girls and boys on farms if

Most of us are acquainted with farmers who are" very quick to invest in the best machinery, and plenty of it, for the purpose of relieving their own end of the work, but who are very niggardly in providing household helps and conveniences. It is all right, of course, to pay a great deal of attention to the comfort of the farm stock; that ,1s humane, and it is profitable; but the family Is worth more than the animals. The first consideration should be bestowed on the house, and the barns should be a close second. Water supply, heat, ventilation, drainage, plumbing, laundry arrangements, bathroom facilities, disposal of sewage and garbage, and ventilation of the cellar, are very Important topics for consideration. They make for health; but, when neglected, they often lead to disease. The verandas on this house are especially attractive when It,is built In the country. JW? I» fl#

ease and refinement which goes especially well with a good farm that is properly managed. The front veranda for hammocks and easy chairs, with a porch parlor for callers in the; summertime, is just right. The sldoj porch, having a door from the kitchen* and another from the sitting room; makes a splendid work room for hot weather, while the sitting room pro- J jection makes sufficient division between porches. The back stair In this house reaches from the cellar to the attic, one flight; over another all the way up—an arrangement that is convenient and X.

The cellar isi big enough to partition off a storage room for fruits and vegetables in dis-. ferent compartments. House drains should connect with a septic tank. A farm house septio tank, when properly constructed, is just as good as a city sewer, and it is no more trouble. What is known as* the septic system of sewage disposal was tried out theoretically, scientifically, and practically in England years ago. It consists of two tanks—the first as nearly air-tight as possible. The liquid from this is siphoned into the second tank automatically when It fills up to a certain point. Two

kinds of bacteria are known to work tn the two tanks. The kind in the first tank require but little air; the kind in the second tank do better work when no light but plenty of air Is admitted. These bacteria destroy the solids in the sewage. A peculiar feature about this system is the fact that the solids, even greases, are reduced to a harmless deposit in the form of scum on the top of the water, with a precipitate in the bottom; and the amount of scum and precipitate does not Increase but remains the same month after month. It is not definitely known what becomes of the additional amount added each year. It disappears as if by magic. The septic tank system is not necessarily expensive. Two round holes In the ground six feet In diameter each, and six feet deep, are sufficient to take care of the sewage from a large house. These underground tanks may be made of cement, and should be connected with a siphon at least three Inches in diam eter. This siphon is a simple affair, and may consist of a U-shaped pipe, the outlet of which should be three or four inches lower than the inlet The liquid dischargetfrom the seeofid tank is clear, colorless, and almost pure water. Blind Men Swim Straight The man who Is unfortunate enough to lose his sight, or to be born blind. Is, says a medical authority, severely handicapped on dry ground, but he can, if he is a swimmer, find his way easily enough in the water. Blind people generally have a keen sense, of hearing, and they can steer themselves In the water by sound as well as an ordinary man by sight If they are swimming toward a certain point, a whistle from time to time will enable them to reach it with unerring accuracy. This fact has recently been proved by some interesting experiments. A race between blind men and ordinary swimmers on a lake resulted In a victory for the former. Normal swimmers lose much time in raising their heads for the purpose of keeping their eyes on the winning post This also prevents them from concentrating all their attention on speed.

INIEDNATIONAL SUNDAYSdIOOL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director ot Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.)

LESSON FOR AUGUST 24. THE BREAD OF HEAVEN. LESSON TEXT—Ex. 16:2-15. GOLDEN TEXT “Jesus saith unto them, I am the broad of life.”—John 6:35. The Psalm of praise (Ex. 15) is followed by the sorrows of sin. Aftet j leaving the bitter waters of Marah (!&•:23-26) the Israelites encamped for a time at Elim (v. 27). They then eni tertd the wilderness of sin (16:1). I This name is certainly suggestive for ’ it was the sin of unbelief that lay be- ; hind their murmurings. I. Despair, vv. 2, 3. We sometimes ; censure the Israelites for their com- | plaining within a month after their i miraculous deliverance from the Red Sea, but if we examine ourselves I closely we will not be surprised at ! their lack of faith nor at the Savior’s delight when he discovered faith I (Luke 7:9). Their song, Chapter 15, of deliverance has scarcely died on : their lips when a new danger con fronts them, viz., that of privation. How many today fail at just this point, and think only of the “flesh-pots.” They complained more over the privations of God’s service than over the slavery of Pharaoh, though as a matter of fact the man in Egypt does not have “bread to the full.” John 4:13, Eccl. 1:8. Truly Moses and Aaron ; had a task on their hands for “the i whole congregation murmured.” They ■ had to bear the brunt of it all for they j were God’s visible representatives I (Ps. 69:9; Rom. 15:3). Human na- ! ture is ever the same. Rather to die by the hand of Pharaoh with a full j stomach than to live in a freedom ! which was accomplished by any priva- : tions. The trouble was that having i everything done for them they lacked that moral backbone, that fixedness of purpose, which a great principle inspires and moves men to suffer and to overcome. The life of slavery in Egypt had made the Israelites craven. God’s Answer. iv. 11. Deliverance, vv. 4-10. God answered their grumbling with a most gracious promise. He met their bitter cry with a bounteous provision of bread. That they might know it was he who provided, God said “I will rain bread from heaven.” But to guard against oriental improvidence or excess, they were directed to gather a day’s portion for the day (v. 4 marg.) This provision was also to be a test to see if they would obey him, “walk in my law, or no.” Some of them failed at the very first, and that which they attempted to keep over spoiled, see vy. 19, 20. To hoard is to lose, to use is to increase, Prov. 11:24, 25. To hoard wealth, whether it be temporal or spiritual, is to distrust God, and it was this very distrust which God was combating. It was a supernatural gift and was a type of Christ, John 6:31-33, 35. The manna sustained life for a day at a time; he, Christ, sustains forever, John 6:58. Notice, God did not place the manna in their mouths, each must gather, appropriate, for himself, so also must they who feed on the bread of life, Christ Jesus, and as they were to gather daily, so also must we feed anew each day on Jesus, Matt. 6:11. Furthermore, they had to gather it early in the morning otherwise the sun destroyed it, v. 21. So also we do well to get our daily portion early in the day or the chances are we still not get it at all. God also honored the Sabbath by not sending any manna, nor allowing them to garner on that day. On the other hand those who refused to make provision for that day had to go hungry, vv. 27, 28. Visible Proof. That the Israelites might realize fully that Moses and Aaron were not working some trick of necromancy, or taking advantage of some botanical or ornithological knowledge of the country, God revealed to all, at the break of day, his glory, v. 10; and that their descendants might see and know of God’s marvelous goodness and deliverance, they were commanded to fill a vessel with manna as a visible convincing proof (v. 32). Nor did this supply fail as long as it was needful, v. 35, Phil. 4:19. 111. Delight, vv. 11-16. What emotions must have filled the hearts of the Israelites when at evening they beheld the quails and in the morning the manna. The mighty God who brought them out of Egypt has again Shown his power. The manna was to teach them that “man dbes not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord,” Deut. 8:2, 3. Do not lose time speculating upon what the manna was like, simply read vv. 14-37 and Num. 11:7, 8. Strangely enough not all were satisfied with the bread from heaven (Num. 21:5) but they had to eat it or die. Some cried out for the food of Egypt, (Num. 11:5, 6) even as today some who profess to be Christians are not satisfied with Christ. As against these feelings of delight there • must have been a sense of rebuke (v. 9) when God through Aaron commanded the Israelites to “come near before the Lord” the reason was all too patent for, “He hath heard your murmurings.” Those who complain and murmur against God will surely have to answer for it. Job. 40:1; Rom. 9:20; 14:12. However, it was not with harshness that he rebuked them but with tenderness. As they beheld his glory their ‘ hearts must have been filled with remorse even as Peter was rebuked by a look from his Lord. IV. The Teaching. The gift of the manna taught the Israelites that they must depend upon God. Man not only needs spiritual relationship but material sustenance for the ihaintenance of his life. “It Is usually not so much the greatness of our trouble as the littleness of our spirits which makes us complain.”—jeremy Taylor,

Right-Handed Plants. ’ That there are right-handed plants and left handed plants has been reported to the Cambridge (England) Philosophical society by R. H. Compton. In an examination of eight varieties of two-rowed barley the first leaf was found to twist to the left in 58 per cent, of more than 12,000 seedlings, and an excess of left-handed growth was found also in millet and in oats. In corn there seemed to be no marked tendency either way. No evidence of hereditary peculiarity appears to have been obtained and no special significance of the results is pointed out. ITCHING TERRIBLE ON LIMB R. F. D. No. 3, Clarkfield, Minn.— "My trouble was of long standing.
