annually 70Q, OO0 quinials of wool, of which
two-thirds comes from Hungary, Transylva-

CoNsuMPTIoN-This terrible disease is
commonly attributed to our climate. But
if the climate were to blame, the disease
would have been inflicted upon that, and
not upon the people. We think the fault is
in the people, and that if the people would
keep the 81 in of themselves and their chill
dreu properly washed. and abstain from
gIuttony, poison and idleness for genera
ton or two, consumption would be no mole
known than is now, in good society, the dis
ease for which scratching and sulphur are
the principle remedies.
However, consumption prevails as matters
are, and picks off the best ahd preitiest of
us, in our prime. In this state of things We
must do the best we can, piece out and
patch out the web of life, with journeys,
voyages and medicines. OF all the Eisdi-
