In about two and half minutes all
the blood contained in the human sys-
TEN, amounting in the adult to nearly
three gallons, traverses the respiratory
surface. Every one, then, who breathes
an impure atmosphere two and half
minutes has every particle of his blood
acted on by the vitiating air. Every
particle has become less vital-less capa-
bic of repairing structures, or of carry
ing on functions ; and the longer such
air is respired, the more impure it be-
comes and the more corrupted grows the
blood. Permit me to repeat that after
breathing for two and half minutes an
atmosphere incapable of properly oxy-
genating the fluids which are traversing
the lungs, every drop of blood in the
human being is more or less poisoned /;
and in two and a half minutes more,
even the minutest part of all mans fine
wrought organs has been visited and
acted upon by this poisoned fuid-the
tender delicate eye, the wakeful ear, the
sensitive nerves, the heart, the brain,
together with the skin, the muscles, the
bones throughout their structure-in
short, the entire being. There is not a
point in the human frame but has been
traversed by vitiated blood--not point

visions : Nobody is to start printing
press for books without previous per-
mission from government; if this law is
not obcyed the establishment will be
closed. In the capital the grand vizicr,
in the provinces the governor, must be
informed of the intention to start II

rights may publish paper, provided he
has given thirty days previous notice to

incur penalty of ten to fifteen pounds
(Turkish) for each month of its continu-
ance. The publisher is the responsible
person, and must forward two proof
sheets of every copy to the Press bureau
previous to publication.

What q Woman Did.

Jennie June writes in recent letter to
the Baltimore american Another
story is so strange that it will hardly be
believed to be true, and yet it is most
painfully so in every detail. A short
time ago man applied to one who had
been an old friend to indorse note
which he offered with some trepidation,
but which bore every evidence of being
genuine. The friend was glad to revive
old associations, and as the note was not
for large amount willingly put his name
to it. The individual was profuse in his
Acknowledgements, and incidentally
mentioned his wife's name. Your
wife," repeated the indorser, "why, I
thought your wifes name was -. You
know was acquainted with her before
you were." "Oh, yes," said the other,
with very red face, "that was my first
wife; did you not know that she was
dead, and that had married again ?"
No, he did not know it, and was very
sorry to hear of the loss, for that first
wife had been n very sweet little girl,
and an old schoolmate and flame of his
own. In due time the note came to
maturity, was returned to him to his sur
prise and annoyance, and he was obliged
to pay it. Being in the neighborhood of

to his blank astonishment the first wife,
his former schoolmate, opened the door.
He almost tainted; he told the tale that
had been invented by her husband, and
asked her what it meant. Then she
sadly told him an unhappy story. How
her husband had made the acquaintance
of young girl; had continued it, giving
her the impression that he was an un-
married man how he had promised to
marry her, and, being unable to do so,
had been threatened with the State
prison by her enraged relatives.
How, to save him from imprisonment
and utter loss of character, she had per-
mitted him to obtain a divorce, entering
no plea, suffering all that misrepresenta-
ton and SANDER could heap upon her,
and finally choosing to be dead to the
world altogether in her own proper per-
son, and only live under another name,
and in order to support her three
children.
One thing her husband did-he left
her in possession of what had been their
little home, and. for the rest she sews,

boarding in semi-fashionable boarding

knew all the facts, and still married him.

A Queer Experiment.

Popular suffrage has been put to a
singular test in village Of Ava, Japan.
The neighborhood was harrassed by a
midnight robber, whom nobody could
detect. The head of the hamlet sum-
moned the entire male population under
his charge and directed every man to
write the name of the person whom he
suspected and to deposit the ticket in a
box. Fifteen ballots bore the name of
Abe Tanihei,' the rest being blanks.
The man whom everybody distr,lsted
was SO overcome with astonishment that
he made full confession and went to
prison. Never before in the history of
popular government was thief elected
with such unanimity.
