Impure Blood.

Since the blood is the life. the degree
of lis purity will determine the amount
of life that can be sustained. Good
health is utterly incompatible with i'm
pure blood. that which does not con-
tain the proper elements from which
the var Gus organs and tissues OF the
body must secure their nutrition.
Pure blood. such as Adam and Eve
had, is natural, the impure beng acct
dental, resulting from deviations f,om
nature rules, violations of her laws.
The air is naturally pure, but if we con-
taminate 1t by encouraging fl tn. by al
lowing a liggery, a foul stable or any
clubhouse. reeking with Filth, in the i'm
mediate vicinity of our dwellings. poi
sonous gases, foul stenches constantly
entering the home, such pes ferrous ev-
halations will and must contaminaie,
corrupt our blood, rs pure air is one of
the important agencies of blood puriti-
cation. If we conDne the air in our
sleeping apartments, any room of the
house, in the church. lecture-roo
shops, anywhere, breathing it over and
over and over again, when it can not
be breathed but once without being I'M
fit for tn proper purI cation of the
blood-till it is purified by the vegeta-
be creation, etc.-we shall have poor
blood.
If. therefore, we would have pure air,
such as will aid in the invigoraiion and
publication of the body, f we would
have our apartments fresh and sweet.
We must open the doors and windows.
never fearing that the night air is
poisonous. for the most poisonous air is
that which is confined, the free air new
er being impure, only so far as it is
made so by local causes, stagnant wa
tiers. piggerieS, di>tll. ries and the like.
The use of impu food, also, is source
OF impure blood, from the fact that all
blood is made from our food. Ii the
material is not good. therefore. the
product can not be good. We can not

putridi:y being absorbed into the blood,

materials for the structure Of the tissues
OF the body.
The publication of the blood, there
fore, is effected naturally. A cheap
means of doing it is to breathe all of
the pure air available by day and by
night, as the supply can never be en-
hausted. while it is not probable that
the heartless speculators can ever make

Flight Shooting With Bow and Arrow.

No one belle es that Robin Hood shot
a mile. At the present time distance
or tight shooting Is not much practiced.
The Turks have the credit of being able
to shoot vast distances. but among the
Ottomans skill in archery seems TO be
progressive. Each sultan on succeeding
to the throne is expected to display his
proves with the bow. He shoots q
shaft. and the distance is measured.
Curiously enough, the reigning monarch
has always been found to excel his
predecessors, SO that the record now
stands at prodigious figure. 1t is pos
sible that il the officer whose business it
is to measure the length reported I'M
tavorabiy on the mOnarchs shot, he
might find that howstring in Eastern
countries has more Uses than one, and
and this thought may unconsciously bias
his mind, but this is only conjecture.
Nowadays mag ne that 90 yards is
beyond the power of man to compass.
have but seldom tried my hand at
iight-shooting, but with light fliaht ar
rows and bow pulling siXty-two
pounds shot 2S6 yards last April. The
air was nearly calm, end there was but
three or fou yards difference in shoot
ing up and down. With little lrac-
tice, l fancy that l could reach 100
yards. here are strong men who can
pull a low of seventy pounds or seven
ty-five. With such a weapon they
could probably reach $50 wards. and
posi- ly more. But when it is meas
ured out. $50 yards seems long way
to send SO slight thing as a flight ar
row. and those who can follow the
shalt in its flight through the heavens
TIL it finally reaches the earth have
good eyesight.-Lon.lon Magazine.

A Curious Disease.

some in 'ormation regarding strange
d sease that is met with in Siberia and
known to the russians by the name OF

seems compelled to initiate anything he
