II the men, women and children of Amer
lea could see the danger that is lurking around
| them each day aud on every side, the most
courageous would lose heart, appetite and

contain animal matter that will develop and
grow after being taken into the system. Food
is almost certain to be sdulteIa,ed while &C
cidents are always imminent. 1t is perhaps
s. merciful provision that few of these things
sre seen and fewer realized, but their danger
is oil the greater for this reason. Most peo-

on the threshold Of what may be serious,

| These truths were strikirgly illustrated in

NEST of the American public. Mr. w. j. Fer

uader the management of Mr.. W. w. Kelly,
has been making such pronounced success,
is perhaps the bsst light comedian on the
stage. He is a gentleman OF slight build,

Of voice specially attractive because Of its
rarity. He has worked hard and conscien-
tiously il the past and his success is the re-

of years, and indeed up to a comparatively
short time, Mr., Ferguson was most mysteri-
ously stHict d, 50 much 50 that he refused
tempting offers to travel through the country
os far as California, and plsyed only in New
York city and vicinity. Speaking to repre-
sentative of this paper upon the subject, he
remarked:

That, certainly, is no common thing"
said the reporter, "put it is evident you have

"Well, during the time of my sickness 1

It has been estimated from careful stati5-

when it can be largely avoided seems very
