II seems to be conceded that
NJ. Pasteur, the French scientist,
has found a preventive for hydro.
phobia, by which that dreaded dis
ease may be eradicated. His inves-
LEGATIONS have not been confined
to hydrophobia. If his researches
into the causes of disease and for
the discovery of prevention and
remedy stopped there they would
confer but q small benefit upon
the human race.
For all the dread of hydropho.
bia, because of its nature, its
source and its incurability. the
amount of real injury inflicted
upon man by 1t does not amount
to one thousandeth part of that
done by the mildest of human dis.
eases. But NJ. Pasteur's dlscOv-
cries strike so at the root of all
diseases that, allowing that his
theory is correct and the applica
ton of it practicable, it involves
far. reaching consequences. If he
is right, efforts to extend the prin.
ciple to the deadly epidemic dis.
eases have been only premature.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight on the back, loins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some ELECTION of the Kidneys
or ueighboring organs. At times
symptoms of indigestion are pres.
ent, flatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like
prespiration, producing a very dis.
agreeable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, bleeding and itching piles
yield at once to the application of
DIR. BosankO's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affect.

However, they started out with

the river about half a mile, and
the next seen of them they were
making for the Canadian shore.
Instead of rowing at angles against
the current they rowed straight
across the river, the swift current
slowly but surely drawing them
down towards the rapids. When
about half way across they were
not more than 200 yards from the
rapids, and, as ifseeming to realize
their perilous position, they turn.

Where ColOred People came From.

There are few colored people in
this country, says a newspaper
writer, who know from what Afri-
can tribes they sprang, and Just
where their ancestors lived in the
dark continent, before they came
to America In the hold of slave
ships. By far the largest part Of
our African fellow citizens came
originally from the dense forests
of Senegambia, Liberia, and GUM
es, many from the low downs and
lightly timbered region of the low.
er Congo, and a much smaller
number from the half sterile sea
board of Portuguese Angola. The
further inland station of white
slave dealers was at Bona, on the
Congo, only sixty. five miles from
the ocean. The territory from
which they filled their slave pens
extended inland only as far as
Isanglia, Stanley's second station,
one hundred and fifty miles from
the coast. The American slave
trade except in the Niger basin.
was a traffic in coast negroes.
Behind the mountain barriers that
divide the low.lying seaboard from
the plateaus of central Africa,
dwelt millions of other and very
different people whom Living.
stone and his successors have
made known TO the world.
