Why You Feel

So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. AS well expect the
sanitary condition OF city to be per-
feet with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such compile
Gated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs In
about two and half minutes and that,
on its way, it makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerve, and all other solids
and fluids Of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,
"The Life of the Body"
Is 1t any wonder, then, that II the blood
be not pure and perfect in its consti-
tuents, you suffer so many indescribable
symptoms?

AS PROFESSOR BRYCE SEES Us.

AS PROFESSOR BRYCE SEES Us.
 Professor Bryce's new book will attract 8 good deal of attention in this country for it contains the opinions of careful and intelli- gent observer concerning "the American Commonwealth" The New York Herald does good service by publishing nearly page of extracts from the book.
 What the professor sees in this country is pleasanter than that which many Englishmen have seen, or at least, have thought they saw. In fact, he thinks life much pleasaEter in this country than in Europe and there is 8 general prosperity and comfort here not found in the old world. He sees that Gin Connecticut and Massachusetts the operatives in many 8 manufacturing town lead 8 life far easier, far more frightened by intellectual
 culture and by amnsements than that of the clerks and shopkeepers of England or France" :"
 He finds the people good natured, vivacious,
 hopeful and friendly, but he thinks there is
 in them a certain sameness, lack of diver
 sity and originality in notions and tastes and
 mental habits as compared with the people of
 the world. He says, however, "that Amer1-
 ca marks the highest level, not only of ma
 terisl we'll being, but of intelligence and hap piness, which the race has yet attained, will
 be the judgment of those who look not at the favored few, for whose benefit the world
 seems hitherto have framed it's institutions,
 but at the whole body of the people,"
 The professor touches upon some of the dangers which threaten this country. Among the people of the western States and territor- ies in particular he notes an apparent "pre. dominance of material efforts and interests over all others, even over those political in 1 stincts which are deemed so essential part ! of the American character" In the rise oi gigantic corporations and trusts, controlled l by few men welding enormous powers and
 sometimes not scrupulous as to how they ! wield them, he sees grave problem for oul ! statesmanship, likely to become still gravel l and more urgent as we go on. He thinks the gravity of another problem-that of the vast | and constant inflow of immigration-is some- times overrated by European observers.
 ffWhat strikes the traveller" he says, land what the Americans themselves delight to point out to him, is the amazing solvent power which American institutions, habits and ideas exercise upon new corners of all races. The children of Irishmen, Germans and Scandinavians are far more like native Americans than prevalent views of heredity would have led us to expect; nor is it with out interest to observe that nature has here repeated on the western continent that pro- cess of mixing Celtic with Germanio and Morse blood which she began in Britain more than a thousand years ago."

At recent meeting of the American Orni- thologists' union Mir. Ernest E. Thompson of Canada said that some birds, especially spar rows, have ventriloquial powers. Birds, when surprised in the act of singing, will be silent for moment and then give forth faint song that seems to come from a distance, though the singer be not further than ten feet away. Thrushes and robins, the lecturer said, also have this power.

 Not of binding snow, but of binding paint not out O doors like snow storm, but inside of one of our most comedy churches, venting itself upon the fine architectural rep resentation of column and arch which have so long invited to welcome entrance every passer-by who stopped to think at the open door in front. And what did the blizzard leave of that dear and kindly welcomes What but it's own characteristic memorandum as 8 work of art-a perpetual blur upon the vision of every beholder. Some like it, however, as concealing in part and partly revealing some- thing which is beyond the reach of criticism, for nobody can tell what it is. It is as if (but it is not this) it is somewhat as if somebody had persuaded his friend to improve his dear old countenance and call in the 'tartist" to take his nose off down to level. O, isn't it dreadful even to think of it? It is so. though indeed it may be said that it is not fair that the nose should always be allowed to keep the face in it's ehadow. Still if this practice be even an affroat to good taste it cannot justify such an extreme aud shocking measure of re- form. A REASONABLE CRITIC.

 Judge Allison of Philadelphia sent police man to jail the other day for an arbitrary and unlawful arrest, and took occasion to make some remarks concerning the duties of po- Icemen. The time had come, he told them, when they must be taught, if they didn't know it already, that they were under law as well as the rest of the community, and that the people had some rights in their own streets. tsBecause they wear uniform policemen are not clothed with authority to order citizens about at will" said his honor, "and then ar- rest them for disobedience to an order which the policemen had no right to give"
 | Alderman-elect Durfee of Fall River has | some reason to think that he is man of des- tiny. He is g plumber and while waiting for the return of his helper the other day he strolled to quarry close by and sat down to mediate. After gazing thoughtfully about him for some time he saw man crawling to- ward him on his hands and knees. This mans strange conduct perplexed the plumber alder man; but not more than his presence seemed to dismay the new conner, who, upon seeing MT. Durfee, stood up, and for some time could not speak for fright. When he could com- mand his tongue he explained that he had placed forty pound charge of dynamite just where MT. Durfee stood, and after retiring to a shelter at safe distance had tried to fire the blast by electricity. As it would not go off he crawled toward the blast, examining

the wires which lay on the ground to see where the connection was broken. It was discovered on further examination that the alderman had placed his heel on one of the wires and either broken or grounded it, thus preventing the blast from exploding.
 Different views of the working of woman suffrage in Boston are taken in that city. The Journal says that t'those who have ob- jected to giving the ballot to women have always contended that the vote of women would be 8 capricous and spasmodic factor, 1" and that "when the matters to be settled were only the ordinary questions of candi- dates and policies, women would be indifer- ent The woman's vote on the school com mittee in Boston eorroborates this view" To this the Transcript replies: "Without taking up the question whether a possible spasmodic character of 8 vote really effects the merits of the question, and without ad- mitting that the case of general suffrage for women is made any stronger by the experi4 ence of the recent election, we think it is quite fair for the advocates of woman suf- frage to protest agrinst making the rule both ways in their cases-against an angus ment which damns them if they don't vote and damns them if they do. We have no hesitation in saying that the experience of last Tuesday was at least vindication oI school suffrage for women."
