INHALATION OF DUST.
Its Effect on the Lungs of Pers'is II
gagged in Various Pursuits.

Its Effect on the Lungs of Pers'is En-
gagged in Various Pursuits.
DR.. Kunze, in lis inaugural thesis for
the Nj. ID. degree of the University OF
Keil, publishes as contribution to the
diseases caused by the inhalation OF
dust a series of examinations of lungs
so affected. In all these, as stated in
a recent number of the London Lancet,
dust was found microscOpically; and,
after chemical tests in the various an
atomical and astrological parts OF the
lungs and i'll the interior of the lynn
phatic vessels, numerous leucocytes
were covered with the dust. Being ar
rested in its progress, it causes infam-
nation, producing hyperplasia of con-
nective tissue, especially where a dense
network of Emphatic vessels exists.
DR.. Kunze also proved that the degree
of alteration in so called dust lungs"
depends not merely on the quantity OF
the dust inhaled, but also on its greater
or less morpholOgical power of injur-
ing the tissue. He concludes from his
experiments that even the greatest al
terations in these lungs-such as nodes,
/ indurations and vomic8--are mainly
produced by the inhaled DIST, and that
tuberculosis is only an occasional coin
! cidence. The least serious alterations
in the lungs resulted from the inhala-
ton of lamp black, the particles of
which are very fine and little injurious;
the most serious, from the dust inhaled
! BY earthen-ware manufacturers and
stone masons. The lungs OF lock-
smith showed only q moderate hyper
plasia of connective tissue, the dust con-
| sisting partly of the finest particles OF
iron. In a worker in oxides of iron the
lungs were found full of small granules.
and the morbid changes in the tissues
were very considerable. The lungs OF
gold miners were generally indurated
and atropaied; the dust in these cases
is exceedingly fine. Sand produced
numerous circumscribed hard nOdules
and thick indurations. In cloth manu-
facturers, the lungs. in spite OF their
contact with an enormous quantity oil
organic dust, presented but few indur-
xtions. In the lungs of two stone
masons, induratiOn and tuberculous
disiutegration were observed; all the
other lungs were entirely free from
tubercles of any kind-an observation
which was verified by the absence oil
tubercle bacilli in the muco-pus in the

The FAITH-tLowER.

There spreadeth @wIde, wiCc meadow,
Sunny and green and still,
a bzpeklet ripples through II,
AceSe it rises a hill
A hill that is dark with cedars,
And bright with sumach's glow;
And where an old road climbeth
Tall oaks and walnuts show.
Along the edge Of the.meadow
A wood its shadow throws,
And leaning branches culver
Above that fields repose.
And there, when willows whiten
As the winds OF heaven blow frees
In the fairy days of childhood
There bloomed q flower for me.
It lifted its face to heaven,
And when the sun shone high
It's fringed lids it opened,
AS blue as the autumn sky.
o. the wonder and the besuB
Tcat in that blossom la3i
Through long years remember
That fair October day.
The splendor OF gold and crimson
'Mong the cedars dark and still,
The sunshine warm on the meadow,
The purple haze on the hill
And the gentian by the brookside
Through the tender light see,
With heavenly grace illumined-
The flower OF faith to me.
And feel the tuneful breathings
Each wandering breeze let fall
In the mystery all around US.
And the love that is over all
But now an autumn cometh,
With its frosts and its glory crown,
But my spirit seeketh the meadow
Far from the dusty town.
And where the brooklet fioweth.
From every care beguiled,
Hook into those azure petals
With the eyes OF little child
o. blessed are the memories
That naught can take away
The memories sweet and tender,
OF childhood's happy oayl
And blessed are the promises
That in later years we read
As they lie along our pathway
In the blossom and the seed.
So love that wide, wide meadow,
Where the winds of heaven blow free,
For there, in the hillside shadow,
The faith-flower bloomed for me.

CHAPTER II.


BY half-past three in the afternoon all
was in readiness to receive the company.
The ''store stoven shone with a brightness
that did honor to Aunt Kate's muscle, and
still a little later the children's rosy faces
were bright through the same cause.
Big logs burned and cracked in the great
chimney; the wooden shelves ghttered
bright with polished tins; the box bed in
the corner had on its best sunhower
spread, and Aunt Kate herself, resplen-
dent in solferino-colored merino; stood in
the center of her room, looking about her
with pride. A large quilting frame resting
upon four upright logs stood over at the
east side of the room. The first to arrive
was Mother Bansom, noted for being the
s.best ouilter'' for miles around. Her well
come was cordial.
"Give me your bonnet. Cold weather for
spring Sitttar," said Aunt Kate.
Mother Bansom's wrinkled face looked
gray and old after her bonnet was OF. Her
long, bony hands kept moving restlessly IN
her lap for a moment, and then from the
depths of big calico bag she brought forth
quilting needle and her thimble.

Aaron and Au;,t Kate, and there were Jacob
and Matthew, big boys of ten and twelve,
md there were Mary and Deborah, and lit
tie Sally and wee Tom.
1t was large old house for those days
fifty years ago., having a loft, or second
story, over the main room. This was win
dowless. but was considered luxury for
all that 1t was reached by a ladder, made
by Uncle Aaron. On one side of the house
was a tuge fireplace, and a bed, resembling
a large packing box. was away off at the ex-
IRENE far corner. That belonged to Uncle
Aaron and Aunt Kate. The children al
slept upstairs on thick beds of clean hay,
covered over with pillows and warm quilts.
1t was early in the morning one fine day
IL early spring, and Aunt Kate was busy
irving cakes for breakfast, the children
were laughing and scrambling overhead,
and Uncle Aaron was standing in the door
way looking out.
Over six feet high, brawny and broad,
strong and muscular, his keen, twinkling
gray eyes were half hid Hnder his bushy
eyebrows, and his short brown beard had a
CLINT of the sun in it. There was an air OF
decision and strength about Uncle Aaron
that rather awed me at first sight, but a
short acquaintance soon revealed that his
strength was that of the protecting OAK
that the vines cling to.
''Maryl Maryp' called out Aunt Kate uE
the ladder, ''do make them ere children
stop that noise, do you hearl Come down
here, you Jacob! Matthew, If yer don't STOP
pulling of his hair I'll switch yer good
Father" she said at last in despair, going
to the doorway, ''do tend to them ere boys
will yerl They're wusser N tadpoles."
With tolerant smile and an easy swing
round, with a stride or two Uncle Aaron
reached the top of the ladder. Without
word he seized Matthew, the eldest boy, by
the neck, and dropped him down to the
room below; next he took Jacob and swung
him down after him; then he handed Mary
