Matthias Breen, the well known stone
contractor, who has been lying ill at his
residence, corner st. Peter street and
College avenue, suffered a relapse yes
terday, and the physicians, in attend
ance, entertain but little hope of his re-
coVery. About three weeks ago Mr..
Breen was stricken down with a rupt-
ured blood vessel in the nose. He bled
several gallons before the flow could be
stopped, and was so weak in conse-
quence that at the time it was not
thought probable he could survive for
any length of time. He rallied. how
ever, and was able to sit up New Years
day. The death of no man, should such
occur, will be more regretted among
the Irish-American element of the city
that of Mr.. Breen. The evidences of
his thrift and energy are dotted all over
the state, and the new court house and
city hall of this city, of which he was
the builder, will ever be monument to
his memory.

Indigestion

Is not only distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsaparilIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years l suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief Nothing that J. took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla [ could see an improvement III my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, l found myself well
woman, able TO attend 10 all household
duties. The medicine has given HE a
new lease of life"

CHEERFUL PHILOSOPHY.

them; for he owns thing that understands
1t best, and gets the most enjoyment from
It.
The world was made for poor men. and
therefore the greater part of it was left out
Of doors, where every body could enjoy it;
and though men have been building and
fencing for six thousand years, they have
succeeded in getting very little Of the uni
versal treasure sequestered and out OF

And this stately gallery, with . dome like

The ingratitude Of Kings and the in

now 70 overcome tho injurious EnoCte nj
CArb0nic Oxide.
Common Illuminating gas contains COM
pound Of carbon and oxygen which is Glossy
related to the so-called carbonic acid gas,
but which contains smaller proportion q
oxygen.
When taken into the lungs this gas enters
into combination with the coloring matter
Of the blood, taking the place which should
be occupied by the pure oxygen.
1t is probable that the injurious effects Of
the compound are due not SO much to its
own activity as to the fact that II prevents
the entrance Of oxygen. 1t really produces
q sort OF strangling, and il has been found
that one Of the surest means Of restoring
the person who has been overcome by the
gas is the inhalation of pure oxygen, since,
as would be supposed, oxygen breaks up
the new com binaton much more rapidly
when taken pure than when inhaled in its
ordinary 6ilution in the air
In all cases Of poisoning by gas the suf-
ferer ought at once to be given q supply Of
fresh air; IT is always available, and Is the
best substitute for pure oxygen.
Illuminating gas, however, is not the
only source of danger, for the same noxious
compound is formed in the burning of coal.
1t gives rise to the blue fame which il seen
as the coal is just beginning to ignite. The
escape Of such gas into sleeping room is
the more dangerous, since it will generally
overpower the inmate without waking him.
When q small amount of the gas il in
hailed, a. happens in room where there
is q leaking stove, II causes headache,
nausea, noise in the ears and great prostra-
ton. II the poisoning goes further, it pro-
duces difficulty Of breathing. paralysis Of
the lower limbs, Inconsistencies, and
sometimes commissions, before death.
Carbonic oxide, which Is the chemical
name OF the gas, has no odor, and numerous
deaths have been reported, due to the
escape Of the gas into houses or rooms
where its presence was not suspected.
So-called water gas contains large pro-
portion Of this product, and hence its use
has been interdicted in many parts Of
Europe, where it was found that accidents
could not be averted, rs there was no way
by which its presence could be known with
certainty. Ithas been suggested that this
obstacle to its use would be removed il il
