We offer no apology for devo ing so much
time and attention to this much neglected
class of diseases, believing that no condition
OF humanity Is too wretched to merit the SYM
pathy and best services of the profession to
which we belong, as many are innocent suf-
ferers, and that the physician who devotes
himself to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philantrophist and benetactor to his race than
the surgeon or physician who by close appli-
cation excels in any other branch OF his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity, the
day is dawning when the false Philantrophy
that condemned the victims OF folly or crime,

An old lady Of seventy years, living
In a. town near Bath, Me-, to which she
was accustomed to row in boat when.
ever she had occasion to visit the city,
got married short time ago to n man
. who pretended that he couldn't row.
TIE good dame was suspicious on this
point, and so one day as they were
about leaving Bath for home she was
taken sick, and told her spouse that ba
would have to row them home or tn y
would have to stayin the city all nigh t,
The case looked genuine and the old
man took up the oars. When they had
proceeded about halt the distance and

The French revolution was the exccu-
ton, on tho 9Th OF November 1898, OF
Nine. Roland. She and her husband
were Girondists, and when the Jacobin
rabble obtained the upper hand she was
thrown into prison. Her husband was
away from Paris At the time, and she
never saw him again. Aftor her death
he committed suicide. While in prison
Nine. Roland preserved Arm and ad-

national and individual freedom, but
at the same time denounced tho blood

All her iailers became her friends, but
they could do nothing to save her.
While in prison she devoted most OF her
time to writing her memoirs. At one
time she almost determ med to take

Ianions, but she regained her courage.
and determined to meet death brave|y.
After being SUCCESSFULLY imprisoned in

sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount of actual work neces-
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small. .* ~
Upon the great fertile prairies OF West
ern Canada, where millions Of acres OF
the richest land in the world are COM
prised within the Provinces Of Mani
itoba, Assiniboia, Alberta, etc, settlers,
old and new, have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape Of mag
nif1cent crops for the season of 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after
farm in Manitoba the past season
where the yield of wheat averaged from
80 to 3S bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently rs bushels per
acre of choice grain. Upon one farm OF
1880 acres, the crop OF wheat and oats
was close to 10000 bushels, and Of this
the first lot of 10000 bushels Of wheat
was sold for 84c and Soc per bushel.
Close beside this large farm was q small
one from which the owner had taken
his first crop. He had started with no
capital the year before, yet his crop OF
wheat was 1000 bushels and the quality
was so good that he got CSC per bushel
for it, one cent bnshel more than his
wealthy neighbor, which meant just
$3.50 for his first season in wheat alone.
With a climate peculiarly adapted to
grain-growing, and population repre-
senting nearly every nation, Western
Canada offers to the settler most
favorable chance to succeed among
friends or fellow countrymen of his own.
''BE nirtuous and you Will be happy" as
the young lady remarked TO her friend
Lawrence American.
