CURE OF DISEASE.

IL Can Not Ise Effected Unless tie Cause
Is Discontinued.
A disease is also incurable when its
causes work on without interruption.
Malaria induces an incurably chronic
condition if the infected person does
not leave the impregnated marsh land
of his residence. A bronchial catarrh
continues stationary, and at last draws
the lungs into sympathy with it, if the
person attacked by it remains constant
ly exposed to a dusty atmosphere.
With like suddenness and energy of the
causes of disease, with like continuance
of the local processes, the individuals
power of resistance, the vigor of his
constitution are important factors in
determining the outcome. A vigorous
thirty-year-old man will overcome
an inflammation of the lungs
which would be fatal to an old
man, to a drinler, or to a man
weakened by luxury or a life of dissipa
ton or suffering. Finally, crimen non
est arts, sed egroti-the fault is not OF
the art. but of the patients the
phrase that may be applied to those
cases in which the most correct meas
ures taken under favorable circum-
stances fail to accomplish their pur-
pose, because the patient himself does
not or can not cooperate with them.
No treatment can relieve the smoker
of his throat-catarrh, so long as he per-
sists in his habit. This aspect of the
case is especially pertinent to the nerv-
Gus disorders which are one of the
growing scourges of the age; incapacity
and vacillation, the force of outer in
fiuences or the pressure of business too
often intervene to interrupt cure

BROWNING'S COURTSHIP.
Romantic Association of Two Kindred
Souls.

Romantic Association OF Two hindred
Souls.
As we all know, it was Mr.. Kenyon
who first introduced Robert Browning
to his future wife; and the story, as
told by Mrs. Orr, is most romantic.
The poet was about thirty-two years of
age at this time, in the fullness of his
powers. She was supposed to be con-
firmed invalid, confined to her own
room and to her couch, seeing no one.
living her own spiritual life. indeed,
but looking for none other, when Mr..
Kenyon first brought Mr.. Browning to
her fathers house. Miss Barrett's rep.
utation was well established by this
time. Lady Geraldine's Courtship"
was already published, in which this
author had written of Browning among
other poets as of some pomegranate,
which, If cut deep down the middle,
shows a heart within blood-tinctured.
of veined humanity" and one can
well believe that this present meeting
must have been but a phase in an old
and long-existing sympathy between
kindred spirits. Very soon afterwards
the poets became engaged and they
were married in the autumn of tho
year 1876.
Who does not know the story of this
marriage of true souls? Has not Mrs.
Browning herself spoken of it in words
indelible and never TO be quoted with
out sympathy by all women? While he
from his own fireside has struck chord
after chord Of manly feeling than which
this life contains nothing deeper or
more true.
The sonnets from the Portuguese
were written by Elizabeth Barrett to
Mr.. Browning before her marriage. al
though she never even showed them to
him till some years after they were man
and wife. They were sonnets such as
no Portuguese ever wrote before, or
ever will write again. There is a quail
ity in them which is beyond words, thai
echo which belongs to the highest hui
man expression of feeling. But such n
love TO such q woman comes with its
own testament.-Anne Thackeray

presses wear Longer Now.

The dry-goods dealers in Great Britain
are complaining that dresses last alto
gether too long and that trade is suffer
ing in consequence. Reports from the
retail dry goods stores all over the king
dom of business during the past winter
show a marked dizziness in the dress-
goods trade. Many reports ascribe this
to the lasting qualities of tweeds and
other cloth-like materials now so much
used in women's gowns. Whether steps
are being taken to remedy this serious
defect in the dress goods is not stated.
Another interesting suggestion made is
that the sale of mantles, jackets, eloaks,
shawls and wraps has been large, and
IS the long cloaks and mantles now
worn cover up multitude of defects in
the dresses beneath, the latter have
been made to do extended service

boy or girl giving the tag" is quick
enough to say: "Ticky, ticly, tag, my
tags poison, you can't get my tag till
tomorrow after sundown," that girl or
boy is under ''spell" and is exempt
from tags until the time specified,
after which the ''spell' is off. In MAX
ing wish that they are anxious to have
come true they pick up a stone that is
embedded in the ground, spit on the I'M
der side and replace it, being careful to
fit it in just as it was; by so doing they
think they will ''get their wish" The
same method is used for curing tooth
ache, but first the gum around the tooth
is picked until it bleeds. Warts also are
removed in this way. They believe that
a tooth that is extracted should always
be buried; otherwise the coming one
