In Paris the mercErial populace have
given free rein to the enthusiastic emo
tions excited by the presence of the
Russian visitors; the French authorities
are careful to announce that nothing has
occurred as yet that could offend the
most jealous advocate of the Triple
Alliance, nor have the earnestness and
sincerity of the reception been permitted
to assume the guise of an international
challenge. The fear that a present or
future Franco Russian alliance may have
designs upon the peace of Europe will
find no confirmation in the peaceful re-
joicing at the French capital.

Nearly everybody is planning TO do more or
less travelling at this season. Many people
who can afford it go TO Europe and spend
great deal Of time abroad. To-day you meet
a man in Boston. and next week you en-
counter him in San Francisco. Those who
have not the time or means 10 take these ex-
tended trips go 10 some summer resort or
take a little trip occasionally. This is right
and proper. We need change, but all this
running about causes fresh risks 10 health
and life, although the travelling may be taken
for health and pleasure. Exposure, change
Of climate and. habits. change OF water and
diet, loss of sleep. and all these things make
peOple sick at very incOuveuient times and in
unexpected places. People under such cir
cumstances are often seized with sickness
where suitable medical help or remedies are
not at hand Ola complaints are awakened
which frequently take a fresh hold and often
result in serious sickness or death. AT such
times illness may often be Warded or by the
prompt use of some good medicinal stimu-
liant. There is no stimulant equal 10 pure
whiskey. and the purest medicinal whlskey
npon the market to-day is Duly S Pure Mali.
1t has been before the public for years. IL
may be possible that some interested person
may say that other whiskeys are jus; as good.
whiskeys do not accomplish what Duly s
Pure Malt has accomplished Tor the past

Rnds and Its prompt use has prevented the
dangers which changes Of the season and in-
cidents Of travel always occasion.
