THE SOUL.

Body, mind and soul
These are the earthly trinity.
Two parts of it are finite;
Tho other part is infinite.
The body and the mind
Stop in the grave.
The soul goes onward,
Not as man shaped il,
To fit the human body
And the mortal mind,
But as God made Il,
So it goes to him
Unchanged.

cure rheumatism by rubbing the
muscles with liniment, but all the
liniment in the world will not cure
rheumatism.
Nothing will do it but filtering the
blood.
When the kidneys are we'll, they
filter the blood and keep it pure and
healthy. They filter out all the
waste matter, the poison. the uric
acid, and throw it out of the system.

matism. or perhaps govt, anaemia,

ACROSS SIBERIA.
MIR. George KEENAN, Describes His
Famous Journey in 1855.

Famous Journey Ina 1855.
There was a lively demonstration of
pleasure Monday afternoon when Mr.. Geo.
KEENAN, appeared on the platform at the
Rifles armory before the National Geo.
graphic Society. The applause was loud
and earnest and lasted long, Mr.. KEENAN,
lectured on Siberia, giving a running &C.
count of his journey in 1885. In company
with the artist. George A. Frost, from St.
Petersburg to Irkutsk and the mines be-
yond, where the exile system adds the
horror of mans ihhumanity to the terrors
of the desert cold. The illustrations thrown
off by a stereopticon were from photo
graphs and sketches made by Mr.. Frost.
The journey described in detail from st.
Petersburg to Mocon, Nizhnee Novgorod,
through Perm, Ekaterineburg, Tiumen,
omsk, Tomsk and on to Irkutsk, abounded
in incident and adventure. To the Ameri-
can travellers it was soon apparent, after
passing the Siberian frontier at Ekaterine-
burg. LOGO miles from st. Petersburg, that
Siberia was not all cold, barren waste
In one place they met 543 heavily laden
wagons, carrying grain and produce to mar
ket While Siberia contains the polar CEN
ter of cold, where the mean temperature of
the year Is but degrees above Zero
and through December, January and Feb
ruary the highest temperature is about 81
degrees below zero, yet southern Siberia is
on about the same parallel of latitude as
Naples. The journeying in the tarantas or
boat-shaped carriages, with troikas Of
horses, by means of which the traveller
makes 1OO miles a day, and in which Mr.
kennan and his comrade journeyed 5000
miles In nine months, made an interesting
feature of the account.
The boundary pillar beyond Ekaterne-
burg, where the exile trains stop to bid good
bye to friends and their native soil before
passing the line into Siberia and a living
death, made pathetic picture of human
misery Past this pillar, said Mr.. KEENAN,,
over 10000 exiles have Travelled since 1873,
and in this century over half a million have
there babe goodbye to home and kindred
The thrilling experience of riding in a ia
rantas, with the three horses running at
breakneck speed, with Mr.. kennan's imi-
tations of the drivers yells and Mr.. Frosts
pictures of the scene; the drinking of
koumiss in the tents Of the kirghis chiefs,
the description of village life, the cities,
architecture. customs, dress, industries and
commerce of that far-away northeast of the
world were most Interestingly pictured.
Although reaching a point within 500 or
GOO miles of the seat of war in China, and
among people largely Monaghan, MIR.
KEENAN, did not enter on any comment on
the recent unpleasantness between the mi
kado and his neighbor. Nor did he touch at
all on the exile system of Siberia. which
was the prime object of the journey thither.
The aim was simply to describe experiences
of an itinerary that will always be regarded
as remarkable for the courage displayed by
Mr.. KEENAN, and Mr.. Frost and for the re-
suits that came SO substantially from 1t.

A TwO-FOId Work of Charities.

The charitable work of the Civic Center,
as a result of a conference of executive
officers of the organization yesterday, will
be allotted to two committees instead of
one, as heretofore. The first of these will
be known as the committee on pauperism
and embrace the two subjects of charitable
organization and tramps. The second will
deal with the industrious poor. This di-
vision of the subject from every considera-
ton seems wise and likely to be productive
of good. Mr.. b. Pickman Mann will be
chairman of the committee on pauperism
The board of trade having taken UP the
Pingree potato plan, the Civic Center will
not actively undertake any effort in that
line, but will, if necessary, cooperate as
may be thought best. At the meeting yes
terday the plan was allotted to Mr. Mann's
committee as subject for consideration.
