PURE BLOOD.

DIR. HARTMAN's LECTURE ON BLOOD IM-
 puRITIEs OF sPRINaTIME-CAUsE, PRE-.
 MENTION AND CURE.
 Dr. Hartman B medical lectures are ea- gerly scanned by many thousand readers. One of the most timely and interesting lec- lures he ever delivered was his recent lee. turs on the blood impurities of spring. The doctor said in substance that every spring the blood is loaded with the effete accumulations of winter, deranging the di. gestion, producing sluggishness of the liver, overtaxing the kidneys, interfering with the action of the bowels and the proper circulation of the blood. This con. dition of things produces what is popularly known as spring fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaustion, that tired feeling, blood thick ksnipg and many other names. Sometimes the victim is bilious, dyspeptic and constipated; sometimes he is weak, nervous and depressed; and again he may have eruptions, swelling and other blood humors. Which ever 1t Is, the cause is the snme-effete accumulations in the blood.

 'sThe mantle of Patrick Gilmore has fallen upon the shoulders of one worthy to wear It.
 "The able conductor, Victor Herbert, has captured Atlanta. His peerless band perpetuates the fame which Gilmore's men won. Enthusiasm was vehement and en- core after encore was demanded and cheer. fully given. No such perfect playing by a military band has ever been heard in Att lanta.. Last night Victor Herbert demon- strated his ability as composer, artist and conductor. He is, beyond doubt, the most versatile ID musician now before the public. Several of the large works the band gave were written for orchestra, yet they were as effectively produced as if Theodore Thomas orchestra had interpreted them.
 All evidences go to show that GilInore's band today is a far greater organIzatlon, artistically, than ever it was in it's long history. Victor Herbert's remarkable musical scholarship has brought it up to standard that far surpasses that which It ever before attained Like the lamented Gilmore, Victor Herbert is of Irish birth, but be was reared amid tho conservatories and great orchestras Of Germany, and played through all Europe. He, therefore, makes of Gilmore's Q magnificent orches- tra, although 1t is in reality military con- soloists are all back again with the band, and many new ones of international fame. The band numbers fifty men, all of the highest rank instrumentalists.

DEATH OF A METHODIST HEN.

Died, December 30, 1894, at the home of her owner, Miss Willie A. Parrish, near Cunningham church, Fluvanna county, Virginia, an old Methodist hen, aged 8 years and months. When but a chick she was set aside to work for the Lord. Her yearly proceeds from the sale of eggs and chicks upon an average were s4; this was used to pay pastors, Sunday school and missionary collections. Old Nanny, for that was her name, was small, her feathers were pure white and she was good and industrious hen. She would take her little chicks away from the house early in the morning and would not return until night. Well done, good and faithful hen!''

A Remarkable Woman.

The dowager Lady Stanley of Alder
ley, whose death took place not long
since, was remarkable woman. Her
great age of 81 was no hindrance to her
extraordinary intellectual and physical
activity. She was born before the jubi-
lee of George III, was presented at court
to George ", was familiar with the
widow of the young pretender, and was
present both at the coronation and at the
jubilee of her majesty Queen Victoria.
More than half century ago Lady STAN
ley was one of the original promoters Of
the Queens college and one of the
members of it's first council She assist
ed Miss Emily Davies, to whom the
foundation Of Girton college was main
ly owing.
During her whole life she has been
working for the education of women,
never endeavoring to monopolize the
credit, and all this good work was ac-
complished while taking a due interest
in her children, even to the second and
third generation. Lady Stanley had 12
children, 2 of whom are now living.
Recently she regretted she was not ten
years younger, to explore some of the
newly investigated regions of central
Asia, and it is related that on one of her
last visits to the premier, Mr.. Glad
stone, when he endeavored to turn the
conversation from politics by abiding
to recent novel, she said: "Do not let
us talk of novels Leave them for your
old age as I do" A singular remark for

AN OFFENDED osTRIc+.
An Innocent Kitten Mistook His Legs 70
saplIngs and Climbed Up.


The ostrich at the geological garden
stood In the long yard adjoining its cage
In the deerhouse. 1t gazed contemplative-
~ through the bars Of the fence at the
world beyond and shivered every once In
awhile as the cool breezes swept down up
on IL. 1t was thinking Of the differences
IN climates and wondering whether " Ii
buried one of its eggs as it used to do in
the long grass during such weather the
cool wave would hatch out an ice cream
ehurn.
While 1t was revolving the question in
its mind playful kitten came through
the fence into the yard 1t was pretty
kitten-pure white, except for few
blotches that looked as If somebody had
thrown an ink bottle at 1t, after care
fully removing the cork. The kitten went
running along the yard until it came to
the ostrich. Thinking its long, thick legs
were young saplings, tho playful kitten
gave a run and quickly climbed up them
and was soon on top of the ostrich's back.
The huge bird did not know what to
make OF IL at nrs5 ana went canterlng
around the yard as though the plague were
after It, Round and round 1t went, until,
red In the face, 1t came to a sudden stop.
The kitten never moved 1t had taken a
firm hold of the ostrich and did not pro-
pose to be shaken.
81 stood the earthquake this morning, A"
said the kitten; 81 guess can stand this. "
Finding that the strange beast refused
to be thus summarily disposed of, the os-
trich became less scared and more angry.
1t curled its neck and twisted its head so
as to get fair look at the kitten. The
kitten never WINGED. 1t began to think 1t
had barked up the wrong tree, but it was
determined to see the matter out. The
ostrich aimed blow at the undesirable
rider with its beak, but it lodged. 1t tried
it again, but the result was the same.
Again and again the agile head and long
neck rained sledge hammer blows at the
tricky little kitten. 1t escaped them all,
though some were too near for comfort.
Finally the kitten got scared. 1t ran
out on the ostrich's neck to get out of the
way. Then it smiled. The ostrich couldn' t
hit it there. Its smile did not last long,
however With a sudden movement the
ostrich stretched it's neck backward encir-
cled the kitten round the waist aud
squeezed it until it was dead. Then it un-
wound itself and placidly looked at the
dead animal. After moment or two of
contemplation it picked up its victim and
flung 1t as far as it could. Then it calmly
resumed the meditations that had been
so ruthlessly interrupted. philadelphia

FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
AnnihIlation of the British Empire From

AnnihIIation of the British Empire From
French Point of View.
As specimen of rabid writing in the
French press give a passage from an
article once read in LIE Matin:
"The English empire in India is now
a spectacle of extortion, rapine, famine
and bankruptcy. All crumble into ruins
towns, villages, reservoirs and public
works, temples and tombs; the railways
pass through deserted villages and di-
lapidated towns; the ordinary highways
are impracticable--it is impossible to
use carriage 12 miles outside of Cal
cutta. The English have made purely
superficial conquest of these vast regions.
They do not live there; they are only
encamped; their children die there, and
with their gross bodies-all flesh and
blood-they cannot acclimatize them
selves there. India is for them place
of exile, a tropical Siberia, which they
escape from as soon as possible; they are
equally detested by the Hindoos and
Mussulmans. The fame of this implaca-

upon this castle of cards it must fall
Immediately, and England of the British
channel will perish through India. Asia
will cease to be sterile and withered
branch of humanity. Once escaped from
the vampires of London, she will revive
and awake to a new existence. The Rus
sian conquest on the banks Of the
Ganges will be the signal for the down
fall of the Anglo-Saxon power in both
hemispheres. Nothing will remain
standing in the parent country-aristoc-
racy and church, commerce and indus
try, will simultaneously disappear.
The writer, having thus annihilated
the British empire and distributed her
colonies among the great powers,
goes on TO predict that "a new hour
will then have struck for the human
race. " etc.-National Review

America and Armenia.

One closing word as to the influence
which America may exert In these ques-
tions. She has very wisely and very for
tunately for herself abstained from join.
ing in any Of the treaties which determine
the relations of European powers to one
another, and she has neither obtained any
such legal right to interfere for the pro-
lection of the native eastern Christians
nor incurred any such responsibility to-
ward them, as is the case with the six
great powers.
But she has missionaries in many parts
of Turkey, whom, and whose churches and
Schools constantly threatened by the local
Turkish governors, she is entitled to pro-
tect, and she has the enormous advantage
of being obviously disintcrested in all
Mediterranean questions, having nothing
to gain for herself in that region of the
world Hence any action taken by her,
either on behalf of her missionaries or from
sentiments of humanity and sympathy for
the oppressed and prosecuted, cannot be
misunderstood by the Turks or misrepre-
sented by the press of continental Europe,
as that press constantly misrepresents the
action of England, though in interfering
on behalf of the Armenians England has
not and cannot have any selfish motive.
The position of America is, therefore.
very strong one. The aprearapce Of her
gunboats off Turkish ports has before now
had wholesome effect upon the Turkish
mind, ard these gunboats would do yell
to appear promptly whenever the rights of
her citizens and the safety of their educa-
tional establishments are threatened At
CQnstantinople much depends also upon
the capacity and the firmness of the envoy
who embodies and speaks the will of a
foreign power Armenian Ques-
tion," by James Bryce, NJ. p, in Century.
