The Rising of Land.

There is abundant evidence that the
shores around Hudson's Bay are ris-
ing, and this quite rapidly. Lines of
driftwood are to be seen in many
places that are far above the level of
the highest point Of tide-water. These
drifts occur in some localities nearly
fifty feet above the present water level,
and from this point down to what is
now the high-tide mark. There are
also gravel terraces that are very well
defined, and other indications that
point Enthusiastically to a very great
change in the topography of the coun-
try since it's history was known to
man. 1t is said that in 1910 the navi-
gator Henry Hudson spent the winter
on the east coast of the Bay, south Of
latitude SO degrees. There Is now no
bay which would be available for this
purpose.

Found dead !

There is something so shocking about
sudden death that the mere mention of IL
wrenches the nerves of sensitive people.
Millions of people pray for deliverance from
it. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church
in the world, these words are said

Good Lord, deliver u.s."
lust why sudden death should be shock
ing, and death after lingering disease easy
to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. 1t
would seem that it would be more terrible
to see some loved one wasting away daily
becoming weaker-daily slipping toward
death no less certain because it was slow in
coming. Consumption causes more deaths
than heart disease - more than cholera
more than yellow fever more than any
other disease the world has ever known.
And yet people are careless about it. A man
in danger of sudden death from heart dis
ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping
quiet and avoiding excitement. Consurnp-
ton goes right on with its deadly work, no
matter what the man does or how he con-
ducts himself, if he doesn't take the right
medicine to cure it. Consumption affects
the whole body. 1t is blood disease. 1t
permeates the whole system. 1t shows in
the lungs because the blood goes to the
lungs for publication. 1t carries impurities
there to be made pure. If there is too much

been for many years, but the
doctors despair of complete re-
covery, and If the republicans elect
their ticket much of the social burden

hero. Mrs. Mckinley was born in

father was the late James Saxton, a.
