The old story of Prometheus is a parable.
Prometheus was on terms of intimacy with
the gods. From them he stole fire, and gave
it to men. For this sin he was bound to the
rocks of Mount Caucasus, and vultures were
sat upon him. They only ate his liver. This
grew again as fast as it was pecked away. Are
his sufferings to be imagined?
Take a modern Interpretation of the para
ble There is no cooking without fire. In
cooking and eating the mischief lies. The
stomach is overtasked, the bowels. become
clogged, they cannot dispose OF the food that
is given them. The impurities back up on
the liver. Then come the vultures-the tor
ments of a diseased liver. DR.. Pierce's Gold

eases. There is no more need of suffering

The Yellow Shirt versu, sunstroke.

A hint comes from India which is
worth using when the hot summer days
are upon us. Lassitude and loss Of ap-
petite are among the first evidences Of
the effect of the suns heat upon the
body, and i'll hot weather many persons
who have never had sunstroke are debil-
itated by what may fairly be called sun
fatigue, which, although not serious,
renders work Of every kind more labo-
riOus than it would otherwise be. The
influence of the sun varies enormously
on different individuals, some Of whom
have to take special precautions in order
to be able to resist it. A spinal pad is
used by soldiers in many tropical coun-
tries. 1t arrests the light, which often
works such injury, but is uncOmfortably
hot.
According to a royal engineer, who is
stationed in India, the boon and bless
ing beyond compare to those who have
to spend part Of their lives under
tropical sunlight is an orange colored
shirt. He declared that he frequently
fell sick after duty in the sun until he
treated himself as a Photographic sensi-
tive plate and surrounded his body with
yellow light. All clothing, however
thick, allows certain rays to pass, and
although thick clothing would arrest all
the injurious elements Of sunlight, 1t
would interfere with the escape Of bod
lily heat. The yellow shirt, for sensitive
people who are much in hot sunlight, is
an excellent protection, only inferior to
that simplest and best of all Indian pro-
tectives, white umbrella, which has
not yet been acclimated in this country.

When chauccr Went to Italy.

On the LIST Of December 1872, "Geof-
fey Chaucer, esquire Of the king, sent
beyond the sea TO transact some secret
business Of the lord king intrusted to
him by the same lord king, " received,
"in moneys delivered into his own
hands, on account of his expenses" the
then considerable sum of e66 lbs. 4d.
The mission to which the poet belonged
included besides him James Pronan and
John de Mari, a Genoese citizen. both
being named before Chaucer in the COM
mission delivered to them on the 18th
of November Of the same year. The
journey lasted till the following autumn,
and was in any case finished in Novem-
Der. 1873, for we find Chaucer on the
22d of that month receiving with his
own hands in London the arrears of a
yearly pension granted to him some
time before by letters patent pro bono
servitiO. The sum awarded to him at
starting did not prove sufficient to cover
his expenses. He produced an account
of them, which was examined by the
exchequer, and, after some delay neces-
STATED by the verifcation of his COM
poti, further sum of e25 6s Sd. was
allowed to him, on Saturday, the 4th Of
February. 1874. The issue roll from
which this information is derived tells
us at the same time which were the
countries beyond the sea where Chaucer
had had to go. He had travelled "for the
business of the king toward Genoa and
Florence.
Chaucer was, at the time he started,
80 years Of age, having been born Gas
seems most probable) in 1870 He had
already seen much and gone through "A
variety of experiences. He had made war
in France; he had been prisoner there A;
he had been in love; he had married.;
he enjoyed some celebrity as a poet,
having written "many an ympne" to
the god of love, his beautiful elegy on
the death Of "Blaunche the Duchesse, a"
and, above all, his translation Of the
"Romaunt of the Rose" which had
made him known ON the continent and
had obtained for him the praise Of Eus-

Dreadful
Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease. Such is Malaria, which is a
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, I'M
buing the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condi-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbuncles, assesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catauh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.
