Lazarus.

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases Is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated. aud their eff
forts to cure it meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula Is always
puny aud sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scroiula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, SO that
it is important for this reason that inn
mediate attention be given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest faint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, $50 Elm ST., Macon,
Ga, writes:
"My boy, Charlie, Inherited scrofu-
lous blood faint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible. 10
dress him for three years.

A Curiosity of Literature.

John Haywood, the pla ywright and
epigramlnatist, was patroniZed by Hem
ry VIII. and Elizabeth. What the
'Faery Queen" says Warton could
not procure for Spenser from the penu-
rious Elizabeth and her precise Minis
ters, Haywood gained by puns and
conceitS." The object of one of his
books, as disclosed by the title page, is
singular: "A dialogue, containing in eff
feet the Number of Proverbs in the
English Tongue, compact in a Matter
Concerning Two Marriages.
When the Marquis Of Winchester,
Lord High Treasurer, was presented
with copy Of this book by the author,
he inquired what 1t contained, and be-

CONVICT LABOR.

Hon Carol d. Wright. United States
Commissioner of Labor. has taken a
hand in the current debate concerning
the duty of the State to the convict
namely, to give him employment. The
Record Union has frequently pointed
out that ii is not only employment that
the convict must have, but productive
employment He must see that his Ia
Dor has beneficial results Otherwise
what his hands perform tend to cripple
and injure his mind, and make him stnl
more dangerous to society Mr.. Wright
confirms this view of the case. as indeed
must all fair men who make inquiry into
the subject with the single purpose of
getting at the bedrock of truth
Mr.. Wright holds that the average
convict is in an Intellectually undevel-
oped state, and is likewise morally lack
Ing development The average age of the
convicts of the United States is but 70
years. At that age and within the range
either side that gives the average, there
is not found the period of settled habits.
nor the area of time within which the
mind has gained the self-control and
the settled conviction that determines
the character of the man.
Here, then is the State with de-
pendent whose mind and intellect, as
well as his body, must be cared for, not
more in the interest of the convict than
of the State. AS ix-eighths Of the con-
