WHAT WE INHERIT

We are not to blame for. We con-
not be held responsible for the dis
positions and tendencies which we
derive from our ancestors, Eor are
we responsible for the germs of dis
ease which may manifest themselves
in our blood as heritage from form
ef generations. But we are respon-
sible if we allow these germs to de-
velop ito serious diseases which
will iInr { our usefulness and de-
stroy our happiness. We are respon-
sible If we transmit to our descend
ants the disease germs which 1t is
possible for us to eradicate by the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place
OF disease.

The laws Of marriage and divorce are bet
ter III England now than ours. They
are governed by the church-by the &C.
clesiastical courts. 1t takes no little
time to get married. The matter is con-
sidered and discussed openly and freely
before an engagement is made. 1t must
be a union that is fit to be made and the
bans must be published and announced
from the pulpit for so many Sabbaths
previous to the ceremony. Consequently
there are no elopements-no runaways,
and of course not so many divorces. IN
considerable young people used to runa-
way to Gretna Green, in Scotland, and be
married by an old Scotch blacksmith,
but those marriages were declared illegal
about forty years ago, and now it is
crime to be married anywhere save in
the church after the bans have been pub
lished. Great solemnity is attached TO
the ceremony. But here anybody can run
away with anybody's daughter and be
married by anybody in any sort of fash
ion and get loose whenever they take
a notion. The whole business Of marriage
and divorce should be remodelled by Con-
,gress and made uniform in all the States.
1t makes me sick to read those divorce
advertisements of lawyers in Chicago:

of 100000 acres of land. 1t was bought
in small tracts mostly. Titles had to be
examined and deeds drawn and recorded
on each tract. Diplomacy had to be used

exorbitant prices. Mr.. McNamee has
shown remarkable business and executive

attorney. A railroad about four miles in
