PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN nopy.
The Rcsult of Imperfect Digestion OF
Eoud.

Every living thing, plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs OF disease
and death (called by scientists Ptomaines),
are usully the result Of imperfect digestion
OF food; the result OF indigestion or dys-
pepsa
The stomach, from abuse, weakness. does
not promptly and thoroughly digest Tho
food, Tho result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments tthe first process OF decay,
poisoning tho blood. making 1t thin. weak.
and lacking in red curpuscles poisoning
tho brain, causing headaches and pain In
the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart. causing
pnlpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ. every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourshment and renewal. and weak diges-
ton shows itself not only in loss OF appe-
tito and flesh. but in weak nerves and
muddy complexion
The great English scientist Huxley. said
the best start in life is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly:
because they lack the proper quantity OF
digestive acids Oactic and hydrochlorlo)
and peptogenio products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases OF Indigestion, is TO take
after each meal one or two OF Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, because they supply in
pleasant. harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
Tho regular Use OF Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form OF stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
They increase flesh. insure pure blood,
strong nerves. bright eye and clear com
plexion. because all these result only from
wholesome food we'll digested.

MOTHERS FAREWELL.

Dear child. how can let thee goi
# So often have nestled thee
Upon my bosom, lovingly
And lulled thee into SAUNDERS sweet
Is With tender songs and low!
How dear thy tiny fingers grasp
Round one ST mine, when first 70,
~ stepped.
And falling helplessly, gladly crept
BACK to the he.,rt that loved you so,
Where mothers arms could CLASP
And when there came merry day,
When, growing bold, you bravely ran,
Sweet, childish forecast of the man,
Around the loom. away from me.
AL laughing in your play.
A few years more, and larger grown
With all a bright boys love of fun
OF horse and wheel and rod and gin.
You neer forgot the loving kiss
For mother, left alone.
And now at last, equipped for life,
My baby wanders' out afar
Across the sandy harbor bar
perhaps for days of sunny speed,
Perhaps for storm and strife,
God speed his course across the sea-
The honored name he hopes to win
And when his ship comes blithely in
Sweet answer to a mothers prayers
My skip will come to me.

Elsie looked up quickly. II shouldn't

"It isn't your fault that haven't any
more vitality than transplanted chin
panzee; and, besides, the tramp was my
own proposal"
'But I do blame myself. You didn't
know how far it was over to the Pocket,
and I did,
''That's nothing; if I wasn't so nearly
done for little walking wouldn't put
me down."
''You mustn't get discouraged. Think
OF what you have to live for, and just
make up your mind you won't give up"
lis there so much?"
isn't there always?-while there is
good to be done and evil to be pre-
vented? You found one thing yester-
day."
Eyes, if can only live long enough to
set it right"
She caught at the hopelessness in his
voice, and answered it out of heart
full of pity. "You oughtn't to look at
it in that way. Why can't you turn Mr..
Kilgrow's trouble, and everything else,
into so many stepping stones to carry
you across to where you can feel the
solid ground under your feet again %
There was a swift undertow of in
ference in her question that carried
him quickly out into the sea of inn
pulse. DO you really mean that? Do
you think should be justified in taking
the help I need wherever I find it?"* -
why not? Isn't it right and neces-
sary that you should? Father says if

The fervor OF her own appeal carried
Elsie out Of herself, and, remembers
ing only that a man before her needed
help, she answered out OF the depths
of 8 compassio which was as profound
and comprehensive as It was imper

the heart Of all womanhood, upon whose
altar burns the light of pity and compass
sion for all the world-a light which is
not divine only because it is human.
10 the woman who first reveals her,
self TO- any man in her true character
OF ministering angel is given the power
to bind and loose, and the opportunity
which Elsie had unconsciously grasped
had never been offered to Helen save
at the moment of parting, when Philips
abruptness had forestalled it. It was
inevitable, therefore, with Elsie's words
ringing in his ears, and with the con-
sciousness that he had been permitted
to see the light of that sanctuary which
is closed to all but the suffering and
despairing, that Philip should be swept
far beyond the bounds of his allegiance
to Helen; and since he was man, it
was equally inevitable that he should
be unable to dissociate the offer of help
from the personality of the woman who
rendered it. Raising himself among
the pillows, he answered her with the
fire of a new ambition beginning to
quicken his pulses.
II can win-or, if not, I can at least
die in harness. If try, will you help
me in the heat of the battle as you have
helped me just now? Think we'll before
you answer; it's a graver responsibility
to save life than to take it"
Didn't I promise, yesterday. that I
would help you? We will all do that

mo, but that is not what meant.
You know what I mean, Elsie. Look
at me. Will you be to me all the way
through what you are just now, the
one person in the world who knows
my weakness and my need of inspira-
tion-who will hold up before me the
crown of reward when I am down I'M
der the hoofs of the horses?"
There was no mistaking him now,
and in twinkling Elsie the priestess
became Elsie the supplemented maid
en-, blushing painfully under the ruth
less questioning of his eyes. What she
might have said in reply Philip was not
to know, for in the moment of embar-
raised silence Mrs. Duncan called her
to the kitchen. When she was gone,
Philip was left to compound as best he
might with the throng of merciless &C.
cusers rising up in the name of justice
and honor to demand satisfaction.
Through all the desperate assault he
chung obstinately to the thought that
he was fighting for his life.
do what you will and say what you
will" he said to himself, when the battle
with his aroused conscience ragged the
fiercest, my life is my own, and mean
to live if l can. So far, I have been
nothing better than a child in leading
strings, but from this day I shall live
what is left of my life in my own way;
and if this girl had to be raised up to
help me, why, so much the worse for
those whose opportunities were great
err
And with such reckless shifting of the
responsibilities, Philip made the first
entry in the book of self-reliance, re-
fusing to have his dinner brought to
him, and insisting perversely on joining
the family at table.

FOR GOOD OR Ill


In offering to fight the battle for the
old mountaineer, Thorndyke had reck-
oned without his host in one very i'm
portant particular. When he awoke
from troubled sleep on the morning
following the talk with Duncan he was
too i'll to get up, and he was still in bed
when the farmer came to call him to
breakfast -.
Il feel as if I'd been prayed in a NOR
tar" he said, in reply to Duncan's in
quiries. Il suppose it was the long
tramp yesterday; ought to have had
more sense than to try it, $50 .'.s.--
"Na, ma, then" said Duncan, sooth-
ingly; "it's mair the fault O. the BARN;
she Wilma be considerin' that ye're
over pawky to be scram'lin' sax or

please don't blame her; she couldn't

you came up; WANTED to see you about

allowed to drag, you know; the old man
isn't safe from one day to another while
he stands in the way Of such men as
Fench and Sharpless That letter you
have is only q beginning; if they find
out it hasn't driven Kilgrow out Of the
country we may look for harsher meas

Der that it's the life or the liberty Of

Use to bring Kilgrow here to-day I'll
get up and go to him, sick as am"
r Duncan yielded at discretion, secretly
proud of the invalid's pluck. 'Malx
yersep easy, Mr.. Thorndyke, an dinna
fash yersel' waur than we need. I'll
fess auld Johnnie down, gin haze to
tie him neck an heels an lug him. Do
We just be quiet, moo, an Marthall
bring ye a bit an a sup"
Thorndyke sat up to eat the break
fast brought him a little later by Mrs.
Duncan, and he was able in the course
CT the forenoon to dress and go down to
the sitting-room. Elsie had been re-
preaching herself all the morning for
her part in the 1mprudent excursion of
the day before, and when the invalid
came down she installed herself atonce
as his nurse and companion. Philip was
made comfortable upon the lounge, and
when he was tucked in with rugs and
propped to the exact angle of restful
ease with pillows the girl ransacked the
ancient bookcase for something to read
to him. Philip saw. and protested.
'You mustn't waste your time cod
ding me-" he said; lust bring your
work and sit here where I can see you.
I'm not half as sick as might be, and
if you start in humoring me now there's
no telling what you'll have to endure
later on
She brought her sewing and sat down
beside the lounge. II don't believe
you'd be very hard to manage"
'That's because you don't know me !;
my mother could tell you how exacting
I can be, though say it's chiefly her
fault for not letting me shift for my
SELF"
Elsie held her peace for a moment
and then asked: "Does your mother
know what you told me yesterday"
about my health? No."
Don't you think it was cruel not to
tell her?"
''No. Why should I add months of
suspense to a sorrow that will be long
enough and bitter enough at the best %
''She won't look at it that way; and
if the sorrow comes it will be all the
harder to bear for not having known.
And that's at least one good reason why
you shouldn't give up; you know you
said you hadn't any yesterday"
"Did I? Perhaps should have made
an exceptions; but I was thinking of
other things just then.''-
Whereupon the "other things" sum-
