The Mucous Membranes.

Y, hat are the mucous membranes?
They are the lining membranes of all
tho cavities, organs and passages of the
human body. Upon the health of these
membranes depends the health of the
organs. IL the mucous membrane of the
head, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys,
bladder, or any other organ Of the body
becomes congcsted, infiamed or ulcer
ated, the health of the organ is .immedi-
ately impaired and promptly disturbed.
A congestion, Inflammation or ulcera-
ton of the mucous membrane, whether
of the head, stomach, kidneys or other
organ, is known to the medical profess
sion as catarrh. The people generally,
however, suppose that q disease of the
stomach is entirely differentini its nature
from disease of the liver, kidneys or
bladder. But this is not the case If the
arrangement is due to congestion of the
the lining mucous membrane. The trou-
BILE is simply catarrh, wherever it~hap-
pens to be located. To be sure, it is
known by different names; such as dys-
pepsia, Brights disease, female COM
plant, diarrhoea, bronchitis, consump-
lion, tonsi1itis, and q host of other names.
Wherever there is a congestcd mucous
mem brane there is catarrh.

SCHOOL QUESTION
IN THIS COUNTY

Mr. ]. B. Cunningham, principal of the
Birmingham High school, has sent the fol-
lowing open letter to The Age-Herald:

Soap Is indeed necessary to keep clean,
and ii 1t Is used with hot water at
night just before retiring the peculiar
gloss which 1t gives the countenance
will have disappeared by morning. A
very fine quality OF soap must be
chosen, as coarse soaps destroy the
beauty of the skin on either face or
hands. 1t should be remembered that
to battle the face in hot water before
going out OF doors In cold weather Is
to offer a premium for rough. red
chapped complexion. A slight appli-
cation of rosewater and glycerine, fol-
lowed by thin busting OF good quail
ity of rice powder, is an excellent pro-
lection for the skin against cold and
wind. The gown illustrated is OF old
rose cashmere. The skirt Is trimmed
al the hips with rufile OF black satin
ribbon. which seems n continuation of
that on the close bodice. The fronts
of the bodice are cut in scallops, edged
with the ribbon, and there Is yoke
OF gulpure de yenise. The capote OF
ecrue guipure Is trimmed with white
feathers and Louis XVI. bow OF black
velvet.

STRATEGIC SURPRISES.

1t seems probable that the days
of great strategic surprises on
the continent of Europe are
over. Such movements as those
OF Marlborough and Napoleon from
the Rhine and the Alps into the very
heart OF Germany or Italy, oyer-run-
ming vast extents Of territory before a
decisive battle, are not likely soon to
recur. The reasons are that armies
are tied to railways. and each termi-
nus Of each great railway line near
the frontier tells It's own story OF tho
direction of the operations. Again.
the electric telegraph circulates Infor-
nation so rapidly that surprise will be
the result OF lack OF preparation
rather than OF bewilderment because
of lack II information. The press IL
obiquitous--I refer not only TO the
powerful leading journals-with their
numerous agents and their enormous
expenditure: the small and local press
TO be found in every little town is al
most as fatal 10 secrecy. National
