Count Muravieff, Russian minister of for
eign affairs, the strong bulwark of the
Franco-Russian alliance, has caused deep
concern among the members of the French
official and political world.
Count Muravieff was a bitter antagonist
of England and in him France felt that
she had an influential friend in the event
of difficulties with Great Britain.
The cordial relations of the foreign Office
of Russia and France. moreover, have not
rested on purely political basis. great
element of strength was found in the per
sonal friendship existing between NJ. Del
case. French minister of foreign affairs,
and Count Muravieff, and to the former the
loss of his friend came as a severe blow.
The removal of Count Muravieff from
the council of the Car is grayely COM
mented upon by the French press, and in
the hopes expressed that the policy of
Russia will not be affected thereby, one
discerns apprehensions lest the founda-
tons of the Franco Russian alliance
should be rudely shaken by the Topping
off of one of its strongest roots.
NJ. Delcasse, himself talking with a
friend on the subject set aside these
fears, laying stress on the fact that
while the personal feelings of Muravief
were of great value in cementing SYM
pathetic accord between the two nations,
yet the real foreign miniser was the Car,
and he has given repeated tokens of sin
cere friendship for France. Therefore
according to NJ. Delcasse, Frenchmon
could regard the political future with per-
feet serenity.

The kidneys separate from the blood
a peculiar salt known as urea. If this
salt is allowed to accumulate in the blood
it quickly produces blood poison, (urae-
mia) But if at the same time the kid
neys allow the serum of the blood to es-
cape, 1t forms a fatal drain to the sys-
tenn, (albuminuria.) Catarrh of the kid
neys will so derange them as to produce
both of these disastrous results, for not
only will the kidneys fail to excrete the
urea from the blood but will allow the Sc
rum of the blood to escape with the
urine.
II the kidneys are healthy they will ex-
crete the poison from the blood. The
renal veins return the purified blood from
the kidneys to the general circulation.
