DR.. Colmette, head of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris, and discoverer Of
the anti-venomous serum which bears
his name, has just had narrow escape
from death, which he owes to his own
invention. DR.. Colmette was collect
ing some serpents' venom, when one of
the reptiles bit him severely on the
finger. A moments hesitation would
have been fatal, for the poison was
deadly one, whose action is immediate.
fortunately one OF DR.. Colmette's COL

OF the anti-venomous serum, and the
worst result so far has been high

Among the villagers on the Volga
in the Russian province of Samara a
curious sect of women has made its
appearance. 1t was originated by an
elderly peasant woman in Soznavo,
called the blessed Mother" These
women have fed from the villages
around into remote district, where
they live singly in holes dug out of
the face of the hill. They lead life
of fasting and prayer, and believe
themselves called from the world,
which they think is shortly about to
perish in general conflagration. The
Blessed Mother" has ten wise vir-
gins" as ii sort OF bodyguard, and the
sect believes that these eleven women
are possessed of miraculous power.

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on 1t. We
thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or
poor.
There is nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full aud spirits high,
we are being refreshed, bone. muscle aud
brain, in body aud mind, with continual
flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak in low spirits, no cheer, no
spring, when rest Is not rest and sleep Is
not sleep, we are starved; our blood is poor;
there is little nutriment in Ii.
Back of the blood, is food, to keep the
blood rich. When 1t fails, take Scott's
emulsion of cod-liver oil. 1t sets the whole
body going again-maD, woman and child.

A report on Russian operations in Man
churia is about to be issued by Colonel w.
A. Simpson, chief of the military informa-
ton division OF the war department, and
from what Is already known OF the contents
of the report 1t is not likely that there will
be any harsh feelings on the part Of Russia
for the criticisms of her course. The fact
is that the report shows that Russia was
more than lerient with China even after the
latter power had invaded her territory,
killed many Of her subjects, and destroyed
much valuable railway properly. 1t also
commends the country OF the Bear for the
way in which 1t has even to the present
time set aside its own grievances In order to
act in harmony with the other powers.
Such reports are good reading. However
much strife there is between nations such
things continually are coming up to show
that there is also wealth of good feeling
between nations underlying all the strife.
