1.-The blood is the liie." Science has
never gone beyond that simplest state
ment of Scripture. But it has illumi-
mated that statement and giveu it a
meaning ever broadening with the in-
oreasing breadth OF knowledge. When
the blood Is "bad" or impure is is
not alone the body which sutiers through
disease. The brain is also clouded,
the mind and judgment are affected,
and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to the
impurity of the blood. No one can be
well balanced in mind and body whose
blood Is impure. No one can have a
wholesome and pure life unless the
blood is pure. Foul blood can be made
pure by the use of DIR, Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. When the blood is
pure. body and brain are. alike healthy,
and life becomes daily happiness.

CHAPTER II.
A STRANGE PROCEEDING.

When Ruric came down in the
morning, he found the monk al
ready ther and breakfast nearly
ready. But little was said during
the mealtime, for the monk seemed
busy with thoughts of his own, and
Ruric was too much engaged in
studying the strange mans features
and pondering upon the various
doubts and surmises that had enter
ed his mind. After the meal was
over the monk accompanied the
gunmaker 10 his shop, and there he
spent some time in examining the
ouaint articles of machinery that
were used in the manufacture of
arms.
Ruric was engaged in finishing a
pair of pistols, and for some min
utes the monk had stood silently by
his side watching his movements.
At length the youth stopped in his
work and laid the pistol down.
"Excuse ne. good father" he
said rather nervously, at the same
time gazing his visitor in the face,
"but | must ask YOU a question.
Where have seen you before?"
"How should | know ?" the monk
returned, with smile.
"Why," resumed Ruric. with some
hesitancy. Il knew not but that you

fallen in with. The monks face
was a peculiar one. The features
were very dark and prominent and
almost angular in their strongly
marked outlines. His brow was
very strong in mental development,
and his eyes were dark and brilliant.
The slight circle of hair that es-
capped from beneath the tight skull
cap which he retained upon his
head was somewhat tinged with sill
yer, though his face did not betray
! such advanced age as this silvery
hair would seem to indicate.
"You have been caught in a se-
we're storm, good father" said the
youth after his guest had somewhat
recovered from the effect of the
cold.
"Aye, that / have, my SON" the
monk returned in a deep, rumbling
tone. q left the Kremlin this morn
ing little thinking of such change.
This storm has commenced since
started on my return. About half
a mile from here my horse got foun-
dercd in the snow, and ] left him
with an honest peasant and then
started to make the rest of my way
on foot, but ! reckoned wildly. The
driving storm blinded me, and the
piling drifts swallowed me up at ev-
cry dozen steps. Ny body is not
very well adapted TO such work. Ha,

is a most severe storm. Yet you

"Aye, father, we try to be COM
Portable said Ruric. "My mother
could hardly survive winter in
some of the dwellings which stand
hereabout.'
The monk made no answer to
this save a sort of commendatory
nod, and shortly afterward the
youth asked:
"Do you belong here in the city,
good father =
"Aye, at present / do" the monk
returned. And then, with smile,
he added: 81 suppose you would like
to know whom you have thus re-
ceived Nv name is Vladimir, and
my home is wherever ] may chance
to be on Gods heritage At present
! am residing here in Moscow.
There, could you ask me to be more
frank 2"
! Ruric smiled, but he made no di-
/, rect reply. He was too deeply in
terested in the face of the monk
to enter with much eagerness into
conversation. At length the guest
asked If he could be accommodated
with some sleeping place, and, hav-
ing answered in the affirmative, the
youth lighted another candle and
conducted him TO a chamber which
was located directly over the kitch-
en- and which was very well warm

as he had returned TO the Kitchen,
"who is that MANI"
"How should know" the wo-
man replied.
~But have you never seen him be-
fore? 2" Ruric asked in an earnest,
eager tone
q cannot tell, my son. His face
most surely calls up some strange
emotions in my mind. but ! think i

sand vet he seems familiar to
me-" the son resumed. "Those eyes
surely have seen before, but to
save my soul cannot remember
when nor where"
And so Rurie pondered, but to
no avail. After he had retired to
his bed he lay awake and thought
of the strange face, and all through
the night his dreams were but star
Ting visions of the black monk.

cent dollars 1t was the injustice
and inequality of this doctrine of
two money standards that were a
rank violation of Democratic prin-
ciples. If all money were redu-
ced to the silver standard, and
gold was abolished or adjusted to
the basis of the 50-cent silver dol
lar, there would have been no in
equality in the money, and that
which was paid in would have
been paid out without discrimina-
ton, but with two kinds of money,
one being twice as good as the
other, but both by law being equal
" sanctioned, it is easy to see
that the men who we're in q posi-
ton to dictate in any financial
transaction would exact lOO-cent
gold and pay out 50-cent silver.
This discrimination in dollars
would have constantly operated
against the men who must take
what they can get, and they would
never have known ANYTHING liz
hand or pocket but the cheap and
deprecated dollars.

legged to have been the result OF a
snake bite to hurry to the scene
and investigate the case. In eve
nv case he reported that there was
either positive disproof or lack of
satisfying evidence, therefore it
was natural to twenty years expe-
rience that the learned scientist
should be convinced that the bite
of a snake was innocuous.
He was compelled by recent
case, however, to abandon this
conclusion, as he has found that
Edward Swanson, an American
snake charmer, had died of the
bite of diamond rattler at Ham,
mond, Indiana. Death in this
case was painless, and there was
no swelling of the body, such as
is commonly said to result from
the poison of a snake, Prof. James,
while freely admitting that this
instance is authentic, holds that
death was due to the extraordina-
ry quantity of venomous duid
which entered the veins of the un-
fortunate Snowman, the RATHER
that bit him being armed with
four fangs. In spite of the death
of Swanson, Prof. James adheres
to the opinion that human !esti-
mony is unworthy and there is a
very general ignorance concern
ling reptiles. He calls attention
to the fact that long ago the great
Prof. Owen complained of the
failure of people to appreciate the
good qualities of the snake. and
quoted him as saying of the rep
tile. "He can outclimb the mon
key, outswim the fish, outleap the
ljerboa and suddenly loosing the
coils of crouching spiral, he can
spring into the air aud seize the
bird on the wing. All this may
be true, but it does not make man
admire the snake or desire to be-
come intimately acquainted with
him, nor will any great number Of
persons agree with Prof. james
that the bite Of all snakes are in.
nocuous. There is too much ties
timony to the contrary. 1t is
