sumntYou 50 widespread, The answer /.

sumption so widespread The answer Is
found in the general neglect of diseases
which if neglected or unskilfully treated
find fatal termination in consumption.
THE GERM OF CONSUMPTION IS EN-
TIRELY HARMLESS
when the lungs are healthy. In con-
dition of health these germs are received
with impunity. 1t is only when the lungs
are uweal" that the germ is dangerous.
For this reason the real danger to be
guarded against is the incipient weak
ness of the lungs, the severe cold, the
deep cough, and other affections of the
organs of respiration. These diseases
can be cured perfectly and permanently
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery.
"I was troubled with bad cold, which
settled on my lungs and left me with a
miserable cough" writes Mr., Joseph d.
Burns, of SIS Huestis ST., Ithaca, N. Y.

RRopEs's DREAM OF PEACE.
Great Man Had Peculiar but Sound
Ideas.

London, April 9.-An article on
Cecil Rhodes, by VIM. T. Stead, will
appear in the forthcoming number Of
the American Review of Reviews. The
article, excerpts from which follow,
consists of frank, powerful explana-
ton of Cecil Rhodes's views on Amer
lea and Great Britain, and for the first
time sets forth his own Utmost aims.
1t was written by himself to w. T..
Stead in 1890. For originality and
breadth of thought it eclipses even his
now famous will, yet it is merely a
collection of disjointed ideas, hurried
ly put together by the Colossus as a
summary of long conversation held
between himself and Mr.. Stead.
Mr. Rhodes commenced by declar-
ing that the key" to his idea for the
development of the English-speaking
race was the foundation of society
copied, as to organization, from the
Jesuits." Combined with "a differen-
tial rate and a copy of the United
States constitution wrote Mr..
Rhodes, sis home rule or federation"
On the matter of tariffs, Mr.. Rhodes
was Enthusiastically positive. 81
note," he wrote, with satisfaction
that the committee appointed to in
quire into the Mckinley tariff reports,
that in certain articles our trades have
fallen off SO per cent. Yet the fools
do not see that If they do not look
out they will have England shut out
and isolated with ninety millions to
feed and capable Of internally support
ing about six millions. If they had a
statesman they would at the present
moment be commercially at war with
the United States and would have boy
cotted the raw products of the United
States until she came to her senses;
and l say this because I am a free
trader. Your people have not known
their greatness. They possess one
fifth Of the world and do not know It
Is slipping away from them. They
spend their time in discussing Mr.
Parnell and DR.. Tanner, the character
Of Sir Charles Dixie, compensation for
beer houses and omne hoe genus"
Here this political will and tesla
ment." as Mr.. Stead calls it, abruptly
breaks off. Mr.. Stead, commenting
on this, says:
at is rough and inchoate and almost
as uncouth as one of Cromwells
speeches; but the central idea CLOVIS
luminous throughout. It's ideal Is the
promotion of radical unity on the
basis of the principles embodied in
the American constitution.

number of deaths from consumption.
The country is thoroughly aroused to the
need of doing something to stop the
ravages of the deadly germ of this dis
ease. Several states have made liberal
appropriations for sanitariums in favor
able climates. The medical skill OF the
world is enlisted to fight consumption.
Yet in spite of all that is done, the dis
ease seems to gain ground instead OF
losing it.
THE FORCE OF HABIT
Is strong with us. We are so accustomed
to the world wide prevalence OF con-
sumption that we accept 1t practically as
a necessary evil. If some strange dis
ease were to break out, and destroy
hnman life to the same extent as does
consumption, such disease would be
looked upon as an appalling. plague.
Quarantine would be established against
It, and days of fasting and prayer APP
pointed by the churches for the mitiga-
ton of the disease. But we accept con-
sumption as inevitable because OF its
familiarity.
How true this is may be judged from
recent report of Sanitary Officer Gorgas,
of Havana, Cuba. 1t has been cabled to
the United states lhat yelioW leNSl was
epidemic in Havana. DR.. Gorgas an
swered that there is no epidemic. He
saws: yin the past month there were
~ deaths from consumption and So from
yellow fever. yellow fever therefore
should not be considered epidemic more
than consumption"
What light that throws on our accept
ance of consumption A scare cry is
raised that yellow fever is epidemic be-
cause of 81 deaths in one month. Not
word was said as to consumption which
In the same month claimed II victims,or
over 3s% more than died of yellow fever.
The great question is: Why is con-

In DEADLY PERIL.
The Narrow Path of Safety,

The Alpine tourist who finds himself
suddenly clinging with feet and fingers
to shelf of slippery rock overhanging a
dizzy precipice, understands in a very
literal sense the full meaning of the
words, vThere is but step between ME
and DEATH" His peril is SO tragic in all
its circumstances, so wild in its mountain
setting, that the heart almost stands still
at the thought of it.
But as matter of fact every man
walks the world with his life in his
hands, and the path of safety is narrow
for his feet.
An example of the constant peril in
which we live is found in the alarming
