The Royal VI Onth and the II oval Disease.

Sudden changes of weather are espec-
Tally trying, and probably to none more
so than to the scrofulous and consumptive.
The progress of scrofula during a normal
October is commonly great. We never
think of scrofua--its punches, cutaneous
eruptions, and wasting of the bodily sub
stance-without thinking of the great
good many sufferers from it have derived
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose radical
and permanent cures of this one disease
are enough to make it the most famous
medicine in the world. There is proba-
bly, not a city or town where Hoods
Srsaparilla has not proved its merit in
more homes than one, in arresting and
completely Graduating scrofula, which is
almost as serious and as much to be
feared as its near relative, consumption.

lNFlDEI-ITY IN A SCHOOL.

| There has been small-sized
sensation in one of the Philadel-
phia high schools, the occasion be
/ ing report that one of the pro-
| fessors was teaching infidel doc
| trines to his classes. Some alarmed
parent heard the report, wrote to
the newspapers about it, and
aroused considerable comment. but
it now appears that four hundred
boys in the school are of the
opinion that the report is not true
II seems as if this would make the
alarmed parent feel rather small.
Some people, of whom this Phil
adelphia gentleman appears 10 be
one. are very quick to give ere
dence to everything they hear. es-
pecially if it is something discred-
| liable to one of their acquain-
tances, and circulate the same
without stopping to find out
| whether it is true or not. The
proper course for this parent
would seem to be to question his
son closely as to the precise ma
ture of the professors teachings.
| and, if possible. attend some of the
classes himself. Then. if he had
found that anything alarming was
really being taught. he could have
taken the matter to the principal
of the school.
This course would have been the
more eminently wise and prudent
from the fact that the popular
definition of infidelity is very
loose one indeed. 1t is probable
| that the theory of the universe
taught by professors in our uni
versities who are also members of
orthodox Christian churches would
have been pronounced inhdel Il
| generation ago; and articles which
| appear nowadays in sectarian
newspapers would have caused the
! hair of the elect to rise. in ante
bellum days. if they had been
found even in the secular press.
\ schoolboy, at any rate, is hardly
fitted to judge what is or is not
infidelity, atheism, or other heter-
odoxy.

that is the opera house in Vienna.
This building in small city of $1,000
people cost s., 500, 600. 1t was constructed
from funds raised by State tax on cof-
fee. Inside and out it is OF the finest
marble that could be had in Italy. Italian
artisans worked upon it, and famous
artists from Europe were employed in
the interior decorations, which | think
surpass those of our Congressional Lii
