preiualee Against In.urance.

There is still prejudice against life
assurance among certain classes of re-
ligious people, on the ground that such
provision betrays a lack of trust in
Providence. Such assumption is the
basis of blazing pamphlet which has
just reached us, in which the author
argues from three texts in the Sermon
on the Mount, that the principles OF
life assurance "comes from the father
of lies-the arch fiend-who delights to
get Gods people of the right lines by
trying TO make out that God is LIAR"

family after you are dead?" eve can

BALAKIREFF, THE JESTER.
Conquest of Unhappy Finland Fore
told In n Jest-How He Saved
Relatives Life.

There is little of jest to-day per-
tanning to the relations of unhappy
Finland with Russia, under whose
rule it has so long been. Its ancient
liberties are passing away from it,
and IL Is to be compressed into the
uniform Russian model. But accord
ing TO historical tradition, the con-
quest of Finland was foretold in Jest
that soon became earnest by its con-
queror, Peter the Great, to his jester,
Balakireff, says Youths Companion.
Balakireff had yexed the car by
too impudent a joke, and had been
summarily banished with a menacing
injunction never TO appear on Rus
sian soil again. He disappeared dis
creetly; but one day not long after
Peter. glancing out of a window, saw
his unmistakable figure and quizzical
countenance jogging comfortably by,
-perched in a country cart. lmpul-
sively he ran down TO him and de-
manded to know why he had dis
obeyed.
II haven't disobeyed you," was the
answer. I'm not on Russian soil
now"
"Not on Russian soil?"
"No; this cart load of earth that
I'm sitting on is Swedish soil. ! dug
il up in Finland only the other day"
Peter laughed; but he said: IF
Finland be Swedish soil now. il shall
be Russian soil before longl" and he
made good his words.
A pleasanter anecdote relates how
Balakireff once interceded for the
life of a reckless relative who had
offended the czar, and was under sem
tence OF execution. AS soon as the
lester showed himself at court Peter,
foreseeing a petition for mercy,
roared out angrily:
"It's no use your coming here! l
swear that l will not grant what you
are going to ask!"
Quick as fash Balakireff dropped
to his knees and cried, entreatingly:
Peter Alexeivitch, beseech you,
put that scamp of cousin of mine
TO death!"
All present broke into laughter, in
which the czar, so neatly trapped by
his own declaration, presently joined,
and the scampish cousin kept his
head upon his shoulders.

A Proud Mother.

A clergyman was recently called
upon to baptize nine children. From
number one 70 eight nothing went
amiss. The ninth, however, proved to
be a lusty boy, who soon succeeded in
almost wriggling out of his somewhat
scanty clothes. The clergyman, grasp
ing the infant by the nape of the mech
and by such garments as still remained
secure, was proceeding with the serv'
ice, when the mother, overcome with
admiration for ber child, and scarcely
realizing the solemnity Of the occasion,
remarked in loud voice: He's nice
little lump, sir; isn't he?'-London

the ancient city from the hand OF the
spoiler. At last, and so suddenly that
IL came upon them like a shock, they
found themselves emerging from the
jungle. Below them, in the valley,
peering up out of the forest, was all
that remained of a great city, upon
the ruined temples of which the set
ting sun shone with weird effect.

long now, they hoped, before they
would be able to satisfy themselves
as to the truth of the story they had
been told, and Of the value of the
hopes in which they had put their
trust. Having eaten their morning
meal, they took counsel together, ex-
amined the plan for the thousandth
time, collected their weapons and
tools, babe their servants keep q
sharp lookout, and then set Off for
the city. The morning sun spar<led
upon the dew, the birds and monkeys
chartered at them from the jungle,
while above them lowered the myriad
domes and sculptured spires of the
ancient city. 1t was picture that
once seen would never be forgotten.
So far, however, not a sign of human
life had they been able to discover;
indeed, for all they knew to the con-
trary. they might be the only men
within so miles of the place.

The shadows of evening were slow
ly falling as the little party of which
Kitwater, Codd and Hayle, with two
Burmen servants, were members, OBJ
tanned their first view of the gigantic
ruins of which they had come so far
in search. For many days they had
been journeying through the jungle,
now the prey Of hope, now of despair.
They had experienced adventures by
the score, though none of them were
of sufficient Importance to be mar
rated here, and more than once they
had come within hairs breadth of
being compelled to retrace their
steps. They rode upon the small,
wiry ponies of the country, their serv-
ants clearing way before them with
their parangs as they advanced. Their
route, for the most part, lay through
jungle, in places so dense that il was
well-nigh impossible for them to

Really pure water does not exist.
As near as we can get to il is rain wa

A sanitarium for consumptives has
been established in which the patients
live in tents so constructed that they
cannot be entirely closed up.
1t has been found that mud in drink
ing water has its advantages. The
mud oyercomes foul odors in the water
and helps destroy many impurities.
London has been suffering from an
epidemic of smallpox almost as severe
as that OF 1893.
An outbreak of the plague at Naples
has brought forth a series of orders
from the health authorities. 1t is in
teresting 10 note that there is hard
ly an order which is not the same as
was issued during the plague of 1856,
the edicts OF Alexander VII.
A number Of deaths have recently
occurred in Rochester, n. Y, from
ptomaine poisoning from canned oys-
ters. "Ptomaines" are the poisons
generated by germs of bacteria. 1t
must be borne in mind that disease
and death are not caused so much by
the bacteria themselves as by the tox-
ines or poisons which they produce.
There are 491 mineral springs in the
United States selling water for medici-
nal purposes. One hundred and sew
enty-three of these springs reported
the sale of 13,344.7Os gallons Of water,
valued at $2,Oo1 COG.
A case is reported by a French sur
geon of the complete removal of the
larynx for cancer. An artificial larynx
was devised. so perfect that the voice
was entirely regained.
Ipecac given in fairly large doses
will cause nausea and vomiting, while
in small doses will stop nausea.
Chickenpox is very frequently mis-
taken for smallpox. A mild attack OF
the latter is often very hard TO differ
entiate from a severe attack of the
former. even by the most skilled d.
agnostician.
G. P. Conn reports severe fracture
OF the skull followed by practical

SKIN grating has always been re-
garued as a most interesting part OF
surgery. There are various methods
The one now most popular is the re-
moval Of healthy skin by means of the
very sharpest razor, making an effort
TO get the thinnest layer that can be
obtained. 1t is taken in very small
pieces and scattered over the surface

on which the new skin is wanted. Inc
cells begin to proliferate from these
little islands of skin and growing in
all directions finally come together
and form a perfect skin. This proc
ess is often used after severe burns
in which the skin is destroyed over
a large area. The skin is taken from
a healthy part of the patients own
body or from the body of some friend
or some one hired for the purpose.
II has been found that iodoform Is
a dangerous drug to use on large open
surfaces and wounds. Several cases
of amputations were dressed with
large amounts of iodoform, and later
the patients developed delirium and
died. The deaths were attributed to
shock, although they did not occur for
from five to six days after the opera
tions. 1t has recently been discovered
that the iodoform dressings were the
cause OF death.
Edebohls has advocated quite rad
ical change in medical procedure. in ad-
vising operation upon the kidney in
case of Bright's disease. Bright's dis
ease is an Inflammation of the kid
ney and has been common cause of
death in men over 40.
An attempt has been made to prevent
typhoid fever by typhoid serum SIM
liar in principle to the antitoxine of
diphtheria. SO far the results have
not been satisfactory.
The principle on which vaccination
acts in the prevention of smallpox does
not seem to be fully understood by
the public at large. 1t is known that
after an attack of smallpox (as in the
case of many other di5eases) the pa
tient is not susceptible to a second at
tack, on account of a certain power
have attained. Whether the first at
tack uses up that element within the
body which is susceptible to the dis
ease, or whether the first attack leaves
within the system something antag-
onistic to the disease, is not fully un-
derstood; but the latter is probably
true. for the immunity acquired by
the first attack Of given disease, does
not protect from other diseases. Vac
Gina, or cowpox, seems to be bovine
form Of smallpox, and when the hu-
man is inoculated he actually goes
through an attack of smallpox, but one
pustule developing, and that at the site
of vaccination. The immunity, how
ever, of regular attack of smallpox
is given to him who is vaccinated.
A man in New York was badly injured
in a street car accident and shortly
afterward died from "quick" consump-
tion. The court declined to hold the
railway in any way responsible for
the death from consumption. although
suit was brought on that ground. As
tuberculosis was germ disease,
caused usually by the inhalation of
the germs. the evidence was lacking
to show how the street car accident
could have had anything to do with the
death.
