TerribIe Erect Of Bad Air.

At every moment OF the human life
he air which we breathe goes coursing
through the most delicate and sensitive
nf the wonderfully constructed organs
Of the human system to purify and re-
mvigorate the vital currents of life.
But what if the purifier shall itself be
unclean and laden with the seeds of
pollution? Having once done its work
and come forth tainted and foul. what
if it shall again and again be called to
perform the task for which it is no lon
ger fitted? The natural and inevitable
deduction is not far to reach. The
blood is no longer purified, but it goes
coursing through the body. the source
of disease and corruption instead of
being the fountain Of pure. perfect
healthfulness.
Other organs by sympathy or by di-
rect contagion become affected. The

evils, and the sufferer, who is now in
such earnest, flies from one blood pu-

perhaps temporary and questionable
relief at the expense of system loaded
with poisonous and harmful drugs.

time and in almost any horrible form.

The great Russian soldier, Marshal
Suvaroff, was in the habit of asking
his men difficult questions, sometimes
foolish ones, and bestowing favors on
those who showed presence of mind in
answering him. On one occasion
general of division sent him a sergeant
with dispatches, at the same time rec
ommending the bearer to Suvaroffs
notice. The marshal, as usual, proceed
ed to test him by a series of whimsical
questions.
How far is it to the moonT' was the
first query.

final poser:

soldier coolly. my colonel cannot

afterward gave him the promotion for

outward and visible evidences of the
aboriginal have been softened down
with veneer which the softeners
fondly imagined is indicative of in
ward and spiritual grace. This is along
4 $50 mile stretch Of the White Nile,
where the Shilluks live and move and
have their being.
Now. the Shilluks are picturesque
and a promising people. They have
their Fashoda for a capital and their
memories of Lord Kitchener of Khar-
rum which no man may take from
them. Wherefore. what matters it that
they have lost their original lawless-
ness, their former turbulence and their
cheerful speciality of roasting the en-
envy on the point of the spit?
Now the Shilluks are so civilized
they carry short wooden clubs after
the fashion of the Broadway police
clan and occasionally brandish long
spear in true light opera style. They
lead an enviable life. these Shilluks;
nothing to do all the livelong day but
lie on the messy bank and spear the

may be intense conservation and fer

yet If 1t is not prevented by dealings

There be some honest errors where
with l never found that God was Of

his own wife comedy, although Ill fa-

should think more meanly Of his own
good parts than of weaker in others;
