aged paregts, and thus ptotraeting their life
and rendering it worth protracting, The
beneration now nearing its cloy bad its
irth end growth when this ,whole matter
was little understood even by the medical
profession,.
All knew that it wase common thing for
the old to be ,suddenly struck down with
apoplexy, or hurried to their graves by an
attack of pneuiionia, or bronchitis due to
an ordinary cold. Of such and kindred
cases it was said they had died of old age,
Life, it was thought, had reached its
natural limit ; the body was worn out in
ev Y'y part and went to pieces, as a ;natter
o course, all at once, like the deacon's
": one-horse they." Now as a general
t.3 , g x thing,
we'anlght as well say that a child dies of in-
fancy when its mother does not suitably
protect it, The fact is, every age has its
tendencies and special exposures.
In old age the arteries lose Their elasticity
and toughness, and readily give way, espe-
cially those of the brain, under whatever
quickens the action of the heart. The cir-
culation, too, is feeble, and s. slight chill is
enough to drive the blood back on the in-
ternal organs, thus giving rise to various
congestions. Indeed, a common cold is
often much more dangerous to the aged
than small -pox to an adult, or scarlet fever
to a child.
Tho recuperative power, also, is so weak-
ened in the aged as to make almost any or-
dinary ailment a serious thing. The secret
tions are greatly lessened, so that digestion,
especially of meat, is much impaired, and
the bowels tend to severe constipation, with
its grave evils.
Children, and all on whom the aged de-
pend, should not only understand, but be
alive to all this. Says Prof. IL C. Wood,
M. D., LL.D., in the Medical and Surgical
Reporter :
"A large proportion of those who are
said to die from old age, really die from the
effects of exposure, and it must be remember-
ed that the term exposure is relative. What
in a young elan may be nothing, may to an
old man be a serious matter.
" One of the most perfect protections
from cold is a buckskin jacket. Nothing
else will compare with it.... These patients
must be guarded especially against ex-
posure to wind—even more than against
damp.
" High winds chill the surface, oppress
respiration, and are exceedingly disastrous
to the life of any person whose circulation
is without power.... Stimulating food
should be withdrawn. Meat should be used
but sparingly. Milk should be the chief
article of diet."
Air in the Chest.
The lungs lie against the chest walls.
When the chest expands, fresh air rushes
intof�h��e ,b,.ungs, and, expanding them also,
still kps then; in closest contract with the
chest. iA thin, lubricating fluid, secreted
by the membrane which lines the chest cav-
ity, prevents all friction from the constant
motion of the two on each other.
Sometimes this membrane, becoming in-
flamed, secretes in large quantities a watery
fluid, which sometimes changes to pus. This
secretion, crowding against the lungs inter-
feres with their proper expansion. This is
pleurisy.
Sometimes the space becomes filled with
air, which presses against the lungs and
impedes their action. This is pneumothorax,
which ea s simply air in the chest.
This ai is from the lungs. It may issue
from them through some minute opening in
their walls, an aperture, perhaps, not larger
than a pin-hole, made by the .bursting of a
small vesicle near their surface. The burst-
ing may be caused by unusual exertion, or
by the softening of the vesicle, as a pimple
or boil softens and breaks.
The opening once made, the air is con -1
stantly forced through by every expiration. I
The a3cumulated air, compressing the lungs,
may cause the opening to close and heal up,
in which case the air is gradually absorbed.
Sometimes a bit of matter, as a blood -clot
is swept into the lungs, where it lodges in a
minute rtery near the surface, and there,
causing inflammation and suppuration,
opens out an exit for the air.
In all cases the difficulty is that the lungs
cannot properly expand, and the patient's
breathing is interferred with—sometimes
fatally. Often it is relieved without medi-
cal aid ; often, again, only by tapping ; in
some cases the tapping needs to be repeated.
The relief is immediate. The air rushes out
with great force from the elasticity of the
lungs and the distended chest. If, however,
the tapping in severe cases is delayed too
long, the collapsed lungs lose their elastic-
ty, and fail to expand.

The'Empire of the, Czar is ; so vasits
in
'extent that it bewilders the mind to attempt
to form picture of it,
Sweeping from the White Sea, the Polar
Ocean, at the north of Europe, eastward to
the Sea of Japan and the waters of America,
where she has ceded to the United States a:
domain in the New World larger than Prance
embracing the vast realm of Siberia ; border-
ing upon China on, the south, and touching
Afghanistan at the gate of India; flanking
Persia, and hovering like a dark cloud over
the whole of the Turkish Empire, while on
the extreme, west she faces Germany, Austria
and the new Kingdom of Roumania, Russia
presents, in one compact massa territory
such as no earthly 'monarch has ever before
ruled over.
To the people of the narrowed kingdoms
of Europe, who watch jealously every move
meat of Russia, the Empire is grand, mys-
terious and fearful. They know its more
than eighty million people include many
races, all of whom seem willing to servo
their Emperor. He has at his command a
standing army of more than six hundred
thousand men, and could call under arms
two million soldiers.
The vastness and mystery of the Empire
make it even more formidable than do the
figures which represent its armed men.
The distant camps of the primitive Aryans,
who still worship the sacred fire ; the Iran-
ians and their ancient enemies, barbarous
Turanian, at peace at last under the flag of
a foreign master; Tartars of every sort,
faithful in their allegiance to their white
master; Georgians, Circassians and Armen-
ians ; rude Samoyedes, people like Esquima-
ux in the extreme north; troops upon troops
of Cossacks, the organized "Cowboys" of
Russia ; and; then the great mass„ of Euro-
pean Russians, with the Lapps and Finns,
and myraids of awe ; all these diverse
peoples belonging, with all their goods and
their very live, to one inan, and one only,
the Great White Czar—all these make up a
vague but formidable whole.
It is no wonder that the statesmen of
Europe have Russiaseldom out of mind, and
that they sometimes attribute to her the
strangest and darkest purposes, some of
them the most unlikely for her to entertain.
The nation whose people are most jealous
of the power of Russia is the English, for
it looks upon the Czar as the greatest if not
the only danger to its possessions in India.
But Russia has another rival in .Austria-
Hungary, for the interests of the two na-
tions in the countries which have been from
time to time sliced off the Turkish Empire,
are constantly clashing.
Toward Germany Russia is friendly, and
the German Government seeks to maintain
the best of relations with the Czar ; but there
is jealousy between the two countries,
which are,—ancl because they are,—the two
greatest and most commanding powers in
Europe.
The people of France are most friendly
toward Russia, because they see the rivalry
with Germany, and they have a proverb :
" My next-door neighbor is my natural en-
emy, but my next-door neighbor but one is
my natural friend, because he is the enemy
of my enemy."
The power of peace or war lies in the
hands of Alexander III., Emperor of Russia,
but he is not likely to exercise it lightly.
Although he is an absolute monarch, he
could not govern long against the wish of
his people.
His power is not limited by a parliament,
but he feels none the less the influence of
the thought of the people, and no absolute
sovereign was probably ever more in sympa-
thy with the inclinations of his people than
is Alexander III.
They desire peace, and it is probable
that he also desires it. But he is a warlike
monarch, and the Russian people have be-
come used to war, so that it is almost a
second nature to then;. A small event may
' precipitate a great conflict.
Unhealthful Occupation.
When the air we breathe is contaminated
by stagnation, by breathing, by fires or
artificial light, such as candles, lamps and
gas, it operates as a poison and injures the
constitution. People seem to think that
wholesome food and drink are much more
important than pure air, and the reason of
their so thinking is because air is an invisi-
ble substance. Crowds of mechanics, of
all kindsarefrequently pent upfrom morn-
ing to night, without even thinking of open-
ing their windows for a single half hour for
the admission of fresh air. When in Eng-
land one-fifth of all the deaths are pulmon-
ary consumption; In France one-sixth ; in
Ge any one-seventh ; and in our own
county one eighth; and when we see the
carelessness on every hand about what we
breathe, it is not ,difficult to discover the
remedy. As things are now it cannot be
denied that some occupations are more un-
healthy that others, and yet the differences,
in a sanitary sense, could be greatly lessen-
ed. City people are more subject to pul-
monary diseases than those of the country,
and this need not be ; at least while there
is not so free a ciroiflatiou of pure air in the
city, a better use could be made of what
there is.
Sedontal;y employments are less favorable
than theaetive kinds, yet the manner and
posture Can work marked modifications.
A dust laden atmosphere is the most diffi-
cult evil to face. To environ the worker
with a pure atmosphere is possible, but its
i
e eeu `onso eas Occupations that

are classed as unhealthy can be made less
se by properly understanding and practicing
the laws of breathing.

Desperate Courage.
On the outbreak of the Sepoy mutiny
against the English, in 1857, shocking cruel-
ties were perpetrated. The English residents
of towns within the Iimits of the insurrection
were massacred ; indeed, all India was in a
fever of excitement.
Colonel Leevin, in his Fly on the Wheel,
says that the magistrate in charge of the
town of Banda narrowly escaped with his life
at the beginning of the excitement. When
the storm burst, he was the only European
left in Banda, the other residents having
already sought refuge in Futtehpoor.
The Nawab of Banda, although at heart
in sympathy with the mutineers, yet pre-
served to the last an appearance of loyalty
The magistrate had been informed that a
rising was imminent, and went to the New -
ab to exhort him to use ellpossible influence
to quiet the people.
Even as they sat talking, there reached
them a
murmur
fr
0
m the town without,
swelling into a shout as the tumult came
nearer. A dead silence fell in the room, and
on looking up the magistrate saw that the
Nawab was smiling.
He knew then that his only hope lay in
prompt action; so, drawing his revolver, he
seized the Nawab by the collar and placed
the muzzle against his forehead.
"Is a carriage likely to be soon ready for
meo
t depart?'
he ask quietly.
ed u'
Ietl .
"Yes, yes, Sahib; one is now ready,"
vociferated the affrighted attendants.
"Then we will go at once."
Without relaxing, his grasp of the Naw-
ab's collar, they emerged from the palace,
and the immense mob outside hushed their
clamor, in terror for the life of their Nawab
and in amazement at the daring of this
solitary Englishman,
"Now," said the Magistrate to the Naw-
ab, "Tell them that if I hear a hoot or an
insult, or if any man's hand is raiseclagain t
Inc, that moment will be your last."
The Nawab entered the carriage with him,
and they drove off, no one daring to interfere.
At twelve miles distance from the city, the
magistrate had a horse waiting for him in
case of a sudden emergency;; so here he left
the Nawab, politely thanking hien fol the
pleasure of his company, and rode off un-
harmed to Futtehpoor.
.Joy in Every Drop.
This may be truly said of Poison's Nervi -
line, the greatest pain remedy of the age.
It brings comfort to the weary sufferer when
failure has attended the use of every known
remedy. Nerviline is an absolute euro for
all hinds of pain, internal, and external, or
local. Purchase a 10 cent sample bottle and
try this great remedy, Nerviline, nerve
pain cure. Don't forget the name at any
drug store.

Gleanings By The Sea.
BY L. A. MORRISON, TORONTO.
Read Mark VI : 34 to 51 ; and John ve : 1 to 21.
Break Thou the "Bread of Life," dear Lord,
In love to me ;
As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea.
So let my soul be fed ;
Speak Thou the word,
Thou hest the Living Bread,
Dear Christ, my Lord.
Bless Thou the " Word of Life," dear Lord,
In love to me ;
As Thou didst bless the bread by Galilee.
Thy blessing multiplies
Thy gifts divine ;
My soul, in glad surprise,
Owns all things Thine.
Teach Thou the "Blessed Truth," dear Lord,
In love to me ;
As Thou didst teach of yore, beyond the sea ;
That though the desert reigns,
If Thou dost call
A school -boy's scrip contains
Enough for all.
Give Thou a willing mind, dear Lord,
In love to me ;
As Thou didst give to them on Galilee.
Who at Thy word and will
Did launch away ;
That I, in trust, may still
Thy voice obey.
Watch Thou from Hills of Prayer, dear Lord,
In love, for me ;
As Thou didst watch o'er wind-swept Galilee.
The darkness cannot hide,
Nor storms destroy ;
Whateo' to me betide
Shall end in joy.
Come Thou when dangers press, dear Lord,
In love to me :
As Thou didst come to them, who on the sea
Toiled all the weary night
To reach the strand ;
Thy coming brings the light,
It brought the land.
Beecher and the Children.
"Mr Beecher was wonderfully fond o
children and he always carried oranges an
candies in his pockets to help entertain
them on the oars. If he saw a poor mothe
with a baby crying in her arms he would g
and comfort it and make it stop its cryin
where others failed. In coming up fro
Washington one time a characteristic inti
dent occurred. There were two little child
ren, boy and egirl, ight or nine years old
in the car and they huddled close up togeth-
er and appeared to be very fond of each
other. We had breakfast at Wilmington,
but the children did not get off the car, and
they had evidently traveled all night with-
out anything to eat. When Mr. Beecher
came back from breakfast his arms were
laden with rood things for the children.
Then he talked to them. He found that they
were from the South, that their parents had
died and that they were on their way to
the city to ;find an uncle whom they expect-
ed to meet them. The train was late, what
if the uncle should fail to meet them? When
the train arrived inJerseyCity, Mr. Beecher,
got out of the car with the children, walked
slowly along, looking around to see if he
coulddiscover d sco i any one looking for the
children, and got out between the two ferries
and stood there waiting until both boats
had gone. Soon a man came hurrying along
in great distress and saw the two children.
but as he expected to see them unaccom-
panied, he stopped in doubt. Mr. Beecher
suspected that he might be the uncle and
asked Win what he was looking for.
"'Two Children.'
t. t
'Well,'said Mr.
Beecher I
,
guess
they're here. These looklike
two children,
don't they ?'
"It was the uncle, and he was indeed
grateful. Thanking Mr. Beecher, he said :
"' Will you kindly give me your name ?'
t"lsfy name is Beecher.'
"' Where do you live?'
"' In Brooklyn.'
"' What ! Can you be the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher ?'
"'I ani inclined to think I am.'
Tears carie into the man's eyes, and he
explained to the little ones who it was who
had befriendecy them. The two children
were soon after seen in Plymouth Church,
and they have since then listened to itir'.
Beecher's sermons frequently.

The Homans plan, which is a specialty
with the Federal and practiced by it alone
in Canada, is a system of insurance by which
policy -holders secure protection without
being compelled to pay beyond its present
necessities If the company makes its setae -
tion of risks withtheeare it claims to do and
seems to have done, judging from its past
mortality experience we ere no reason why
it should not continue to grant insurance at
low rates, for the death rate has already
been very low in Canadian business,
We have heard the argument used that,
owing to the fact that mortality is known to
be much lower in Canada than elsewhere, it
is unwise for our people to take insurance on
equal terms from companies doing a foreign
business.
