During this period of prosperity population increased as it does in all countries at tines of in- dustrial expansion. Since the war with France, Germany has been transformed from an agricultural and military into a manu- facturing and commercial nation, the process causing a transfer of population, as in Eng- land, from the rural districts to the great city centres of industry. Everything went well so long as markets could be found for German goods and the cost of living was cheaper than in the countries with which Germany competed. But a change was sure to come, as the Kaiser foresaw and endeav- ored to provide against by his efforts to establish colonies, create mercantile marine and its natural complement an efficient navy. Having adopted the protective system, and being hedged about by nations with tariffs equally exclusive, Germany soon began to realize her limitations. She was turning out more goods of all kinds than she could sell At the same time the cost of living was ad- vancing and made more costly by the im- port duties on foodstuffs from abroad. The result has been that the glut of overpro- duction has been follewed by reduction of wages, and the industrial classes in cities find they can no longer dispose of their labor Ser sufficient money- wherewith to purchase the necessaries of life. Germany is now entering on the same conditions which existed in Great Britain at the time when the agitation began for the repeal of the corn laws. These conditions are lack of employment for the masses, in- creased prices for foods, warehouses filled with unsalable goods and capital located up or sunk in vast national and Industrial works and enterprises undertaken with the idea that good times would last indefinitely. How these conditions effect the working people of Berlin is shown by the pathetic tales of poverty recently published. In the first week of December, according to official statistics. no fewer than 11,1147 children at- tending the primary schools, under tho com- pulsory education law, went without break- fast. and had no prospect or a meal at mid- day or evening when they returned home. About half this number received a meagre Portion of food from the Children's Canteen Society, a charitable organination; the re- mainder were reported actually starving to death. Such a horrible state of affairs pu one of the grandest and wealthiest capitals of Europe could not be permitted, and the city had to provide the means for feeding the little ones slowly perishing for want of food. Never was there a mare striking 0- lustration of the lack of balance in the modern industrial system that results from so-called protection. The natural economical forces, restricted and perverted in their oper- ation. recoil croon the weakest first by con- signing the toilers to idlenese and their chil- dren to starvation, The fabric of German in- dustralism is thus shown to be resting on a rotten foundation.

One of the finest stories in the history* of the rl ilways centres round a runaway engine on the Stoekton i Darlington line, ' The engine was observed by the driver of another and more powerful one. See- ing the fugitive speeding in the direction of Darlington he uncoupled his own en- gine, creased. the points and set out in pursuit on the same lino, It was a long chase, but the pursuer, at top speed, gradually overhauled the runaway. At last: it came near enough for the driver to.• tarawl to the front of hisen- gine and drop a stout chain over the tender book of the other. He returned to his footplate, shut off steam and screwed down his brakes. This steadied the one in front and so retarded its pace that the driver was able now to creep from his own engine on to the runaway, put on the brake, and bring it to a standstill, almost in the crowded Darlington Station.—Lon- don Standard. a d Depressing.

Pimples, face sores, and the kindred erup- tions common to late winter and early spring, are the worst disfigurements the fair sex have to bear. The indoor life of winter flee caused impure matter which the skin should get rid of for the blood, to remain itr the pores; the process of "exhalation" Le interrupted; the general complexion suffers, and just where the bad matter collects, Wimples, ulcers and sores quickly appear. To remove the impurities, the pores must be opened and the functions of the skin stim- ulated, by the vigorous application of Zam- Buk morning and night, and washing fre- quently with Zesn-Buk Medicinal SOAP. Zam- Bult reaches the root of the disease by soak- ing through the skin and tissue and its powerful herbal juices expel disease and make the skin do its work, which can't be done s1anpiy se ntotne.

Nervousness is often due to some poison formed in the blood by the de- composition of undigested food—in other words, often arises primarily from in- digestion. Nervousness when due to this cause may sometimes continue through many years without causing dangerous condi- tions. On the other hand nervous dis- turbances due to " this auto -intoxication or self-poisoning may be immediately fatal. Many people, however, suffer from "nervous indigestion," as they call it, for twenty years or more without fatal termixlation. In these cases there is of course a gradual weakening of the gen- eral system which predisposes to many diseases, and death is always premature, usually being traceable to what is called "heart. failure."—Health Culture.
