Consumption
Do not think for a single

ever strike you a sudden blow.'
It does not come that way.
It creeps its way along.
First, you think it is a 'little
cold; nothing but a little hack-
ingcough; then a little loss in
weight ,• then a harder cough;
then the fever and the night
sweats.
The suddenness comes when
you have a hemorrhage.

k is yet creeping.

SCOTT BROS.
An Important Question.
- A certain member of the House of Repre-
sentativee was called on not long ago to dee,
liver a few remarks to a gathering of Sun-
day school, scholars and he chose determin-
ation as the theme of his discourse. Ranging
along arsong those characters in history who
made therhaelves familiar by their courage
and resolution, he logically touched upon
the career of Juliais Caesar.
" And last," h said in an oratorical flight,
Julius Caesar, lled with the spirit that
leada men on to tory and to everlasting
fame, looked to ard the wonderful capital
of his country, sitting on the seven hills and
from her throne �f beauty ruling the world.
He felt the pulse; of hie future greatneas
throbbing in his oarsing veins and from his
serried legions' front, far to the north, he
saw the path that etretohed from the
tent door of the plain commander of the
Roman soldiery to the golden steps
of the imperial structure that crowned
the Capitoline hill. Then he gave the order
to march, and the hosts swept shouting for-
ward until their course was stopped by the
rolling floods of a mighty stream rushing re-
sistlessly to the sea. Here Camr halted,
but for an instant only. In that .instant
the glorious visions of a more glorious R me
filled his ambitious being and Caesar aro sed
the Rubicon. Crossed the Rubicon," h re-
peated, to intensify bift period, and then
asked with all the orators fervor, "And
why did Caesar cross the Rubicon? I ask
you, why did Caesar crosathe Rubicon ?"
I know," piped up a small boy before
the speaker could get to his next sentence.
"He crossed it 'cause he wanted to get on
the other Side' " and there spread over the
boy's face ouchan innocent look of pleased
triumph in having helped the crater out
that it was really heartless to reprove him.
But it crippled the speech badly. •

-Happyis that commonwealth where
the people fear the law as a tyran ; and
those persohs should be more honored who
in peace maintain the state in tranquility,

-Sulky labor and the labor of seirow are
of little worth; if you could only shed tran-
quility over the conscience and infuse joy
into the soil you would do more to.znake

could lend him the force of aereules, er the

-There s ap electric fire in human na-
ture tending to purity,so that among human

-Life isieverywhere more strenuous an
arduous than it used to be, more hurried

scale unknown in earlier times, and scatter
despair and lunacy on their way to jall or a
leisured eompetence, asi the case may be.

verge of a small plateitu,over o king the
bay. The plateau, inoatly dei td to rice

thickly wooded summits, ari rom the
outer verge the land sloped dasaa to the
sea. Below were 90 thatched dwellings
and a temple. These composed the village.
