The Fall Season.
The "fall of the loat" is the season of
death and decay. The gorgeous color
ing of the leaves and the changing
huoi of the lower vegetat'on, are all
sigtnificative of this. It is the ripening
wbibh prece(les d nia that produries the
varied tints which c!othe the woods and
the shrubbery; and the beauty which
ploazos the eye is nothing less thIn the
covering that hides the inpleasant and
unwholesono ruins of the summer's
verdure. The fall season, with its
dying vegelation, its damns and fogs
and dr'.pping moisture and its sudden
changes, is one that calls for special caro
and proeau'ion. Deca and death re
produ:e themselves, nmd there is nnth
ing so hurtful to life as dead matter.
From it are spreadl upon every breezeo
germs whbch produce decomposition in

and unless pains are taken to fort fv

kever sick and destitute before.
But some good people, however, had
he case under consideration and were
,oing to do something for her as soon
Ls it could be determined whether she
)elonged to the city or county poor.
'here were some ladies who met once a
nonth in brocades and velvet and
alked of her as a "person," ani won
lored if she were deserving, and finally
hey decided to help her by taking her
>aby from her and sending it to a found
ing asylum until she could get well
Lnd support it. They thought as Mr.
)ombey did, she might get well easily
mnough if she wou'd just make an effort.
A committee of two went in a carriage
o the house whei e she lived, and grop
.ng their way pat the washerwoman's
ooiu and the horise-cleaner's room they
went carefully *ip the tottering stairs
ind found her door and opened it.
I don't think either of the ladies
vould have sacr~iced a diamond ring
o make her omfortable, but they
would have begged for her up one side
if the street and down the other and
Lold her what to do with the money now
she had it, and sent her a shoulder
shawl and some unbleached cotton. and
their sensitive hearts were troubled by
the squalor of the place and the pale
pinched features of the womau lying on
the miserable bed, but they rallied to
their work.
" The society for helping the helpless
has considered . your ease," said the
spokeswoman, "and have decided to
assist you. We will take your baby and
see that it is provided for at the ot

qomething. The ladies have been very
kind in interesting themqelves."
Strangely enough she did not rise up
to thank them, she only turned away
her head with a mortal weariness.
" And we will take the child with us
in our carriage-it will be a great relief
to you."
T1he mother mnovedl one pale hand and
turned the corner of the shee ot from the
baby's face.
"You c-mnot have her," she said,
faintly, "bhe is wvith the angels in Para

They were greatly surprised when
they saw the small sweet-face of the
deaud child that had escaped into lleaven

greater power than theirs, and it began
to dlawn upon them that what was to

VicarIous Sacrifice.
A good many years ago a cishier
took a little lad from a neighboring
poaor-house, and when the boy hand 1)0
come a youth he was given a responsi
ble position in the bank of which his
patron was practically the head. Later
the cashier stole more than S15i,000 from
the bank. Exposure was threatened
every day, and the guilty voficer, in a
period of depression, confessed to the
youth that he proposed to kill himself.
~Young Rtay, the protege, was smitten
with horror, as he thought of the terri
ble turn in affairs, but, having weighedl
the matter, the next day he threw him
self into the breech, ie suggested, and
the cashier eagerly accepted the sugges
tion, that he shoul 1d fasten the guilt uponl
himself and abscond, thus leavimg his
p~atron honeO-t in the world's eyes, thiou~th
blackened in his own. What the public
heard of the Westport robbery was that
a bank cierk named Itay had stolen
$15,000.
D~et ectives found several clowsq, but not
until years afterward was the secret ii
closed. One of the detectives who had
been employed in the case came up with
ltay under still mo're romantic circum
stances. The dletect ive, according to his
reminiscences published in a Smn Fran
cisco paper, was called recently to a
Wes3tern city to ferret out the person
who had robbed a private house of 200
gold eag'es. The only man under arrest
was one llenry Martin. As soon as the
dletective saw Martin he said: "You are
Dallas htay, who robbed the WVestport
bank." Rtay then toidl the true story of
the robbery, and the story has been ver
ified since, lIe claimed that ho was In
nocent of the gold eagle burglary, and
asked the detective to take a note to his
sweeiheart, a Miss Morse. WVhen the
atter heard of her lover's predicament
she threwv her whole soul into obtaining
p roof of his innocence. She went to the
ouse w here. the robbery had been corn
mritted. Hlaving asked if the burglar had
eft anything in his flight, she was given
a handkerchief that had been dropped
by the intruder. She put the handiker
shief to her no~o and e'xclaimed: "Find
the thief who uses this perfume (namine
the peculiar brand) and you will find
your eagles." it was found that only
rne drug store in the city sold that kind
of perfumery, and that only one bottle
bad been bought within the preceding

The Mystery 'ohimets' Tads.
The cometpry d'splays of the lat two
years have exolted in an unusual degree
the spirit of astronomical speculation
as to the catses of coizets' tails and
their mysterions movemnents. An En.
glish secentist in the Philoso hical Aag
uzene propounds a novel theory to ex
plain these phenomena. The forces on
which he rl ies to make out his theory
are the force of gravty which urges
the comet toward the sun, the expansive
force of the sun's heat, and the res'at
ance of an invis.ble atmoqphere sur
rounding the sun at immense distances.
The cha iges in a comet which give rise
to .ts t il Legin witli the emission of ua,
in the d'rectioh determined by the ex
pansi% e force of the sun's heat actino
Qn the comet. But soon tQheso jets bend
round, as. if carred back by a stron -
wind, forlming an en elope round the
body of the comet and a cone belh!nd
it, as would happen to a man dressed
in a loose robe and running rapidly
aginst the wind. The jets of gas es
caping tiom the body of the comet an I
expandfing when they leave it are more
resisted by the 'un's atmosphere than
its more solid heat, so that they seem
to fall behind it, forming the comet's
envelo)e an11d conical form behind the
head. Accordng to this view the bo lv
of the comet 19 constantly mlovinr
through the vapors it thromvs oil, anI
thus produces the appearance of a ta .
by leaving each successive part thrown
o1'Y more and more behind it. A ter
I i ts )eriheliOl the comet carries
is ta. l before it instead of behind it. he
says. because While moving toward tile
sun it is perpetually passing from a
rarer Into a inser medumi, while in
re, eding from the sun it is per1 etually
paiss ng iroim a den-er into a rarer me
dium. *
The fact that the most rapid altera
tion in the direction of comets' tails
necessarily o, curs just when the expan
sive force of the siun's heat is most le-t
ires plaus:bility to this hypotheiis.
ee1' can be little doubt that, as Mr.
Huggins observes: "If we could see a
great comot. during its distant wander
mgs, when it has put off the gala trapj)
pingsof perihelion excitement, it woutild
appear as a very sober object, and con
a st of little more than nu lOs alone."
The same may perhaps be said of the
m, sterious wan-lerer while approaching
the sun, but not near enoug ,h to under
go va- or'zation from the solar heat or
encounter the denser strata of the
invisible solar atmosphere. The re. (nit
inquiry of Dr. Siemens into the con
servation of solar energy also ]ends col
or to the theory that comets whenl near
the sun may eneounter a resisting medi
um, which would account for the plic
nomena in questign asi the writer re
ferred to supposes. But astronomers
are yet far from solving the old prlob)
!ems of the origin and ec'centric be
havior of comets' tails. " T.1here seems
to be,"' says Mr. lugg'ns, "'a rapidly
growing feeling among physie'sts thait.
both the sel light of comets anid the
p~henomllenla of their tails be'ong to the
order of electric phe(lnmena." T 1hiis
view, in order to accounit for the carry.
ing away of the comie:s ta'i under an
ele. tric repulsion exerted by the s~ m,
necess-tates the supplositioni that the sun
is strongly electri 'ed, either 1-osit ively
or negatively, and also that, in th'e
changes going on in the comet, the ima~t
ter thrown off by the nueleus haxs be
come strongly eloetritied in the samne
w ay as the sun. G ther wise I ho e~ I r
tion on one sidle of everyV pa rt icle of
the comet would be plsec.~Lly equal - as
H~erschel points out-to the repulsion
on its opp)osite side, and we shuoubtl
therefore be at a loss to explain thei
enormous veloeity wvith which the mat
ter of the ta I a carried backward, in
opposition both to the motion it hadl as
pa rt of the nucleus and to that it ac
quiired in the act of its (miissionl. Buit
while all theores designed to explain

TeCeO.U600ie C'AUSOA by He 3la1tfat I
An unusual article from the Itochester, j
N.Y., Democrag and Chropicle, was published
in this paper recently; and has been the
subject of much conversation, both in
professional circles ahd on the street.
Apparently it caused more commotion in t
Rochester, as the fellowing from the same 3
paner Rhows:
Dr. J. . Renton, who is well known,
not only in Rochester, but in nearly every
part of Amerlca, sent an extended article
to this paper a few days since, which was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and respue from what seemed to
be certain death. It would be Impossible to
enumerate the personal inquiries which c
have been made at our office as to the
validity of the article, but they have been 1
so numerous that further investigation of C
the subject was deemed an editorial
necessity.
With this end in view a representative
of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his
residence on St. Paul Street, when the
following interview occurred: "That article
of yours, Doctor has created quite a
whirlwind. Are the statements about the
terrible condition you were in, and the
way you were rescued such as you can
sustain "
"Every one of them, and many addi
tional ones. Few people ever got so near r
the grave as I did and then return, and I
am-not surprised that th'e public think it
marvelous. It was marvelous."
" How in the world did you, a physician,
come to be brought so low?"
" By neglecting the first and most sim
ple symptis. I did not think I was sick.
It i true I had frequent headaches; felt
tired most of the time; could eat nothing
one day and was ravenous the next; felt
dull, indefinite pains, and my stomach
was out of order, but I did not think it
meant anything serious."
" But have these common ailments any
thing to do with the fearful Bright's dfs
ease which took so firm a hold on you?"
" Anything? Why, they are the sure
inl1dications of the first stages of that dread
ful malady. The fact is, few people know
or realize what ails them, and I am sorry
to say that too few physicians do, either."
"'That is a strange statement, Doctor."
"But it is a true one. The medical pro
fession hav been treating symiptoms
instead of diseases for years, and it is high
time it ceased. We doctors - have been
clipping off the twigs when we should
strike at the root. The symptoms I have
ust mentioned or any unusual action or
irritation of the water channels indicate
the approach of Bright's disease, even
more than a cough announces the coming
of consumption. We do not treat the
cough but try to help the lungs. We
shoulJ not waste our ttne trying to re
lieve Wue headache, stoimach, paiti about
the body or other symptoms, but go di
rectly to the kidneys, the source of most
of these ailments."
"This, then, is what you meant when
you said that more than one-half the
deaths which occur arise from Bright's
disease, is it, Doctor?"
" Precisely. 1Tiousands of so-called dis
eases are tort-uring people to*(day, when in
reality it is Bright's disease in some one of its
many forms. It is a Hydra-headed mon
ster, and tihe slightest sympltomis should
strike terror to every one who has them.
I can look back andI recall hundreds of
deaths which physicians declaredl at the
timie were caused by paralysis, agnplexy,
heart disease, pneumonia. malarial fever
and other coimmon comnplain ts, w~hijch I
see no0w were caused by Birighat's disease."
" And did all these cases hlave simplei
symptoms at first?''
" Every one of them, and iht have
been cured as I was by the timely use of I
tihe samne remedy-Warner's Safe Kidney
and hiver Cure. I ami getting: my eyes'
thoroughly o pened in thlis mat ter, and I
think I am helIping o)thers to see the facts
and their possible danger also. W~hy,. there
are no end of tru this hearinig on this subl
ject. If you want to know more about it
go and see Mr. WVarner himself. lec was
sick the same time as I, and is the heal
thilest man in Rochester to-day, lie has
made a study of this subject anil Can give
you mrore facts thl-mn I carn. Gjo, too, and
see D~r. Latti more, the chemist, at the
University. If you want facts there are
any quantity of them, showing thne alarmu
ing increase of Brigh t's dlisease, its simple
andl deceptive syrimytonms, anid that there is
but one wayr by which it can be escaped."
Fully satisfied of the ti-utha and for-ce of
the Doctor's wordls, the reporter bade him
good day and cal led on Mr. Warner at his
establishment on .Exchiange Street. A t
first Mr. WVarner was inclinied to be reti
cent, but learning that lhe informuation
desired was about the alarming increase of
Bright's disease, his manner changed in
stantly, and he spoke very earnestly.
"It is true that lright's disease hasi in
creased wonderfully3, anid we find, by rel i
able staitistics, that in thre past~ teni 'vears
it~s grow th has been 250 per cent. Look alt
the prominent men it hais carried ofr:
Everett, Sum ner, Chase, Wilson, Carpen
ter, Bishop IHaven andl others. This is
terrible, and shows a greater growth than
that of any other known coimphiint. It
should be p latin to every one that somec
thing mu ist bed done to check the inicrease.
or there is no knowing wheie it mnay enad"
"D~o you think many people are aftli icted
.with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.
Warner ?"
"Hundreds of thousands. 1 have a
striking example of this truth which has
just come to my notice. A prominent
professor in a New Orleans medical college
was lecturi nig be fore his class on tile subject
of Birighit's disease, lie had various fluids
under microscopic analysis, and was show
ing the students what the indications of
this terrible malady were. In order to show
the contrast between healthy and unheal
thy flnids lie had provided a vial the con
tentsof which were (drawn from his own per
son. 'And nOw, gentlemen.' hetsaid, 'as we
have seen thne unhealthy indications, 1 will
show yotu how it a ppears in a slate of per
feet health,' and lie submaitted ihis -owna
fluid to the usual test. As lhe watched the
results his coun tenarnce suddenly changed
-his color and command both left him,
and In a trembling voice he said: 'Gentle
men, I have made a painful discovery; I
have Bright's disease of the kidneys,' and
and in less than a year he was (lead."
"You believe, then, that it has no
symptoms of its own, and is frequently
unknown even by tile person who is
afficted with it?"
" It las no symptoms of jtsq own and
very often none at all. Usually no twe
people have the same symptoms, and fre
qurently death is the first symptom. Th.
sihahtest indications of any kidney difli
culty should be enough to strike terror to
anyone. I know what I anm talking about,
for I have been through all the stages of
kidney disease."
" You know of Dr. ien lon's case?"
"'Yes; I have both read anid heard of it.''
"It is very wonderful, is it riot?"
"A very promiinenit case but no more so
than a great many others that have come
to my notice as having been cured by the
%amel( meianis."
"You believe, then, that Bright's disease
can lbe cured~?"
"I know it can, I know it from the
experience of hundreds of prominent
pei sons who were given up to die by both
their physicis and friends."
" You speak of your own experlence,
wh at wan it.?"
" A fearful one. I had felt langtuld and
unfitted for husiniess for years. But I did
lnot know what all me. When, however.
I founid it was kidney diffculty, I thought
t here was little hope, and so did the doc
tors. I have sinice learned that one of the
phaysiciarns of this city p)ointed me out to a
n'rtleman on the street 0on0 (lay, saying:
'There goes a man who will he dead withrin
a year. I believe his words would have
proven true if I had not fortunately se
cured aridusedthe remedy now known as
ireed with the.awadsminss ead staIt
f his statements, ad next paid a visit I
Or. 8. A. Lattimore, at his residence o
Orine Street. Dr. attimore, altbong
uly en ped upn some matters oor
ected the Kate Board of Health, c
rhich he is one of the analysts, .Court
usly answered the questions that wer
>ropounded him:
"Did you make a chemical analysis c
be ease of Mr. H. H. Warner, some thre
'ears ago, Doctor?"
" Yes. sir."
"What did this analysis show you?"
"The presence of albumen and tub
asts in great abupdance."
"And what did the symptoms ind]
ate ?"
"A serious disease of the kidneys."
"Did you think Mr. Warner could r(
over?"
" No. sir; I did not think it possible. 1
vas seldom, indeed, that so pronounced
aqe had, up to that time, ever bee:
ured."
"Do you know anything about th
emedy which cured him?"
" Yes, I have chemically analyzed it, an,
ipon critical examination, find it entire1
ree from any poisonous or deleteriou
ubstances."1
We publish -the foregoing statements i
lew of the commotion which the put
icity of Dr. Henilon's article has caused
nd to meet the protestations which hav
een made. The standing of Dr. Henlor
Ir. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the corr
aunity is beyond question. and the stat4
aents they make cannot, for a miomeni
e doubted. They conclusively show thr
irigh t's disease of the kidneys is one c
he most deceptive and dangerous of a
iseases, that it is exceedingly commor
larmingly inoreasing and that it can b
ured.
