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 hiving matter and disease e animal life; and unless pains are taken to fort fv ourselves aga nist thes~e inlluences, wi I are in constant dlanger. Trher*e are a few simple directions wh ch might be usefully given just now that may.W if noted and fo'lowed, pre vent serious disorders; and first-bo cause the most danugerouis-thme dIrink mug water calls for the most serious thught. lDo we ever think of what be comes of the mrads of insects that have until now infested almnost every leaf, and that with all the filth they have p rodnuced, have fallen to the ground and have (lied and disappeared, and of all thme dlead, rott-ing matter un dier our feet everywvhere? It is in greater part d1 ssolved and carried into the streams, pot~ds and spr ngs; anid from all t hese we directly or ind~irectly p roeumce our sup)ply of drink. It is hard - Idy safe to use any water, oven from thme deepost wells, because these are all more or less polluted by surface water at this season, wvithout boiling it; and seelial care shouldI be takeli ag'ainst drink .ng any wvater that has not been thoroughly bo led. It is just no0w that fevers, colds, sore throats anud intestinal disorders become frequent, and a very little prevenition may be more useful than a very large amount of cure. The closest at tention should be given to the health. TIhe feet should be kept dry and~ wvarm, and a chill to the body be carefully guarded against. TIhe per spir'at:on throwv oil' much of whatever umnwholesonme mat ter may be taken into, or produced in, the system; and a sud den stoppage of it throws back all this into the circulation and p)oisons the blo d wvith it. Thue result may be what we <(eLi a cold; or it may be more so rious and appe ir as a fever. or lpneu monia or dlipth~eria; and all of these dithor chiefly In degree and location, andi not so munch in character; for the for'mer maly easily change into the latter.

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 phan's retreat, until you are able to do 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 dise!" They were greatly surprised when they saw the small sweet-face of the deaud child that had escaped into lleaven andi was under the patronage of a greater power than theirs, and it began to dlawn upon them that what was to be done for the mother had better be done qjuickly.

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 month.

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 cometary phenomena have hitherto fall en short of the mark, t hey have s':rved to stimulate active in vcst)gation, and also to throw important light oin the physics of tihe su and the ditlusion of matter in inlterstellar space. --N.

I 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.

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.

"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~?"
