While asserting the cow almo-t nn iveraally-scceptrd belief that the poison* which give rise to many of the most impor- tant diseases of mankind consist of minute organisms, Dr. Mai-lagan states strongly win the the fact that the knowledge we poraasa of these poisons is not derived from a study of the poisons themselves, but from a study of tne disease caused by them. B. fore the microscope had detected the organism it perfectly well known, from a study of disease, that the organism was there. Uf all those diseases of which the organism ha* not yet been discovered it is perfectly well known that they are due to organisms. This i* evident from the growth of them in the system during illneu. The sufferer re- ceives only enough to poison himself, but gives off enough to poison hundreds. It i* evident, therefore, that reproduction i* K""'f? un . a1 "' nothing in i in -i tt i IK tin . na ture U ever repioduced except an or- ganism. Fut I.ern or s these poitons, like other organisms, breed true. Smallpox pro daoea only smallpox, just as dog* produce dogs and roae tree* roses. The fact that the diseased system gives off poisons is not the only proof of reproduction. If you give a man a dose of any ordinary poison, like opinin or arsenic, the full effects are shown almost a* *oon an it can be taken into the system. But it il very different with the poison* of smallpox, malaria, and kindred diseases. A period varying from two days to two weeks elapses between the reception of the poison by the system and the first evidence that it is there. The poison has immensely multiplied in the interval. This i*, of course, evidence of reproduction. If the full itrength which the ponton has ac- ijuired in its Taller stages were introduced engaged in a sea fight with a hostile war into the system immediately, the patient ship, the Shah. She is to besent to Bermuda would die from Ihe attack, just as he die* from a dose of arsenic. However, the effects are scattered over many weeks.

The religion of the Prophet is decidedly (elfish, and was probably mouliled to til jiuitiuch men as make up the bandi of slave-hunters. Picture a little village in Darkest Africa. Whatever may be the condition of life, it is certainly as the inhabitant* choose to make it ; and however savage the people are, there ii no <jne*tiou but that they must enjoy a certain freedom of existence, and hold family tie* that even the beait* are not )>ereft of.
