Memorial day. says the Chicago ' later Ocean, tends to restore the mrvral Ana nersonal equilibrium disturbed by the selfish activities of life.

It certainly ia disheartening to a pa tient to find that the treatment he ia riven for a disease is more disastrous than the disease itself. Such ia the case, however, with the usual treat ment criven for diseases of the blood. Notwithstanding the great progress made in many branches of medicine, the doctors have failed absolutely to find a successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having tiieir origin in tne diooq. inej giy but one kind of medicine, they know but one treatment, and whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctor's prescription ia always the .-ime ootaiih or mercury. Too much cannot be aaid of the harm ful and disast rous effect of these drugs. Tbe doctors are unable to rid the sys tem of the Doi&on. and direct their efforts toward covering np the aymp tomi from view.

For all practical purposes there are only two estates in the English parlia ment, lords and commons. Thus the phrase of the three estates, which hsd a meaning in France, became mean ingless in England. For centuries past there has been no separate estate of the clergy; some of their highest mem bers have belonged to the estate of the lords and the rest to the estate of the commons. Hence has arisen a com mon, but not unnatural misconception, as old as the long parliament, as to the meaning of the three estates. Men constantly use those words as if they meant the three elements among which the legislative power is divided. kino-, lords and commons. But an es tate means a rank, or order, or class of men, like the lords, the clergy, or the commons. The king is not an estate, because there is no class or order of kings, the king being one person alone by himself. The proper phrase la tne kino- and the three estates of . the realm. But in England, as I have al ready shown, the phrase Is meaning less, as we hare, in truth, two estates onlv. C A. Freeman's Growth of the English Constitution.
