Puck J There l more Catarrh In this eeetion of the country than all other discuses put together, nd until the laat few veara was au noosed to be incurable. For a great many years doctor pro nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, ana by constantly fulling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proTen catarrh to be a constitu tional disease, and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man , ufactured by F. J.

DISEASE THEIR UNDOING. eetllence Made Desreaerate) of the People la the MMsls irM In 1343 a pestilence that swept over the greater part of Europe well-nigh destroyed the moral sensibilities of the bumau race. Duriug the fcrevaleuce of the plague tbeie seemed to be no sense of bouor, no realization of duty to God or man In many parts of the continent. A physician of Avignon, Prance, writes of the conditions that then existed: "The father did not visit his son, nor the son his father. Charity was dead." Villa ut says of his neliibora at Flor ence thnt tbey behaved as "might per haps be expected from Infidels and savages. Men gave themselves up to the enjoyment of the worldly riches to which they had succeeded." The En glish manor court rolls record more than one case where a house bereft of Its occupants by the plague was plun dered by the neighbors and bodies of the dead stripped by their own fellow vIllugeN. The wealthy, lu the months following the plague, gambled, reveled, steeped themselves in gluttony and lechery; the poor Idled, brawled, took advantage of the necessities! of their lords and became irreligious and rebellious. Scarcely a writer fails to record the ntter eclflsbneea ef the period of the visitation and the dlauoluteneea and lowered morals which followed In Its wake. The survlvkig laborers Insisted on higher wages and employers used their influence with the government to pass laws to compel the acceptance of the' old rates. Contention raged be tween rich and poor, and the seeds' were sown for Jacqueries and peas ants' rebellions. The building of churches ceased for a time. The newly laid foundations of the vast nave and choir of the cathe dral at Siena were left as they were, and have never been built upou to this day. A thousand partially built churches remained Btutionary for a time and their construction was resumed only when architectural style had changed so distinctly that the line of division can still be seen. At Oxford and Cambridge and Paris the number of students was depleted and never again rose to Its former number. The clergy suffered more than any other class in the community. Many a monastery had lost its whole body of occupants, In others the few survivors, with di minished Income and discipline be cause of the death of tholr leading members, never refilled their numbers or regained their old prosperity and vigor. The bishops were compelled to ordain to the service of the church the young, the Inexperienced, the Illiter ate, and even then there were too few for its needs. . COLD ICE AND WARM ICE.

The college professor asked the rest of us whether Ice was colder In win ter than it was In summer. Now, to the rest of us, Ice was Ice, and there fore we could not see how It could re main ice and be either colder or warm er. Then the professor explained the thing In this fashion: "If a thermometer Is burled In Ice in summer It will Indicate 32 degrees. If you throw a piece of lee into boiling water, and leave it there until It Is al most gone, what Is left would be still at 82 degrees. Ice can never be got ten above that temperature. "But while Ice can never be warmed above 82 degrees, It will go as much below that as the weather does. An Iceman delivering Ice one zero day In January was asked whether his ice was any colder than , In July. He thought not. But, as a matter of fact, a piece of summer ice, If he had had It, would have been something of a foot warmer for him, as It would have been 30 degrees warmer than the. air of the bottom of his wagon. "Mixing salt with ice makes It much cooler. The ice in a wine cooler goes down to about zero. This is why the point zero on our common thermome ters was fixed where It is. It was supposed to be the lowest point which could be reached by artificial means. Since then we have reached about 883 degrees below zero by chemical pro cesses. "Ice will cool down with everything else- on a cold night to zero or below, What should prevent It? On a dny when it Is Just freezing a block of Iron and a block of ice outdoors will stay at 32 degrees. If the Weather grows warmer the Iron will warm up with the weather, but the Ice will stay at 82 degree? and melt away. But If the weather grows colder the iron and the ice will cool off, and one just as much as the other. "As the Ice grows colder It gets hard er and more brittle..
