structure will be $0,000,000. The con¬
struction of the cathedral will be done in

Consumption is the cause of nearly
fifteen per cent of the whole number of
death", or about three in 1,000 of the
whole population each year of the world
over. Impure air and bad hygiene are
potent factors in its production. The
disease is most prevalent in temperate
climates, hut exists in a virulent form in
the tropics. The influence of altitude is
very marked. There is almost complete
immunity from the disease among the
higlicr Alj>s, the Andes, the Himalayas
and other extremely elevated regions;
vhile among the Tennessee and North
Carolina mountains, a case of true pul¬
monary consumption was seldom, if ever,
known to originate. In seeking a new

Facing whatever Fate sends me, and facing
