IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD,We have seen bosts of letters from all sorts and conditions of people, in which the writers acknowledge the benefit they have received from Clarkes's Blood Mixture, which as a curative agent cannot be too highly estimated, since it cleanses and clears the blood from all impurities and reatores it to its normal condition. This is a good testimonial from the Family Doctor, the popular medical weekly, which goes on further to say: It is certainly the finest blood purifier that selence and skill have brought to light, and we can with the utmost confidence recommend it to our anbegribers and public generally.

M. GORKY'S NEW PLAY.

ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 4.-A new play by Maxim Gorky, entitled The Rustics, was recently produced here. The following ac- count of its reception was published in the Journal de St. Petersbourg

The piece came to an end in a scene of uproar. After the third act some of the public began to hiss, whereupon the Gorky enthusiasts, mostly young people, began to applaud vociferously, and called for the author. The curtain was raised, and Gorky appeared alone, his head thrown back, a look of contempt on his countenance, his fists clenched, and his face lividly pale as if he wished to fling in the face of the people a deadly insult. Fortunately, he had enough strength to control himself, and, appearing twice, maintained his attitude and expression of defince and supreme con- tempt.'
