POST-MORTEM LESIONS. The effect of the tubercle bacillus on the body is to irritate and destroy the tissues. Lymphatic glands may become several times larger than normal and the liver and lungs greatly enlarged. The pleura and peritoneum may be thickened and covered with tubercles about the size of a millet seed, or larger.
This is all scarcely less true of Millet, whom we have known above all as the painter who has shown the simple common lot of labor as divine. But he, too, is artist for the sake of beauty first.

Fr. You lucky man! what a rare sight you had! And how big, now, did the towns and the people look from there? Me.
