Heart Disease.

a surgeon of the British army, who
has been investigating the causes of the
great prevalence of heart disease among
English soldiers, states that it is due to
the mechanical distractions to the
proper flow of the blood throuSR~the
arteries leading from the heart, caused
by the restrictions of the clothing and
accoutrements. Alterations in the dress
of the English soldiers are therefore
advised, the upright collar hooked tight
around the neck being especially objoo-
tiOnable. Aneurism Of the aorta, it is
asserted, is produced by the this style of
equipment. The tunic, with a turn
down collar, worn by the Au%strians,
which does not cause compression Of the
throat, and is therefore recommended as
a more suitable dress.

prey upon society at large, whether rich
or poor.
nu the houses of this kind we visited
we're alike the recognized and aeknowl-
.dged headquarters of thieves of this
district. Occasionally the detective find
a strsAge face, but generally he is a
| thi& who has made his W district too
lot for his safety. The new conner is
| ilways sheltered and fed by his col
leagues in crime, or, if his offence is
we'll known, is sent away to the country.
Among the worst class of beerhouses are
those which combine beer-selling with
,ome other trade. These are always
able to elude the vigilance of the police,
md in these the regular receivers of
stolen goods wait for the boy thieves,
rom whom they will purchase anything
"a single shoe, a pewter pot, a wag-
goner's whip, a horses nOse-bag, a piece
ii bacon, a brace of pheasants, a watch
IT handkerchief-everything in fact, on
which these Unsuitable young vagabonds
,an lay their hands. The amount they
receive for each article is almost nominal,
probably not more than a tenth of its
value, so that a young thief has to pilfer
to the value of some 30s. before he gets
3s. or As. to pay for his dinner, his place
in the gallery of a cheap theater, and
MS supper and bed at a cheap lodging
house. These receivers, it is almost
impossible to get hold of, for the boys
will not tell them-they dare nOt-and
the receivers don't tell of themselves.
With these receivers, worse than any
thieves, the very fountain head and
source of more than half the crime in
London, the police are almost power
less to deal. They have no authority to
search a beer-hOuse without a search
warrant, and long before a search
warrant is obtained the stolen goods are
removed or destroyed.
Another crying evil, and n equally
out of the ordinary power of the force
to deal with, are the leaving,shops.
These abound in the northeast and
southern districts of London. They are
mostly chambers shops; where any one
who is not respectable can leave any
thing be can lay his hands on and get
an advance of money, varying from a
pound to a penny,and no questions asked.
The facilities which these shops afford
for the disposal of stolen goods are al
most incalculable. The pledges are
kept for a month, and interest is charged
on advances at the rate of a penny for
every sixpence, whether redeemed the
same day or at the end of four weeks.

The United States Government has, with
a promptness ard liberality worthy of
ali praise, directed Admiral Davis to
furnish free transportation on a Govern

strangers. The intermediate period be-
tween war and peace will soon end,
when we can all get along. Even that
period is not so bad as are the trials Of
our poor friends now SO far away.
