The Heart and Its Diseases,

Death from heart disease Is of al
arming frequency. Almost daily we
hear that friends or acquaintance OF
pubic men have suddenly died, and
on inquiry it is found that the heart
was at fault. This fact has not I'M
frequently given rise to the remark
that it is strange the heart should 50
often be the seat of mortal disease
But the truth is we attach tar too
little importance to this organ and
its functions 1t performs its great
office so quietly and uninterruptedly
that We even forget it's existence
From a period anterior to birth until
death, during sleeping as well as
waking hours, ceaselessly and noise
lessly, with steady and measured
rhythm, it circulates the vital fluids
through evory tissue of the body
Soventy-fve times it pulsates in
minute, los, 600 times in the day,
without exhaustion or apparent need
OF repose. The heart is hollow
muscular organ, weighing but ten
ounces, and is suspended in Che cav
ity OF the chest by delicate ligaments.
And yet il performs quietly and
noiselessly, with but the slightest jar,
an incredible amount Of labor. In
twenty-fOur hours it is estimated
that the heart accomplishes more
than three times as much work as o
common laborer in ten hours
"Three old women sitting by the
fire" says recent scientific writer,
alternately spinning and sleeping,
do more work by the constant beat
ing of the hearts than can DO done
in day by the youngest and strong
est laborer." He adds :-"No labor
that we can undertake is regarded
as more severe than that of the mus
Gle employed during boat race and
yet this labor, severe as it is, is only
three-fourths Of that excrted day
and night, during life, by each of our
hearts"
If the entire force of the heart
were expended in lifting its own
weight vertically, it would be raised
1874 feet in one hour. Compare
this with the exertions of an active
pedestrian, who can raise his own
weight but 1000 feet per hour. and
we find the heart cxerts itself about
twenty limos as much force or with
the best locomotive, which can raise
its own weight 200 feetin one hour,
which is but onc-elghth of the energy
OF the human heart. TO q reflec-
tive mind, il cannot be matter of
surprise that this delicately construc-
ted organ, laboring so vigorously
without II moment'srest day or night.
should frequently and often sudden
ly, give over it's labor and cease to
act. On the contrary, it is rather q
matter Of astonishment that the
heart should maintain its integrity,
year after year, amid the scenes of
eXcitements through which the indi-
vidual passes for three score years
and ten. IN severest sickness, when
other organs fail, the heart pursues
the even tenor of it's way, continuing
It's pu,satl)n 10 the last moment Of
lifo Like a strong warrior in q cit
adel, it yields only when every res
ource has been exhausted.

enhanced prices which such goods attained. 1t
is not hazarding too much, therefore. to pre-
Dict that, should the war now in progress IN
Europe assume the proportions IL threatens.
We shall not suffer from diminished demand
for our staple though the forced stoppage Oh
the British and Continental looms resulting
from decreased consumption Of these pro-
duc.s.
It has been feared by some that our cotton
trade would suffer to o greater or less extent
from such difficulties as may be e1perlenced
in securing access to the principal European
markets. We do NOT believe. however, that
any serious effects need be apprebended from
this cause. But email proportion OF tho
total of our cotton export has found lts way
into the interior of Europe through the Ger
man ports. and the blockade of those ports,
even if made eFectual, will not have an ap-
preciable effect upon the Continental cotton
trade. The French ports, owing to the naval
weakness Of Prussia. will Of course remain
open, and the same is true OF Great Britain.
whether she is drawn into the Continental
complications or not. 1t is also probable that
the Spanish, Italian, Belgian and Du'ch ports
will remain open to cotton shippers under any
contingencies that can reasonably be antlcl-
pated. Wnile 1t is quite probable, therefore,
that some of the former channels of the cot.
ton trade may be closed. there is no reason to
fear that the demand for our staple will de.
cline, although the advantage OF any material
appreciation in it's value will mainly accrue to
carriers through the inc .se in freights.
