Since Mrs. O'Lcary's COW got her name
in the papers the whole envious bovine
family are cutting up lidoes to securean
equal notoriety. The latest exploits are
by cow belonging to Mrs. Lambert
Of Bay City, Michigan. Exploring the
back yard on recent evening, she put
her head into barrel which she couldn't
get of, and becoming very much fright.
ened ut her condition she blindly forced
her way into the woodshcd, thence into
the kitchen, and thence into the dining.
room Of the house, becoming all the
while more furious. From this room
she made her way into the parlor, throw
ing down and tnmpling under foot ev-
erything that came in her way. Mrs
Lambert aroused her husband, who
arose, but finding he could do nothing,
went for help. The COW next rushed in
to the bedroom, where Mrs. Lambert,
with little baby and one child, occu-
pied a bed, and another little child a
crib in front OF it, Tho enraged animal
mounted the bed, and help arrived, but
not an instant to soon. The window
WIS raised from the outside, and n neigh.
Dor attempted to enter, when the barrel
give him blow which knocked him
back against tho fence. The children
were at last secured aud passed through
the window, and Mrs. Lambert soon fol.
lowed. The door Of the bedroom was
then closed and the COW left to herself.
She finally became soothed, and walked
ont after demolisling MI the nice furni.
ture in the lower part Of the house.

Died Suddenly Of IIcart Disease.

How common is the announcement.
Thousands are suddenly swept into eter'
nifty by this fatal malady. This disease
generally has its origin in impure blood
filled with irritating, poisonous mate
rails, which, circulating through the
heart, ir1itates its delicate tissues.
Though the irritation may at first be on
IL slight, producing little palpitation
or irregular action, yet by aud by the
disease becomes firmly seated, and in
flamation, or hypertrophy, or thickening
Of the lining membrane Of the valves, is
produced. How wise to give early at
tention to ease of this kind. Unnatu-
raj throbbing or pain in the region Of the
heart should admonish one that all is not
right, and il you would preserve it from
further disease, you must help it to beat
rightly by the use of such remedy rs shall
remove the cause of the trouble. Use
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
before the disease has become too seated,
and it will, by its great blood purifying
and wonderful regulating properties,
effect perfect cure. II contains medi-
cinal properties which act specifically
upon the tissues of tho heart, bringing
about healthy action. Sold by first.
