The New York TFi6uns, noting the
statement that Mr.. Fillmore had new
er seen a gram mar until he began the
study Of law at nineteen, says:
"Yet Mr.. Fillmore, both in writing
and speech, used the English Ian
guage with about the usual proprietyi
and, like most Of our respectable pub
lie men, be never lapsed into any
very glaring solecisms. 1t is the ac-
euracy with which so many OF our
half-edueated men write and speak
English which is surprising; and
there Is nothing like it, we suspect,
anywhere else in the world. Yet this
facility does not come from the study
Of grammar. There are not ten men
in the House OF Representatives who
could parse ten lines OF Milton ac-
eording to the rules Of Lindley Muir
ray; yet these gentlemen are never
guilty Of two negatives employed to
strengthen q negation, even when
denying charges Of fraud and corrup-
ton. These are facts which may well
lead US to revise our notions Of the ne
cessity of studying grammar as 1t Us
ualIy taught in our schools Our
American accuracy does not come OF
early drilling. 1t is to be attributed
to the general habit Of reading. 1t Is
In this way that the majority become
grammariRns by rote, and speak cor
rectly simply because they speak at
all. The verbs are made to agree
with their nominatiVe cases instinct
lively, and as q matter OF good breed
ing. Small mistakes are made, . as
they are by the best Of writers; but
nobody notices them except profess
sional teachers. who, in their turn,
make just as many"

sevcnty Pairs or Hands.

The variety and number OF needles
made in these days are wOnderful; the
surgeon, harness-maker, bOOk-binder,
felt worker, saddler, glover, embroid-
erer, and housewife, each wanting
needles of all shapes and sizes and
lengths. And when you think that
each needle has to pass through sew
enty pairs OF hands before it Is finish
ed and ready for use, you see what
pains is taken 10 reach excellence In
= very small thing.
Seventy pairs OF hands to make 3
needle aud each pair necessary tn
make the needle perfect. II only one
pair refused to do their part, the
whole would b.. q failure-nOt 8 nee
die would be right.
You see it is painstaking in little
things and in small parts which leads
to excellence and success. We are
apt to slight bits Of work, thinking it
is no matter and OF no account. But
it Is not so. The details OF 3 plan
must be faithfully carried out In or
der to make the plan q success. II
the parts Of work are all well done,
the whole will be complete, and only
then.
Aud 1t is just so In molding charae-
ter. It must be we'll done in parts,
faithfully finished In bits In order to
make q complete and beautiful whole.
Always be sure that the small and
common work which you have to do
Is thoroughly done. It is laithfulness
in little Things wnIeh mekts you re-
liable in great things.

Fashionable Heart Disease.

DR.. Lyman recently leetured In
New York, when he said:
Heart disease, among both ladies'
and gentleman, is the one must In
vogue at present. A synonym for
pseudo heart disease is Indigestion.
False modes OF dress, by crowding the
hearts, causes 1t to beat irregularly.
Remedy the dress and the heart will
faithfully perform its functions. The
heart is almost the last organ to be-
come diseased, because it has q great
work to do. Nature made 1t strong
and supplied IL with as few nerves as
possible. Women who faint, as arule,
have too small cavities for heart and
lungs. Painting is 3 provision Of na-
ture for the reinstatement Of the body,
by allowing the heart brief respite.
When the stomach Is unduly dis
tended by food, the heart Is crowded
and complains. Good. straight
shoulders are highly essential to wo-
men. II she possesses an erect form,
a woman's heart has better oppor-
tunity to bear evenly and healthfuliy.
Many mistake q palpitating sensa-
ton of the muscular wall Of that por-
ton OF the stomach nearest the heart
for an affection ofthe heart. Adlpose
or fatty accumulation around the
heart will often render its beating
labored and heavy. The heart is not,
however, diseased; it is only working
under difficulties. Prostration also
affects the beating of the heart,
causing it to puIsate more rapidly.
Strength will remove this difficulty.
1t is q theory with some physicians
that in a natural life the heart beats
only q given number Of times. Ii
this be SO, running up aud down
stairs, intense excitement, hurry, by
increasing the number Of heart-6eats
in q minute, diminish the length OF
ones life. It Is q well known fact
that a race-horse is not long lived,
because, having such demand made
upon the action of its heart, the heart
muscles wear out sooner than they
otherwise would.

nine DAYS on One BIseuIl.

The Lassen Advocate, Of March Z,
has this incident: T. n. Epfey, Of
Janesville, furnishes Us with the fol-
lowing: "Franklin H. Henderson, of
Indian Valley, Plumas county, left bis
home three miles from Taylorsville,
on the 21st of February, for Herberts
ranch, in Mountain Meadows, dis
lance about twenty-five miles. On
the 22d he left Herbert's ranch for
home, travelling on snow shoes. About
noon OF that day he got lost and trav-
eled for nine consecutive days before
he came to any house, until the I'd OF
March be came down to Honey Lake
Valley, three miles below Janesville,
at the Dubois ranch. Both feet were
frozen, one of them badly. Other
wise be is now feeling quite well.
From Herbert's ranch to The end OF
his journey must be about fOrty-hve
miles on an air line. He thinks he
must have travelled at least one hun
dred miles with but one biscuit to eat.
He was Obliged to abandon his snow
shoes on the second day, from the fact
that they were causing his feet o.
freeze. He was quite exhausted on
his arrival at Dubois place. When
he left home he only intended 70 Oe
absent two days, and his wife and
friends are no doubt very anxious
as TO his welfare. He Is nov att. h

The way trade beats population is
illustrated by the fact that the amount
OF the export trade OF the great COM
meFcial nations Of the world was, In
1855, but s., 4,24l, 100, 900, while in 1872
it had reached the sum of $9,276, 900, :
900, being an increase Of 4i8l per cent.
The per capita distribution Of this
trade was, in 1906, for each individ.
ual, $3.50, and in 1872, it amounted
to S29,76. So that, Notwithstanding
increase I'm population in the counties
TeIered.tO, the per capita increase IN
export trade has been 80 per cent.
