Fashionable Heart Disease.

DR.. Lyman recently lccturcl in
New York, when he said:
Heart disease, among both ladies
and gentlemen, is the one most
I'm vogue at present. A synonym for
pseudo heart disease is Indigestion.
False modes of dress, by crOwding
the heart causes 1t to beat irregularly.
Remedy the dress and the heart will
faithfully perform its functions. The
heart Is almost the last organ to he,
come diseased, because it has great
work to do. Nature made 1t strong
and supplied 1t with rs few nerves as
possible. Women who faint as a rule,
have too small cavities for heart and
lungs. Painting is provision Of
nature for the reinstatement Of the
body, hy allowing the heart brief re-
spite. When the stomach is unduly
distended by food, the heart is crowd
ed and complains. Good, straight
shoulders are highly essential to wO-
men. If she possesses an erect form,
q woman's heart has q better OppOr-
tunity to bear evenly and healthfully.
Many mistake a palpitating sensation
of the muscular wall of that portion
vi tIC StOlIittCit viz hNoist VI
fatty accumulation around the heart
will often render its beating labored
and heavy. The heart is not, how
ever, diseased; it is only working
under difficulties. Prostration also
affects the beating of the heart, caus-
ing 1t to pulsate more rapidly.
Strength will remove this difficulty.
1t is a theory with some physicians
that in q natural life the heart beats
only given number of times. fthis
intense excitement, hurry, by increas.
ing the number of heart-beats in q
minute, diminish the length of ones
life. 1t IL q well known fact that O
race-horse Is not long lived, because
having such u demand made upor
the action of its heart, the hear
muscles wear out sooner than they
otherwise would.

Your every day toilet is a part of
your character. n girl who looks like
a "fuiy" or sloven i'm the morning
is not TO be trusted, however finely
she may look in the evening. No
matter how humble your room may
be, there are eight things it should
contain, viz: A mirror, wash. stand,
soap, towel, comb, hair, nail ana
tooth brushei. These are just as es-
sential as your breakfast, before which
YOU should make good and free use OF
them. Patents who fail to provide
their children with such appliances,
not only make Il great mistake, but
commit u sin Of omission. Look tidy
in the morning, and after the dinner
work is over, improve your toilet.
Make 1t n rule of your daily life to
"dress up" for the afternoon. Your
dress may, or need not be, anything
better than calico; but with a ribbon,
or some bit of ornament, you have an
air of self-respect and satisfaction, that
invariably comes with being well
dressed. A girl with fine sensibilities
cannot help feeling embarrassed and
awkward In ragged, dirty dress
with her hair umkempt, If a stranger
or neighbor comes in. Moreover, YOU
self.respect should demand the decent
apparcling of your body. You should
make II q point to look rs well as yol
can, even IL you know nobody vii
see you but yOursclf.-HOusehold.

Sahara In the Past.

DR.. little, the geOlogist who uc-
companies the expedition OF Rolffs in
in its researches through the Sahara,
in the latest of his letters on the
characteristics of that desert, cstab-
fishes, with great clearness, says the
Pal Nall Gazette, and by more than
one distinct proof, the theory that 1T
is the dried up basin Of q former
shallow sea. The fine quartz sand,
In particles never larger than the head
of a pin, which forms at once the
main feature of the danger of its sur
face, is not produced from any forma-
ton in or near it, and must have been
carried to 1t by some foreign agency.
The real surface of the desert Is bare,
dry, chalk plateau, at first examin-
alton resembling that of the Swabian
Alps, but in reality of a much more
recent origin. Above ii rises here
and there the isolated peaks of the
Arabs Witnesses" which are Of
later chalk again. The tops of these,
where several are visible In plane,
showing that they are the fragments
of an ancient surface, the intervening
spaces of which have been wasted
away. If the question be asked by
what, there being no ground what
ever for supposing torrents of glacial
actions, the answer can only be by
tho constant beating on it of waves
dissolving the softer portions. But a
more interesting point to many geol-
ogists will be DIR. Zittle's comments
on the splinters of flints which are
produced i'm great quantities round
certain peaks by the cutting process
of the alternative slight dews and
frosts which the expedition has found
to be common in the winter nights in
the Sahara. The fragments lie around
in profusion, and to careless Observ-
er might appear not unlike some of
the ruder flint chips Of the first part
Of stone age. But DIR. little, who has
made a study of the latter, took pains
to examine some thousands of those
natural clippings of flint, and found
but a single one which an experienc.
ell eye could take to resemble those
which have attracted so much notice
i'm Europe. Hence he concludes that
the Sahara HInts afford fresh and
very strong indirect proof Of the pro
duction of the Others by the human
agency to which science has already
assigned them.

The fiaX.seed was first planted in
England in 1888. The first flax water
mill was invented in Scotland about
1850.
Fire-ships were first used in the six
teenth century, They were first en-
ployed by the English navy in the
engagement with the Spanish Arma-
da, July, 1888.
The language of France was first
introduced into England by William
1, in 1866. Law pleadings were
changed from French to English in
the reign of Edward iii, 1862.
An angel was an ancient gold coin,
weighing four pelpy-weights, 1t was
valued In English at 5s. Sd. in the
reign of Henry VI, and at los. In
the reign of Elizabeth, 1862.
The hearths of the early Britons
were fixed i'm the center of their hills.
The fireplace, originally, was per-
haps nothing more than large stone
depressed below the level Of the
ground to receive the ashes.
Funeral games are mentioned by
most early writers. Among the Ro-
and mortal combats of gladiators
around the funeral pile. They were
finally abolished by Claudius. A tax
was laid on funerals in England in
1893.
Dials were invented by AnaXi-
maner, 500 B. C.. The first dial of
the sun in Rome was placed on the
Temple of Quirinus by l.. Papirius
Currar, when the time was divided
into hours. In the times of the en-
perors almost every palace and pub
lie building had sun dial.
History informs us that the product
of the silk-worm was first utilized in
China 1915 years ago, through the en-
couragements of the Empress ST.
ling-Chi, to whom is attributed the
invention of silk stufis. The secret
of silk-worm culture was finally
stolen from China, and ultimately
spread all over the globe; for twenty
years, however, the Chinese kept the
secret faithfully death was the PEN
atty which any one incurred who at
tempted to impart q knowledge of it
to any outside nation, and their
frontiers were guarded closely to pre-
vent the secret from being carried
abroad.
The coffin in which the body of
Richard III, was placed atterward
did service rs u hOrse-trough. Dur
ing the battle Of BoswOrth Field he
received several wounds; each of
which would have proved mortal
His armor was go broken and his
features were so delaced that he was
hardly to be recognized when dragged
from beneath n heap Of slain. The
body, perfectly naked, with Il rope
round the neck, was flung across a
horse like the carcass of q calf, and
was thus carried in triumph to Lei
cester. 1t was exposed for two days
in the Town Hall, and then buEied
without ceremony in the Gray
Frairs Church. At the destruction
of the religious homes the remains
were thrown out, and the coffin,
which was of stone, was converted
into watering-trough at the White
Horse Inn.

Style In Writing.

The best writer is he who can con-
vey the clearest thoughts in the short
est space. Some writers so hide their
thoughts in useless words that 1t be-
comes a task after you have read q
column to comprehend its meaning.
Ornament in style is good when II
beautifies the thoughts advanced 1t
is inexcusable when it covers them
from sight. A writer, before ne
touches pen, should first get a clear
idea of the subject he Is to handle;
this well understood, his next effort
should be to say what he has to say
in the fewest words possible. We
would not have a single thought
dwarfed by q stingy use of language
but even this would be better than to
sec it choked out of existence by a
superabundance of words. Write to
the point, and when you havereached
it, stop. 1t requires severe mental
training to acquire that simplicity OF
expression which conveys to us the
grandest thoughts in the fewest
words. vet 1t is within the province
of all to approach if not equal 1t. 1t
has been said that it is more difficult
to abridge an article than to write
one; that 1t requires more time to
write short article well than to pre-
sent the same thoughts in double the
space. When Queen Annie told DIR.
Scott that his sermon had only lone
fault-that of being too short-he re-
piled that he should have made 1t
shorter IL he had had moro time
Let our writers-especially those oil
the press-boll down their efforts be-
fore they present them to the public
In this fast age, the man who can say
the best things i'm the shortest space
Is not far removed from a public ben-
factor.

Another balloon Expedition.

The failure of all North Pole Ex-
peditions to discover the secret of the
Arctic regions has stimulated the
Aeronautic Society, of Paris, to at
tempt an Arctic balloon voyage. Ex-
travagant as the notion may appear,
II Is not moro extravagant than Pro-
fessor Wise's project of crossing the
Atlantic Ocean In balloon. One
advantage of an aerial North Pole
voyage Is the temperature OF the
Arctic regions, which prevents the
escape of gas from the balloon to
such a degree that It's supposed to be
quite feasible to construct a balloon
which will last a three months voy-
age. Another advantage Is the alb
sence OF darkness I'm the Northern re.

summer time the sun will illuminate

Happy Children.

AS h0use-plants can not flourish
without sunshine, so children cannot
thrive and be happy without love.
How radiant are their bright faces as
they respond TO tones and words of
affection from the lips Of their parents
Little they know of the deep solici-
tude, of the constant care exercised
toward them; but they do fully
understand and appreciate prOtesta-
tiOns of love and tenderness. Why
should we be chary of these, when
they cost only speaking: 81 know
nOw," said n lady not long ago, "that
my mother loved me tenderly, but
during all my childhood doubted it.
If / were really dear to her, l queried
why did she never tell me so? Why
did she never caress me, and assure
me of her love? She thought her
actions spoke loudly enough, without
words, could not read her actions
then as can now, and how / lOnged
to hear her call me loving names, and
to have her wrap me in the sweet
embrace of her strong mother love-"
Many q little heart aches just as this
lady's did, and can be made happier
by the spontaneous utterances OF
maternal OBJECTION than by beads, or
dolls, fine clothes, or costly toys.
Children who grow up in this con-
slant atmosphere Of love, are rarely
mischicvous, never vicious. The
mighticst of all agencies to lead the
young in paths of virtue is in the
hands of parents, and to command
this agency they need but give eX.
preston to the natural overflow OF
their hearts.
Children, to be happy, need en-.
couragement and praise. 1t is not
enough that they escape censure
Negatives are always cold and blank
Our little ones want warm, positive
approval when they have done right
thus they will be made to feel thai
the paths of wisdom are the paths o
pleasantness and peace.

Advertisements.

An exchange puts it properly when
il says: We see good many adj
vertisements about the country on
trees and fences. That may. bca good
way to avoid the newspapers, but 1t
is a poor way to advertise. Half of
them are signs Of men who are not in
business here, and people do not
know which are the live ones, and
which belong to the fellows who
have gone out Of business and left ;
hence they seldom pay any attention
to signs stuck around on fences and
trees. After all, people rely on news
papers for their advertisements. They
expect those who advertise In 9
newspaper are really alive In busi,
ness. A man can go out and reao
the .slgns, and whom he comes tt
town no will have hard work to fint
most OF the firms whose names ar'
on them. 1t may be cheap to thu
Jump the paper, but In the long rui
Il don't pay half as well as an adver
tIsment fresh every week."
