Causes of sudden Death.

Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from diseases of the heart
do really arise from that cause. To ascer-
tain the real origin of the sudden deaths,
an experiment was tried and reported to a
scientific congress at Strasburg. Sixty-six
cases of sudden death were made the sub
ject of thorough post mortem examina-
tion. In these cases only two were found
who died from disease of the heart. Nine
out of sixty six had died of apoplexy,
while there were forty-six cases Of c)nges-
tion of the lungs; that is, the lungs were
so full of blood that they could not work,
not being room enough for sufficient
amount of air to support life. The causes
that produce congestion of the lungs are /:
cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowls, sit
ting still until chilled after being warmed
with labor or rapid walk, going too sud-
denly from close room into the air,
especially, after speaking, too hasty walk
ing, or running to catch q train, etc. These
causes of sudden death being known, an
avoidance of them may serve to iengthen
many valuable lives, which would other
wise be lost under the verdict of the heart
complaint. That disease is supposed To
be inevitable and incurable, hence many
may not take the pains they would to
aviod sudden deaih, If they knew it lay in
their power.-lNew York World.

Judieious Advertising.

from the vestabule of the - church. 1t
was gift; and, yaluing it very highly, l
spent double its worth in advertising, but
word your advertisement 2" asked mer-
chant. Here it it," said the man pro-
ducing slip cut from newspaper. The
merchant took it and read: "Lost from
the vestabule of the ----n church, last
Sunday evening, black silk umbrella.
The gentleman who took it will be hand
somcly rewarded by leaving it at No. =
San Fernando street," "Now," said IT, e
merchant, II am liberal advertiser, and
have always found that it pays we'll. A
great deal depends upon the manner in
which an advertisement is put. Let us
try for your umbrella again, and if you
do not acknowledge then that advertise
ing pays 1 will purchase you a new one."
The merchant then took a slip OF paper
from his pocket and wrote: If the man
who was seen to take an umbrella from
the vcstabule OF the - church last
Sunday evening does not wish to get into
trouble and have a stain cast upon the
Christian character which he values SO
highly, he will return it to No. - San
Fernando street. He is we'll known"
This only appeared in the paper, and on
the following morning the man was as
tonished when he opened the front door
of his residence. On the porch lay at
least dozen umbrellas of all shades and
sizes that had been thrown n from the side
walk, while the doOryard was literally
paved with umbrellas. Many of them
had notes attached to them, saying that
they had been taken by mistake, and beg

White Pine for Barren Fields.

We call the Shakers peculiar people,
and perhaps we do them no injustice, but
like many other classes and societies, with
all of whose ways we do not sympathize,
they are capable of giving us profitable
ideas if we will only accept them. The
Shakers do not bestow much thought up
on art. but they work in admirable har-
mony with nature. Their splendid ave-
nues of trees, their farms under almost
perfect cultivation, show that they do not
slight the gifts with which they have been
intrusted. A writer in New Haven pa
per says that probably no man in all
New England has done more in a acertain
line for the benefit of posterity than Elder
Omar Pease, of the North family, at the
Shaker settlement at Enfield. He has
sown in the last thirty years over two hun
dred acres of white pines, and to-day, from
the hill east of his residence can overlook
heights indicating their variOns ages. He
says only once in about three years do the
white pine seeds ripen. Four quarts Of
seed, we'll distributed, will stock an acre.
His best success has been after buckwheat
and without narrowing. Pines grow
where the land IS poor, and where a man
has 200 acres OF cOmely-growing trees
raising annually to his memory IN this
world leaves u monument better than
marble" All of this is true, and we wish
it might not be simply abstract truth.
There are thousands of acres in New
England now bearing nothing better than
mullen and sorrel that might be treated
to the white pine remedy and become a
richly paying tcrritory.-[B Boston Post.

A White An Africa.

Major Serpa Pinto, the Portuguese trav-
eler il Africa, who recently turned up at
Durham, has been lecturing on his travels
at Lisbon. In his address. which is trans
lated in the Standard, he testifies distinctly
to the existence of a white race in Central
Africa, living in the territory between
Cuchl and the Cubango." He himself
spoke to men OF his race, whom he de
scribes as "wh;ter than Caucasians," who
call themselves Cafsequers, and are not bad
people, though totally uncivilized. They
have tufts of hair on their heads like short
wool. They have eyes like the Chinese,
are powerful. and live a nomadic life. 1t
is of course possible that an albino family
should have multiplied. but 1t is more

cumstances 10 remain and, being separated

the descendants, il is supposed, of Romans
who fled to the mountain for protection
against the barbarians, and, as far as yet
known, climate has little influence on
color The Copts remain white and the
Tassmanians were quite black, though
they hal always lived in climate nearly
identical with that OF Brilain.
Major Serpa Pinto, the Portuguese
Stanley, is strong and muscular, although
of light limb and frame, and is of a genial
and happy disposition not easily overcome
by difficulties. The Portuguese colony in
Pernambuco have presented him with a
valuable gold medal, set with pearls and
brilliants and bearing a suitable ipscrip
tion. 1t is said while the journey of Cam
eron cost e6OO0 and that Of Stanley about
e9, 900, Serpa Pinto has spent less thar
Ct 600 all told. To the King he has offered
several skins of wild beasts, and he asked
her Majesty's acceptance of splendid

much enamored Of the latter, in fact, de-
sirous of winning him. The lady, how
ever, has flirting tendcLcies, and indulges
them with handsome party in the circle.
The escort is not unobservant of this little

you know that gentlemen with whom you
are fiirtings"
An embarrassed negative is the reply.
"Then excuse me moment"
The escort Immediately crosses the thea

conspirator, "Sir, are you acquainted with
the lady at whom you have been smiling
this last half hour."
"Nom
would you like to bep pleasantly.
Very much surprised, certainly"
''Then come with me-"
A moment later the escort introduces
the not altogether comfortable pair Then
the mild expression leaves the insulted
gentleman's face' and he says stcrnly:
"Now sir, you may accompany this lady
home" 81

woman who loves him never hears lis

STRENGTH OF CANDIDATES.

We have information from every
State in the Union gathered by more
.hln 10 correspondents, stationed at
from one to nineteen points in each
State. Each correspondent covered a
large field, including many important
centres of political thought and dis
cussion.
1t is safe to say that the thirty-twO
columns of reports which the Times
gives this morning reflects the pOpu-
lar sentiment at nearly 1909 different
localities. pretty evenly distributed
over the whole geographical extent Of
The country. The letters come from
intelligent men Of both political par
tis-s from lawyers, editors, and trained
newspaper reporters. from college pro-
fcss0rs, from politicians, state and
municipal officers. literary and bust
ness men-irom all classes AMI yOcI-
tions which give opportunity for
familiarity with the currents OF
thought and feeling.
In localities where the Republican
party WAS known To be divided on GER
tain issues, either personal or other
wise, "A correspondent from each sind
was chosen, 50 that there might be no
doubt rs TO the perfect impartiality of
the judgment. Our correspondents
do not give their individual views
simply, but the preferences expressed
by the people of their section.
The result points Enthusiastically to
the nomination of Gen. Grant by the
Republicans, and Of Mr.. Tilden by the
Democrats. The vast prepOnderance
of Republican sentiment in favor of
Gen. Grant leaves all other candidates
hOpelessly in the rear. Many Repub-
licamS who are personally opposed to
his nomination confess that his name is
almost the only one mentioned in their
vicinity. 1t Will be seen by the facts
and figures we present that were the
Republican National Convention TO be
held at once, Gen. Grant would receive
the vote of every State except Maine,
Nevada, and Oregon, and possibly Cal
ifornil. 1t Is clearly apparent, fIOm
the tone of the letters, that the move
meat in favor of Gen. Grant originates
with the MASSES, and not with the pol
iticians. Senator Blaine seems to have
seriously injured his standing among
the Republican masses by his aiyucl-
cy of the anti-Chincse bill.
1t may be stated generally that ont
of l5T points from which adYices have
bcen received. Gen. Grant is the ex-
pressed chOic6 OF l30, Senator Blaine
10, and that MeSsrS. WaSiburn, Gar
field, Sherman, COnkling. EdmundS,
and Chandler follow in the order
named. The Democrats in 9S of the
IJT districts prefer Tilden, Thurman
comes next with % districts, Bayard
with IL, and Hendricks and Hancock
bring up the rear. Tilden, if the
Democratic Convention were held to-

A Story OF Underwriters.

The Rev. Ii. NJ. Scudder, ID. d., who
was for many years missionary i'm
India, tells the following odd story
-Four men partners in business,
bought some cotton bales. That the rats
might not destroy the cotton they pur-
chased cat. They agreed that each
of the four should own n particular
leg Of the cat; and each adorned with
bgais and other ornaments the leg
thas 2ppOrtiOne,i to him The cat, by
accitient, injured one of its legs. The
owner OF That member wound u rag
soaked in oil. The cat going too near
the hearth set the rag on fire, and be-
ing ia great pain rushed in among the
cotton bales where she was ac-
custOmed to hunt rats. The
cotton took fire and was burned
Ep. 1t was 4 total loss. The three
other partners brought suit to recOv-
the value of the cotton, against the
partner who owned this particular leg
OF tho eat. The judge examined the
ease and decided thus: "The leg that
had the oiled rag on it was hurt; the
cat could not use that leg; in
fact, held up that leg, and ran
with the other three legs. The three
unhurt legs, therefore, carried the fire
to the cotton, and alone are culpable.
The injured leg is not to be blamed.
The three partners who owned the
three legs with which the cat ran to
the cotton will pay the whole value of
the bales to the partner who was the
proprietor OF the injured leg"

taste of baled hay. found j gate open
and entered yard OH Second street.
The woman came to the front dressed

tered a scream and went back. There
wasn't thing in the yard for the COW
10 damage or eat being tired she raised
her cud, lay down, and began to chew
away as if she had got home from long
visit TO Europe. The woman next ap-
peared at a side window and called
upon the COW to "get out 4 dog
might have got" but the COW didn't
Then the woman threw a rag at the
COW and called for the dog. The dog
didn't and the ragdidn't scare. Then the
woman shook pillow at the cow and
peremptOrily ordered her Off the prem
ises, but the bovine half closed her
eyes and let her thoughts run ahead to
fly time. As the cow wouldn't go, and
as the woman couldn't go till the cow
did, sterner measures were resort
ed to. 4 tin pan was held out Of the
window and beaten with a spoon, but
the cow couldn't be fooled into belieY-
ing that Fourth Of July had come.
Then the woman went into the back
yard to throw clubs over the fence and
knock couple of horns off. The first
one hit the window and the next one
banged the blinds on the next house,
and the cows horns stuck tighter than
ever. Cries Of git Outr were again
resorted to without effect. and then
the woman watched at the front door
till she saw boy come along and she
opened it and cried out. ''0hl boy
there's horrible cow in our yard,
Prop the gate open and get all the boys
and police you can and drive her out
and I'll give you a whole quarter of
