HEART DISEASE.

The origin of this disease is frequently
to be found in hereditary predisposition
but in manykases it is directly traceable to
causes which are easily removable and pre-
ventable In round numbers about 10000
deaths are annually caused by heart dis
ease i'm England alone. The etiology and
geographical distribution of this most ag-
onizing disease have been carefully inves-
tigsued by Mr.. Haviland. DIR. Black and
others. and the valuable knowledge ac-
uuired as TO its nature within the last ten
wears should have led long ago to a
marked decrease of the disease, had that
knowledge been utilized in fairly intel
ligent manner.
1t is certain that impure air exercises a
most baneful influence upon the heart, and
that confinement in badly ventilated
houses, cellar dwellings, schools, work
shops and factories. is cause of great
portion of the heart disease unhappily so
prevalent i'm this country. The impure at
mosphere of crowded dwellings seems to
have a similar deleterious action on the
chief organ OF circulation to that which it
exercises on the respiratory apparatus, and
thus we find identical conditions favoring the
development of both diseases in one and
the same locality. The thorough and eff
fective ventilation of our rooms and houses,
our courts and alleys, which proves pre-
ventive in the latter disease. will assured
ly hinder prevalence of the former
In some cases disease of the heart is pro-
duced by violent and continued exertions,
such as that of lifting heavy weights and
violent rowing; but the demon drink is a
far more frequent producer of cardiac mis-
chief than overwork. and by its indirect
effects ON the muscular structure of the
heart, it predisposes, especially in adj
vanced life, to fatty degeneration of the
organ itself, and of its great blood-vessels.
The law which shall effeetually control the
liquor traffic may be reasonably expected
to. diminish the mortality under this head

New COLLEGE AT ORANGE
Only a few weeks ago the citizens
of Orange, Texas, met at the Court
House. to consider the eSpediency
of establishing college at Orange.
A j0int,st0ck company was prompt
~ formed and incorporated with a
capital stock of shares at S5
per share, a large amount of which
was subscribed for 10n the spot.
There was a brief delay in the en-
terprise, in the matter of the l0ca-
ton of the college building and
grounds, but last week five acres of
ground were purchased for that
purpose, the contract for building
the college was awarded to u. "A.
Robinson, and it is expected the
college will be ready for students
next fall.
Our Orange neighbors are GER
tainly an enterprising people, and
we are glad to see them going
ahead i'll the right direction.
