Sudden Deaths.

The cases of heart disease are lar less
common than is generally supposed
the heart being one of the toughest or
gans in the body. Still there are many
cases, and they are of different kinds.
There may be paralysis of the nerve of
the heart. When this occurs, death is
instantaneous. Angina pectoris not un-
frequently terminates in this way, for
.excruciating pains exhaust nervous
force as greatly as does excessive pleas
iure.
There may be what is called fatty
sdegeneracy of the heart in which fat
takes the place of the 9brous tissue. and
sooner or later gives way under some
slight excitement.
Sometimes the walls of the heart be-
come quite thin at some point, and this,
in connection with the general enlarge
ment of the organ, renders it subject to
more violent acting, and it may sud-
denly burst on the quickening Of that
action. Such enlargements are often
by violent and protracted exertions, as in
boat-racing. -.
Or there may be dilatation of a por.
ton of an artery leading out from the
heart; such dilalations are called Gneur.
isnas, and are attended with loss of the
elasticity of the heart and thinning OF
| the walls of the vessel. Hence it may
suddenly rupture, or, which is equally
! fatal, the walls may dilate SO far as tC
prevent the outflow Of the blood TO the
| brain. .s
| Every one even in health knows how
quick and strongly any emotion what
ever acts upon. the heart-knows from
his own experience. In all diseases o
the heart absolute self-control, at al
times, is oe the most urgent necessity
Without it life may cease at any mo
| ment.

Want of Courage. Z

A great deal of talent is; lost to the
world for the want of courage. Every
day sends to the grave asnumber of OBJ
scure men, who have 1only remained in
obscurity because their timidity has
prevented their first effort, and who. if
they could have been induced to begin,
would, in all probability, have gone
great lengths in the career of fame. The
fact is, in order to do anything in this
world that is worth doing weamust not
stand shivering on the brink, and think
of the cold and danger, but jump in and
scramble as we can. 1t will not do to
be perpetually calculating risks and ad-
Justing nice chances 1t did very well
before the food when a man coull con-
suit his friends upon a publication for
one hundred ahdsafty years, and then
live to see its success for~six or seven
centuries afterward, but at present a
man waits, and doubts and hesitates,
and consults his brother, and his uncle
and his particular friends, till one day,
he finds that he is sixty years of age;
that he has lost SO much time in con-
sulting first cousins and particular
friends that he has no time left to follow
their advice. There is no time for over
squeamishness at present. the opportu.
nifty so easily slips away, the very
period of his life at which, man chooses
to venture, if ever, is so confined, thai
it is no bad rule to preach up the neces
sity, in such instances, of little VIC
lence to feelings, and to efforts made iI
defiance to strict and sober calculation

An Injurious Practice.
Rural New Yorker.

The practice of eating snows and ice,
so common among the school-children
of the Northern States, is fruitful
cause of catarrh. 1t is common to see
boys and girls devour a snow ball as
though it were an apple, or an icicle as
eagerly as a bit of candy. The hard
palate which forms the roof of the
mouth also forms the floor of the nos
trils, and is no thicker than pasteboard.
The chilling effect of snow. ..and ice
brought freely in contact with this thin
partition, the upper covering oflwhich
is sensitive secreting membrane, made
up almost wholly of fine blood vessels
and nerves, produces congestion. often
succeeded by chronic Inflammation. As
consequence, these snow and ieeveat-
ing boys and girls almost alwayst have
colds in the head and running noses.
This is the foundation and origin Of one
of the most disagreeable, persistent and
incurable affections to which the people
of the North are subject-nasal catirrh.
Catarrh is said to lead to consumption.
Whether this is so or not, the Chilling
of the nasal membranes, part of whose
function it is to warm the aix in its pas.
sage to the lungs, cannot but injure
those organs, particularly in people of 9
delicate constitution.

A Modern Novel.


The Lady Alice sat in her boudoir, en-
robed in a bright brocade of jardiniere
pattern, She was waiting for the ap-
pearance of her lover, Augustus Fitz-
noodle. The bell rings. Lady Alice
starts from her chair, presses her hand
to her heart, and murmurs: +" lis he.
He comes he comes" She would have
said good deal more if her false teeth
hadn't dropped downward and compelled
her to shut her mouth.
The servant enters. He makes bow,
and says: ga gentleman awaits your
pleasure"
Lady Alice, having stuck the teeth to
Her upper jaw with her brother Jim's
,st cud of chewing gum, replies: "Let
him enter" ~ r.t
The door flies open and tall form ap-
pears. 1t rushes forward. Lady Alice
shuddefs and gasps, "ris not Angus

The form bows low and the lips
speak: "Fair lady, the fame Of your
beauty resounds throughout the land,
and ! have travelled many miles and
from distant countries to gaze upon your

Augustus appears and saves the Lady

is willing to give herself to Augustus
but Augustus sarcastically replies tha

A WOnder3


In most of the papers may be seen an an
aouncement of new rubber boot, made by
the Candee Rubber Co., of New Haven, VI.
This notable boot marks q new era In the
manufacture of rubber goods: The boot is
called the "95 Per Cent. Sterling" to denote
its high quality, and is covered by no less
than seven patents, all owned by the Candee
Co.. One of the boots split to show its exact
character, is on exhibition at the stores, and
shows an article of genuine service, that is
seemingly indestructable. The company war
rants these boots three months, although
there is abundant testimony that the boots
will stand six months hard wear every day.
The 1.Candee" is the largest rubber goods
company in the world, and its warrant is
equal to bond. One of the patents referred
to covers binding for the top of the leg, in
which are engraved spaces for every day and
month in the year, so that the storekeeper
can punch out the date of sale, and so nix be-
yond dispute the duration of the three month
warrant. Altogether, it is the most wonder
full boot that has yet appeared.

burst into tears at the announcement,

to secure a rich revenue without requir
