Dangers of Running Upstairs.

A New York physician thinks there is
connection between hastily ascending stairs
and heart disease. He says: "The great
est care is necessary in this matter for
people with any heart trouble, either latent
or developed There certainly are among
our business and professional men many
afflicted with some form of heart trouble
which has often been induced by severe
attacks of rheumatism or kidney disease.
I have not known case of heart disease
which was attributable alone to ascending
stairs. Of course, the first effect of run
ming or rapidly ascending is shortness of
breath. That means that the legs and
arms are moving quickly, while the motion
of the heart, not having caught up, is slow
er. So a load of blood from the limbs is
suddenly thrown upon the heart before it
begins to move rapidly enough to dispose
of it. This undue burden suddenly put on
the heart, and the temporary congestion IN
the lungs, cause imperfect action on their
part, and we experience what is known as
shortness of breath This is what every one
has felt after running up stairs, or running
to catch train. But if the heart is per-
fectly sound, this exertion will not cause
disease. But persons with weak hearts
should go very carefully"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-03-03

the electricity and which send the current
through the coils of the electromagnetic are
concealed in a drawer fitting into the base
of the clock, and are stated to contain suf-
ficient carbon to last for two years, during
which time the clock will require no at
tention and will not stop. While inyen-
ton is busy, what comfort it would be If
we should discover that "noiseless" clocks
and automatic watches were as possible as
noiseless sewing machines ? Among other
novelties in the line of clocks we hear of
the calendar clock, which keeps the correct
date always in view, regularly producing a
new one as it passes the old card out of
view, and in connection with it, new case
for a clock, which, in obedience to the
popular call for metamorphoses, ceases to
be case and becomes stand for the clock
at the earliest possible notice, With this
we have little sympathy, but we confess to
an immense admiration for some of the
latest fashions in the stands of clocks. In
one, two female figures in gilt uphold high
above their heads bronze globe, which
forms the clock, while upon it, perched as
lightly as fairy, laughing Cupid points
with dimpled figure to the hour. So much
depends upon the case of clock to-day
that individual taste alone can select &
fitting one.

Rights in the Road.

The following statement as to rights in
the road, promulgated by Judge Bennett,
may at some time be of use to the readers
of the AdCocate. Some of them are at
variance with prevailing opinions
If a farm deed is bounded by, or upon
road, it usually extends to the middle of
the roadway The farmer owns the soil
of half the road, and may use the grass,
trees, stones, gravel, sand or anything of
value to him, either on the land or beneath
the surface, subject only to the superior
rights of the public to travel over the
road, and that of the highway surveyor to
use such material for repairs of the road
and these materials may be carted away
and used elsewhere on the road. No other
man has right to feed his cattle there,
or cut the grass or trees, much less deposit
his wood, old carts, wagons or other things
there
The owner of drove of cattle that stops
to feed in front of your land, or drove of
pigs which root up the soil, is responsible
to you at law, as much as if they did the
same thing inside the fence.
Nobody's children have right to pick
up the apples under your trees, although
the same stand wholly outside of your
fence.
No private person has right to cut or
lop off the limbs of your trees in order to
move his old barn or other buildings along
the highway, and no traveller to hitch his
horse to your tree on the sidewalk without
being liable; if he gnaws the bark or other
wise Injuries them.
If your wall stands partly on your land
and partly outside of the fence, no neigh
Dor can use it without permission. Nay
more no man has a right to stand in
front of your land and insult you with
abusive language without being liable to
you for trespass on your land. He has
right to pass and re-pass in an orderly and
becoming manner; right to use the road
but not abuse it.
But notwithstanding the farmer owns
the soil of the road, even he cannot use it
for any purpose which interferes with the
use of it by the public for travel. He can
not put his pig-pen, wagon, cart, wood or
other things there, if the highway survey
or orders them away as obstructing public
travel. If he leaves such things outside
his fence, and within the limits of the
highway as actually laid out, though some
distance from the travelled path, and
traveller runs into them at night and is in
iured, the owner is not only liable to him
for private damage, but may also be in
dicted and fined for obstructing a public
highway. But if he has fence or wall
along the highway, he must place it on his
land. and not half on the road as in case
of division between neighbors. But as he
owns the soil, if the road is discontinued
or located elsewhere, the land reverts to
him, and he may enclose it to the centre,
and use it as part of his farm.

sacrifice for it, if need be, die for it. AT
length they establish it and hand it down
as proud inheritance to their successors.
They in turn possess it, but, unlike their
fathers, they are not possessed by it; it is
accepted and boasted of, but it is no
longer an inspiration, a vital spark,
Illuminating their powers and develop
ing their energies. We venerate the
names and recount the deeds of great
men, and suppose that because we hold
the views for which they have struggled
OF the principles for which they have
fought, we are, therefore, on level with
them, when in truth we have no portion
of the spirit or the fervor which enabled
them to struggle or to fight. 1t is a ia
vorite saying, that when we stand upon the
shoulders of a past generation, and so we
do in material advantages, in intellectual
advancement, in correct opinions-in a
thousand things to which they have helped
to lift us-but, unless we infuse into our
higher civilization and our truer knowledge
an equally vital force and earnestness-
unless we exercise the same will power and
put forth the same personal exertion, We
can never be worthy of their name, much
less have cause to exalt ourselves above
them. 1t does not signify so much where
abouts we are upon the ladder of life, but
whether we are steadily and resolutely
climbing; not so much 'ohat we inherit, as
whether we are worthy of our inheritance.

Scientific Lecture.
Reported for the Democratic Advocate

The third scientific lecture was delivered
on February Is, at Western Md. College, by
Prof. Zimmerman. After the physical
condition of matter was explained, the
theory of chemical change was discussed;
hydrogen and oxygen were considered as
primary agents, since they have not been
analyzed. The material property of air
was demonstrated by experiments showing
its impenetrability, and its pressure. One
experiment showing the air pressure was so
simple that any one may perform it salts
factorily-a lighted match was inserted in
a glass vessel, and the hand placed firmly
over the opening so as to prevent the air
from entering, for the air inside had become
rarifed by the action of the match; then,
when the hand was raised, the glass ad-
hered tc it, clearly showing that the air
exerts pressure. The principle of the water
pump was described by an experiment
showing that the lifting-force must be at
tributed to the pressure of the air upon
the surface of the water The weight OF
the atmosphere was determined by ascer-
tanning how high column Of murcery it
would support; the height Of the column
was about 80 inches and the weight Of the
atmosphere about Is pounds to every square
inch Experiments were introduced show
ing the expansive force of air, the prlncl-
pie of the air pump, of the "Bacchus Cups,
of the "Fountain in Vacuo," and of the
bursting-square showing the outward ex-
pansive air-force. The condensing-pump,
and chamber were next explained, and suit
able experiments made with them. The
principle of the force-pump, which is that
of the fire engine, was next in order taken
up, and the last experiment was that OF the
"Fire-syringe" showing the latent heat in
air, by forcing its particles so close together
as to burn tinder without the aid of artiti-
cial heat

A little thoughtful attention, how happy
it makes the old. They have outlived
most of the friends of their early youth.
How lonely their hours! Often their part
ners in life have long filled silent graves;
often their children they have followed to
the tomb. They stand solitary, bending on
their staff, waiting till the same call shall
reach them. How often must they think
of the absent lamented faces; of the love
which cherished them, and the tears of
sympathy which fell with theirs; now all
gone. Should not the young cling around
them, cheering their gloom with songs and
happy smiles?
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-03-03

''My life is at your excellency's mercy,
bowed the man with a show of humility.
Remember the signal When raise my
hand above my head, may the blow be
swift, sure, and Deadly
He then gave his whole attention to the
business before him. Putting an instru-
ment, not unlike fageolet, to his lips, he
began to play a shrill, monotonous, disa-
greeable sort of tune, keeping his eyes
riveted upon the hole in the ground; and
soon after, to my utter astonlshment,
though | had been prepared for anything,
1 saw the ugly head of the hooded snake,
the dread cobra capella, the most poisonous
of all deadly reptiles, come slowly forth,
with its spectacled eyes fixed steadily upon
the strange musician, who began to retreat
backward slowly, step at time, the
snake following him.
When at length, in this manner, he had
drawn the hideous creature some ten OF
fifteen feet from its hole, he suddenly
squatted down and began to play more
loudly and shrilly. At this the serpent
raised itself on its tail, as when about to
make his deadly spring, and actually COM
menced dancing motion, in time with the
music when the charmer gave me the
signal to strike. Guardedly and stealthily
[ advanced near enough for the blow, and
then struck, cutting the reptile in two, and
sending its head flying to some distance
never took life with better satisfaction
Whatever deception there might be
about the juggler's tricks, there was Ger
tainly none about the snake, for L have Its
skin still in my possession. l gave the
man a couple of gold mohurs, and he went
away perfectly satisfied, wishing my ex-
cellency any quantity of good luck, was
perfectly satisfied, too, and would not have
missed seeing what did that day for ten
times the amount paid.

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS
otherwise excellent newspaper correspon-
dents do not seem to appreciate the impor-
tance of reporting their news while it is
still fresh. News, unless Immediately re-
ported, is likely to prove anything else but
news. To hold back an important occur
renee or item until more is secured Is not
only most common custom but very
great mistake. The item is almost sure to
make its appearance in some other paper
sooner, and when the correspondents letter
arrives the items are stale. Every news
paper correspondent should continually
bear this in mind. An important item
promptly reported doubles its value, while
one unduly delayed is likely to lose what
value it originally had
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-03-03

A DUTY.-It is the duty of every good
citizen to contribute as literally as their
means will allow to the support of the
Church of their choice, and yet there are
those who endeavor to pay as little as pos
sible to said purpose, and when they die
will even sponge on the Church yard for
space for their stingy bones. 1t takes
money to pay ministers, and it requires
funds to liquidate the incidental expenses of
the Church; but if each and every one
would do their duty, the necessity of re-
sorting to festivals to raise money for
Church purposes would be avoided.
