Over ExePtiOn.

In the London Lancet is reported the
case of healthy boy belonging to a
robust, healthy family, who had never
suffered from rheumatism, scarlet fever,
or indeed from any disease save chicken
pox, who died sud denly under the sad
dest circumstances, because his death
was so thoroughly preyentabe. After
coming from school one day, he ate a
hearty dinner and Immediately began to
play cricket. Finding the time draw
ing near for the afternoon session,
he ran to school "a quarter of a
mile), and as he entered the yard
fell unconscious to the ground In a
very few minutes he was dead notwith.
standing the persistent practice of arti-
fetal respiration. The lieIical and SUr-
gjcal Reporter states the results OF the
post-mortem examination, and adds:
Here clearly was death due TO exer-
else, the loaded stomach and bowels
being the needed exciting causes We
have ere this sounded the warning
against violent exercise; iron muscles
generally indicate an bypertrophied
heart; the athlete is not destined to be-
come the long lived respectable. and
useful citizen; the slugger is all right in
his place, and is n popular beast, but he
is doomed to an early dissolution. 1t
may be accepted as a general truism that
any kind or amount of exercise that
will cause the heart to jump and thump
against the chest wall is exercise carried
to an excessive and alarming extent

The "ThompsOniano Cancer Cure.

DR.. Samuel Thompson, the founder of
the Thompsonian school, grandfather of
the modern eclectic, botanic, and physio-
medical schools, describes in his book a
method of treatment which may have
sonssAing in it. 1t is to make an extract
in ths following way: Fill brass ket-
tie keeping full of the blossoms of the
red 7seNer, add little water place over
a fl a. JHd Sza Il boil for some time; re-
mo y 'he heads Of the clover by strain
ing and evaporate the liquid carefully
to g. lid Crezac'. With this material he
directs plaster TO be made, which acts
as 5. t%ustic to the growth to which it is
applied; the patient to drink freely of a
tea made from the red clover blossoms.
lie claims to have cured many cases of
cancer in this way No recent menticn
of this cancer cure appears to have been
made 1t certainly should be tested
again, now that the difference between
tumors are more readily made out than
forty or fifty years ago, when Thompson
tlourished. --~st, Louis Gio5e-Democrat.

No Waist TO Her Dress.

A young woman whose father VIII

Senator Millers house the other night,
says Washington correspondent, which
produced a sensation even among the
most hardened sinners. 81 take It that
it was intended to copy the style IN
vogue during the 'Di,eofoiye.' AT any
rate it is described as a skirt with a
belt and shoulder straps, the absence
OF waist being supplied by proiuSion
Of jewels. The young woman was
known to many before renewing her
mask. She disappeared soon after sup
per, and when asked for it was said,
oh, she has gone home to dress lief
fersonian simplicity and a return to the
manners and customs OF our forefathers,
is probably what many will exelaim. "
