Why does the heart sometimes become

largsd heart weighed nearly three pounds
and 10 another over four pounds the com

What is the cause OF the hearts undue

Some obstacle DO tbs circulation. which

What are the causes Of the obstruc-

The following are the most common.
L. Disease may have narrowed some
one or more Of the hesrt-valves. so that
the heart has to force the blood through q
smaller opening-in extreme cases not lar

DREAMS,

/ dream Of days now long forever fed
A time when life was earnest real and
true
Before the hope of happiness was dead;
Before life's sorrows filled my heart anew
With fleeting fancies-wishes never gained
Though oft they seemed close tony eager
grasp;
Ambition lured to heights ne'er attained,
To friends whose hands always failed to
clasp.
often dream of days that now are here;
OF hopes that urge me on my toilsome way
OF stars that shine. my wayward course to
cheer,
Up to the realms Of longed-for famed day.
The more strive the farther Off it seems
This goal for, which vainly dream and
hope
The sun obscured--to me it hides its beams
While 1 in doubt my rayless pathway
grope.
Then have dreams of life not yet begun,
Hidden away in years-long years-to be,
On wheels of life--where golden threads are
spun;
When toll is done--the weary spirit free.
This dream is one fain would realize;
To prove that life is not quite all in vain,
But if it reaches far beyond the skies
Before death comes--oh, let me dream
again.

than Macmillan, the only imported En-

THE EmbIematIc Horse. Shoe.

And now it is authoritatiVely stated
that the horse shoe is not the emblem OF
good luck it has so long been supposed.
On the contrary, it brings the reverse Of
luck to people who treasure it. The
superstitious will please take notice, and
cease TO pick up this offending piece Of
iron wherever and whenever they chance
to sec it, as has long been their custom.
One of the greatest scamps on record. q
person who would have sold his mothers
false teeth If the eft took him., once
said nothing on earth or in heaven would
prevent him stopping to pick up a horse
shoe, for, If he knew his fortune was at
stake should he miss certain train. he
would rather lose both than pass this
emblem by It is melancholy to acknow-
ledge he was Away a lucky fellow till
he died, and then, who can tell whether
he was or not9 At all events he left a
large collection of horse-shoes Of all sizes
and conditions to mourn his loss, and
henceforth exercise their thaumatuTgical
power in some neighboring junk-shop.

A Spanish shepherd killed by light
ming recently was made the subject of a
scientific post mortem to discover how
the electric bolt had done its fatal work.
His eyebrows and eyelashes were burned
oil, his eyeballs were dried up, all his
left side was scorched and burned in
spots down to the ankle, while the right
side Of the body and right leg were unin-
jured. Serious as these injuries were
none Of them appeared sufficient to have
caused his instant death. But as soon
as the breast was opened the cause Of
death was apparent. The lungs were
frightfully congested and the heart was
enormously dilated and filed with
coagulated blood. With all this damage
to the man his clothing was very little
injured, the only traces of the lightning
upon it being a small hole bored through
the rim of the hat and slight singeing
of the shirt collar.

James Tucker (colored) of sandystone,
Sussex County, has the distinction of
being the most extensive producer of
eggs in New Jersey. His poultry yards
contain 800 hens Of the white Leghorn
breed, and from these he obtains thirty
dozen eggs day. Mr.. Tucker has been
so successful in poultry raising that his
methods are being widely adopted, and
he is quoted as authority on questions
relating to the business.

A tea ship that recently arrived at
Portland, Oregon, had on board very
peculiar bird, called tho Japanese tum-
bier 1t has habit Of jumping from its
perch, turning somersault, and com
ing down on the perch all standing, and
this trick it will perform dozens Of
times in succession, till beholders deem
che bird demented. 1t is considerably
larger than a canary, and Of rather pret
ty plumage, but not much in the musi-
cal line.
