Speaking of sudden deaths as the
result of mental anxiety or excite
ment, the Medical NeaUs says: "There
is no treatment which will prevent this
class of sudden deaths, and physicians
are powerless to avert its onset. All
they can do is to advise calm, unex-
citing mode of life, with freedom from
worry and anxiety. Such advice is
very easy to give, but as difficult to
follow as would be suggestion that
it is not advisable to die at any given
time"

ing the boycott, and this is one of the con
 clusions it has reached: By the force of their
 own decrees the Knights will soon be prohib-
 tied from buying of, or selling to, any one
 outside of their own order, all the rest of the
 people having been included in the success i've extensions of the boycott from one offend CT to another. But they will be able to drive 8 fourishing trade among themselves. The boycotted people will keep on selling to each other, just as they do now, since persistence in their disregard of the Knights commands can work them no further injury, and the boyeotters will set up in vaIious lines of bus iness on their own account, for the reason that they can trade with no one else. At first they will be subjected to certain annoy ances incident to the establishment of an in- dependent and exclusive mercantile commu- nifty. In the line of patented articles they are likely to find some difficulty. The boy cotting of manufacturer of porous plasters in New Jersey has already deprived the Knights of the right to sooth their pains with that alleviatiRe- application, and the boycott ting of certain sewing machine factories will make necessary additional needle work on the part of ths Ladies of Labor. It is pos sible that remedy may be found in the boy cotting of the patent office; but while this must naturally follow in the course of time, it offers no immediate relief.

Invited to Prove His Prayer.


 Old Governor McCreery was not religious man and did not have much respect for reli- zion. He preferred 8 horse race to a church and mint julep to hyhln book. One morning MT. Sutherland, who was the chap lain of the Senate, had some distinguished divine as 8 guest and invited him to officiate in his place on that day. The stranger, not having ever enjoyed the honor before, thought he would make the most of the case and delivered a very fervent prayer, which was intended for the spiritual benefit ot the Senators. There was more truth than com pliment in his utterances, and at the conclu- sion of his prayer Senator McCreery sent to ! the clerks desk resolution.
 MT. Mcdonald, who was then chief clerk of the Senate, took the resolution, read it I over, colored up to his ears and, turning around, held a whispered conversation with I Mr. Ferry who was in the chair. MT. Ferry declared at once that the reso- lution of the Senator from Kentucky was not | in order. MT. McCreery demanded that it ! should be read, and there was little breeze ! in which the char conquered, as he usually does on such occasions
 Several Senators rushed up to the desk to | see what the paper was about, and it was af- terward passed around quite freely. It was ! series of whereases, which set forth that | the gentleman who had just occupied the floor did not address his remarks to the pres | ident of the Senate, as required by the rules, ! but to being not recognized by the consti- | tuition of the United States and entirely un- | known to that body:
 | Whereas, In the remarks of the gentleman ! he asserted that the Senate of the United States was composed of men who were weak ! and sinful and wanting in Christian grace; I and
 ! Whereas, If these remarks were true, the persons so described were unfit to represent ! the several States or to frame laws for the people; therefore be it
 Resolved, That the Committee on Privi- leges and Elections be instructed to summon ! before them at once the person who had of 1 fered the prayer, and compel him to prove ! the truth of his assertions or retract them.

THE EIG GHT.HOUR MOVEMENT.
 MT. Edward Atkinson has given considera- ble careful and we'll directed thought to economic question s, and it is his opinion that "the hours of labor during which men and women must work in order to obtain subsistence are controlled by conditions which wholly beyond the reach of stat utes." There is much talk about making eight hours days work. Such law would limit certain large class of working people and & certain small class of capitalists in the use of their time. MT. Atkinson calls this class legislation, affecting only about one hundred persons in each thousand of all who are engaged in all gainful occupations. The law, he admits, may establish legal measure of what number of hours shall con- stitute days work when no specific number is named, but beyond that it is powerless. It cannot compel the carpenter to lay down his hammer, the cook to put out the fire, the blast furnace man to let the charge of iron cool of the washerwonan to cease scrubbing, the editor to drop his pen, or the printer to cease setting type, or the farmer to stop driving the blow. Therefore, he says, in just the measure that the smaller number are restricted in the use of their time, their tools or their capital, must the large mum. Der work longer in order to attain their pres ent standard of comfort and welfare. The law may limit the hours of work which may be applied in particular way, but it cannot limit the aggregate of work without limiting the product. It can promote scarcity, but not abundance by means of obstruction.
 MT. Atkinson further thinks that if the advocates of an eight-hour law should be successful the first efforts of the same men who had promoted it would be to find out how to work over time to the best advantage in order to gain better subsistence. He de clares that, with our present capital, skill and intelligence, ten hours or more of gain ful work absolutely required in each working day in order to meet the present standard of necessity or of common comfort. This state of things will not remain, how ever. Looking 8 generation forward, the statistician predicts that ''in 1920 Uncle Sam will be able to save as much time and effort in the work of gaining subsistence as he has saved since 1850, 1860 or 1865." Then the workingman can shorten his own hours of labor, as we'll as those of the women who do the household work.

Practising Law by Ear.


 Among the friends of Grover Cleveland when he was practising law in this city was another attorney, but one of rather different stamp than the man of destiny. The friend was bright fellow, but with the bump of laziness abnormally developed. He was not a well-read lawyer, and whenever it was necessary for him to use decision bearing on any point it was his habit to lounge into Cleveland's office and casually worm the de- sired information out of his friends mental storehouse. Grover was not so dull not to appreciate the fact and to resent the sponging-not so much because the process was worthy of that name as because he wished to spur his friend on to more ensr getic work
 One day the friend came in on his usual errand, and when Cleveland had heard the FrasiFainaEies usual to the pumping process the latter told his questioner that he had given him all the information on law mat ters that he was going to.
 F'There are my books," said Cleveland, land you're welcome to use them. You can read up your own cases"
 ''See here, Grover Cleveland" said the friend, ''I want you to understand that I don't read law. I practice entirely by ear and your books can go to thunder"
