BILE, will receive the first care, which is
far from being the case now. Persons
with weak action of the heart should by
all means avoid the fatulent foods, as
well as any bulk of food that will press
upon the already hard laboring organ
For weak heart does much more work
then a strong one, trying to make up in
the frequency for the feebleness of its
beats. Among the dangerous foods for such
sufferers are asparagus, beans, sweet po
tat0es. hot cakes, where the butter is oiled
upon the cake, and all fresh bread or risen,
Should also avoid waxy dishes like stewed
kidney. All cabbages, onions and tur-
nips, in short, all vegetables that taste
afterwards are forbidden. They may eat

beets and spinach. pulped. Also corn
that is split up the grain and torn with
fork mot CUT from the cob. The milk es
sence of the corn apart from its horny
hull is highly digestible.. The soft part of
raw oysters digest themselves, at no tax
upon the strength. Homemade bread two
days old, apple sauce, rare roast beef and
we'll cooked roast lamb, birds, perfectly
cooked sweetbreads. oatmeal, milk toast
Jellled eggs for breakfast are all recon-
mended. Of course, none of these things
in vast quantity. If such iuva]lds would
learn to take very small bites they will
have mastered one secret of successful di-
gestion. The throat is so far in sympathy
with the stomach that both of them are
stunned, as it were, by the demand of
huge morsels for forcible entry, So many
cases of distress and fatality occur to such
patients after dinner, or even after
hearty breakfast, that the food prescrip-
tion, how and how little to eat, is impera-
tive. Something indigestible lies very
near most attacks that are not brought
on by violent exertions. In both cases
the heart has too much to do, or too little
room to it in.-Philadelphsa Ledger.

She Would EIupe.

A Western correspondent of Hdr.
perS Magazine sends the following:
| recently listened to a debate in
one OF the school lyceums of this
city upon the novel and momentous
question of "woman suffrage"
The debater upon the "anti.wo-
man" side was doubtless engaged
in his first effort, and this fact, to-
gether with a slight impediment of
speech and a most original series of
arguments, combined to produce
one Of the funniest and most unan-
swerable speeches that l had ever
heard. Here it is, almost in full.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first
thing to find out is w.w-what man
was m-made for, and what w.w-wo-
man was made for, God created
Adam first, and put him in the
Garden Of Eden. T-then He made
Eve, and p.put her there too. If
He hadn't c-c.created Eve, there
never would have been all the
s.s-sin there is now in this w.wOrld.
If He hadn't made Eve, she never
would have p-p.picked the apple
aud eaten it. N.n-no, she never
wonld have picked it and ggiven
1t to Adam to eat. Paul in his epis-
ties says w.w.woman should XXX

A SELF.MADE CONGRESSMAN.
How he Won the Vote of Blacks

smith.
In some remarks upOn the Cali.
fornia congressional delegation, G.
f.. X, of the Louisville Times, has
this to say of one Of them: J. A.
LOutitt, of the Second CalIfuruia
district, occupies just two lines in
the Congressional Directory. The
brief biography states that he is Of
Stockton, and was elected to the
Forty-ninth Congress as a Republi-
can receiving 1897 votes against
l8,2OS votes for Sumner, Democrat,
and 55S votes for Webster, Prohi.
bitionist. The reason that Mr.
LOutitt is cut so short in the
sketches of our sOlons Is a little
singular. The compiler of the di.
fectOry went to him for the points
of bis life. 81 can give it to You
very quick" replied Loutitt. "Born
in stable brought mp in a black
smith shop; educated in the COM
mon schools" The compiler looked
at him in amazement. Loutilt
quietly remarked "That is the size
of it." The compiler got the feat
uTes of his election to Congress and
published them as given above,
but would not put in what the Con-
gressman related of his former life.
Mr.. Loutitt explains by saying that
he was born in house in New Or
leans that had been formerly sta
BILE, and that be served his appren-
tlceship at the hammer and anvil.
He got a fair "English" education
at The common schools an studied
law. He has large practice in
and about Stockton. He has a
partner and three clerks. He is of
medium stature but powerfully
built. The muscles of his arms
stand out in great cords, and are as
firm as a club. He sits in his room
with his coat oh the coolest days.
He says he has never been cold
since he came to Washington
His complexion is ruddy, and a
cordial smile plays on his frank
face. He wears a heavy brown
mOustache, and smokes incessantly.
He gained a Democratic vote in a
peculiar way during his race for
Congress. There was a Democratic
blacksmith in the upper part of the
district who sneered at the idea of
the lawyer candidate for Congress
having "served at the trade" He
thought it was a political trick
When Loutitt got to the black
smiths town he walked down to
the shop and without saying who
he was, pulled off his coat, rolled
up his sleeves and went to work
with the big hammer. The black
smith had heard the candidate was
coming, but stood back and watched
the performance in astonishment.-
After Loutitt had gotten in some of
his "best licks," the blacksmith
walked over and felt of his power.
full arm. Fully satisfied, he walked
back to the forge, saying: "It's all
right; that gets my vote.'

THE WORD BOYCOTT.
From The Chicago Inter Ocean.

From The Chicago Inter Ocean.
The late labor troubles have as
YET. so far as known, created no
new word or odd phrase, but one
word OF comparatively recent manu-
taclurc has passed current every
where. l. has become as we'll
known and as much used here as
in Ireland, its native land. The
word is Boycott. The story of its :
creation is, briefly, as follows:
Some six years or so ago a man
named Captain Boycott was the
factor or agent Of landowner in
Ireland. By his course and policy
Boycott came to be very offensive
to the tenantry, and so greatly was
bedisliked that the tenants petition
ed the proprietor to remove him.
This, however, that person would
not do. The cOnsequen.e He. that
the tenants and their friends Ie-
fused to work for Boycott. or under
his instructions. The situation did
not at first seem TO be serious, but
when the crops were to be harvest
ed the people would not touch
them, and this feeling spread
among all their acquintances, so
that no one could be found who
wOuld assist or work in the harvest
that year. The crops were in great
danger, when some men from Ul-
ster, under the protection of troops,
did the work for Boycott. But it
did not end there. The tenants
had formed a strong fraternity
among themselves, and before the
contest had progressed a great way
further their powerful league was
shown. An idea may be gained of
the thoroughness and extent Of
their organization by these instan-
ces 1t was agreed that if any one
had any dealings with Boycott or
those who represented him, then no
one was to have any dealings with
that person or if a man worked
for Boycott his old friends and
neigbbors refused to recognize,
speak to, or have anything to do
with him; no one would bay of him
or sell to him, and he was to be
looked upon and treated as total
stranger. To "Boyoott" any one,
therefore, came to mean a great
deal, and the word became popular
among the Irish, and then gener-
ally so, and now it is a part of our
language.

For the honor of the medical

opinion that many Of our people

and attention.
The pleurisy was the only disease
which was, in any considerable de
gree, understood by our people. a
pain in the side called for the use
of the lancet, if there was any to
be had; but owing TO its sparing
use, the patient was apt to be left
with splitting of blood, which
sometimes ended in consumption.
A great number Of children died of
the Group. Remittent and inter
mittent fevers were treated with
warm drinks for the purpose OF
sweating, and the patients were
denied the use of cold water and
fresh air; consequently many of
them died. OF those who escaped,
not few died afterwards of the
dropsy or consumption, or were
left with paralytic limbs. Deaths
in childbed were not unfrequent.
Many, no doubt, died of the bite of
serpents, in consequence Of an i'm

My father died OF an hepatic
complaint, at the age Of about

it for thirteen years. The fever
which accompanied it was called
"tbe dumb ague," and the swelling
in the region of the liver, "the
ague cake" The abscess burst,

Var on Mother huhhards.

BURLINGTON, y. j., April "a.
This town is all agog on the ques-
ton Of "Mother Hubbard" cos
tunes. The fuss was started by
something that happened on Fri
day evening last. Miss Ella Ham,
mel, well-known belle, appeared
at Broad and High streets in a
Mother Hubbard dress. AS she
walked down High street she heard
a shout and saw a dozen men
behind her. She hastened on, but
mob filed High street, uttering
insulting epithets. Some missiles
were thrown, and, almost beside
herself with terror, VI - Hammel
hurried into a drugstore. Capt.
Hays, the chief of police, was sent
for aud escorted Miss Hammel to
her home.
The crowd yelled awhile outside
the Hammel mansion, but was
finally dispersed by the police. IL
is understood that Col. John Ham
mel will take legal proceedings
against the men who started the
hue and cry after his daughter, and
the arrest of those most prominent
in the affair is expected tomorrow.
Yesterday morning Mayor Col
path forbade the wearing Of
"Mother Hubbards" on the streets
Of Burlington except under certain
restrictions. Young ladies will
hereafter be allowed to wear them,
as loosely as they please, while
seated on the steps of their own
residences, or Oh their own grounds.
They will also be allowed to wear
them under the sanction of the law
in the streets If the dresses are
belted, but not otherwise, If tho
girls are alone. If they have
escorts they can were "Mother
Hubbards" as much in the flowing,
bOudoir fashion, as they choose, in
any part of the town, both in the
day and the evening. These regula-
tionS, it is explained, are simply
for the sake Of protecting the girls
of Burlington from the wrath OF
the populace, and are not intended
as rejecting upon tho
dress itself. Miss Hammel, who
was very much excited by her mar
row escape from the crowds wrath,
is lying quite i'll with nervous
prostration.

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
BY FATHER RYAN.


Furl that Banner, for tits weary
Round its staff is dropping dreary
Furl it, fold il, it is best
For there's not a man TO wave IL,
And there's not a sword TO save it,
And there's not one left TO lave IL,
In the blood which heroes gave it;
And it's foes now scorn and brave IL;
Furl it, hide it--let it rest.
Take that Banner down, It's tattercd
Broken is its staff and shattered
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
over whom it foated high.
Oh lis bard for us to fold it
Hard to think there's none to hold it;
Hard that these, who once unrolled it,
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Furl that Banner-furl it sadly
Once ten thousands hailed IL gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave;
Swore that foeman's sword should never
Hearts like theirs entwined discover,
Till that flag should float forever
O'er their freedom, or their grave!
Furl it for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that Banner it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their wee.
For though conquered, they adore it
Love the cold dead hands that bore it.
Weep for those who fell before it
Pardon those who trailed and tore 1t
But, Oh wildly they deplore it,
Now who furl and fold 50.
Furl that Banner True, tits CORY.
Yet Ills wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall 90 sounding down the ages,
Furl its folds though now we must
Furl that Banner, softly, slowly,
Treat it gently--it is holy
For it droops above the dead.
Touch II not-unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever,
For It's peoples hopes are dead
