ATTITUDES AND HEART DISEASE.

The Risk Which Some People Run-Dan-
gers of the Higher Levels.
The Medical Journal has just reported
paper read before the American Climat-
illogical association, by DR.. A. L.
Loomis, of this city, which may be of
vital Importance to many people propos-
ing to visit mountain resorts the coming
summer. DR.. LOOMS datails four cases
in which heart disease was brought on
by change from lower to higher
altitude. Two of these cases were per-
sons going to st. Regis lake, in the Adj
rondacks, at an elevation of only 1900
feet. One was that of visitor to the
Catskill mountains, and the fourth had
gone to Colorado. Though relief was
afforded them by return to lower lev
els, they all died within four or five
weeks.
AS the result of his experience in
twenty-six cases, DR.. Loomis concludes
that "the risks which one with even
slight cardiac insuficiency runs by pass
ing from lower to higher altitude is
certainly very great; and, if the insuffi-
cheney be extensive, such change be-
comes Immediately dangerous. This
conclusion, strongly supported as it is by
DR.. Loomis' data, is especially important
when it is remembered that cardaic in
sufficiency may exist in those who give
no evidence of it while at, or moder-
ately near, the sea level.

THE GOVERNMENT DIXIE ABOVE MARIETTA.
Just above Marietta we passed the long
sweeping wall of the government dixie, which
has been built by the department of naviga-
ton of rivers and harbors to deepen one side
of the river If it were not for this the Ohio
would be practically closed at this point for
even flat bottoned boats.
The river is full of salmon, pike and bass,
and the long stone wall was crowded with
fishermen. Many of these were amateur
anglers from the eastern states.
Maysville, with its great tobacco ware
houses and great hills, was the next town
passed on the Kentucky shore, and just above
it we stopped long enough to get glimpse at
all that remains of the once famous city of
Augusta, which before the war was the
wealthiest place in the state of Kentucky
1t was the summer resort for the aristocracy
of Kentucky, and figured high in the history
of the state 1t was completely destroyed by
fire during the war, and has never been re-
built. M saE .g

condition of affairs upon land was similar.

THE HARMONY OF cOLoRS.

Selections in Fitting Up Apartments
Dressing, Etc.-Hints to Merchants.
By harmony of colors we understand
colors placed side by side in such man
ner that they do not injure the effect of
each other; rather, on the contrary,
conplete each other, i. e., they gain in
intensity.
Those who are familiar with the har-
mony of colors can, by using objects Of
familiar use make such selections in fit
ting upsapartments, in dressing, etc., SO
that with the greatest simplicity they are
able to produce more favorable effect
than is possible with the most extrava.
CANT expenditure without a sense of har-
mony in color.
A merchant, dealing in colored goods,
can very greatly improve the appearance
of his stock by knowing how to group
them in such way as to produce har-
monious effect. Very often, owing to
lack of taste with reference to colors
among dealers, it will be found that the
silks iii one shop will appear much
fresher and brighter than in another.
This difference in effect to colors is, how
ever, nothing more or less than one mer-
chant arranges his goods SO that the col
ors are in harmony, while the other does
not follow any definite plan. In the
first instance the goods gain, while in the
second they lose in intensity of color.
The attention of the ladies is particu-
larly called to the Importance of har-
mony in colors, for the most of them in
the selection of their colored dresses,
bonnets, and trimmings, produce the
greatest discord in the composition of the
colors. Harmony in color does not de-
pend on the will or caprice or personal
taste of an individual, but it is based on
the Interchangeable laws of nature, which
we shall Immediately discuss.
Red and Green-A red body reflects
green rays, while on the other hand,
green body reflects red rays Therefore
green is the color which completes red,
and similarly red is the color which COM
pletes green. Both colors, therefore,
gain in intensity. '
Blue and Orange-A blue body often
reflects orange rays, and inversely
an orange body will frequently re-
feet the blue rays. Orangeis, therefore,
the complementary color of blue, and
vice versa, therefore each color intensi-
fies the other. :.-
Violet and Greenish Yellow-A violet
body reflects greenish yellow, and in
versely a greenish yellow body reflects
violet. Both colors, therefore, complete
each other, and intensity each other.
indigo and Yellow-Indigo reflects
IlIeyr r~ and yellow indigo rays, hence
each other ........,. ..a.-9--

all the other colors which are compile

that rises abruptly from the waters edge. It
was the first place of interest passed, and di
rectly after we lost sight of its great central
tower and long cluster of wings, which

we were called in to supper by tlfe tinkling OF

to give an appetite to those who lacked it
and that was never the fate of a newspaper

So we greatly relished the nicely cooka
waffies and chicken, and when supper was
ended wandered back upon deck.
The first object that attracted the attention
was an enormous blazing light some four miles
Upon inquiring of one of the officers of the
boat we learned that we were approaching
the settlement of the Economics, com
munity with rather quaint notions of life
and the manner in which they have
established themselves at this place, which is
called Economy, proves that they thoroughly
believe in what they preach. The light which
had SO suddenly attracted our attention was
a. fhai1
property and so near the landing stage that i
was unnecessary to use other means to obtair
light to load or unload boats at night @
The most singular thing about these quain
people and their still more quaint methods
is absence of single door upon the front OF
any building in the town, whether that build
ing be used for dwelling or shop.
The Economics first settled i'll this vicinity
under one named Phillips, who was in man
ner their ruler, at some distance down the
river from Economy, and the place was
known as Phillipsburg. 1t was finally aban
dolied to form another colony, with new

THE vANDERB1Lr CLUB HOUSE.

The VANDERBILT CLUB HOUSE.
The number of railroad accidents due to
the unfitness of railroad employees through
unsteady habits will of course never be
known, yet it is a well understood fact among
railroad managers that in the major part of
the accidents due to negligence, investigation
showed incidentally, though the fact was
considered hardly worthy of notice, that the
unfortunate employe ''had not been taking
proper care Of himself" * -s
Railroad corporations have heretofore
cared little for the comfort of their em-
ployees. 1t is expected that they be ready to
undertake any extra work in the way
Of long runs, often without rest for days,
often sending them into strange towns with
out any care whether they find accomlnoda-
lions for food or bed to rest in, only caring
that they be on hand to take up their journey
at the time ordered. Little wonder that men
so deprived of proper rest and food are not
likely to be vigilant .sa d
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt, recognizing all
this, is about to provide a building for the
employees of the railroads centering in the
Grand Central depot, New York city, where
men may find recreation and rest without
running any risks among the temptations of
the city.
This building viii be 60x40 feet 1t will be
substantial structure, with bath rooms, gym
nasium and bowling alleys in the basement;
reading room, library, room for games and
offices on the first floor; large hall for
general meetings and rooms for classes
IN the second floor, and rooms for
ianitor's family and sleeping rooms
for men coming in late or detained in the
city over night, in the upper story Our ex-
terior view of the building, drawn from the
architect plans, shows that it win be an
ornamental neighbor to the great depot, as
we'll as an elegant resort for the hundreds of
engineers, ffremen, conductors, brakemen and
other men of the rail, who form the floating
population of that mighty terminal station

He was Edward r. G. Judson, of the great
Christian missionary family of that name.
His father was a Philadelphia lawyer, in
which quiet city this restless spirit was born.
His father intended him for legal light, but
the youngster ran away to sea in ship going
around the Horn On his return home his
father endeavored to show him the career
that the study Of Blackstone might bring him.
But without avail; then, making virtue of
the necessity, his father appenticed his way
ward boy to the United States ship Mace
donian, obtaining for him midshipman's
position. His -midshipmen, in their
youthful would-be aristocracy, refused to
associate or mess with him on the ground that
he had served as n common sailor and was
not their equal. He certainly was not for he
proved himself very soon their superior, chal-
longing them all to fight, one after the other,
and coming off victorious in each contest.
One of his antagonists is now an admiral in
the navy. After that there was no more talk
about equality. While serving in the navy he
rescued the crew of boat which had been
run down by ferryboat in New York har-
Dor. But it was on land, not ON sea, that
young Judsons most adventurous period was
passed AS an Indian fighter and as scout
in the great civil war he became justly
famous. On the plains he met with Capt.
Jack Crawford, who regards Ned Buntline as
the bravest man he has ever met, while as to
his craftsmanship there can be no dispute.
On shipboard he broke a small bottle sJIs-
pended from the yard arm with one shot and
cut the cord that had held the bottle with the
shot following, and years after, in trial of
skill with Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack and several
Indian chiefs he took the first prize for
quick, sure aim His adventures among the
Indians would fill volumes. He was great
admirer of the Indian character, though he
took no stock in "Cooper's Indians" as he
called them.
Ned kept himself constantly before the
public in some sensational way. He was
leader in the Known Nothing movement. Was
arrested as one of the principals in the For
rest Macready Astor place riots in New
York He was tried before Judge Charles P.

but one year in the penitentiary. He had al
ready begun to fire the youthful heart with
his Munchausen tales, and this he continued to
his death. No one can estimate the number
Of stories he wrote His income from this
source averaged $4,000 year. During the
war he was arrested and confined in Fort
Lafayette for overstaying his parole. He
had tried nearly everything III his time
and it was to be expected he would
try the stage. This he did, in company with
Buffalo Bill, for whom he wrote a play,
Their first appearance was in st. Louis, and
as it was new business for them, both became
stage struck. Buffalo Bill forgot his part,
Ned became boggled, and the play ended in
roaring farce.

farm at Stamford N V where he leaves his
fourth wife and family He was model

Some years ago q party of Cambridge phil.

penetrate into the yasty depths of Cornish
mine. Professor Farash, who made one of
the number, used to relate with infinite glstc
the following startling incident of his visit:
