This and Other Ailments.
A weak heart seems to be decidedly
more practically inconvenient than a
weak head. If a man or a woman be
a little feeble about the region of the
brain it is generally of little moment.
Some post or other will be provided if
the conduct be respectable; and lack
of brains is too common to excite any
particular attention either in the per-
son concerned or in those about him.
But weak heart insists upon putting
itself in evidence at all sorts of con-
venient and inconvenient times. If
its possessor finds himself rather late
for his morning train, and makes a
''spurt" to recover lost tirno, the ex-
ertion is usually followed by such q
"bad quarter of an hour" that he re-
solves in future rather to lose dozen
trains than to risk temporary suffoca-
ton or permanent syncope again.
The practical evils which are asso-
ciated with feeble heart are innumer-
able, and will readily suggest them
selves to those who possess SO unsatis-
factory pumping engine. Weak
hearts are by no Means so common as
is often supposed. Many a man who
thinks he has got one Is merely dys-
peptic; many q woman owes her symp-
toms to tight lacing or insufficient
feeding. If the dyspepsia be cured,
or the tight lacing be dispensed with.
the symptoms of heart weakness will
disappear. Even when the heart is
genuinely weak" the weakness is not
always due to special disease of that
organ. 1t may be only part of a gen.
eral weakness of the whole system
which is easily durable. The majority
| of weak, flabby hearts are weak and
fabby because every other muscle in
the body is weak and flabby, and this
general weakness and flabbiness is due
to want of vigorous use. Exercise of
the legs and back and arms gives addi-
tional and much-needed exercise to the
heart, and the heart grows strong by
vigorous exercise exactly rs every
other muscular organ does, for the heart
is O muscle. If a man has no organic
disease Of the heart, no enlargement,
and no functional disorder, plenty of
brisk walking, with occasional rum
ming, will soon dispel his breathless-
ness and heart weakness, other things
being equal. The muscular inactivity
Of the modern town man is the parent
Of more i!l-health than aEy other
single cause whatever.-Oncea Week.
American Machinery Abroad.
The exhibit of machinery at the
Paris Exposition is q notably large
and complete one. The pre-emi-
nence of the United States in this line
is shown by the fact that the Ameri-
can machinery exhibit occupies one
third Of the entire space in the big
machinery palace Of the exposition,
which is nearly 1,400 feet long, $40
feet wide and 170 high. That electric.
ity constitutes an absorbing problem
OF mechanical invention and physical
discovery Is shown by the prom.
inence its apparatus occupies.
Throughout Machinery Hall and in
various other parts Of the exhibition
there are 500 exhibitors in this branch
The universally Of the study devoted
to it is shown in the range of the
countries represented by apparatus
These countries include France, Ger
many, Great Britain, America, Bel
gium, Switzerland, Algeria, Austria
Hungary, Chill, Denmark, Spain
Italy. Japan, Norway, Portugal, Rus
sia and Finland. The Edison exhibi
occupies one-half Of the entire Amer
lean frontage, covering 5000 squar
feet. 1t is the largest single exhibi
in the exposition. 1t is devised t
illustrate in miniature most Of tn
great practical results OF Mr.. Edison
Inventions His entire category q
inventions, numbering 493, is repre-
sented. B.adstreets-
