Proper Length.

A lawyer is presumed to be always
able to suggest difficulty, no matter
how self-evident the case may seem :;
but the truly great lawyer knows
how to state point so that even a
brother lawyer cannot start an OBJ

Blade. Stephen A. Douglas and Mr..
Lovejoy were once gossiping tOgeth-
err. when Abraham Lincoln came in.
The two men Immediately turned
their conversation to the proper
length of mans legs.
Now" said LovejOy, cabs legs
are altogether too long, and yours.
Douglas, 1 think are a little short.
Let's ask Abe what he thinks of it,"
The conversation had been carried
on with a view to Lincoln's over.

it."
Mr.. Lincoln had far-away look,
as he sat with one leg twisted around
tine other, but he responded to the
question "Think of what ?"
"Well, we're talking about the
proper length of mans legs. We
think yours are too long, and Doug.
lass too short, and we'd like to know
what you think is the proper length"
"Well, said Mr.. Lincoln, "that's a
matter that l have never given any

mistaken but my impression is that
a mans legs ought to reach from his
body to the ground"

THOROUGHLY RECOGNIZED.-A
Virginian was showing company
of Northern men over a battlefield,
when one of them said II am re-
minded of an accident which occurred
here. 1 had charge of gun over
there near Fort Morton. One Sun
day, while there was no firing going
on and we were all loafing about, l
saw man come over the hill by the
cemetery and down across this slope
toward the rear of the Confederate
lines. His comfortable and serene
manner irritated me, I determined
to see how close 1 could come to him
and we all chuckled at the idea of
soaring the life out of him. I took
good aim and landed a shot about
six feet from him. You ought to
have seen him jump. He was the
most demoralized Johnny Reb you
evsr saw. How he did run and how
we laughed to see him."
$50 you are the man that fired that
shot. are you ?" said the Virginiar.
eyes do you know anything about
it ?" swell, yes, l think do" was
the reply. II was the fellow you
shot at. 1 was lad coming with
something for my father, who was
in the works. Ididn't suppose there
was a Yankee fool enough or mean
enough to shoot a cannon at one little
fellow carrying grub to his father.
But you don't exaggerate the scare.

About Weak Hearts.

+ A weak heart seems to be decidedly
more practically inconvenient than a
weak head. If a man or 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 eX-
cite any particular attention either
in the person concerned or in those
about him. But weak heart in
sists upon putting itself in evidence
at all sorts of convenient and incon-
yenient times. If Its possessor finds
himself rather late for his morning
train, and makes "spurt" to recov-
er lost time. the exertion is usually
followed by such a "bad quarter of
an hour" that he resolves in future
rather to lose dozen trains than to
risk temporary suffocatiOn or perma-
nent syncOpe again. The practical
evils which are associated with fee
BILE heart are innumerable, and will
readily suggest themselves to those
who possess so unsatisfactory

by no means so common as is often
supposed. Many man who thinks
he has got one is merely dyspeptic ::
many a woman owes her symptoms
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

a general weakness of the whole sys-

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 Wig

needed exercise to the heart, and
