A"HRokEN HEART"

Observations ON Animals TO Asoertair
Whether There Be Such Thing.
That severe mental distress or fright
sometimes produces physical disease
and occasionally even death Is an adj
mitted fact although the way in which
1t acts has hitherto been but little
studied, says the London Lancet. In
order In some measure to supply the
deficiency in our knowledge regarding
this matter DIR. g. Bassi has recently
made a number Of observations on
animals which apparently died in con-
sequence Of capture. Birds, moles
and a dog which had succumed to con-
ditions believed by DIR. Bassi to re-
semble those known among human
beings as acute nostalgia and "a
broken heart" were examined post
norton. Generally there was hyper
@miA sometimes associated with
capillary hemorrhages Of the abdomin-
al organs. more especially OF the liver.
also fatty and granular degeneration
OF their elements, and sometimes bile
was found in the stomach, with or
without . catarrhal condition. The
clinical symptoms were ut frst those
OF excitement: especially in the birds,
these being followed by depression and
persistent anorexia.
The theory suggested by DR.. Bassi
Is that the nervous disturbance inter-
feres with the due nutrition of the
tissues in such way as to give rise to
the formation Of toxic substances
probably ptoinaines-which then set
up acute degeneration OF the parenchy-
matous elements similar to that which
occurs In consequence of the action of
certain poisonous substances such as
PHOSPHORUS o. to that met with in
some infectious diseases. In support
OF this view he points out that Schulz
has found parenchymatous degenera-
ton In persons dead from acute delir-
ium. and that Zenkes found hemor-
rhsges in tho pancreas in persons who |
had died suddenly; no refers also to
Soma well-known facts concerning
negroes in a state of slavery and to
the occasional occurerve OF jaundice
after fright. He hopes that these
hints may induce medical officers of
prisons and others IL study both

The letter was a tolerably long one;
but there is no occasion to quote more
than the above passages from it. In

would be safe to tell Mr.. Longfeld all,
and l had by no means made up my

with a very serious face, to inform me
that Dr. Bowles had sanctioned his i'm

these subterfuges were of no avail.
"You are keeping backsomething from

"Please don't do that, because it isn't

effect which il produced upon him was
startling in the highest degree. Up to
that moment l had firmly believed
Jack Longfeld to be a modest and even
a somewhat timid young man; certainly
had imagined that he was a good deal
in awe of me. But these illusions were
rudely dispelled when | found myself
being kissed and embraced without so
much as a preliminary word of warn
ing, and when he did speak, the asser-
ton that he made was characterized by
anything rather than modesty.

One Case of Honesty That Paid.

A score or more of cash boys employed
in an up town dry goods store organized
strike. They wanted an increase of
fifty cents a week in their pay and the
abatement of two or three obnoxious
rules relative TO fines. The determine
ton to strike was unanimous, and each
boy was taken, as fast as circumstances
permitted, into the remotest corner OF
the cellar under the store, and made to
"swear upon honor" that he would not
back out Of the movement until the OBJ
jects sought were attained. A day or
two before the day fixed for the strike
housing porter caught three of them to-
gether in the cellar, and his threats to
report them for attempting to steal
frightened them into telling him their
secret. Utterly disregarding their pleas
to keep still about it" the porter went
directly to the superintendent and ex-
posed the plot.
That very night all of the cash boys
were summoned before the superintend-
ent after the store had been closed. "If
there is to be any striking in this store"
said the superintendent, 81 propose to
strike first. Now l want every boy who
is pledged to this movement TO step for
ward. Only one boy stepped forward,
and he proved to be the most industrious
and trustworthy boy In the store. Each
of the other boys being questioned in
turn, denied any completely in the pro
posed strike. The superintendent was q
shrewd man. He soon ascertained all
the facts and found that the one plucky
boy proposed to stand by his strike

RATiONS FOR PIGS.
Relative Amounts of Fat and Lean Un
changed by Ordinary Foods.

Relative Amounts of Fat and Lean Un.
changed b., Ordinary Foods.
Bulletin 10 of the Virginia expert
ment station gives the details of eN.
periments with different rations fed
to pigs to determine their relative
economy and the comparative amount
of fat and lean produced by each. The
first ration was corn meal alone, in
which the percentage of nitrogen was
quite small; the second consisted of
10 parts corn meal, 4 parts bran, and
part beef scrap, and the third of parts
corn meal, 2 parts bran and 2 parts
beef scrap, which had a large percent
age of nitrogen. AT the beginning of
the experiment the 8 groups of pigs
g in each group weighed about the
same amount, but it soon became evil
dent the third group which ate most
nitrogenous food, was not gaining as
rapidly as the others, and after about
2 months all three of this group died.
An examination showed that they per-
ished from lack OF power to assimilate
food. The other groups were slaugh.
tered after 13 weeks feeding, but no
difference in the relative amounts Of
fat and lean could be discovered. The
group fed corn meal alone had gained
pound live weight for 14.79 pounds of
dry substance in food eaten, at cost
of 5.5 cents per pound gained. The
group fed 10 parts corn meal, parts
bran, and part beef scraps gained l
pound live weight for 1894 pounds dry
substance in food eaten, ut Il cost OF
as cents per pound gained TO sum-
marize it appears: !. That IL very mar
row ration is not fed with economy,
and may even cause death through
lack of power to assimilate food in SO
concentrated form. 2. That not the
slightest difference is made in the pro.
portions of fat and lean meat in hogs
fed corn meal alone and corn meal,
beef scrap and bran. 8. That the cost
per pound increase of live stock weight
was one-half of cent per pound in
favor of the bran-fed lot.

The Republican Candidate and His Mode
r.f.t of Procedure. aaf;
Time was when candidate on the
republican ticket went before his con-
stitucnts with the party platform ur.
der his arm and, following a long-es-
tablished custom, pledged himself to
certain measures more Or less of a re-
formatory nature. But that time has
passed-in Pennsylvania at least.
Now down in the Keystone state,
when candidate is presented to his
friends, he does not say he is going to
inaugurate this or that reform. He
confines himself to solemn pledge
that he will try not to rob the state OF
it's millions, will try his level best to
be honest, and attempts to impress up
on his hearers that he has sufficient
moral character to overcome tempta-
ton. Thus do we hear the republican
candidate for city treasurer down in
Philadelphia define his position. But
he goes further, as will be seen in this
excerpt from his letter Of acceptance:

lie at large that have not given to anyone
any pledge or pledges other than those which
now make, to do my full duty in the highest

for the sudden springing OF the sensa'
tional issue before snow flies.
And according to the same authority
blaine is not "in IT," Tie PRESIDENT IS
running the state department during
f,iaiae's absence, and Is getting ready
to spring this Issue as one OF his owp
invcntion,7 and q great deal, bigger and
better one than Ntr. Blaine's little re-
ciproeits !sshe. In short, the story is
.hat Mr.. Harrison means to outjingo
Jingo Jim and beat the great sensation
al republican statesman at his own
game of scnsationalisru.
t,s an interesting story as it stands,
but it is hardly to be accepted without
some grains of salt Mr.. Harrison is
not generally supposed to De the kind
of man to play such risky political
games or to try conclusions with such
an adept as the Maine statesman In the
| practice of the art sensational. Besides,
the assumption upon which the whole
story rests is that in going into the
small business of reciprocity with the
| poorest customers Mr.. Blaine has aban-
doned protection as an issue. He has
done nothing Of the kind, as he has
said himself He has only proposed to
enlarge the territory in which the
American tariff beneficiary can collect
his toll. That is all. No doubt many
of the Mckinley politicians would be
glnd TO get Mr.. Blaine out of the way,
and still more glad to amuse the people
with some bogus sensational issue next
year, and prevent themif possible from
having chance to express their opin-
ion squarely on the Mckinley system
of spoliation. These worthless would
be glad enough to make the president
a party to this little game, and they
are no doubt playing on his ambition
to that end. But if Mr.. Harrison has
the boldness and recklessness to play
the hand he has been greatly misjudged

but little injured, rhe explanation Of
this difference is to be found in the
fact that the blight fungus is pro-
pagated during the summer By. means
of microscopic spores, which:of course,
fell in greatest numbers upon the
young plants nearest the blight-in-
tested ones. The lesson tc be drawn
from the fact is too plain to need point
ing out If it were possible, indeed, to
isolate beds of young plants so as to
prevent the access to the leaves of all
spores, plants might be kept free from
blight indefinitely.
All through the sunni er the blight is
prcpagated by these long spores.
Toward fall the threads which have
been mentioned as forming the grow.
ing part of the parasite within the sub
stance of the strawberry leaf, form
solid, tissue-likc masses in the dead
part of spots, and finally these appear
at the surface as small black dots. The
function of these little nodules appears
to be to preserve the parasite condi'
tions of weather unfavorable to active
growth and multiplication. They are
in the old leaves all winter, and sen(
out in spring threads bearing spores
