About Heart Disease.

The changes which go to make up
heart disease take place slowly. and
go on for years without making them
selves known to the victim; and in not
a few cases death occurs suddenly from
such disease without existence having
been suspected. On the other hand.
there are persons who think they have
heart disease, when the structure of
that organ is perfectly healthy. They
complain of bad feeling in the cardiac
regions. palpitation, irregular breath
ing, etc. and such symptoms would
naturally suggest disease. In these
cases the trouble is purely nervous in
its character; that is. the nerves which
control the workings Of the heart are
in some way deranged. And very
generally this arrangement is the re-
suit of dyspeptic trouble. Those who
exhibit the signs described should turn
their attention to the stomach and try
and overcome them by careful atten-
lion to diet The quantity of food
taken should be no greater than health
and strength demands and only sub
stances easily digestible should be
eaten. In some people, even with
fairly strong digestive powers. tea and
coffee cause palpitation of the heart
hence their use is forbidden. Tobacco
also gives rise to the same symptom.
OF course this habit and all others
which tend to produce nerve weakness
should be discontinued. Where trou-
BILE with the heart is purely functional
the remedy lies with the victim. and
by wise restraint a cure is generally
effected. In fact medical treatment
is rarely needed. except it be to tone
up the system.

OLD cLoens IN LONDON.

Several very interesting old clocks
were shown in the loan section of the
home industries exhibition recently
held in Lon.lon. England. They are
worthy OF more than a passing notice,
and a view of them would we'll repay
all who feel an interest in neurological
mechanism. The following brief notice
OF their chief peculiarities Of construc-
tion is furnished by the jewelers.
Weekly:
The first which is worthy Of notice
Is one of two fine old clocks belonging
TO James Graham, Carnoustic. One Of
them is balance clock, and had been
made before the invention OF the
pendulum. Ii is noteworthy as hay
ing the same kind of movement as the
clock that was made by Henry de
Wick in 1870, had been patterned
after II, and probably was made not
later than 1900, about which time the
balance spring was invented. This
clock had a balance with shifting
weights for regulating, but no balance
spring.
The other clock exhibited by Mr..
Graham had been made after the in
yention Of the pendulum in l64l and
before the invention of the anchor
escapement in 1850. II is said 10 have
belonged TO one OF the earls OF
Aboyne AN ancestor OF the marquis Of
Huntly.
In external appearance the two
clocks are very much alike, being all
brass on the outside. turned, carved
and engraved. having each fine toned
bell suspended by diagonal arches OF
brass and forming a dome on the top.
Each clock has but one hand, pointing
10 hours and quarters minutes appar-
emily being Of less consequence in the
early days of clockmaking than now.
The escapements OF the two clocks are
different and mark very distinctly the
different inventions and improvements
10 neurological machinery at that early
time. 4 clock exhibited by Mr.. Yea
man Meigle, hung beside the twS
mentioned. was probably made before
the invention OF the anchor escape
ment as II has a verge movement anS
short pendulum.
| There is very curious clock exhib
tied In the loan section by Sir Regi
nald Ogilyy. II Is Of Japanese make
and has balance with shifting weight
for regulating. as on Henry de Wick
clock but possesses a great improve
meni on his clock In having balanc
spring "a balance spring being 70 tn
balance escApemcni what gravity Is /
the pendulum.
The method Of showing the time o.
this clock is also very curious bein
accomplished by the falling weigh
which drives the clock. A pointe
fixed 30 the weight and moving in
slot in the front of the clock cas-
points In turn 10 brass Japanese letter
or figures on the case, thus indicatin
the hours. In all probability tn
clock WIS made some time betwee
1900 and 1880

How n WHY Lecturer Held the Attention
of His Audiences.

Il walk up and down the pulpit.
stamping and shouting; and next
morning / see in the newspaper re-
ports, AT this point Mr.. Beecher be-
came very eloquent A better in
stance than this of the little tricks
which expert preachers practice upon
their audiences it would be difficult to
find; but biography furnishes many
similar examples.
A well-known lecturer having no.
ticed that the average audience Is al
ways at the height of expectation in
case of a faltering speaker. nearly
always adopted a little ruse TO secure
the attention Of those whom he adj
dressed. He commenced his speech
in the lamest manner possible, paus-
ing frequently and apparently full Of
dread. The audiepce settled down
with the idea that they were going to
witness miserable failure, and con-
sequently gave the whole OF their at
tention.. His point gained. the orator
threw off his faltering manner and
feeble gestures and burst forth into
fiery defamation with suddenness
that made nervous people jump.
During his speeches, Lord Beacons-
field would sometimes pause as if con-
sidering phrase. though in reality
what he was about to use had been
elaborated long before. The house.
aattered by the idea that he was watch
ing the process of manufacture as
it had been called, gave him its best
attention. until the pocket handker-
chief had been drawn forth and re-
placed. then out the phrase flashed,
and. rarely without producing the de-
sired impression.
1t is curious TO reflect how much
more easily man can trick his con-
temporaries than he can trick poster
ity. Sheridan, for example, was won't
TO rush from the house when an oppo-
nent made a quotation, go and look up
the passage in the library and endeavor
TO find an answer to it from the same
book. and, if possible, from the same
page. This shallow trick was inn
mensely successful, and gained him
great applause.
The famous Lord Plunket carefully
prepared all his best passages to the
very letter and with so consummate an
art that nobody could tell where
the prepared was welded into the ex-
temporaneous. So, too, did John
Bright.
Lord Lytton infers that Sir James
Macintosh rehearsed his gestures.
Chatham frequently went down to the
house wrapped and bandaged-evi-
IDENTIFY in great suffering. But by-and-
by. forgetting that he was enacting
the part of an invalid. he stretched
his arm from the sling and vigorously
brandished it.
So much for great men.

HER OLD CHARGE IN DANCER.
Aunt MarIa's Efforts to Save Her
Master From the Telephone.


Master From the Telephone.
There is a well-to-do young South
ern man in this city who lives in a
handsome residence not far from
Central Park, and he has among
other valuable possessions family of
seven children.
He had been drought up by an
old negro NANNY" somewhere near
Alexandria, Va, and when his wife
recently suggested that another nurse
be secured for the children his
thoughts reverted to Aunt Maria. He
decided to bring the old negress here,
and in few weeks she was comforta-
bly, installed in the nursery, much TO
che awe of the northern born young
southrons, who were not familiar
with institutions of bygone age and
who did not quite understand Aunt
Maria's authority.
The young man had telephone in
his house, and as the old negress had
never heard of that invention she
looked upon it at first with wonder
and then with suspicion. The jingling
bell, receiver and other necessary
/ adiuncts were more than Aunt Maria s
mind could master. She would
never go near "dat debbil's ting no
how"
Finally, one day last week S. rang
up from his office, and after briei
conversation requested his wife to
send the old woman to the telephone,
A great deal of persuasion was re
| quired to make her consent, but she
was finally induced to place the re
ceiver at her ear and listen.

East Indian Rarh ers.

The natives OF India are very

are OF the most primitive kind.

by an East Indian in Jamaica, TO
which place they are brought to work

had it so well and comfortable done
either in America or England; yet his
razor, to look at, seemed like one
purchased at 10-cent store. These
BARRIERS carry with them alittle brass
cup or miniature basin filled with
plain cold water. Dipping one finger
in the water from time to time, he
rubs in the water all over the part to
be shaven; no soap or substitute
is used; then he applies his razor, and
it glides over your skin evenly
and smoothly. and though he goes
over each part but once heleaves your
skin smooth as an infants cheek
Each batch that comes over to
Jamaica has it's own barber, as non,

Websters grave is the central object
in the ancient Marshfeld burying
ground. lonely knoll a mile from

impressive from its desolation and
certain melancholy grandeur that sur

like star that dwelt apart in its own

few exceptions, the only monuments
are the slate headstones OF the first

story is told at a glance. 1t is here

fathers in the simplicity and severity

with the character of Webster, and in

THE ART OF WALKING.
A Gentle Reminder for Gentle Maids
Who Lack style.

Who Lack style.
Some girls walk with spring. some
with a swinging carriage, some as
though they had on high-heeled shoes.
some as if they were breaking in new
ones, others slowly creep along, some
hobble; and in fact there are very few
who walk correctly.
What a glorious thing it would be IL
there would be organized in some Of
our big cities in the United States,
schools for learning 10 walk correctly
how il would pay-how well il would
be attended,
There Is not mother in the country
who is not continually reminding her
pretty daughters that If they only
walked better they might have more
chances TO marry.
There IL not mother who has not
stood up before her daughters, and
paraded up and down before them,
showing them, ''how she walked when
she met their father, and how ter
ribly they walk in comparison.
/ believe that there is as much char
acter about a woman's walk. and it is
rs demonstrative of her nature and
ways as the daintily gloyed hand OF
booted foot.
A person may be very careful and
all that in crossing muddy thorough.
fare, but If she has not that dainty
knack OF stepping she will undoubted-
ly spoil all the dresses she may put on.
Watch and criticise yourself yer!
accurately, that you may be able t.
tell where your faults lie.
