Heart Failure,

When a person dies suddenly
now days, the cause is at
tributed to heart failure. In
nine cases out Of ten it is not
heart difficulty at all, but is due
to congestion of the lungs Peo-
Pc take cold, and the lungs
longest The rapidity with
which this is done is remark
able. 4 prominent citizen of
an interior town took Russian
bath last winter and emerging
from the bath house, put on a
light overcoat, and started to
walk home. He had progress
ed a little over half a block
when he fell and had to be
taken into an adjoining house
Medical aid was summoned, and
he barely escaped with his life,
and yet he was perfectly well
when he left the bath house.
This shows how rapidly the
lungs may longest under fav-
orable conditions. In all cases of
this kind Reid's German Cough

People to Avoid.

If l were an employer of men should
avoid hiring any man who walks with both
hands in his trousers pockets, and should
hesitate employing man who even keeps
one hand in his pocket as he walks If my
business required that l should employ
women, no one of the sex who allowed her
dress train, be it long or short, to drag on
the sidewalk could find engagement
through me.
Oddly enough, all women abominate the
appearance of men walking with their
hands indolently pocketed, and most men
dislike the slovenly appearance of dress
train sweeping the pavement, yet those
same men fail to feel the beam in their
own eyes, while none of the street sweep
ing train wearers think to compare their
own ugly habit with the disagreeable prac-
tice of so many men.-Detroit Free Press.

the home of the brides parents in Forks
ton township They went away and later
it was noised about the neighborhood that
they had returned, and were staying at the
house of A 0ner A. Hollister, the groom's
father In the evening dozen young men
of their acqu aintance marched in body to
HOLSTERS house where Abe Hubbard began
to saw away on an old bass viol, while the
rest blew tin horns, beat pans, and ratified
cowbells until Mr.. Hollister told them that
the couple were not in the house.
Lost All Their Instruments.
They kept up their racket so long that
Mr.. Hollister invited the serenaders to
search the house from cellar to garrett. They
rushed for the door, left their instruments
on the porch, and began to go through the
house. AS soon as they were inside, the
three HOLSTERS gathered up the bells,
pans and horns and carried them to the
mill pond near by where they doopped
them throug holes i'll the ice. While the
serenaders were hunting through the
house Aleck Turnball IAN in and told
them that he bride and groom were stay

They reached the porch just as the Hol-
listers retured. The HOLSTERS are muscu-
lar and they pitched into the serenaders
and pumn eled them, finally driving them
from the yard. The serenaders have sworn
vengeance against the HOLSTERS, and it is
feared in the neighbood that more trouble
will come out of the fight

Waiting for the Bride.

A wedding ceremony was to take place
in one of the prominent churches. The
bridal party had not yet arrived, but was
momentarily expected, when a small boy
put in an appearance and gazed long and
curiously up the main aisle.
"Humph," he muttered disdainfully, Il
don't see any"
Don't see any what, boyf" asked an in
quisitive usher standing near.
Don't see de rails, of course"
''Rails-rails for WHAT" asked the usher,
in wonderment, as a small group gathered
around the boy.
'Why, for de brides train to run on
see?" And the boy escaped, and there fol-
lowed a stiffness so dense you could have
heard cough drop on the doorstep around
the corner.-New York Herald.

How an Elephant Eats.

An elephants digestive functions are
very rapid, and the animal therefore
requires daily large amount of fodder
800 pounds at least. In its wild state
the elephant feeds heartily, but waste
fully. 1t is careful in selecting the few
forest trees which it likes for their bark
or foliage. But it will tear down
branches and leave half of them I'M
touched. 1t will strip off the bark from
other trees and throw away a large por-
ton.
AS it is nocturnal animal, it selects
its trees by the senses of touch and
smell. Its sense of smell is so delicate
that a wild elephant can scent an enemy
at a distance of 1000 yards, and the
nerves of its trunk are SO sensitive
that the est substance can be dis
covered licked up by its tiny pro-
boScis.
An elephants palate is very delicate,
and the animal is whimsical in selecting
or rejecting morsels Of food.-Youth's
Companion.

Diarrhea and Digestive Troubles.

The connection between teething and
diarrhea has been considered until of
recent years as beyond question. But
even this IS very doubtful. For our
selves, we should have no difficulty the
oretically in surprising that painful teeth
ing might upset the digestion, just as in
nervous older children and adults we see
excitement and mental anxiety produce
like results. But actually, the more the
cases are examined the less certain is
the relation 81 the bowel trouble to the
supposed cause. Here again develop
ments in the digestive organs may have
anintiuence, and the effect of heat, either
directly upon the nervous system of the
child or by injuring food, is shown by
the prevalence of these diseases In sum
