his efforts to have his country properly
represented. The flora Of the Island is
as rich and varied as any of the tropical
islands Of the world, and naturally the
plants and fruits will be of first impor-
tance in its exhibits. At an early date
the extensive botanical gardens were
established and put in charge of we'll
trained Englishmcn, who arc not only
experienced Dotanists, but experts in
tie knowledge of propaFating and

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1892-12-03

ut seems strange to me-" said man
who had recently returned from Europe,
that some of the New York merchants
who sell dry goods, carpets. furniture, etc.,
do not have show windows such as are
seen on the continent, which extend from
the basement to the ceiling of the ground
floor. If one such were arranged it would
not only attract great attention on account
of its novelty, but also because it would
afford such an excellent opportunity for
the display of goods The longest portieres
could be hung up in it, and be seen to much
better advantage than is possible in most
of the present windows.
"An idea of some of the merchants in
Germany is to have their show windows
of this kind divided into two floors. The
top one is fitted up as a library or reception
room and the bottom as kitchen or din
ing room. The effect is very realistic, as
the window looks like the section of
house. New York Tribune.

The Tobacco Heart.

The influence Of tobacco upon the heart
is frequently more strongly marked than
in any other direction. There are few per-
sons who use this substance to excess who
do not suffer from the disordered action of
the organ in question Tie impulse is
rendered weaker and more irregular, so
that faintness, intermittent pulse and pal
pitation are induced
The tobacco heart is 50 well known and
recognized by physicians that when the
organ is found to be in an abnormal con-
dition questions to the nSSHnt in regard to
the use of tobacco are I ever omitted, and
prohibition is insisted upon in every case
without exception. am very sure, from
my own experience, that many young per-
sons lay the seeds Of organic disease of the
heart from the excessive use of tobacco or
from beginning it too early in life.
1t not only lessons the nervous influence
by which the heart is kept in action, but it
causes deterioration of the organic mus
cular fibres of which the organ is COM
posed. Weak heart" and heart failure"
so commonly met with in our day, are,
have no doubt, very often the direct con-
sequence of the abuse of tobacco.
Inc use OF UODaccO Oy minors Snoulu De
absolutely prohibited, not by laws which
are impossible of enforcement and which
cucumber the statute books, but by home
influence and command. If this were
done we should have much less of the dele
terious effects of tobacco, for it is very GER
tain that no young person can use this
substance, even in moderation, without
suffering more or less severely at the time
and laying up for himself future troubles
of even more serious import.-Dr. William
A. Hammond in New York Herald
