Lixiur with a Broken Heart.

A remarkable case of survival for a
week with rupture of the heart Is re-
ported. The man, who was % years
old, short and plethoric, was playing
football, when he suddenly fell down in
a sort of faint, but recovered in few
moments and continued his play. Soon
after the game was over, however, he
had another and more severe attack, &C
companied by pain in the cardiac re-
gion, and few minutes later he was in
a state of partial collapse, with shallow
breathing, almost imperceptible pulse,
and very severe pain over the heart. He
gradually improved and was able to sit
mp, but seven days later he had another
fainting fit and died.
At the autopsy the heart was found to
be fatty, degenerated and very friable,
and in the wall of the left ventricle was
a break or rupture half an inch in diam
eter. 1t seemed most probable that the
rupture was at first very minute or par
tial, not allowing the escape of blood in
to the pericardium, and that week later
some extra exertion caused completion
or enlargement of the rupture, resulting
in the escape OF blood and death.-Lon-
don Lancet.

Mississippi valley is natural ice cave
which is located in the bluffs of the

a natural icehouse-a cavern in which
great icicles may be found at any season
OF the year. being especially fine in sum-
mer, when the weather is hot and dry

located is between 200 and 400 feet in
height, it being necessary. to climb about
p feet up the sidesof the bluff to reach
the mouth of the cave. The entrance is

Learning FROM Englishmen.

1t is true that the English have culh-
waited sprinting, hurdling and the yari-
GUS field events somewhat less success
fully than we, but for all distances above
the quarter mile the English records ito
use our American standard of compare
SOM are the worlds records. This means
that the prevailing interest abroad is less
in the close gymnasium and on the dreary
cinder track than in cross country runs
and paper chases, which lead the athlete
through woods and fields. blow his lungs
full of fresh air and steep his senses IN
sunlight. Likewise the Englishman's
yacht is, as it were, his summer home,
while his horses are the companions OF
the hunt arG his travels. If yacht or
horse wins races for him, SO much the
better.
But he draws the line when it comes to
sacrificing their sounder merits for the
passing glory of sweepstakes. Thus sport
with him is pleasanter and less intensely
exciting. 1t is fruitful in mental relaxa-
ton and rest as well as in bodily health.
In short, Americans lack the strength
that comes through moderation and re-
pose, through wholesomeness OF mind
and body. We have yet to learn that
the work of life is too serious for us to
set our hearts and stake our health on
the pastimes of idle hours; that our years
are too few to be shortened by devoting
workdays and playdays alike to the
wasting passion of INSTRUMENTATION

Sale of TrOttePS.


CLEVELAND, March There was an
unusually large attendance at the an
nual sale of trotting horses in this city
during the morning. The fact that
Sidney was to be sold brought the
crowd. But Sidney did not bring any
thing like the price expected. In fact
he went begging at $27, 900 to the COM
plete surprise of every horseman on the
grounds. He was purchased by George
n. Hammond of Detroit, Mich, who
would have given considerably more for
him if it had been necessary. The to-
tai number of horses sold was SO. Ten
of these were from the Valensin estate.
The total amount realized was 500, COS,
of which $41, 675 came from the sale of
Sidney and the colts sired by him.

A Bogus Bears Ham.

The late Sir Richard Owen, the emf

Said to Be Better Than Morphine.

Mention is made of codeine sulphate
as an extremely prompt sedative In af-
fections Of the respiratory tract pos
sessing an advantage over morphine in
that it does not check the secretions, nor
does it lead to habit, nor has 1t dis
agreeable after effects, and it will allevi-

eighth to one-half, and, exceptionally,
one grain, given in pill OF in solution,
frequently in strip of wild cherry.
The oficinal alkaloid is rarely used,
the sulphate being preferred for the pur-
pose. If administered in water, an in
soluble residue is sometimes found,
which, on examination, proves to be the
alkaloid codeine, found in codeine sui
phate from the excessive heat employed
in concentration of the solution for crys-

Trees Require Good Soil.

Southern soil seems to possess the nee
essary substances for the growth of all
species of trees and plants natural to
warm climates. Substances that con-
tribute to the nutrition of plants will act
as food for trees, and, as we see the phys
ical properties of the trees themselves,
leaves and other matter have direct
share in their nutrition. There are some
soils SO hard and clayey that the roots of
trees cannot spread, and thus they fail
TO reach the substances which they re-
quire for food. Hence the tree becomes
stunted in growth and is soon dead, fall
ing to the ground to become, through its
ashes, nutrition for some other Trailer
plant which can subsist in such SOIL

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Repub-

to great modification in its defeat by
the minority side of the chamber on
motion which divided the two parties
into opposite camps. 1t was motion
to proceed to executive business. Mr..
Sherman made it and said that brief
executive session was important, but
that he could not give the reason. The
motion was defeated. When the result
was announced, and it was ascertalned
that no Republican senator had voted
in the negative, but that several OF
them who had not voted were not
paired there arose some disappointment
among Republicans who had voted.
The feeling found expression in the re-
mark: 1--WE might as well give the
senate over to the Democrats at once.
A renewal Of the attempt couple OF
hours afterwards met with like fate.
It was beaten by a majority OF 2. The
important features of the days session

Line company were torn up at Mowry's
Mills, 80 miles from here, and 1000 bar
rels of oil poured out into the creek, de-

1t is generally believed that persons
living in the neighborhood who have
done work for the company and claim
that they were not paid are responsible.
These people have frequently threat
ened to destroy the company's property.
