Mississippians in Washington are
gratifled at the good impression which
a representative Of their State has
created in official life. A retiring
Republican official of the Interior de-
partment, in recent letter to a Mis-
sissippian, said this Of Assistant
Secretary Sims:
"Mississippi's representative in the
Interior Department has already won
a high place inthe esteem Of all who
have met him, and l venture to say
that no appointment will reflect
greater credit on the administration
than that Of Gen. Sims. He has al.
ready shown himself to be man OF
such high character, ability and good
Judgment, and wlthal courtly gen
tleman, that he has created favOra.
BILE impression upon all who have had
occasion to meet him. In all this he
only bears out the reputation youl
State has heretofore maintained
through it's representatives in the In
terror Department"

The Philadelphia board of health
has decided that there is no such dis
ease as "heart failure" and has issu-
ed a warning to physicians not to put
this name on certificate of death as
being the cause of death, but instead,
the name of the disease FROM which
the patient was suffering before his
heart failed. 1t asserts that heart
failure is not disease in itself, but
is simply result that follows other
complaints and that the use of the
word gives too good opportunity to
conceal the existence of contagious
diseases. Heart failure is simply the
cstoppel of that organ from perform.
ing it's prescribed function. A man
dies of consumption, which causes
failure of the heart, or he d es from
lock-jaw, the heart failing to act be
fore death ensues. In fact, there car
be no death without heart failure
hence 1t is too indetlEitc to asser
that any mans death resulted from
that cause, siuce the heart of ever!
man fails ere he ceases to exist.

No Tramp.

The man who timidly knocked at
the back door of the house did not
look exactly as If he were used to It,,
but he showed unmistakable signs of
necessity.
The cook opened the door and

from the inside.

pleaded, "and a pair of old shoes"

Stage Love Versus Real Love.

Does stage love impair real love?-Boston

We cannot say for sure, but we guess
not, or anyhow not always. Perhaps, in
truth, real love and stage love are often
of the same essence, of like substance, of
similar qaaltz and Qlqssly tE akjn t. eaah sia

marked, or even very marked. Ask the
younger Dumas or M. Pierre Lott or Mr.
Robert L. Stevenson or, in case all those

place, who rarely ever goes out. except
to collect the proceeds of his copyright
from the publishers of his novels. We
are unable to say whether Professor
Helmholtz, the German chemist now in
this country, who is a man of analysis
and apprehension, could throw any light
on the subject. But we can tell the Bos-
ton Globe that it is very foolish in put
ting its question about stage love and
real love to stage lovers and real lovers,
as it has vainly done. The question is
of the gallipot.-New York Sun.

Live Within Your Means.

An American capitalist, who is a keen
observer, is reported to have said that he
did not believe that there was an Ameri-
can citizen whose income represented a
salary who was not living beyond his
means. And he added that, if the man
had a family, he was bringing up that
family to standards and wants that he
could not honestly crafty. Our own OBJ
servation does not bear witness to this
assertion. But if the alleged fact be true
to any considerable extent it must be
regarded as among the causes of the
many embezzlements and other pecun-
iary delinquencies which have become
so common of late years.
playing the races" has been the ruin
of multitude, but living beyond ones
means must bear part of the blame. And
it is more serious than is commonly i'm
agined. 1t involves false pretenses and
fraud. 1t is a mean species of crime,
and yet often committed without any
conjunction. Men are afraid or ashamed
to say, II can't afford it," and yet are
not afraid or ashamed to contract debts
which they know that they cannot hon
estly pay.-Christian Intelligencer.

There are no crueler or bloodier wars

Pale as death and trembling lay poor

Her lips moved. Perhaps she was re-

Philosophy OF LamInation.

One of the most interesting contribu-
tions to practical science has been made
by Professor Tyndall in respect to cleav-
age, or lamination, his researches prov
ing that any material, no matter how
plastic or how homogeneous it may be,
has within it the condition or the devel-
opment of cleavage, and that the only
external condition necessary to produce
lamination is sufficient degree of pres
sure exerted in one direction upon the
mass. The resulting planes of cleavage
will be at right angles with the direc-
ton in which the pressure is applied.
The philosophy of this effect, as explain
ed, lies in the fact that, as relates to the
cohesion Of the particles, no substance is
strictly homogeneous--that is, the par
ticles, granules or molecules Of sub
stances do not possess cohesive power
equally in all directions; consequently,
when pressure is applied to them, they
slide over each other-the sliding sur
faces being those of least cohesive power
and move toward a point of less pres
sure. In the case wherein pressure is
applied in one direction only, the sliding
will be III a direction at right angles
with the direction of the pressure, and
thus plates, lamine or strata, are gener-
ated in the mass, the hmitiNg faces of
these layers having less cohesion than
their interior parts.
