"HEART FAILURE" DOES Nor Co.
The Philadelphia board of health has
decided that there is no such disease
as "heart failure" and has issued a
warning to physicians not to put this
name on certificates of death as being
the cause of death, but instead the
name of disease from which the pa
tient was suffering before his heart fail
ed. Itasserts, whatevery sensible man
knows, that heart failure is not
disease in itself, but is simply the
result that follows other complaints,
and that the use of the word gives
too good an opportunity to conceal
the existence of contagious diseases.
Hereafter the board will issue no
burial permits in cases where certifi-
Gates give heart failure ns the cause
OF death. 1t has grown to be a fad
to have everybody die of "heart
failure" and we are glad to see a
halt called in an official quarter
Ever since Adam the heart has "fail
ed" when "A man has died.

The MYSTERY OF THE NARoNIc.-It
seems exceedingly improbable that
the mystery surrounding the fate of
the steamship Naronic will ever be
solved. In the months which have
elapsed since she was given up for
lost not a particle of evidence has
come to hand throwing light upon
the unknown disaster which sent her
and all on board to the bottom of the
Atlantic. The British board of trade
has carefully examined all the theories
suggested, and has finally come to
the conclusion that it is confronted
with an unsolved mystery. The Ma
ronic is known to have been what the
sailors call "greatroller." Ii is the
belief of some seafaring folks that.
owing perhaps to the way in which
her cargo was disposed, in "A heavy
gale she rolled SO far that it was inn
possible for her to right therself-that,
in fact. she rolled completely over
and went down with all her rcompany,
before a single man had a chance To
save himself. This at least is a pos
sible explanation of the mystery.

were adrift on the prairie. This was
bad enough: but at ten o'clock or there
about the corral master came in to say
| that the riderless horse of the other man
had Just arrived at the gate and, barely
Lble to stagger, was led inside.
"Pete had flask along" said the cor
raj master sententiously. "That's what's
the matter with him."
Then Sterrett could stand it no longer.
Soldiers there were none to send-they
were all over the range, at the canton
ment or beyond; civilians were there in
plenty, dozens of refugees from the
ranches, dozens of railroad men and
train hands, one or two disgusted CORE
spondents who had got the 'tip" as to
impending movements all too late to
catch the luckier members of that all
pervading fraternity, but who were quick
to realize the ''scoop" they would have
in transmitting to their respective jour
nails full and picturesque details of the
Dakota blizzard. 1t is an i'll wind that
blows nobody good.
Even though every one told him he
could accomplish nothing whatever be-
fore daylight, Sterrett had little party
of stalwart frontiersmen duly equipped
by midnight and ready to start the in
slant the gale should show signs of mod
Grating. Hour after hour it shrieked
and howled, driving the sheets of snow
before it, sweeping the frozen prairie
clean as Il floor, but whirling dense white
clouds into every sheltered gulch and
ravine, settling the drifts in the lee of
every stack and shed and building at the
railway station where, "dead" and aban-
doned lay the engine of the eastbound
train, the passengers huddling for
warmth into single car and cheerfully
discussing the propriety of using the
other for firewood.
And then, before the first faint glimmer
of dawn, as though spent with its own vio-
lence, the gale began to die. The clouds
scudding southeastward drew aside, un-
curtaining the placid heavens, where
the stars were family cleaning and then
twinkling out of sight. Soon in blaze
of glory and triumph the sun rose slowly
over the far distant bluffs and looked
down upon the scene of wrath and desc
lation wrought by rude Boreas in the
conquerer's absence; and just then, too,
there hove i'll sight battered little squad
of troopers on spent and jaded steeds,
and the sergeant in command rode breast
deep into the drift at the south entrance
of Sterrett's Office and yelled over the in
tervening shield of snow the stunning
question:
did the ladies get back all right? We
can't find the ambulance anywhere along
the Wolf"

The BAPTIsTs IN VERMoNT.-The
Vermont Baptist Year Book shows
that there are in this state eight
Baptist associations, comprising 1O2
churches, with aggregate member
ship of S6SS. OF the churches, SO

stated supplies. The amount re-
ported as raised during the year for
home expenses is $67, 7,552, and for
outside religious and benevolent OBJ
jects, 81 ,534, a total of $79,1O5.
In the Sunday-schools there are TO-

scholars. There are 7S ministers in
the state, of whom 80 are pastors,
several supplying two churches each,
and 10 are without charge, a num-
ber of these being aged and infirm.
The Baptist convention aided 81
churches to the amount of $2761. 81,
and it also employs a general mis-

for strength, he had struggled on afoot
long after abandoning his fallen and
crippled horse. No beckoning light, no
glimmering star to guide, only the rude
buffets of the cruel, pitiless blast, the
singing, biting, thrashing Of the snow
pelting him like small shot, to point the
way, yet savagely to beat him back-to
bid him face and force them, yet furious
to overwhelm and down. Weak and ex-

went moaning aloft from his cracked

The Farmer and the Newspaper
Man

Many people think that newspaper
men are persistent dunners. BY way
of comparison let us suppose that
farmer raises 1000 bushels of wheat
a year, and sells this to 1000 persons
in all parts of the country, a great
portion of them saying, g / will hand
you a dollar in a short time" The
farmer does not want to be small
and says, "All right" Soon the
1000 bushels are gone but ne has
nothing to show for it, and then ho
realizes that he has fooled away his
whole crop and it's value to him is
due him in a thousand little driblets,
consequently he is seriously embar-
rassed in his business, because his
debtors, each owing him one dollar
treat it as small matter and think
it would not help much. Continue
this year in and year out as the pub
Usher does, how long would he stand
it? A moments thought will con-
vince anyone that a publisher has
cause for persistent dunning Ma

Even Good Ones Had Better Be Burned
After Being Preached Few Times.
sit is very long time since ] preached

the bishop of London, according to the
Times Of that city, but when did
preach written sermons. which / did
for considerable number of years,
always used to find that If / had
preached the same sermon in different
places, say, FIVE times, had had enough
of it-whether other people had had
enough of 1t or not. l became thor
oughly tired Of the whole thing, and
thing altogether different; and have
always advised preachers, after having
preached a discourse a certain number
of times, without laying down how long
they might have been in doing it, to burn
such sermons. / am convinced myself
that the best way always is to write
your sermon three times over and then
to burn it and preach what you remem-
Der Of it. But even that viii not do
when you give up writing sermons, and
when you come to speaking, not with
out previous preparation, but without
any previous writing of It. 1t will not do
simply to burn what notes you have
written, because then the words stay in
your mind, and If you have to speak
out, they come whether you want them
or not. They are ready and the occar
sion seems to present itself, and the
words seem as If they had sort of in
dependent action Of their own, and
they say: Here's my place. and out

AnimalcuIse That Live Fifty Generations
in Day.
The ephemerids, tiny-winged insects.
which were said to be born In the morn
ing, to be in the prime of life at noon.
and to be in extreme old age at sunset,
are put completely in the shade by the
group of animalculae which DIR. Dallin-
ger has been investigating, and which
he has named saccophytic. So moon
ceivably small are these creatures that
six million of them could be placed on
the severed end of hair of medium
thickness
The function of the group is to play
the part of scavengers. They breed in
dead organic matter, breaking up the
tissue in order to set free the gases and
other elements of which it is composed.
No fiction can be stranger and more
wonderful than the true story of the life
Of these invisible creatures. When
born, by the process of assures from the
parent body, they ARE tiny specks of
egg-shaped protoplasm. Minute by
minute they grow larger. Then the
bodies are quartered, as it were, by the
appearance of a lengthwise and
crosswise fssure; further assures are
speedily carried diagonally through the
divisions of the cross. Then q third
series Of assures is carried through the
diagonals. The next process Is kind
of twist, that gives the assures grace
full curve. Last of all, the body of the
creature breaks up entirely, and each
section between the assures becomes q
complete creature itself, and COM
mences the same round of existence.
The whole Of these changes, from the
separation Of new creature from the
parent body till itself breaks up in the
same manner, takes place within hall
an hour

LOVELY GREEN EYES.

Tho sea Serpent Has Them, for the Pas
sengers of the Angola Saw Them.
The officers, passengers and crew of
the Liverpool mail steamer Angola de-
clare in positive terms that they have
seen ''the marine mystery, the sea SER
pent," off the west coast of Africa, de-
clares the Pail Mall Budget. They are
said to have signed a paper in cold ink
and set phraseology to this effect. While
steaming along the coast between Bay
Beach and Lagos long moving mass
was discerned about mile from shore.
A close examination showed 1t to be an
immense sea serpent The attention of
the whole of the officers, crew and pas
sengers was directed to the monster
There were no fins or fappers to be
seen, but the leviathan was proceeding
along at the rate of five or six miles an
hour by an undulating, wriggling mo-
ton. 1t was travelling in an opposite
direction to that in which the steamer
was going, and it was kept in sight for
more than ten minutes. 1t was esti-
mated that its length would be about
two hundred feet. The water at the
time was as smooth as a mill pond, so
that an unobstructed view of the mon
ster could be had At one time it
raised its enormous head and looked in
the direction of the ship, showing two
tremendous green eyes, as if glazing at
the steamer. 1t was broad daylight at
the time, and when first seen the crea-
ture was within easy distance, being
readily discerned with the naked eye
and the glasses which were used only
confirmed the opinion that it was a sea
serpent
