Heart Failure.
HOW TO AVOID 1T.

The epitaph on many tombstone is
"heart failure" No wonder, when We con-
slider the immense strain which is put on
that small organ. Marvellous as it is, beating
100000 times and exerting a force equal to
5,184,000 pounds daily, it has its limit-its
endurance often is too severely tested. So
common are diseases of the heart-though
often for o considerable time without the
suspicious of Che afflicted person being in
the least excited-that it is stated that one
person in four has bad heart! DIR. Franklin
Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, has for years made
a special study of all diseases of the heart,
and his remarkable success has made his
name familiar one in all parts of'our land.
He has found the most common symptoms
of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender
ness in the chest, back, stomach, 6ogetS, left
shoulder and arm, shortness Of breath, smother
ing spells, .Gainting, etc.
Mr.. George r. Smith, of Barnes, Yates
Co., N. Y, writes :-"DR. MILES NEW

"For months my wife suffered with palpi-
tation, smOthering spells, and was unable to
sleep on her left side. She tried several
doctors without relief. Your Heart Cure
was recommended. After taking three
bottles, she fully recovered her health.

American Tea Growing.

An experiment at tea growing was
made in North Carolina last season.
Tho result was the harvesting Of $50
pounds Of superior leaves, A more
elaborate plantation has been grown
this season, and, from present indica-
tions, the results will show much bet
ter. 1t was grown from seeds obtain
ed from the American consuls in
China. Enough has been accomplish
ed to demonstrate that a superior
article can be grown in this country.
The plant is suited to many sections Of
the West, and we hope to see some of
our irrigation farmers try the business.
Tea plants may be grown either from
seeds or cuttings. Many of the
Chinese varieties and most Of the As
sam hybrids develop into luxuriant
plants in this country. The yield for
1892, under high cultivation, was
equal to that of the best Indian gar
dens of the same age. The rate OF
production of we'll MANFRED garden
Of l 800 plants, at six years of age, is
reckoned at from $50 to 500 pounds.
1t is probable that the profit can never
be of any consequence, except in pick.
ing the small, young leaves, used in the
manufacture of high grade teas. This
is prevented by the Asiatic cheal
labor where tea pickers work for from
six to eleven cents per day.
Only the Assam varieties have beer
| tested at the Pinehurst plantation. but
the Chinese plants will bear this sea
son. The outlook is good for at leas

quality of tea being harvested. But
its value as a crop for profit remains t,

by hiring women and children at yer,
low wages to pick the leaves, the in
dustry can be made success. This i

An Abces. in the Church.

There is negro church in Somer-
vile and some funny things happen
there. 1t seems that there was a
little recess behind the pulpit which
was used for tho pastors dressing
room. One day in heavy rain the
fresco fell with a crash upon
the floor. Preparations were being
made to repair the damage with the
customary African promptness. The
pastor, however, soon got disguised,
and one morning, after getting his
feet covered with the dusty mortar,
he ascnnded the pulpit. Casting
his eye upon the dusky deacons oil
the church he announced with digni-
ty: "Bredren aud sistern, it gibs 20

| recently saw decided by justice
of the peace in Indiana. You don't
know, OF course and the drummer
looked as if he were very sorry for
the clerk, $50 I'll tell you that the
law in Indiana is that il man steals
fruit from the tree, corn from the
stalk or potatoes from tho hill he
can only. be held for trespass, but il
the property becomes detached from
the realty and is then taken, he may
be held for larceny, and larceny is a
serious offense.
The clerk nodded as il he knew
perfectly the difference between
realty and larceny.

afternoon | dropped into Justices
court whore man was being ex-
amined for stealing bag OF potatoes.
The justice was new one, the pris-
oner was an old offender, and the
crowd in the room seemed anxious
to see how tho novice was going to
deport himself on his first case.
They also wanted to see the prisoner
get dose that he deserved, for they
had all suffered by him, and not few
bets were laid that the new squire
couldn't do any better with the law
than his predecessors had done. 1t
was clear case against the prisoner,
for the owner of the potatoes had
chased him ou5 of the field, seen him
throw the bag over the fence, get
over after it, pickit up and disappear
in the woods adjoining, but could not
capture the thief, as he was old and
lame. The prisoner was smiling, for
the trespass penalty was light and I've
had been caught but once"

mer. 1.-The case being as / have
stated, and the learned justice hav-
ing heard the testimony, to the sur
prise and pleasure of everybody ex-
cept the thief, held the prisoner fol
larceny, for, said he, While it is tres
pass to steal potatoes from the hill
it is larceny to steal them when they
are separated from the realty, and
hold that it was trespass until he
threw them over the fence and sepa
rated them from the realty; ther
when he picked them up again. OF
the far side of the fence, the offenst
became larceny, and l shall hold thu
prisoner for larceny

and it paralyzed the prisoner"
