Mr.. BLAINE died Of heart failure;
ex-President Hayes died of heart fall
ure; Justice Lamar died Of heart fail
ure; Senator Kenna died of heart fail
ure. Great men everywhere die Of
heart failure, as II 1t were epidemic.
When Doctor johnson, who attended
Mr.. Blaine, was asked by a corre-
spondent the other day chow do men
die Of heart failure" he replied:
"They do not, only as they might also
be said to die for want OF breath. 1t Is
an expression employed solely by un-
intelligent or careless men In ascribing
cause of death. Suppose you had pneu-
monia and strangled to death. To be
sure you would die for want of breath,
but pneumonia would be the'cause OF
your death. Or, ifyou received fatal
blow on the head, a state of coma
would ensue, during which the action
Of the heart would become weaker and
weaker, finally ceasiDg altogether;
still you would not then have died OF
heart failure, but of injury inflicted on
the BRAIN"

The Silver Question.

Just when II seemed that Congress was
about ready to settle the silver question. the
President made some declarations which up
net the compromise, and 1t now seems that
we are as far from settlement as at the be-
ginning.
= The Press and Banner has lost no sleep on
this question, though we hoped to see the
repealers win, simply because Of the Presi-
dents wishes.
We believe some one has said that the
man who has given the subject much thought
ind great study Is not certain as to how 1t
should be. That the man who had thought
less, had some opinions about 1t, wnil. un-
speakable fools aud unaccountable asses
could speak positively on this vexed ques-
tion.

Rare Genfus.

Iremember once to have seen the role
Of q hero played with all the spontaneity
Of real genius by poor stage supernu-
merary. 1t happened during a battle
scene in Henry V at a Philadelphia
theater. In lull in the firing the au-
dience discovered that a fly at the top Of
the stage was ablaze. A stampede was
imminent. Half the people in the house
were already on their feet. Two men
could be seen aloft, making desperate ef-
forts to tear away the burning scene.
This added to the CONSERVATION. An
other instant and a panic would have
ensued, in which many lives would havO
been lost.
Such was the situation when out Of the
troop of soldiers on the stage stepped a
"super," and in roaring "aside" ad.
dressed to the trembling audience ne
shouted:
"Kape yer safes. Don'tyer see de fire
is in de play"
The effect was magical. Few believed
the statement, but unconsciously every,
body dropped back into his chair and
the play went on. A roar Of laughter
followed, and although it was five min.
utes before the fire extinguishers com.
pleted their work not atrace Of fear re.
appeared among the members Of the au.
dience. Inever knew that mans name
but I have always thanked God for his
presence of mind and his rich Irish
brOgue.-Julius Chambers.

Modern Methods Differ From the Customs

Modern Methods Differ From the Customs
OF Merchants of other Days.
In the good old times Of proverbia1
honesty, which was as much account in
the transactions of business as was the
necessary cash for capital, the merchants
word was as good as his bond. In this
progressive age it is different. A type
written letter is of no more value ina
business transaction than would be the
testimony of an idiot in a court Of law

college. Shielded behind the progressive
barrier Of civilization. cheek takes the
place of capital, and the integrity of old
time merchant princes, as Lawrence,
Appleton, Sears and other honorednames
are not essential or apparent in modern
business methods.
Transactions Of any magnitude, in as.y
line, can be carried ON by the aid of "a
typewriter, as in most cases the operate

The decadence Of simple honesty lis
greatly to be lamented. We have i'm
mind at the moment Of writing 4 caselin
point Of peculiar hardship. An honoured
gentleman, a helpless cripple, conceived
a business plan which promised succ ess-
full results. The plan was submitte to
firm rated high in the merca ntile
agencies and a still higher position in
public favor. 1t was eagerly acc eptea
and cordially indorsed at every point.
and all assistance promised to make it g.
permanent success to the mutual advan-
tage of all parties concerned. Alltcorre-
spondencewas favorable, and the pro
iector launched his enterpriseat heavy
outlay Of time and capital, only toibe
abandoned at this moment by this hon
orable firm and denounced by them as
assuming their sanction and support,
which they deny in toto. This support
and Endorsement being entirely by type
writer, the victim finds himself in
greater distress in mind, body and
estate than before this venture, but
without any legal redress. - Melrose

wonders of Geometrio,n Progression.

The story of Sysla and the king is usu.
ally told as a good illus tration of geo.
metrical progression. Sysla, so the story
goes, was the inventor Of the game Of
chess. The king was so delighted with
the diversion that he promised TO grant
any request the inventor might make.
Sysla, who must have been a mathema-
tician as well as a mechanical genius,
only asked that the generous king would
put one grain of wheat on the first
square Of the board and double the
amount upon each successive square up
to and including the sixty-fourth. Lucas
de Burgo says that there was not enough
wheat in the kingdom to pay the crafty
inventor, which was 1s,A46, ,744, ! ,O73, ,709,- =
557, ,615 grainsl According to a curious
medley Of figures published in the Louis,
vile Courier-Journal, there are s32, 900
grains in bushel Of wheat. How many
bushels did the modest inventor ask for?
The number of bushels as given in the
book "Curiosities Of the Game and Play
of Chess" fall more than one-third short
of the actual number.-St. Louis Re
