Living Wit. "a broken Heart.

A remarkable case of survival for a
week with rupture of the heart is re-
ported. The nlan. who was SO years
old, short and piethoric, was playing
football, when he suddenly fell down in
a sort Of faint, but recovered in a few
moments and continued his play. Soon
after the game was over, however, he
had another and more severe attack. nc
companied by pain in the cardiac re-
gion, and q few minutes later he was in
. 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
up, 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
y break or rupture half an inch in diam
eter. It 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 q week later
some extra exertion caused q completion
or enlargement of the rupture, resulting
in the escape of blood and death.-Lon-
don Lancet.

Qrnfimely Criticism.

Untimely criticism is a barrier, shut

boy vibrant with enthusiasm. The cor
rection could have waited. and the boy,
with dsmpened ardor. turns away, tell
ing his next story elsewhere, while the
father some day wonders why boys are

An Invitation For Dolly.

Here is an invitation from Mrs. B.
for a children's party, Dolly" said .
mother. handing her little girl . note.
''See how nicely you a answer it your
self without my help" The child went
of and in a few moments returned with
the following: Miss Dolly A. cannot
accept Mrs. BIS kind invitation. as she
has something else to do that she likes
much better"
Now, how can l teach that child con-
yentional Iies!' said the parent laugh
ingly "a she handed the production to .
visitor.
II should not call 1t coayentionality.
but consideration for the feelings of oln
era. II is not necessary to be brusque to
be truthful" rejoined the friend. There
is . great deal said about society's white
lies. but am quite sure that children
are too genuinely honest not to detec,
the difference between the false and the
true, and there is no danger of a child's
becoming untruthful by using the for.

stealing the Declaration Of Independence

Stealing the Declaration of Independence.
When james Monroe was president
and John Quincy Adams secretary Of
state, an ingenious English engraver OBJ
tanned permission Of the two dignitaries
mentioned to take the Declaration of In
dependence and engrave it in facsimile
ON copper. He carried the precious docu-
ment to the printing Office of one Peter
Force. When everything was in readi-
ness, he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid sheet Of india paper Of
the same size upon it. This india paper
was next moistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. Aheavy
proof roller with weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document. When the
india paper was removed from the face
of the instrument, it took with it at least
one-half Of the ink used in writing and
signing the document.
The document is less than century
and quarter years old, and with proper
care should be almost as legible as it was
on the 9Th day Of July, 1776. AS it is,
only II signatures out Of the 5S can be
read without glass, and some of them
have disappeared beyond recall, all on
account of the thieving trick of gov
ernment which, when they found that
they could not keep the colonies depend
emit, stole the very ink from tho docu-
ment which declares our Independence.

The wife Of robert Louis stevenson.

Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson is port
ly, gray haired woman who was grand
mother-and looked it--wben she mar
ried this second husband. Her son Lloyd,
gnastly tales, '"Ine wrong BOX and
"The Wrecker," was a middle aged man
before he began TO write Her only 9TH
er child is the wife Of Joseph Strong, the
artist, and is herself painter in small
way. Stevenson has been accused Of
thrusting his sisters, his cousins and his
STUNTS into fiction. Certainly, although
Fanny Stevenson has produced some
creditable work as Mrs. Osborne, she
had no reputation for brilliancy in very
clever San Francisco set. There she was
introduced solely in the capacity of chap
eron, to sit, smiling, in her black silk
gown, while her gay little daughter sang
French songs or chatted with the bright
Bohemian club men.--New York Times
