There Is Hope for Those Afflicted With IL
IL They TAks Courage.
Let those who are hlunted with
suspicions of heart disea Sc, and even
those who have COOL reason to %nOw
that they are su fering from that in
surable malady. take coIrage from
short story told by the late Sir An1rew
Clark in the course of a clinical lecture
1T the London hospital.
After reminding the young students
Of the necessity for caution in the
''prognosis," or forecast of the pro-
rress of this disease, Sir Andrew went
IN to relate an anecdote of the house
governor of that very hosp.tal-a cler-
vyman who was aoout to be married.
His intended father n law came to
him and said, You see you have got
no moncy, sir; you must go and get
your life insured" At the end of the
medical examination the physicians
said to him: I'VE cannot accept you. {"
''Why?" asked the astonished house
governor. s4Oh, we woul1 rather not
say" "But,," he said, 81 have never
been i'll in my life," and indeed he
was . sturdy fellow. "Wen," said the
physicians, Iii you will have it you
have got heart disease" Heart dis
ease? How long shall live? Shall I
live for six monshs?" "Oh, yes" re-
piled the medical men, ''yOu may do
that"
He weat home and the match was
broken of. He wrote to the commit
tee saying that rs he had q mortal dis
ease of the heart, and could not live
for six months, he withdrew his appli-
cation for rooms wherein to dwell
with his wife. On the receipt of this
letter the committee deliberated, and
said: I'VE must supersnnuate him
/ poor fellow; and, as he has but si1
months to live, we will let him have
his full paT." Accordingly he was SUI
perannuated upon his full pay, and
upon this superannIity, sal Sir An
drew. he lived for more than 6ftJ
years.

AND 1T WASN'T REAL.

But the Young Lady Did Not Know It
and There Was Scene.
Those little patent affairs which
are the latest in toydom are destined
to create a great deal of excitement
along crowded city thoroughfares.
One day last week, for instance,
there was group of male pedestrians
gathered in close ranks with craned
necks about a fakir on a Chicago
street.
A :resh-faced. pretty girl in a big
hat and stylish wrap sailed jauntily
down the street, the embodiment Of
brave and Independent womanhood.
This dauntless young woman ell
bowed her way ahead through the
crowd and glanced casually at the
fakir with little supercilious smile,
which included the group of curious
loiterers.
Suddenly the group was ag:tat,d
and swayed in from the curb, and q
small dark object scurried across the
pavement.
"O-wr'
A distinctly feminine scream smote
the circumambient air an l the brave
young woman, her eyes distended by
terror, grabbed at her skirts with
botl: hx:.ds and sprang into the mid
die of the street. recklessly under the
very nose of a herdic horse. The
herdic driver said som cthing mPhatic;
the men on the pavement grinned;
the fa,lir dangled his patent gray
mouse and expatiated on its resem-
blance to the real thing, and the
young woman made a wide circuit of
the fLkir's corner an dived into the
I crowd skurrying down Washing ton

IN A NEW LIGHT.

Tho Girl Gave = Perspective Picture
That Fetched the Old Man.
The young woman was trying to
persuade her father to give his consent
to her accepting very worthy young
man he did not want her to marry,
and he was stubborn.
''But. papa" she insisted, che is the
man of my choice"
"Well, he isn't the man of my
choice, and you shall not marry him, -
he persisted.
The girl grew firm at once.
"Now, look here, papa" she said.
''Some day my daughter will probably
come to her father as I'm coming to
you, and he will refuse as you are do
ing. Then my daughter viii say
coaxingly to her father, But, papa,
you were mamma's choice and then,
in reply to that would you like to have
that man say to your granddaughter.
No, wasn't, was your gran1fa-
ther's choice" Answer me that. Do
You think it would be a pleasant
thing for that man to say to your
granddaughter"
The father blinked two or three
times and rubbed his dome of thought.
'tUm-er-um-" he hesitated. ''lt
hadn't quite struck me that way be-
fore. guess you can have your own
way about it" and up TO date nobody
has heard any cause to regret the
girls successful argument.

One Less Mouth to Feed.

There are always, even in the hard
est times, those who pretenl to doubt
the existence in city like New York
of poverty that begets despair. The
sleek and thrifty individual who re-
volts against the very thought of mis-
cry ends by denying its existence.
''This talk about starving thousands
is nonsense" he says ''If people are
really hungry and have no money,
why don't they apply to the authori-

He Is Obliged 10 Restcrs Judge Longs Pen.
sion-A Vested Right.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The commits
sioner of pensions hss decided. in view of
of the passage of the &C: of Dec. 2l. 1898,
declar ng that pensions are a vested right,
that he no longer has the right to withhold
the p.n,ion of Judge Long of the supreme
court of Michigan, aud accordingly has or
dered that the suspension of his pension be
removed. This action is taken as a result
of an opinion by the attorney-general to the
fleet that as no notice OF the intended ac-
ton of the department in stopping hi. pen
sion was given Judge Long. his c.se clearly
came within the act of December 81.
Judge Long took the ease TO the supreme
court in the District of G, lumtia on man
dsmus to compel the missioner to re-
spna the payment of his pension of S72 a
mouth. This high rate pensitn. it was
claimed by the officials, could legally b,
granted only to p srsons who by reason of
disabilities required the constan. attendance
of another person.
rhe action of the commissioner of PEN
sions renders unnecessary any decision of
the court ia the mandamus proceedings. 1t
is believed That the revocation of the order
of suspension will be followed by like &C
ton in similar suspended eases.
The commissioner claim, Judge Long ia
entitled to only $50 per month. He will
give Judge Long notice that unless addi-
tionsl testimony is furnished, his pension
v i'll be reduced to $50 Il month.

NOVA SCOTiA'S COAL TRADE
Said to Be Failing Into the Hands OF Whit
ney Syndicate.

MONTREAL, Jan. There is every evil
dence of trouble brewing for the new
Whitney syndicate which secured control
of the principal coal mines of Nova Scotia
and Cape Breton. Emissaries from the
discontinued section of Nova Scotia have
been in Montreal testing the feeling here
and endeavoring to work up an agitation
against the syndicate. The idea is when
parliament meets to bring in a resolution
questioning the right of the Legislature
the Whitney,. The Montreal members
have been asked to support such resolu-
ton, and the majority OF the members
from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
are said to be pledged to it.
The syndicate is now said to have an
option on the North Sydney mines, which
are owned by English and Scotch cap
italists, principally the Cunards. If the
syndicate secures these it will have the
entire coal trade of Nova Scotia in its
hands.
Much opposition is developing toward
the syndicate among the laboring men in
Montreal on account of the new discharg-
ing machines which the syndicate intro
duced here. while there is also the fear
here that with free coal the Pennsylvania
mines will drive the Nova Scotia coal out
of the Montreal market In any case there
is likely to be a fight oyer the matter at
the next session of parliament.
