THE HEART IN OLD AGE.
Misconception That Causes Humanity
Needless Anxiety.

MiscOnceptiou That Causes Humanity
Needless Anxiety.
A story told by DR.. G. W. Bafour IN
his book on 1.-The Senile Heart well
deserves the double purpose OF marking
the practical process which scientific
medicine has achieved within the past
so years and of administering much
needed word of comfort and encourage
ment to those numerous workers who,
as age approaches, begin to feel uncom-
Portable about the regions of the heart.
MANY years ago" said DIR. Balfour,
"a gentleman of n consulted me as to
severe fainting fits to which he was
liable. A distinguished consultant, since
dead, had told him that these attacks
were due to fatty degeneration OF the
heart and that treatment would be OF
no avail The hearts impulse was I'M
perceptible, the sounds faint, but pure,
the arteries firm, but neither hard nor
tortuous told the patient that expert
ence had taught me that hearts supposed
to be fatty were often weak. =
The result of treatment was a steady
improvement in health and in force OF
heart beat, and the patient lived to be
90 and did not die of heart failure in
the end, but from senile asthenia. " 10
many people 'fatty heart" is a perfect
bugbear. But this is what DIR. Balfour
has to say about the diagnosis of the
disease: ''It is absolutely impossible to
diagnosticate fatty degeneration Of the
heart.
"We may surmise it's existence, but
we can only be certain of its presence
when we see it post mortem. If many
middle aged and old men could but
have this written deep upon the tablets
of their consciousness, what loads would
be lifted from their minds. Yet doctors
of small experience roll out a diagnosis
of fatty heart with sonOrous satisfac-
ton, unheeding that to many trem-
bling father of family it is like the
sound of deathknell On the question
of treatment DR.. Balfour is equally de-
cided. "We are often told," he says,
"that there is danger in treating fatty
heart. Yet the result of treat
ment in the case recorded was cure,
proving that heart supposed to be
fatty was only weak and that life
supposed to be over only wanted the
flip of few minims of digitalis to
carry it ON to almost the extreme of hui
man longevity So, true is it, even in
scientific medicine, that little expert
ence and common sense outweigh many
shiploads Of mere abstract theorizing. -

DIAMOND THIEVES.
The Trick They Use to Circumvent the
Ever Watchful Dealers.

The Trick They Use to Circumvent the
Ever Watchful Dealers.
A diamond dealer recently interview
ed gave some of his experiences as fol-
lows: "a few weeks ago foreigner
came into my store and desired to see
rings. After choosing for long time he
picked out one valued at $18. He made
me ridiculously low offer, which l
naturally refused. He then desired to
see two other rings-one a sapphire and
the other diamond ring-exhibited in
the show window. While reached into
the window for them / observed in the
mirror on one side Of the window how
the stranger slipped away two rings,
each worth $3.50. / did not turn around,
but went to the door, opened and then
locked it. If l had turned around, the
thief would have thrown pepper and
sand in my eyes and ran away with his
booty. A policeman was soon in the
place. The thief had the pepper and
sand ready for use in his hand.
"Another time a thief dropped two
rings into his umbrella, and at another
time another slipped one into hole in
his glove. A very common trick Of dia
mond thieves is to ask to be shown loose
stones, which are thereupon handed to
him lying upon waiter. He breathes
upon them, and thereby seeks to get one
or more into his mouth Others study
the rings lying in the show window and
have one made exactly to pattern de-
scribed. The gold is good, but the jewel
is paste. They then come i'll twilight
into the store and seek to exchange their
imitation for the genuine. '4-Jewelers'

Light Persons Poisoned by Ivy.

Mr.. I. Ten Bosch writes from Ro-
chelle Park, N. j., to Garden and For
est, saying:
Whenever I see tree in the embrace
of a poison ivy, I take my knife and cut
the vine. On the grounds of a few
friends and on my own have cut vines
from ~ to2a inches thick, sometimes
at the root and sometimes as far up as
could reach, and then tearing down the
stems have uprooted them with my
hands. have done this at all seasons,
and when my hands were torn by black
berry thorns, but l never had trace of
poisoning. A friend to whom I men
toned my immunity said, OF course
you are not poisoned, because you are
dark. Since then have been thinking
that in the cases of poisoning which had
come to my knowledge the victims had
been light haired. A younger brother of
mine, who is very fair, has been Sc
verely poisoned. "

LUCY WAS DEMURE.
But the Sedate Young Minister Feared
High Kicking Girls.

A sedate young minister recently took
up quarters in boarding house IN the
Tenderloin district He was delighted to
find himself the only gentleman at ia
BILE where six young women lent charm
even to murky coffee and hashed and re-
hashed hash He took them to church
with him on the first Sunday morning,
and in the evening they sang gospel
hymns for him. He retired early that
night, and the sound of their voices
lulled him to sleep, but it did not seem
to him that the song was exactly gospel.
However, he had forgotten the occur
renee by breakfast time.
The next day some marks on the door
of the back parlor attracted his atten-
ton There were just as many of them
although he did not notice that-as
there were young women, varying III al
titude from AZ to 81 feet. Over each
mark was a capital letter, but it did not
occur to him that these capitals were the
initials IF the young women. Under
meath the lowest line and around all OF
the lines except the two upper ones
which represented progress - was
smudge as if former lines had been rub
bed out in order to make later and high
er ones.
The sedate theologue became very
curious about these marks He asked
many questions, but the young women
only leased him by way of answer, excit-
ing bis curiosity and fascinating him all
the more. 1t had seemed to him that
young women of the city had more
charming ways than those of the coun-
try. One of the six in particular, by
name Lucy, had won his admiration.
She was the demurest of all, and she it
was whom he took to church alone and
for whom he bought ice cream and can
dy wrapped up in boxes bearing gold Ia
bells. Yet even she was proof against his
most subtle queries about the meaning
of those marks
What might have been the future re-
lations between himself and Lucy if he

RENEWAL OF YOUTH
A STRANGE STORY FROM A NE
BRASKA VILLAGE.

Villagers Excited Over the increase"
yieor of the Older Inhabitants
Experience of Two "Vets."
From the World Herald, Omaha, Neb.1
A World Herald reporter was at
tracted by the evidence Of renewed &C.
tivity of some of the older inhabitants
of the village of Bruce, suburb OF
Omaha, Neb., and inquired the cause.
Mr.. Andrew Finkenkeler, who was
member of Company B, of the First
Iowa Volunteers during the war, made
the following explanation so far as he
himself was concerned:
"In July, 1866, while my company
was on the march through to Austin,
Texas, was attacked with rheuma-
tism of the worst kind in one leg, at
Alexander, Louisiana. Being weak,
was sunstruck and remained uncon-
scious for several hours. Every sum-
mer since have been unable to stand
the heat of the sun, and have been
compelled to give up my work. There
was in my head bearing-down feel
ing, which increased until it seemed
my head would burst, and it caused a
ringing in my ears, and palpitation OF
the heart set in, so that the slightest
noise would set my heart humping.
Several times it has rendered me un-
conscious for from seven to ten hours
at time. In addition to this rheuma-
tism extended up my entire side until
it drew my head down OH my shoulder.
l lost my strength and flesh and was
totally unfit for work.
''For twenty eight years have con-
suited physicians and taken their pre-
scriptions without deriving any mater
ial benefit. My ailments increased in
intensity until was assured that there
was no hope for me. During last
year went into the butcher business,
but the dampness from the ice used in
creased my rheumatic pains to such an
extent that l was not only compelled
to quit the business, but was confined
to the my house and bed for nearly six
months.
"In November last I read in the
World-Herald case of man who
had been entirely cured from the all
NETS from which l was suffering, by
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. On November 20 pur-
chased box. In week 1 was aston
ished to- know that felt better than /
had for six months past, and before I
had used half box the ringing in my
ears began to lessen in volume and fin
ally left me. The pain from the rheu-
matism gradually left me, so that
within one week from the time took
my first pill was able to sit up in bed.
On January LIST was able to 60 out
and walk around little. The palpi.
tation of my heart entirely ceased. On
February was so thoroughly cured
that l accepted position as night
