CAN THE HEART BREAK7
Many Instances of Death Being Due to
Grief, Fear, Etc.

Grief, Fear, Etc.
Grief does not kill, and it is, indeed,
very seldom that heavy sorrow causes
death to anyone when in a healthy con-
dition, a Y a writer in the Buffalo
Times. 1t is, however, very often the
indirect cause of a death, either by
bringing disease to a climax or by rem
dering the sufferer more liable to its at
tack. If a man is convinced that his
grief is more than he can bear those
who have studied the matter agree
that through the force of bis w
imagination the man will actually die
Of a broken heart"
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but it is supposed
that it would not have been fatal had
not his spirits been so depressed through
exile and defeat. William Fiat, the
heart" caused by his great grief at the
failure of his cherished hopes and
plans. And there have been many
ether such instances in the history of
this country. When plaques are raging
in a town statistics show that. as
many die from fright and imaginary
causes as from the real epidemic, SO
great a hold has the fear of death on
some people.
If a man is condemned to be shot it
has often occurred that on the word
fire" he has dropped l~ifeless, although,
through accident or design, no bullet
has in reality left the gun.
There is a queer case on record con
corning the daughter Of a celebrated
French novelist, who was deeply inter
ested in one of her fathers stories. It
appeared'in installments, and the hero
inc was suffering from consumption.
As the girl brooded over the sad fate Of
the heroine she, too, suddenly mani
tested the same symptoms. A physician
recommended the father to restore the
heroine to health, which he did a few
chapters on, and at the same time as
the girl in the novel recovered, so also
did his too sentimental daughter.

AMERICAN CONSERVATISM.
The owe and Influence Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States.

The Power and Influence OF the supreme
Court of the United States.
The supreme court is not an elective
body, and / suppose that might SCENT to
the English radical q sufficient reason
for sweeping it away, says the Nine
teenth Century. The judges are app
pointed for life by the president and
they are responsible to no popular tri-
bunal-not even to public opinion.
They sit as a court Of pure law, the
final authority from which in all Amer
lea there is no appeal. Their jurisdic-
ton, strictly defined though it be, is
coextensive with the whole union. It
is the one instance in history in which
popular sovereignty, acknowledged as
supreme in the long run for every other
purpose and every other authority to
which it has delegated power, submits
to a master whom it did not appoint
and cannot remove and cannot escape.
Everybody submits; the states them
selves, sovereign as they still are for
certain purposes, submit: congress and
the president, the army and navy, the
people themselves, all submit.
In the hands Of the supreme court de-
mocracy itself, if it seeks to pass an I'M
constitutional law, is powerless. A
unanimous vote Of the people, a unani-
mous vote of the house and senate and
the approval Of the president would not
make a statute law if this tribunal says
it is not a law. But do YOU ever hear
Of a proposal to abolish the supreme
court? Why not? It is not only that
the court has been a great court of
great judges, its honesty and ability
and wisdom alike recognized, but be-
the American democracy has the
good ems to see that, under a written
constitution like that of the United
States, such a tribunal is essential to
the working of all it's parts, and that,
check and ~all-powerful check though it
be upon democracy, it is also a guar
anty to the American people that, in the
words of the preamble Of their great
charter, justice shall be established
and the blessings of liberty preserved
to themselves and their posterity.

Odd Expressions in Use Among the
Natives.

Natives.
"Whims' is the local name in Cum
berland for furze, and appears to be
the Gaelic word quins, sharp points.
"Heaf" is a very peculiar word, de
rived from the Old Morse haef, a
share and is applied to the part of a
fellside common allotted to a particular
flock of sheep, says the Gentleman's
Magazine. Each flock keeps to it's own
"heaf." Some very quaint expressions
are "bride-loaf," a wedding cake; ''see-
in~g-glass," a mirror; "clout-hat," a
woman's sunbonnet; '.ridding-out
keam," a hair comb; Fireworks a
magic-lantern display; "moley-man," a
mole-catcher; "l~eg-weary," tired; "leg
up to trip up; ''sneck up" to wind
Literally to latch up) a clock.
The verbs 'feel' in the sense of to
smell, and "lame," in the sense of to
injure any part of the body, are
peculiar. We may add "pipe-stopple,' y
the stem of a tobacco pipe; Outlook, .
a footstool; thinker folk" the
gypsies; ''last DRESS" a shroud, which
children are taught to work at school,
and afterwards to present to their
grandparents and other aged relatives

that lack Of humor and sense of the

northern folk. A Cumbrian who goes
to have hisphotograph taken announces
that he has come to be ''struck."

DEsPIsED BY CATS.
The Maybe Is a Foe That Is Feared by
the EeIineS.

iIc EelllSSs .#
The pets Of the house were three
very large, black cats, great favorites,
immensely spoiled, and very digniied
and lazy. AS we regarded the Austria
liam magpie somewhat scornfully daily
ing with his dinner, we saw n of
these solemn black monsters advancing
at it's usual dignifed pace toward him.
A cry arose from the assembled family,
says the National Review: ooh, Tigris
will kill the magpie." The head of the
family desired to wait developments.
There was a painful suspense of breath
as we watched the shaggy black
Persian advancing on the plate and
magpie with a steady, unhurried step.
The magpie stood aside from the plate,
and with head well on one side,
watched the oncoming robber. There
was a world Of meaning in the glance
of that wicked gray eye, but it was all
lost on the digniied composure of the
Persian, who without deigning to look
at the magpie. proceed to sniff at the
contents of the plate.
The plru, motlonless as a statue,
waited till the black whislzers came in
quiringly over the edge Of the plate;
then he made one sudden hop, lunged
once, with a lightning stroke of his
beak, at the beautiful glossy black
muzzle, and was back again in his
watchful attitude SO quickly that one
almost felt disposed to doubt if he had
ever left it. There was no doubt in the
mind of the cat. Thatlightning stroke
of the beak had much the same effect
on the Persian as it d bomb had burst
somewhere in it's middle. It leaped
with a yell five PAGES backward, it's
legs extended, every separate hair of
it's long fur standing off it at full
length. When it reached the ground
it hesitated not for q momcnt; no fleet
ing notion of vengeance crossed it's
mind; with head and tail depressed. in
name as unlike as possible to it's dig
nied approach, it retreated at a good
round trot to the shrubbery whence it
had come.

to be incredible, is printed for truth in

Why The Law Is NOT ENFoRcED.

Why The Law is Nor ENFORCED.
The Temperance Union of Kansas
held a meeting at Topeka a few days
ago. Governor Morrill, delivered an
address. In the yours of his remarks
he said that the prohlbitory law OF
Kansas could not be enforced IN local
tiles where public sentiment was against
it. Why did not the Governor state
the exact truth by saying that the pro-
hibitory law OF Kansas cannot be en-
forced in localities where the offers OF
the law are opposed to its enforcement.
The public sentiment OF any portion
OF the state has nothing to do with the
enforcement OF law against highway
robbery, burglary, arson, rape and MUIR
der. These crimes are well-nigh prohlb-
tied because the officers have determined
that they shall not be perpetrated in
the communities where they have charge.
The officers do their sworn duty IN rel
erence to these crimes. Equal activity
would close every saloon in any district
in the state, although it might not pre-
vent individuals from using liquor con-
trary to tire law. Poultry viii. be
occasioully stolen IN portions Of the
state where crime is practically UNI
known, but these are the exceptions.
The p%rohibitory law is enforced rigidly
IN portions OF states in which the pub
lie sentiment is opposed to the law.
In any state where a law is not enforced
1T IS not because OF the public sentiment
against 1T, but rather because the pri-
waite opinion oil executive officers oppose
it. The side on which public sentiment
ranges itself adds greatly to the ease or
difficulty of enforcement but it is not
the power that controls either. What
states need to do is to see that men are
elected to office who believe that the
violation OF the whisky laws is the same
kind Of a crime as the violation OF laws
ton, and who will see that the law is
enforced. public sentiment or no public
sentiment.
Until a year ago 1T has been custom.
airy to serve punch at Harvard COM
mencement celebrations. At that time
all distilled liquors were forbidden at

up that new map. The fact that those
living here desire these lots is sufficient
refutation to the jealous charge of some
newspapers that the lots are worthless,
alkali, fake properties. Both lots taken
today are by Lancaster business men and
one of them wishes to improve his lot at
once. Our principal well borer was in
my office yesterday. He has put down II
artesian wells in the last month. He au-
thorized me to put an advertisement in
my paper that he would secure arteSian
flows on the Herald addition to Lancas-
ter at one-half the usual price. He knows
as we all do that the water supply for
both surface water and artesian water is
abundant and easily gotten. A man Of

Zette as part pay.
More alfalfa will be put in this season
than was in the valley altogether before.
There also will be hundreds of acres set
to fruit trees in the valley this wear. The
1900 acres of growing fruit trees are so
healthy and thrifty as to give the greatest
encouragement for future planting. In
another week the work will be BEGUN at
Palmdale according to contract signed
