SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

Last evening, just after tea, while Mr..
Thomas Hartman, a prominent and highly.
respected citizen, apparently in the best Of
health and spirits, was reading newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell to the floor; no
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious. The family were stricken with con.
sternation, and Immediately summoned Q
physician. But il was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause" -HolbrOok Herald.
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de.
tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which II is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have symptom Of this
dread disease do not hesitate moment in
attending to It. Delay is always dangerouA
and in heart disease too often fatal. Some
symptoms of heart disease are shortneSs Of
breath, huttering, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir.
regular pulse, Smothering weak or hungry
spells, fainting spells, dropsy, etc.

Cut Glass
 Exposition.

Fifty centuries ago, some ship-wrecked mariners, light ing a fire of debris and sea- weed, on the sand beach of Egypt, observed a coating of greenish crystal on the charred embers.
 Thus, according to the le- gend, was glass discovered, and the world made richer by one of its most useful and beautiful products.
 Egypt, Asia, (Damascus) Bohemia, Britain, France, and America, are successive steps in the ladder of it's history, and to-day, the finest glass ware, in the world perhaps, is made, and cut by our own Dolhnger and Hawke.

What is "Cut 9 Glass? /?

Strange, isn't it that the dullest metal, leaH, should be the soul of cut glass, giving it that sparkle and lustre and musical ring which distinguishes it.
 Flint glass, from which optical lenses are made, is the "cut glass material, containing lead instead of lime, as in crown glass. Strauss from which artificial gems are produced, is flint glass with more lead added.
 This is why cut glass is so heavy, and tough and less likely to break.
 Each piece cast in a block, is treated like marble, the design drawn on the exterior by han9, and carefully cut out with sanded iron wheels, smoothed by stone, polished by willow-wood, and en- graved by tiny copper cutting wheel, lnoistened with emery and oil.
 Great skill and taste are required in the cutting which is all Aana a0oyk- hence the cost.
