HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING The
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROU BLES.

Do Not be Alarmed, but Look for the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among Amer
leans, are certainly increasing. and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real, organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred OF
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the sympa-
thetic and pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is
affected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation
from half-digested food; there is a feel
ing of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
L.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food
This can best be done by the regu-
lar use after meals of some SAFE pleas
ant and effective digestive preparation,
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found at most drug stores, and
which contain valuable, harmless di-
gestive elements, in a pleasant con-
venient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular.
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble, except cancer
of stomach.
Full-sized packages of the tablets
sold by druggists at 30 cents.

Latest Scheme of On Up-tO-Oat Girl to
Tease Her Friends.

The up-to-date Chicago girl is not
losing any chances and her ingenuity is
being employed to make the most
the mistletoe superstition, says the Chi
cago Times-Herald. Everybody knows
that according to an old custom, which
comes down from the time Of the
Druids, a man is at perfect liberty to
kiss a girl who happens to be under a
sprig Of rnistletoe-that is, if the girl
is willing. 1t is the fashion to hang a
sprig of mistletoe to the chandelier Of
a room near Christmas time, and some
times it is hung over door, so that
every girl may be compelled TO receive
a salute as she enters or leaves the
room.
But these opportunities are not
enough to satisfy some of the girls. The
custom has arisen lately among them
of wearing a sprig of mistletoe on their
hats. It has been noticed this year for
the first time, and the custom has been
spreading.
Probably the girls mean nothing at
ali by it, but the temptation which is
offered to their masculine friends is al
most irresistible.

ITALIAN ANTIQUITIES.
An Underground Trade in Them In Spit
of Legal Interdictions..

An Underground TRADE In Ihcm HI cPA'o
of Legal Interdictions..
Some days ago well-known dealer
in ANTIQUITIES offered for sale to the
Louvre museum in Paris splendid col
lection of ancient vases from Italy or
Greek or Italian workmanship, says the
London News. The museum was una
BILE to pay the price asked-2 10000
and declined the bargain. The italian
minister of education, having learned of
this, has taken proceedings under the
Pacca law against Sig. di Frisco, the
owner Of these antiquities. The latter is
a large land owner at Bosco Reale. He
secretly made excavations on his estate
and found 2S silver vases of remote an
tiquity.
Notwithstanding the Italian law pro-
hibiting owners of antiquities from
sending them out of the country with
out leave, or. rather, on account of this
law, which prevents old works OF art
from commanding anything like their
natural price in the impoverished coun-
try, Sig. di Frisco struggled his find out
of Italy and offered it to a Paris dealer
for 6 5000. Continuing meanwhile his
search, he found other silver vases,
which duly joined their fellows in Paris.
and the whole lot was offered to the
Louvre. The Italian minister of educa-
ton throws interesting light on the
facilities which underpaid officials are
supposed to afford illicit exporters of
antiquities. He issues a notification
that, should any officials be found to
have connived at this latest evasion of
the Pacca law, they will be criminally
prosecuted.

"Overcoats, hats, suits, boots and

The barker in front of State street
clothing house was earning his money,

The customer he had caught was tall

A new overcoat was especially needed.
He looked along the line displayed,
took note of prices, and at last seemed
overpensuaded by the barker and
turned in at the entering of the door.
The barker watched him, tossing aft

ments of recommendation The shabby,
thin man had been worked off the

from &is left-hand pocket, amatch from
his right-hand pocket, and stand

dummies protected him from the wind,
lighted his pipe, buttoned his frayed
overcoat and passed on.
"Overcoats, hats, suits, boots-dad-
blng him, he fooled me-and shoes at

barker, and looked for fresh victims.
