not detected in himself at some time or

favorites as a woman does a striking hat
or gown, not because she no longer cares
for It, but because everybody knows her by
it. To some of us all things are either love

a ''bore'' az enchanting" Does not this

HEART. DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Net Be Alarmed, hut Look for the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Americans,
are certainly increasing, and, while this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
of American business life, it Is more often
the result of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real organic heart disease is incurable;
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 sympathetic 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 feeling of oppression and
heaviness in the chest caused by pressure OF
the distended 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 irritates
and weakens the heart
Ihe most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
IhlS can best be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and eff
fectfVe digestive preparation like Stuart S
dyspepsia Tablets which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valu-
able, harmless digestive elements in pleas
ant convenient FORM
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
s1stent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.

LONDON STAGE NOTES.
Play by Minister n Failure-Grent
Success of s"rhe Geisha.'

LONDON, Nov. 2O-An episode of pecul-
liar interest was the enactment by clergy
nen on Wednesday last in Canterbury Han
of the first church play in recent years. II
was entitled 1.-THE Conversion of England,
written by the Rev. Henry Cressweal, and
was really a succession of ten historical
tableaux, with the dialogue in stilted, hero
ic strain, to the accompaniment of sacred
music. The scenes included Roman mar
ket, where English slaves attracted Pope
Gregory's attention, the meeting between
Pope Gregory and the monks with King
Ethelbert on the Isle of Thanet and King
Ethelberts baptism, at Canterbury. The
central figure is St Augustine The cos
tunes, scenery and chants were historically
accurate. The play, however, is described
as "a dreary entertainment"
There are only four of the London thea
ters whose doors are not opened, although
the season is hardly under way, and two
of the four will be filled early in next
month. Yet for all this display of theatri-
cal activity, hardly more than half of the
thirty play-houses which struggle frenzied-
ly for the patronage and the money of the
Londoners are paying their running e%-
penses.
Various theories are advanced for the
failure of London theaters to pay, the most
credited one being that the increase OF
suburban playhouses is keeping suburban
play-goers at home Another fact whicl
PROFESSIONALLY counts is the price charge
for seats. An orchestra stall in a Londos
theater costs 10 shillings ($2.50), while othe
seats are correspondingly high. Yet NJ

The brooklet flows along its way
Thro' woodland ranges fair and wild.
And prattles to itself all day
In ripping accents sweet and mild.
Now winding round the curving hill.
1t races swiftly down the glen,
AS IL it fled from unseen i'll,
Or sought a hiding-place from men
Now all along 1t seems to sleep
Till rudely Weakened by a shock
All suddenly its waters leap
From off the edges of a rock.
And circling in the pool below,
1t passes outward thro the glade
Now with dreamy movement slow,
Then faster, as If still afraid.
1t pauses not, but wanders far
Across the growing meadows sweet
No note of discord seems to jar
On natures harmony complete.
On, on-forever onward, till
Where yon soft vastness domes the vast.
Obedient to the unseen VIII,
1t finds the mighty deep at last.
The secret of the pleasant dell
Twill whisper softly to the sea-
But it will neer return to tell
The oceans ancient mystery.
