It's the old, old story, told over and over again since the dawn Of crea-
tion. The story OF the heart. It's a theme that never weaies And yet
the saddest stories of the heart are those OF its disorders. Tt has been the
most neglected organ in the body. There are thousands OF cases of heart
disease that never receive the proper treatment. The average doctor knows
little Of the. heart, and treats the cases presented to him, as some other dis
order and in this manner, patients, instead Of being cured. are made worse
The testimony Of the lady whose portrait appears above is pertinent.
Dr. Niles discoveries, relating to the heart and nerves, mark a new era in
the treatment of disorders of these most vital organs. Heart disease,
formerly considered beyond the pale of medical aid, has at last yielded the
victory toDr. Miles, New Heart Cure. The reports received by DR.. Miles
Medical Co, of cases where special advicei is asked, show concusivey that in
a majority of cases complete cures follow the faithful use of DR.. Miles
Restorative Remedies The few failures are generally due to negleuce on
the part of the patient in not taking the remedies as directed.

In his interesting book, THE Law
gers of Maine" Willis relates an anec-
dote of Judge George Thatcher. who
was noted for his humor.
Solicitor Davis and Judge Thatcher.
when boys, were neighbors in Barnsta-
BILE and Yarmouth. Mass. The day after
the battle of Bunker Hill the militia
of these towns set OFF for Boston. The
boys accompanied the soldiers. Davis
acting as fifer a few miles out from
Barnstable an order came directing the
military to return home.
IN their retreat Thatcher and Davis,
tired of their march, mounted an old
horse they met OH the road. without
saddle or bride. After riding some
miles they dismounted and abandoned
their steed in the highway.
Many years after Davis. as solicitor
general. was prosecuting horse thief
before Judge Thatcher in the county of
Kennebec. Me. In the course of the
trial the judge leaned over the bench
and said in an underJone TO the .solic-
itor:
'Davy, this reminds me of the horse
you and stole in Barnstable."

are no marked differences up to the age
of about 1. The size of the head Is

Glass Cutting.

The layman who is introduced to the
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
time is amazed at the amour { of WORK
that the workman does entirely by his
eye. TIE first stage of the bowl which
is to be cut finds it in perfectly plain
condition, not a scratch upon it and
only half dozen OF more marks in red
chalk, which mean absolutely nothing
to the Impractical eye. But to the
workman they mean the whole pattern
Perhaps the dish is n salad bowl The
marks in chalk will run from the edge,
five intervals apart, down to the center
of the bowl at the bottom. In one of
the divisions of the bowl TINS marked
there may be a little further marking
in the shape perhaps of a diamond.
This indicates the pattern into which
the bowl is to be cut. and it will be re-
peated in each of the five divisions All

man has in his head, and they develop
