Dangers From Violent Exercise.

There is considerable diversity of
opinion as to the safety with which wo-
men may indulge in violent exercise in
view of possible injury. AS regard the
heart. there appears to be but one opin-
iOn-namely, that that organ, accus-
toned to quiet life, may be danger
ously and permanently crippled by the
excessive strain i'll athletic sports. Ex-
perience i'll medical practice, says an
eminent authority, teaches that the pa
tient with weak heart must be ex-
tremely cautious i'll his exercises, and
the demonstration of dilatation of the
healthy heart under sudden, violent,
exhausting effort which has been made
was of surprising nature. Many elm
ical observers in Germany and i'll this
country have detected by percussion and
observation of the changes i'll the heart
beats that there is under strain and exer-
tiOn considerable dilatatiOn, which con-
tinues for a shorter or longer time after
the exertiOn is over. Ocular proof of
this has been afforded by the ROentgen
rays. This shows not only the need of
caution by those in. good health, but
more particularly so in the case of those
who suffer from any weakness, consti-
tutional or otherwise, in this organ. -

sPAIN's LOSING GAME.
Things Which Have Slipped From He
Grasp In Three Hundred Years.

Things Which Have Slipped From Her
Grasp In Three Hundred Years.
Macaulay drew this picture of the
power of Spain 800 years ago:
The empire of Philip IL was undoubt-
edly one of the most powerful and
splendid that ever existed in the world.
1t is no exaggeratiOn to say that during
several years his power over Europe
was greater than even that of Napoleon.
In America his dominions extended on
both sides of the equator into the tenn
perate zone. There is reason to believe
that his annual revenues amounted, IN
the season of his greatest power, to a
sum ten times as large as that which
England yielded to Elizabeth. He had
standing army of $4,000 troops when
England did not have a single battalion
in constant pay. He held, what no 9TH
er prince in modern times has held, the
dominion both of the land and the sea.
During the greater part OF his reign he
was supreme on both elements. His sol
diers marched up to the capital OF
France; his ships menaced the shores OF
England. Spain had what Napoleon de-
sired in vain-ships, colonies and COM
merce.
She long monopolized the trade Of
America and of the Indian ocean. All
the gold of the west and all the spices
of the east were received and distribut-
ed by her. Even after the defeat of the
armada English statesmen continued
to look with great dread on the mari
time power of Philip. ~ Whoever
wishes to be we'll acquainted with the
morbid anatomy of governments, who
ever wishes to know how great states
may be made feeble and wretched,
should study the history of Spain. .-Ex-

HER CAT IN HER POCKET.

Bismarck Travels In State Wherever His
Mistress Goes.
A woman walked into the breakfast
room of one of Chicago's swell hotels,
dressed in travelling costume and carry
ing ON her arm cape of plaid cloth,
which she hung over the chair next at
table, disposing of it with some care, as
if it might be of value.
Then she gave her attention to the
menu and discussed a service of fruit
while she waited for her order. She was
reused from pleasing study of her plate
by series of "Ohs!" and "Ahsp' and
"What darling!" and hasty glance
showed her big white Angora cat seat
ed gracefully on the vacant chair at her
side.
"Oh, Bismarck, you dreadful catl'
she said, as the head waiter approached
with look in his eye that boded no
good to the cat.
II mus put him out, madam, he
said, with the assurance that goes with
head walters.
But his mistress clicked her fingers
and the cat disappeared. Every eye was
upon him, yet no one saw him go. The
waiter looked on the chair and under it,
but pussy had vanished like dream.
''Find the cat-he is in the picture
somewhere, " remarked the owner of the
pet, as she buttered her toast. But the
cat did not come back, and it was not
until the woman had finished her break
fast and was leaving the table, with
her travelling cape thrown over her arm,
that the mystery of the animals disap-
pearance was explained, and pussy's 5
head was allowed to peep from a ca
pacious inside pocket in that cape.
''He has travelled i'll that pocket from
the Pacific coast, and this is the first
time he has given away his hiding
place, " said his mistress. He will not
pur for fear of being found, but he is
near his journeys end now and is get
ting tired. This cape is his exclusive
property, and the pocket is his private

When the news of the destruction of
Cevera's feet by Sampson reaches
Camara he will shake hands with
himself for having been smart enough
to keep his ships out of the range of
American guns.
The large percentage of killed in the
casualties at Santiago-about three or
four times the old average-removes
all doubt about the small calibre rifle
being more deadly than the large cali
bre formerly used.
SO far as this country is concerned
Germany need not have taken the
trouble to officially deny the reported
German-French-Russian agreement to
shut the U. S. out of the Philip
pines. We never believed the rumor.

the agreement been officially an

When the thermometer gets above
30 the chronic kicker begins to get off
his rot, but our boys at Santiago
fought and won a great victory with

in Cuba might be good for the chronic
kicker, and it would certainly be good
for those who have to hear him talk.
The middle-of-the-road populists are
confident of the early end of the war,
or they would not have issued a
call for national convention to nomi-
nate a Presidential ticket, fourteen
months before election, against pop

CHILE.s HANDS ARE FULL.
Would Not support Spain Against the
United States.

special to TIE New York Herald from
Valparaiso Chile, says: Barring certain
surprise felt in official and diplomatic
imprudence, / can safely state that the De
LONE incident passed unnoticed and even
uncommented upon. The general press,
which is limited, publishes kilograms on
the subject, but these Chleans are deep
ly engrossed in averting a financial crisis
that many delicate questions pending in
neighboring republics are not pondered.
The blowing up of the Maine, while not
attributed here to foul play on the part of
the Spanish. created the greatest sensation,
awakening sympathy for the great sister
republic. The newspapers throughout the
republic publish articles deploring the
catastrophe and deeply lamenting the loss
of many precious lives.
The news that Spanish diplomatists in
to obtain support against the United States
causes surprise. and so far Chile il con-
cerned. il Is absolutely unfounded. True,
Chileans. in spite of the old quarrel with
the mother country, are deeply attached to
Spain. Spanish residents of Chile are nu-
merous and respected. The Chilean gentry
proud to trace ancestors to the old
country. but the fact that Chilean states
men are of tried prudence is guarantee
that Chile would never embark in a dam
gerous enterprise, such as an alliance
against the United States. for which they
have sincere friendship. Besides, Chile has
her hands too full In the settlement of the
ear to such propositions from the Spanish
representatives, IL made which most en-
phatically can vouch on the best authori-
~ they have not
