ABOUT HEART DISEASE.
Ninety Per Cent of II Really Caused
From Poor Digestion.

Real organic hear, trouble is incurable.
but scarcely one case in hundred is or
ganic.
The action of the heart and stomach are
both controlled by the same great nerves.
the sympathetic and pneumo 60 stric, and
when the stomach fails to properly digest
the food and 1t lies in the st rnach fer
menting, gases are formed which distend
the organ causing pressure on the heart
and lungs, causing palpitation, irregularity,
and shortness of breath.
The danger from this condition is that,
the continued disturbance of the heart
sooner or later may cause real organic
heart trouble, and, in fact, frequently does
so.
Furthermore, poor digestion makes the
blood thin and watery and deficient in red
cOrpuscles, and this further irritates and
weakens the heart.
The most sensible thing to do for heart
trouble is to ensure the digestion and as
sanitation of the food
This can be done by the regular use af-
ter meals of some safe, pleasant, and eff
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain the
necessary digestive elements in a pleas
ant, convenient form.
Thousands of people keep we'll and Wig
orous by keeping their digestion perfect by
observing the rule of taking one or two of
these tablets after each meal, or at least
after each hearty meal
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets contain U. S.
+. pepsin, diastase from malt and other
natural digestives which act only on the
food. digesting it perfectly and prevent
Ing acidity. gases. and the many diseased
conditions which accompany weak stom-
ach.
When Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
used you may know you are not taking
into the system any strong medicine or
powerful drug. but simply the natural di-
gestive elements which every weak stomach
lacks.
So widely known and popular have these
tablets become that they are now sold in
the United States, Canada, and Great
Britain

Mother, come hack from that echoiess shore
And take me again in your arms as Of yore.'
When the mother is taken from the
home, the loss falls heavily on each
member of the family. But in time
kindly Nature heals the wounds, dulls
the memory, and comforts the heart.
The little girl turns anew to her dolls
and her plays and her mother becomes a
memory. The real loss that she has
sustained comes to her much later in
life, when rstanding with reluctant feet
where womanhood and girlhood meet"
she feels the need of mothers counsel.

One summer number Of years ago
Amos Cummings passed two weeks
on a pilot boat and took Ernest Jar
rold, the author of mickey Finn
Idylls," with him for company. One
day a great storm arose, and the pilot
boat was tossed about on the waves
like a chip. Every minute a wave
would dash over the deck and threaten
to carry everything away and swamp
the boat. Cummings and Jarrold were
in the little cabin, the former lying
in a bunk intently reading book on
the French revolution. Jarrold poked
his head out to look at the storm,
when mountain of sea water fell
with boom on the deck and filed his
eyes with spray. The boat gave a
fearful lurch and careened until it
seemed that she must turn completely
over.
This is awful, Amos" said Jarrold.
"Pm going to put on life preserver,
for I don't think the boat can stand

his eyes from the page. ''The men

Utter Failure of a Costly Experiment
to Make Spiders Weave SILK.
AS long ago as the beginning Of the
the thread that the spider spins from
its body as substitute for the thread
unwrapped from the cocoon Of the silk
worm was preached, but with little
practical result. An Englishman, Mr..
Rolf, secured 10000 feet of silk thread
from % spiders in two hours.
OF late some experiments have been
conducted by curious persons to ascer-
tain which spider produced the best
and largest quantity of silk, for it has
been demonstrated that it is an excel
lent substitute for that Of the silk
worm. Spiders from Paraguay and
Argentina, from India, China and Aus
tralia, were tried, but the best results
were secured from the spiders of Mad,
agascar.
1t was found that after laying her
eggs the female spider spins most free

450 yards in four days; from the fifth,

sixth, 1920 yards in q days.
A German manufacturer was so de-
lighted with this test that he made
elaborate arrangements for having a

females had laid their eggs and be-

were found TO have disappeared. Their

so fond of them that each female spi
der had eaten her mate. This catas-
trophe ended the costly experiment

Two of Nast,s Eacea.

William NJ. Tweed was portly man
of medium size, with long, pendulous
nose, little pOrcine eyes, fat, dropping
cheeks and straight, firm mouth that
was decidedly his best feature. The
outlines of his face were those of n
Bartlett pear, little end upward, and l
never saw craft so palpably written
upon human countenance. Mast
used to be fond Of drawing Tweed's
face, by the way, as a sack of money
The general contour of his head lent
itself to the outlines of the sack, and
he used S marks for the nose and eyes.
Strange to say, it was capital por-
trait.
Another of Nast's trick pictures was
one of Roscoe Conkling. He would
draw large letter V, with q smaller V
inside it and surmount the pair with
an interrogation mark upside down.
The big V represented Conkling's point
ed beard, the smaller one his sharp
nose and the Interrogation point the
Hyperion curl which he always allowed
to fall negligently upon his forehead
That caricature made the naughty SEN
ator wild and eXasperated him more
than any bit of fun that was ever poked
in his direction.-New Orleans Times
