HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans are certainly increasing. and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citenent and worry of American business
lite. 1t is more often the result of weak
stomachs, Of poor digestion.
zeal organic disease is incurable but
not one case in hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure Of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs. interfer-
Ing with their action, hence arises pal
pitation and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making it thin and watery, which irri-
.tates and weakens the heart
me most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to Improve the digestion and 70
insure the prompt assimilation Of food
This can be done by the regular 1se
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and ef
fectIve digestive preparation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found
at most drug stores, and which contain
valuable. harmless digestive elements in
a pleasant, convenient form
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time viii cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.
Full sized package Of these tablets sold
by druggists at 80 cents. Little book on

wills. When we go forth as knights of old in pursuit of any purpose we shall over come every hindrance if we go with the lances of our wills leveled and courage beating high for our aims and ends
 For and to him who swears his love the fairest, she is the fairest maiden under the shining pathway of the stars His Will makes her so; his will deifes her, adores her, shields her, would for her single handed fight the world!
 The gabbling fools of babblement are those poor creatures who bring their mar row, prejudiced, and self-satisfed minds to certain conclusions, called the making up of their minds, and then proceed to boast and render themselves obnoxious and ridiculous, that their opinions are fixed and not subject to change. Every soul not open to conviction stands doomed; every one who has arrived at final and irrevo- cable judgment concerning mere human at- fairs is self-cast into outer darkness
 To us is not given authority to will wrong a falsehood, an untrue, dishonest situation or condition, and if we assume the right to so will we cannot achieve per manent success, can make ourselves sure of nothing except shame and grief.
 It is easy enough for those who are well comed across the threshold of respectable ity, and to the softened lights in the com munion place of enlightenment and refine ment, to will deception and betrayal and to successfully work their will, creating unhappiness, even that woe that comes of tba of are sufficiently appalling to restrain all but the most hardened hearts, souls steep ed deepest in spirit of iniquity. The most enlightened mind Is the easiest imposed upon; the most exquisite refine ment may be subjected to villainies the very names of which it knows not; the purest and most angel-like maiden that walks the earth could hear language of lowest vice without a blush, not knowing the significance or import of such speech. And herein lies the devils daffodil way for the destruction of innocence; for an in nocent's ignorance of the terms and even the forms of vice leaves ever open a way for the tempter, the devil in form of man who wills the ruin of some so fair and pure and virtuous that the angels adore them dS ul lOI htdNti.
 And if there be any divine words which above and more and ever more the inno- cent of this world of sin need most to say, in form of ever-present prayer, those words are, Lead us not into Temptation, but De- liver us From Evil!
 Just outside the door joy awaits my be- loved. Joy is even tapping, rapping, gently knocking for the word to come in. Your will may fashion the word alluring, the most alluring in all the great-volumed lex icon of love-.
 It is yours for the willing-eyen heaven is yours for that, the unmeasured heaven of the immea surable afterwhiles!
 Here in this life we have the minor heav- ems and the minor hels. Life is made up of these Will is the key to the one, won't unbars the other.
 As we will, one heaven into another heaven unfolds, the lights of joy between, and peace and honor and hosts of friends throng in love of one another, making us happy figures in a great sum total of hu- man happiness.

HOGM MANAY.

From the London Chronicle.
 Hogmanay, which will be observed by most Scottish people tonight, has, as a word long been puzzle to philologists. Two derivations trace it to France. The verse which is generally sung by children outside the house on New Year Eve is believed to furnish clew. The first words, Hog manay! Trollolay, Gfe us O your brown bread, an none O your grey" are sup posed to be a corruption of an old French Christmas hymn which is still sung by the peasantry in Normany It begins, 'Le Homme est ne, Trois Rois la." Another derivation is from An gui menez," Head to the mistletoe," cry used in some parts of France by boys when begging on the last day of the year. In Scotland, First footing is a genial social custom or an excuse for heavy drinking according to the company.

It seems impossible that an other period of sixty-four years could bring in equally great changes in the political world or in the worlds geog raphy. She even outlived her assist ants, for out of the twenty-two minis ters- that she called to her assistance under constitutional rules only two prime ministers survived her-the one in office and Lord ~Roseberry. The life of the Good Queen was eventful, and history will dwell long and lovingly over it. When King Edward said that his beloved mother had passed peace fully away surrounded by her children and grandchildren he handed over to the grief of the world the death of a great Queen and noble woman.

Chanues in Victoria's Rejun.

When the Good Queen was called to VanBuren was President of the United States, and this country was scarcely considered worthy of a thought by the powers of Europe. She lived to see this branch of the Anglo-Saxon world de- velop into worlds power. She lived to see it become the richest and busiest country in the world and she lived 10 see it in harmonious relations with the motherland. This one fact must have been a great comfort to the aged Queen, who once at least averted war between the two countries.
 Not single ruler, crowned or un- crowned, remained unchanged during her long reign. She lived to see every one changed. She saw Popes come and go. She outranked in time even Francis Joseph of Austria, and Den- marks ruler, both very old men. She saw France kingdom, republic, an empire and again a republic. She saw Germany and Italy consolidated from fragments, and she watched the rise of Japan. She saw Rome handed over to a new Italy, and she lived to see China humbled in the dust, girt about with railroads and battleships and the power of the west.
 She lived to see Africa tracked and

One Woman's Great Glory.

Tt was in the famous Rotten Row drive in Hyde Park, London, at the end of May fifteen years ago that I first saw the new Queen of England reasonably near' said a former consul
 q was walking on the broad footpath by the side of that most widely known and praised driveway in the world, fair and lovely young Alabama woman being my companion In a walk I may not forget. She was young and very beautiful and I was young and very enthusiastic, and we joyed ourselves more than mere words could relate. All fashionable London was out for an airing, and we two from Ala bama fell in love with it all. Thousands of women of wonderful beauty and thou sands of men remarkably handsome loiter- ed and lounged under the wonderful great trees shading fair that mile-long walk but it didn't seem to me that any of those women, ful-expanding flowers of ancient civilization, were in any degree lovelier than she of Alabama.
 We had paused in our course and were leaning against the iron railing that sep arated the drive from the walk, looking on the thousands of carriages of the great ones-the Times of the next morning stated that the carriages in the Row numbered four thousand-and it was thrilling scene, four continuous lines of carriages moving slowly two lines either side the road way going in opposite directions, and not a hired carriage of any sort permitted by law to be there
 She's coming-shes coming! said the beautiful Alabamian nervously as she caught my arm, and thousands of other fair women spoke the same words earnest ly. The Princess-everybody in Great Britain since 1863 has habitually referred to the Princess of Wales as simply the Princess, thereby giving her whom all loved so fondly the distinct title, even they referred to the great Queen.
 Looking far down to the gilded shadow of the great golden Albert Memorial, the monument to the Princess father-in-law I saw a solitary mounted policeman coming on horseback at slow trot. He was sign that the Princess was coming, and I looked I saw every carriage the policeman passed stopped instantly and the hat of every man in sight instantly removed On came the sweep of the beloved royalty forming a thrilling tableau with the best dressed figures in the world, the vast crowd bending to a woman's smiles field of peoples might bend to June-time breeze.

THE MAN WHO DEFEATED TILDEN

From the Ph1ladelphld IlmeS.
 Thomas M. Patterson who has been elected United States Senator from Colo rado to succeed Senator Wolcott, is the man who defeated Tilden's election to the Presidency in 1876. He did not intend to defeat Tiden. On the contrary he desired to promote Tildens election, but his over confidence in the strength of the Democ- racy of Colorado made him sacrifice Tilden by clothing Colorado with statehood.
 Patterson had been elected a territor- ial delegate from Colorado in the great Democratic sweep of 1874 by d large ma Jority, and he was entirely confident that Colorado, if admitted into the Union, would be a Democratic state Congress was largely Democratic, and upon his positive assurances that the admission would add three electoral votes to the Democratic can didate for President the admission bill was passed.
 The first election in the new state was held in October when legislative and state officers were chosen, and it was generally accepted that no election would be held in November, whereby the choice of Presi- dential electors devolved on the Legislature To the surprise of Patterson and his friends, the Republicans carried the .state. by nearly 1000 majority, defeating him fof Congress and giving decided Republican, majority on both legislative branches The. result was that three electoral votes wer8 positively assured to the Republican scan- didate for President nearly month beS fore the Presidential election, and Hayes won by one majority.

HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Delegates At Large.

Public sentiment crystalized by the sense of right and justice endorses the movement to nominate Robert J. Lowe and Frank s. White as delegates-at- large to the Constitutional Convention regardless of the fact that they are both residents of Birmingham. These two men hold in the party exceptional positions-places that almost demand recognition of their claims. MT. Lowe is chairman of the State Executive Committee, and upon his shoulders will fall in no small part the task of secur- ing an affirmative vote upon the consti- tutional proposition. MT. White did noble work for the convention that was upset for personal reasons, and his work in the Morgan campaign will not soon be forgotten. He holds no office, and it seems but just that he should be made delegate-at-large.
 With no desire therefore to absorb an undue proportion of delegates, this city presents for the reasons stated the names of Robert J. Lowe and Frank $. White, both of whom certainly deserve good treatment at the hands of the party they have served long and well.

Uniform and Low Priced School Books.

Elsewhere we print thls morning in. other officers of Tennessee relative to the law of that State which brought textbooks to the public schools at req sonable prices. The saving is in round proportion one-third, and the yearly az gregate saved is very considerable. In all parts of the State uniform text books are used, and when a family moves from one town to another new set of school books is not needed for each child in it. In Alabama every teacher has his pet textbooks, and these pets are very expensive in one way and another to the people who have to foot the bills. In Tennessee there can be but one series of pet books. This is better, and more economical.
 Not only does Tennessee get goo1 textbooks at low price, but the people get books more substantially bound. rOT OHe-lnlfu leSS money they get books one-third more durable The re- suit is that Tennessee does not pro- pose to go back to the old system, when every teacher constituted himself d board of selection. One board does the selecting for the entire State, and the Testimony of Tennessees officials goes to show that the selections are satis- factory, although each teachers pet textbooks have been abolished.
 The new system of selection and pur- chase had to fight it's way in against the book trust, against custom and as a rule against the teachers. So it will have to do in Alabama. Custom is ever a tyrant, and the book trust is full of schemes and resources. The battle in this State will be as difficult as it was in Tennessee, or Texas, or South Caro- lima, but in the end sense and economy will prevail in the purchase of school books as in other affairs, and uniform text books will be secured The Age Herald asks careful reading of the in- terviews gathered by it in Tennessee.

The ChoctaWs and Alabama.

A gentleman, once a resident of south- notice of the existing Choctaw trouble, said yesterday:
 ''Lo, the poor Indian'-Mr. Lo, as we have come to know what is left of him. The trouble now is with the historic Choc- Jaws. They have set up an enlightened constitutional civil government in the far off land to which we expelled them from the southwest corner of Alabama They are an educated and church-going popula- tion. But, alas, there is To, the poor h. dian in the situation, and General Fitz- hugh Lee is expected to bring the science of West Point and his own long, varied and glorious military experience to bear upon the final work of extinguishing the Choc- taws.
 Nothing but the locality, 'Choctaw Cor ner, and the hamlet little further to the westward. 'Pusmataha,' possibly a few other places with original Indian names are left in Alabama to testify to the fdel- ity of the Choctaws to the white invaders of their own land in the long ago. Never had white pioneers in America so unfail- ing red friends as these!
 There is a tale seldom told but worth the telling over and over again.
 ''The United States, nearly seventy years ago. invited the -Choctaws to a big extreme northwestern part of Alabama, as I remember the place. George Strother Gaines, a citizen of Alabama and former
