APPLES AND BARBERRIES.
A Bountiful Harvest to Cheer Us

something substantial to offer thanks, TO.

what they could to make the law of com

for the house dog is not set on him and the
master of the farm just looks and half mods
pleasantly at him while he fills his pockets
and even tells him which is the best tree.
AS for the gathering of barberries one
hardly goes about that as incidental to any
other sort of outdoor lark; it is apt to be
the main business Of trip, since barber

Death From Heart Disease.

from the New York Herald.
The suddenness Of death from heart dis
ease presents quite characteristic features.
It most commonly occurs when least ex-
pected, and then all signs of life are extinct
at once. A melancholy illustration Of the
fact was afforded in the passing away of
Samuel D. Babcock. While walking with
a friend he suddenly threw up his arms and
fell as If shot. There was time for nothing
but a gasp. and all was over.
The physical reason for such an occur
of the heart, due to temporary overdisten-
ton of its chambers. In some instances
organic valvular disease precipitates the
ISSUE but most frequently there pre-exists
a degeneration of the muscular substance
of the organ and of consequent chronic en-
feeblement of its action. Under such cir
cumstances the slightest exertion, even
such as walking, is liable to invite a fatal
seizure.
With elderly people heart power and.
muscular power wear out together, and the
long stride is offset by the short breath.
With the slightest squirt of extra exertion
the lungs may become more or less gorged
with blood, and the pulmonary circulation,
thus unduly stimulated, throws increased
work upon an already enfeebled cfrculatory
organ. This condition continuing, the heart
loses its contractile power and Is instantly
at standstili This is what probably hap
pened with the case In point There was
nothing that could have prevented the ac-
cident. which Is the only consolatory
thought in connection with the startling
rapidity of its occurrence.

A Leprosy Cure.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


The faculty will shake it's head on read
ing that leprosy is being cured in Havana
Not that it disbelieyes in the ultimate pos
sibility Of cure, but that it will await au-
thentic or official disclosures rather than
cable reports. Much has been discovered
that was infallible a cure or preventive
in cases Of consumption, cholera, plague,
yellow fever, typhoid, cancer and leprosy:
but when the discovery was put to the test
1t did not cure and did not prevent. Some
times these reports have come from en-
thusiastic belief, but oftener it seems as if
they were started by men who had nos
trums to SELL or who had been cuItiyatinp
the plants to which these sovereign virtues
were ascribed.
Ten cases Of leprosy are under treatment
in Havana, and the physicians in charge
declare that they aIe making progress. The
new remedy Is extract from the red
mangrove. and is used inwardly as tonic,
and outwardly as a salve. Variety in diet.
cleanliness of housing, the personal use Of
soap, the unceasing war on vermin, the
habit Of employment and exercise, and the
quarantine laws that defend our ports,
seem to assure this country against this
loathsome and fatal disease; at least. II
would be difficult to point to a case that
has developed sporadically on our soil. It
occurs oftenest among the uncIean. lazy.

where 1t has appeared among other popula-
lions it has been carried by those people.

SWIMMING IN LONDON.
School Board Efforts to Teach the
Young Idea.

From the London Chronicle.
Though as a rule London boys and girls
do not learn to swim, and SO, as each re-
curing holiday season comes round, FUR
nish their quota to the boating and bathlng
casualties, this Is not altogether the fauit OF
the elementary schools. For just ten years
now the school board for London has done
as much as the education department VIII
permit 1t to do-and perhaps more-for the
instruction of children in swimming. IN
March 1892 the board, in response to cir
cular issued by the educational department
with regard to physical exercises, passed
a resolution which has since been mod1hed
from time to time. Roughly it lays down
that a fee, not exceeding penny chiid
a lesson, may be paid proprietors Tor a
number Of lessons, not exceeding twenty
wear. I'm the case Of each child attending
swimming class. This payment Is made
subject to proper instruction being pro
vided; to an entry Of the subject being
made on the time table; and, lastly, that II
shall only be made in the case of scholars
of standard Nv and upwards, of not less
than eleven years Of age.
A penny a lesson, Is Sd. a year. Is not q
large sum to pay to insure that cniioreh
may have a chance Of acquiring this very
the maximum number OF lessons allowed
to be given was thirty. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the board had taken ret
rograde step. But on the other hand, spe-
cial swimming instructors have been ap-
pointed and the teaching is no longer left,
as It was in the beginning. to those teach
ers and older scholars who could swim
themselves
The numerous parochial baths which have
been established under the baths and wash
houses act have made the task of the board
easier than it would otherwise have been,
for 1t was scarcely to be expected that prl-
yate establishments would welcome penny
customers Even the parochial baths nave
proved inadequate to supply the increasing
demand. and the board has. therefore. en-
parked on building operations of its own
Three baths, at Marlborough street, Al
bion square, Dalston and LYMAN road, have
been opened for use during the last two
years. while two others are projected. 1t
is possible, of course, that If the school
board disappears in accordance with the
government program, these latter schemes
will not reach fruition. Drawing all that Is

From the WORCESTER spy.
The fringed gentian is now In blossom

When the Americans Come.

when are you Americans coming down
here to take possession of the trader" asked
an Englishman, starting a conversation.
This is your territory, 1t belongs to you,
and we are only down here until you learn
enough to take the business from u.s.
Il don't know about that" said the pug
nacious German. I'VE will be selling here

colony Is TYPICAL Spain builds church.
England organizes a bank, France opens
cafe and Germany starts store What
are you Americans going to start, now that
you have colonies?"
'oh. department store containing the
whole business, Of course" said an AmerI-
can.

conditions. He succeeds by persistence
He Is cool and calm. without any of the
combativeneSs of his German Competitor
H, knows by experience that he can disarm
his competitor from Germany for the day
by getting him irritated, and he has discoy-
cred that he is irascible in argument and
that his temper lasts for the rest of the
day, making him irritable and injuring his
efficiency as salesman. SO the after
dinner argument is apt to last until the
German competitor is out of humor. The
German in trade Is encouraged by success

goods coming into her ports which were

a law was passed requiring that all goods
imported should bear a label showing in

The Old Legend.

According to the legend, which finds place
in the historical works concerning the coun-
try, there was an insurrection among the
original Indians, and Bartholomew Column
bus, brother of the discoverer, was sent to
put 1t down. The first days battle resulted
in victory for him, and, as was the GUS
tom, cross was erected on the battlefield.
The following day he was driven back by
the Indians and the cross was within their
lines. Both sides rested at night. When
the sun rose angel was seen seated on
the cross and the Indians tried in vain to
destroy it. Ropes of twisted vines were
tied to the cross and men were massed at
them to pull 1t down, without success. The
Indians fled terrified and the Spaniards
returning occupied the position and the in
surrection was ended The scibo tree from
which the cross was made is still pointed
out-and they live for four or five hun
dred years-but the cross was taken away,
no doubt as sacred relics of the victory.
An ancient church covers the spot, built
over the hole where the cross stood. Pill
grims visit the church from all parts Of the
island and are permitted to stand In the
hole with feet barred. Many remarkable
cures are told of the pilgrims who come
lame and halting and go away strong and
well. Vessels filled with sand from the
hole are sold charms. yet while the drain
is steady year after year the hole never
grows larger At the base of the mountain
ruins visible village destroyed by
landslide in the earthquake of 1914.

men, Spaniards. a Dominican who neglects
the siesta to engage in the discussion, and
a nondescript or two. The conversation
usually starts in English When excited
