A Broken Heart.

1t appears that it is quite possible
for the heart to break. People who die
of broken hearts. so called, do not ac-
tually succumb from disruption of the
structural arrangements. In this re-
gard the phrase is misnomer. 1t Is
generally applied to people who die
| owing to intense mental suffering, from
blighted affections or the loss of
friends. Thackeray has said that no
man ever dies of "broken heart'' in
his love affairs, and it is very certain
that in this respect the term has no
actual meaning. The heart, however,
does physically break, either from sud-
den shock or from overstrain.
A captain on vessel who had set
out to marry lady, on reaching his
destination was abruptly informed that
she had married, and the man fell to
the ground and expired. The heart was
discovered to be literally rent into two
pieces. Again, an instance is on record
of boy, very strong and healthy, who,
in attempting to raise sheaf Of corn,
fell dead in the effort. In this instance
the postmortem disclosed a large rent
in the heart. The sudden propulsion
of blood upon the left ventricle, which
is the hardest worked portion of the
heart and where the rupture generally
takes place, forces the tissues asunder.

A Hundred Years from NOW.

When look ahead shows you nothing but
the thickest sort of gloom,
When you're worried to the center Of
your soul,
When your plans have all miscarried and
proved castles in the air,
And you've nothing in your pocket but a
hole,
Then's the time to reason thuswise:
Whats the use to make row?
Who can tell bit of diff renee in hum
dred years from now?'
When the pathway stretching endwise to-
w'rd lifes slowly setting sun
Shows the lions with their chains all
hid from view,
When it seems there's nothing DOING in
the providential line,
And when everything Except the sky)
looks blue.
Then is not the time to falter or turn back
ward from the plow;
VIII 1t make bit of difference in a hum
dred years from now?
Yet there's one thing will make difference
ten long decades further on;
It's the way you bear your troubles day
by day;
If you keep your top lip stiffened and a.
smile upon your face
AS you stride toward the lions in the way,
Then the worried world will carry fewer
wrinkles on its brow.
And twill really make some difference in
hundred years from now.

Shocked His Mother.

A small brown hen whose maternal
instincts were remarkable one day
hatched goose's egg and became the
mother Of what eventually proved to be
an abnormally large gander. The little
hen was immensely proud of him and
paraded him about before her neigh
bors with brOods Of chickens with the
air of a mother who had gone one bet
ter than any of them. Every night she
conducted the gander to the corner of
the barn where her nest had been, and,
hopping on his back, she would spread
her wings over as much of him as she
could cover brooding over him as in
his gosling days.
| One evening the gander was given
some sponge cake soaked in sherry,
and. strange to say, he became so dis
gracefully intoxicated that when his
little brown mother came to take him
to bed he waddled unsteadily beside
her, his wings hanging at his sides as
he made feeble pecks at her. uttering
maudlin sort of cackle. This seemed to
be more than the little hen could stand.
She walked with her inebriated son to
the barn, then left him, and he went
to the henroost, and from that night
she never took the faintest notice of

said young man excitedly yesterday
to the proprietor of a prominent tailor
Ing house.
"That can't be-" asserted the tailor
mildly.
"Oh, but it's So" exclaimed the youth
In furry. Look here! Ten dollars
too much charged on this BILL"

his books. You're right. Mr.. Blank"
he admitted. "I'll take $40 off, and
how much did you say you wanted to
pay on account"
The young man hesitated, grew red,
coughed and finally produced a five
dollar note.
''That works every time," confided
the tailor to an interested bystander
after the customer had departed. "Noth-
ing brings man here in such hurry
as to overcharge him on his bill. When

on these excursions you will see him
turn down dirty little street and enter
dirty little house, followed by a
swarm of children. Then you will hear
muttied sounds of a piano organ, mixed
with shrill voices and laughter, and
