A Painting Room.

One of the latest ideas in New

tire if they feel faint and go of in a
swoon, amid the most artistic and
beautiful surroundings. Several
restaurants and teashops have adopt
ed this idea, and members of the fair
sex whose nerve force is run down
can find in the fainting-room a
soothing resting place. The room is
partially darkened and the prevail
ing color green, whilst it is literally
decorated with various sweet-smell.

chairs are provided for the "faint-

premises should her services be re.

lt In Usually the Result of Long Nsg-
lect to Exercise.
In almost every daily paper are to be
seen several announcements that some
body has died suddenly These sudden
deaths are more liable to be men than
women. Mr. So-and-so fell dead on the
street or in his office while writing let
tiers or preparing sermon or doing
something or other. Found Dead In
His Room" is becoming very COM
mon headline. These deaths are hard
ly ever accounted for. Generally some
thing is said about the heart - some
vague lnsinuaion that the heart was
not acting in a proper manner-but, as
rule, no explanation which is really
rational is furnished.
1t is a we'll known fact that the heart
Is a muscle If the muscles of the body
are allowed to become f1abby, the heart
also becomes fiabby. A fabby heart
may be trusted to pump the blood
through the system ordinarily. but a
sudden fright or emergency, a sudden
expenditure Of energy, as in running
up steps or any other unusual exercise,
is liable to overpower the heart. 1t
suddenly stops, and the man falls dead.
Tobacco tends to produce a fiabby
heart; whisky tends to produce en-
largement of the heart; lazy, indolent
habits weaken the heart and thin the
ventricles. That man who indites edi-
torials, dictates letters, but takes 20
muscular exercise. is in danger of fall
ing dead. The life insurance man bet
ter steer clear of him. 1t is of vastly
more Importance to know what his hab-
it's are with reference to physical eXer-
else than to know whether his grand
mother died of heart disease or his
grandfather had rheumatism. The doc
tor might great deal better interview
his wife and discover how the man be-
HAYES himself than to examine the
blood for microbes or the urine for
urate crystals.
If man must be strenuous, let him
be strenuous all round. He should take
a little strenuous physical exercise ev
cry day as well as strenuous mental
work. 1t is even dangerous to neglect
to take daily physical exercise. Fatty
degeneration is killing more men today
than is smallpox.-Medical>T Talk.

DEVASTATION AND DEATH.

The terrible conditions by reason
of floods prevailing throughout
Kansas, and portions of Iowa, Mis-.
souri, and Nebraska, in their harrow
ing details, are heartrending. In
cessant rains for two weeks have
swollen the rivers and lesser streams
until they are veritable torrents
sweeping the valleys, devastating
cities and villages and converting
fruitful ields and farms into lakes
and sloughs. All records have
been broken Hundreds have been
drowned and thousands rendered
homeless. North Topeka, Kas., a
suburb of Topeka, with it's 1000 in
habitants has been rendered abso-
lutely uninhabitable, and to add TO
the horrors, fire swept above the
surface of the waters and floating
houses in flames left the awful alter
native to hundreds of death by
flame or by flood. Fully one thous-
and persons have persisted in that
city and closely adjacent territory.
At Kansas City and it's suburbs
there has been vast destruction of
property, reaching into the mil
lions, but the loss of life is not
great. Southern and centeral Iowa
-Ottumwa, Des Moines, and other
prosperous towns are inundated and
the loss of life is considerable,
while property of all sorts beyond
estimate has been destroyed.
1t is impossible to convey even a
faint impression of the awful calam-
ity by words-the imagination can
scarcely do it justice even though
full play be given it.
This naturally appeals to the
people in localities not affected to
make SOME sacrifices to help amel-
iorate the sufferlngs of the unfor-
tunates. Even the affiuent have
been brought to poverty and the
poor have no alternative but to de-
pend upon charity for bread. The
burden is too great for the immedi-
ate neighborhoods in which the
overwhelming catastrophes have oc-
cured, and governors of states and
mayors of cities have issued calls
for contributions. AS in all cases
of Tho 5rt money is the most vaiu-
able commodity. Contributions left
with any Of the banks of this city
will be transmitted to places most
in need.

POPULAR ENTHUSIASM,
without IL General Road Improve
ment Cannot he Secured, Says
Col. j. n. brigham.

Col. j. II. Brigham, assistant secre-
sary of agriculture at Washington, is
not only giant in size, but he is a
big man in practical common sense.
In a recent speech at good roads
convention he said some things that
everybody ought to read. Among
other good things he said:
Il see no reason why the general
government should not appropriate a
In this great work OF course the
states. counties and local communities
should be expected to cooperate. A
little aid from the general government
would be a wonderful announcement
to all the people.
81 hear a number of speakers here
saying that we must stir up congress.
Now | want to Impress you with the
idea that we must first educate the
people When the people are in favor
OF national aid in building good roads,
congressman will be in favor OF 1t,
and not until then. They are not go
ing ahead OF the people.
movements gets started. It acquires
wonderful momentum. heard a
story OF two farmers who stood be-
side a railroad for the first time. On
the track stood an engine with a long
train of heavy cars. Said one farmer
to the other: Jim. she'll never be
able to start II. It isn't possible
Finally the steam was turned on and,
with much putting. creaking and
groaning. the great train began to
move very slowly, then faster and
faster, until finally with whirl of
dust and roar like thunder, It swung
out of sight around a distant curve.
Then the farmer, drawing a long
breath remarked: Jim. by the Eter-
nal, they'll never be able to stop it.
So will 1t be with the good roads
movement. Once let II get thorough
ly started and nothing will be able to
stop II. or stand before It, till its
great work is done.
81 see no reason why the general
government should not reach out its
strong arm and help the people of
this country get better means of COM
munication. I want to see this move
ment pushed with all the energy that
Is characteristic of the American peo-
pie. When We undertake to do any
thing in this country we do It, and do
1t well. We have started out for bet
ter roads, and we are going forward
on this line till we have as good roads
as can be found anywhere in the
world"
In these remarks Col. Brigham has
sounded the keynote Of the good roads
campaign. The masses of the people
must be aroused and educated Or
ganization Is the principal means to
be employed. Conventions should be
held, and associations should be or
ganized in all sections of the country
1t is not enough to get out crowd
of professional road reformers to
make speeches and pass resolutions.
The object in view Is to interest prac-
tical and progressive men in all walks
of life, to arouse the indifferent, to
convince the objectors. and to get up
a wave Of popular enthusiasm for bet
ter roads. Until this is done no i'm
portant results will be accomplished.
