DYING SUDDENLY.
Some of the Causes That Are TAX
ing People Off.
Inactivity and Lack of Proper Exer-
else Responsible for More
Deaths Than the Dread
ed Smallpox.

In almost every daily paper are to be
seen several announcements that
somebody 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 letters or preparing sermon
or doing something or other. Found
dead in, his room" is becoming a very
common headline. Generally some
thing is said about the heart. Some
vague insinuation that the heart was
not acting properly, but, as rule, no
explanation which is really rational is
furnished, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
They have become a serious matter
these sudden deaths have. What is
the trouble with our men-strenuous
business men-that they are falling
dead like flies in frosty weather? Is
1T the strenuous life they live? Is it
the late hours and midnight suppers
they are indulging in? Is it the Gig
arettes they are smoking? The whisky
they are drinking? Is it the want of
these combined?
1t is well-known fact that the heart
is muscle. If the muscles of the body
are allowed to become fabby, the heart
also becomes flabby. A fabby heart
may be trusted to pump the blood
through the system ordinarily, but
sudden fright or emergency, sudden
expenditure of energy, as in running
up steps, or any unusual exercise, is
liable to overpower the heart. 1t sud-
denly stops and the man falls dead.
Tobacco tends to produce 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 edit
orials, dictates letters, but takes no
muscular exercise is in danger of fall
ing dead. The life insurance man bet
ter steer clear of him. It is of vastly
more Importance to know what his
habits are with reference to physical
exercise than to know whether his
grandmother died of heart disease, or
his grandfather had rheumatism The
uoctor might great deal better inter-
view his wife and discover exactly how
the man behaves himself, than to exam
inc the blood for microbes or the urine
for urate crystals.
If a man must be strenuous, let him
be strenuous all around. He. should take,
little strenuous physical exercise
every day, as well as strenuous mental
work. 1t is even dangerous to neglect
to take daily physical exercise. Fatty
degeneration is killing more men to-
day than smallpox. With all the hula
baloo about pest-houses and vaccina-
tion quarantine and medical boards,
our country is not in half as much dam
ger from the ravages of smallpox as it
is from the deteriorating disintegrat-
ing influence of physical laziness.

Taking life too seriously is said to
be an especially American failing.
This may be true, but judging from
appearances, it would seem to be
worldwide, for, go where one may,
he will find the proportion of serious,
not to say, anxious, faces, ten to one
as compared with the merry or happy
ones. If ''the outer is always the
form and shadow of the inner" and
if ''the present is the fullness of the
past, and the herald of the future p
(and how can we doubt it?) how
many sad histories can be read in the
faces of those we meet every day.
The pity of it is, too, that the sad
ness is a self-woven garment, even
as is the joy with which it might be
replaced. Ruskin says: Girls should
be sunbeams, not only to members of
their own circle, but to everybody
with whom they come in contact.
Every 1oom they enter should be
bright, for their presence. Why
Shouldn't all of us be sunbeams, boys
as wen as girls, all along over the

years. and oyer?- Success

PEACE FORT MONUMENT.
Marks the Spot on Rock Island
Where Treaty Was Made with
Sac and Fox Indians.

At the lower end of Rock Island,
in the Mississippi, was built, in 1916,
a fort which was named after Gen.
Armstrong, then secretary of war.
The encroachments of the Indians,
and the need for rallying place for
the white settlers on the banks of the
Mississippi, made the fort neces-
sity. 1t was built of hewn logs, and
was strong enough to resist any at
tempt of the Indians to capture it.
Happily, there never arose an occa-
sion to use the fort for warlike pur-
poses, and it became but trading
post, says George H. Daniels Four
Track News.
There was signed here, in 1881, the
treaty by which the Sac and Fox In
dians agreed to remove to the Iowa
side of the river, and leave the vii
lage on the banks of Rock river,
which they had occupied so long. The
fort was 400 feet square, and having
access to water, and carrying a large
supply of food, was equipped for a
long siege.
There now remains nothing of it.
Two cannon pointing down the river
have been the only things to mark
the spot where it stood till two
years ago, when the Daughters of
the American Revolution erected a
monument there.

MAINE BEARS RAMPANT.
Removal of Bounty on Dead Animals
Results in Too Many
Live Ones.

The Maine legislature at it's present
session will be called upon to decide
which is the most important, the life
of human being, or that of bear
The Legislature four years ago, accord
ing TO a Bangor special to the New
York Tribune, repealed the law pro-
viding for the payment of a bounty of
five dollars each on bears, because it
had been represented that the game
was becoming scarce, and that when
it came to fun and excitement any
sportsman would rather kill one bear
than dozen deer.
Since the bounty was removed bears
have been rapidly increasing, so that
people living in remote regions have
begun to circulate petitions for the
restoration of the bounty. In sections
where bears abound sheep-raising has
been abandoned by many farmers. The
bears eat up the f1ocks, and it is mat
ter of record that a yoke of two-year-
old steers were recently killed and
eaten by bears in the town of Wesley.
In the town of Byron, it is said, last
fall ~ sheep were thus destroyed.
ASome women and children are afraid
to- go into the back lots to pick ber-
ries. Bruin is also hated by orchard
lists, because he not only steals all the
sweet apples, but breaks off limbs as
large around as a mans arm. The
country people feel that they ought
9bt to suffer this simply in order that
plenty of bears. may be raised to fur
nish sport for visiting sportsmen. They
are asking the Legislature, accordingly,
to restore the bounty.

THE NEW TOMATO TREE.
Singular Specimen That Has Been
PrOpagated from the Vines
Bears Fruit.

If one would be considered quite
sane one should not discuss the tree
tomato even yet. Otherwise one is
likely to be reasoned with gently,
and informed that tomatoes grow on
vines instead of trees, says the Phil
adelphia Record
All this to the contrary notwith-
standing, there really is tree toma-
to- Such tree is grown by Mrs. Shep-
herd, at Ventura, Cal. She has
grown it several years, and feels that
it has a great future as a fruit for
shipping. 1t comes into bearing along
during the holidays, when fruits are
scarce, and ships long distances per-
fectly. Some say it is practically
hardy in California. This tree, how
ever, grows under glass.
AS to the fruit, there seems to be
no understanding. Some call this rich,
tomato-tinted production fruit; 9TH
ers tomato, which is equivalent to a
vegetable. AS to flavors, it is said
to be cross between the tomato and
the plum, and is equally delicious As,
a salad or dessert. Experts think
the day is not far off when it will be
extensively grown. One good speci-
men, and about the easiest to get at
here in the east, is the one in the
Bronx botanical collection in New
York. For some time past this tree
has hung full of these rosy, plum
shaped fruits, or vegetables, which
hang singly or in clusters of two or
three or four.

Prof. Looss, accidentally injecting hir.

why There Are white Feathers.

No white pigments have been found
in feathers, and the whiteness of white
feathers is ascribed to total reflection
of light from their exposed surfaces.
Some have supposed the reflection to
be from air spaces, or bubbles. in the
feather structure, but r. M. Strong, of
Haverford college, says that the white
effect is mainly dependent, as in the
case of snow or powdered glass, upon
the small size of the structural ele-
ments. These have a large number of
surfaces so placed for any position of
the eye that there is maximum re-
Election to the eye, and almost no alb
