THE AMERICAN HEART.
Failure of the Organ Is One of the
Most Common Causes of
Death.

We have heard much about the
American stomach and the American
nerves, but we are just awakening to
a discovery that there is being rapidly
developed a form of heart disease,
which, if not peculiar to America, may
at least be said to be more prevalent
In this country than in any other part
of the world, says Good Health. The
heart-weakness resulting from the use
of tobacco and alcohol and from a
sedentary life on one hand, and eX-
tremely violent exertion on the other
hand, is no longer a rare condition,
but has come to be one of the most
common affections with which the
physician has to deal. A large pro-
portion of the men rejected in the
army examinations are refused on ac-
count of heart weakness. A large pro-
portion of the public men who die
suddenly die as result of the failure
of the heart. The same might he said
also of many of the cases in which the
cause of death is reported to be pneu-
monia, typhoid fever, and other af-
fections in which special strain is
brought to bear upon the heart, and in
which the failure of the organ to meet
the emergency is one of the most COM
mon causes of death. The cigar, the
cigarette, and the pipe are probably
the most common causes of this grow
ing frequency of cardiac affections;
but the neglect of physical exercise,
overeating, the use of tea and coffee,
and excuses of all sorts are also to a
large degree responsible for the rapid
increase of this grave malady.

FOUND IN THE OCEAN.
Remains of Prehistoric Animals, Sub
merged Forests and Much
Land Refuse.

Along the British coast Of Cornwall
at low tide, wide areas of peat are ex-
posed, in which are found, partly car
bombed, the remains of a submerged
forest and swamp. Trunks of oak trees
and acorns are dug up, mingled with
bones and horns of deer and the re-
mains of the great prehistoric elk; and
with them are found relics of a later
date in ancient British weapons and
Roman coins and implements, says a
scientific exchange. Here is coal bed
in process of formation, of consolidation
and carbonization. The basin of the
ocean is a general dumping place for
the rivers of the land, hence in some
regions vast quantities of terrestrial
vegetation are found, by dredging, to be
strewn over the sea bottom, even to the
depths of 200 fathoms and at distances
of several miles from land In dredging
in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans Agas-
siZ found much vegetable matter, such
as logs, branches, twigs, seeds, leaves
and fruits. In the peat beds we have
mentioned, into which probably ran
some of the ancient rivers of Cornwall
considerable stream tin is sometimes
found, and instances are on record of
the horns of deer having been found
replaced by tin ore.

Seasonal bic Gowns for Autumn

ripple is perhaps newer for outing wear
than the plated skirt and strapping and
stitching are used in an endless variety
of ways. Shaded stitching, or stitching
in several colors upon one tone material,
is susceptible of clever handling, and
this same stitching is put upon plain
cloth bands, to be applied to mixed ma
terials.
1t is safe to say there will be decided
preference for velvet in late fall and
early winter models. The manufacture
ers of these materials have outdone all
previous efforts in giving us something
attractive both in variety and colorings
of the fancy velvets. PanRe is the most
prominent, but astonishing things are
done with the once plain panne. On
ground of black panne are sprinkled
large dots the size Of a five-cent piece,
the dots being in white with long silky
nap that suggests fur. Another pattern
shows white figures upon black panne,
but this time the figure looks like a
medallion of heavy white silk net ap-
plique. Odd MORE panne is another nov.

worked out in velvet and plush, astra-
khan, baby lamb and carmine being the
favorite models. (
The Powered, striped and dotted vel
vets are wonderful in color and quality,
as are the plain velvets, many of which
are so soft that they may be draped al
most as easily as crepe or fine cloth. In
the red-blue or blue-red shades, which
dominate the autumn color scheme, vel
vet is particularly lovely.
But let US get back to our illustrations.
One of them is of a simple dress for coun-
try wear made with trotteuse skirt.
The material is dark cloth or fine serge,
and it is trimmed simply but sufficiently
with Roumanian embroidery, the bright
colors of which are relief to the plainness
of the gown. The hat is soft shape in
straw trimmed with a cluster of roses
and a bow and ends of velvet, for which
the deep red of the embroidery can be
chosen or the same color as the cloth if
preferred.
The other is one of those useful little
evening dresses which can be worn at an
at-home, or small dance, or for the the
alter. The material is black crepe de
chine gagged and corded, and trimmed
with an insertion of white lace.

the water. These wise ones have insist
ed that the bolero was thing of the past.
and in support of their conclusions, they
point to the increasing vogue Of the
close-ftting half-length coat, the short
coat with basques, the revived REFER,
ETC., but, on the other hand, many of the
most chic among the new models shows
boleros, and one is forced to conclude
that the end is not yet, although the
bolero is never so much worn in autumn
as in spring and summer.
Waistcoats are, by the way, effective
details in the autumn tailor suits, and,
while separate waistcoat is unusual, a
simulated waistcoat or waistcoat line
in contrasting color, relieves many of
the wool suits. White, powder blue,
suede gray, bright red, hunters green
and the light brown shades in cloth are
used with excellent results upon the
mixed tweeds, homespuns, cheviots, ETC.,
which, as rule, combine many colors,

less dresses may be worn for restaurant
dining, but they are generally accom-
panied by wide strings to the hat, or
tulle, chiffon, or feather stole.
Theskirts of the demi-toilettes, and in
deed, Of the afternoon fete frocks as
well, seem to be longer than ever. A
charming example in mousseline de sole
had great number of little frills from
the knees downward, of Valenciennes,
banded with white Liberty satin. The
large sleeves were frilled to match the
skirt, but the bodice fitted the figure
somewhat closely, relieved only by
small zouave of English embroidery and
Valenciennes lace. A large white crino-
line hat, with one of the new ''jampot"
crowns and three lovely white feathers,
completed this striking looking toilette
Spangles for evening wear are coming
into fashion with silver embroideries of
all kinds. 1 have seen such wonderful
dress for a debutante, made entirely of
pale gray tulle spangled all over with
silver. There is wonderful cloak to go
with it, of gray oriental satin, lined with
mink, with high collar faced in with
Mechlin lace, and fischu of the same
coming down almost as far as the knees,
caught up at either side with priceless
old paste clasps. This toilette formed
part of a trousseau, and the Mechlin lace
and clasps were the wedding gift of the
brides grandmother. Nowadays peo-
pie give really sensible presents-furs,
laces, and useful ornaments, not to speak
of household goods in the way of furni-
ture and old silver.

return to the old round umbrella"
skirts. These should be worn with tiny
pads at the back to give roundness to
the waist. The tendency is still to short
en- the waist at the back and to lengthen
it in front, as is seen by the prominence
of the 1S30>corsets. This fullness in the
back is almost universally becoming.

NEATNESS OF ANIMALS.
Some Instances of Refinement Which
Smack Somewhat of the
Improbable.

M. Henri Coupin, well-known
French naturalist, draws attention to
the fact that animals as a rule are
beings in this respect. 1t has taken
men, he says, several centuries to
learn the virtues of neatness and
cleanliness, whereas animals have ap-
parently always possessed them. At
any rate, they were certainly the first
to use soap, sponges and tooth brushes.
From time immemorial," he con-
tinues, animals have cleansed them
selves. using their tongues as brushes,
their saliva as soap, their tails as tow
els and busters and their claws as
combs. Moreover, many of them take
a cold bath whenever they have an op-
portunity; indeed, the apes go as far
as to boycott those among them who
do not take proper care OF their bodies.
Another singular fact about the
apes is that those among them who
have handsome boards never plunge
them recklessly into a river or pond.

ly spends some seconds in brushing its

Girli.h and Mannish America.

When it is here remarked that the
male American is declaring symptoms
of dawning effeminacy 10 occasion is
offered for indignant reprobation. The
average American has so much thor
ough masculinity that he can spare
enough to dover less vigorous peo-
pie What is meant is that the natural
reaction to the paramountcy of the
American girl has set in. AS she shares
the pursuits, the pleasures and the liber-
ties of her brothers and imposes her
commands upon them she becomes more
masculine, they more feminine; her
shoulders square off; theirs begin to
slope. She dons the sweater and blazer
and wears her skirts shorter and

This is a very common sight and is
almost always due to pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for SO many
women to suffer year after year with
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chronic cases as wella aslight

length of time that it should be taken to

GRATEFUL, HAPPY WOMEN

Organizer of the Royal Templars of
Temperance, in arecent letter, says:

shrinks from making her troubles
public, butrestored health has meant
so much to me that 1 feel for the sake
of other suffering women it is my
duty to tell what Peruna has done
for me.
81 suffered for five years with
uterine irregularities, which brought
on hysteria and made me a physical
wreck. l tried doctors from the diff
ferent schools of medicine, but with
out any perceptible change in my
condition. In my despair called on
an old nurse, who advised me to try
Peruna, and promised good resultsif
Iwould persist and take itregularly.
l thought this was the least could
do and procured a bottle. knew as
soon as began taking it that it was
affecting me differently from any
thing had used before, and so kept
on taking it. 1 kept this up for six
months, and steadily gained strength
and health, and when I had used
fifteen bottles considered myself
entirely cured. I am a grateful,
happy woman to-day."-Miss Muriel

Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic
organs with the same surety as it
cures catarrh of the head. Peruna
has become renowned as a positive
cure for female ailments simply be-
cause the ailments are mostly due
to catarrh, Catarrh is the cause Of
the trouble. Peruna cures the ca.
tarrh. The symptoms disappear.

NAVIGATING STALLION.
Equine Beauty That Was Possessed

he reared on his hind legs and came

a man seemed puny antagonist indeed.

He had served two men SO already;
nothing but his matchless beauty saved
his life.
Nowhere could one find better ex-
ample of hell-beautiful than when he
tore around his corral, in tantrum, as
1.-the and graceful as black panther.
His name stood on end; his eyes and
looked to be bursting through the silk
en- gloom of his coat. His swiftness
was something incredible. He caught
and horribly killed Jim Bakers hound
before it could get out of the corral
and bear hound is pretty agile ami

We fed and watered Geronimo with
pitchfork, and in terror then, for his
slyness and cunning were on a par
with his other pleasant peculiarities,
says writer in McClure's. One of
the poor devils he killed entered the
stable all upsuspecting. Geronimo had
broken his chain and stood close
against the wall of his stall in the
darkness, waiting. The man came
within reach. Suddenly black mass
of flesh flashed in the air above him,
coming down with all four hcofs and

that one can do just now is to pick up
the tiny threads that drop by the way

then it is straws that point the way the
wind is blowing. One of these straws
point to the temperance of basques
for autumn tailor-mades. In fact, they
have already reappeared, and the tail
ors are even now manipulating them,
usually in conjunction with the little
shoulder capes. A triple basque and a
triple cape, both of the smallest dimen-
sions, form an excellent finish to a
tweed travelling costume.
But the return of the basque does not
mean the entire disappearance of the
