"Weak Hearts,"

1t is a harmful thing for any one to
coddle his heart when there is no dis
ease, and think we Ohe medical pro-
fessiom are far too instrumental in
aiding and abetting this. We do far
more good by pronouncing people
sound, even if out of health, and thus
sending them forth with renewed hope,
than by keeping them in the chains of
uncertainty and nervous dread, than
which nothing can be more crushing
to the utility of a life or more harmful
to the chance of regaining health.
| know Of no symptoms of weak
heart" Yet the use of the term leads
either to state of nervous dread from
which recovery is most difficult or else
to a life Of luxurious idleness, which,
by the enervation it causes, is likely
sooner or later to be precedent to the
end it would seek to avOid.-Dr. James
Goodheart of London.

The increasing popularity of the ba-
mana in this country recalls a curious
reference to the fruit to be found in
an old volume entitled 1.-THE Glasse of
Time In the First Age" divinely han
died by Thomas Peyton Q620). In the
eighty-first stanza occurs the follow
ing:
A cucumber much like it is in shew,
OF pleasing taste and sweet delightful
hue;
If with a knife the fruit in two you reave,
A perfect cross you shall therein perceive.
In the Canary islands and in Brazil
it was regarded as an affront to the
Saviour to cut the banana with knife,
as it revealed the crucifx. But in or
der to see this clearly it is necessary
to cut the fruit when it first COM
mences>to ripen or, if ripe, Immediate

Mistakes Attract Attention.

The average person takes pleasure
IN calling attention to errors in spell
ing or grammar in signs. The mis-
takes furnish them a temptation to dis
play their knowledge that is hard to
resist. Every now and then" said 4
local haberdasher, Il fix up window
sign with a misspelled word or an er
ror III grammar in it, Dozens of people
drop in to tell me where it's wrong
Of course / act surprised and thank
them. Then the chances are | sell
them something" At Kansas City
theater there used to be an advertis-
ing curtain which bore the word ''ver-
sus' spelled verses The word at
tracted more comment than many of
the acts did 1t made people talk
about the theater, and in the theatrical
business to get the public to talking
about things is the first step toward
money making. So many people be
gan to bother the house manager about
the misspelled word, however, that he
finally had to have it changed.-Kan-

What the Teacher Must Do.

Knowledge is good, but wisdom is
better. The college valedictorian,
trained to take knowledge in rather
than to impart it,, may have much Of l.
with but little wisdom. He m:y be
able, as a teacher, to drill boys and
girls in Greek and Latin t.eclensions
and cram them with facts, useful or
valueless, but if he cannot produce in
them what Spencer calls ''pleasurablc
excitement" and interest he is fail
ure. His would be the sort of teach
ing that harpS upon obedience and dis
cipline and endeavors by force of rule
and rod to Oblige the pupil to study
and learn. The will cannot be forced,
but the real teacher knows we'll that it
can be led. He remembers the remark
of Rousseau that 1.-THE teachers Prov
ince is less to instruct than to guide;''
that che must not Icy down precepts,
but teach his pupils to discover them"
This was the way of that great teach
er, Agassiz, certainly.-Arthur Gilman
in Atlantic,

TRAGEDY OF THE BENNINGTON
Cause of 1t Was Neglect of Duty of
Two Men, Says Official Re-
port.

Washington, Aug 22.-The findings
and opinion of the court of inquiry,
which investigated the fatal explosion
on the gunboat Bennington have been
made public by Secretary Bonaparte.
The court expresses the opinion that
the explosion was caused by excessive
steam pressure in ''boiler b. result
ing from the closing the valve con-
Meeting the boiler with the steam
gauge. The court is also of the Opin-
ion that ID. n. Holland, a fireman on
duty. had made the mistake of shut
ting off the valve.
The court further finds that Ensign
Charles d. Wade, of the engineer de-
partment Of the ship, was at fault in
failing to see that the steam valves
and safety valve were overhauled at
the proper time and kept in good or
der, having accepted the verbal state
ments of subordinates that this had
been done in March. 1t is clear that
he was negligent in the performance
of his duty, and should be brought be-
fore a cOurt-martial. The report dis
poses Of the newspaper interviews and
insinuatiOnS that the boilers were de-
fective.

ASSEMBLY FOR
TIE RUSSIANS
The Gar at Last Has Issued His Long
Expected Manifesto to
the People.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 21.-The cZar
has issued his long-expected mani
festo, granting to the Russian people
dOuma, or national assembly, to
which 412 delegates from all the fifty
departments of Russia and the mill
tary province of the Don shall be
chosen. The principle of the auto
cracy is retained and the car sur
renders none of his prerogatives to
the people. The bureaucracy is not
abolished. Finland is not included in
the grant, the czar pledging himself
to take measures in the future.
The first national assembly is to
meet not later than the middle of Jan
uary, 1906. The term of the douma,
or national assembly, is to be FIVE
years, although the czar may dissolve
it and call a new election. The dou-
ma will sit as the lower house Of a
legislative body, the upper house be-
ing the present council of the empire.
After passing the douma bills will go
to the council, and, if there approved,
be sent to the car.
The powers of the dOuma are linn
tied when compared to those of the
parliaments of Germany or France,
but they are extensive when compared
with any rights ever granted to the
people Of Russia.
Warsaw, Russian Poland, Aug o.
A general strike has been proclaimed
throughout Poland as protest against
the disregard of the rights of the
Poles in the scheme for representation
in the national assembly. The strike
began here. Employees Of the Vistula
railway quit work and many trains
were left standing at intermediate sta
tons.
Eighty socialist carrying arms, while
attempting to enter the city, We're op-
posed by a detachment of Cossacks.
Eight of the socialists were killed and
the others escaped.

COrks For Bottle Shoppers.

The application OF cork as bottle
stopper for liquid vessels is said to be
of great antiquity. The earliest record
eXtant of it's use in Europe is that men
toned by Horace, who asserts that the
Romans had cork as shoppers for their
wine amphOrae. Certain of the uses
Of cork were known to the ancient
Greeks and Egyptians, but whether
they used cork for stopping the mouths
of their liquid vessels history does not
say. 1t was not, however, until the
year 1850 that the Spaniards first com
menced to work their cork woods with
some degree of regularity for the max
ing of corks Although perhaps corks
were more or less in use from the time
glass bottles were first invented, which
Beckmann asserts to have been in the
fifteenth century, yet it was not until
two and half centuries later that the
Spaniards began to prepare cork for
bottle shoppers, which they did in a
forest situated at the northeast Of the
Tigueras, on the Muge The cork in
dustry has since gradually risen to be
one of the first magnitude, its chief
center in Spain being in Catalonia.

A Touching Story

is the saving from death, of the baby
girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cumberland, Md.
He writes: AT the age of II months our
little girl was in declining health, with
serious Throat Trouble, and two physi-
clans gave her up. We were almost in
despair when We resolved to try DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds. The first bottle gave
relief; after taking four bottles she was
cured and is now in perfect health"

Viceroy CurzOn Resigns.

London, Aug. 21.-The resignation
of Lord CurZon of Kedleston as vice
roy of india and the appointment Of
the Earl Of Mimic as his successor is
announced at the India office. Accord
ing to the correspondence which is
issued in the form of a White book it
appears that Lord CurZon's resignation
was cabled to the office Aug. II. The
correspondence shows a decidedly bit
ter feeling between Lord Curzon, the
the India office and Lord Kitchener,
commander-in-ch of the forces in
India. over the new plan of army adj
miniStration in India.

Ra as.

A plan that will sometimes destroy
a large number of rats is to fill a
barrel partly full of water and cover it
with an inch or SO of meal A hole is
bored in the barrel a little above the
meal, and the rats enter, sink through
the meal and find a watery grave. In
catching rats in steel traps great care
is required to deceive the rodents.
Traps need to be we'll covered and ev-
erything done to avoid raising the sus-
picions of the "varmints." Often when
rats refuse to eat poisoned bread and
butter they may be baited with poison
ed crackers, cheese or meat. Rats are
shy and gamy creatures, but it is pos
sible to make game of them"
