Heart
Like eaClock

The pulsation of the heart
marks the passage of the blood
through the veins, just as the
ticking of a clock indicates the
flight of moments of time.
Palpitation, fluttering or irreg-
ular action reveals the fact that
the heart is running down.
and unless strengthened, is
liable to stop at any time I'M
der some weakening influence,
such as excitement, over-work,
or intense mental or physical
strain. To regulate the heart
action, you should take
DR.. Miles Heart Cure when
any symptoms of a weak heart
is apparent. 1t has no equal.
Sometime ago I had very severe

SAVED FROM GASOLINE FIRE
Woman's Wit Prevents Serious Mishar
on East Thirty-seVenth
Street

Mrs. S. J. Rosenthal of 1886 East
Thirty-seventh street narrowly escaped
serious injury last evening by the eX-
plosion of gasoline stove. Only the
woman's quick act saved her.
A can of oil standing near the stove
became ignited. The woman saw the
flash and dropped to the floor, thus
escaping the flames.
The fire department extinguished the
flames with practically no damage.

 "Indeed?" said the manufacturers That is most interesting. What Is your invention?"
 ''This is a combination lawn mower and snow shovel. By simply twisting this knob to the left the grass cutting mechanism is turned into a set of pad dles that literally sweeps the snow to both sides of the path You see, by combining both implements in one, to- gether with perfect ease of operation and great saving of space and strength, and--'
 I'm sorry" interrupted the manu- facturer, but it will never do. Don't you see, by the end of summer the av- craze man is so tired and angry with his lawn mower that he halls the snow shovel with joy, and by the end of the winter he feels just as bitter toward the snow shovel, and is once more delighted to push the lawn mower. But If you combine the two. then he will simply have the memory of one ever before him while he Is operating the other"
 Realizing the truth of the statement the inventor took up his model and went out, saying that perhaps he could twist the thing around and convert 1t into a mop p-holder and dress litter for women, as they would buy anything.

With the slave Traders of To-day.

H. w. Nevinson in Harper's Magazine
 The day after leaving Benguela we stopped off Novo Redondo to take on more cargo. The slaves came off in two batches-ffty in the morning and thirty more toward sunset. There was bit of a sea on that day, and the toss ing of the lighter had made most of the slaves very sick. Things become worse when the lighter lay rising and falling with the waves at the foot of the gangway, and the slaves had to be dragged up to the platform one by one like sacks. and set to climb the ladder as best they could. l remem- Der especially one poor woman who held in her arms baby only two or three days old. Quickly as native wo- men recover from childbirth, she had hardly recovered, and was very sea sick besides. In trying to reach the platform she kept on missing the rise of the wave and was flung violently hack again into the lighter At last the men managed to haul her up and set her on the foot of the ladder, strik- ing her sharply to make her mount Tightening the cloth that held the ba- by to her back, and gathering up her dripping blanket over one arm, she be- gan the ascent on all fours. Almost at once her knees caught in the blanket and she fell fat against the sloping stairs. In that position she wriggled lp them like snake. clutching at each stair with her arms above her head. At last she reached the top, bruised and bleeding, soaked with water, her blankets lost, most of her gaudy cloth ing torn off or hanging in strips. on her back the little baby, still crumpled and almost pink, squeaked feebly like a blind kitten. But swinging 1t round to her breast. the woman walked mod estly and without complaint to her place in the row with the others.
 I have heard many terrible sounds
 but never anything so hellish as the outbursts of laughter with which the ladies and gentlemen of the first class
 watched the slave woman's struggle
 up to the deck.

out fanwise and was disseminated over many miles.
 At Cape Hatteras the current of the Gulf Stream was sometimes noticeable but just as frequently masters of coast wise vessels observed currents running to the southwest, while sometimes the current of the Gulf Stream running northwest are apparent. This was due he said TO the course of the wind, which tended to make currents. The currents varied greatly at times, de- pending on the strength, direction and ronfinuilty of the wind, but the Gulf Stream itself maintains its natural course and never, considering 1t by years, changed it's way.

Rai.InE Fur Bearing Animals.

Country Life in America.
 The rapid disappearance of wild fur
 bearers, combined with the steady de-
 mand and even risi- prices commend
 ed by good furs, has led many to look
 for means of artificially supplying the
 want.
 It is years since the idea of breeding for fur was brought forward, but never were the times so ripe as now.
 This kind of farming offers two dis tinet fields First. the production of a new variety of those already domesti- cated and easily multiplied animals
 as cat, dog, goat, rabbit or cow-with
 coat of such quality as to have new value as fur. The second is the breed ing, under protection, of certain wild animals whose fur has already an es- tablished market value. In this class are beaver, mink, otter, skunk, marten' fisher and fox.
 There are two ways of dealing with l those; we may call them wholesale and retail. The first is the distinctive choice of the beginner. He usually plans to get possession of an island, mountain valley, or at least couple or hundred acres of wild land with high fence around 1t. This he expects to stock with fur bearers that will in- crease speedily to thousands, after which he has nothing else to do but shovel in a few tons of offal weekly and draw off a few thousand of the cho cest belts ach fall. That Is what 1 call the wholesale method. It has never yet succeeded with red foxes, nor, indeed, with any creature that l know of, except perhaps to some extent, with the blue fox on the islands of Alaska. Success in breeding any domestic anil nal turns on personal care that can be directed and adapted to each individual l if need be; and, likewise, the man who
 would begin fur larming is better of with five acres than with five hundred. This indivudal method is what l call
 the retail plan. It has been proven
 success many times.
 | Fur farming offers a good chance for small capital. A man of experience may put in $1, 1000 and get remarkable lpercentage z soon as well started.
 There is no object in breeding cheap | furs. A muskrat with his 15-cent pelt
 is almost as much trouble to raise as $500 silver fox; therefore, only the high
 class furs will be considered? What | is the most valuable fur of all? No
 doubt the sea otter. Its ample and magnificent robe brings now, am told, | from $500 to $1,00O, but the animal is so rare that a large fortune' would be | exhausted in getting the stock, and nothing is known of the methods neces- sary for it's propagation.
 Next on the list is the silver fox.
 The black or silver fox is nothing but
 A black phase or freak of the common | fox, just as the black sheep is color
 freak of the common sheep. A pair | of pure red foxes may have black fox in the litter, and that black fox may grow up to be the parent of nothing | but red foxes but red fox will bring l only a dollar or two and the silver fox | a hundred times as much. :..

tire tonnage in the Pacfic waters. This
 needs no argument to show that the transport service could not be procured
 in fifteen days. It is doubtful wheth-
 CT it can be procured at all. except
 by impressment in a period of six months or more."
 The report frankly criticizes the Santiago expedition of 1898. Every American vessel that could be obtained in the Atlantic ports during the twen- ty days following the declaration of
 war was chartered--a fleet of thirty six vessels averaging 2,5o0 tons. only two of them over 4.000 tons. The official records afford ample
 evidence that the safe arrival was due to good fortune of continued fine weather" It says.
 "A severe storm encountered would
 have scattered the fleet, probably with great damage, and would have defeat
 ed the object of the expedition. There is nothing except the safe arrival to justify its departure"
 Looking to the future the report de-
 clares:
 This condition cannot improve un- til the American steam. sea going, mer-
 chant marine has increased in tonnage to approximately two and one-half times its present volume by the addi- ton of ships adapated in size and de- sign to quick conversion into suitable transports and built under conditions which make their voluntary surrender

So far as concerns the interests of military transports any subvention. subsidy or other assistance rendered by the United States to the American merchant marine will pro- duce the greatest return for the money expended if the legislation is so framed
 as to require or strongly encourage the construction of ships of the two sizes
 and with the proportions and arrange
 ments described in this report"
 This report will be presented to the Senate tomorrow by Senator Gallinger.
 who will inform the war department
 that ships of the size and speed de-
 scribed as most desirable for trans
 ports are also ships of the size and
 speed required for several of the most
 important mail lines provided for in the bill of the merchant marine com mission, which stipulates that ships re- ceiving subventjons from the govern
 ment shall be held at the disposal of
 the government in time of war.

 Government Scientist.
 Washington.-The scientists or the Government who have made a study or the ocean. laugh at the idea that the course of the stream is changing Tn the slightest degree. James rage chief of the division of ocean meteor ology in the naval hydrograpric afiice, said this evening that statements that the Gulf Stream had changed it's course came into Washington frequently. lie said that the stream has extensive va riations. but that its real course never changes.
 Mir. Page said that the gulf stream is popularly and erroneously regarded as a river flowing along in the midst of the ocean. This, he said, was par tilly true AS 1t came through the Straits of Florida it did have the na- ture of a huge river of warm water earring a strong current, but this con dition existed only about as far north as Savannah, where inc stream spread

Roses in the snow.

Country LIfo ln America.
 It seems almost impossible that there should be a plant that flowers natural ly outdoors in the depth of winter But it is a fact. The Christmas rose answers this description. From the end of October until February its white flowers (about three inches across), , may be gathered at almost any time and even when the ground Is covered with snow the Christmas rose is pro- duclng its flowers We don't often see them in December and January, be- cause we never think of brushing off the snow to look al the plant that is growing underneath. The flowers are of a dazzling whiteness when young, but become faintly tinged with pink after about a week.

CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATS
Russian Party Holds Congress at
HelsinufOrs.

Helsingfors, Oct. THE Congress of
the Constitutional Democrats assembled
here this afternoon. There were pres
ent III delegates, representing 49 prov
inces and four territories. Prince Paul
Dolgoroukoff was elected president,
while M. Chisniakoff and Prince Shak-
hovski were made vice-presidents.
The most sensational feature of the
days sessions was an impassioned
speech by Ivan Peteunkevitch, in which
he eulogized Deputy Hertzenstein, who
was murdered in Finland last July by
members of the Black Hundred. He
declared Hertzenstein's blood stained
the souls of the opponents of the COM
pulsory exprop ration Of land, and that
his monument was found in the graft
tude of the Russian peasantry.
The committee report regarding the
viborg manifesto, as previously pre-
dicted in these dispatches, contained a
formal approval of the document and
the principle of passive resistance, but
recognized the inexpediency of applying
either at the present time,
The congress began the work OF pre-
pairing electoral platform, and then
adjourned until Monday.

MUST PAY.LossEs IN FULL
Decision by California Court Against
Contrasting Insurance Companies

San Francisco. Oct. 8.-The Trans
Atlantic Fire Insurance Company loses
in the first decision to he rendered in
the Superior Courts regarding the La
bilitv of companies which have refused
dollar Tor dollar settlement Of losses
due to the disaster that befell San Fran
cisco last spring. The company has not
single excuse in law for repudiating
the claims of it's policyholders, accord
ing to the decision rendered today by
Carroll Cook.
The Transatlantic had no earth
quake clause. It's resistance to the pay
ment of obligations rested on the gen.
eral clause of exceptions in policies by
which it is relieved from liability in
case of loss caused by invasion, insur-
rection, riot, civil war, or civil eonmo-
ton or through military or usurped pow
er or by order of any civil authority.
"There is no evidence that can bring
the case within any of the exceptions
contained in the policy" said Judge
Cook. "Even if the earthquake caused
the fire, the defendant would still be
liable under the policy, but there is no
evidence that would justify a finding
that the fire was caused by the earth
quake"
The plaintiff in the test case is As
sistant City Attorney A. s. Newburgb,
who received $3.50.
