BIRTH RATE OF TALENT.

HEART FAILURE THEORY.

The immediate cause OF death in So
called heart failure has been so variously
explained that there has seemed no end
of theories on the subject Almost every
day we read OF one or more persons drop
pind dead without warning and without
any strain or stress that should especial
ly account for the accident.
The majority OF the prelminaries are
SO trivial that we are entirely at a loss
to explain why the seizure should occur
at precisely that moment when the vic
tim appeared as well as usual and when
the occurrence was so entirely unexpect-
ed
Not infrequently, also. heart disease has
not been known to exist until the autopsy
reveals II. All these facts add to the pres

Among the charities Of the late
Marshall Field was a pension list of
persons to whom a stated sum was sent
regularly each month. With these he
was generous, but he disliked being
imposed upon. One man, who had in

days for twenty-five dollars.
He had gone far from Mr.. Fields

you can one. Mr.. Field is a rich man

After three months of married life,
Mrs. Ella Farnham, 90, left the Brook
Ign boarding house where she and her
husband of 60 had made their home,
has sued for divorce and gone to work
as clerk in notion store. She recon-
mends the following "don'ts" based on
her own brief experience, to all wom-
en- contemplating matrimony: Don't
marry a man who cannot give you a
coy little home of your own. Don't
marry until you have spent at least
five years in the society Of men. Don't
be afraid of being an old maid It Is
worse to have your heart broken by a
man unworthy Of you. Don't marry too
young and with too little knowledge Of
men. Don't take men too seriously.
Most mems compliments are deceiving.
Don't contradict those who tell you
marriage is a farce. Don't forget that
a good Office job is better than a poor
man." All this covers broad ground.
But broader still might have been COW
cred by a single sentence Don't mar
ry at all unless there is love enough
to last longer than three months" Love
can overcome all adverse conditions,
make happy home anywhere, sweet
en- sorrows and disappointments,
smooth the wrinkles of age and lend
wisdom to the ineXperience of youth,
and cause all life's joys that are really
worth while to hover about it and radi-
ate from it, as fragrance surrounds the
rose. There are no fixed rules for
happiness in marriage and never can be
any. But it may confidently be stated
as an invariable general principle that
lots Of love is needed to prevent wife
kept In a boarding house from being
like fish out of water. The great
mass Of happy wives who work in their
homes, rear their children, cook the
meals, mend the clothing and do the
thousand and one unending tasks of
the housewife need not envy these glist-
ening butterflies who look upon mar
rage as opportunity for leisure. The
happiest women In the world are the
wives. whose love finds expression in
work. Not overtaxed drudges, whose
lives are necessarily miserable, but the
women whose time and hands and
minds are ever occupied in making the
home happier and life for all around
them sweeter with wholesome meaning.
