DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH
lar to the above greet US in the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has strong
tendency to lead up TO valvular and other
affections Of the heart, attended by lr-
regular action, palpltatlon dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients Of
which DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery Is made are recommended by some
OF the leading writers on Mdterid Msdlcu
for the cure Of just such cases. Golden
Seal root. for instance. IS said by the
UNITED STATES DisPENsArokf, a stand
ard authority, to impart tone anu IN
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system IN general,
and as the heart is almost wholly com;
posed of muscular tissue, IL naturally
follows that 1t must be greatly strength
ened by this superb. general tonic. But
probably the most important Ingredient
Of Golden Medical Discovery 50 FAR
as its marveioas cures Of yalvnlar and
other affections ot the heart are con-
cerned Is Stone root, or C0ttins0Hbt Cdi.,

Stone root Is also recommended by Drs
Hale and Ellngwood, OF Chicago, for
yalvular and other diseases Of the heart
The latter says 1t IS a heart tonic oil

Very Polite.

The politest man has been discovered.
He was hurrylng along the street the
other night when another man, also In
violent haste rushed out of doorway,
and the two collided with great force.
The second man looked mad, while
the polite man, taking off his hat, said:
my dear sir, I don't know which of
us is to blame for this violent encoun-
ter, but am In too great a hurry to
investigate. II ran into you, I beg
your pardon; If you ran into me, don't
mention It,"
And he tore away with redoubled
speed. Chicago Journal.

The language of the heart which
comes from the heart and goes to the
heart is always simple, graceful and
full of power, but no art of rhetoric
can teach it. 1t is at once the easiest
and most difficult language-dlihcult
since 1t needs heart to speak it; easy
because its periods, though rounded
and full of harmony are still un-
studied.-Bovee.

Trying to Charm Away Epilepsy.


We need not 20 TO Seryia or Natal or
farther than Deyonshire to find super
stitons Only the other day in a Dew
onshire village a woman was supposed
to have had epilepsy exercised in the
following way. She went to the viii
lage church. accompanied by twenty
nine married men, who left her sitting
silent in the porch while they entered
the building for service. After service
each of the twenty-nine as he passed
out dropped penny In her lap, and
when the churchwarden had made
similar contribution the thirty pence in
copper were changed by him into a sill
yer half crown, out Of which he had a
ring forged to be worn by the epileptic
as an infallible charm against her dis
order. If, however, the woman uttered
a single word from the moment she left
her house till her return the charm
must fail.-T. P's Weekly.

The Life Line ON the Foot,

Starting from the base of the big toe
there is n distinct line. That Is the life
line. IN one foot 1t will curve along
until 1t terminates under the instep far
toward the lower base of the little toe.
This means long life. If broken in the
hollow of the foot 1t denotes a sickness
at middle age, and If it terminates in
the hollow of the foot it means short
life This line is the most interesting
one on the foot. The experiments that
have been conducted have proved this
to be an almost unfalling reading of
longevity.

The Horses Inferno.

"Paris is the inferno of horses" is a
very old aphorism. French cabmen
and carriers have In general very little
love for the horse. Many consider this
wretched quadruped as simple tool,
a motor with four feet, rather than as
a precious servant worthy of regard
and consideration. Not n day passes
in the capital without one witnessing
revolving brutality, often coupled with
real stupidlty.-Parls Eclalr.

He was successfully made a gentle

captain of the board of gentlemen pen
sioners (the bodyguardl, vice chamber

him caused much envy. Complaints
were uttered that under the existing
