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 ir-
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
Smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients of
which DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
of the leading writer's on Mdteria Medicd
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENsAToRY, stand
ard authority, ITO impart tone and 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, it naturally
follows that it must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient
of Golden Medical Discovery" so far
as it's marvellous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-
cerned, is Stone root, or ColJ5nsonia Cam,
Prof. VIM. Paine, author of Paine's
Epitomy of Medicine, says of it:
"I, not long since, had a patient who was
SO much oppressed with valvular disease Of
the heart that his friends we're obliged to
carry him upstairs He, however, gradually
recovered under the influence Of Collinsonin
(medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root. and is now attending to his business.
Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy
for the removal of SO distressing and SO dam
gerous malady. With them it was all
guess work. and it fearfully warned the
afflicted that death was near at hand Col
linsonin unquestionably affords relief in
such cases. and In most instances eHects a
cure.n
Stone root is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for
valvular and other diseases of the heart.
The latter says: ut is a heart tonic of
direct and permanent influence"
uGolden Medical Discovery" not oBSy
cures serious heart affections, but is a
most efficient general tonic and invigor-
ator, strengthening the stomach, invig-
Grating the liver, regulating the bowels
and curing catarrhal affections in all
parts of the system.

Ignorance or Malice?

1t is difficult to tell whether the Rail
Tay Age and the higher railway Off
cials" who are said TO share its sent-
ments are ignorant or malicious in their
criticism of the Interstate Commerce
Commission as a body containing too
many good lawyers and acute politicians
and too few men who have any practical
knowledge of the railroad business.
Not only charity but reason prefers
the theory that these authorities on
transportation matters err in darkness
and not in malice. They have not had
time to assimilate the new doctrine that
interference with business and the regu-
lation of private affairs are the chief ends

ing. with many little leaves growing ON
their thin and short twigs or branches
and Hecldng the pavement around with
bits OF shadow. This In the humble
object that is daily in the thoughts Of all
Tibetan Buddhists. The curative quail
ties OF the leaves in all kinds OF disease
are regarded as miraculous.
The time was when all the faithful, IL
Ii said, could see the image Of BUDDHA
or the sacred writings that were niracu-
lously imprinted on these leaves. but
to-day II is given only to the holiest men
10 discern the remarkable vision. The
lamas say the printings are there but
are revealed only TO the eye Of purest
faith. Hue and GABET are the only Eu-
ropeans who pretend to have seen these
Inscriptions; but the imaginative quality
of Father HUc's book In one of its most
delightful characteristics.
FILcHNER could see nothing remark
able about the leaves, and many Of the
Buddhist priests do not always take
them very seriously. The author says
that the mystery is nothing more than
a plain swindle. The belief in the
mysterious imprints on the leaves is
encouraged and cultivated purely az a
business matter. Great throngs Of pill
grims come to Kumbum to buy the holy
leaves and the trade in them is so profit
able that the general belief in the marvel
is stimulated in every possible way.
II is different, however, with the in
scriptions on the bark or the smooth
barkless parts Of the tree stems. The
miraculous writings are there without
any doubt, and they are almost entirely
repetitions of the Tibetan prayer -Om
mani pAdme hum" There is not a space
the size Of hand on the tree trunks with
out these inscriptions. These plainly
visible signs have been used very adroitly
to strengthen the popular faith in the
sanctity of the tree. The author says
that the writings were applied with the
aid Of red or violet inks and that the
colors are reinforced with pencils when
ever they grow dim.
The third tree is in an inner court. It
il the holiest Of the three and is said to
have sprung from a hair of the great
reformer TsoNGKAPA. No European has
ever been permitted TO see it. but the
author obtained convincing evidence Of
its existence.

Distressing New, From Boston.

1t is announced that painful accident
has afflicted the Lord Mayor OF Boston.
His Finance Commission has requested
that reform shall not await the next
administration, but begin at once. After
about three weeks research the board
has lassoed ST., 500 worth of new city jobs
on their way from the Lord Mayors Office
TO the Aldermen. 1t is advised that con-
firmation be postponed till the commits
sion can determine whether in its opin-
ion eight new sealers OF weights and
measures are indispensable to a city with
a net debt Of sss, 600, 900. Bedside bulle-
tins from Old Orchard report the Lord
Mayor as tossing in tortures from frac-
tured hope.
When the Mayor proposed that the
business organizations and the Central
Labor Union should designate members
of commission to investigate the city
finances, suspicious antagonists pre-
dicted that this mode Of appointment
would not prevent secret control from
the City Hall. The Mayor derided the
possibility OF any such influence, and he
was right. The commission has already
made il evident that il will not do for
anybody to monkey with the buzz saw.
Indeed, that engine of truncation has
begun to cut logs from eighteen months
to two years earlier than the Mayor had
intended. He was-carefil in drafting the
order for the inquiry TO provide that the
report should be submitted by the end
of 1908. Finel In this years campaign
he could point with pride to the fearless
manner in which he was voluntarily hav-
ing the departments probed. Busy men
cannot give much time to an unpaid task
It would be late in 1908 before a report
could be expected. The City Council and
the Legislature would then give such
sanctions as the proposed reorganization
might entail, and by that time the Mayor
could have passed his loan bills for 1908
and 1909, with no retrenchment and no
reform, and only six months more of
tenure in which to conform to the new
regulations.
Why not? When the present Mayor
assumed office in 1905 the Democrats
had enjoyed four years Of ascendency.
Every job from Chsrlestown to Brighton
was held by Democrat. Mayor FIrz-
GERALD came into Office after a terrific
factionsl battle, and had on his hands
hundreds OF willing ward workers who
had been living on nothing a year and
had accumulated a large surplus appe-
tite. What could the poor man do?
Replace machine Democrats? Impos-
sible. He must create new jobs or de-
cline to run again. He created.
Now comes the Finance Commission,
the busy men on their unpaid task, CIV
ing their whole time to it. We have
already seen them in action. An anxious

The Holy Tree of Kun bum.

A volume of more than 200 rages, in
folio form and with many handsome
plates, may seem to give unduly large
treatment to a single Buddhist cloister;
but all who read "Das kloster Kumbum
in Tibet" by Lieutenant WILHELM
FILcHSER Of Prussia. will be glad that
he has studied and described the famous
convent so exhaustively. Kumbum ia
celebrated not onlSas the birthplace and
home Of the reformer TsoNoKAPA. the
founder Of the Buddhist lamaseries, but
still more because among its temples
and colleges stands the miraculous tree
that is said every year TO reproduce upon
Tvs leaves either the image Of BUpDHA or
the magic formulas of Buddhism in
sacred Tibetan characters.
Many explorers, from HUc and CADET
TO PRJEvALsKY, RocKHILL and SVEN
HEDIN, have visited the cloister, told of
it's wonders and described the holy tree;
but this is the first exhaustive mono
graph upon this celebrated place. The
photographs of all parts of the monas-
tery.are excellent. Orientalists are well
coming the book not only as a funda-
mental and complete description of this
particular place but also as the best con-
tribution that has vet been made to our
knowledge of lamaism, with its peculiar
social organization, its many sided life
and activities, its temples monuments
and literature.
Kumbum, though called a Tibetan
lamasery, stands among the mountains
just over the border in the Chinese prov
ince of kansu Not far away is the
Chinese city Of Sining-fu. where FILCH-
NER obtained from the Resident Minister
for Tibet the pass that made his work at
Kumbum possible. The name Kumbum
is combination of two Tibetan words
at first applied only to the holy tree, but
now embracing the entire convent.
There are two trees of equal sanctity,
both of which are exhaustively described
and photographed by the author. One
of them stands before the temple OF the
golden roof, and this is the tree that
has worldwide celebrity. Here the pill
grims leave their offerings. The dead
leaves, sparingly sold to them, for there
are not enough to go around, are valued
beyond price for the miraculous good
they confer upon their possessors. It
is a very ancient tree, about thirty feet
in height, reputed to have sprung from
the soil in the fourteenth century more
than half dead and with foliage too
sparse to cast much shade.
The tree is a variety Of syringa. As
the visitor approaches the temple court
he sees the holy tree inside the wide en-
trance. It is surrounded by a brick wall
a few feet in height and in a niche in the
wall is the celebrated holy stone covered
with butter in which the pilgrims stick
their offerings Of coin. When the butter
will hold no more coin it is scraped off
and melted. The offerings go into the
convent strong box and the same butter
is applied to the stone again and again
as the sticking place for tribute.
In the middle of the quadrant formed
by the low wall stands the tree, a pic
turesque cs1ject in its decrepit old age
1t is really a group Of six rather slender
stems or trunks springing from the same
root, the outer stems dead and sere,

Crying Up the Country"

The sympathy ofthe public as well as It's
extreme forbearance should be with the
two great telegraph companies in their
efforts 10 carry on the vast and necessary
service which the striking operators are
trying 70 paralyze. This is the first con-
sideration and it is the plainest in sight.
The companies are just now the servants
of the public. while the striking operators
are not The latter have exercised their
indisputable right as citizens of a free
country and have quit work. They are
too intelligent and, we believe, too re-
spectacle and orderly as a class not TO
understand the limitations Of the methods
open to them as peaceful assailants of the
peoples business and the common inter-
ests Of the country's trade and the ordi-
nary conveniences Of civilized life.
This strike apparently has its impulse
in an enterprising purpose to measure
strength and assert a supposed power
rather than in any well defined grievance
of sufficient magnitude to explain so far
reaching demonstration.
fa strike thus conceived and thus pre-
cipitated could succeed, it would succeed
only through the strangulation for the
time Of interests too broad and complex
and infinitely various TO be left at the
mercy of similar undertakings in the
future. The ultimate consequence of the
defeat Of the public's servants. the tele-
graph companies. would be an immense
impetus for the idea of Government own
ership of the wires and postal operation
of them; and this, in our opinion, is an
alternative not 10 be welcomed.
