From Medicine to the Drama.

trials ana difficulties. His parents
wished him to take up medical ca
reer. and he began his studies with
some zeal. The love Of the drama,
however, was far greater than the
love of the pill box, and in the inter
val of the other work Sardou was
busy upon II play. Life was strug.
gle for him, for he had little money,
though he managed to get journalistic
work to supplement his more slender
income. His first play was II failure

Cause of FATTY Heart.

The great danger from obesity lies
in the liability of the fat to invade the
cellular elements of the body especial
ly the muscles. This produces fatty
degeneration of the muscular tissues,
which greatly weakens and impairs
their functional activity When the
fat invades the tissues of the heart
muscles the disease known as fatty
degeneration of the heart" results, and
the patient Is in serious danger. When
ever a slight additional strain upon the
circulation results from undue exer-
else, excitement or other cause the
muscles interfere with the hearts ac-
tion, and it is liable TO cease beating.
Anaemia and hysteria often are accom-
paniments of obesity. Because Of the
increased weight and difficulty of
moving about such patients are pre-
vented from taking an ordinary
amount of exercise. Often. too, there
are a lassitude and n positive dislike
for muscular cxertion of any kind. -

In Cure Wrinkles.

Look at a paralytic if You think
wrinkles incurabe." said a beauty doc
tor con the side he Is paralyZed all
his wrinkles disappear Though he be
sixty or seventy, his profile on that
side is the profile Of youth. So the
paralytic shows us how to cure our
wrinkles namely, by Keeping our IA
cial muscles Still. If we keep our faces
in perfect reposc, never laughing when
the comedian sings his best song, new
cr weeping when wife or sweetheart
dies. we will have no wrinkles what
ever. The skin wouldn't wrinkle if it
were not exposed. The skin of the
body is much disturbed by action of
the muscles underneath-as at the
knee, for instance-yet this unexposed
skin never wrinkles. Not being ex-
posed to the bad influence of sun and
wind, it has not lost the oil and the
elasticity of childhood. And that's
where l come in with my creams and
unguents and messages. " - New Or

His Wonderful Invention.

Australia, as is well known, is in
tested with rabbits, Il most destructive
and multitudinous pest. Not long ago
a man invented the following plan:
You so out into the field from which
the rabbits are to he removed. You
saw down a tree and on the slant Of
the stump you paint a black spot.
Then you keep very quiet so that the
rabbits will come back from their bur-
rows and feed as usual When a
large enough number has collected you
clap your hands sharply. The effect
will be electric. The rabbits will jump
in haste for their burrows. At least
one is sure to mistake the black spot
for his hole and make for it. Invaria-
bly, he will dash his brains out. This
process, repeated often enough, is
warranted to cXterminate the rabbit
forever
The reports do not say whether
there are any rabbits left in Australia
