HeaIthiest Town i'm America.

Although Boston is noted for it's try
ing climate, in the little town If Car
vera a nearby suburb, the two doctors
have been obliged to turn to farming
for a living because of the little de-
mand for their professional services.
Their rivalry as to who shall have the
greater number of patients has been
changed into desire to Guido each other
in raising big cabbages, getting the
greatest amount Of cucumbers out of
the smallest amount Of SOIL growing
corn that will be full-eared and still
sweet. Their medical books are grow
ing dusty, and the village druggist
says he has not had a prescription from
them in ages. The people OF the little
village are fond of the two physicians
and would like to aid them In earning a
living, but we just can't get Sick" said
one of them hopelessly.
In year there have been only three
deaths among the LOO inhabitants. In
a year DR.. Ellish H. Cornish has made
only seventeen calls for sickness. and
in that same time DR.. George F. Morse
has made only fifteen calls. A few
weeks ago there was mammoth clam
bake at the center" and the doctors
had hopes that business might pick up
a little the next day Or two, but not a
child, man. or woman was touched with
Indigestion. Even two old men of 80
suffered no uneasfness from a liberal
supply of CLAIMS, corn, chicken, and
lobster.-New York Press.

STONE For1ning fn MANS Heart.

William Gentry, 26 years old, of So2
South Second street, a patient at the
city hospital, is suffering from a flung
Gus growth on the valve of the heart,
which is interesting to physicians. The
formation which is known as a cal
careous deposit is nothing less than
stone in the mans heart.
The symptoms were that the growth
had so interfered with the normal ac-
ton of the heart that the blood was but
partly discharged, a portion of it re-
entering the heart for a second dis
charge.
Stone in the heart is caused by an
original rough dint on the valves of the
heart. Lime in the blood adheres to
the rough surface when being pumped
through the heart and nature, in her
attempt to cover the irritation, builds
wall that prevents the valve from prop
erly closing.
When the valve refuses to close tight
the blood returns, after being pumped
out, and the result is an enlarged heart.
The enlarged heart causes extra work
on the muscles, and often is disastrous
Sometimes, however, the sufferer lives
many years. After death this stone has
a challly appearance. The case of Gen
try is unique, and the physicians are
making &C special study of his condi-
tion.-St. Louis dispatch to New York

Attacks by Starving Animals.
The starving creatures often attack the
stables and the haystacks on the ranches
where they used to range. and the farm
ers shoot them actually in self-defense
Many elk starve to death. and for two
seasons the legislature of Wyoming has
appropriated 5000 to buy hay and alfalfa
to carry them through the winter.
Capt. John Pitcher when he was super
intendent of the park. plowed up a large
tract of land in the Gardiner valley and
planted II to alfalfa for the benefit of the
deer and antelopes. which also in
creasing in numbers and after snowfall
find it hard work to get food. Three crops
are cut from the alfalfa field and stacked
away as winter fodder, and the animals
are allowed to Craze in the field when the

to take care of these animals. which the
