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
" 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-
ton, 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 positive dislike

From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 The navy department is negotiating with artists who originate highly colored lith- ographs used in advertising for naval re- cruits for design which shall be suitable for dead-wall pictorial solicitation or en- listments in the naval service. About ten proposals have been received, accompa- nied by twice that number of sketches. It is observed that most of the designs submitted show marked appreciation on the part of the artists of the spectacular element represented in the alluring pros pect that an enlistment in the navy af- lords unequaled opportunities to visit for eign parts It is thus that many of the competitive designs make a great deal of the blue jacket enjoying jinrikisha rides in Japan cigarette smoking in Spain, gon- dolaing in Venice. and meditation among the pyramids of Egypt. Some of the de- signs show the enlisted man engaged in a refreshing draught of cooling and pre- sumably. exhilarating beverages. amidst tropical verdure. All of the scenes are, 1t is agreeable to state, regarded with no particular favor by the naval au- thorties, who appreciate that the life of the bluejacket is not one round of sight seeing and relaxation in strange places It has very serious side to it. that of preparation for war which does not come about by the pursuit of pleasure in for eign ports.
 Some criticism has been directed in Con gross against the navy department be- cause its highly colored posters soliciting enlistments in the navy have been alto gether too much of what might be called the frivolous side of the buejacket's ex- istence, and one congressman has stated that this Is a misrepresentation calculated to deceive thoughtless youth, who come,

TOSSING BOUQUETS
 AT COMMON HOG
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The news of the discovery of an anti cholera serum for hogs, by scientist at the State University of Missouri, is tre- mendously important and 1t is said to be true. The hog may not figure, in the pop ular mind, an inviting subject for a rhapsody, but when you come to con slider his economic relationship to the con cerns of humanity where will you find another animal with more points in his favor than just the hog, with all his bristles and his untidy habits?
 The hog comes into the world, almost without exception, in a gregarious form. One never hears of little pig or a ma ture hog being spoiled because he is the only member of the family. There are always others-and plenty of them-to share the favors that come to the hog household. It is quite usual for the family to number eight or ten and a litter of twelve is not phenomenal
 Well. within less than year of the birth of a litter of pigs they are full grown hogs carrying several hundred pounds of the best meat that ever came from the hand of nature.
 Again, each several hog when he goes to market carries in his corpulent carcas about ten bushels of corn. If you have given the subject the attention it calls for you can see how much this saves the honest farmer In the way of freight charges in the transportation of corn
 But the hogs usefulness is by no means limited to his life. His real virtues be-

won't stand hitched. Can you engage him in conversation in the Metropolitan lobby while l stand by and sketch him?'
 "Old Dave chortled till apoplexy all most got him. and agreed. That morn ing he rounded me up in the lobby and engaged me in a long and purposeless conversation, during which Davenport took up a position slightly to leeward and made sketches. He didn't worry me any: I knew he was sketching not me, but old Dave.
 Two days later old Dave fell upon me in the lobby fairly apopleptic with rage, Look here. John.' he sputtered. See what this infamous Yankee artist has done to me. He has sketched me drawing a pug dog by a string-ne, Dave Gull berson-a pug dog, By Gawd, sah. What will they think of that down in Texas :? By heaven, John, I'll kill the scoundrel Me, with a pug dogl Why, it'll ruin my career, sah! And where. John, where did he ever get a sketch of me-?
 "'Why. Judge I said, don't you re- member the time We were lined up here in the lobby"
 "'But he was sketchin' you, John broke in old Dave.
 T think not, Judge I said, I asked him to sketch you, and he's a man of honor

the destiny of the republic rested on his shoulders.
 "A point of order MT. Chairmanv yelled.
 'The business of the House came to an abrupt stop. The members turned around and stared at me with wonder The chairman banged his gavel down.
 2" What is your point of order?' he de- manded.
 Then it flashed over me that I didn' t know what my point of order was. I turned around to ask my guide, philoso- pher and friend. He wasn't in his seat. I looked down the aisle and caught glimpse of his shaking shoulders disap- bearing in the cloakroom.
 "I will draw a veil over the rest of that painful scene. However, I got square with old Dave. Some time after ward an artist named Homer Davenport blew into Washington, penning states men into corners and drawing libels of them. He drew old Walthall, the stateli- est statesman that ever came out of the south, fondling a pig. Walthall, whose dignity never had been impugned before, looked for Davenport for four days with gun, and Davenport had his meals sent up to him on a dumbwafter "He was trying to get old Dave, but old Dave had seen the Walthall picture and was wary Finally he came around to me. I foregathered with him and agreed to aid him in his fell designs. Then he went to old Dave.
 Judge said this nefarious Daven- port, I design to make a scurrilous pie ture of John Sharp Williams. but he
