HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE
Strain on the Vital Organ Must Be
Avoided When Middle Life Has
Been Passed.

''The death by heart failure Of Gen.
Frederick D. Grant" says the Medical
Record, emphasizes the repeated
warnings of the medical profession
that We should treat a senile heart
with respect. AS far as We know
there is not the slightest disagreement
ca this one point every human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-fVe,
cannot stand much internal pressure
without being ruined or at least dam
aged. A very slight man may go
through severe muscular exertion with
but little damage, but a heavy man,
like the general, places on the heart
and arteries a hydrostatic pressure be
yond the safety point, and it never re-
covers.
1.-The pitiful feature Of this deplor-
able death is the fact that Gen.
Grant in his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion of life
insurance examiners that army Off
GERS were becoming poor risks on ac-
count of the increasing strain on their
profession. It is safe to predict more
deaths like Gen. Grants, unless we
treat the heart Of a man over forty
five with more gentleness.

of Jefferson Davis, which was inscrib-
ed on the bridge, was chiseled out, but
a few years ago it was replaced, an
episode that attracted wide interest at
the time. From here the road cuts
across a beautiful hilly country to the
Great Falls on the Maryland side,
where there is a hotel of advanced
age.
The falls are always changing, &C
cording to the height of the water
Above them is a dam which holds
back the water for the Washington
supply. A rise of one inch at the
dam makes a rise of eight inches in
the water as it passes over the falls
and down the gorges. The spectacle
is one of great majesty. The river
splits and runs around a craggy isl
and, and the two parts rush together
again and pour thunderously between
great rocks which split the food into
three separate waterfalls, as it tum-
bles over the precipice into the cal
dron. Here the water, rushing in
from three angles, forms a great whirI-
pool and thence RACES through a mar
row gorge with perpendicular walls
of granite for about a mile, where it
spreads out into placid expanse.

go into a church to be married, said
one of the Hearnes.
Incidentally he mentioned that Ger
man gypsies like to have their chill
dren baptized as often as possible, and
the practice Of successive baptism is
not unknown in England.
In both England and Germany the
food of a gypsy must on no account
be touched by a woman's dress. On
one occasion, said Mr.. Thompson, he
was having tea with family when a
boy of Is hurled back a piece of bread
at his mother because she had allowed
it to touch her dress while she was
cutting it. She remarked he was right
not to eat it and she gave it to the
dog.
The gypsy held very strong views
On the value of chastity AS recently
as 1875 an old Suffolk gypsy said the
ancient punishment for immortality
was burial alive. and he described a
certain spot where, as a boy, he saw a
girl undergo this punishment

and the ashes and the parts that could
not be burned were buried, or, prefer
ably, thrown into a river or the sea.
Crockery was broken and the frag-
ments dropped from a ferry into the
Mersey; in another case the unburn-
ed portions of a gypsy's belongings
were carried miles IN order to be
dropped into the Tyne. Only three
months ago, on the death of a baby a
few months old, the family burned
practically a new wagon which had

The custom of destroying everything

OLD D|CKIE HOUSE

Ancient Building In Virginia Has Long

Washington.-On the Virginia side
OF the Great Falls OF the Potomac,
commonly known as "the Niagara Of
the South" fourteen miles from Wash
fngton, is an ancient building, the old
Dfckte house, connected with which Is
the pleasing tradition that every prest-
dent Of the. United States has taken
dinner beneath its roof tree, President
Taft alone excepted. The old habita-
ton, long famous for it's fish and
chicken dinners, is the only dwelling
left Of the departed City of MatiIdas-
vile, that was called into being by
the construction Of the Potomac Com
pany Canal, of which George Wash
ington, after relinquishing his COM
mand at the close of the revolution,
was promoter and president.
Generations ago the canal was aban-
doned and Mati1dasville vanished from
the map. The old Dickie house alone
remains. George Washington often
ate beneath its roof. When the Brit
ISL captured Washington in 1914 Pres
ident Madison and his cabinet, it is
said, tarried for a meal before cross
ing the river. All the presidents but
one are said by the descendants Of
the original owner Of the house to
have sat at the table in the little din
ing-rOOm when visiting the falls and
to have partaken Of fish and chicken
cooked in a style that has made the
Dfckfe family famous for it's culinary
accomplishments. Some are skeptical
enough to question this claim, but it is
put forth with such stress that most
visitors depart strong in the faith
that they have eaten a meal in a room
that has been honored by the presence
of all the presidents but one. AS yet
President Taft has not sat in judg-
ment upon meal at Dickie's, and the
absorbing ambition of the proprietor
of the house is to make the list COM
plete.
Since the completion of the trolley
line to the Great Falls Of the Potomac
this beautiful work of nature has at

sionists. The trip to the falls is one
Of the most popular in the vicinity of
the national capital Last year, 170,-
900 excursionists visited the falls In
addition, thousands of other sightseers
made the trip by automobile or car
riage on the Maryland side. This
route is far more beautiful than the
one on the Virginia side, for the road
winds along the river and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal to the famous

ECONOMICAL SOUL WAS THIS
Hebrews Attempt to Save Fare Prob
ably Went Astray, but the Idea
Was a Brilliant One.

Arthur W. Marks of Washington
tells this story to illustrate the talent
Of the Hebrew race for economy.
A little Hebrew got on a train in
New York to go to Philadelphia, but
had no ticket In the car with him
were the members Of several the
atricaI companies and he noticed that,
when the conductor asked them for
their tickets they would reply:
Company"
What company" the conductor
would ask; and the actors would re-
ply by announcing the title Of the
theatrical company under whose name
all their transportation had been paid
for.
Give me your ticket" the con-
ductor finally reached the Hebrew.

looking carelessly out OF the window.

ductor

Joke on the Doctor

The physicians in Mankato had
agreed that during their ChautauQua
assembly they would employ a call
boy, and each was to pay his share
of the expense This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as it was en-
barrassing to him and looked as If
they were doing it to advertise with
out expense. So it all went well until
the afternoon when Strickland w. Gill
Inland spoke. AS he was talking away
a certain doctor had a call from the
platform, and he walked out rather
ostentatiously. Some of the people
who knew of the arrangement laughed
or snickered, and the speaker got it
He said. Don't laugh, folks. That is
the way my brother got his start"
