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 w should treat a senile heart
with respect. AS far as we know
there is not the slightest disagreement
on this one point-eveFy human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five.
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.
"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 &C
count of the increasing strain on their
profession. 1t is safe to predict more
deaths like Gen. Grants, unless we
treat the heart of a man over forty
five with more ~gentleness.

to the ~tittering audience and said in

Poor Mrs. Blacki A hundred pairs
OF eyes sought her pew and focused
themselves upon the pretty young
woman sitting there, red, angry, and
shamefaced. Mr.. Black was visibly
amused and could hardly keep from
laughing aloud.
AS Frances passed by the Hamil-
tons pew in her promenade down the
aisle, Mrs. Hamilton leaned across her
husband and made an attempt to
clutch Lima; but she was too late;
already that dignified little orphan"
was gliding with stately, conscious
tread to Join the others. This was too
much for the audience. A few boys
laughed out and for the first time
the preachers suspicious were
aroused. AS he clasped Lina's slender,
graceful little hand he asked:
"And you have no father or mother,
little girl?"
YES, ! have, too" she angrily re-
torted. my father and mother are
sitting right there" and she pointed
a slim forefinger to her crimson, en-
barrassed parents.
