STRICKEN DEAD. TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENTS. A recent New York dispatch reads: “James C. H , a tine looking and apparently healthy man, was observed to ■bigger while walking on Fifth Avenue this afternoon, and after taking one or two uncertain steps fell to the sidewalk. When picked up he was dead. A physician examined thebody.and pronounced hartdiseaxe the cause of death. A peculiarly sad feature of the case is that Mr. II was on his way to Maine, to settle in the home of his boyhood. He had passed the previous ten years in the western mining country, and had amassed a fortune. If YOU have any of the symptoms given in the following testimonials you should lose no time in seeking relief. I’n m John L. Roberts, Slatiugton, Pa.: “I h :ve suffered with palpitation, irrrrjulwr pu£<e, J iinting and smotfici ing spells, pain in ihoulUers, side, and arms for over forty years. For twelve years have been treated without avail by prominent physicians in my neighborhood and in New York. Growing constant iy worse, smotliering spells followed one another, so my life was often in danger and I needed constant care. As my son had been cured by I>r. Mills’ New Heart Cure, he sent me three bottles. The <1 -t dose gave me instant reluf. Before using the last bottle I was comp'i i ’y t: red. \ i hough seventyfive years oM t Ik I twe-ty years younger. I chim my cure to be aim .-t a miracle.” Here is a letter from Mts. John Kolges, <v ■ •vel.ind, O.: “ 1 had been troubled with my licit! t and stomach for years, but for sixL. n i: onths had lieen confined to my bed. I had four of the best doctors in the city, but none of then could benefit tho weakness of my heart. 1 also had dropsy and rheumatism. I never took medicine that relieved me at once as Jle. Mile# AVte Heart Cure does. 1 am much stronger. My appetite is splendid. I pain strength with every dose. I have gained more in six weeks from your treatment than in sixteen mouths from alt the
doctors.”

western last January had his mileag'e book retained by a conductor, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat. After asking 1 him a few questions the conductor put the book in his pocket and said: “See you later.” After half an hour my friend asked him for the book. The official declined to give it up. My friend then asked permission to copy something lie had therein, which was also refused. At the next station the traveler stepped off the train into the telegraph office and sent a message to the chief of police at Racine asking for u policeman to arrest a thief upon the arrival of the
train.
The policeman was there, and my friend stepped up and introduced himself and pointed out the conductor as the thief who hail his property in his possession. After.much persuasion the conductor was taken up-town in a hoodlum wagon to a judge, who took up the case at once. The charge was made and the conductor admitted having a book taken from the man making the charge. The case was soon concluded, the book returned and the conductor was fined, having in addition to pay the costs, amounting to two dollars. As they were leaving the court the conductor said to ray friend: “I will smash your face for this.” Whereupon my friend called another policeman, had th • conductor rearrested and taken nee before the same judge and had him bound over to keep the peace. ; t m re costs. THE CONTENTED CANADIAN. There Are Few Inconvenience, Which Can Kuflle Him. The author of “Sunny Manitoba” says that the typical Canadian is characterized by a most unusual contentedness with his lot. An 6ld man who was living with his wife in the poorest shanty on the prairie, constructed of one-inch boards, unplastered within, and whose homestead was mortgaged, heard that by the death of a relative in Bngland hs had inherited a large fortune. The information came to him in the form of a newspaper cutting, sent by some friend. Two or three months later an acquaintance offered him congratulations. “I suppose it's all right,” said the Canadian, “but I don’t know." “Have you no legal adviser?” “No,” was his reply. “If they bring the money to us we shall be glad of it, but they must bring it! ' I sha’n't
bother!”
The marquis of Lome has amusingly related how he tried in vain to discover grumblers in the great northwest. One settler who was asked whether he had anything to complain of remained for some moments meditatively silent. Presently his face brightened, and he exclaimed: “Yes, it is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the dust makes me wash myself twice a week!” To a similar question a Scotch woman
answered:
“Well, no; that is—I have not the English—but I wud say that the milk is too rich for the children!” DISEASES OF MINERS. They Are Caused .Mainly by Fnlxonoun
Gases.
The alarming prevalence of miners’ consumption has directed attention to the necessity for a scientific and thorough inspection of mining methods, so far as ventilation is concerned, the disease, which is of modern origin, being declared to be due to inhaling poisonous gases arising from the use and combustion of high explosives, in which nitroglycerine is the powerful constituent. This substance, discovered in 1340, has come into mining use only within the last twenty-five years, previous to which black powder was employed. So far as cun be learned from a study of
is
stated, such a disease as miners’ consumption was unknown until very lately; and it is for this reason that it is supposed to be due to the gases arising from the use of nitroglycerine, The subject is one calling for the most widly extended and well-directed investigation by physicians whose praclice is in mining regions, and if definitely determined to be due to the cause named the simple but urgent desideratum will be that of better mine ventilation and how to secure it. The disease is said to be one that is closely allied to consumption, appears to be impossible of cure, and, so far as known, attacks none but veteran miners, who are naturally those who have been most and longest exposed to the influences presumed to be the
cause of it.
A MEXICAN BUNKO GAME.
£150, a horse, saddle and bridle, and has gone home in no doubt perfect happiness. An extraordinary circumstance is that one gentleman, or some gentlemen. I don’t know which, were under contract to buy all stones, good, bad or indifferent, at so much per karat. This contract terminated June 30. and this stone was almost, if not quite, the last stone found that day.” j The model shows that the stone is in the form of a sloping cone flattened on j two sides and standing on an oval base , so flush as almost to appear to have j been cut. Its height is about three j inches and its width about two, while
veloped to any great extent as yet. How does man come into possession of the moral sense—the sense that teaches him it is the best to do as he would be done by? Herbert Spencer does not believe in the intuitive moral sense, to start with. Man’s conscience is produced by the sum of the accumulated experiences of all his ancestors and of his own experiences and surroundings. In the course of bis evolution man has found that in order for all to be happy each must yield some of the privileges that he enjoys as an isolated individual. Hence, if he would be happy himself, he must permit

A riilloftopher Disroursrn on tho Degeneracy of Song* “The degeneracy of the present age,” said Mr. Greathead, softly, “is to my mind n > better exemplified than in the songssangto thechiklren. Now, when I was a youngster, such melodies as ‘Greenville,’ ‘Come Where the Lilies Bloom,’ ‘We Will Gather by the River' and ‘Hush-a-by Baby in the Treetop’ were considered to be the proper lullabies. You can imagine my surprise, my dear sir, when, in course of a little outing, I heard some of the songs which are used nowadays to superinduce a feeling of sleepfulness in the young,” quotes the New York Tribune. "I was walking in one of the parks when I heard a young mother crooning to her infant child. The strains seemed strangely at variance with the low, sweet and dreamlike notes of the conventional lullaby, and I drew nearer. Sir, you have never had occasion before to question my veracity, and I trust in this case that I shall not overtax your powers of belief. * “As I am standing here, sir. that young woman, with the brown of a Madonna and u complexion that would have held the admiration of a Titian was singing to that child a topical song from a trifling burlesque which has been running for the last two years. It was a maudlin song of the
Bowery.
“Then the young woman sung of a diminutive person named William, who had been so deeply steeped in vice that he was in it every minute. To cap the climax the last strains which greeted my ears as I hurried from the scene were the notes of a weird song made popular in this country by an English concert-hall singer. It is no wonder, sir, that the younger generation are so prematurely old when at an early period their brain fibers are infiltrated by the vicious tendencies of a degener-
ate age.”
Iluftbantl Killing In Ancient Rome. In the year 331 B. (’. there was a frightful mortality among the husbands of young and good looking women of Rome. A general panic prevailed among husbands and a secret investigation began. It was discovered that a ladies’ society existed for the purpose of ridding wives of undesirable husbands. They met in small parties at the house of an old woman, made pretense of celebrating religious rites, but really to procure poison and arrange among themselves whose husband should be next put to death, so that suspicion might not be excited by too many deaths at the same time. A female slave was Induced by the promise of protection and large rewards to denounce the women who had put their husbands out of the way; one

American Traveler* Arc Forced to Pay

inherited ideas of humanity; hence the origin of the moral sense. The true line of conduct lies neither in altruism nor in egoism, says Spencer, but half way between. Happy Poor. Rev. S. A. Barnett has been examining into the condition of the poor people of many nations. He is an Englishman, and perhaps for that reason he finds the wickedest poor are in America. He thinks that the depravity that accompanies poverty in this country is due to the fact that we have let our government become corrupt. The ideal poverty, however, if there is any such thing, Mr. Barnett finds in Japan. The extremes of wealth and poverty found in western nations do not exist there. The Japanese are somewhat shocked at tho huge houses the rich private citizens of other nations build to live in. Their tastes are simple. They do not spend their wealth on marble palaces, yachts or race horses, so that there is less difference in the style of living of rich and poor in Japan than elsewhere. All the Japanese have courteous manners. The street laborer or scrubwoman has ns polished manners as the gentleman of leisure. In this fine old nation politeness has been studied so many thousand years that it is bred in the bone of all the people. Therefore tho children of rich and poor associate on terms of equality. If the rich have money to spare, they give it to the poor, with no sense of condescension on the one part or humiliation on the other. All are equal, and wealth seems a mere accident. It is not likely that the wheat plethora will trouble the nations many years longer. Certainly the amount exported from India will soon cease to give annoyance to American farmers. There are now in India and subject to British rule 237,000,000 people. They are increasing at the rate of a million a year Vi hile tlie suppression of widow burning and of the drowning of girl babies is beneficial from the humanitarian view, it must he said that from the economic point of view it added that many more to the mouths to l>e filled. Population in India has now almost reached the limit of food production. Unless some way of increasing this production should Ik? developed by improved agriculture, wheat will in another decade or less time have to be imported into instead of shipped out of India. Cheap Indian labor will swarm through the world along with that which already comes from China in an ever increasing stream. Finally, so different are the people of India from western nations that with a few regiments of soldiers Great Britain, from the western edge of Europe, governs the whole 237,000,000. What were all these people born for anyway?
