"Some of the most courageous and

respectable, there has never been a
holdrup or an assault within a block
of the place. Within the last few
months I never approach the building
atnight, without walking in the middle
of the street, and then I am so fright

to see something ghastly there near my

DYING SUDDENLY,
Some of the Causes That Are Tak
ing People Off.
Inactivity and Lack of Proper Exer
cise Responsible for More
Deatlhs Than the Dread
ed Smallpox.
In aliftost every daily paper are to be
seen several announcements that 1
somebody has died suddenly. These j
sudden deaths are more liable to be
men than women. Mr. So-and-So fell I
dead on the street or in his office while
writing letters or preparing a sermon
or doing something or other. "Found
dead in his room" is becoming a very
common headline. Generally some
thing is said about the heart. Some
vague insinuation that the heart was
not acting properly, but, as p rule, no
explanation which is really rational is
furnished, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
They have become a serious matter
? these sudden deaths have. What is
the trouble with our men ? strenuous
business men ? that they are falling
dead like flies in frosty weather? Is
it the strenuous life they live? Is it
the late hours and midnight suppers
ihey are indulging in? Is it the cig
arettes they are smoking? The whisky
they are drinking? Is it the want of
physical exercise? Or is it all of
these combined?
It is a well-known fact that the heart
is a muscle. If the muscles of the body
are allowed to become flabby, the heart
also becomes flabby. A flabby heart
may be trusted to pump the blood
through the system ordinarily, but a
sudden fright or emergency, a sudden
expenditure of energy, as in running
up steps, or any unusual exercise, is
liable to overpower the heart. It sud
denly stops and the man falls dead.
Tobacco tends to produce a flabby
heart. Whisky tends to produce en
largement of the heart. Lazy, indolent
habits weaken the heart and thin the
ventricles. That man who indites edit
orials, dictates letters, but takes no
muscular exercise is in danger of fall
ing dead. The life insurance man bet
ter steer clear of him. It is of vastly
more importance to know what his
habits are with reference to physical
exercise than to know whether his
grandmother died of heart disease, or
his grandfather had rheumatism. The
doctor might a great deal better inter
view his wife and discover exactly how
the man behaves himself, than to exam
ine the blood for microbesor the urine
for urate crystals.
If a man must be strenuous, let him
be strenuous all around. He should takei
a little strenuous physical exercise
every day, as well as strenuous mental
work. It is even dangerous to neglect
to take daily physical exercise. Fatty
degeneration is killing more men to
day than smallpox. With all the hulla
baloo about pest-houses and vaccina
tion quarantine and medical boards,
our country is not in half as mtich dan
ger from the ravages of smallpox as it
is from the deteriorating, disintegrat
ing influence of physical laziness.

Removal of Itoanty on Dead Animals
Results In Too Many
Live Ones.
The Maine legislature at its present
session will be called upon to decide
which is the most important, the life
of a human being-, or that of a bear.
The legislature four years ago, accord
ing to a Bangor special to t"he New
York Tribune, repealed the law pro
viding for the payment of a bounty of
five dollars each on bears, because it
had been represented that the game
was becoming scarce, and that when
it came to fun and excitement any
sportsman would rather kill one bear
than a dozen deer.
Since the bounty was removed bears
have been rapidly increasing, so that
people living in remote regions have
begun to circulate petitions for the
restoration of the bounty. In sections
where bears abound sheep-raising has
been abandoned by many farmers. The
bears eat up the flocks, and it is a mat
ter of record that a yoke of two-year
old steers were recently killed and
eaten by bears in the town of Wesley.
In the town of Byron, it is said, last
fall 27 sheep were thus destroyed.
tSome women and children are afraid
1 9 go into the back lots to pick ber
ries. Bruin is also hated by orchard"
ists? because he not only steals all the
sweet apples, but breaks off limbs as
large around as a man's arm. The
country people feel that they ought
0bt to suffer this simply in order that
plenty of bears, may be raised to fur
nish sport for visiting sportsmen. They
are asking the legislature, accordingly,
to 'restore the bounty.
Orange and Taplora Cream.
Soak in hot water one-half cup of
tapioca until tender. Add one quart
of milk and put to cook in double
boiler. Beat three eggs thoroughly
and add slowly, stirring all the while.
Sweeten to taste and season with
grated rind of orange. Cook until
the tapioca is done and the whole
creamyi and smooth. Fill a glass
salad or fruit dish with sliced navel
oranges, sprinkling each layer liber
ally with granulated sugar. When
the cream is cooked set away to
cool; then- pour over the sliced
oranges. Chill and serve cold. ? J)e

Cheeae and Olive Sandwich.
A very good* and unusual sandwich
is made with a filling of cream
cheese and minced ripe olives. Stone
and chop the olives, which, /remem
ber, are much richer in oil than the
green ones, and mix with the cheese,
using the back of a dessert spoon.
Use white or brown bre;^1 and cut

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott's Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott's
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Why There Are White Feathers.
No white pigments have been found
in feathers, and the whiteness of white
feathers is ascribed to total reflection,
of light from their exposed surfaces.
Some have supposed the reflection to
be from air spaces, or bubbles, in the
feather structure, but R. M. Strong, of
Haverford college, says that the white
effect is mainly dependent, as in the
case of snow or powdered glass, upon
the small size of the structural ele
ments. These have a large number of
surfaces so placed for any position of
the eye that there is a maximum re
flection to the eye, and almost no ab
sorption by the unpigmented. feather
substance. ? Youth's Companion.

Terrible Parasite* of Egypt.
Two parasitic worms, bilharzia and !

a matter of much speculation, but
Prof. Looss, accidentally infecting hir.
self with ankylostomiasis by allowing
a drop of water to rest on his hand,
has been able to prove that the larvae
of one species at least enters the body
through the skin. As the same i?
doubtless true of bilharzia, simple
wading in the infected Nile explains
the prevalence of two dread diseases.

PEACE FORT MOUNMENT.
Harks the Spot on Rook Inland
Wihere Treaty Was Made with
Sac and Fox Indiana.
At the lower end of Rock Island,
in the Mississippi, was built, in 1816,
a fort which was named after Gen,
Armstrong, then secretary of war.
The encroachments of the Indians,
and the need for a rallying place for
the white settlers on the bau}<s of the
Mississippi, made the fort a neces
sity. It was built of hewn logs, and
was strong enough to resist any at
tempt of the Indians to capture it.
Happily, there never arose an occa
sion to use the fort for warlike pur
poses, and it became but a trading
post, says George H. Daniel's Four
Track News.
There was signed here, in 1831, the
treaty by which the Sac and Fox In
dians agreed to remote to the Iowa
side of the river, and leave the vil
lage on the bank!? of Rock river,
which they had occupied so long. The
fort was 400 feet square, and having
access to water, and carrying a large
supply of food, was equipped for a
long siege.
There now Remains nothing of it.
Two cannon pointing Sown the river
have been the only things to mark
the spot where it stood till two
years ago, when the Daughters of
the American Revolution erected a
monument there.

THE NEW TOMATO TREE.
Ilngnlnr Specimen Tlhnt Has Ileen
PropaKateil from (be Vines
Beam Kruit.
If one would be .considered quite
sane one should not discuss the tree
tomato even yet. Otherwise one is
likely to be reasoned with gently^
and informed that tomatoes grow on
vines instead of trees,, says the Phil
adelphia Record.
All this to the contrary notwith
standing, there really is a tree toma
to. Such a tree is grown by Mrs1. Shep
herd, at Ventura, Cal. She has
grown it several years, and feels that
it has a great future as a fruit for
shipping. It comes into bearing along
during the holidays, when fruits are
scarce, and ships long distances per
fectly. Some say it is practically
hardy in California. This tree, how
ever, grows under glass.
As to the fruit, there seems to be
no understanding. Some call this rich,
tomato-tinted production fruit; oth
ers tomato, which is equivalent to a
vegetable. As to flavors, it is said
to be a cross between the tomato and
the plum, and is equally delicious as
a salad or a dessert. Experts think
the day is not far off when it will be
extensively grown. One good speci
men, and about the easiest to get at
here in the east, is the one in the
Bronx botanical collection in New"
York. For some time past this tree
has hung full of these rosy, plum
shaped fruits, or vegetables, which
hang singly or in clusters of two or
three or four.
