    WHY HEARTS DREAE.
A Phyiloltn'i Matlei-ot-Kucl Solution
of the Vtllnv l-rolilcm.
"A healthy man or woman does not
die of a broken heart," a well-known
physician said. "A healthy heart is
only big muscle, and nobody can liavo
grief enough to break it. When,
therefore, a blooming young widow
shows apparently inconceivable grief
at the deuth of her husband, and in a
short time recovers her equanimity, sho
Ought not to be accused of hypocrisy.
Neither may it bo concluded that
another woman who soon pines and
dies has had more affection for her
husband than the first The first
widow may have even inoro affection
than the other, but have been sustain
ed by physical health.
"It is erroneous to suppose that death
by heart disease is always sudden, it
is very commonly protracted for years,
and exists undetected by most skillful
phyiscians only to bo developed by
some sudden occurrence. There was
an eminent physician of Brooklyn, in
active practice, who died within an
hour of the time when he was about
to lecture. He was so well, that after
examination by skillful physicians of a
first-class insurance company, he was
declared perfectly sound, and a policy
for 10,000 insurance on his life readi
ed his home before his body was cold-
The cause of death was a mystery
until the post-mortem examination, by
Dr. John G. Johnson, of Brooklyn*
Bhowed that a little piece of chalky do
posit in the heart hail become loosened
and formed an embolism. The man
ha<l simply taken some specimens out
of his desk, and he died in his chair
without any excitement or undue
effort. Any little excitement might
have done it, and then his death would
have been cited as that from broken
heart.
"So-called deaths from broken hearts
may be lrc .1 ntly traced in this way.
One exertion as well as another may
furnish the requisite culmination.
Medical books are tilled with instances
of death by heart disease during the
performance of pleasurable functions.
When a man is nearly dead it is easy
to put on him the finishing stroke, but
it is inaccurate to give the finishing
touch all the blame of his death-
When a woman loses her husband, or
a girl losee her lover, and by nervous
exhaustion, loss of sleep, lack of nour
ishment, and grief, weakens the action
of her heart, she is said to die of a
broken heart, but she has, in fact died
of a vefy ordinary disease.
"The case of Bill I'oole, living for
ten days with a ball in ids heart, is
often spoken of as remarkable, but J'r.
Flint records a case where a man had
a ball in his heart twenty years, and
finally died of pneumonia. Both these
men hail healthy hearts, and could "not
have hail them broken by grief. Vet,
In fact, more women than men die of
heart disease. Out of sixty-one ol>-
aerved cases, thirty-seven were male .
Another record showed that in sixty,
two eases of ruptureof the heart, them
was fatty degeneration existing. In
other words, where fat is substituted
for muscle, the organ is easily broken-
If any of these people had lieen sub
jected to sudden grief, they might have
furnished illustrations of heart-break"
ing. One medical observer records one
hundred cases of rupture of the heart
where there was no grief to account
for it In fact, grief is a very raro
cause of heart-breaking.
"Disease is the real cause of heart
breaking. and the various kinds of dis
ease which leads to It are so many that
volumes would Ik- neces-ary to describe
them. The cause of these diseases arc
manifold, and are very much under
the control of the individual. There
are, of course, hereditary tendencies to
heart disease; but aside from traumatic
causes, these tendencies may exist for
years without fatal result.
"It is a curious fact that the least
dangerous heart disease often creates
the most apprehensions. Frequently
patients who have only a functional or
curable disorder will not lie persuaded
that calamity does not impend,
although there may be no real danger
On the other hand, organic <Ueaseg
may exist unsuspected. There are
sympathetic relations Iwtween tho
nind and the heart, and disorders of
the heart are frequently traceable to
mental excitement, either pleasurable
or painful. Quick beating of the heart
is no certain symptom of danger. It
has been demonstrated that the pulse

Hospitality In Central Asia
Imagine, gentle reader, an isolated
tent in sotuo dreary portion of the
desert, at whose door I arrive after a
tiresome march of several hours in
• • —-
deep sand and under a scorching sun.
without a drop of refreshing water,
and without an animating breeze. My
salutation, "Ks-salem Aleikurn"—i. e..
"Peace be over thee" —resounds far in
the distance, and makes the grazing
cattle raise their heads, as if bewilder
ed at the unaccustomed voice. At
once a young or an elderly woman ap- i
pears at the entrance of the ragged
and storm-worn tent, the felt piece* of

snow, while bolts, ropes, and pegs are
sadly out of repair. It is a poor tent
The male inhabitant is out on some
predatory or hunting expedition, while
his wife has to tend the flock in close
proximity to the dwelling, or is en
gaged in spinning or rolling a new
piece of felt to l>e laid under the new
member of the family whose arrival Is
expected soon. On perceiving the
pious stranger frotn a distant land she
utters a few words of joyous surprise,
and soon coines forward with a wooden
dish of sour milk, with a piece of
cheese, fir with a bundle of sun-dried
fish. The visitor partakes of the offer
ing with a loud "Rismillah," i. e.. "in
the name of God," while his hostess
sits opposite shedding tears liecause
God has given her the opportunity of
feeding a guest. As soon as he has
satisfied his hunger she brings before
tiini the plain-colored camel-hair, the
the material for the new carpet, in
order to have bestowed upon it his

by uttering a sigh from the depth of
her heart, or by a tear, of which the
poet justly says:

I have often witnessed scenes of this
nature that were indescribably touch
ing, and it may lie easily understood
how this comes back to my memory,
whenever I have to picture the lights

wonder, too, that during my abode
among the Turcomans on the Ourgan
feelings of admiration were mingled

THE Dill TOKTI'MAH.
IntrrrlllMK ! < About it !\olr.il MIIL
tnry l*il<ii.
W. K. Prentice, an old New York
soldier, recalls the following interest
ing reminiscences of the old military
prison, in it letter to the San Francisco
Bulletin: it happened to bo my fortune
also to bo sent to the Dry Tortugus
soon after Dr. Mudd, though 1 had tho
go'id fortune to be relieved from duty
somewhat sooner. The place is a queer
one, and has seldom been described-
The Dry Tortugus (the word, I believe*
means turtles) embrace a group of sev
eral small coral islands, or keys, lying
in the gulf of Mexico, 120 miles west
from the southern point of Florida.
The largest embraces only a few acres;
they are destitute of fresh water, and
barren, with the exception of u few
small mangrove and cedar trees. They
were a part of tho Florida purchase,
and a fort was commenced on Garden
Key, one of the larger, by the Spaniards.
It is now a first-class brick fort, with
two tiers of casements, and mounts
more than three hundred guns. During
the war it was used us a military
prison, and many a poor fellow, after a
court-martial, heard the words: "Sen
tenced to the Dry Tortugus for life,''
These had accumulated till, in the
autumn of 18G5, inorc than GOO men of
all nationalities and all colors, were
gathered tin re, and for all crimes, from
some hasty word, most likely true, said
to a subaiteran officer, up to robbery
and attempted murder.
<>ur guard consisted of only about
two hundred men, and there was plenty
of Work for us to do. The records bad
been but imperfectly kept.and the term
of sentence of some prisoners had long
before expired. These were hunted
out and sent home lirst. Then l'o or
more of the liett'-r men were recmn
mended f.>r pardon, which was freely
granted by President Johnson, for he
was in a pardoning mood at that time.
But the main interest centered around
the four conspirators, Mudd, Arnold#
sq-anglcr and O'Loughlin. They were
supposed to be terrible fellows, ready
to < tit all our throats any time on a
moment's notice. Dr. Mudd was the
central figure. He was a fair-haired
man of good sire and rather prejossea
sing appearance. His one all-absorb
ing thought was that be was the victim
of great injustice, and whenever he
could gain a listening ear, into it be
always poured hi* griefs. He was de
tailed a* general nurse in the hxq>itaj
and did g<x*| service there, till in an
evil day lie attempted t> oscaj>e by se
creting himself on board a steamer.
Of course he was found, sent hark in
disgrace, and afterward kept in solitary
confinement Arnold was a young
man, not more than twenty-four or
t w enty-th e, handsome, highly educated,
refine*] and retiring in his manners
He said little, never complained, but
felt his disgrace most keenly. He was
kept as a clerk in the provost marshal's
office, and many a descriptive or mus
ter-roll in his beautiful handwriting
went to Washington. He had the
ability, and ought t<*-*iay to be taking
good care of himself somewhere.
Spongier, the stage * arpenter at Ford's
theater, was a jolly German, and, to all
appearances, as happy there as mortal
man ever is. How well I rememlier his
portly form, bustling atiout at his work,
the happiest looking man in the fort
Lastly was poor O'Loughlin, an Irish,
man, I think a shoemaker by trade. He
had left a family in Washington, and
Could not l>car tip under bis punish
ment. He drooped from tho day he
reached the place, and dW*l soon after 1
left I have to day a letter from Mudd
and one from Arnold, written after I
had left the service, asking my aid in
procuring some mitigation of their pun
ishment. While I did not pity them as
I did the more than 150 soldiers sent
there for the most trilling breaches of
military law, I can still see how they
were all, perhaj*. more unfortunate
than criminal.
The (Most W underfill Thin?.
A correspondent asked a Zuni chief
who came Last last fall:
"What of all you saw in your jour
ney impressed you most with the supe
riority of the white men over the
Indians?"
Tho father of the Zuni* turn
ed his eyes toward me, and answered
slowly:
"The ease with which they can get
water. The whito man takes the river
into the wails of his house. By turn
ing a little iron stick lie ran get that
which we pray for all our HvcsH'
This was to the mind of the Zuni,
the inhabitant of the barren, rainless
land, the triumph of civilization. I
asked him If he wanted to go back to ;
the States, and he said: "Yes, I grow
strong with anxiety that I may go
again."— Chicago Inter-Ocnan.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
The brave man carves out bis own
fortune.
A life spent worthily should be
measured by a nobler line—-by deeds,
not years.
JIo is most to blame who breaks the
law—no matter under what provoca
tion he act.
Nothing can constitute good breed
ing that has not good nature for its
foundation.
Men are sometimes accused of pride
Tneroly because their accusers would he
proud themselves if they were in their
places.
By rousing himself, by earnestness,
by restraint and control, the wise man
may make for himself an island which
no flood can overwhelm.
Some people are nothing but money,
pride and pleasure. These three
things engross their thoughts, and
take up their whole souL
l'ersevcrance can sometimes equal
genius in its results. There are only
two creatures," says the eastern prov
erb, "which can surmount the pyra
mids—the eagle and the snaiL"
The beginning of hardship is like
the first taste of bitter food—lt seems
for a moment unbearable; yet, if there
is nothing else to satisfy our hunger,
we take another bite and find it possi
ble to go on.
One ought to love society if he wish
es to enjoy solitude. It is a social na
ture that solitude works upon with the
most various power. If one is misan
thropic, and betakes himself to loneli
ness that he may get away from hate
ful things, solitude is silent emptiness
to hira.
Peace i* bettor than Joy. .Toy is an
unea*v gu*-.t, anil is always on tiji-b-*-
to depart. It tries and wears us out,
and yet keeps us ever fearing that tin
next moment it will be gone, Peace
is not so. It comes more quietly, it
stays more contentedly, and it never
exhausts our strength, nor gives us one
anxious, forecasting thought.
I.EMS FOR THE MONTHS.

In more modern times each month
has had a gem consecrated to it, and
the wearing "fa particular precious
stone, an a talisman, by a lady lx>rn in
a given month Is supposed to t>e more
than usually fortunate. The system of
divining applies only to women and
theoretically is infallible. She who is
Ixirn in January should wear only
garnets, which would insure her th
friendship anil fidelity of her a*sociat--
and w ill also render her true to them.
Those Imrn in February inti*t wear the
amethyst, which will make them sin
cere with others, and will insure them
against poisons and pas-ion* and ear**.
Those who-e birthday fall- in March
will lie wise, brave and firm by nature,
and will Is- assi-ted in these qualitie
by wearing a blood-stone. The dia
mond Is sacred to April, and will keep
her who is born in that month Inno
cent till death, while the lady born in
May should wear an emerald, which
will lie certain to make her a loved and
happy wife. Those Imrn in June
should wear an agate to bring them
health, wealth, peace ot mind and long
jife, while the ruby clears away tie
doubts, anxieties and pangs of love for
th<se born in July. The sardonyx is
for those born in August; with it as a
finger ring, they are absolutely certain
t<> gain husbands and happiness; with
out it they are tiound to live alone, ami
to die unwept, untmnnred and unsung
The sapphire is good to prevent or
cure insanity, and is especially beneficial
to those born in Septemlicr, while the
topaz, an emblem of friendship and
love, is dear to those who first saw tin
light in November, and the turquoise,
the emblem of success, must lie worn
by those whose birthday comes In
December. Thesuper-t itious reverence

the Kohitoor are examples too well

have abounded with diamonds,various

There were the .Sea of Fire, the River

A CHINESE DINNER.
Tlir Plctnra<|u ftmi<|u*t In a *fanrl*
rln'ft lluUMhuld.
Our party of five English guests,
met in (j.'i office, and proceeded in In
dian file, ea-h in hia sedan chair
threading our way through narrow
streets dimly lit with Chinese lan
terns, says a writer in tho Pall Mall
Gazette deseibing a Chinese dinner.
We stopped In a narrow lane on the
outskirts of tho town, entered a shab
by-looking doorway and mounted a
ladder-like staircase. This led into a
suite of rooms, where I found myself
wishing for Argus' eyes to take in the
hundred new aspects. They were not
large or gorgeous, like Hidonia's apartr
mcnts in Holywell street, but quaint
and curiously furnished. A long ta
ble of black lacquer, arid square-cut
chairs with marble blocks down eith
er side, at the end a smoking divan
with embroidered silk hangings. This
was the ante-rooru. Two doorways
led from it into the dining room, and
in the space between them was a sort
of kaleidoscope pattern of a adored
glass, In-low which were rich hang
ings, with grotesque dragons in gold
thread sprawling over a crimson silk
ground. Over the doorway was open
arabesque work of ebony, and beyond
the dining-room was a veranda with
orange trees and creepers. While
we were being Introduced, tea was
served in Chinese fashion an invert
ed saucer is dropped into the cup to
keep down the tea leaves (teapots are
unknown in China, j ami you sip, or, if
you are a novice like myself, you spill,
the tluid that finds its way between
the two. Then we went to dinner, a
party of t wel •> e. (in my right was an old
merchant, sagacious and humorous, to
judge by his look* and what I could
make out of his broken English. On
iny left was a young half-caste, edu
cated in the government w hool here—
fluent, sallow and con cited. Chairs,
knives and forks had I provided
for the English guests, but we soon
discarded the chairs for th<- comforta
ble lounges on which our hosts were
seated, and also took to chopsticks,
with the occasional assistance of a
-ji-ion. Those chopsticks were a j-r
-fort godsend, and I never should ha\e
*ur\iveid without tlior help. But I
must explain. The dinner which con
sisted of some thirty courses, was all
served in teacups. Cup followed cup,
each filled with some kind of mince,
*oine in broth and some dry, but all
satisfying a* raspl>erry vinegar. Now
the chopsticks allowed us to ta*te
each one in succe*jon, and though we
were not skill"-! enough to consume
all we might have liked of the few
gixxl, we could toy with the many nas
ty ones and leave them without giving
ofT" n*e. The bird's nest soup with
which we began was negative—a sort
of stringy arrowroot ; but the shark's
lin and fishes maw stewed with ham
were as rank a* conger eel. Quail,
partridge and lobster are good all the
world over, and the bamboo shoots
and wood fungus with which they were
served were n<> bad substitute for as
paragus and mushrooms. But the
stewed seaweed and sinews <tf th
•leer? Had it not b*-n for the excellent
dry champagne, I must have sucruiuti
ed. The last course wa* exquisite,
and brought back memories of the
"Arabian Nights" honey rakes, earth
nuts and sb wed lotus seeds in syrup.
Dinner over, we lit cigars, and strains
of music were heard from the next
room. Two young girls, one of them
dressed as a lmy, sang alternately, ac
companying themselves on a sort of
zither, played, however, not with the
thumb, but a mallet or rather a min
ute halberd. My young Chinaman
apologized for what he called our na
tional caterwauling: hut. though the
notes were thin and shrill, yet instru
ment and voire went so well together*
and the air was so natively plaintive,
that 1 listened with pleasure. There
was an opium pipe in the divan, and
our host, though not a smoker himself,
offered to have a pipe prepared for me. j
The serv ant brought s. small pellet of
opium, which he held over a tlamo till
it Imiled up to a big bubble. It was
tlien put all hot into the liowl, and I
gave as instructed a succession of short,
quick pulls. In a minute it was out,
leaving a sweet, sickly taste in my
mouth, but producing no effect, pleas, i
ant or otherwise, on my nerves. Reg
ular smokers swallow the smoke, and
no doubt that makes a difference.

" Why are you not working at tb

the had hoy. " You haven't been dlt

man laid a little lump of eon rent rated
lye that looked like mapl- sugar, on ft
cake of sugar that had been broken,
knowing the bo y vv <uld nibble it.
"No, sir ; 1 was not discharged, but
when a livery man lends me a kick
ing horse to take my girl out riding,
that settles It. I asked the ta/ss if
I couldn't have a quiet horse that
would drive hisself if I wound the
lines around the whip, and he let me
i have one he said would go all day
without driving. You know how It
is, wh<-n a fellow takes a girl out rid
ing he don't want his mind occupied
holding lines. Well, 1 got my girl in,
and we went out on the Wbitefish Hay
i road, and it was just before dark, and
we nde along under the trees, and 1
] wound the lines around the whip, and
i put one arm around my girl, and pat
t<-d her under the chin with my other
hand, and her mouth looked so good,
blue eyes looked up at me and twinkled
as much as to dare rne to kiss her, and
1 was all of a tremble, arid th'-n my
band wandered around by her ear and
I drew her head up to ine and gave
her a smack. Say, that was no kind
of a horse to give to a young fellow to
take a girl out riding. Just as I
smacked her I felt as though the buggy
had been struck with a pile driver,
and w hen I looked at the horse he was
running away and kicking the buggy,
and the lims were dragging on the
ground. I was scared, 1 tell you. I
w anted to jump out, but rny girJ threw
her arms around my nock and screamed
and said we would die together, and
just as we were going to die, the buggy
struck a fence and the horse broke
loose and went off, leaving us in the
buggy, tumbled d'.wn by the dash
board, but we w< re not hurt. The old
horse stopped and went to chewing
grass, and he locked up at me as
though he wanted to say * phUopeM.'
I tried to catch him, but he woUloß't
catch, and th< n we waited till dark
and walked home, and I told the UvVry
man what I thought of such treat
ment. and he said if I had attended to
my driving and not kissed the girl I
would have been all right. He said I
ought to have told him I wanted a
horse that would not shy at kissing, bdt
how did I know I was going to get ftp
courage to kiss her? A livery mafc
ought to take it for granted that when
a young fellow goes out with a girl he
is going to kiss her. and give him a
horse according. Hut I quit him at
once. 1 won't work for a man that
hasn't got sense. Gosh ! What kind
of maple sugar is that? Jerusalem f
Whew, give me some water. Oh, my,

The grocery man got him some wa

taken the lump of concentrated lye by
mistake, and when the hoy went out
the grocery man pounded bis hands on
