HKAUT MSKASi;.
Some Facts Regaidlng the Rapid In
crease of Heart Ttouble.
Heart trouble, at least among tin
Americans, In certainly Inct easing and
while this may be hugely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, it s inoi-o often the. 10
Milt of weak atomtieh, of poor diges
tion. Real 01 ganlc disease Is Incurable;
but not one case In a hundred of heart
trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs aie controlled by the same
Kteat nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastrle.
In another May, also, the heart Is
infected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
fiom half digested food. Their- Is u
fooling of oppression and heaviness In
tins chest, caused by pressure of tlio
distended stomach on the henrt and
lungs, Interciorlng with their action:
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making It thin und watery,
which Irritates and weukens the heurt.
Tho most sensible treatment for
heart trouble Is to Impiovo tho diges
tion and to Insure the prompt usslm
llntlon of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after incuts of some safe, pleasant und
effective preparation, llko Stuait's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may bo
found at most drug stores, and which
contain valuable, harmles? dlgestho
elements in a pleasant, convenient
lorni.
It Is safe to say that tho regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspeps 11
Tablets at meal thno will cure any
form or stomach trouble except can
cer of tho stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at B0 cents. Little
hook on stomach troubles mailed fieo.

SMUGGLING DEVICES.
Queor Ways by Which Customs Of
Jiceis Aie Evaded Successfully.
troni the Ncw York Tlme.i.
Few evidences of 'human Ingenuity
are inti''o lntotestlng than the delces
Invented almost every day to batlb Hi;
(".ctectho skill of olllcers of etitums.
Tho smuggler Is nowhere more wldo
awake than In th Fulled States,
wheto ho Is at least a mutch for Ids
enemies of tho customs, and there are
tew days when he does not sitcr 'ed
tu cheating th -m out of a f thous
and dollar.
His ehlel object Is to evade the ilu'y
Imp jsocI on Imported diamonds, and 'us
l.n many ways or doing this sue
cetsfully. Hy several Ingenious de-
i'.es lie can disguise tho value of the
diamonds ho Imports, so that stones
which aie worth SloO or $130 a larat
lose at least half their value and are
assjssod for duty ut the lower rale.
Thus, Instead of paying $.".00ii duty on
a parcel of diamonds, he escapes with
a payment of Si.uOo.
The smugglers principal device Is to
mount his diamonds ill tings and
biooches; but bcfoio mounting them
ho gives each stone a thin coating un
the back of brown or yellow atulsh,
thus giving Hie purest white stones
a j.olluwisli tinge und reducing their
vuluo by 30 to- 75 per cent. Another
successful plan is to subject the stones
to heat until the brilliant surface Is
clouded und takes on a dull, gitylsh
unpen runce.
Thu Milttablo stones, thus deprived
of their luster, are mixed with a nuni
bnr of diamonds of tho pool est quality
and ihe entlie parcel Is passed as "rub
bish," at a value of MO.OOO or $13,000
less lluiii thelt actual v orth. A little
polishing sci ns restoics the burnea
..tones to their original luster, with a
los.s of weight which bents no pio
portlon to the amount of money saved
In duty.

time ago a brougham, with an Impos

what ippeared to bean Invalid gen
tleman was stopped at the Porto
Duiiphiiie. Tht brougham had passed
at tho same hour every day for mouths,
until nt lost suspicion was aroused.
On ItivobUcatlon tho customs officers
found that the invalid gentleman was
i .Inc dummy und that the brougham
was full of IngJtilous rccptncles for the
smuggling of alcohol.
