Dug-en From Vloleat Exercise.
There is considerable diversity of
opinion as to the safety with which wo
men may indulge in violent exercise in
view of possible injury. As regard the
heart, there appears to be but one opin
ion namely, that that organ, accus
tomed to a quiet life, may be danger
usly and permanently crippled by the
excessive strain in athletic sports. Ex
perience in medical practice, says an
eminent authority, teaches that the pa
tient with a weak heart must be ex
tremely cautious in his exercises, and
the demonstration of a dilatation of the
healthy heart under sudden, violent,
e xhausting effort which has been made
was of a surprising nature. Many clin
ical obm-rver in (lermauy and in this
"tuiitry have detected t y percussion and
observation (d the change in the heart
lx-ats that there is under strain and exer
tion considerable dilatation, which con
tinues for a shorter or longer time after
the exertion is over. Ocular proof of
this has been afforded by the Roentgen
rays. This shows not only "he need of
caution by those in good healtn, but
more particularly so in the case of those
who suffer from any weakness, consti
tutional or otherwise, in this organ.

Th. Devil Tm.
The devil, dragon or octopus tree, as
it is va-iously called in the different
stories told cf it, is one of those travel
ers' myths which by dint of repetition
have worked their way into public be
lief. The man eating or devil tree is,
recording to the story, a huge plant
somewhat resembling a palm, save that
the central fronds are provided with
rharp teeth, which, when the leaves
are folded over towqrd the center, grasp
with a death crip tie man or animal
- uaiurronate ciiougn to ue incite vwiu-
in. In some of the rtoriee this tree is
also provided with long arms, which
reach out and seize unwary travelers,
raise their bodies in the air and drop
them into the center of the circle of
devouring leaves.
It is hardly necessary to say that
there is no such tree and that the Ftory
has its origin in the dangers of travers
ing a tropical thicket where travelers
have received serious injuries from fall
ing over vines and among thorny plants,
where men are frequently attacked and
killed by serpents. The devil tree is lo
cated by various story tellers in Borneo,
in Sumatra and in the forest recesses cf
other tropical islands, and whenever
inquiry is made for it it is to be found
et;mewkre else. St Louis Globe-Democrat

probably have to wait at least half an

and getting back into it whan they
want to go away. They struggle up

half an hour and then hurry off to the

The accumulation ti rust tm iron ar

process of removing it will be received
with great satitfuctioii by a large num
ber cf person. The following directions
are given: Attach a piece of ordinary
zinc to the articles and then let them
lie in water to which a little s-jlphurio
acid is added. They should t It ft im
mersed for several days or a oe'w, until
the rust has entirely disappeared, the
time depending on how deeply they
were rusted. If there is much rust a
little sulphuric acid shoold be adtVd
txt-a.-i jually. The essential part of the
prxts is that tbe suae mu-rt be iu good
eloctrical txintact with the iron. A good
way ia to twist an iron wire tightly
around the object and connect this with
the zinc, for whHh a remnant of a bat
tery ziL'O is suitable, as it has a binding
post
Besides the simplicity of this process,
it has the graft advantage that the iron
itself is not attacked in the least as long
as the zinc is in good electrical contact
with it Delicate pieces of mechanism
which have become badly rusted can bo
cleaned by wrapping a galvanized wire
around them instead of tae zLuc, in
which case the-acid should not be too
strong. When the rust is all cut off, tho
article will appear dark gray or black.
They must then be thoroughly washed
and oiled. It is well to warm them
slightly when dry so that the oil mny
the more easily sink into the surface.

WILLING EXILES.
Tha English and Americans Are Impor
tant Factors In Paris Life.
Oa and after this date," wrote
Napol'jon I to Fouche, "see that the
English are expelled from Paris."
Such an edict would seem a very
large order at tbe present day, but it
was by no means a small one in Napo
leon's time. What would the Purie-of
today be without its English colony?
From Sir Edmund Monsou, our embas
sador, to the pale boy who files the
English journals at Neal's library iu
tbe Rue Castigli.uw the Engiieh are
very important factors in Parisian lifa
There has been an English colony in
the French capital for many centuries,
yet one might search in vain for a sim
ilar French colony in London. Tbe
Leicester and Soho square districts, al
though ownsng to a large French popu
lation, possess hardly a trace of the
flavor or mien that distinguishes the
quarter the English frequent in Paris,
and it is not a fifth the size.
To speak broadly, Paris has within
its walled borders a little Loudon of
many thousand persons not squalid
and impoverished, but boasting splen
did mansions, fine shops, hotels,
churches, bospitaU and libraries, and
all these to such aa extent that it is
difficult to believe one ia not ia tho
British capital itself.
The inhabitants of this colony might
roughly be catalogued as follows: Re
tired peoplo and gentlefolk w ho have
ecn better days, those who desire to
have their children educated in tho lan
guage, business people, authors, artists,
students, journalist and professional
men, those who bave the best of private
reasons for living out of England and
cranks, which term includes certain in
dividuals who for some cause or other
have developed a feeling of hatred for
tbe land of their birth. Nearly all are
exiles of their own accord.
On Sunday the elite of the English
colony turns out to the Church of the
Embassy in the Rued'Aguesseau. Here
for a number of years Dr. Naves, who
was formerly a Leytonstone incumbent,
has preached, and here a collection bag
goes regularly round, and ia as regular'
ly returned in a condition of compara
tiva emptiness. For your Englishman
of the English colony is either in a con
elition to help largely support the church
and docs or else gives nothing at alL
One thing must be said about the
English and Americans who go to Paris.
Tbey support the city. Without their
patronage there is scarcely a big shop
on the boulevards th.it would not close
its doors within a few months. London

SPAIN'S LOSING GAME.
Things Which Hare Slipped From Ber
Grasp la Three Hundred Tears.
Macaulay drew this picture of the
power of Spain 300 years ago:
The empire of Philip Ilwasundoubt
edly one of the most powerful and
splendid that ever existed in the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that during
several years his power over Europe
was greater than even that of Napoleon.
In America his dominions extended on
both sides of the equator into the tem
perate zona There is reason to believe
that his annual revenues amounted, ia
the season of his greatest power, to
sum ten times as large as that which
England yielded to Elizabeth. , He bad a
staudiag army of 50,000 troops when
England did Lot have a single battalion
in constant pay. He held, what no oth
er prince in modern times has held, th
dominion both of the land and tbe sea.
During the greater part of bis reign he
was supreme on both elements. His sol
diers marched np to the capital of
France; his slaps menaced tbe snores of
England. Spain had what Napoleon de
sired in vain ships, colonies end com
merce.
She long monopolized the trade of
America and of the luiun uwm.
the gold of tbe west and all the spices
of the east were received and distribut
ed by ber. Even after the defeat of the
armada English statesmen continued
to look with great dread on the mari
time power of Philip. Whoever
wishes to be well acquainted with tho
morbid anatomy of governments, who
ever wishes to kniiw how great states
may be made feeble and wretched,
should study the history of Spain. Ex

A Fausaas Apple Tree.
The American Cultivator says that
the original greening apple tree is still
standing on the farm of Solomon
Drowue at Mount Hyge-ia in North
Foster, R. L The tree was a very old
one when the farm was sold in 1801
The seller informed the purchaser that
it was a pity the old tree was going
into decay, as it produced the best fruit
of any tree in the orchard. The pur
chaser determined to see bow long be
could keep it alive, and it still survives,
after almost another century has been
added to its venerable years. But it
shows signs of final decay, and the par
ent of all the famous Rhode 'Island
greenings which has set its grafts on
the orchards of almost all the world,
will soon be but a neighborhood memo
ry. It is doubtful if there is a more fa
mous apple tree to be found in all Po
mona's groves from end to end of the
rarth.
Keeae'a Quarter Cigar.
Tom Keene was a good story teller.
"For ten years, " so went one of bis
tales, "1 bought all my theatrical cos
tumes from one dealer, and as during
much cf that time I was playing many
new parts in tbo old California theater
stock company of San Francisco my
trade was a matter of considerable im
portance. When I was about to leave
the slope and come east, I went to make
a final order and bid my costumer good
by. 'I'm very sorry you're going, 'bo
said. 'Here. Jake !' calling to a clerk.
'Run out sad get Mr. Keene a good
quarter of a dollar cigar. '
"As Jakv started my costumer whis

Promptly Want oo the Stomp The
Cnmpalim to Open With a Ban of
Bl Gtina at Plttttbur and to Be
Tail of Speech Making.
(Ppeelul Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Aug-. . "I suppose I
will have to plead guilty to originating
one expression In the political lan
guaire of the country, although I don't
give utterance to it," said the Republi
can candidate for governor the other
day. Colonel Stone Is temporal lly so
journing at Atlantic City, but comes
up to town frequently. While the cam
paign will not be formally opened un
til the second week of September, when
the State League of Republican clubs
meet at Pittsburgr. the party enthusi
asm has declined to await on formal
ities this year, and the calls for Colonel
Stone have been so frequent that he
will have but little time outside of his
own state between now and the elec
tion. He has alwavs been a good cam
paigner, since he began making Re
publican speeches before he was of age,
and his remark quoted above had ref
erence to this phrase, "offensive par
tisanship." which he was the occasion
for President Cleveland to embalm
among the modern classics of political
expression. Colonel Stone was the origi
nal offensive partisan. He happened to
be United States district attorney for
the western district of Pennsylvania
when the state campaign of lsfcf. came
on. and In pursuance of President
Cleveland s attempt to emasculate as
many leading Republicans as possible,
received an Intimation that If he did
not display offensive partisanship,
which is to sav if he would sit on the
fence and let his party ticket look out
for Itself, he could retain his office.
That Is Just what he didn't do. He
went on the stump at the first call from
the state committee, and President
Cleveland promptly exacted the pen
aity by pu'ting a man in his place
who jartisanship. being Democratic,
was presumably Innocuous.
If the president had wanted a va
cancy In that office he could not have
devised a better way to get It. for one
look at the head and neck that top out
the gigantic figure of the present Re
publican candidate for governor Is
enough to Indicate that he Is not well
built for taking orders front anybody.
He Is deliberate In the extreme in
making up his mli:d. as is usually the
habit with farm bred men. who like
to roll a subject over from one end of
the furrow to the other and bark again,
but he doesn't sub-let the contract to
anybody else, and his convictions will
all stand without being hitched.
He comes naturally by his disposi
tion, with New England blood on the
one side of his ancestry, and Pennsyl
vania German on the other. His father,
although only a 60 acre farmer, a poor
man all his life, was the general trust
officer of the neighborhood, and for iO
years before his death nobody Iu the
iownshlo thouKht of making a will
without getting him to write It. and p
polntlng him executor of the etate. Ha
was naturally, of course, a man who
liked lo be the head of his own house
hold, and so. when the present candi
date for eoverr.or, at the are of 15.
went after the cows one night and
didn't come bac. but followed his two
oldr brothers to the army Instead, the
old gentleman promptly went after him
and got him discharged. But he shortly
discovered what President Cleveland
found out In IMS. that whether It was
his country or his party that he
thought needed his services, his son
couldn't be neia buck. St 'nan only a.
short time till he ran away and en
listed again, and this time his father
concluded he might as well let him go,
He showed the same independent
spirit in the matter of his first nomlna
tion for congress. The delegates had
been elected In the Interest of the then
sitting member. Colonel Thomas M.
Bayne. but at the last moment h
astonished everybody by declining a
renomlnation, and turned It over to
Colonel Stone, who had not previously
been mentioned aa a candidate. There
had been no contest, and tbe district
was so overwhelmingly Republican that
any dissatisfaction which might have
arisen from this unusual circumstance
would have had no effect on the re
suit, but Colonel Stone promptly de
rllned to receive a nomination on any.
body else s credit, and went Into new
primaries and won out on his own
strength.
One of the best descriptions of how h
Impresses people an a campaigner, by
the way. appeared In the iscranton Trl
bune last week, as follows:
"Colonel Stone, the Republican nom.
Inee for governor, is not a popinjay.
nor a poeur, as those who met him
yesterday can attest He Is a modest
straightforward and unassuming man.
who without any flourishes Impresses)
ths observer with his reserve strength
and his sincerity. No man who looks
him steadily in the eyea or takes care
ful measure of his words and manner
will depart from his presence with a
feeling of skepttetsm as to his Integ.
rity or his moral courage. The clean
grit and stubborn fiber of the obscure
Tioga county farmer boy who workel
hie way to the front by sheer dint of
persevering ntudiousness and Industry
Is In him yet and also the candor and
the total absence of vain pretension.
"Colonel Stone Is not an orator and
does not try to lie. Those who shall
go to hear him during the ensuing;
campaign w ith the expectation of hear
ing a thrilling exercise In word Jugglery
w-Jll be disappointed, because he is not
that kind of a man. In speech he often
becomes eloquent, but It is the rugged
eloquence of honest earnestness, with
out a suggestion of stage play or make
believe. His meeting with the people
is hand to hand and face to face, en
tirely candid and unaffected. He In
dulges in no theatric Attempts to win
applause or capture popular favor, lit
says his say with homely dliectnesj
end his hearers are then le.'t to Judg
or It for themselves.
"It Is evident that Colonel Stone's
brief visit to this region wUm.a U
merely preliminary that the Republi
can candidate for governor will grow
steadily upon the public respect and
confidence the more he meets the peo
ple of tbe commonwealth. In his pres
ence the electorate will be conscious.
not of the hysteria which is a pre
dominant characteristic of the various
ao-caJled reform movements of the day.
nor of the semi-humorous thimble rig-
rrlng which seems to be Inseparable
from the Pennsylvania Democracy
since tbe death of Samuel J. Randall,
but it will experience Instead the tran
quillity of assurance which comes from
confident mastery of the situation. It
will come to realize ere the campaign
Is ended that In Colonel Stone we are
to bave a governor fit to face the full
measure of the solemn responsibilities
of the office."
Mt Republicans In the state will
have a chance to verify this descrip
tion for themselves between now and
November, for this Is going to be an
active stumping campaign, and when
It opens in Pittsburg next month Jt
will open with a bang of big guns.
While there is a general feeling of con
fidence that It will be as easy as Porto
Rico, there is an equally general feel
ing, inside and outside of the state,
that In Pennsylvania, as In Porto Rico,
for the sake of the moral effect the vic
tory ought to be majestically large anl
decisive.
