The lltiwrlttl'ii Itulrs That (Initio tint Of
aiern In Matrimonial All'idr.
This regimental family Is, m a rule, by
nn means an Uveloss Kden. Several of tlio
olllcers will probably bo married men, and
the Indies are usually rcoognlul ns mem
bers of the lcglmeiitnl family and nro
quite ns keen as their Husbands to main
tain in every way thu honor and credit of
thu corps. Hie. regiment liken ko feels
that the married ladles belong to It quite
ns much us do their husbands, and out
siders nro occasionally made to repent an
action, possibly unintentional, which has
been construed into a social slight on one
nf those ladles.
In some regiments thu ladles all dine at
mess with their husbands' brother oiliccrs
on Christmas night. In others other little
friendly customs oxlst, Identifying them
with tho corps, and In tho ease of ail rei
mental entertainments the wife of the sen
lor olllcer will, ns a matter of couise, ro
lulve the pnests.
Iilotvuf what I have said above the
rendi r must not run away with tho Idea
that matrimony Is nt all encouraged in the
cavalry. Very fur from It. It is recognized
thnt human frailty Is such that some al
lowance must bo made for senior olllcers,
but tho married subaltern Is not likely to
find himself popular and unless n very
good chap may recolvo a strong hint to
remove himself and his bride to some oth
er regiment.
Tho feeling about mntrlmony mny bo
summed up us follows: The colonel should
bo married a bachelor colonel iu tho mess
Is not ahvay a joy forever; majors, especi
ally If grumpy nnd livery in tho morning,
may bo married; captains should not bo
married, and subalterns must be bachelors,
though, sad to say, they often prove quite
as susceptible as their seniors.
Tho chief reason for this feeling against
matrimony Is that it is bad for the moss.
Married olllcers only pay half tho usual
mess subscriptions through their agents,
nnd as they seldom dine In tho mess tlio
cost of maintaining a proper establishment,
being divisible into fewer parts, falls nioro
heavily on tho bachelor members. Also
the sociability of tho mess suffers, and,
though this is strictly between ourselves,
tho addition of n now lady to tho married
roll of a regiment is not always found to
Increase the harmony of its regimental
life. In somo corps would bo benedicts
hnvo to pay a tine of 100 to tho funds of
the mess as a compensation for their In
tended desertion. A Urltish Olllcer In

Ihe I'resent Itemnrknblo ltevlml of M
illmvnl Superstition.
In Tho Century Daniel G. Hrinton has
an article on "Popular Superstitions of
ICuropo." Dr. nrlnton closes his artlclo
by saying ;
Fiom somo strnngo reason there hns
I'con n wonderful revlvol within tho last
decade of neatly every inodlnjval supersti
tion, under Muiniis guises, In tlio most eu
lightened centers of Vie world. The prac
titioners of thlj modern sorcery, instead of
rniucalllig, advcrtlso tholrelnlms and urge
them on tho community under pi-eudo
sc.lcnlllle names nnd Jargons. Palmistry,
astrology, sympathetic maglo, the doctrine
nf slgn.ttf.ns, hlerotheripelitles nnd ull
tho lanugo of fifteenth century thnUnm
turgy Ilourlsh today in lloston nnd New
York, In Paris and Chicago, to a degree
surpassing anything known throe centuries
ago,
Thero Is n reuson for tills. Sorcery is
science seen upside down Thero Is a con
fused groundwork of truth, n fallacious
method of viewing lucts, nt the basis of
these psoudo sciences. Yot tho truth nnd
tho facts exist, nnd these explain the suc
cess of tho deceptions. They dnzzlo and
daze minds nut trained In sound reasoning.
And how few nro! Tho societies for
"psychical research" and theosoplilo pjico
illation begin with nn acknowledgment
of the possible truth of ghost seeing nnd
of communion with the divine. This pos
sible ground is seized by tho charlatan ns

Superstitions aro at core tho same every

based on those desires and thnt Ignorance
which aro nnd will ever be a part of man's

SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TIKIUIH.ES.
Do Not be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among Americans,
are ccitainly increasing nnd xvhiie this may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
of Ameiican business, it is more often the
result of xveak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart 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 botli organs are
controlled by branches of the same great
nerves, the symiatlietic and 1'neumognstric.
In another xvay, also the heart is affected liy
that form of poor digestion, which causes gas
and fermentation from half digested food ;
there is a feeling of oppression and heaviness
iu the chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs, inter
fering xx-itli their action ; hence arises palpita
tion and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it lliin and watery, xvliich irritates and
weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart trouble
is to improve the digestion and to insure the
prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular use
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and effec
tive digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and xvliich contain x'nluable, harm
less digestive elements in a pleasant, conven
ient form.
It is safo to say that the regular, persistent
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal
time xvill cure any form of stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
