We often hear of broken hearts, v.nd usually with a smile of incredulity, as though such a thing were not possible. Medical science has discovered thfct a literally broken heart is by no iuynn> as uncommon us one might fancy, A physician was recently called to a pa- | tient, a lady of middle age, who had ex perienced a severe shock. He found her dead, and as there was some discussion t as to the cause of death an autopsy was ! held, revealing the fact that the heart had burst at one side. Heart failure us a 1 cause of death is about as satisfactory as to say "one dies for lack of breath,' heart failure being merely a result of clearly defined conditions. Broken hearts can easily be brought about by a diet of sweetmeats, with a free use of fermented liquors. These weaken the tissues of the heart, and pave the way for a sudden dissolution. It has been supposed that fatty degeneration of tin heart was an incurable disease, hut this is another popular error, as such con ditions are positively curable by a suit able diet and proper medical treatment. SOME weeks ago Miss Stonert, a well known dressmaker of Youngstown, <>.. was told about a surprise party being held in the neighborhood and of the many valuable presents brought to the house by friends. "Oh, it's so nice," she remarked. "I wish they would sur prise me and bring me a pair of bloom ers." Some of the lady's feminine ac quaintances heard of this and got to gether to surprise the maiden and carry out the wish she had expressed. Twenty of the young women got together the other evening. Each had taken as a present a pair of bloomers, and the young lady to be surprised was invited to a neighbor's house. First one and then another of the guests would arise and make a presentation speech to the maiden, who was very much overcome by surprise and joy. She was aided in t iking home her apparel. PRIVATE wealth is put to better uses in this country than anywhere else. This is so because it ought to be so. The influence of our democratic insti tution is to develop a larger and freer public spirit. individual generosity must here do the work accomplished elsewhere by royal revenues and pub lic funds. The absence of laws of promigeniture removes one incentive to the preservation intact of great prop erties, in order that family name and prestige may survive and increase. Public opinion sharply associates the possession of great wealth with a duty to the public. An intelligent appre hension of the true significance of our institutions forces a recognition of this duty; if one generation ignores it, the next encounters it in accentuated form. A NEW YORK city paper says that a ragged and bewhiskered individual stopped Cluiuncey Depew on Fifth avenue the other day and asked for a dime, lie was given a quarter, and after thanking Mr. Depew said: "Ma\ I ask you who you are, sir?" In a rather confidential tone Mr. Depew an swered: "I am Grover Cleveland, pros ident of the United States; and whoaf you?" "Me?" said the mendieant in a tone of surprise and disdain, "I'm Chauncey Depew, president of the New j York Central railroad." No aphides or other germs on that hobo's intellect that are noticeable. THE reports say that about $200,000.- 000 is the estimate by careful author ities of the world's production of gold during the year 1895. The figure last year was $180,000,000, an increase of $23,000,000 over 1893. In three years tlie world's stock of gold has been in creased by $537,000,000 and the stream of fresli gold from the mines grows larger und larger. And yet the average man doesn't know that there is such a tremendous increase. In fact some don't know that there is any gold in the world ut all. 1 A WOMAN at Old Orchard, Me., has succeeded in making quite a pet of a humming-bird. The little creature has become perfectly domesticated, and has been allowed to fly in and out the house at pleasure by a window that has pur posely been left open. It is a house hold pet. By night it perches on a piece of clothes line strung in the kitchen, and on rainy days flutters about the plants and flowers in the house. Ladies, c.'ou't forget to see the dress goods at A.

Even This Great Force May Ho Un able To Cope with the Lawless Mountaineers—Their Outrages on the Increase—Turkey Hampered by Lack of Money. Constantinople, Nov. 13.—The lawless ness of the Kurds in the Eastern prov inces has grown measurably since the demands for reforms w ere made upon the sultan by Great Britain, France and Russia. The sultan's evident inclina- j tion to refuse to grant'the demands, or ' at least to defer giving a definite answer to the representative of the powers, en- ; con raged the Kurds to believe that the sultan tacitly supported them in their attacks upon the Armenians. Color has j been lent to this belief by the action of the sultan in giving good service decora tions t • several officials who are notori ously i i favor of exterminating the Ar menians and who gave their sanction to the massacres that have led Turkey to the verge of dismemberment. The Kurds have assumed such an attitude of dis regard of all authority that it is believed 1 here that the officials are now powerless ! to stop them from continuing their mas- ! sacreing and pillaging. Anarchy in the Eastern Provinces. Adv ces from the eastern provinces j show that the condition of anarchy is i such that a very strong force will have i to ho employed if any progress at all is j to be made against the Kurds. The portc | apparently understands this fact, for it is announced to-day that 120,0U0 troops i will be sent against the Kurds. Should j the latter offer resistance it is doubtful : if eve.t this force would be sufficiently ! strong to cope with the Kurds, whose 1 intimate knowledge of the mountainous | country would stand them in good stead J in opposing the Turkish troops. Turkey in Noel of Money. In spite of the bad financial condition . of the government, which is now in ar- j rears in the pay of the reserves already j culled out, it has been decided to sum- I moil more of the reserves for service. It j is doubtful if the government's scheme can be affected owing to the scarcity of money, but, at any rate, the attempt will be made, owing to the continued de- i mauds of the powers that the porte re store order forthwith. Whole Districts Devastated. Stories of the ravages committed by the Kurds continue to be received hero. It is said that in Er/.eroum and Sivus whole districts have been devastated by the marauding Kurds. A traveler who has arrived tit Trebi/ond from Er/.eroum states that when he was approaching Baiburt he met 800 women, who in their extremity knelt before him and implored protection, declaring that their hus bands, fathers ami brothers had been Killed and that there were uo males of their race who could stive them from cither dishonor or death. Revolt of the Druses. The revolt of the Druses in Hauras is ; assuming a most serious aspect. The agitation against the authorities is ex tending and the rebels are gaining many accessions. An official dispatch that has been made public says that, thanks to the energetic measures that have been taken by the imperial officials, the dis turbances and revolts which occurred in certain provinces of Asia Minor, and which had their origin in the seditious intrigues of Armenian agitators, have been everywhere suppressed and order restored ill till the districts which were recently the scene of riots and conflicts. Measures have been taken to ensure that peace will be maintained. TROLLEY I. XTEN SI ON. New Jersey Lines To Connect by Ferry Willi Ktnlon Island. Elizabeth, N.

SKULL OF RICHELIEU. Recently Drought to Light from Jin Rout lug Place in Paris* Among the tombs which w ere violated (luring the French revolution was that of Richelieu, in the Church of the Sor bonne. The rest of the remains of the famous cardinal wore scattered to the four winds, but the head was recovered, and was concealed by a hatter named Cheval. After the turmoil of the revolution had subsided, Cheval, fearing trouble on account of liis theft, conlided the skull to Abbe Armcz, in whose family he served until 1866. On December 25 of that year the head of the cardinal was solemnly reintcrred in the original tomb, opened for the occasion in the presence of M. Duruy, minister of public instruction; Mgrs. Darboy, HEAD OF CARDINAL RICHELIEU. [Lately exhumed at tho Sorbonne ] I Maret and Pcrraud; and of M.

But even this deficiency may, on tho contrary, be taken as proof of genuine ; aess, for in the painting of Philip do I bampaigne, representing Richelieu on | his deathbed, the dying man wears neither beard nor mustache, FIGHT WITH A BEAR. The Man Who Had It Never Wahtod Another. It W*H a Haml-to-Hand Encounter and Hi uiii lluil a Hooil Chance lo Win Until He Wan Brained ly Ills Plucky Opponent. Mr. ,T. H. Bower, of Coqulna, gives an interesting account in the Jacksonville (Flu.) Times-Union, of a fight he had with a bear a good many years ago. Florida was in a more primitive slate in those days, especially the southeast coast, where, as now, lie lived, t hough at that time he had no family, and was living in a little house on a piece of gov ernment land, which lit afterward liomesteaded, and where at the present time he has a flourishing orange grove, and is surrounded by many modern conveniences. It was a beautiful December morn ing way back in the seventies that ho started with a friend of his on a trip up Indian river. "Such a morning," he say s, "was an ideal one, and not easily forgotten. From the deck of our boat I could see Sand point, twenty-five miles distant, where Titusville is now situated, while to the south the shores loomed up until one could sec miles upon miles, so that objects ordi narily beyond the. range of vision could be distinctly seen. "It was while we were thus admiring beau; cs of the day that 011 the island shore a huge black bear came in sight, nuihing his way down a steep ledge of rocks, from which he suddenly tumbled Into the water and struck out boldly for the opposite shore, one and a half miles distant. The wind being light it was a mat ter of impossibility to cut him of? with the boat, so running ashore 1 seized n hatchet 1 had on board and hastened to the point toward which the bear was heading. Concealing my self, I waited impatiently, pi.tuning as host I could my method of attack. Luckily for me, the shore at that place was steep and rocky, and in order to ascend at all the bear was compelled to draw himself up by his forefeet until footing could be had below, and it was while lie was thus engaged that I sprang out suddenly, and with nil my iiii n TIIE BEAU TURNED ON MR.

"In this, however, I was not success ful, and received in return a slap upon 1 he arm that sent my weapon flying from my grasp, and before I had time lo look or think old Bruin was upon his back in the water below, having been unable to sustain his weight while warding off my blow. I shall not for get the ugly teeth and jaws and blood shot eyes as now, with desperate rage, he turned upon me. For a second J wished I had not come, and with des perate haste I clutched a light wood limb I found at my feet. Just what transpired 1 can hardly tell, but in the end 1 know 1 brained that boar. My friend, the captain, reached me just in time to see the job completed. 1 have killed lots of theiu and have stood ?ny ground in the face of desperate foes, but never in my life did 1 light, for life as during the struggle with that bear, for when the fighting was over and old Bruin lay dead at the foot of the cliff I found myself almost destitute of clothing and covered with wounds and bruises. "I need not tell you that I have had 110 desire from that day to this to try another hand-to-hand scuffle with a bear. The stories of their cowardice as related by old hunters to the con trary notwithstanding, for when once cornered and rendered furious with a de sire to escape, their pugilistic qualities, with which nature has freely endowed them, render them at once the most dif ficult to overcome and dangerous to en counter, ami 1 would he willing to ven ture the assertion, as I remember saying at the time, that 110 pugilist ever lived t lint could anticipate the movement of a bear, and if once fairly on his feet to strike, or even touch, him is more than any mortal man could ever do.
