Hearts Do Rrenk.
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.

11 Sill AROUSED'
Will Send 120,000 Troops
Against the Kurds.
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.

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,

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

might endeavored to brain him at a
single blow.
"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. Well,
we skinned the old fellow and had moat
and oil enough to last the whole winter,
llis skin I used for n bed when out upon
camping expeditions, and many a pleas
ant nap I took upon the sliugg.v coat
that was once worn by the most fero
cious brute I ever met."

A lawsuit lias taken place in a Rus
sian oily in which German is the pre
vailing language. A man sued another
to recover fifty rubles, the debtor hav
ing promised to return the money on
St. Ilenry's day. Having failed to do
so for a long time, the lender discov
ered that the Russian Orthodox church
includes 110 such saint as St. Henry.
The judge before whom the ease was
tried was much puzzled as to the proper
verdict. The idea finally oceured to
him that, saint or 110 saint, All Saints'
day included even the most, doubtful,
so he gave judgment that the rubles
must be returned 011 next All Saints'
day.
