Life begins ui the heart and its last signs areno be observed in that organ, That ,its to say, the visible, the tangible signs of life to the eye or to the senses generally are evinced by some movements or appearances about the heart. In order that the heart shall continue its action many conditions must be fulfilled. The nervous supply most be in good order, its blood must be furnished in is regular and systematic manner,. its Valves must open and shut wtth a fear degree of completion and certainty, while its illustrator wells must preserve their healthy condition. Con- sidering the many circumstances that may interfere with the proper working of this great foroe-pump it is really surprising that there should be so little disease affecting it and bringing life to is sudden close. Spaoe is looking to give a complete sketoh of the consequences of valvular disease of the heart, but one result must be pointed out. The heart having more work to do than normally grows—hypertrophies—in order to keep up with It. So long as the growth increases in proportion to the work there is to do it is all right, but when the work be- comes too great and the blood. accumulates until the heart muscle stretches and becomes thinner, then dilatation has taken place and is condition of great danger threaten& A little unusual exertion sends an extra amount a blood to the thinned and weak- ened heart, which becomes suddenly para- lyzed and sudden death results. DISEASE OF VIE GltaAT VESSELS. t sudden deaths in diseases of the heart are usually due to something different from the valvular diseases just noticed. In mid - die and advanced life the heart and arteries are alibi acted to a condition of degeneration in which the valves shrink and the blood tubes become rigid, while there is a deposit of chalky material which makes them very brittle. The valves between the left ventri- cle of the heart and the entrance of the aorta—the first and greatest artery—are especially apt to become shrunken and un- able to keep the blood in the artery after it had been sent there by the contraction of She heart. Hence, more or less of it drops tank into the heart as soon as the latter re- lixes after its contraction. The blood in- stead of going to the head to nourish the brain, falls backward and leaves the brain bloodless—arm:tic—in the condition of an individual who faints. ' When this happens to an old parson who is unable to help himself and place himself in is proper position to avail himself of the force of gravity to restore the blood to the head, the results. may he extremely grave. Large nunabers of cases of sudden death are thus brought about and referred to heart diseases without any clear understandine as to how they were produced or may have been prevented. It is for tne reason here indicated—the suddenly applied force of gravity --that it is extremely dangerous for this class of patients suddenly to assume the erectposture from tlae reclining position, and that such patients should not be left entire. 17 alone at any time. It is in this same class that are to be seen those cases of so-called aughwecectoris, which suddenly removes its victims inthe midst of great agony- There is undoubtedly more than one variety of this formidable efiliotion. One seems to be due to the sud- den shutting off of blood from the muscular walls of the heart, due to closure of the en- trances of the two coronary arteries which supply it. The sudden starvation seems to cause the intense neuralgic pain. ANKURISMAL DANGERS. But the heart is not tne only organ that suffers from the degeneration just referred to. The large and medium sized arteries also become softened first, then hardened and brittle. In the sofeened condition (fatty degeneration or atheroma), the great vesales are prone to dilate and form tumors containing blood, which go on enlarging as long as there is room for them to increase in size, finally bursting and causing detth by hemorrhage. Should the bloocniurnor or aneurism burst into one of the great cavities coagulated blood, moving lazily through the great cavities of the heart, finds time and opportunity to form a clot, whinh fills the great artery going to the lungs. The come- quenoe of this is, no blood goes to the lungs to be eubmitted to the action of the air— breathing is useless—and the sufferer per- ishes as ,if shut up in an apartment from which the air lute been exhausted. Acci- dents of this kind are very rare but are not always fatal when they coma, The "heart clog" may be but small and fill but one of the arteriea going to the lungs. The other lung being free to perform ite duty, the clot depoeited is taken up by absorption after a time, and all is again well. But if the great artery should become clogged completely at some point before it divides into one each for the right and left lung, mind moves slowly a.s his body would, which distblguiahes him from other American statesmen. At least stioh of them RS 1have met are brisk and nimble, and also 'voluble. Mr. Cleveland seema to me a man who will only speak when he has something to say, and will also take time to think before he acts; but, having made up his mind, I should expect him to stick to it, What- ever he be, he is not a weak man, and he needs a strong will to stand where he does. Of course, our conversation was largely about Amerioa, what had brought us to it, and what we had seen of it. He strongly recommended me to go west, at least as far as St, Paul's and Minne- apolis. There, he said, I could see the Intensity and eneegy of life here far better than in any eastern State; but he thought then death must necessarily be eudden and they were going just a little too fast.

This is the way many oases of remarkable sudden death are brought about. These are all called " deaths itora heart disease," of course. It is true that the aneurism may be located so as to involve the heart itself, but this is un- usual. The great artery, the aorta is the most frequent seat of the trouble, and it is not is very uncommon one. When aneurisms oecur in the chest or abdomen they frequently attain is large size, becrause of the density of the structures involved 8,nd the size of the arteries which give them origin. In the smaller vessels, as in those at the bane of the brain, they never attain a large size, but Coin does not prevent them from being of the very greatest importance. Not only may they cause hopeleets disablement when they do not kill, but they may lead to death, which may come on as suddenly as if it were brought about ny the lighnitig's stroke.

It is the same condition present in surgical "shock" when the latter is not due to hemorrhage. In conclusion: Sudden death is due usually to some dis- ease of the heart, great vessels or brain. It is not so common as is generally suppos- ed. It is not to be feared so much as long and lingering illness. It is not generally preventable.

By that monarch it was ordained, under se- vere penaltiera when the curfew bell rang at 8 o'clock in the evening all lights and fires should be extinguished. There are those who hold that this was merely the enforcing of an existing and very common police reg- ulation to that affect. The absolute prohi- bition of lights after the ringing of the cur- few bell was abolished by Henry I., in the year 1100 but the practice of tolling a bell at a fixed hour in the evening was continued and this, which is still extant in sorae placea, is is survival of the curfew of mediteval times. At first the common hour was 7 o'clook, then it was gradually advanced to 8, and in some places to 9 o'clock ; indeed, in Scotland, 10 o'clock was not an unusual hour. The curfew was a regulation most useful in those early days, when it was the custom to place the fire in a hole 'in the middle of the floor, under SR opening in the roof, to allow the escape of smoke. When the family retired for the night, tho fire, was extinguished by covering it up; hence the term couvrefeu, or curfew. The rev- lation WRS also serviceable in obliging the women to keep in their houses, and thus preventing night brawls in the street. lt is believed there is no historical authority for the popular tradition that the severity ex- hibited by the Conqueror, in enforcing obe- dience to the °newly, was most particularly designed to prevent the gnglish from assem- bling in secret to plan schemes el rebellion agamat their Norman lords.

This brought hiln into oonneotion with the railways, then beginning to stir the community, and an idea naturally :mg- gest.d itself of combining hie maps and plane into is little manual which should contain the hours of departure, arrival, and stop. pages of the few trains then working, and which, being offered at the low price of threepenoe, Might be is convenience to the traveler. The rnateriala for his work Brad- shaw obtained, as they are now obtained, fr°Minr•EL. the Cornfirlanniecahard, who in his time has played many parts, and was early cow:tensed in the venture, tells us that the companies wore at first vehemently opposed to the scheme, and, in their niggard way, refused to supply their tables on the ground that this would make punctuality a sort of ob- ligation, and that failure would bring pen- alties. C. Bradshaw, however was not to be re. pulsed, and by various devices, notably by taking many Owes, brought over the hostile companies, The success of his little manual encouraged our Quaker to experiment with another form of his venture. In the following year he brough b out what he called Bradshato's ,Railroad Com- panion, a tiny book, neatly bound in violet cloth, with is gold device in the center, and in size about four inches by three. The matter contained in it is virtually the same as that in the "time -tables." Barely a dozen railways are described.

Oollege Athleticism, New York Mail and Express: A commit- tee of the Harvard Faculty have lately carried through an elaborate investigation ot the amours c of attention given to athletics, 8,nd the effect upon the more important work of the college. Each student was salted to give confidential replies to a aeries of questions, and from these au elaboregs report has been prepared giving the history of athletics in the college and statistics showing their relation to success in sillily. The conclusion's reached by the report are So the effect that athletic contests contribute to a favorable condition of physical exer- cise, but that the present system of inter- collegiate contests, good as in some respects / it is, conceded to be, interferes with the regular college work by interrupting at- tendance, by raking time from studies and by preventing the growth of a university spirit. The moral effect of the contests upon those who take part in them is pronounced mainly good. The larger number of abuses alleged to exist are declared to have no ex- istence ; and the opinion is ettnressed that of the ad nitted evils incident to the inter- collegiate character of the contest; hardly any would be rentoved by a prohibition of awl centesis.
