Heart to Heart
Talks
By CHARLES N. LURIE
WHEN THE IIEART^TOPS.
Telling of his exi>erimeuts with a
Hew sort of respirator, a New York
physician asserts that hearts which
had ceased to pulsate for twenty-three
minutes have been made to beat anew.
It has been thought that when the
heart stops beating life is dead. It no
longer sends the vital fluid circulating
through the body. Respiration and
other functions cease.
But now come the modern surgeons.
With hands of wizardry they reach
into the cardiac cavity and set the
heart to beating again. Unless actual
death of the tissues has supervened.
Ilf* may come back to the body.
That Is bodily resurrection. But—
Suppose the figurative heart, the
center of the mental organism, stops
beating. In other words, suppose the
hope which animates the human belli-;
seems to die. Can it lie set to going
again?
Just when the death of hope comes
no one can tell. Probably never.
Go among the sodden "down and
outs” of the big cities, lined up per
haps in the “bread line," and hold out
to them the prospect of a resurrection
of their worldly fortunes. You will
see the eye lighten and the back
straighten.
Hope is not dead even there, you see.
Pass into the house of wealth where
sorrow visibly expressed tells of a
loved one taken away by death. Speak
as the Master spoke of the sure resur
rection, and. if yon speak in such wise
as to carry conviction to the heart,
hope will he rekindled in the mournful
breast.
There also hope has not died.
In fact, the physical restoration of
the heart to its functions is a miracle
not greater than the reawakening of
hope. As the physician of the body
may bring it back from the very brink
of the grave, so may the physician of
the soul, if properly equipped, restore
its life.
Go to your Bible to read the words
of Him who said;
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest."
Is not that rest the reawakening of
the hope of the heart?

OTHERS AND YOURSELF.
"Be not angry tliut you cannot make
others what you wish them to be, since
you cannot make yourself what you
wish to be.”
Words of wisdom from Thomas
Kempls, the churchman of the fifteenth
century, who wrote a "little book*
that is still read and is accounted
among the world's great storehouses
of wisdom.
How soothingly his words fall on the
ear of the person impatient with in
ferlority and wrongdoing!
Let us try to analyze them.
First “Be not angry that you can
not make others what you wish them
to be.”
Some of us have wished that we
could remold the world nearer to the
heart's desire, as Omar Khayyam says,
and many of us have desired to work a
change in those about us.
When we are embittered by their
opposition or infuriated by their stu
pidity. what would we not give to be
able to make them what we wish
them to be! How easy it would be if
we could only make them see things as
we view them or convince them that
we are in the right and they are in the
wrong!
So certain are we of ourselves!
There is the self confidence that is
good, for it lends strength to the arm
and keenness to the brain in doing the
work that must be done. Such is the
self reliance that is founded on the
strong rock of consciousness of right.
No storms of opposition should be per
mitted to shake it.
But there is also the self confidence
which is mistaken and which is merely
stubbornness in the wrong. That is
the spirit which makes us wish to
make others what we want them to
be, heedless of our own shortcomings.
For is it not true that we cannot
make ourselves what we wish to be?
We know well what we should like
to be. but we permit our limitations
to bar the way. We know, for exam
ple. that the attainment of a certain
end requires the exercise of Industry
and unremitting effort, but we go in
our old, slothful, unavailing way—un
til the golden time of opportunity Is no
more.
We see the light of righteousness
and willfully blind ourselves to It
That is the weakness of our human na
ture.
We should not be angry, therefore,
because we cannot remodel the world
and its conditions and our neighbors
to suit ourselves, since In our hearts
we know that it Is hard to bring our
selves to make progress toward the
goal of perfection which ilea before

WORRIED THE WAITER.
JKltri Hie New Improvement on an Old
Practical Joke.
“Yes." suiil the head waiter, "I've
peon the butt of all the practical
jokes that harve been invented to
make us people look foolish. The
overturned pocket iuk bottle with
Ihe black enameled spot caught me
twice, and 1 signed the pledge di
rectly after l was fooled by one of
those rubber bulb arrangements by
which dishes are made to rock up
and down. But the other day 1 all
but bad u tight on my hands v. lien
a fellow put one over on mo with
one of the oldest tricks on the mar
ket.
“He came in with a cigarette in
his mouth, sat down at a table near
a window and began studying the
menti card. 1 happened to be
watching him. Presently lie took
the cigarette out of his mouth and
laid it on the tablecloth beside him.
I saw a red glint on the tip, hat 1
wasn’t going to be taken in by one
of those fake lighted cigarettes that
sell on tiie streets for h nickel, so 1
turned away.
“in a minute 1 looked naek and
saw him in the act of picking it
up. Smoke was curling up from
the lighted end! Then I went over
to the man hot foot and asked him
what he meant by putting a lighted
cigarette on the tablecloth. 1 told
him it would cost him $1 for n new
cloth.
“Well, he just looked tip at rae
and smiled and said, ‘Tall guy!’ and
explained that it was really n
very simple matter. Ho had dipped
the tip of the cigarette in muriatic
acid before coming in and then
moistened his finger from a small
bottle of ammonia that lie carried
with him. When the ammonia was
brought near the acid it made
smoke, and naturally I thought
there was fire. L wonder what the
next one will be.” New 'l ork
Times.
The Alert Censor.
While Abdul Hamid was still
upon the throne of Turkey, the
president of the American Mission
ary college at Tarsus sent to New
York for a large consignment of
textbooks. In due time all except
the chemistries came safely. At
first the president could not find
out what was the matter, but finally
the commissioner of the port sent
for him.
“Christian,” he said sternly, “it
is not for you to complain. It is for
you to give thanks to Allah that y u
did not follow your diabolical books
into the flames. Here is one copy
that we saved for a witness. Not
all of its deadly ciphers could we
read, hut this is plain even to Ibe
eve of a babe.” Pointing to the
symbol 11 0. lie read with trium
phant air arid voice, “Hamid Second
[g Nothing!”
Dickens’ Ideal Bedrooms.
Dickens, who traveled much and
suffered many bedrooms, gave spe
cial regard to the equipment of the
guests’ sleeping apartments in ins
famous home, Gad’s Hill. In
“Charles Dickens as I Knew Him,"
Charles Dolby records: “Each of
these rooms contained the most
comfortable of beds, a sofa, an easy
chair, cane bottomed chairs —in
which Mr. Pickens has great belief,
always preferring to use one him
self —a large sized writing table,
profusely supplied with paper and
envelopes of every description and
*n almost daily change of new quill
nens. There was a miniature libra
ry of books in each room, a com
fortable tire in winter, with shining
copper kettle in each fireplace, and
on a side table cups, saucers, tea
caddy, teapot, sugar and milk.”
Pins and Needles.
What becomes of all the pins that
are annually turned out in millions
of millions by the pin factories?
A Paris scientist, Dr. Xavier, has
been experimenting on pins, hair
pins and needles by the simple proc
ess of watching a few. He states
that they practically disappear into
thin air by changing into ferrous
oxide, a brownish rust that soon
blows away in dust. An ordinary
hairpin took only 154 days to blow
away. A steel nib lasted just under
fifteen months. A common pin took
eighteen months to vanish. A pol
ished steel needle defied the ravages
of the atmosphere longest, taking
two and a half years to disappear.
Famous Rhode Island.
It was a geography lesson, and
the teacher had been asking what
some of the different states were
noted for. Looking at ODe of the
little girls, she asked:
“Tell me, Florence, what Rhode
Island is celebrated for.”
For a moment the child was si
lent, then an inspiration apparently
same to her.
“Rhode Island,” replied the little
_rirl, “is celebrated for being th*
only one of the United States tha.
is the smallest.”— Harper’s Mafc*
