Even From the A WEAK HEART, Hill Climbing’ or Stair Mounting; Will Strengthen the Organ. It is not many years ago that the be lief prevailed that a sufferer from heart disease was in constant peril whenever he moved and that the nearer he approached absolute rest the better it was for his heart. This is still true in respect to certain forms of heart dis ease—those due to actual disease or de generation of the heart muscles—but whed the disease is in the valves, as it is in the majority of cases, the modern teaching is that properly regulated ex- This is founded the precious stones and documents of the wealthy has practically been abol ished in the homes of ?i*ose who can afford to keep abreast of the times in matters, and in its place have been introduced curiously wrought places of concealment which the pro fessional burglar would have great difficulty in finding. A little secrecy has been found to be worth more than a foot of chilled steel.

When the valves of a pump get out of order, it requires greater force to move a given quantity of water. If this force can be applied, it will make up for the defect in the valves. The same principle holds good in the case of the diseased heart; the valvular de fect must be made good—“compensa tion'* is the medical term for this proc ess—by increased strength In the heart muscle. The heart must be able not only to meet the ordinary, everyday extra strain—this it does automatically, as it were, by the unaided efforts of nature —but it. :iuust be stronger than neces sary, just as it is in health, to meet some extra strain caused by illness, a sudden nervous shock or some abso lutely necessary exertion. It is evident, therefore, that a diseased heart must to assure the safety of the patient be strengthened beyond the requirements of a quiet life. This is accomplished in various ways, but none is better for the purpose than hill climbing or stair climbing, the for mer for pleasant days, the latter for bad weather. The exercise should, of course, be taken under the direction of a physician, for it can easily be over done, in which case one of the bad con ditions against vrhich it is the object of the exercise to provide will be arti ficially produced and the heart will be overtaxed before it is strong enough to withstand the 1 extra strain.—Youth’s Otherwise, why have a heme? There is hardly a man who does not at some time have considera ble valuables in his home which he must intrust to his private safe. She most ingenious method of mod ern safe builders is to construct a re ceptacle for valuables in the walls, door or ceilings of the house. The work is as ingenious as it is effective. An expert examines^the different parts of a room selected for the purpose and finally hits upon a place where conceal ment can be made the most effective. A square of a couple of feet or more is taken out of the plaster, and a chilled Steel safe is made to fit in the hole thus made. The inside of the safe is lined with plush for holding diamonds and precious jewels, and there are compart ments for bills and valuable docu ments. When fitted in its niche in the wall, ceiling or floor, the most ingen ious part of the contrivance is then made by an expert. The opening of the safe door is made so carefully that it appears as if the side of the wall moves outward as if by magic. The spring which controls the mechanism is often concealed in the picture molding or Cornice some distance from the safe Itself. To make it doubly sure so that no one would accidentally touch the spring and reveal the hidden safe, with its treasures, there is usually a second spring. The first one consists chiefly In removing a small piece of the mold- tog or wooden base of the rim, and this discloses nothing but a bare surface of wood. A little examination will show, however, that this wooden surface is divided into little square lines. One of these squares holds the second hidden spring. By pressing it in a certain way -tfc will spring open the door of the safe, located probably half a dozen feet away. Consequently if workmen or servants should accidentally knock off the piece of molding or wooden base which reveals the second spring the secret would still be intact.—Philadel phia Ledger.

Yours Respectfully, Am llnbarranfBr Ainrev, A man sent a note to a rleh neighbor with whom he was dn friendly terms to know if he could borrow an ass for a few hour*. The worthy old man was no scholar and happened to have a guest sitting with him at the time, to whom he did not wish to expose his ignorance. Opening the note and pre tending to read It, he refleeted a mo ment and turned to the servant. “Very good,’* said he. “Tell your master I'll come myself presently.” Hi* Jlvtiiftfttiftik •«ut” said the bright and good look- tog young woman, “haven’t you any pursuit that you follow for the simple love of It to the hours when you are not at your office?” The great and powerful organizer of capital stood for a moment abashed by the simple candor of a young girl.
