Heart Strength or Heart WeainessmeansNerve
Strength or Nerve Weakness nothing more Pos
itively not one weak heart in a hundred is In it
self actually diseased It is almost always a
hidden tiny little nerve that really Is all at fault
This obscure nerve the Cardiac or Heart Nerve
simply needs and must have more power more
Stability more controlling more governing
strength Without that the Heart must continua
to fail and the stomach and kidneys also have
these soma controlling nerves
This clearly explains why as a medicine Dr
Snoop s Restorative has In the past done so much
lor weak and ailing Hearts Dr Shoop first sought
the cause of all this painful palpitating suffocat
ing heart distress Dr Shoops Restorative this
popular prescription 13 alone directed to these

HISTORIC WEAPONS
Trophies Wrested From the Crusaders
Found In the Sudan
Among the trophies ut arms display
ed on the walls of Windsor castle
one of the most interesting of the long
series Is a group of weapons and armor
rent to Queen Victoria by Lord Kitch
ener after the Uongoln campaign on
the upper Nile in hwM
The trophy coiisIss of a coat of
chain mall a number of spears aud a
long cross hi I ted sword On the
straight steel blade of the sword there
Is an Inscription in odd fashioned let
ters No me saques sin razou No me
entralnes sin honor
The words are Spanish but the same
motto was inscribed on sword blades
In the days of clfivalry in most of the
languages of Europe Its mcaninc Is
th knightly rule for all who bear the
sword Do not draw me without rea
son Do not sheathe me without honor
The weapon was taken from the
abandoned camp of Wad Blshara the
dervish general after the battle of
Kafir Sept 2 1S9J How came a
blade with such a motto to be found
In a Moslem bivouac In the heart of
the Sudan V
The presence of those crusader
swords In the Sudan Is not so dlflicult
to explain In the thirteenth century
the Mohammedan caliphs of Egypt uot
only carried on successful wars
against the crusaders In Syria de
stroying the last vestiges- of the Latin
kingdom of Jerusalem but also de
feated two attempts of the Europeans
to invade Egypt itself one of them
led by St Louis of France
Enormous quantities of western
arms and warlike equipments must
have thus passed into the possession
of the Mohammedan conquerors

BABY TALK
An Infantile Habit i hat Sometimes
Sticks and Breeds Trouble
Once in awhile a rare stammering
case comes to the laboratory where
theres nothing the matter with the
child the matter is with his dear
mamma In 11103 Dr Witmer examin
ed a boy of twelve who talked baby
talk a bright alert youngster to all
appearances normal But nobody could
understand a word he uttered except
mamma she understood it all per
fectly 1 aw off ay was to hei
ear I want to go out to play as
plain as anything could be It was her
tender custom to reply likewise and
she took pride In the thought that she
had never allowed her Willie to asso
date with the children on the block
She had encouraged him to be hei
baby and kept him from growing up
too soon by prattling to him
Except for his unintelligible lan
guage the examination did not reveal
a defect physical or mental in the
boy and Dr Witmer was forced tc
the conclusion that the trouble lay in
the persistence of an infantile habit of
articulation for which the mother was
solely responsible Through senti
mentality and overindulgence she had
almost ruined his chances for a use
ful and possibly successful life
Psychological clinic March 10074
Months of painstaking expert laboi
had to be expended upon him to breal
up the habit his mother had carefullj
developed before he could even begin
to make himself understood by any
one else Dr Witmer of Yale in Mc
Clures Magazine
Almost Disbelieved Her Eyes
Among the memories of my boy
hood said a New York mail there
is one odd episode that is particularly
vivid It is a conversation that I over
heard one morning as I walked toward
the Boston high school between two
women
The women were talking about ba
biestheir size weight health and so
forth
Why when I was a week old said
the first woman I was such a little
baby that they put me in a quart pot
and put the lid on over me
The other woman was amazed and
horrified And did you live she
asked
They say I did her friend an
swered
Well well well exclaimed the
second woman And she glanced at
the other almost doubtfully
In the Wrong Place
A oue legged Welsh orator named

Well said Jones on examining

blood In me and becoming convinced
that it was settled in the left leg I
had it cut off at once

only settled in your head Londou

JOHN 0 EAhlrS STORY
An Alleged Lepers Long Isolation and
His Escape
A very graphic piece of fiction might
be written around the life story of
John it Early who after being isolated
for a year as a leper has iidw proved
that he is not a leper at all and never
was one Early was formerly a pri
vate In the regular army aud served
In the Philippines lie was driven
from pillar to post in several southern
states when a skin disease broke out
on him which the doctors diagnosed
as leprosy The health authorities
treated him as a more dangerous in
dividual to have at large than if he
had been a roariug ravenous wild
beast lor a year he was kept under
surveillance near Washington where
he lived in a tent and was visited only
by his faithful wife and his little
daughter Early recently succeeded in
establishing to his own and others sat
isfaction that he Is uot atllicted with
any foul and contagious malady aud
he has begun suit against the District
of Columbia authorities for damages
oecause of their action in his case It
Is reasonably certain that these pro
ceedings are pretty near unique In
going from Washington to New York
where he Is now staying Early trav
eled in a baggage car accompanied by
a Salvation Army officer who had been
his friend aud had stood by him in his
troubles He went to the Skin aud
Cancer hospital in East Nineteenth
street and was there allowed to
gle freely with other patients who
did not appear to cherish any aversion
to him though they knew he had been
suspected of having leprosy
The superintendent of the hospital
said in respect to Mr Early
He never has had leprosy So fai
as his physical health goes now he i
just as well and healthy and strong
as any man on earth We have known
for a long time what was the matte
with the poor fellow Dr Bulkley
one of the visiting physicians discov
ered what the ailment was when he
examined him several months ago It
is not leprosy It is Dermatitis vene
nata a relatively simple skin affection
not at all dangerous to others and
not at all serious for the victim It is
one of several forms of mild skin erup
tions which to tile casual observei
JOHN R EABLT IX HIS TENT
present some of the manifestations of
leprosy but which in reality are harm
less and easily cured
As a matter of fact leprosy isnt
half as terrible a disease as our Bible
taught superstition has led us to be
lieve We have had three lepers in
this hospital within the last year
They associated with the other pa
tients with perfect freedom Leprosy
is not contagious and infection is very
rare As to its cure authorities differ
but it is a fact that of these three
patients one was discharged positively
cured another convalesced well enough
to enable her to leave our care and
be sure of a total disappearance of the
disease eventually One would saj
from these records then that leprosy
is curable
It is anticipated that certain experi
ments to be made with Mr Early will
make a sensation in the medical world
Early has expressed his entire will
ingness to submit to these tests in the
furtherance of science and out of
gratitude to Dr Bulkley who is large
ly responsible for the alleged lepers
escape from the District of Columbia
Poe and Jules Verne
The influence of Edgar Allan Poe on
Jules Verne is the subject of an article
by Henri Potez in La Revue of Paris
While Poes popularity in Prance has
always been beyond dispute M Potez
contends that it would have been infi
nitely greater had Poes works been
less marked by horrors Jules Verne
recognized that fact and hit upon the
winning formula to please the French
taste Jules Verne therefore accord
ing to M Potezs ideas has Poe witli
a little dressing up This dressing up
implied the suppression or mitigation
of the horrible the retention of all that
was mysterious and exotic and the ad
dition of the ordinary stock ingredi
ents employed by the elder Dumas a
large dose of adventure heroics and
good spirits

SUN PRANKS
regularities For Which Science Can
not Altogether Account
The sun s generally looked upon a3
a model of gularlty which never
falls In its duty but the ancient his
torians mention several Instances
when it failed to give forth Its usual
amount of heat and light forpcrlods
varying from three tiourc to several
months Data on the subject have
been compiled by the St Louis Itcpub
He
According to Plutarch the year 44
B C was one In which the sun was
weak and pale for a period approxi
mating eleven months
The Portuguese historians record
several months of diminished sunlight
In the year YU A D and according
to Humboldt this uncanny period end
ed with strange and startling sky phe
nomena such as loud atmospheric ex
plosions rifts in the vaulted canopy
of blue above and in divers other rare
and unaccountable freaks
In the year 1091 on SepL 21 see
Humboldts Cosmos the sun turned
suddenly black and remained so for
three hours and did not regain Its nor
mal condition for several days
According to the noted Heltnuths
Solar Energy the days of seeming
Inactivity on the part of the sun the
days following the sudden v blackening
of the great orb were noted for a
peculiar greenish tinge and are mark
ed In old Spanish French and Italian
records as the days of the green sun
February 1100 A D is noted in the
annals of marvelous phenomena as a
month In which there were several
days that the sun appeared dead and
black like a great circular cinder float
Ing In the sky
On the last day of February 120
says an old Spanish writer on astron
amy astrology and kindred subjects
the sun appeared suddenly to go out
causiug a darkness over the country
for about six hours In 1241 the Eu
ropean countries experienced anothei
siege of supernatural darkness which
the superstitious writers of that time
attributed to Gods displeasure ovei
the result of the great battle of Lleg
nitz
Even today there are certain Irregu
larities of the sun that science cannot
altogether account for These are the
so called sun spots enormous dark
splotches which appear from time to
time on the solar disk and which ar
supposed to have great influence on
the atmospheric conditions of the
earth Scientists have long studied
these phenomena but neither their ex
tent nor periodicity has ever been de
termined
