A year or two after William McKIn ley had begun the practice of the law at Canton. O.. lie distinguished himself In a humorous fashion In one of . his first successful cases. As often hap- i pens In court, the humor wac not mere i ly for the sake of the Joke, but for serl ! ous purpose, Mr. Edward T. Roe In ! "The Life Work of William McKlnley" toils the story. . The case was a suit against a sur- Htll ClIraUBK or Stair Moantta Will Strengthen the Organ. It 13 ftot many years ago that the be lief prevailed that a sufferer from heart disease waB in constant peril whenever he moved and that the nearer he apprcaebed absolute rest the better It was for his heart. This is still troa in respect to certain forms cf heart dis easethose due to actual disease or de generation of the heart muscles but when the disease is in tile valves, as it is ln the majority of cases, the modern teaching is that properly regulated ex ercise is -beneficial. This is founded upon the common sense view that the heart Is like other muscles in that It can be strengthened by exercise to meet increased calls upon it. 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 pe 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 nitisele. The heart must be able not only to meet the ordinary, everyday extra strain this it does automatfcally, as it were, by the unaided efforts of nature but it must be stronger thau 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 pJeasant days, the latter for r j,,., tho o-nil of th bin, and I bad weather. The exercise should, of .i,in rro mKSf1 tin after lir.e cf oourpc, betaken uuder the direction of whitewash and finally was over the a physician, ror it can easily De over--. lRSt one the hoe j)ack at hi3 u?es aone. in wuien case cue or tue uau con ditions against which It la the object cf the exercise to provide will be arti ficially produced and the heart will be overtaxed lefore it i strong enough to withstand the extra strain.

Carnations do cot thrive in the shade and will not tolerate the presence of rank manure. Tljey are easily grown in any good garden soil. One secret of getting flowers from pottc-d plants is to let them get pot bound. When a plant can no longer keep on growing, it turns its energies toward producing flowers. By yearly attention to pruning and by good feeding a shrub may be re newed from season to season and kept always strong. Old and weak wood should always be removed. Ammonia Is a plant stimulant, not a food. While it is useful to force plants Into bloom and growth after the soil is exhausted, a fertilizer must be applied or the plant will use up fts own vital ity ln bloom.
