The best remedy is Dr. Miles' New
Heart Cure. This restores to the nerves
of the heart the vital strength of which
they have been robbed, thus strengthen
ing this vital organ.
By taking Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure
before the heart is permanently af
fected, possible dangerous disease Is

unable to relieve heart trouble, Dr.
Miles’ New Heart Cure has restored the
patient to perfect health.
“I was taken with a very severe pain
in and around my heart, accompanied by
irregular heart action. I tried two doc
tors and received no permanent relief.
I then* commenced taking Dr. Miles'
New Heart Cure, which soon cured me,
and 1 have since passed examination for
old line life insurance, and was recom
mended for all I wanted. I have had no
return of the symptoms.”—

MOST POPULAR NUMBERS. '
Seven and Thirteen Are Fixed Upon
in the Minds of the Greater
Number of Men.
"Ask a man to pick out some num
ber between one and ten, and you can
tell him nine times out of ten what
number he has selected, though his se
lection is made mentally,” said a man j
who, according to the New Orleans j
Times-Democrat, is fond of the old
things, "and when you come to think
of it, the task of naming the correct
number is not a difficult one. In the
course of an hour the other day 1
asked ten men to think of a certain
number—any number between one and
ten—and I would tell them what num
ber they had fixed their mind on.
In nine cases out of ten I was correct,
missing it only once. The minds of
nine of the persons selected the num
ber seven, and one of them selected
nine. It is not difficult to understand
why the mind should run to the num
ber seven. Even in the case of the
nan who fixed his mind on the num
ber nine, he told me when it vu ail
over that his mind had first run to;
■even, but he quickly changed to nine
without knowing just why it was that
he changed. Seven is the most prom
inent figure between one and ten. It
le the most popular number in the line,
and is associated with more things
than any other number, and It le quit*
reasonable that the mind should light
on sevsn. I made another teat the
other day with five persons, asking each
of them to write some number between
one and ten, and give it to a sixth per
son. When the slips had been handed
to the sixth man I said: 'Seven Is the
number on each of the slips.'
“ 'Correct,” said the man to whom
they had been banded, and the five
men were a bit bewildered for the
moment by the fact that they had alt
hit upon the same number, and that I
was able to tell what the number was.
It would be quite as easy to name a
number between 10 and 20, though I
have made no tests along this line. I
dare say that 13 would be the firqt
number to flash in the mind, simply
because it is the most talked of, and
the only number between 10 and 20
that has the widest association. So
you can tell there is no trick about it,
and It doesn't require any knowledge
of the occult philosophies.”

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Qur Larger Cities Have Aa>
nexed Ground Far Into Adja
cent Farm Lands.
mmt______ I
According to a recently issued census
I bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al
ways indicated by the order in which
they stand in the tables of population.
Some great centers have a considerable
part of their massed population lying
outside the municipal boundaries. Bos
ton is a good example; about 1,200,000
people live in sight of the state house
dome, and less than 600,000 of them are
governed by the Boston mayor. Other
cities have annexed far into the farm
lands of the adjacent country, say3
Youth's Companion.
It is customary to speak of the popula
tion of a state, “in proportion to its
size.’’ Such a comparison is seldom
made of cities, although It might not be
uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example, i
has a population of a third of a million
on 18,000 acres of ground; New York’s
population, little more than ten times
as great, spreads over nearly 12 times
as many acres.
Chicago was long famous for its an- j
nexation habit, but since 1890 New York
has annexed much more territory than j
Chicago’s total area. New Orleans has |
a slightly larger area than Chicago. |
Each of them covers six times the area j
of Baltimore.
Washington, which occupies the Mary- j
land part of the ten miles square set
aside for a national capital, is a fair-1
sized city as area goes, for this genera- j
tion. It may seem small a century hence, i
although it looked abundantly ample for
all the purposes of urban development
when laid out.
In the case of cities, as well as of other
corporations, consolidation is plainly
one of the tendencies of the times. More
than one-third of those in the United
States have added to their territory by
annexation since 1890. Townships and
counties are occasionally subdivided, by
reason of local interests, but the cities
seem to be steadily pushing their boun
daries outward. There are some eco
nomic reasons for this, but the reason
in majiy cases has been the desire of
their inhabitants to make a "good show
ing.”
In the Right Room.
At the latest of the ladles’ cluba a
“pets’ room," with little stalls for dogs
and cats, lemurs and lizards, all the!
small creatures that a lady finds neces-:
sary as companions, Is provided.
One of the most enthusiastic members
was showing her friends of her own sex
over the establishment, and opened the
door of the “pets’ room with proper ■
pride. j
There, in the center of the room, on
two chairs, sat two immaculately
clothed young men, grave of face, but
with a wicked twinkle in their eyes.
“Don’t you know this is the ladies
‘pets’ room?’ ’’ asked the enthusiastic
member, with some acerbity.
"That’s why we are h<?re,” replied the
more serious of ttie two >(>ung men, with
becoming gravity,—Spor ing Times.

COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans a
Comfortable Hefuge for ■
the Aged.
Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest
tramp iu America, who several years
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a westera rail
road magnate, as a result of a wager
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly received $25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
Is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York, and, while talking
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps' home with his money.
He says that he will build bis home
somewhere ia New England. I asked
him why he didn't take his money and
settle down and he said it is much mors
fua to be a tramp.
"He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money ia a home to ljvo
ia when he gets too old to catch freights,
so long as he had tobuiidhimsetfahome.
he declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of hie
friends. He told me that he knew 5,000
tramps on the road in the United States.
8oas» of these friends of his, he ex
plained, are getting old aad stiff aad
cannot tramp much longer.
"He plane to put all of hie money la
this home for his friends. After it ia
built, he argues that by a little work,
i such as broom making or mending chain
or something of that kind, the 25 tramps
who reside within can pay running ex
penses. When I asked him how soon ha
It going to build this home he said that
he Is looking for a suitable placb, aad
that as soon as Ue finds one he will tak«
his money out of the bank and build,"
MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPS
| Magnificent Volume to Be Sent by
| Children of New Orleans
Parish to Pius X.

presented to his holiness, the pope, by
the Children of Mary, of the Jesuit
church, of New Orleans, has been
finally completed and will be borne to
| his holiness along with the magnifl
! cent pontifical sandals, by Mr- Kelly,
on the occasion of the golden jubilee
of the immaculate conception.
The album is a work of art and a
thing 6f beauty. It is bound in
stu>w white antique silk, and the cor
ners and clasps are of pure gold.

the cover is the pope’s crest, while
across the upper part of the cover is
the word “Autographs” in gold letters.
The album contains 50 pages. On
tne right-hand side of each is some
original poem, composed by members
of the sodality, and written in either
English, Latin or Italian. These
pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft
er the manner of the middle ages, and
the decorations on no two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages thera
is nothing except some modest deco
ration. All the work was done by
hand by members of the sodality, ex
cept the chasing, which was done by
Walter, the college jeweler.
On the presentation page of the
album are the words: “To Our Most
Holy Father Pius X., Children of
Mary, Jesuits’ Church, New Orleans.
La., 1904.” On the title page of the
album are the words: “Golden Ju
bilee of the Immaculate Conception,
1854-1904.”
The album represented three months'
work.

The mile of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the fuunda \
tion of » great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along thi3 line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human Voice. An
(imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
