Corpuleuey.
Professor Kisch has recently collected
statistics of the frequency of sudden
death among extremely stout persons. In
.ninowen cases of this occurrence, acute
convestion of the lungs was discovered in
tchvc, cerebral hemorrhage in six, and
rupture of the heart in one. The apo-
plectic symptoms were traced, in most of
the cases, to arterial sclerosis, a very fre-
quent concomitant of extreme cor ulency.
, Rupture of the heart is due to t 1e over—
workinc of the walls of the left ventricle,
which, ing involved in the fatty infil~
intion and degeneration, can, no longer
increase in size in proportion to the extra
work it has to perform. ,
The failure of heart-power appears al-
wavs to he the immediate cause of death,
which generally follows immediately after
violent exertion, or excess in drink or
diet. ’

Jennings knew that t‘abot spoke the
truth about his financial condition, and,
being a goodrnatured fellow, who was
grateful to Cabot for several introduc-
tions which be valued very .liighly, es-
i cially the one to the aforementioned
miiills. determined ,to help Cabot out
of his pectuiiory quagmire by humoring
him in his ridiculous proposition. ,

“If you were to buy him of me you‘d

money you paid me for him. _ '
“Certainly I shmild,“ answered Jen—
nings'laughing at the idea of givinga

“Then you could truthfully say that
you had documentary evidence that:
Judge Cabot was an ancestor of your own,
rmd that would settle it, as I would be
careful to say so, tho, for people rarely
insist upon onc‘s proving that So-and-so
is his ‘kin‘; and if anybody was still du~
bious you could be justly indignant be
cause your word was doubted.” .
“I think if I buy one of them I would
1 like to have the other to keep him com-
pany: lie‘might feel lonesome so entirely
out of his element. “'hat will you take
for the two?" asked Jennings, seriously.
Cabot looked fixedly at. him for an in—
stant; then, seeing that he was in earnest,
answered:
“0h, I‘ll not bargain with you in this
trade; I‘ll be grateful if you will give
me a hundred thousand for the two of ’em
——the old Colonel and the J udge.” -
“Are you sure that will satisfy you?

l “That will suit me still better, of

added: “The fellow is a bigger muff than

l' and I will help him swear that they are

“How will you have the money? In

“or a happy combination of both?“
“If you are really in earnest, I would
prefer a little of both.” ' .

A few days later (‘abot proposed the

some dcmur. and (‘abot quietly said to
one of the objectors:

his money to back him for admittance

about two months
after tliepurcliase of his ancestor, Jen~
niugs called on Dr. Randall‘s family one
evening. and (llive‘s younger sister. an
irrepressible girl of thirteen, named l‘au-
. line, said to him, somewhat abruptly:
' “0h. )Ir. Jennings. is it true that you
. have bought .\Ir. (‘aliot's grandfather?“
: “It is true that Judge t‘abot now be«
1, longs to lllt‘r—llltti he is my grandfather,"
\ was Max‘s answer.
1 “Since Pauline has broached the sub.
ijcct, Mr. Jennings," said Mrs. Randall.
“I must own that. [am a little curious to
know what gave rise to this remarkable
story which is going around about you
and Edgar t‘abot.“
"Oh. it is very simple. (‘abot was
hard up, and I traded off a few dollars
for an ancestor or two,“ replied Max,
lightly. .
“Doyon really mean to claim those
dead (‘abuts for your own?" asked Dr.
Randall, a little tcstily.
“I do. “‘hy not i“ was Max‘s query.
“Is not what you pay for your own?“
Dr. Randall could neither say yes nor
no. “'hilc he was hesitating for a suit~
able answer which should cover the whole
ground and yet not hurt Max‘s feelings,
Max continued:
, “You know, sir, that you value descent
above money. Let us suppose. a case: If
a man had a daughter, and two men
were to present themselves as suitors, the
one. with a good name but a poor purse,
the other in exactlv the reverse condi-
tion, to which woul you advise her to
give an affirmative answer?“
Dr. Randall appreciated the full mean-
ing of this question. which was even
harder than the previous one to be an-
swered. He could not collect his thou hts
as quickly as his older daughter id,
however. Before her father could frame
a reply, Olive said, dctcrminedly:
“I think it would be well to let the
girl have some voice in such a matter. I
think that the characters of the two men
ought to be taken into consideration. I
don‘t believe any girl would want a man
who could sell his grandfather. She‘d
be more apt to see worthy qualities in
the one who didn‘t consider money the
only thing‘worth having."
There was no mistaking the signifi—
cance of Olivc’s tones. or of her flushed
face. Dr. Randall loved his children, so,
saying to himself: “)qu is at hcarta
gentleman, in spite. of his extraction;
perhaps there was blood on his
jest of the whole matter, and answered:
“Ah, Max, you see what a minority I
run int My wife always with
Olive, and even Pauline echoes her, so I
dare not. dispute 3 word she says.“

Simple, but Dishonest.
One of the simplest things ever heard
of. and which was still as neat as it was
simple. \Vttsllle breach of trust of 3 Phil-
adelphia messenger. He received a pack-
age of $100,000 and hid it safely away.
He then went back to the bank which
had employed him and told the otlicers
that he was tired of being poor, and that
he had determined to use the money they
had given him to carry to a certain other
bank. At first it was thought he was
drunk, then crazy, then joking. But he
simply advised the officers to have him
arrested, as he intended- to keep and use
the money in question. The principal
he promised eventually to return.
without avail. He was finally arrested.
but his only crime was breach of trust.
His declared intention of eventually re~
turning the money made it almost im»
possible to bring his crime under the
head of any indictable offence. He was
finally tried for breach of trust and came
03 with two years in the penitentiary.
This occurred about. fifteen years ago.
The perpetrator still lives in Philadelphia
and is in comfortable circumstances,
and talks freely about his little cscapade.
He still says he intends to return the
money to the bank. He had his lawyer
draw up a will in which he bequeathed
the sum of $100,000 to the bunk, being
the sum borrowed on such date, less
$2,400. being the amount charged for two
years of enforced idleness at $100 a
