Blood.

BY the aid of q microscope it is
seen that blood consists of minute
round bodies floating in an opaline
liquid; these are termed corpuscles.
Blood is rather heavier than water
In about fifteen minutes after blood
is drawn from the body it ceases to
be find, and becomes a gelatinOus
mass. After standing for about
twenty-four hours it separates into
two distinct parts-one a watery
fluid, which is called serum: the
other, a solidified mass, coagulum
The red color of blood is due to q
substance called hematine, which
exists in the corpuscles. The
coagulum consists in the main of a
body called fibrin. This fibrin diff,
fers but little from the nature OF
the white of an egg. The blood
fuliils every office in the body by re-
storing and building it up. Ger
tain matters are eliminated from the
blood to produce hair, nails, fat
muscle, bone, brain, etc. 1t is
therefore obvious that the blood
must be of 4 complex nature. As q
single fluid it contains more known
elements than any other known
neutral body; among Others may
he mentioned phosphorus, lime, mag
nesia, iron, sulphur, soda, chlorine
potass, etc. The average compost,
ton of blood indicates that in every
thousand parts from male, it con,
tains $50 of water; from female
100 of water.-Septimus PiesSe.

Dolls Eyes.

Who do you suppose makes all
the dolls eyes? They look so nat
ural nowadays that, unless we stop
to think, we are apt to forget that
they have to be manufactured, and
put in. The fact is, the making of
these bright little objects is quite an
important branch of manufacture,
and one requiring good deal of
skill. Only few understand the
secret of making the best kind, and
they consequently receive large Or
ders. One dolls eye manufacturer
in Birmingham, England, sometimes
fills single orders to the extent of
$500, or $2500. Think how many
bright little doll-faces look ont up
on the world after an order like
this is finished, and how many
glad-eyed little girls meet their
rather staring glances, sure that
nothing could be lovelier!
All dolls don't stare, though. Do
they? Some have really beautiful
expression. The shape of the lid
has great deal to do with that
Dropping lids give a sad look, and
lids slightly turned up at the corners
will make any doll look lovely. |
know little girl who has doll with
eyes so like her own that you can
see at a glance that the two are moth
er and daughter; and know another
little girl who coaXed her parents to
buy u certain dolly for her because
it looked so like dear little baby
sister who had died some months
before. How she loved her treasure
when she cfasped it in her arms, and
called it by the little sisters name !!
Every one in the house loved it for
that matter-the sweet brown eyes
looked ut them with 50 much of the
expression of their lost darling.
Did you ever hear of the little
blind girl who, because she wore
Il green iillet over her poor sightless
eyes, always bound a tillet over her
dolly's eyes also? Both were blind
then and so could understand each
other better.

Resting from Fatigue.

The best mode of resting when
fatigued, depends upon the fatigue
and the condition of the person at
the time. There is one thing, how
ever, which will always rest a tired
person, and that is asponge or towel
bath over the entire surface. Of
course the temperature of the water
and the vigor and amount of rub
bing must be graduated to the
strength of the person. 1t is gener-
ally best if given by a second person.
When the fatigue is mental, arising
from over-exertion of the brain, the
muscles should be called into action,
as by walking, horseback riding,
rowing, playing ball, pitching quoits,
gymnastics, DC. General muscular
fatigue is quickly relieved by laying
on the face and having some one rub
and purcuss the back vigorously
Also, but less readily, by laying fiat
upon the back upon a hard couch or
bed, or upon the floor, with the
hands back of or under the head,
but the head not otherwise raised,
and taking full, deep breaths.

No. 10.
How We Go to Sleep.

The immediate antecedents of
sleep-as languor, a sensation of
weight in the upper eyelids, partial
temporary relaxation of certain mus
cles, as shown by the nodding and
dropping ofthe head upon the breast
comparative obtuseness to external
Impressions, yawning, &c,-call for
no very special remark. The order
in which the muscles lose their pow
er is, however, deserving of a pass
ing notice. The muscles which
move the arms and legs usually be-
come relaxed before those which
support the head; and the latter be-
fore those which maintain the body
in an erect position. There are, how
ever, many exceptions to this rule
as may be seen in church on a hot
Sunday, when some of the congre
CATION are almost certain to be seen
with their chins quietly resting on
their chests, but yet tightly grasping
their prayer books. Moreover, in
relation to the special senses, that of
sight is first lost, the closing of the
eyelids setting up barrier between
the retina and the external world;
but, Independently of the eyelids-
if they have been removed by the
surgeon, or cannot be closed through
disease-the sight is still the first
sense whose function is abolished.
Some animals, rs the hare, do not
shut their eyes when asleep; and in
cases of somnambulism the eyes
remain open. The other senses,
as DR.. Hammond tells us, are not
altogether abolished; but their
acuteness is much lessened. Taste
is the first to disappear, and then
smell; hearing follows; and touch
is the most persistent of the senses.
So conversely, person is most
easily awakened by tactual express
sions, next in order by sounds, and
then by smell.-Once a Week.

and feeble, and his back was bent.
And one night as he lay upon his
bed, his children standing around
him, he cried as he had cried so
long ago:
:. see the starr
And they whispered to one anoth-
er, He is dying
And he said, Il am. My age is
falling from me like a garment,
and | move toward the star as 4

thank Thee that it has so often

And the star was shining; and it

LINES.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE


Sweet moon love thee, yet grieve
To gaze on thy pale orb tonight;
1t tells me of that last dear eve
Ipassed with her-my souls delight
Hill, vale and wood and stream were dye!
In the pale glory of thy beams,
As forth we wandered side by side,
Once more to tell loves burning dreams.
Ny fond arm was her living zone,
Ny hand within her hand was pressed,
And love was in each earnest tone.
And rapture in each heavine breast.
And many a high snl fervent vow
Was breathed from her full heart and mine
While thy calm light was on her brow
Like pure religions seal and sign.
We knew. alas. that we must part,
We knew we must be severed long,
Yet joy was in each throbbing heart,
For love was deep, and faith was strong.
\ thousand memories Of the past
Were busy in each glowing breast.
And hope upon the future cast
Her rainbow lines--and we were blest.
crayed a boon-Oh, in that boon
There was Il wild, delirious bliss
All, didst thou gaze. sweet moon.
Upon 4 more impassioned kiss:
The parting camc-one moment brief
Her dim and fading form / viewed
Twas gone-and there stood in grief
Amid life's awful solitude.
Tell me sweet moon, for thou can'st tell.
If passions still unchanged is hers
Do thoughts Of me her heart still swell
Among her many worshippers?
Say, does she sometimes wander now,
At one beneath thy gentle flame,
To rise to heaven her angel brow
And breath her absent lovers name:
oh when her gentle lids are wet,
Ipray thee, mark each falling gem,
And tell me if my image yet
Is pictured tremblingly in them?
All, tell me, does her bosom thrill
As wildly as Of yOre for me
Does her young heart adore me still,
Or is that young heart changed like thee:
Oh let thy beams, that softest shine,
If still my love to her is dear,
Bear to her gentle heart from mine
A sigh, a blessing and a tear.

darkies is the latest skulling race on
record.
A shoemaker received note from
a lady to whom he was particularly
attached, requesting him to make a
new pair of shoes; and not knowing
exactly The style she required, he
dispatched a written missive to her
whether she ''would like them to be
Wound or Squire Toad?" The lady,
indignant at the rash specimen of
orthography, replied: ''Kneether."
A saw filer in New Bedford, whose
practice is quite large in doctoring
dull saws, puts out sign in the form
of a handsaw with these words,
"saw dentist" painted on it.
A selfish person can have no joys
greater than his own interests are
valuable.
1t is better to endow one man who
will work as the Father works, than
a hundred charities.
God never wrought miracles to
convince atheism, because his ordi-
nary wor ks convince it.
To deny, as Peter did, is bad; but
not to weep bitterly, as he did, when
we have denied, is worse.
1t is heaven upon earth to have a
mans mind in charity, rest in Prov
!dence, and turn upon the poles Of
truth.
If the proud man could only see
the vacancy his death would make
he would not be so vain of the place
he holds in life.
AS a flame touches a flame, and
combines into splendor and glory, so
is the spirit of man united unto
Christ by the Spirit of God.
Christ is almighty, and therefore
perfectly able to restore lapsed pow
ers, root up inveterate habits, and
implant heavenly tempers.
A real Christian loves close, point
ed, searching preaching, and seeks
not the ministry of those who speak
with enticing words of mans wis
dom.
Formality is the bane of spiritual
INSTRUMENTATION of form without
power; of possession without recog-
nition; satisfied with the perform
ance of a duty, without the sweet
enjoyment of privilege.
Never do good action from the
expectation of gratitude. If graft
tude follows, so much the better, you
are so much into pocket; but graft
tude or not, always do the good ac-
ton when the opportunity presents
itself.
just rs the goldsmith sets a foil
around a sparkling brilliant, even so
the Lord has allowed moral and
physical evil to come into the world
to cause his infinite wisdom, grace,
power and all his other attributes, to

gent universe.
