However still the body may remain,
that marvellous engine, the heart, never
ceases its work. 1t pumps from minute
to minute with such amazing energy that
it has been estimated that it throws out
in twenty-four hours from fourteen to
nineteen tons of blood; the same blood.
of course. over and over again. Donders
has calculated that, in doing 50, it ex-
erts daily force of nearly 280 foot-tons !;
OF, in other words, that it does as much
work as though it lifted 280 tons one
foot high.

WHAT A DREAM DID. = The Fort
Wayne Sentinel soberly relates the fol-
lowing as fact:
A gentleman of social position, living
in the country. has a son engaged as
clerk in large mercantile house in Oma-
ha. A few weeks ago the father .eceiv-
ed letter from his son to the effect that
he had been robbed of So, 900 belonging
to his employer, while returning from
collecting trip into the country. The
father was naturally troubled by the in
telligence, and when he retired to his
room for the night, he lay awake for
some time, thinking of the unfortunate
occurrence. At last he fell asleep, and,
as it seemed, he was sitting by table
in a bedchamber of - Hotel of Oma-
ha, listening to the conversation of two
young men who were recalling the par
ticulars of robbery in which they had
just been concerned. while they counted
over the proceeds of the same with an
exultant air.
Learning the number of their room, he
descended the stairs, consulted the regis
ter, fixed their names in his memory. to-
gether with the date under which they
were written and then awoke. He i'm
mediately wrote letter to his son, re-
questing him to call at the - Hotel,
look at the register, and if he found the
names of John B. Wilson and James
Frank inscribed on its pages under the
date of November, to have the parties
found, arrested and charged with the
theft of the $4,000. The son followed
the directions, and from the letter re-
ceived by his father, we learn that the
said John B. Wilson and James Frank
were arrested at the said hotel, that they
confessed to the felony. that S48l2 of
the lost money was recovered. and that
the offenders had been sent to the peni-
tentiary.

John Morrissey announces that he is

changes may in that time occur. But

GRIZZLY.
CowARD,-of heroic size,

CowARD,-of heroic size,
In whose lazy muscles lies
Strength we fear and yet despise;
Savage.-whose relentless tusks
Are content with acorn husks;
> Robber,-whose exploits ne'er scared
Ger the bees or squirrels hoard;
whiskered chin and feeble nose,
Claws of steel on baby toes
Here, in solitude and shade.
Shambling, shutting, plantigrade,
Be thy courses undismayed!
Here where Nature makes thy bed,
Let thy rude, half-human tread
Point to hidden Indian springs,
Lost in ferns and fragrant grasses,
Hovered DER by timid wings.
Where the wood-duck lightly passes,
Where the wild bee holds her sweets
Epicurean retreats,
Fit for thee, and better than
Fearful spois of dangerous man.
In thy fat-jowled deviltry
Friar Tuck shall live in thee;
Thou mayst levy tithe and dole;
Thou shalt spread the woodland cheer,
From the pilgrim taking toll;
Match thy cunning with his fear;
Eat, and drink and have thy fiji;
Yet remain an outlaw still

FASHION IN THF NEW AND IN THE
OLD WoRLD.-The young king of Siam,
cherishing a friendly regard for an
American lady who had, during the
reign of his late father, resided in the
royal city, requested her to send him
her likeness. This was accordingly done
by the hands of a mutual friend, and
the gift, as we learn from recent let
ter, was received with marked pleasure
by the monarch. But after long and
careful scrutiny, he asked with a puz-
zled air, "Has my friend changed her
nation or her religion? 1t must be one
or the other. The features are the same,
but the dress? This is not the costume
she wore when | saw her last"
And thus it ever is in the East. Ori-
entails cannot possibly comprehend why
the style of dress should be changed
unless of necessity. Among them each
nation and tribe has its peculiar costume
as well as its insignia of religious creed
and these fashions are perpetual, the
lapse of thousands of years ordinarily
being unmarked by any special change

THE SLANDERER.

The slanderer mingles falsehood with the truth.
And serves the devil IN his viler work.
Within his lips there may be said to lurk
A fang more deadly than the cobra's tooth.
With keen, insane Unsuitable delight
He marks The accents Of victims tongue;
On idle words he safes his appetite.
And forth he goes. disgorgng them among
A world of slander-losers. Magnifying
The more they're spread. they tingle on the ear:
And those who tell the tale, and those who hear,
Are apt confederates in the work of lying:
Thus a fair fame among the ISLANDERS thrown
Is gnaw'd as hungry dogs delight TO gnaw bone.

SITUATION oE THE ALABAMA QUESTION.
New York, May Z. The Times
Washington special says the stuff which
has been telegraphed from the city in
regard to the Washington treaty is mere
speculation and guess work. The situa-
tion is not materially changed and there
are no new features in it warranting any
belief of new dangers. On the contrary,
the position of this Government on the
subject is one which, when all the
correspondence is made public, will be
warmly approved by the people. There
is no back down, no withdrawal. There
is an earnest effort to save the treaty,
but there has been no suggestion or prop
osition from this side to settle the ques-
tion outside of the Geneva tribunal.
The New York Tribune continues to
publish congratulatory messages; and
the Times, not to be outdone, gives sew
eral which it says were omitted by the
Tribune editor. One of these rejected
manuscripts reads af follows:

THE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT.

The Great American Desert" which
we school-boys quarter of century ago
saw on the map of North America, has
disappeared at the snort of the iron horse;
coal and iron are found to abound on the
plains as soon as the railroad kings have
need of them the very desert becomes
fruitful. and at Humbolt Well. on the
Central Pacific Railroad, in the midst of
the sage-b brush and alkali country, you
will see corn, wheat, potatoes, and fruits
of different kinds, growing luxuriantly,
with the help of culture and irrigation
proving that this vast tract, long sup
posed to be worthless, needs only skill
full treatment to become valuable.
One cannot help but speculate upon
what kind of men we Americans shall
be when all these now desolate plains
are filled. when cities shall be found
where now only the lonely depot or the
infrequent cabin stands when the iron
and coal of these regions shall have be-
come the foundation of great manufac-
turing population and when, perhaps,
the whole continent shall be covered by
our stars and stripes. No other nation
has ever spread over so large territory
or so diversified surface as ours
From the low washed shores of the
Atlantic your California journey carries
you to boundless plains which lie nearly
as high as the summit of Mount Washing
ton. Americans are digging silver ore
in Colorado three thousand feet higher
than the highest point of the White
Mountains. At Virginia City, in Neva-
da, one of the busiest centers of gold
mining, the travellers find it hard to draw
in breath enough for rapid motion, and
many persons, when they first arrive
there, suffer from bleeding at the nose
by reason of the rarity of the air.
Again, in Maine, half the farmers year
is spent in accumulating supplies for the
other and frozen half; all over the North
ern States the preparation for winter is
an important part of our lives but in
San Francisco the winter is the pleas
antest part of the year. In Los Angeles
they do not think it needful to build
fire-places, and scarcely chimneys, in
their houses. And one people, speaking
the same language, reading the same
books, holding common religion, pay
ing taxes to the same government, and
proud of one common flag, pervades these
various attitudes and climates, lntervls-
its, intercommunicates intermarries, and
is, with the potent help of the railroad,
fused constantly more closely together as
a nation. What manner of men, think
you, will be the Americans of 1912, the
product of so many different climes, Of
so various range as to altitude?-Jouyndl

ODEL OANAL.-D1s lICooOpos OlO
protector of the Suez canal, has just SUBJ
mltted his annual report to the stock
holders, wherein it appears that the ru-
mors to the effect that the canal is filling
up, are entirely without foundation
On the contrary, the success of the Ca
nal is now established beyond a doubt,
and it appears that the receipts for the
current year have run up as high as
eighteen million francs; and the out
goes only reaching sixteen millions, it
will be seen that the snug little sum of
two million francs, or 100000, remain
to be divided among the stock holders.
That the canal has been of value to the
commercial world. is shown by the fact
that in 1871 there were 765 vessels,
paying dues to the amount of 1898, 900
francs, passed through its waters and
it is moreover an evidence of the growth
of the canal in the favor of the CONNER
cial world, to know that, during the
first two months of this year. 200 YES
sells have availed themselves of the great
roadway from sea to sea. 1t costs $780,
900 annually to keep the canal in order.
A quietus has been put upon the pre-
dictions Of those who prophesied the
failure of the canal on account of its
depth, by the fact that ships of 5000
tons have made the passage with ease.
The country made available to COM
merce by the canal is rapidly develop
ing unexpected resources, and NJ. Les
sips only apprehension is that the build
ing yards will not be able to supply
steamers fast enough to meet the demand
which the increasing facilities have Civ
en- rise to.-Bostos Globe
The TREATY IssUE.-In the Alabama
controversy we seem to have reached a
point where we must wait for the friend
ly hand Of tilne to unravel the difficult
ties. TO our waving of all moneyed
demands under the head of consequent
tial damages in consideration of Eng
lands agreeing never to present indi-
rect claims against the United States,
it now appears that England will agree
to no such thing, but only to something
very much narrower, namely: that she
will not present claims similar and aris-
ing in similar manner, to those prac-
tieally waived in the Treaty of Wash
ington. This does not cover the whole
principal aimed at, and it will not an.
swer. and hence negotiations are '.off'
as would be said in other circles.
The worst feature disclosed in this
supplementary correspondence is the
apparent disposition of England to ad.
vance her pretensions and to grow more
imperious in tone, in proportion as the
United States has shown a willingness
to make concessions, in order to save the
Treaty. This is doubtless due to the
exigencies of home politics, to the
hard straits into which Mr. Gladstone
finds himself thrust by the rising To
ries. Probably we must let them fgh1
out their battle, before we can hope fol
an adjustment of these outstanding diff
culties. As it is now, the thing is jus
here-England insists upon debating
how we shall make up our case at Gene
va. So long as that is the point, nov
is the Administration going to yield
and how is any American going to avoit
sustaining it in its position?
