THE HEART.-For thousands of years,
the hearts of animals had been beating be-
fore it was discovered that the purpose of
the continuous action of that organ was to
bring the supplies required for interstition-
al repair to the remotest members of the
animal body, and at the same time carry
of the waste which had been replaced by
fresh material. For thousands of years,
human hearts had been beating, and,
misled by superficial observation, the heart
was supposed to be the seat of thought and
passion, the center of good and evil, devo-
tion and love; and it was even compared
by poets to an altar on which flames were
burning, etc.
But modern biologists have changed all
this. The human heart is no longer the
seat of noble feelings OF generosity, chari-
t. and love; all these functions have been
transferred to the brain, while the heart
has been degraded to a simple hydraulic
apparatus, in fact, to a machine to all in
tents and purposes equivalent to pump.
If, after having fully realized the stu
pendous change in our estimate of this no.
BILE organ, We make it our task to investi-
gate its operation our admiration and de-
light concerning its exquisite construction
compensates us fully for the disappoint-
ment which at first We may have felt when
poetry had to make room for reality. Dur
ing the life of man, this little pumping
machine performs some l04, 900 pulsations
every twenty-four hours, 81 1000, 900 per
year, and, in life Of so years, nearly s.
900, 900, 900 of pulsations without ever stop
ping, as a stoppage would be at once fatal
to the individual. Every pulsation pro-
jects six ounces of blood with force which
has, by experiment, been determined to be
equivalent to hydrostatic pressure OF
eight feet, which is equivalent to power of
three foot pounds for every pulsation, and
72xS or PIG foot pounds per minute; esti-
mating the power Of strong man at 1920
foot pounds per minute, 1t is seen that the
little muscle which we call the heart ex-
erts at every contraction power equal to
one twentieth part Of the part of the power
which his whole body is capable of exert
ing; but then this power works night and
day without his will, even without his
knowledge, while man can only work one
third of the time. The whole amount of
blood propelled by the heart is 27 lbs. per
milule, ,oSO lbs. per hour, 5000 lbs. per
lbs. in life time. Are we not then justi-
fed in asserting that there is nothing lost
to the eye OF the intellect, by the transfer
OF the heart from the domain OF imagiua-
tiou and speculation to that of positive sci
encef-Scientyic A nerican.

People generally take but little interest
in the wars of the Europeon colonists in
India aud Australia, but 1t is because we
are SO ignorant Of the settlements there
and the progress OF civilization. The latest
disturbance we have heard OF is in Sumatra,
which Is an island near Java and separated
from the Malay Peninsula by the Straits OF
MALAGA. The entire island Is l040 miles long
by 266 wide and contains a population of
about 100000. The Europeans, mostly
Dutch, number 1000, and yet FULLY half of
the island is under their control. They
settled there about the time their brethren
settled New York, and have made much OF
the island, the same as they have made the
island of Java, the very garden OF the
world. The independent kingdom Of
Acheen, which occupies over 1000 square
miles OF the island and has population OF
1000, 900, has resisted encroachments and
for long time looked with suspicion on
colonization. The Acheenese are tall,
well made, active and intelligent, but Gun.
ming, proud, treacherous and blood thirsty.
They live simply hut are slaves to opium.
The news Is indefinite how the present
conflict began, but the Acheenese are fight
ing desperately and the Dutch are assailed
on all sides. In the end, however, ciyili-
satlon must triumph over barbarisni.

THE SILK MANUFACTURE of America
has reached an extent OF which few are
aware. From a mere experiment, ten
years since, 1t has suddenly assumed really
vast proportions, and promises to become
one of the leading pursuits of the country.
According 10 the lately issued reports of the
Silk Manufacturers Association of Amer
ca, 1t appears that $50, 900, 900 is the amount
Of capital invested. Sixteen thousand op-
eratives are employed, who earn $4,000, 900
wages, and the products OF whose labor
amount to between $50, O,oOO, 900 and $4,000,
900. This manufacturing interest has its
center In California, and its prosperity is
largely due to the labor of Cinnamon, and
the undoubted enterprise OF the Cslifor-
nians.

WIT FROM THE PULPIT.-It Is related OF
a certain New England divine, who -four
ished not many years ago, and whose
matrimonial relations are supposed not to
have been of the most agreeable kind, that
one Sabbath morning, while reading to his
congregation the parable OF the supper, in
which occurs the passage: "And another
said, / have bought five yoke Of oxen, and
go to prove them; pray thee, have me
excused. And another said, 1 have mar
ried wife, and therefore cannot GOMEZ
he suddenly paused at the end OF this verse,
drew off his spectacles, and looking around
on his hearers, said, with emphasis: "The
fact is, my brethren, one woman can draw
man farther away from the kingdom of

THE srory OF GREAT MASUFAcrUR1

THE STORY OF A GREAT MANUFACTURE.
In 1929, the so-called "hemp fever" broke
out in Vermont. The farmers set about
raising hemp. At harvest great loads Of it
came to the mill at st. Johnsburv, and re-
quired, first of all to be weighed. For this
purpose a huge steelyard arrangement,
consisting of big suspended beam, with
chains to hitch to the load, was used. It
was ponderous operation to go through
with, and could not be relied on as accurate.
Thaddeus Fairbanks, who had always
shown remarkable aptitude for mechanical
contrivances, set himself to devise better
arrangement to meet the emergency.
Sometime in 1880, his first platform scale
came out. 1t was substantially OF the size
now sold for hay or coal, with platform
eight feet by twelve. 1t was, OF course, as
compared with the carefully finished pro-
ducts of later years, somewhat rude, but it
"worked we'll" The fame of the invention
spread throughout all the region, and it
was put to immediate service. The inven-
tor was content, having accomplished his
purpose.
Erastus Fairbanks. the elder brother OF
Thaddeus, afterward Governor of Vermont,
a man of remarkable business sagacity
and broad. executive power, instantly
comprehended the capabilities OF the in
vention and its adaptation to great and
growing want. He superintended the busi-
ness of procuring tho patents and bring
ing the article to the notice of the trading
world. To bim, jointly, and equally with
Thaddeus,, the remarkable success of the
platform scale Is due.
The magnitude of the manufacture is
now surprising, especially when 1t is re-
membered that tn ese scales "never wear
out" No. Of the Fairbanks make is still
in use, now the forty-third year, in New
York city, and is as accurate and sensitive
as ever. In 1872, 5000 tons OF pig and bar
iron and steel were used In the works.
About 10000 scales were turned out, Of
which nearly 5000 were CT foreign stand
ards for distribution among all nations.
Nearly 5000 were track scales for weigh
ing railroad trains, which is now done
without stopping the train The sales ap-
proximate 100000 per year! Ware
houses are established from London to
San Francisco. The coal dealers, iron
masters, and railroads Of England use the
Fairbanks scrle; this In the very home Of
of the iron manufacture Of the world. The
imperial commissioners from Japan, in
this country last year, being familiar with
this scale as used in the shipping ports of
their country, took pains to visit and in
spect the works, as one Of the characteristic
manufactures Of the United States. 1t is
very rare, indeed, unprecedented rather,
for an inventor to live to reap so rich har-
vest for his labor, and 10 see the product of
his thought aiding in 80 remarkable man
ner the business Of all nations.-Erchdnge

ing. He saw the scattered groups OF men
gathered about Johns house and barn, to
find the body OF the boy they believed to
be murdered. Logan felt his frame trem-
BILE and his temples throb, realizing, as he
did, the weight of life and death wrapped
In the burden that he bore. He spoke no
word and made no gesture. but, holding
the dead child In his arms, marched d.
rectly past the barn to the door-yard and
up in front of the house. There he stop
ped, and stood and looked with agitated
face at TIE farm house door.
The shock OF Logans sudden coming
was so great that no one said, "The body
is found;" but all the men stopped talking,
and some, pale and agitated, gathered in
close huddle around Logan and looked at
the little, white fr, sted face, and in hushed
tones asked where Logan had found the
body.
A blanket was brought and spread upon
a dry place in the yard, and Logan laid his
little burden upon it.
John came out and approached the spot
where his little Willie was lying. There
was a deeper hush as the crowd made way
for the father; and the rough men, some of
whom were now crying, looked hard at
John ito see how he would take It," John
stood and gazed unmoved and lion-like
not a muscle of his face quivered as he saw
his by. He called in tone of authority
for his family to come, and said to his wife
in clear, calm voice, as she came tremb-
ling, weeping, family, "Mother, look upon
your son."
He turned and surveyed the crowd with
the dauntless eye he had shown in making
his Homeric speech at the school house. To
some Of the company that eye was now
dagger.
John was cool, calm and polite. He ut
tered no reproach, and was kind in his
words to all. A half hour passed. The
crowd went away in groups, discussing the
amazing wonder, show 1t ever could be
that such little feller as Willie could have
got so far away from the house."
The next day religious services were
held, and in the afternoon little Willie was
laid to rest upon sunny knoll. John
wept at the grave. A poisoned arrow was
drawn from the strong mans heart, and
great grief was there in its stead.-Atldn-
tic Monthly.

We measured riotous baby
Against the cottage wall;
A lily grew at the threshold,
And the boy was just as tall.
A royal tiger lily,
with spots OF purple and gold,
And heart like jeweiled chaiice,
The fragrant dew TO hold.
without the blackbird whistled.
High up in the.old roof trees;
And to and fro st the window
The red rose robed her bees;
And the wee pink fists Of the baby
Were never a moment still,
snatching at the shine and shadow
That danced at the lattice sill.
All mel In the darkened chamber,
with the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like bitter rain,
We measured the baby to day.
And the little bare feet that were. e.dimpled,
And sweet as budding rose,
Lay side by side together
In the hush Of long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
A fair little face lay smiling
With the light Of heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands like rose leaves,
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never TO catch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill

THIS WORLD.

This world is q sad, sad place know
And what soul living can doubt it2
But 1t will not lessen the want and tho woe
To be always singing about 1t.
Then away with songs that are full Of tears,
Away with dirges that sadden;
Let us make the most Of our feeting years,
By singing the lays that gladden..
A few sweet portions of bliss I've qusffed,
And many 4 cup Of sorrow;
But thinking over the favored draught,
The old time Joy borrow.
And in brooding over the bitter drink,
Pain flls again the measure;
And 80 have learned that it's better to think
OF the thing that gives us pleasure.
The world at its saddest is not all sad;
There are days Of sunny weather;
And the people within 1t are not all bad,
But saints and sinners together.
think those wonderful hours Of June
Are better by far to remember
Than those when the earth gets out Of tune
In the cold bleak winds Of November.
Beca. we meet in the walk Of life
Many selfish creature,
II doesn't prove that this world OF strive
Has no redeeming feature.
There Is bloom and beauty upon this earth;
There are buds and blooming flowers,
There are souls Of truth and hearts Of worth;
There are glowing golden hours.
In thinking over Joy we've known
We easily made II double,
Which is better by far than to NOPE and moan

Agriculture i'm Schools.

We, aportion of the farmers having from
previous notice, assembled at Elm Grove,
Campbell county, Tennessee, and our at
tention being called to Resolution offered
by the Hon. o. P. Temple, at the May
term of the Farmers Convention, as
sembled in Knoxville, 1878. The import
of which was to introduce into the COM
riculture, and also the propriety of organ
izing class in the study of Agriculture in
our present school at this place.
On motion, f. J. McMew was called to
the chair and w. III. Smith, appointe
Secretary. A committee on resolutions
were appointed, and after consultation, the
following were read and adopted:
Seeing that our lands are growing less
and less fertile from improper cultivation,
we hope to bring about reformation by
introducing the study of Agriculture into
the common schools; therefore
Res0tved, That our present system of in
struction is imperfect, and that the study
of agriculture should be introduced and
taught as other sciences, and as the Con-
vention and Legislature may be little
slow in acting, in order to avail ourselves
of its advantages, therefore, further
Resolved, That the school at this place,
taught by w. M. Stokes, organize class
and adopt for the present Scientific Ag-
NY y. L IOl VI fASII-
rculture in Yale College, and that he be in
structed to use his utmost skill in the in
struction of said class, and that we rely
with confidence on the agricultural organ
izations of the State, and the friends of
progress for aid, and that we return our
sincere thanks to the Hon. o. p. Temple
and others for passing the resolutions
above mentioned, and we trust that the
State Superintendent may so operate upon
the County Superintendent as to cause
them to influence the young men of the
State to attend agricultural schools, that
they may be instructed upon the subject
sufficiently to qualify them to teach it in
all the common schools of our State, and
further
Resolued, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Knoxville
CHRONICLE, Press and Messenger and
Rural Sun at Nashville.
