The Heart.

From a recent review of Rev. DR..
Houghton's experiments regarding the
muscular force exerted by the human
heart we condense as follows "The
heart is composed of innumerable
muscular fibres arranged like two
balls of Irvine, each with cavity in it's
center, and both completely enveloped
in third ball. These fibres are, how
ever, not continuous, as in the case of
Irvine wound on ball, but work indie
pendently. By calculating the force
exerted by these fibres, when either
contracted or extended, and expressing
the result in foot tons that is, the
force required to lift a ton to the
height of one foot-it appears that the
daily work of the left ventricle alone,
which lifts at each stroke three ounces
of blood through height of 1923 feet,
is equal to about SO, 706 foot-tons. Es-
timating the relative power of the right
ventricle to that of the loft, in the pro-
portion of five to thirteen, the total
daily work of both is equal to 124, 2OS
foot-tons. Although the average weight
of the heart is about 9-36 ounces, the
work done by it in given time exceeds
that accomplished by all other muscles
exercised in boat race during the same
period. Helmholz, the German ply
sicist, proved that the heart could raise
its own weight 20, $50 feet in an hour,
while the best locomotive engine could
only raise its own weight 2,70O feet in
the same time. An active climber,
with the full exercise of all the needed
could only accomplish 5000
feet in nine hours, or one-twentieth the
work done by the heart.

In Hot Water.

Another illustration of the dangers to
which politicians subject themselves by
writing letters is afforded in the pend
ing English canvass. This time, how
ever, it is the telegraph which has made
the trouble-another argument, per-
haps, against Mr.. Creswells pc
scheme. It appears that candidate in
an English borough recently got into a
good deal of trouble by sending the fol-
lowing telegraphio dispatch: 81 will
come down 5 P. M" which was inter.
preted, by jealous agent, as meaning,
"I will come down five pounds per
man" while it was only intended to
convey the information that the candi-
date would visit his hoped for constitu.
ency by the P. M. train from town.
The Interpretation, however, came near
costing him his seat; and the member
will probably beware of the telegraph as
earnestly as the elder Weller impressed
upon Sam to beware of vidders.

Singular Ceremony.

A singular ceremony was lately wit
messed in England Of the remarkable
obsequies of Lemontinia Smith, the
"morganatic" wife of a gypsy much
famed in Romany circles, called George
Lowell. The "affairs of Egypt trans,
acted on the occasion were of the most
mysteries description. More than one
hundred Romany chals, representing
all the tribes in England, attended the
funeral. Returning to their encamp-
ment, grand ceremony of cremation
took place. All the wearing apparel,
trinkets, and domestic articles belong.
ing to or any way used by the dead
woman were solemnly burnt or other
wise destroyed, and even the caravan in
which she had bean in the habit of
travelling was, SO it is said, committed
to the flames. Lemontinia Smith seems
to have taken poison, and Lowell ex-
pressed his readiness to give e20 for
the two basins in which she had mixed
the fatal draught, but which had been
retained by the analyst. If the causes
for the performance of these strange
rites are inquired into. nothing, we fear,
of an enlightening nature would be
elected. Even the eypsies are involun-
tarily reticent, and have nothing to say
as regards their origin, their language,
and their curious manners and customs,
or else they are phenomenally capable
of keeping their own counsel, and are
persistent in their determination not to
tell modern civilization who and what
they are, and what they mean by their
general behavior. Why cannot they
conform? Why should "the affairs of
Egypt" be transacted at Wolverhamp-
ton? Why do they object to fill up the
census papers? And why should the
impossible gulf have yawned for more
than four hundred years between the
nomads who roamed hithsr no man
knew whence and no man knew why,
and the nations of Europe? If the
Zingari were Pagans they have surely
had time enough to turn Christians il
they are of Oriental extraction, they
should surely have become naturalized
but they seem to have been actuated
throughout by an aggravated sentiment
of the non oossunaus kind, and as they
were in the middle ages so do they con-
tinue in the year 1874 problem to
learned and crur to the county JUS
tees, the delight of antiquarians, the
betes noires of farmers, and the despair
of the rural police.

Perry Davis Pain-Killer has been before the
public over thirty years, and has = wider and
better reputation than any other proprietary
medicine Of the present day. At this period
there are but few unacquainted with the merits
Of the Pain-Killer; but while some extol it as
a IMMINENT, they know but little Of its power in
easing pain when taken internally, while
others use it internally with great success but
who are equally ignorant Of its healing virtues
when applied externally We therefore wish
to say to all that it is equally successful used
internally or externally, and it stands to-day
unrivaled by all the great catalogue of Family
Medicines. It is sufficient evidence of it's
virtuoe o standard medicine, to know that it
is now used in all parts of the world, and that
it's sale is constantly increasing. No curative
agent has had more widespread sale or given
such universal satisfaction. 1t is a purely
vegetable compound, and perfectly safe, even
in unskilled hands.-[Com.

Sad End OF q Newspaper Man.
How . Successful Lsndon Editor WI
Finally Wrecked.

How . Successful Lsndon Editor was
Finally Wrecked.
In newspaper sets there has rarely
been q more painful case than that Of
the late Mr.. Morier Evans. Since boy.
hood have known him as an energetic
journalist-half man OF business. half
writer. As city editor OF the Times he
showed considerable knowledge Of f.
nancial subjects, and for long years
after leaving the Times he was the life
and soul OF the Standard. His quick
ways, heavy voice, and busting manner
can never be forgotten by his friends.
He was always great upon the virtues
OF self.denial, and upon the duty Of
providing for the future. 1t was q les.
son to hear him show the folly Of liter
airy men dabbling in speculative literary
projects. By his labors and by Judi
cious use OF opportunities in the way
OF investments Mr.. Evans amassed
considerable sum, and this time last
year was probably worth 100000. A
dispute unhappily arose in the Standard
Office old friends became exasperated
against each other, and one morning
Mr.. Evans and another left, hot tenn
percd and sore. Nothing would do but
they must start another tory daily paper,
and at once poor Evans threw himself
into this money as well as his labor.
He was sure of success. He would
listen to no prudential suggestions.
But the Hour proved failure. 1t was
not so good as the Standard, and no
fresh number of tories were born ex-
pressly for buying. To start o daily
paper in London in these days with any
hope of permanent profits, three hun.
dred thousand pounds, I take it, must
be spent. A thousand pounds is gone
in day. There is no NAV so insati-
able. Mr.. Evans's hundreds, and then
thousands-the product of oh how
much industry and sagacity flew, and
there was no return no other cry than
"givew At last all went, and week
or two ago he was compelled to seek
the prote ction of the bankruptcy court.
He could not face the horror. Youth
and middle age were gone, and he knew
thewerld too we'll to expect to be happy
in it as ruined man. His health gave
way and he died OF broken heart.
This is no romance, but true story,
and I grieve when I think of it. He
had ever a kind word for young men,
and his buoyant spirits made him a
pleasant companion. It Is painful to
think now of the scenes in which he
was the authoritative friend of others
who he feared might be rash; to re-
member tho innocent satisfaction with
which he would allude to his own good
management and then to think of the
gloom and the agony that were waiting
him.-Lond0n Letter.
