Awake, written by DR.. j. T. Payne {:
"He describes the capture of shark
and it's dissection at sea, and says that
after the heart had been removed from
the body and placed upon the deck 6 it
kept up its contractions for. period OF
twenty minutes or half an hour, just the
same as when in place and performing
it's Office of pumping the blood to the
various parts of the body We, in
company with the late Surgeon Nc
Gregor, used to enjoy annually shark
fishing excursion. One season we rem
dezvoused at Edgartown, and fshed for
the monster off 'Capoge.' We caught
among others fellow of splendid pluck
and proportions, and decided to alssect
him. We landed him upon an old wharf
in Edgartown, about four o'clock in the
afternoon, and proceeded in true sur
geon's style. We opened him took out
his immense jaws, which, when opened,
passed over to the extreme OF our shoul-
ders, and afterward found his heart ex-
panding and contracting as If in life,
though the body was devoid of blood.
We cut the heart out, placed it upon an
inverted iron try-kettle used by whalers,
and proceeded with our work. After we
had fnished-it was nearly dark-we
took the jaw and the heart, the latter
still pumping, to our hotel, and placed
the latter upon stone post, while we
went in and had our supper. We took
lantern with us and examined that
marvellous heart again. It was still con-
tracing, though feebly, and its last
culver, about $50 o'clock, was merely a
spasm. DR.. Payne's story is not as
marvellous as ours, and we vouch for its
truthfulness,

They Shut On.

About week ago there were two smart
young men got on Burlington and
Cedar Rapids train and laid themselves
out to amuse and instruct the passengers.
Very many funny things said and very
many things did these two brilliantyou
men, and it did seem as though Provi-
dence had been just too kind to the other
passengers to let them ride on the train
with such smart young men. But pre-
sently, there loomed up from them a
colossal opportunity, when lady, at-
tended by little girl and little dog,
came into the car. The two young men
We'd with each other in saying funny
things about the pup. Presently the
funniest young man said, in tones OF
perplexity: "Well, let me see, they
make dogs pay on this train don't they %
And then the lady turned around, and
said in Just the driest tones you ever
heard lady say anything: "Then you'd
better get off before the conductor comes
in." There was a great deal of talking
and a great deal of laughter in the car
between the place where that accident
occurred and Burlington, but the men
who we're killed at the siege of Jerusalem
were noisy, roaring, bowling bacchana-
lians a week ago, in comparison with
these two young men for the rest OF the
trip.-Burlingtora Haavkeye.
