The Heart as a Machine.

The heart is probably the most eff
cient piece of physical apparatus known.
From purely mechanical point of view
it is something like eight times as eff
ficient as the best steam engine. 1t may
be described, mechanically, as little
more than a double force pump fur
nished with two reservoirs and two
pipes of outflow; and the main problem
of its action is hydro-dynamical. The
left ventricle has capacity of about
three ounces; it beats IS times a minute /;
and the work done in overcoming the
resistance of the circulating system is
equivalent to lifting its charge of blood
little short of ten feet (9.923 feet).
The average weight of the heart is lit
tie under ten ounces (9.3O oz). The
daily work of the left ventricle is, in
round numbers, ninety foot-tons; add
ing the work of the right ventricle, the
work of the entire organ is nearly one
hundred and twenty-five foot-tons. The
hourly work of the heart is accordingly
equivalent to lifting itself twenty thous-
and feet an hour.
An active mountain climber can ave-
rage 1000 feet of ascent an hour, or
one-twentieth the work of the heart.
The prize Alp engine, Bavaria" lifted
its own weight 2,7OO feet an hour, thus
demonstrating only one-eighth the eff
ficiency of the heart. Four elements
have to be considered in estimating the
hearts work: ~ the statical pressure

ACCORDING to the reports of persons
returned lately from the Spanish mar
riage fetes to Vienna, the prevailing dis
position at Madrid is such as to justify
not only serious apprehensions with re-
gard to the tranquility of the capital,
but also to the dynasty. Of a real af-
lection for the monarch there is no trace
to be found, and the young Queen has
in general also been received coolly. 1t
struck the visitors that Queen Isabella
was eagerly saluted wherever she APP
peared.

Snow has fallen in Rome for the first
time since 1871, to the great delight and
wonder of the children born. since that
date. A brilliantly white sheet covered
all the roofs, and at about a. m. the
flakes came down so thickly that people
might have fancied themselves in a
Northern city. The illusion, however,
was short one, as at 10 the sun broke
through the clouds, and melted it all
away in half an hour. Snow has also
fallen in great quantities at Genoa,
Venice, Verona, Milan and Florence.

A BIG bully whipped boy at Lexing-
ton, Ky. On the following day the boy
patrolled the street in front of the bully's
house with the handle of huge pistol
protruding from his pocket. The man
saw this when he came out and fled in
terror. The boy gave chase, wildly
brandishing the weapon, and the fugi-
tive and pursuer went through street
after street at the top of their speed,
the latter calling piteyusly on the spec
tators for help. A policeman at length
arrested the boy, and thenit was discov-
cred that the pistol was not only I'M
loaded, but was devoid of trigger.

A Word to the Wise.

Why clamor. and cry, and snout,
And wrestle, and tear thy hair!
The lives of the saints were sweet,
In spite of snare.
1t is turn and turn about
1t is tax, and 1.-THE, and tare;
And the bitterest fruit to eat
Our own lives bear.
Shall we storm the turrets of Doubt
To find the dragon Despair,
When here at our very feet
Faith nestles fair?
Gather up thy PHILOSOPHERS
Ere the future find thee undone;
Tell us whittier, blind sons of the blind,
Cur systems run.
Do the swallows wings sweep the skies,
When her utternost flight is won?
In space is there aught for the mind
To lean upon?
Nay, then thou art overwise,
And with thee all years are one;
Shalt thou tax thy wisdom to find
The central sum-

Why siatter the old belief
Till the new is found to be true?
Shall the dead, who are sanctified,
Be shriven anew?
From the sprouting seed to the sheaf-
From passion flower to yew-
We must pass on the hither side:
The steps are few.
Go, leave us all to the grief
And the Joy our dead loves knew
Our loves, who smiled and died,
And passed from view.

THE TWO SISTERS.

Mabel Clarence looked exceedingly
well in her lovely toilet of crystallized
lace, and Ermine's bold, handsome eyes
rested on her in smiling approval, as he
stood beside her chair, and leaned his
head near her and talked in desperately
earnest devotedness that set all the
other young ladies angrily jealous.
"Your character of Frost is tastefully
chosen and artistically represented,
Miss Clarence. Do you know you
ought always to wear white? I wish
you would
She lifted her blue eyes in that dis
tracing way that had played such sad
havoc with mems hearts.
Then she rippled out dainty little
laugh.
& Such an idea, Mr.. Ermine! Sup
pose should ask you to adopt as your
every day apparel that elegant and be-
coming bandit chief costume you have

He dropped his dark brilliant face
nearer her sparkling one.
"Well? Would not accede to that
or any other request you might make of
meP What happiness to be under the
orders of so fair commander
And the tone of his voice, the glow in
his handsome eyes made her pulses
thrill with the hope that had more than
once come to her since this glorious
king among men had come among
them, for the first time in years, MAX
ing the magnificent old ancestral home
fairly scintillant with mirth and gay
ETY..
Then she laughed.
"Would it really be happiness to
serve under my flag? Then consider
yourself under imperative orders to
promise to do something for me that 1
have a fancy for you to do. Mr.. Err
mine, have an idea you could not Sc
lect any imaginable disguise in which 1
would not recognize you. want you
to try again-something that will prove
to you that can detect you under the
the completest mask
Her lovely blue eyes were even more
-coaxing then her sweet, persuasive
voice.
Her cheeks was delicately flushed, her
dainty mouth smiling, and Ermine
thought how passing fair she was.
So there was tinge of something
even more marked than usual in his
manner as he answered:
81 take up the gauntlet, Miss Clar-
renee, and warn you beforehand you will
not write success on your banner unless
4 dare not flatter myself, dare I?-that
your eyes are sharpened by -
What he would have added was most
,effectually prevented by a sweet, fresh
voice. and Madge Clarence, Mabel's
youngest sister, joined them.
eve must be going home, Mabel, for
you remember we promised mamma
not to stay later than midnight
Ermine did not see the quick, watch
sful look Mabel dashed on Madge, for he
was looking at the petite, slender figure
and the plain face, and noting the de-
smure air of the girl who was beautiful
Mabel's sister, vet so utterly different
that it was hard to imagine them even
distant relations.
And indeed Madge looked more de-

That was all Mr.. Ermine ever told,
and it was all Madge ever knew, while
Mabel, chagrined and disappointed at
her ill luck, at last yielded gracefully
and made a very fair sister-in-law, never
dreaming in all her life that the man in
her mothers kitchen had altered all her
life for her.

this place. Since that time, the show has
been reOrganized, and while all of the old

part of the country. Every feature of

the largest and best exhibitions travelling.
The daily expenses of this establishment are
SO great that they can visit only the larger

towns in the State that will be visited by it
this season. Excursion trains will be run,
however, on the days of exhibitions, at re-

the railroad an opportunity to visit the great
show. This is the only circus that will visit
this State the present season, so all who en-
