Fodder corn is excellent for this An
abundance of fresh cool water should

favorable opportunity for feeding in
the cool of the day, that they may be

What Causes the Blood to Circulate.

To what degree the heart is aided by
other forces is yet matter of investi-
CATION Probably there are several
forces assisting their carrying capacity.
They are firm, elastic tubes, which ex-
pand under the pressure from each
heart-contraction, and then by their
own elasticity contract and help the on
ward flow of the blood. In the small
Ter arteries the flow loses the intermit-
tent character il possesses in the larger
arteries, and becomes a steady stream.
The elasticity Of the arteries serves
precisely the same purpose as the air
chamber of any force-pump, that of
cquaizing the flow, and SO increasing
the amount delivered. The whole force
is derived from the heart the arteries
cause the force to act continuously.
The veins are lax Cubes, somewhat
larger than the arteries, and capable
of holding all the blood in the body.
They convey the same amount of blood
as the latter, but more slowly In the
larger veins, however, near the auricles,
the velocity may be 200 millemctres
per second. They are provided with
valves which eneotually prevent the
blood from flowing backward toward
the heart. Any compression, produced
by muscular contraction, or otherwise,
will therefore assist the forward flow OF
vcnOuS blood. This is one explanation
why exercise hastens the circulation,
the blood, as well as the atmosphere,
tending TO fill the vacuum during in
spiration,
Physical capillary force is not gener-
ally regarded as an active force in the
circulation But thoro 10 an admitted
force in the capillaries, resulting from
the attraction of the tissues for the ar
terial blood, containing the required
oxygen and nutriment. ''The vital
condition of the tissue becomes factor
in the maintenance of the circulation"
1t is this force, primarily, which adapts
the amount Of blood the varying needs
of any organ the nervous system regu-
lates the supply by varying the caliber
of the vessels.
The force in the capillaries, or some
other force, carries the blood, after
death, from the arteries, where the
heart leaves it, into the veins, Finding
the arteries empty after death gave rise
to the idea that they conveyed only air;
whence the name. 1t was this belief
which Harvey overthrow in 1920

Plogging in Egypt.

The maintenance OF bikes and other
irrigation works would always render u
certain amount of forced labor neces-
sary; and though IL is repugnant to our
feelings to force them TO work by beat
ing them, still, as their own salvation
depends upon their fulfilling his duty,
ii is n question how far this sentiment
should prevail in a matter of such vital
interest to the country, among popu-
lation who have always been accus-
toned to this mode of coercion, and
who feel no disgrace attaching to it,
A curious illustration of this came
under my notice while staying with
friend who was engaged in Keeping the
canals in good repair. A man who had
persistently evaded his duties seemed
to be pricked by his conscience, aud
voluntarily came to him one day and
said that he was prepared to 90 to work
on the canal, but that he could not do
50 without being compelled. He had
never in his life worked on canal I'M
til he had been beaten, and there was
apparently something repugnant to his
feelings in going to work upon one,
oven for pay, voluntarily; he therefore
requested that a hundred blows of the
hurd0Sh should be administered to him
upon the sides of his feet My friend
reluctantly acceded to his request,
thereby breaking the law; but the man
received the required stimulus without
q groan, and went to his work in a
peaceful and contcntod frame of mind.

The Improvement of Human Health.

In result Of somewhat large ac-
quaintance with the facts held TO midi
cate the state and progress of "human
health" | fear my testimony must be
given TO show that tho improment
effected by science consists in pro-
longation of the passive endurance Of
life, rather than an extension of the
period of true vitality, or any increase
of the opportunity for good work and
real intellectual enjoyment. We may
olive" longer, but our lives are not
either happier or more useful for the
excessive energy recently devoted to
the conversation of health, or the inor-
dinate and laborioUs means taken to
avoid disease and death. 1t may,
doubtless be possible TO raise humanity
to the level of one of those scientific
toys which approximate perpetual mo-
ton, but eXpcnd their whole force in
moving themselves. Whether longe-
witty purchased at the price passing
lifetime in running away from death
would be having, / must leave to be
determined by the judgment Of those
who set value on our sO-called sani-
tary progress, which |, for one, fail to
recognize.
think men were happier and better,
and lived nobler lives. before the pur.
suit of health and the yearning for
longevity became a craze, almost
amounting to madness what TO eat,
drink, and avoid, what to wear, where
and how to live, 10y what means to avoid
infection, to keep Off disease, and to
escape death for few weary and wor
ried years, are questions which so en-
gross the thoughts, if they do not en-
bitter the lives, Of the multitude, that
the proposition, as sanitary life
worth livingP' has come to be u subject
of serious contemplation. and one which
the taxed and harassed community will
sooner or later be compelled to enter.

Why We Commence Dinner with Soup.

WHY VIC OUllilouU6 DluuoI Will pOup'
The rationale Of the initial soup has
often been discussed; some regard it
as calculated to diminish digestive
power, ON the theory that so much fluid
taken at first dilutes the gastric juices
But there appears TO be no foundation
for this belief A clear soup almost
disappears Immediately after entering
the stomach, and in no way, imerferes
with the gastric juice, which is stored
in its appropriate cells ready for action.
The habit of commencing dinner with
soup has, without doubt, its origin in
the fact, that aliment in this fluid form
in fact ready digested-soon enters
the blood and rapidly refreshes the
hungry man, who, after o considerable
fast and much activity, sits down with
a sense of exhaustion to commence his
principal meal. In two or three min
utes after he has taken plate of good
warm soup, the feeling Of exhaustion
disappears, and irritability gives way
to the gradual rising sense of good fell
lowship with the circle. Some persons
have the custom of allaying exhaustion
with glass of sherry before food--a
gastronomic no less than physiologi-
cal blunder, injuring the stomach and
dcpraying the palate. The soup intro
duces at once in the system small in
stallment of ready-digested food, and
saves the short period of time which
must be spent by the stomach in deriv.
ing some nutriment from solid aliment,
as well as indirectly strengthening the
organ OF digestion itself for its forth.
