stated that he was willing to drop the
case, provided the defendant paid the

The Way he was Cured Of Swear
ing.


From the Altoona Tribune.
The husband of a certain Altoona lady
was, before his marriage, a furious
swearer. Through his wife's influence
he left off this bad habit, except Cne
favorite cuss word, which clung to him
under all circumstances and which, to
the great annoyance of the good wife,
he would unconsciously use everywhere
the word "damn." Several months
since he arose, one cold morning before
the servant came in to make the wood
fire, and, after q long effort, and the
fruitless burning of many matches,
turned and said: "Sallie, this damn
fire won't burn" To this the good wife
earnestly said: eyes the damn wood
is too green, and the damn servant has
forgotten to bring up any damn kind
ling to start the damn fire with. He
looked at his wife in absolute dismay,
bnt at once saw the point and said moth
ing. A longer period than usual passed
without the favorite eXpletive being
used, but later on he wanted basket,
and said, after looking for it: "Sallie,
where has the damn basket got to?'
The wife quietly, as if putting child
asleep, said: "Ask the damn cook to get
the damn basket-damn her she keeps
it." As before he said nothing, but
months have passed, and if he damns
it is not where she is. She
saws it was like taking quinine, and she
has always gone and washed out her
mouth afterwards but he is cured.

Mr.. Grii.n'S Smart Dog.

There is a dog, says the Omaha Bee,
on the corner of Bancroft street and
Willow avenue, Council Bluffs, which
recently displayed such marked de-
tective ingenuity as to certainly merit
notice, if not a star This sagacious
animal belongs to M. O. Griffin. 1t
seems that Mr.. Griffin was awakened
i'll the night recently by the barking of
his dog in the yard. He got up, took
his revolver, and went down there.
Not seeing or hearing anybody, Mr..
Griffin repaired to his room and re-
tired. But still Leo kept up his growl-
ing and barking something louder than
before. Mr.. Griffin again arose, went
down stairs, and stepped out into the
yard with revolver in hand. The dog
him, licked his hand, and
then ran and leaped over the fence.
The dog apparently meant his master
to follow him. This Mr.. Griffin did.
He followed the dog to the cellar-door
of his store, and found that an entrance
had been effected by breaking the hasp
of the same. Mr.. Griffin entered the
cellar, and, Notwithstanding he missed
nothing, he knew some one had been
in the cellar and had tried to get into
the store above. At this Leo was sat
isfed, and ceased barking for the night.
The next morning Mr.. Griffin's atten-
ton was called to loud barking by Leo.
He stepped to the front of bis store.
The dog had stopped a man on the
sidewalk and would not allow him to
pass. The gentleman.at-large told Mr..
Griffin that fine didn't take care of his
dog he would shoot him. At this
juncture Mr.. Griffin invited him inside
and there took the liberty of accusing
him of breaking into his store the
night before. The man said he was
insulted by such base insinuations. and
started for the door, when Leo followed
him out and kept up his barking Mr..
Griffin was so sure that he was not mis-
taken that he reported the case to the
police headquarters. The man was
arrested and taken before Squire
Bulke, where he confessed that the dog
had found him out, and that he had
tried to break into the store, but Leo
had kept him from accomplishing his
purpose. He remarked that he would
leave Council Bluffs Immediately and
go over t. Omaha, where he did not be-
lieve that dogs could be so highly edu-
Gated.

lsrael's Prayer for the President.

In the service at a New York syna-
gogue. the Rabbi prayed: almighty
Father, who art the everlasting God, the
creator of all things, in Thy infinite
goodness Thou hast allowed us to as
semble for worship without fear of man,
knowing that we live among a nation
that loves liberty, that rejoices in being
an asylum for the prosecuted and
home for the oppressed of the world.
But how could we appreciate these ad-
vantages without feeling the deep sor-
row that is now pressing down on the
nation because its head has been strick-
en- down by the foul hand of the assas-
sin How could we come to this place
without offering prayer for the Presi-
dent of the United States, for his sor-
rowing wife and children, for his aged
mother, whose heart has been and is
trembling between hope and fear Oh,
grant an attentive ear to the PRAYER of
the nation Give the President re-
newed strength and health. Give light
to his physicians to save his precious
life"

WHAT causes the Blood TO Circulate.

To what degree the heart is aided by
other forces IS yet matter of investiga-
ton. Probably there are several forces
assisting. The elasticity of the arteries
increases their carrying capacity. They
are firm, elastic tubes, which expand
under the pressure from each heart
contraction, and then by their own elias
ITCHY contract and help the onward flow
OF the blood. In the smaller arteries
the flow loses the intermittent charac.
ter it possesses in the larger arteries, and
becomes steady stream. The elastic
ity of the arteries serves precisely the
same purpose as the air chamber ofany
force pump, that Of equalizing the flow
and SO increasing the amount deliver
ed. The whole force is derived from
the heart; the arteries cause the force
to act continuously.
The veins are lax tubes, somewhat
larger than the arteries. and capable of
holding all the blood of 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 two hundred MILL
metres per second. They are provided
with valves which efiectually prevent
the blood from flowing backward to-
ward the heart. Any compression,
produced by muscular contraction, or
otherwise, will therefore assist the for
ward flow of venous blood. This is one
explanation why exercise hastens the
circulation. The movement of the
cheek in breathing probably aids the
pulmonary circulation, the blood, as
well as the atmosphere, tending to fill
the vacuum during inspiration.
Physical capillary force is not gener-
ally regarded as an active force in the
circulation. But there is an admitted
force in the capillaries, resulting from
the attraction Of the tissues for the ater-
al blood, containing the required oxy-
gen and nutriment. "The vital condi-
ton of the tissue becomes a factor in the
maintenance of the circulation" 1t is
this force primarily, which adapts the
amount of blood to the varying needs
OF any organ; the nervous system reg
ulates 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;

SHORT STUDIES OF SCIENCE.
in Standards of Measure.
manfS

mentS.
Few realize the great practical i'm
portance Of o.Sst;;fft: ;iiii accuracy in stand
ards of weight and extension, and it is
not generally known what degree of
accuracy has been attained in the
measurement of the standards OF length
now in use in different countries. The
carpenters foot-rule and the tailor's
yard are familiar articles, but, if asked,
probably neither the carpenter nor the
tailor could tell whether there is any
means by which the true length of a
foot or a yard can be determined. 1t
is clear, however, that there must be a
standard with which the common
measures could be made to agree in
order to have the same absolute value.
But we may reflect that the constant
use of any measure will change its
length, and that it will eventually be-
come worn out. We can, then, readi-
ly understand the great value of an
accepted standard, from which copies
can be made, thus preventing any grad
ual alteration in our measures. Such
standards of reference are properly
held in the custody of national COVER
ments, scientific societies, and institu-
tons.
1t is by no means u simple process to
compare one measure with another,
and determine the variation between
the two. On the contrary, the utmost
skill and long experience are required
for such work, as well as the most Ella
borate and costly apparatus. Allow
ance must be made for errors that are
SO small as to be almost inappreciable,
but which can not be eliminated until
they have been subjected to future in
vestigations Of very delicate nature.
Every careful observer will obtain re-
suits which are almost marvellously ac-
cordant inter Sc; but the results obtain
ed by TWO observers, with different in
struments, will probably not agree. The
personal equation" has not yet been
eliminated from work of this kind.
In the comparison of weights and
measures, science demands the utmost
accuracy, and it would not be possible,
even if it were desirable, in an article
like this, to more than allude to a few
of the steps which have resulted in the
final adoption of national and Internal
ional standards.
