What Causes the Blood to Circulate =:

To what degree the heart IS aided by
other forces Is yet q matter of investi-
cation. Probably there are several
forces assisting. The elasticity of the
arteries increases their carrying capaci-
ty. They are firm, elastic tubes, which
expand 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 smaller
arteries the flow loses the intermittent
character it possesses in the larger
arteries, and becomes % steady stream.
The elasticity Of the arteries serves pre-
cisely the same purpose as the air cham
ber of any force-pump, that of equaliz-
ing 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 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 2G0 nilimetres per
second. They are provided with valves
which efectually prevent the blood from
flowing backward toward the heart.
Any compression, produced by muscu-
lar contraction or otherwise, viii there
fore assist the forward flow Of venous
blood. This is one explanation why ex-
ercise hastens the circulation. The
movement of the chest in breathing
probably aids the pulmonary circula
ton, the blood, as well as the atmos-
phere, 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
arterial blood, containing the required
oxygen and nutriment. "The vital con-
dition of the tissue becomes a factor IN
the maintenance of the circulation" It
is this force, primarily, which adapts
the amount Of blood to the varying
needs of any organ the nervous system
regulates 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 air; whence
the name. It was this belief which

Mr.. Iyers ". Adams writes from
Bathurst, N. B., to Forest and Stream,
that he tried dozen prescriptions for
repelling mosquitoes, flies and similar
pests, and found none Of them effective
until he came across the following,
which are dead sure every time:
"Three OF. sweet oil, one OF. carbolic
acid. Let it be thoroughly applied upon
hands, face and all exposed parts (care-
f ly avoiding the eyes) once every half
hour. when the flies are troublesome. or
for the first two or three days, until the
skin is filed with it. and after this its
application will be necessary only occa-
sionally. Another receipt, equally eff
cacious, is: Six parts sweet oil, one part
creosote, one part pennyroyal. Either
of these is agreeable to use, and In no
way injurious to the skin. We have
both OF these in our camp with us, and
all flies keep a safe distance" ="

OlG-Fasasionled Kissing.

The days of sweet humanities have
passed away, and the soul of the modern
young woman immersed In labyrinths of
furbelows is made to fix itself no longer
on the gayties and gallanGies which
made the youth of our ancestors the
ideal of that delicious madness-love.
Who ever is known to fall IN love nova
days? What exotic Of conventionahsm
would admit that she cares two straws
for the strong arms or the tawny
mustache to whom her lips are as un-
touchable as Andromeda's? Where is
the girl that puts her sweetheart through
such q course of kissing as our great.
grandfathers gayly underwent? As Pope
says of dancing1those kiss best who
have learned to kiss. Who ever sees &.
young father kiss his first born now, as
the young fathers were proud to do be-
fore the whole world IN days OF old,
when warriors bold faced battle and
death for the rushing together of spirits
at the touching of the lips?
When William, the stout Duke of
Burgundy, saw his fair and naughty
cousin, the Princess Matilda, riding by,
he was instantly srnitten with the pangs
OF love. But Matilda, like q true
woman, refused to accept the homage of
the eye. When the bold wooer rushed
forward and kissed her before the whole
train, she was won. History Is full of
instances of the conquering prowess of
the kiss. When Walter Raleigh re-
ceived back his soiled jacket from the
eapricious Queen, the kiss implanted on
the epot where her foot rested gained

Spotted Tail.

Spotted Tail possessed uncommon
ability, but his mind did not reach far
beyond the narrow circle of traditional
Indian ideas. He kept good watch over
the interests of his tribe, as he under
stood them. But question concern
ing the boundaries of the Sioux reserva-
ton appeared to him more important
than the question how his people could
be best put to work. He was brave
man and strong fighter in his day.
But ever since 1868 he could be de-
pended upon as an advocate of peace
and good understanding with the white
men. He was at times pretentiously
digniied in his bearing and jealous Of
the outward signs of authority. When
years ago a Government commission
visiting the Sioux nation sent for him to
meet them at a certain point, he replied:
eff I had anything to say to You
would go to you. But if you have some
thing to say to me you must come where
am" In the autumn of 1877 a large
delegation of Sioux visited Washington
and had a council with the President In
the famous East room of the White
House. Spotted Tail, when asked to let
the President know what he had to COM
municate, said that he would not speak
until all the other chiefs had spoken.
So they made their speeches one after
another, standing up before the Presi-
dent with great solemnity. When they
had spoken, Spotted Tail rose and asked
one of the attendants by gesture to put
his chair Immediately in front of the
President. This done, Spotted Tail
gravely sat down and talked to the
President, not in the usual oratoricai
style, but in more familiar way, asif con-
versing with an equal. l.-Nea0 York Eyers-

Recovering from Wound in the Liver.

A case is reported in the New Orleans
Medical and Surgical Journal (1852)
in which boy years of age recovered
from wound in the liver, which seems
to have been far more serious than the
one inflicted upon the President by the
pistol-shot fred by Guiteau. A gun was
accidentally discharged, which sent
load of large shot into this boys liver,
through the right lobe. DR.. j. G. Mas
sic, Of Houston, Texa, (who reported
the case), was called IN on the fourth
day after the accident, when the wound
was ganrenous. After telling theboy's
parents that there was not much chance
for his recovery, DR.. Massie cut out
more than the half of the right lobe of
the liver, which had become gangren-
GUS. Contrary to expectation the boy
made speedy recovery.

A Simple Costume.

A simple dress does not always mean
an inexpensive one. It often costs more
thanan elaborate toilet. 4 number of
ladies at a large party were wondering
why all young ladies did not dress N
the plain, simple style of young belle
present, whose toilet they greatly ad-
mred. The dress was of white Surah,
covered with tiny ruffles OF the same

of white snowdrops covered with crys-
tails. Upon her head was wreath OF
snowdrops ghttering with white Jets.
She wore no jewels, but carried IN her
hand a large antique fan OF white teath-
ers spangled with crystals. After the
party was over, the weafer Of the dress,
who had enjoyed the compliments
poured IN upon her, for the exquisite
simplicity OF her dress, told her dotmg

Here the rule is elopement. The lad
and girl make love to one another with
out the knowledge of her parents and run
away together. The brides family,
furious, go in quest of her, and if caught
and brought back she will be severely
punished; her mother and brother will
beat her, and her father even spear her
through the legs. As for her husband,
whenever he returns he has to fight his
Wife's male relatives. The pair may
have to elope two or three times, with
new pursuit and fighting, till, at last,
her family grow tired of objecting, and
her mother VIII say "O Oh, it's all right;
better let him have her." The wonder
full thing is that this Is not exceptional,
but the regular marriage rite of the
tribe. The anger is not real, and when
the people are charged with being cruel,
they answer that it is not intended as
cruelty, but simply to follow an ances-
ral custom. T~s consequence of this
Kurnal custom is a change to civilized
ideas of marriage; it is no longer a
shifting union between one group or
tribe and another, but zeal pairing by
mutual choice OF man and wife, and, to
some extent, male descent comes in
with it.
The Kurnal elopement marriage shows
another interesting feature. Though it
is condoned at last by the wife's family,
the man is never allowed to look at,
speak to or live In the same camp with
his wife's mother. This is the best fact
yet produced in favor Of the explanation
of avoiding parents-in-law, as meaning
that the Gct of taking their daughter,
though practically allowed, can not be
openly agreed to by their acknowledging
him. So deeply rooted is this custom

We hope that our review of San Fran.
CISCO politics yesterday was "read,
marked, and inwardly digested," as the
episcopal prayer-book has it. For of a
surety there has seldom been presented a
more faithful and compreh ensive picture of
a very deplorabls state of affairs. The
general conclusion to be drawn from the
statement of facts which we have published
Is that San Francisco is in the hands of as
greedy and INSCRIPTIONS gang OF rogues
as ever ruled and plundered great and
rich city. There is nothing new in the
situation. Il is what has existed in New
York, and Philadelphia, and Boston, and
Chicago, and Baltimore, and almost every
American city of any consequence. The
masses OF the citizens are too busy to at
tend TO local politics. The majority OF the
newspapers are retained in the interest of
some "ring." The truth seldom or never
finds its way to the voters. Whoever
wants to steal from the treasury processes
to be reformer. The most fulsome cant
is made cover for the most shameless
robbery. The men who pull the wires are
OF no politics, but put on whichever uniform
promises success for the moment. Il
is the old story of New Yo.k.
and the Tweed ring on a smalle r
scale. San Francisco politics are emphati.
cally rotten, and what is more, there is no
prospect or hope OF reform in any of the
movements at present being made. The
two Republican factions are equally con
trolied by kuaves and robbers. All the
pretenses of virtue and purity are shams.
The buffers are as bad as the Buffers, and
the Buffers are "a bad as the buffers. Il
is tight over the spoils, and nothing more,
and the taxpayers viii be bled at the old
rate no matter which gains the day. OF
course the Democrats are in all respects as
bad as the Republicans. Neither cares
what happens in the State at large SO long
as they can carry the city. When good
men are pat in nomination, like Judge
Blake aud Auditor Brickwedel, care is
taken to neutralize them completely by
selecting Supervisors who will do what.
ever the rings want. In short there is no
honesty or sincerity or public spirit in the
municipal contest from beginning to end,
but it is a scramble of vultures over prey.
