The Action of the Heart.

hOlnDurgn REVIEW.
AS with each stroke the heart projects some.
thing like six ounces OF blood into the con-
duits OF the system, and as II does so some 70
times every minute and 4, 200 times In an
hour, this implies that II does the same thing
100 500 times in "a hours, 30,0OO,000 times
in d year, and more than 2, 500,OOO,000 times
in life OF 20 years. The mechanical force
that is exerted at each stroke amounts to
pressure OF 13 pounds upon the entire charge
OF blood that has TO be pressed onward
through the branching network OF vessels.
According TO the lowest estimate that has
been made this gives an exertion OF force that
would be adequate, In another form Of appll.
cation, to lift 100 tons one foot high every 81
hours. Yet the piece OF living mechanism
that is called upon 10 do this, and do It
without pause for threescore
years and ten without being itself worn out
by the EFFORT is a small bundle OF nesh that
rarely weighs more than eleven ounces. 1t is
in the nature of the case, also, II must be re-
memhered, that this little vital machine can
not be at any time stopped for repair. II II
gets out OF order II must bo set right IL runs.
To stop the beating OF the heart for more than
the briefest interval, would be to change life
into death. The narrative OF what medical
science has done TO penetrate into the secrets
OF this delicate force-pump, so jealously
guarded from the intrusion OF the eye, that II
cannot even be looked into until its action has
ceased, ie, nevertheless, long history OF
wonders. By means OF the spygmograph-a
writing style attached to the wrist by system
Of levers and springs-the pulse Is made 70
record actual autographs OF cardiac and vas
cular arrangement.

one Minutes.
This morning about the fastest time for
long distance ever known in this section
was scored by the sorrel mare OF Mr.. Harry
J. Brooks, of the Cloud House, Baltimore.
Mr.. Brooks made bet of $4O0 with James
O'Brien, Of Laurel, Nd, that he could trot
his horse from Baltimore to this city inside
Of four hours. This morning he left Balti-
moro at G o'clock aud reached Washington
at 81 minutes past 0, thus making 40 miles
in 3 hours and 81 minutes. Three
miles and half Of the route Mr.. Brooks
was necessitated to walk his animal on ac-
count of the bad condition of the road. Tho
mare is sorrel colored, about fifteen hands
high and eight years old. She was foaled
in Anne Arundel County. She has a
record of 2.40. Notwithstanding the hard
work she was not blown at the end of tho
trot, but in excellent, active condition.
Crowds Of admirers of horse flesh filed in
to Wash Nailor's during the day to see the

A Stone With a History.
GOxford Falcon.l

Ben Milan, who resides in Mississippi, near
the Marshall County line, and who is owner
of the wonderful maidstone, of which we
made mention some months ago, dropped in
to see us on Saturday last while on busi-
ness trip to our city. Mr.. Milan informs us
that since the stone has been in possession
of his family 1929 cases have been treated
in all, not one of which failed to recover.
An average Of fifteen patients test the cura-
tive powers of the stone annually, which
number is about three times as great since as
before the war The history of this wonder
ful stone, as we get it from Milan is that in
1910 Dr. Barker, of Alabama, brought the
stone from China, where it was known as
the snake stone" being used by the Chin
ese to cure snake and spider bites and those
of other poisonous insects. Soon after DR..
Barker returned to Alabama he began to test
the stone on persons bitten by mad dogs,
and with great success, and so used it until
his death, which occurred several years
afterward, when, with other effects, the
stone was sold and became the property of
Garvin Milan father of Benz and three of
his neighbors One at time the joint own
ers sold out until Mr. Milan became pro-
prietor of the stone, and at his death willed
it to his son, the present owner, who only a
few days ago refused for it $500.

A Travellers Smart Trick.
ATLANTA Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Among the persons who purchased tickets
at the union ticket Office yesterday was an
elderly lady whose destination was st. Paul,
Mimi. Save the presence of a small dog,
which she declared she was going to take
with her, the lady was alone. After securing
check for baggage the lady and her dog
entered the ladys' coach, where the former
took seat, while the latter crouched down
at her feet. Soon after she assumed peace
full attitude the train hand entered the coach
and noticing the dog started to drive it out.
The old lady objected, but the train hand
would not yield, although he saw the dogs
mistress in tears. Fortunately, commercial
tourist, who been a silent witness to the en-
tire conversation, stepped up and asked the
train hand to let the dog remain until he
could return. The train hand complied and
the tourist left the coach in hurry. In
about fifteen minutes he returned, bearing a
cheap valise in his hand, which he opened
After cutting large hole in the side he
placed the dog in the valise, and pulling his
head through the hole closed the valise. With
a smile he deposited the valise on the seat
by the old lady and quietly laughed when
the train hand came back to kick the dog

The Goldfish.

Nye, of Laramie, whose first name is Bill,
occasionally gets in crooked licks in the
domain of science with his parabolical
Boomerang. Here is his latest disquisition in
matter pertaining to Natural History:
A correspondent of the New York Post
says that the Goldfish frequents ''the table
lands of the sea-" The Goldfish no doubt
does this to secure as nearly as possible
dry, bracing atmosphere. The pure air OF
the submarine table lands gives to the cod
fish that breadth of chest ana depth of
lunges which we have always noticed.
The glad free smile of the Goldfish is large
ly attributed to the exhilaration of this
oceanic altitoodleum.
The correspondent further says that the
Goldfish subsists largely on the sea cherry.
Those who have not had the pleasure of see
ing the Goldfish climb the sea cherry tree in
search Of food, or clubbing the fruit from the
heavily-la branches with chunks of coral,
have missed very fine sight.
The Goldfish, when at home rambling
through the submarine forests, does not
wear his vest unbuttoned. as he does while
loafing around the grocery stores of the
United States.

Prof Z. S. Morse, of the Essex, Mass, In
stitute has devised an ingenious arrange
ment for utilizing the heat in the suns rays
in warming our houses. His invention con-
sists of surface of biackened slate under
glass, fixed to the sunny side or sides of a
house, with vents in the walls so arranged
that the cold air of a room is let out at the
bottom of the slate and forced in again at
the top by the ascending heated columns be-
tween the slate and the glass. The outdoor
air can be admitted also if desirable. The
thing is simple and apparently self-evident,
that one only wonders that it has not always
been in use. Its entire practicability has
been entirely demonstrated in the heating of
the Professors study in his cottage at Salem.
The value of the improvement for daily
warming buildings like churches and school
houses, whic,,, when allowed to get cold be-
tween using, consume immense quantities OF
heat before they are fairly warmed again, Is
evident. OF course some other means OF
heating may be available when the sun does

would find and take time to bestow little
of the pleasant talk, few of the smiles they
bestow upon other women, and spend little
kind thoughtfulness and affection upon the
poor, hard-working wife at home, who is
toiling and wearing out the best part Of her
life for him and his children. Some women
bear the yoke patiently for years. Some
never remove it until death unclasps the
chain, and the poor, tired soul finds rest,
which she never found on earth. Some are
high-strung and quick-tempered, and the
man who gets such wife doesn't get much
the best of it, sure. But, for the sake Of the
little ones, women will bear and forebear
and, my dear child, see no other way. Try
to find pleasure and comfort in your chill
dren; bring them up in such way that they
will be blessing to you, and in after years
you may feel and say that your life has not
been the failure it now appears to you"

THE END.

The course of the weari3st river
Ends in the great gay sea;
The acorn, forever and ever.
Strives upward to the tree.
The rainbow, the sky adjoining,
Shines promise through the storm
The glimmer of the coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form.
By time all knots are riven,
Complex although they be.
And peace will at last be given,
Dear, both to you and to me.
Then, though the past may be dreary,
Look onward to the goal
Though the heart and the head be weary,
Let faith inspire the soul
Seek the right. though the wrong be tempting,
Speak the truth at any cost
Vain is all weak eYempting
When once the gem is lost.
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready,
For plain and ambushed foes;
Thought earnest. and fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining,
But with evening comes the light;
Though the dark, low winds are complaining,
Yet the sunrise gilds the height;
And love has his hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure;
And time gives his fullest measure
To the work ers who endure;
And the Word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
For we know that when we awaken
We shall be satisfied"

A New Departure in Postal Matters.

The Postmaster General has taken step
which it is believed, in some quarters, will
materially affect the future operations and
reforms in the department. This was the
conclusion Of the contract with Leo Ehrlich,
Of St. Louis for the use of his recent ingen-
ious invention Of a combination letter sheet
and envelope By the middle of January
the Ehrlich invention will be on sale at the
principal postoffices in the country, in the
shape of letter sheet and envelope and
stamp, all for three cents, and a circular let
ter and stamp for one cent, adding the cost
of paper. The single letter sheets are man
ufactured with gummed flaps, which when
the sheet is folded, lap over to open edges
and secure the missive. A government
stamp is to be embossed on one of the flaps
which comes over like the flap on an enve-
lope, and the whole thing is licked, stamped
and sealed with the same motion. This
brings the stamp where the old waters and
seals used to be, instead Of being upon the
upper right hand corner. The Postmaster
will not be compelled to apply the cancella-
ton stamp, as the letters cannot be opened
nor the embossed stamp removed without
destroying the stamp.
