A Fox who was gamboling about had
the ill luck to fall over a cliff, and as he
lay on the ground, unable to rise and
suffering great pain, along came n Hare.
well, said the Fox as he looked up,
''the tables are turned, l am your bitter
enemy and have often pursued you with
intent to murder, but now l am helpless
and You can take your revenge"
DO You expect me to kill you?"
Naturally l do, and | ask the favor
that you will kill me with club instead
OF slowly torturing me to death by sing

But the Hare determined to heap
Goals of fire on his head and prove
her own forgiving spirit. She there
fore brought him water and food and
nursed him until he was quite
able to take care of himself. The
very next day after they separated the
Hare was crossing field when she
found herself pursued by Fox. After
running long distance she was over.
taken, and as she was knocked over she
recognized in her assailant the very Fox
whose life she had saved.
"Why, you are the very Fox whom
nursedp she cried out.
'Is that so?"
"0f course it is ! How could you fail
to recognize me?"
''Well, fools look so much alike that
it is hard to tell who from who. For

THE LION AND THE JACKALs.
One day two jackals were having a
hot dispute as to the origin of man, and
were about to come to blows, when
along came the Lion, and asked:
"My friends, what seems to be the
rumpus here?"
81 claim that man originated from
the ape, 4" explained one.
"And | contend that he is descended
from the fish, " added the other,
Have either of you any documents
or athdavltss"
"None."
"Then shall claim that man is de.
scendcd from the giraffe, and being able
to roar louder than both of you together,
shall carry my point. Be off with you,
and ns you go remember that arguments
on theories test the wind more, or rs

VI like Governor Stoneman's sugges.
ton to the Legislature, in his inaugural
message, that an honest apportionment
OF the State should be made The Dem.
ocratic party has it in its power to play
the hog in this matter, or to show that
it really respects the right OF suffrage.
In apportioning the State the aim ought
to be to give to the vote of every citi-
zen its greatest efficacy, Democrats
should not be led astray by the bad
precedents which have so often been set
by Republicans. Beginning with either
the northern or southern portion of the
State, Congress, Senate and Assembly
districts should be framed in accordance

A sickening Picture OF the Scene

ness Almost suspended In MIL
waukee.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. ll.-At daylight
this morning large gang Of laborers re-
sumed the awful wotk of hunting for
the dead In the ruins of the Newhall
House. The streets in the vicinity of
the ruins were packed black with people.
The greatest excitement prevails. The
FIRE department is engaged pulling down
remnants Of walls, and with each sue
cessful crash the excitsment increases.
The police and firemen are confident
that fully fifty people are buried in the
ruins, including q number OF guests not
mentioned in the published list.
crowds Of people are arriving . on
every train. The hotels are filed
w.th fearful people seeking friends
or relations supposed to have been in
the fire. All the sufferer at the Plank.
ington and Kirby Houses are doing
pretty well this morning. r. Rosen-
bark, Of the Michigan Central passenger
depot, is not severely hurt and will
return to Chicago in few days. Por-
tions OF the fallen walls have piled
higher the debris at the entrance of the
hotel, and all hope of finding the bodies
seems more forlorn than ever Business
has all been suspended throughout the
city, most of the inhabitants having
congregated about the ruins. The
actor, Gilbert, of Minnie Pa'mer's Com
pany, is in the agonies OF deA'l. There
has been little or no chance for him from
the start. Judge Elliotts condition is
still critical and it is believed that he
cannot recover. Every undertaken in
the city is busy, and preparations are
going ON for twenty funerals.

The ManEn Heart.
Ediaburg Review,

AS with each stroke the heart pro-
iects something like six ounces OF
blood into the sonduits of the SYSTEM,
and as it does so some 70 times every
minute and 1900 times in an hour,
this implies that it does the same thing
100000 times in twenty-four hours,
60, 100000 in a year, and more than
1000, 900, OOGtimes in a life of seventy
years. The mechanical force that Is
exerted at each stroke amounts to q
pressure of Is pounds upon the entire
charge of blood that has to be pressed
onward through the branching net
work 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
application, to lift 100 tons one foot
high every "a hours. Yet the piece
of living mechanism that is called up
on to do this, and do without pause
for threescore years and ten without
seeing itself worn out with the effort,
is small bundle of flesh that rarely
weighs more than IL ounces. 1t is
in the nature of the case, also, it
must be remembered, that this little
vital machine cannot be at any time
stopped for repair. If it gets out of
order, it must be set right as it 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 jealousy
guarded from the intrusion of the eve
that it cannot even be looked into un.
til its action has ceased, is, neverthe-
less, a long history of wonders. By
means of the spymograph-s writing

tenn of levers and spring-the pulse
