the other evening, studying the fire in {
reflective mood, building a pretty fancy
gbout jet of flame, only to have it &C
out in smoke, and wreathing about 6
Slowing coal a chaplet of happy
thoughts, only to see it shoulder and
fade away into dust and ashes. At last
he said to his wife:
"My dear, would you be sorry if ]
we're to die?"
\. "Dont talk that way, Topnoody,'
she replied. "Of I would"
Sometimes, my dear, I think il

"But you could find some n else to

Il knowit, Topnoody, but you musnt

"Why not, mydear?" he persisted
thinking a tender chord was touched.
Because black is so awfully unbe-
coming to me, and you know I'd have

Sweat.

The skin is an organ as much as the
lungs. AS the latter contain millions
OF minute cells, by which their princi-
pal work is done, SO it is with the form
er. These cells, in both cases equally,
connect with the external world by
means OF tubes through which waste
products are conveyed out of the svs-
tenn.
Most Of the organs of the body. be-
sides their " proper work, do more
or less "v~icarious" work; that is, work
belonging to some other organs. So
the sweat glands, when the system is
specially charged with poisonous mat
ter, or other organs IRE partially OBJ
structed or permanently destroyed, may
carry off more or less of the special
poisions accidently taken into the svs-
tenn, as well as the systems own waste
products. In rare cases, the sweat has
contained blood.
But the chief product of the sweat
glands is water, holding in solution
chloride of sodium, or common salt.
This varies greatly in different persons
and IN different circumstances, but ay-
erages about two pounds q day. Under
the influence of cold the glands are
much less active; under heat, much
more SO.
Thus nature Utilities the sweat to
regulate the temperature of the body.
Certain drugs also increase the amount,
and thus hasten the elimination eff waste
N poisonous products. In this way
colds and some other feverish condi-
lions may often be checked.
1t is now known that there are spe-
cial nerves that control the action of
the sweat-cells; that sweating is due to
the action of certain nerve-centers, and
that it is on these, primarily, that heat
and sudorfics (sweating-drugs) act,
though there are some few drugs which
act directly on the glands.
In the same way certain emotions act
on the nerve-centers, and thus cause
profuse perspiration. So also does q
condition of the blood in the
sweat preceding death.-Yoath's Com

A Huge Bullion Shipment.

The Northern Pacific will very short
ly commence the handling of: Helena
treights, consigned to points east, on a
Large scale. The extent of the outgo-
ing traffic can in some measure be es-
timated by the demands of our mining
people for transportation of bullion and
ores. A single negotiation has lust
been censummated for the movement
from Helena to Newark, N. j.. of l.
100000 pounds of Gregory bullion,
This has been arranged for through the
First National Bank of Helena, To-
day Mr.. Aauser received q dispatch
from President Willard, stating that he
had directed General Manager Haupt
to provide a apecial train for this par
t1cular shipment, to go through to des-
tlnatlon without breaking bulk. It will
require fifty cars to transport this one
cargo of bullion to market. 1t is stip-
ulated to have the shipment in readi-
ness for the railroad by July 4. Teams
for the past fortnight have been haul
ing the heavy bars to the backgrounds,
where they are being stacked in long
rows along the side tracks. The first
train load will be followed by many
more like it. With the Gregory Re-
duetion works increased to the capaei-
ty projected, a round 100000 pounds
of bullion freight will be in readiness
monthly for the Northern Pacific trains
eastward. Add to this output of the
Wicks works, which, enlarged and i'm
proved as is this year intended, and
the estimated monthly bullion product
to be moved from Helena to the Attain
tic seaboard will fall little if any short
of 100000 pounds, and may reach a
round 100000 pounds. Just as soon
as the Red mountain district is made
accessible and it's boundless ore bodies
converted into bullion, we shall be
prepared to double the figures, end
keep the railroad going daily with train
load after train load of metal freight
age. From one end to the other of
the line no section or district of like
area will in tho near future become so
large a patron of the Northern Pacific
as Helena and the region Immediately
about it.-Helena On. To- Herald.
