About one year ago my daughter commenced

can take much longer walks. Her humor Is
nothing compared with what It was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, Is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And

The Speed OF Trains.

1t is the general belief of Englishmen that
their trains are the fastest in the world, and
that American trains are, on the whole
rather slow coaches. The cable dispatch to
the Times to the effect that the engines from
Chicago to the Milwaukee fire went ninety
miles in little over an hour has caused the
English papers to look up the matter of rail
road speed. The Flying Dutchman is the
fastest train in England. and its greatest
speed is 539 miles an hour. This rate is only
kept up between London and Swindon juno
tion. The train leaves Paddington Station
at in the afternoon and reaches Swindon
at 4:27, the distance being III miles The
Great Western is broad gauge, and that
seems to be the only road that can get up
such a speed. The average speed of the Fly
ing Scotchman from London to Edinburgh is
fraction above "A miles an hour. The
Great Northern fast train to Leeds gets over
the ground at the rate of 45.4, and similar
train to the same town by the Midland
makes 43.5 miles an hour. The Wild Irish
man goes from London to Holyhead, dis
tance of 264 miles, in hours and 35 min
utes, or little over Al miles all hour. 1t
appears that the Britains have not much ex-
cuse for calling their trains Wild or Ely
ing" this or that. A Detroit Free Press
correspondent has ridden on the locomotive
Of Canada Southern mail train that
stopped at every station, train that might
be called the Sleepy Kanuck, yet it averaged
80 miles an hour between the stations.

A Discussion on Solitaire.

An Exchange, which probably speaks from
experience on the subject, says: Solitaire is
not game that requires deep thought nor
profound study, and its principal uses seems
to be to induce people to sit around grocery
stores and wear out the day trying to beat
some imaginary power that is supposed con-
troll the cards. Solitaire playing is proof
positive of poverty and laziness. No man
with $40 iu his pocket eyer played solitaire,
and no man with ambition enough to hunt a
jod on the wharf was ever guilty of such an
act. Under chain of circumstances so un-
likely to form any basis for calculation, a
man might play salitaire to determine upon
some course of action; but if he did, it is a
thousand to one the cards, out of spite,
would lead him astray. The solitaire player
is seldom seen in bit saloon, never in a
frst-class place. He eats sausage and crack
ers and smokes clay pipe for which. when
not playing, he spends his time in begging
tobacco. A man who would play solitaire
would be too lazy to steal; the solitaire
player is therefore exempt from police sus-
picion.' @

Action of the Heart.
lEdinburg Review.


AS with each stroke the heart projects
something like six ounces of blood into the
cOnduits OF the system, and as it does so
some seventy times minute and 4,2OO
times an hour, this implies that it does the
same thing 100000 times in twenty -four
hours. 30OO0,0OO times a year, and more
than 2,5OO,O00,O0O times in life of seventy
years. The mechanical force that is exerted
at each stroke amounts to a pressure OF
thirteen pounds upon the entire charge OF
blood that has to be pressed onward through
the branching network of vessels. Accord
ing to the lowest estimate that has been
made, this gives an exertiOn of force that
would be adequate, in another form of ap-
plication, to lift 12O tons one foot high
every twenty-four hours. Yet the piece OF
living mechanism that is called upon to do
this, and do it without pause for three
score years and ten without being itself
worn out by the effort, is a small bundle of
flesh that rarely weighs more than eleven
ounces 1t is in the nature of the case, also,
it Inust be remembered, that this little vital
machine cannot at any time be stopped for
repairs. 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 delicately guarded from the
intrusion Of the eye that it cannot even be
looked into until its action has ceased, is,
nevertheless, a long history Of wonders. By
means of the sygmograph-a writing style
attached to the wrist by system of levers
and springs-the pulse is made to record
actual autographs of cardiac and vascular
arrangement.
