again. He did SO and said 'sY our pulse has
gone down to seventy" then laid down
on the lounge, and saip: "Will you takcit
again!" He replied: "Why 1t is only sixty
four; what an extraordinary thing!" then
said: "When you lie down at night, that is
the way nature gives your heart rest; you
know nothing abont it, but that beating
organ is resting to that extent; and if you
reckon it up 1t is e great deal Of rest, be-
cause in lying down the heart is doing ten
strokes less minute. Multiply that by so,
and it is 600; multiply it
by eight hours and within a frac-
ton 1t is 5000 strokes different, and as the
heart is throwing six ounces of blood at ey-
cry stroke, it makes difference of 10000
ounchs of lifting during the night. When
lay down at night without any alcohol, that
is the rest my heart gets. But when you
take your wine or grog you do not allow that
rest, for the influence of alcohol is to increase
the number of strokes, and instead OF get
ting this rest you put on something like
$4,000 extra strokes, and the result is you
rise up very seedy and unit for the next
days work till you have taken a little more of
the 'ruddy bumper which you say is the
soul of man below.''
THE veracious ELI Perkins, in in Eng
land, and gives the following account of his
fishing experience in that countryr ~
found that over west of Warwick castle one
of the farmers who rented several hundred
or tbo 1yapt 10 hot oil
He permitted his guests to fish in the river,
a brook shallow enough to be forded where it
runs swiftly. noticed that the fishermen
always went out with tremendous assort-
ment of patent hooks and fancy flies. Like
all the rest he came back without any fish,
] never took much stock in fancy flies, 1
have always had better luck with plain grass
hoppers and angleworms. So, getting per-
mission from the landlord, took a pole and
went down to the river. Batting my hook
with good, old, fat American angleworm l
threw it in. In moment had bite, and
out came beautiful grayling. In went an
other .angleworm, and out came another
fish. was having fine sport when down
came the landlord all out of breath.
~ slsW-w-what have you got on your
hook?' he gasped.
''Angleworms, you fool, plain angle
worms,'' said hauling out another gray
ling.
s'Don't you know that's agin the laws'
s'Whats" 1 asked. "Whats agin the
laws"
stWhy fishing with angleworms. The pat
ent fly is the only thing allowed in Eng
land.n
The man was right. No one is allowed to
fish in English rivers with angleworms or
bugs. Only the patent fly is allowed, and as
the fish are all used to the artificial fly, only
they don't bite, and it is seldom they are
caught. If angleworms were permitted every
boy would be out fishing, and the streams
would be fished dry. AS it is the patent arti-
fetal fly is so expensive that only the rich
are able to fish.
If the landlord hadn't kept my fishing
secret these three angleworms would have
cost me fine of ESQ, or about thirty three
dollars and thirty-three cents a worm.
The London Pail Hall Gazette says two gigan-
engineering schemes are forcing themselves
on public attention. One is the proposal to
place railway tunnel through the Pyrenees,
the convention for which has just been
signed by the French and Spanish Interna-
tional Railway Commission. The other
scheme is for the formation of company to
construct an international railway connec-
ting Europe with Persia, India, Burmah and
China. 1t appears that Sir. r. NJ. Stephen
son, who has been endeavoring to arrange
with the Sublime Porte for the commence
ment Of the works in Turkey for the last
thirty-four years, considers that the negotia-
tons are so far advanced as to warrant the
formation Of company to work the conces-
sion, which he believes he will eventually
obtain. He proposes to raise, for making
the Asia Minor and Persia sections, capital
Of $50, 900, 900, Of which it is proposed $780,
900, 600 shall be saved by troops labor, leav-
ing $50, 900, 600 to be subscribed, in 600,0 1000
shares, of 500 eachSir. r. M. Stephenson's
hopes to induce the countries through which
the line passes to supply troops to make it,
are, we fear, doomed to inevitable disap-
pointment. There are three other great
schemes in embryo, namely, the Pana-
ma Canal, recently said to have been washed
ont, the African Inland Sea, and the flooding
of the Jordan Valley. The scheme for a
balloon, with saloon accommodation ad lib to
fl oat passengers across the Atlantic and cut
out the trade temporarily carried on by sew
eral lines of steamers appears to be rather
In allegiance.
IN the ten years ending In 1882 only 26, :
692 acres were added to the fruit lands Of
England. The most important Of these
paintings was that Of Lord Sudeley, in
Gloucester. He is the first of the large land
owners to turn his attention to methodical
fruit-growing on a large scale. He has
planted between 500 and 700 acres in fair
ly rich sell on the LAS formation. 1t was
deep ploughed and thoroughly MANFRED,
and apple, pear, plum, cherry, and damson
trees set in, 16 feet apart; 5000 apple trees,
Grenadiers, Cellinis, Warmers King, and all
the best kinds, were planted; the choicest
French varieties of pears were selected; A
different kinds Of plums, making $4,000
trees, were planted. Gooseberry or current
bushes and strawberry plants are set out be-
tween the trees to the number of hundreds
of thousands. The whole orchard is sur
rounded with thick belts Of poplars and
Scotch frs to shelter from wind. Several
acres are planted with orsers to make bas-
kets for the fruit. Buildings near at hand
have been transformed into factories for the
preserving of the fruit. Every conceivable
pains have been taken in this experiment to
render it a success, and its progress is being
watched with great interest. II 1t results as
