A Big Heart.


 have had the opportunity of as. sisting at the dissection of a whales heart, and, though the specimen from which it was taken was by no means large one, the task of disseoting seemed almost too large for us. A sllce about au inch in width was cut from the aorta, or principal artery, and careful ly dried. It really looks very much like a child s hoop, as any one may see who visits the Anatomical Musem at Oxford. It is calculated that with aR ordinary sized whale, say one of only 70 or 50 feet in length, at least fifteen gallons of blood are propelled in each heart beat. With animals of larger dimensions the amount must be pro- portionately increased, as is shown by by an anecdote related by Frank Buckland, He mentions that in 1850 a cachalot measuring 75 feet in length was washed ashore at Whitstable. While the dissector was engaged in getting out the heart his foot slipped and he fell into one of the "yentricles ri. e., thelower cavities of the heart. Thence he was sliding into the aorta, and, if he had not been pulled out, would assuredly have been suifocated. After his resue, he cat some rings from the aorta, such l have already mentioned, aud found tbat he could easily slip them over his shoulders. The story really reads Ike an extract from "Gullivers Travels, but has the advantage of being a true one. Long mans Magazine.

 On a rm among gentle undulasing hills foy miles from Eugene, Oregon, on the e stside ofthe Willamette Riy- CT, resIdgs Mrs. Allison. Miller, mother of Jeaqsir Miller, the "Poct of the SierrasN Over a year ago, despitethe protests other suns, she married Joe Allison, a farm hand, some l9 years of age. As Mrs. Miller was upwards of 65, the marriage proved anything but a happy one, The boy deserted her, and during the recent dreadfully cold weather she lived all alone, struggling through tho snow two or three times day t6 feed her horses and cattle It is on tl Is farm that the poet grew to- ward q ms estate save when he was living the wild woods with Digger IndianS enjoying camp life and the pursuits of the chase. The house is plain and unpretentious, The fences are in poor repair, although the owner is reputed rich among her neighbors, having many hundred acres
 "So this is the place where the com panion of Bret Harte spent many of his days?' said a correspondent of the Sun to Mrs. Miller.
 'Yes, this is the place; but bless you, I'm ai much of a poet myself as Joaqtp pn," she said producing from the deptha of an aged trunk a roll of man. uscrips which made me feel instinet- lively uneasy. Heres an epic, and here, another in sixteen eantos that I wrot, myself Oh, yes, We all dabble litt:e in poetry"

FULTON STREET PRAYER
MEETING

Among the speakers, one day. was
one who had been an intidel. He
was converted five years ago, he said,
and since enjoyed peace of mind to
which before he had been stranger.
There wis nothing satisfactory about
infdelity. In fact it was the hard
est belief in the world to believe in
nothing. A man was constantly
walking in the midst Of eOntradic-
tons. Everywhere, above, around,
in all the incidents and circumstances
of human life there was something
that affirmed the existence Of God,
an all-wise and all-ruling Being. A
man must deprive himself of sight,
hearing and reason in order to be at
peace in inidelty. To deny the exis-
tence of Creator, an intelligent First
Cause, was TO cut away the only So
luton of the mystery of life, to put
out the only light that shines upon
the dark ways of human existence.
Men found it hard sometimes to be-
lieve in things they could not see and
understand, to walk by faith and not
by sight, to give a hearty acceptance
to various points of Christian belief
which were not within the compass of
finite comprehension, but it must be
confessed that infidelity only piunges
one into the midst Of doubts and
mysteries a thousand fold greater
than any to he met in the pathway
of the Christian life. But more than
all, there comes to one who accepts
Christ in the fulIness Of faith a wit
ness within, voice speaking TO The
soul that sets all doubts at rest. The
Christian is content not TO know
some thiBgs, feeling assured that all
things, both within knowledge and
without, are in the keeping of one
who is wisdom and love itself.
Our leader one day gave us an ex
hortation TO seek the higher walks Of
Christian life. Let us bear in mind
he said, that the path of the jus

REINDEER HUNTING.

One sport that amuSeS the ESKIMO
boys very much would probably be
called in our language "reindeer hunt
ing" Having found long and
gentle slope on side-hill, they place
| along the bottom of the hill a num-
Der of reindeer antlers, or, as we
sometimes incorrectly call them, deer
horns (for you boys must not forget
that the antlers of q deer are not
horn at all, but bone.) These ant
lers of the reindeer are stuck upright
in the snow, single or in groups, in
| such manner that sled, when we'll
guided, can be run between them
without knocking any of them down,
the number of open spaces between
the groups being equal to at least
| the number of sleds. The quantity
| of reindeer antlers they can thus ar
range will, of course. depend upon
their fathers success the autumn be-
fore in reindeer hunting; but there
are nearly always enough to give two
or three, and sometimes five or six,
to each fearless young coaster.
The boys with their sleds, number
| ing flom four to six in a fair sized
village, gather on the top of the hill,
each boy haying with him two OF
three spears, or q bow with as many
arrows, They start together, each
boys object being to knock down as
many antlers as possible and not be
the first to reach the bottom of the
hill. You can see that, in such a
case, the slower they 60 when they
are passing the antlers the better.
They must knock over the antlers
with their spears or arrows only, as
those thrown down by the sledge OIL
with the bow or spear ia the hand dc
not count. They begin to shoot theil
arrows and throw their spears as
soon as they can get within effective
shooting distance and, even after
they have passed between the rows
of antlers, the more active boys will
turn around on their flying sleds and
hurl back spear OF arrow with suf-
ficient force to bring down an antler
When all have reached the bottom
of the hill, they return to the rows
of antlers, where each hoy picks out
those he has rightfully captured, and
places them in pile by themselves
Then those accidentally knocked
over by the sledges are again put NJ
and the boys return for another dasf
down the hill, until all the antlers
: have been 'sspeared. Sometimes
there is bnt one antler left, and wher
there are FIVE or sig contesting sleds
the race becomes very exciting, fo
then speed counts in reaching thu
antler first. When all are down, the
boys count their winnings, and tn,
victor is, of course, the one VINO ha.
=, obtained the greatest number of ant
lers.-St. Nicholas.

is said to shine more and more unto
the perfect day. 'sMore and more
that means progress-it means
growth. 1t is path, too, that
shines more and more unto the per-
feet day just as the morning first
breaks upon the world in faint flush
upon the eastern sky, and grows
brighter and brighter until the light
of the perfect day is ushered in. So
should the Christian life be shining
more and more, brighter and bright
er until the perfect day comes, the
day of the Lord, the day of Heaven.
A friend one noon likened the
PRAYER meeting to Aladdin's lamp.
The pessessor of that tabled treasure
had but to burnish it in order to re-
ceive anything he might wish at the
time. The speaker said that he had
come INTO the meeting hungry to find
his soul fed. He had come here
thirsty TO be refreshed, and had
come here with many other needs,
always to find them met. Perhaps
this might more correctly be said of
prayer itself, for assuredly prayer
compasseth all things.
Twenty-three years, friend said
he had been a very steady attendant
at these meetings. He never came
without some burden on his heart,
and never left without feeling that God
had given him a sweet relief. In this
connection the incident mentioned by
the missionary was suggestive. He
said that man once came so far as
the door of the meeting, and just
looking in was struck with the fact
that so many business men should
devote the noon hour to prayer. He
began to think that if they had time
to devote to religious matters, so
had be. The conviction deepened,
and he was soon seeking the Lord in
earnest.
What IS there that our God cannot
and will not give in answer to pray
err? 1t is some time since son was
prayed for who had become insane
and was, at the time the request was
written, in the asylum. Prayer was
made for him unto God, and the
good news was soon recorded that he
had been restored to his right mind.
A business man finding his way
hedged in and not seeing any human
source of aid open, committed his
way to the Lord, and sent his request
for prayer to the noon meeting. He
did not suppose that there was any
virtue about the prayers of the meet
ing, more than what is inherent in
all true prayer. But the sending
of the request seemed to him, and
rightly so, an act of acknowledgment
that God could and would help. And
God did help and that right early.
Many of the answers are acknowl-
edged here probably many more are
not. 1t is sometimes a question
whether the human heart is any more
grateful now than it was in the time
of Christ, when only one Of the ter
lepers returned to acknowledge the
cleansing so graciously effected by
the Lord. But faith finds its en-.
couragement not so much in answer
to It's petitions as in the sure word Of
promise. Gods Word says, "AsE
and it shall be gwen Faith believes
and believing rejoices.-Christia,

TOBACCO.

That tobacco is poison cannot be
doubted by any one who has expert
enced or witnessed the effects of the
first cigar upon one endeavorin9 to
acquire ''the manly art" Careful
observation and experiments by sci
entific men have established the fact
that it may cause gastric derange-
ment, heart disease, neuralgia, con-
WILSON'S, and marked depression of
both the nervous and muscular sys-
tens.
As with arsenic and other pOisons,
its use that the immediate and notice.
able effects will be but pleasant.
Close observation, he,wever, will gen
orally reveal some chronic disturb
ance, and sudden stoppage of the
habit will often, though not always,
develop marked symptoms of poison
ing. The action of this drug is large
ly determined by the size of the dose
and the age and temperament of the
individual; phlegmatic adults, like
the Dutch, are comparatively nnaf-
fected; but people of nervous dis
position are most surely and serious
ly poisoned.
The special object of this paper is
to call attention to the alarming ex-
tent to which cigarette smoking has
spread among boys. Tobacco in
this form is less apt to cause prima-
ry symptoms, as nausea, prostratlon,
etc., but because of its mildness the
smoke is inhaled, and this. with the
great number of cigarettes consumed,
is sure to produce deep and lasting
effects, so insidiously that they are
seldom attributed to their real cause.
We Americans are nervous peo-
pie, living at a high pressure, and
consequently should be the last to
use tobacco. But it is during the Pc
Rod of growth, when the tissues of
the body are in the formative state
and active changes are taking place
in them, that they are most suscepti-
bic to modifying induences-it is dur
ing boyhood that the use of tobacco
does the most harm. The growth is
stunted, the powers of body and
mind enfeebled, craving for stimu-
lants is apt to be developed, and
there is great liability to chorea or
some other nervous affection, and to
heart disease.
Investigation revealed, some years
since, that in the University of France
the scholarship of those addicted to
tobacco was materially lower than
that of those who did not use it. Note
the diminutiye size of the Spaniards,
Portuguese and Cubans; for genera
tions the cigarette has been almost
constantly in the mouths of the wo-
men and children as we'll as of the
men. These people are excessively
nervous and lack Drawn, their
strength being principally nervous
energy; a condition of things for
which tobacco is largely responsible.
The boy will not reason, he cannot
realize the Importance of this ques-
ton and it rests with the tact of his
guardian to induce him not to touch
tobacco. 1t is useless to hope that
at any time short of the millennium
will we see the use of tobacco en-
tirely eradicated, but we must check
it so that it's dimensions will not be
so huge as to threaten the future of
the nation.
