The Growth OF n Heart.

DR.. Benecke of Marburg has made
known his curious observations on the
growth of the human heart, the fact ap-
pearing that the increase is greatest and
most rapid during the first and second
years of life, its bulk at the end of the
second year being exactly double what it
originally was; between the second and
seventh years it is again almost doubled
A slower rate of growth now sets in,
until about the fifteenth year, the aug
mentation Of volume during the interven-
ing seven or eight years being only about
two-thirds. In the period of maturity
which now approaches the growth Of the
heart again makes progress, the increase
keeping pace with the advance toward
maturity of the other portions of the sys-
TEN; after the fifteenth year, up to the
fiftieth, the annual growth is about 061
of cubic inch, the increase ceasing
with the fiftieth year, a slight diminution
then ensuing. Again, in childhood the
male and female heart are alike; after
maturity the male heart develops more
than the female, and the difference be-
tween the two that is thus established
one and half TO two cubic inches-is said
to be maintained throughout the re-
mainder of life.-Medical Journal

being taken TO each lot, and fresh half dozens
of chickens would be laid down as fast as
those sold were taken away. The porters
were brawny fellows in hats of heavy felt
painted white and with brims about fourteen
inches wide. They in all cases carried the
goods upon their heads, and they were dressed
i'm the peasant costume of France.
In another pavilion l saw live rabbits
auctioned Off in basket lots of about dozen
each, and in the meat markets sides Of pork
and quarters of beef were disposed of i'll the
same way. The whole scene was one of
rush, blood and bedlam. One could hardly
hear his own voice, and the very air seemed
mad with buying and selling. The fish
market presented the same scenes, and the
snails and frogs and other Shiny things were
iobbed Off in lots. The butchers porters
looked worse than the most characteristic
murderers of the stage They had white
caps covered with blood, and carried their
meat in some cases upon their heads. Their
aprons and white gowns were also bloody,
and when looked at them and the rough
women of the markets the scenes of tile

Two mighty heroes of the turf have
fallen from their high perch Of fame and
are now classed with the rest of the
worthless and cast off horses. Only last
week poor old Drake Carter, who only a
few years ago was worth his weight in
silver, was sold at public auction for the
paltry sum of 500. What pity! Would
ii not have been better for his owners to
have given him the much-needed rest
that he had earned instead of letting him
go, probably to have to end the days of
his existence by pulling plOw? Many q
turfman will remember this gallant son
of Ten Brock four years ago at Mon
mouth park. Green Morris, who then
owned him, came in from the west and
won the Omnibus stake. On that same
afternoon, Mr.. p. Lorillard purchased
Drake Carter from Mr. Morris for Sf7,-
500, the highest price ever paid in this
country for gelding.
Another sight to see is the gallant old
gelding Checkmate, the hero of many
hard fought turf battles Only couple
of years ago his name was on the tongue
of every turf enthusiast. Every one was
urging his praises. Now he is driven to
the stage, between Midway and Yer
sailles Only last week he was unhitched
from the stage and taken out on the track
at the Fair Grounds and ran mile in
1:41. But such is fame. Our good deeds
are soon forgotten, and when the time
comes for US to retire from active service,
we are soon forgotten and others soon
take the place yacated.-LeXington (Ky.)

But at the stage door there is quite diff
ferent state Of things The stage door is gen.
orally on a side street and is always dark and
dingy. The curtain falls on the last tableau
The musicians put up their instruments and
adjourn to the nearest beer saloon. The fairies
and amazons skurry to their dressing rooms,
the lights are put out in the auditorium the
front doors are closed and to all appearances
the theatre is deserted, but devoted little
band is gathered around the stage door These
are the inevitable loungers who don't know
anybody on the stage, but who are consumed
with n wild desire TO make the acquaintance
of a live actress. For some unexplained rea-
son these hopeless ones are generally shabby
in appearance. There are the young dudes,
gorgeous in evening dress, who are honored
with the acquaintance Of some young woman
in the chorus and who stands about the stage
door, not so much to meet the girl as to show
the world that they really do know some one
in the theatrical profession. Very often the
fairy or amazon they are waiting for simply
honors them with a nod and hurries off to
keep an Engagement with some other man. but
the dude Is happy all the same, he has been
recognized. Then there are the husbands of
the members of the company and the omni-
present small boy. 1t is easy in the motley
assemblage to pick out the men who are
their legitimate business husbands or
friends The knowing ones, the gay roue, the
man who has an intrigue on hand, does not
haunt the stage door-not unless he is very
green-he walks carelessly up and down the
opposite side of the street, or waits in a cab
around the corner.
And out of the stage door comes an equally
varied procession. The leading lady steps
into her coupe or walks down the street ON
the arm of her husband, or Of the man who
is for the time being officiating in that ca
pacity. The male members of the company
stroll off in twos or threes, and the
chorus, the gorgeous amazons and
fairies of the foothghts appear, now
shorn Of their glory and clad, some
modeStly as becomes young girls making
SIS a week and some gorgeously, suggesting
an outside source of income. These are the
objects of admiration of the stage door mash
ers. And it is not strange that young girls,
who have TO work hard, for life in the chorus
is one of the most wearing employments pos
sible for girl to go into, are tempted by the
prospect or a jolly supper and an hours fun
where they can pour the tale of their troubles
into sympathetic ears, and, too, there is al
ways the possibility of securing financial
@backer.' For there is not a girl in the

Nonsense Concerning "Green Rooms"
The Greenest Thing About Them Is the
Reader who Believes the Yarns-Mash-

t'souSpuodssIIo1 uIasdS1
NEW York, Oct ll.-There is a vast
amount of nonsense written about the
"green rooms" of theatres, and it seems
to be a generally accepted notion that
orgies of the widest description are nightly
held in these mysterious, verdant-hued apart
ments Especially in theatres where anna
zonian marches and scant drapery are seen,
are the "gieen rooms" supposed TO be the
favorite lQunging place of the gilded youth
about town who tlirts with the ballet girls,
opens dozens of champagne between the acts,
and plans the destruction of the virtuous and
hard working young coryphee who supports
her widowed mother and eleven small
brothers and sisters by toiling nightly
on her toes at Sll a week. This sort Of
stuff makes excellent padding for the sensa-
tional correspondent, and furnishes subjects
for effective illustrations. The only trouble
is that it is not true. The green room" as
it does exist, is stuffy little apartment, fur
nished with number of cheap chairs and
large mirror, and is used by the walking
ladies and gentlemen" as waiting room
when their services are not required on the
stage The star goes to his or her dressing
room or stands in the wings, according to the
length of the wait. The beautiful amazons,
fairies and other creatures of tights and tulle
are marched off to the big dressing room
assigned to them with military precision. The
green room fun is a wild fgment of the lurid
imagination of the space writer. An outsider
rarely crosses its uninviting threshold, and

ton is the reader who swallows the yarns

The 5000 Partisan HoteIs-A Table

Market In the World.


PARIS, Sept. 29-Paris stands at the top of
the gastronomic world. Her cooks are ex-
ported to every quarter of the globe and the
chefs Of other nations come here to study the
culinary art. The noted negro caterer,
Wormley, Of Washington, who made $780,

and diplomats there, sent his sons TO Paris 10
study French cookery, and the day has come
when the American millionaire would sooner
think of doing without his carriage than his
chef from Paris Sam Ward, the late noted
lobbyist, passed many a bill through the dishes
which he learned how to prepare in Paris,
and Presidents jackson, jefferson and Arthur
had their dinners gotten up by cooks from
France.
Paris is a city of hotels and cafes, and it
has been described as a gigantic mousetrap
with three doors, labeled respectively Hotel,
Cafe, Restaurant There are in the city be-
tween 5000 and 9,O00 hotels, and the restau-
