Floods estate is valued by good
judges at SIS, 900, 900. At the height
of the bonanza excitement, when shares
ON the leading mines brought 5000 and
paid $50 month dividend, Floods
wealth was rated at $40, 900, 900, but
then came the great shrinkage in Com
stock values, which cut down the for
tune of all the mining millionaires fully
.one-half, and Floods losses by the
Nevada Bank wheat deal were fully So,

equally divided between the wife, son

by dipping into boiling water about a
minute.
2. That fish may as well be scaled if
desired before packing down in salt,
though in that case do not scald them.
3. salt fish are quickest and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk.
4. That milk which is turned or changed
may be sweetened or rendered tit for use
again by stirring in a little soda.
5. That salt will curdle new milk,
hence in preparing milk porridge,
gravies, etc., the salt should not be added
until the dish is prepared.
6. That fresh meat, after beginning to
sour, will sweeten if placed out of doors
in the cool of night.
Z. That clear boiling water will re

A Suggestion for old Boxes.


Do mothers and nurses know how
much enjoyment and fun can be had out
of different styles of boxes that we SO
ruthlessly destroy2 II all the members
of the family will save the boxes they
are forced to remain indoors, that a trip
to the attic (where the boxes can be
kept will afford great deal of amuse-
ment. The little girls of the family will
select good sized box for new kind Of
dolls house, and mamma or nurse can
easily teach them how to cut cardboard
furniture to furnish this little house. If
it is summer time, make tiny house out
of an old cardboard box, and paste on
to it dried moss, then set it on single
and have little gravel path leading up
to the door. On one side have bit of
looking-glass for a pond, and some
branches of evergreen boughs for trees.
You can add whatever else you like to
make it look like an old fashioned farm
house. This simple toy has kept little
girls happy for whole summers.
The boys can use the boxes for thea
tres, Punch and Judy and many different
kinds of shows
The baby will be amused with an old
tin box. some beans or pebbles put inside,
and the outside covered with some bright
colored flannel after the cover is firmly
fastened. This will make good rattle,
and if string be tied to the box
it can be drawn on the floor, or be sus-
pended from the chandelier and swung
if the baby is too young to walk.
All these simple things have been
he'ps to many mothers and nurses on
rainy days, when the expensive toys of
the nursery have grown old and the lit
tie children are longing for something
new.
When you go away from home for the
summer put some boxes and bright col.
ored papers and cloths into your trunk;
you will find them useful and very ac-
ceptable when the children cannot have
their own nursery or the toys it contains.

MECHANISM OF THE HEART.
The Working Of the Machine Whose
stoppage Means Death.

In the human subject the average
rapidity of the cardiac pulsation of an
adult male is about seventy beats per
minute. These beats are more frequent
Ms \ rule in young children and IN
women, and there are variations with
in eerixins limits in particular persons
owing tn peculiarities of organization.
It would not necessarily be an abnoi-
NAL sign to tind in some particulars
individuals the habitual frequency of
the hearts action from sixty to sixty
five or from seventy-6ve 10 eighty per
minute. As rule the hearts actions
is slower aud more powerful in fully
developed and muscular orga MIA
tions. and more rapid and feebler in
those of slighter form.
In animals the range is from twenty
five to forty-fve in the cold-blooded
and fifty upward in the -blooded
animals, except in the case of horse,
which has very slow heart beat, only
forty strokes minute. The pulsati"ns
Of men and all animals differ with
the sea level also. The work of a
healthy human heart has been shown
to equal the feat OF raising five tons
four hundred weight one foot per hour
orl25 tons in twenty four hours. The
excess of the work under alcohol in
varying quantities ss often very great.
A curious calculation has been made
by DIR. Richardson, giving the work
of the heart in mileage.
Presuming that the blood was
thrown out of the heart as each pnl
sation in the proportion of sixty-nine
strokes per minute, and at the assnm-
ed force of nine feet, the mileage of
the blood through the body might be
taken at 207 yards n minute. seven
miles per hour, 16s miles per day, 6i,-
$40 miles per year. or 5.l50,es0 miles
in a lifetime OF 81 years. The num-
Der of beats of the heart in the same
long life would reach the grand total
of 2,S69, ,776,0 900.
