The Smile Drill.

Probably very few persons know what a
smile drill is II Is one of the pleasant
and harmless pranks with which the naval
cadets at Annapolis refresh their powerful
minds, when jaded with great intellectual
exertions. The upper-clasS man holds up
one finger, and the poor lower-class man
must smile-just little. Up goes another
finger and the smile mnst broaden; still
another, and it is wider than before. At
last all the fingers are up, and the grin is
stretched as far as grin can be. This
rather painful situati IN can be prolonged
until the cruel upper class man is tired of
seeing the other fellow smile. Then he
closes his hand. and the smile must in
stantly cease. Prompt obedience is the
essence of the smile drill, as of every
other.
President Cleveland is putting the Dem
ocratic party through smile drill on the
question of free trade. He put up one fin

Mechanism OF the Heart.

In the human subject the average
rapidty of the cardiac pulsation OF an
adult male is about seventy beats per
minute. These beats are more frequent
as a rule in young children and in women.
and there are variations within certain
limits in peculiar persons OWING to pecu-
liarIties of organization. 1t would not
uecessariiy be an abnormal sign to lind
in some particular individuals the habit
ual frequency Of the heart S acton from
sixty to sixlv-five or from seventy-fIyc
to eighty per minute. As a rule, the
heart action Is slower and more power
ful in fully developed and muscular Or
carnations, and more rapid and teebler
in those OF siighter form. Ia animals,
the range is from twenty-five to forty
five in the cold blooded and fifty upward
in the warm blooded animals, except IN
the case Of a horse, which has very
slow heart beat. only forty strokes min
ME. The pulsations of men and all ami
mails 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 hundredweight one foot per
hour. or 1o5 tons in twenty-four hours.
The excess of this work under alcohol in
varying quantities is often very great.
