Mechanism of the Heart.

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 as a rule in young children and in women. and there are variations within certain limits in peculiar persons owing to pecu- iarities of organization. It would not necessarily be an abnormal sign to find in some particular individuals the habit ual frequency of the hearts action from sixty to sixty-tive or from seventy-fve to eighty per minute. As a rule, the heart action is slower and more power ful in fully developed and muscular or ganizations, and more rapid and feebler in those of slighter form. In 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 a very slow heart beat, onl y forty strokes a min ute. The pulsations of men and all ami mals differ with the sea level also. The work of healthy human heart has been shown to equal the feat of raising five tons four hundredweight one foot per hour, or 125 tons in twenty-four hours. The excess of this work under alcohol in varying quantities is often very great
 A curious calculation has been made by Dr. Richardson, giving the work of the heart in mileage. PresHming that the blood was thrown out of the heart at each pulsation in the proportion of 69 strokes per minute, and at the assumed force of 9 feet, the mileage of the blood through the body might be taken at POT yards per minute, miles per hour, 169 miles per day, 61,32O miles per year, or 5,150, ,SSO miles in lifetime of 84 years
 The number of beats of the heart in the same long life would reach the grand total of 2,S69, TIC, ,000.-Medical World.

Caterers and Bon yivants.

The late Sam Ward, one of the most celebrated bon vivants and epicures, is said to have originated several novel forms of cooking different meats and vegetables which he kept a profound secret to his death. The most noted chefs of the present day, both in Europe and America, are as indefatigable In their experiments as are scientists. As a result nearly every one of them makes a discovery of some kind in the culinary line which he is wont to guard against publicity as sedulously as does the detec- live his initial clews in an important criminal investigation.
 In general way cooking among the aristocratic and wealthy has undergone many manifest changes during the last two centuries. Our most popular cater PTS would be likely to stand amazed if they could be for a brief hour translated into the Sixteenth century to witness one of the swell banquets of that period. Then princely tables were arranged with an eye single to splendor. Notwith- standing this they used to have delicious things to eat. Moreover, their table manners of that age must have been superior to ours in many respects, for one was required to possess a sort of in tuitive knowledge of the many dishes prepared simply for shows sake-to be seen, not eaten.-New York Press.

Diamond Thieves of Zululand.

The illicit diamond buyer, who incites the Kafirs to steal diamonds, is a thorn in the digger's side. Often the illicit buyer gets a S4,OO0 stone for S400, but if he is caught in his crooked work and convicted he is sure to suffer a penalty of fifteen years hard labor. The law is very stringent, and there is no way of getting away from it. It is illegal to own a diamond unless one is a claim holder or a licensed buyer. If private individual wishes to purchase a stone or two for himself, he must first obtain a permit from the authorities. These precautions will be seen to be necessary, because the value of the diamond, it's portability, the facility with which it can be concealed and the uncertainty regarding its exist ence make is a source of temptation to dishonesty among all classes. It is, therefore, against the law for any one, even if licensed buyer, to purchase a diamond from any one not a claim holder, unless he can produce his permit -Globe-Depocrat Book Review.

Tho NiythoIogy of India.

In India the great serpent Ali (whence our word ''adder"), and the dragon Vritra, who caused drought and physical evils, being therefore mere demons, were succeeded by the demi-devil. Ravana. He is described in the Rymayana as having ten heads, twenty aHms, copper colored eyes, and bright teeth like the young moon. He was a breaker of all laws, es- pecially a ravisher Like Satan, he is of Celestial origin, and even ill his lapse so potent, by reason of former sanctity, that he made each of the gods perform some menial office for him. He bore on his great form the scars of India's thun- derbolt and Vishnu's discus, but reigned on still until Vishnu became incarnate as Rama, by whom the royal devil was slain. The Singhalese demons (Rak- shasas), over whom Rayana reigned, re- mained, and are still dreaded (under name of Bhuts in India), but they had to wait for long time for another chief. This was Mara. originally the Hindoo Gu pid, who, when Buddha preached the evil of existence, naturally (as the god of reproduction became the adversary.
  the universe he declared without begin ming, destined to be without end; it was entirely bad, and the only salvation of man was to escape not merely from the earth, but from existence altogether. On this purely negative foundation Budd hism has built up system in which the Hindoo deities survive as angels, help f1l or n1iSchiavOuS Mara bein0 it's Satan and Buddha its Christ. Nirvana, how ever, still retains for a large proportion of Buddhists its original signifcance-a realm of unconsciOusnesS-c conscious i'm mortality being for the bad, who will be punished by automatic torturers formed from their own evil desires. The Budd- hist solution of the problem of evil is purely pessimistic. Nature is essentially bad; any appearance of good in it is an illusion which, if pursued, leads from bad to worse.-Moncure D. Conway in The Cosmopolitan.

Russia's Surpassing Military Power.

Russia surpaSses every other nation in her cavalry branch and its resources. She still clings to the non-repeating rife, the Berdan. and does not seem inclined to displace it. Even with her lately con- structed strategic lines, she is sadly defi- cient of the means of mobilization. Be- sides maintaining her frontier zone, she Is obliged to sustain on the east force sufficient to support her menace against the Balkans. While, in comparison to Germany and France, she is inferiorly oficered, owing to the franchises yet en- joyed by the nobility, the virtues of her troops are beyond question. Napoleon paid them deserved tribute. ''It does not suffice to kill the Russian soldier, said he; ''you must then knock him over. |" And even now the Roumelian delights to tell how the Russian, beaten back from the cannon's mouth seven times in one day, came sweeping on over the dead, to win at last.
 He is brave to rashness, full of enter prise, and shares the Frenchman's prefer ence for the bayonet. His poverty, his dirty clothes, worn to the threads, his seeming indolence and clumsiness, i'm press the beholder unfavorably at first sight. Yet these characteristics are ex- ternal proofs of merit. Immobile in ranks, he is impulsive and persistent in action, passive in obedience, tenacious in battle; he is sensitive to kind words, suffers privation as a necessity of his ex- istence and supports the most trying fo4 r. l. combines the stubbornness of the Teuton with the valor of the Gaul. He has the ferocity of the Turk in conflict and the mercy of the Christian after. Of this the work left by poor McGahan bears abundant testimony.-E. D. Cowen in Chicago News.

Funeral Customs in Turkey.

When a Turk dies. the relatives are forbidden to weep but rather rejoice that a saint has reached Paradise; so tears are quickly suppressed, no matter how hearts may ache. As soon as breath has quilted a body, the professional dresser of the dead is sent for, and a most thorough system of cleansing car ried out. The body is then wrapped in a winding sheet, outside of which the clothes of the person are placed. Then a very frail wicker or thin board coffin is brought, and into this the body is laid, and sometimes even before it is fairly cold it is carried to the cemetery and buried. The graves are very shallow, not over two feet deep. A coin is put into the mouth of the dead person to pay his passage across the ''river of death" The reason of the frail coffins and the shallow grave is that the body may de- cay more quickly, as it is thought that the soul will go wandering around and not be able to enter the abode of the blest as long as any flesh remains on the bones.
 Men only are supposed to inherit Para disc, the women having an inferior order of souls, unworthy the exquisite joys prepared for all devout believers. The women who have been unworthy in life will go to Shaitan tor Satan) and those who have been good will go to pleasant place where all their senses will be grati- fled; but this life is all they can look to for its own recompense. The funeral procession generally consists of a priest and few male relatives and slaves, who go on regular jog trot with the corpse on their shoulders, so as to hasten the release of the soul from its agony of union with dead carcass They believe that the body is dross and vileness, and only the worthless covering for the spirit within, that cannot die nor be defiled. So when a Turk dies, only his useless and valueless covering of clay falls off like disused garment, and he himself is de- ivered from its dragging load.

Carrier Pigeons for East Africa.

Could not carrier pigeons be put to practical use in east Africa? One grand difficulty with which European enter prise has to contend there is that of getting intelligence from the interior to the coast. The distance, seldom as much as 800 miles, is practically insurmount- able; and MT. Stanley, for example, has disappeared for so long time as to ex- cite the gravest fears. It is impossible to put up telegraphs until we can punish those who steal the wires, and messen- gers cannot be relied on. They can cover twenty miles day; but sometimes they are killed, sometimes they are frightened, and sometimes-veryo often they loiter for weeks at the villages, un- able to comprehend why white men should be so punctilious about time. There are years before them, why hurryf The consequent intermissions of informa- tion impede all enterprise, and make every enterprise leap into the dark. If a pigeon post could be established, as it might be, for instance, with Emin Pasha, it would make news fairly cer tain.-London Spectator.

The Adhesive Postage Stamp.

Patrick Chalmers, of Wimbledon, England, has been engaged for some years, and apparently with much success, in demonstrating to phillatelists that his father, the late James Chalmers, of Dun dee, was the inventor of the adhesive postage stamp. The credit is usually given to Rowland Hill, who succeeded in getting penny postage adopted, and cer- tainly rendered a great service in so do- ing, but it is claimed he took his idea from postoffice blue book of 1886, and that, when the idea was becoming fail ure in practice, Mir Chalmers saved it by his device. In fact, a German writer has pointed out passage in the Penny Cyclopedia" wherein it is said that MT. Hill stated that the idea did not originate with him. When he died, about eight years ago, and the London press gave him the entire credit of the postal re- forms, there was general protest from Dundee, where more than thirty years before Mir. Chalmers had been presented with a testimonial in honor of his having originated the adhesive stamp.-Chi cago Times.

A Co1ored Prisoner in Florida.

The average negro sees no terror in the jail. It affords him great deal of fun, unless it be in watermelon time. It is to him what going to the sea shore is to the Caucasian, arelief from toll. and a season of rest most thoroughly enjoyed. When Sambo emerges from this forced, but no less agreeable, sequestration of tue jail, he becomes an object Of interest to his friends of the house of Ham.
 "When did yo' get out, Bill2" said one of them to fellow who had just with drawn from ten days engagement with the city.
 "'Bout half an hour ago"
 "What sorter time like dye have2'
 "Fust rate; plenty to eat, nice room to sleep in-no one there to bother me, so slep' nigh all CT time. Had a white man to wait on me, too. Yes, sir, had first class white man ter bring me water, an kerry out my siops; m gwine in again pretty soon."
 He seemed especially proud of the fact that he had white man to wait on him, and this fact greatly amused his hearers. Hamilton Jay in Detroit Free Press.

English Justice.

An English cartman, after good record of fourteen years, has been sent to prison for a month for stealing two oranges, worth one penny, from some goods he was carting for large firm of jam makers. The court solemnIy announced that the gravity of the of fense did not lie in the value of the goods, but in the breach of trust to- ward an employer.-Philadelphia Led ger.
