Little Brothers. Place.

Little Brothers. Place.
An East Side man, the father of
very interesting family, recently had
occasion to throw his shoulders back
couple of notches farther, and lift his
head little higher. 1t was all on ac-
count of new arrival in his family in
the shape of an eleven pound boy. AS
soon as the nurse thought best, the
father called his children about his
knee and surprised them with the start
ling information that they had new
brother, AS he expected, they were all
desirous of viewing the new arrival and
SO the excited urchins were led into the
room where the little one lay. AS was
natural, each one had some comment to
make on the appearance of the infant,
but the only one worth chronicling was
that of little seven-year-old sister.
She stood for several moments, eagerly
scanning the baby's features and then
turning to her father with troubled
expression on her face, said: Papa. it
is shame for us to stand here and
stare at him in this manner, see how
embarrassed he is His face is simply
burning with modification" The father
had to acknowledge that the baby's
face was pretty red and taking the
child's advice they all withdrew. -

HOW WE GROW OLD.
Deteriorations of the Secretions of the
Body.

Deteriorations of the Secretions of the
Body.
Anatomical researches respecting the
influence of age upon the bodily tissues,
have in recent years revealed some very
interesting and important facts. 1t has
been observed that in consequence of
advancing age. after middle life the
capillary vessels of the body gradually
diminish in number, through the with
ering and obliteration of many of these
small vessels, until, in advancing age,
the number of capillaries, and hence
the area, of this portion of the circu-
lation IS very greatly diminished. An
other change also begins after middle
life, which is of still greater impor-
tance. Up to about the age of forty
years, the pulmonary artery, the large
vessel which carries the blood from the
heart to the lungs. is larger than the
aorta, the vessel by which the blood is
distributed to the body in general. The
consequence of this excess in size of
the pulmonary artery over the aorta, is
a high blood pressure in the lungs and
consequently more complete puritica-
Ilon Oh tile ploou from us GASEOUS lln-
purities than would otherwise occur.
After middle life, the pulmonary artery
decreases in size, and the aorta in
creases. This fact, together with the
increased resistance which the blood
meets in consequence of the diminished
capacity of the pulmonary vessels re-
suits in a gradually increasing accumu-
lation of carbonic acid gas in the blood,
which reacts upon every organ and It's
sue in the body, lessening its activity,
and causing a deterioration of every Sc
cretion.-Dr. J. Ii. Kellogg, in Good
