The Human Mechanism.

Just as every well regulated system of
transit possesses telegraphic communion
tions and in places automatic switches and
signals, so all parts of the human mechan-
ism are controlled by nerves, the head cen
ter being in the brain and numerous sub
sid%ry, Offices situated in various parts of
the body. The organism has advantages
over all ordinary systems of transit mas
much as the arrangements for automatic
communication are more complete and
numerous than any transit system pos
sesses. And very fortunately is this the
case, since all the vital functions, including
circulation, respiration and digestion,
might otherwise cease to he performed
Ihe mechanism being complete and the
food supply sufficient, the growth of the
body depends on the multiplication of cells
As to the origin of cells opinions differ,
the German school holding that each new
cell proceeds from Il prior cell, while the
French school declares that some cells are
produced spontaneously from the plasma
Certain it is that in the lymphatics the
white corpuscles of the blood are found in
abundance, the same that are found in the
living plasma and are always numerous in
the vicinity of wounds where repairs have
to be made
Further, where anything serves to check
the flow of this white blood, either by eff
fecting the nerves that control the lymph
atlcs and lacteals or these organs directly,
bodily growth is checked. To some such
influence we attribute the diminutive stat
ure of the "Liliputians." = New York

where the Line Was Drawn.

What mystery is woman! How tender,
now gentle, how forgiving! Like a moss
rose, her love sheds its delicious perfume
over her husbands heart and home. She
loves for the sake of loving, and where she
has once given her heart there IL stays, and
all the personal abuse and bad treatment
heaped upon her by the object of her affec-
ton only causes her to worship him with
increased devotion. as the violet, when
crushed under foot, gives forth a sweeter
fragrance.
But there are some things which a hus-
band can do to this mysterious creature
that will turn her love to hate and make
her fly off in search of sharp az or le-
gal separation. A woman in Illinois has
created a mild sensation by suing her hus-
band-not for a divorce. but for her false
teeth, which ne took away when she in
sisted upon biting him.-Galveston News.

Pure olive Oil from California.

The convention of olive oil producers.
recently assembled in this city, took a de.
cided stand for pure, homemade oil. This
stand was not taken a day too soon. When
a few months ago some official tests were
made of the purity of olive oil it was
found that some brands, or rather certain
lots, had already been adulterated. The
temptation IS very strong to keep spuri-
Gus article on the market. Cottonseed oil
and some other vegetable oils will ALWAYS
be cheaper than pure olive oil. The i'm
ported article is continually sold at a lower
price than that produced at home
The area suited to olive culture in this
country has never been accurately defined
In general terms it may be said to include
the country on the western side of the
Sierras, below AZ degs. of latitude down to
and including parts of Arizona and New
Mexico. Beyond this territorial area it is
not probable that the olive will make much
of figure. Indeed, there is strong proba-
bility that for at least a whole generation
the only state in the Union that will get
much commercial prominence for the pro-
duction of the olive will be California.
The growers who have already become
producers here are pioneers. Olive orchards
have been planted almost as freely during
the last two or three years as apple or plum
orchards. The area of olives not now in
bearing is greater than that in fruitage.
The planting will go on in coming seasons.
because there is satisfactory evidence that
the business will be a paying one. The
convention has now established the very
conditions of su uccess-concerted action Sc

\ Gallo Find in Denmark,

An antiquarian find, which will excite
interest all over Europe, has lately been
made in Roevemose peat bog, near Hobro
in Jutland, Aalborg Amt. The objects are
all of silver, the principal piece being a
very large basin, on which have been fas-
tened plates of silver hammered out with
figures of men, women and animals. The
basin is twenty-six Danish inches in diam
eter, but scarcely eight inches high. One
or two pieces are apparently wanting; but
it is hoped they will turn up when the
moss is minutely examined.
The eyeholes of the figures are now
empty, but had evidently been filled with
colored glass. One of the plates, which is
nearly seventeen inches long, shows war
riors, with helmets and other ornaments.
One figure is a god with a wheel at his
side, and on another are two elephants. A
third shows a horned god in sitting pos
ture with his legs crossed orientalwise.
All these have apparently nothing to do
with northern mythology, as was at first
supposed. The whole find has now reached
the Danish national museum, and we see
that these pieces belong to the god lore of
the Gallo peoples The god with the
wheel, for instance, is the Gallo sun god
Fhe whole is the work of a Gallo artist at
that early period when the Roman and
Gallo peoples first came in contact. Al
lowing time for these things to wander so
far north, the date would seem to be, as
regards Denmark, the first century before
Christ. Other things belonging to this
Gallic group have been found previously
III this country. The total weight of
precious metal hitherto exhumed is about
twenty Danish pounds.-Academy
