ovERBURpENED HEARTS.

The heart at seventy beats a minute will
beat 1900 times an hour, and 100, 500 times in
one day Of twenty-four hours. With five
ounces of blood propelled at each beat, 5l4,.
600 ounces are propelled each day, or3l, 500
pounds. Imagine 81, 500 pound balls on the
edge of a platform. and let strong man be
required simply to lift the balls one foot
and drop them from the platform. He
would work well if he landed twenty in n
minute, or 1900 in an hour. By continuous
work for twenty-four hours, without mo-
ment's rest, he would lift and drop 2S 800, or
2700 less pound weights than the action of
the heart represents. Plainly we see he
could not perform the supposed task for one
day, nor indeed for twelve hours continu-
ously. No living man is the equal in his
muscular ability to his own heart in the line
of action. And yet it must be remembered
that this heart is simply in size like ones
closed hand, and weighs only about ten
ounces. Truly there is no such powerful
piece of machinery known to man. Its mo-
tion also is perpetual-it knows no rest until
life ceases. Now. the moderate drinker will
consume two ounces of alcohol each day.
This alcohol accelerates the action of his
heart by 6000 beats in twenty-four hours, re-
quiring it to propel 10000 onnces more OF
blood, or shoot forth 1875 pounds in addition
to its ordinary enormous work. Poor, dear
heart The drunkard has no pity on it, and
it is no wonder that it seeks relief in an early
death. of Gospel Liberty.

AGRICULTURAL STATIONS.

The good work which is being done
in the various agricultural experiment
stations of this country is amply demon.
ST. ted by the experiments of the past
year. From the periodical pamphlets
compiled by the able scientists in charge
of these stations we can judge of the
merits of the work, and it gives us
pleasure to bear testimony to the useful
ness and excellent results attained by re-
cent experiments. Theories are good,
but stubborn facts are what we need
most, and it is because our knowledge
ou many subjects has been advanced by
the work done at the agricultural expert.
ment stations that we deem the scientists
in charge worthy of such high praise.
Enlightenment in regard to the science
of agriculture is certainly much needed,
and no one can maintain that the agri.
cultural stations are not doing their ut
most to supply this need. Indeed, our
only fear is that they will 60 ahead too
fast However easy it may be for them
to arrive at satisfactory results by means
of simple experiment it cannot be ex-
pected the average unscientiic agricul-
turist will arrive at the same results with
equal case and it might therefore be
well for the scientists to pause OCCASION
ally, in order that their less erudite
brethren may have time to thoroughly
test the experiments. We make this
suggestion on the assumption that the
object Of those agricultural stations is
not solely to advance the cause of pure
science, hut also to benefit and instruct
agricultuusts. Experiments which show
coHclusively that improvements are pos
sible in some branch of agriculture are
of inestimablc value, and the more popu-
lar they become the greater benefits will
be reaped through them. Popular, how

word they can hardly become, at least
for a considerable time, unless pains be
taken to bring them to the notice not c.

There are four ways of handling man

In the construction Of their houses,
which are built Of wood without an
atom Of paint, the japanese, unlike most
builders, begin with the roof. This is
built on the ground, and when framedis
covered with shingles about the size of
two fingers, as thin as a sheet of paper.
When it is done they raise it on four
corner. posts, and it is pleasure to see,
it is so light and yet so strong. The
walls are made like the side-scenes in a
theatre, of thin strips of wood, over
which are pasted sheets of a cottony,
transpai ent paper. They are slipped in
TO grooves as soon as the roof is raised,
and the house Is finished without the use
of a nail. In the evenings when the
lanterns dispense their soft light round
the inside of these white buildings, the
spectator seems to be looking at magic
lantern. During the day time the sides
OF the houses are slipped out aud tie
house becomes only roof resting on the
four light corner posts, the whole inter.
ior being thus opened to the air. Every
part of it is exposed to view and every
thing done in it can be seen, while be-
hind it appear the charming little
gardens situated in the rear. The great
luxury of the Japanese consits in their
mats made Of plated straw. They are
perfectly rectangular in shape, about
three inches thick and soft to the touch.
They are never stepped on with shoes,
since the japanese go about their houses
always barefooted. OF furniture they
have next to nothing; a small furnace in
one corner, closet made like the sides
of the house and intended to contain the
mattresses, small set of shelves on
which are arranged the lacquered plates
for rice and fish, this is all the furnish
ing for these houses, in which they live,
as it were, in the open air. In the mid
die of each house are two articles of
general use among all classes-brazier
and box for tobacco. Being great tea
drinkers, great smokers, and great talk
ers, the japanese pass great deal of
their time, in groups of seven or eight,
seated on their heels around the tea
kettle.-Detroit Free Press.

Big Potatoes and Turnips.

E. j. Lawrence, farmer at Peace
River, Canada, says:
With the most ordinary cultivation, we
grow from two to four hundred bushels
of potatoes, and upward, per acre. The

three and one-fourth pounds, and, from
three pounds of Early Rose seed, dug
672 pounds of sound potatoes.

TREATMENT OF A BROKEN HORN.

There is no difficulty in repairing a
broken horn, as only the shell of it is
lost, and the inner core quickly secretcs
the horny matter for a new covering. As
good a way as any to treat tho injury is
to wrap the horn core in a strip of cot
ton cloth smeared with common tar, hut
not gas tar. This protects the tender
core from the air, aud the new covering
is made in a short time without any more
attention. The baudage may be left on
until it falls off, or it may be removed
after week or two.-New York Times.

STRONG DRINK AND THE CHILDREN.

Strong drink which is responsible for so
much cruelty and suffering, affects, with
perhaps its worst results, the children. 1t
Is sometimes said that if you let drink alone.
it will not hurt you, but the experience of
the children who do not themselves take it,
but who are in many cases victims to fear
full extent of its demoraliZing influence upon
parents and guardians, sufiices to show that
even those who do not themselves indulge in
it. may be, and many times are, among its
most unhappy victims. The Seventeenth
Annual Report of the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
for the year ending December 81, 1891, fur
nishes many striking and painful illustra-
tions of the way in which children are thus
made to suffer through strong drink. 1t APP
pears that for the year 1891 the society re-
ceived and examined 1895 complaints of
cruelty TO children; that it instituted 2S02
prosecutions, and secured 276l convictions;
that it rescued 1888 children from pernicious
surroundings and that it sheltured, fed
and clothed 1897 children in its re-
ception rooms, aud T.. it inves-
tigated in addition, 1851 Cas5s of alleged
cruelty, at the instance of the Police Justices
and the courts. These figures represent
great deal of timely and valuable labor in
behalf of exposed and victimized childhood
and show that the society discharges a most
useful function in this metropolis But it is
safe to say that thres-fourths OF its work is
rendered necessary, either directly or indi-
rectly, through the agency of strong drink.
In very many of the cases recorded IL has
been obviously a chief factor of the cruelty
from which children have suffered. In one
case mentioned in the report, an officer OF
the society was detailed TO care for little
Rose Hoffman. He found the little creature
crouching in a corner of tue apartment be-
fore her drunken mother, who was stagger-
ing toward her in a drunken fury, shouting;
f'pll kill you, you little brat; I'll murder you
for this !" aud Just then the officer put in an
life was really in danger. The report says of
the mother who was taken to the station
house, "Shs behaved like a mad-woman;
drink had literally crazed her" Her two
little ones were taken from her and COM
nitted to the American Female GUARDIAN
Society, National Advocate.

Simple Relief for Lung Troubles.

1t has been long known that pine
needle pillows would alleviate
persons afflicted with lung troubles,
and O Florida editor relates an
in support of the fact as
follows: During a visit to the
home of a most estimable lady
living on Indian River. this editor
was told of q discovery that had
been made which may prove a
boon to sufferers. from lung or
bronchial troubles. This lady
having heard that there was
peculiar virtue in a pillow made
from pine straw, and having none
of that material at hand, made
one from fine soft pine shavings,
and had the pleasure of noting
immediate benefit. Soon all the
members of the household had
pine shavings pillows, and it was
noticed that all coughs, asthmatic
or bronchial troubles abated at
once after sleeping few nights
on these pillows. An invalid
with lung trouble derived
much benefit from sleeping upon
a amattress made from pine shaw
ings. The material is cheap, and
the Christian at Work says it
makes a very pleasant and
comfortable mattress, the odor of
the pine permeating the entire
room and absorbing or dispelling
all un pleasant odors.
