Madison, Wis, Sept. 29.--The State
Board of Normal Regents is tied upon
the Normal School at Superior. The
committee appointed by the board to
select site visited Superior and
chose location from among the sites
offered TO the board when it visited
that city, but after the selection was
made the board was informed that the
site chosen had never been rendered.
The committee, after comforting with
other members of the board, gave
notice to the city that when the deed
of the site selected was forthcoming
it would lay plans for building the
school. and not before. This leaves
the citizens of the northern metropolis
only one thing to do if it wishes a
Normal School-to purchase the site
selected and tender the deed thereto
to the board. Otherwise it may be
some time before the school is built
there.

All for vanity's sake.

A famous duchess in London recently
went through the ordeal of having a
dress made on her own figure. She
stood for three hours while the dress
makers wrought fifty yards of rare old
lace that could not be cut into gown
for a soiree, at the close of which every
stitch had to be carefully cut and picked
out before the lady could disrobe. The
amount of torture that fair woman will
undergo in the name of vanity would
astonish the martyrs.

Several of our readers have inquired
of us the meaning of ''cloture." 1t is
a French word meaning closure. a
stoppage, an end. The word closure
was first used in parliamentary prac.
tic in the British House of Commons
in 1882, for pntting stop to debate
and securing an immediate vote upon
measure before that body. 1t has
since been adopted by many legislative
bodies. and the congress of the United
States adopted rule the other day,
that embodies all the word implies.

& PuIsatiOns and Power OF the Heart.
The workings of the human heart
have been computed by celebrated
Psychologist, and he has demonstrated
that it is equal to the lifting of 100 tons
in twenty-four hours. Presuming that
the blood is thrown out of the heart at
each pulsatfon in the proportion of six
ty-nine strokes per minute and at the
assumed force of nine feet, the mileage
of the blood through the body might be
taken at 2O7 yards per minute, Z
miles per hour, los miles per day, 81, 800
miles per year, or 5,150,ss0 miles in a
lifetime of 81 years. In the same
period of time the heart must beat D.
S69, nc, 900 times.
