Hawaiian matters, has received letter
from ex-Minister Stevens stating that he
would come to Washington and

Mr.. Stevens would prefer, ow-

last January, Mr.. Stevens has been in
poor health, and his advanced age--74
years-precludes hope Of substantial i'm

The Organism Of Man.

In the human body there are 263
bones. The muscles are 500 in number.
The length of the alimentary canal is
about 80 feet. The amount of blood in
an adult averages 81 pounds, or fully
one-fifth of the entire weight. The
heart is 6 inches in length and inches
in diameter, and beats 70 times per
minute, 1900 times per hour, 100, 800
per day, 36,792, 900 times per year,

at each beat q ounces of blood are thrown
out of it, 175 ounces per minute, 656
pounds per hour, n tons per day. All
the blood in the body passes through the
heart in three minutes. This little organ,
bySits ceaseless industry, pumps each
day what is equal to lifting 122 tons one
foot high, or one ton 122 feet high. The
lungs will contain about one gallon OF
air at their usual degree of imitation.
We breathe on an average 1900 times
per hour, inhale 600 gallons of air, or
"a, 900 per day. The aggregate surface
of the air cells of the lungs exceeds
20, 00O square inches, an area very nearly
equal to the floor of room twelve feet
square. The average weight of the brain
of an adult male is 3 pounds and s
ounces, of female pounds and A
ounces. The nerves are all connected
with it, directly or by the spin&msrrow.
These nerves, together with their
branches and minute ramifcations, prob.
ably exceed 100000 in number,

IOWa's Wonderful Ice Give.

One of the greatest curiosities in the
Mississippi Valley is a natural ice civo
which is located in the bluffs of the Iowa
River within less than mile of Decorah,
the county seat of Winnesheik County.
This unique curiosity is indeed natural
icehousc-a cavern in which great icicle,
may be found at any season of the year,
being especially fine in summer, partic-
ularly when the weather is hot and dry
outside. The bluff in which the cave is
located is between 200 and 400 feet in
height, it being necessary to climb about
seventy five feet up the side of the bluff
to reach the mouth of the cave. The
entrance is tssure about ten feet in
width and between fifteen and twenty
feet in height, from which n constant
current of cold air issues. Thirty feet
from the mouth of the cave the passage
turns to the left and downwards, towards
the river bed. The slope is gradual,
however, and the walls and roof are with.
in easy reach all the while. After you
have reached spot 100 feet from the
opening you entered it is noticed that
the walls aud roof are covered with frost.
Twenty feet further thin coating of ice
is noticed, which increases in thickness
as you go into the bluff.-St. Louis Re-

Rallied at the Sneaker.

Doctor Hildreth, in his "M ,moirs of
the Early Settlers of Onio," devotes a
chapter to Abraham Whipple, of Rhode
Island. He was born in 1873, and was
one of the first to take hand in the
Revolutionary War. In 1886 he was
elected representative to the Legislature
from the town of Cranston. The advo-
cites of the paper-money system were
then in power, and had chosen Oshniel
Gorton, a clumsy old man, for Speaker.
Gorton was in the habit of keeping a
large quid of tobacco in one side of his
mouth, winch pressed out one of his
cheeks. Most of the debaters were on
the opposite side of the hall from that
on which Commodore Whipple sat, and
the Speakers face was commonly turned
that way. oacc, in the course of the
debate, Whipple had cogitated speech,
which he waited for an opportunity to
deliver. At last, out of patience, he
rose and called: "Mr. Speakerl" The
Speaker, whose face was turned the other
way, did not hear him. He raised his
voice to its utmost: "Mr. Speaker!"
Gorton started, aud turning to the Con.
modore, said: 81 hear you" There.
upon Whipple began: ''I wish, Mr..
Speaker, you would shift your quid of
tobacco from your starboard to your lar.
board jaw, that it might give your head
a cant this way, so that you could some.
times hear something from this side of
the house." Then he went on with his
speech,
