consist Of these microscopic units, the
nature Of which it is necessary to appre-
ciate, especially with reference to the
liver's work and duties. Cells are really
the workmen of the living frame. They
are composed of living matter Tor "proto-
plasm") in their typical development,
and it is through the work and labors of
the different cells Of our bodies that the
life physical, and 1 may add the life
mental also, are maintained. For cells
in the tear-glands manufacture tears,
just as cells in the sweetbread manufac.
ture sweetbread juice, or just as cells in
the salivary glands are responsible for
the making of saliva. 1t is the cells of
the brain which are the physical instru-
ments through which the work of govern
ing and controlling the body is carried
on. And if we go back in our body's his
tory to its very beginning, we shall find
that, to start with, it arose from single
living cell we call the oUum or germ.
Whatever may be doubtful about life
and it's action, this at least is certain,
that all our bodily work is performed by
means of the cell colonies which compose
the most vital and most active constitu-
ents of our frame. Like other organs,
then, our liver is essentially built up of
living cells, the hepdtic cells of the anat-
omist. They are aggregated in clumps
which form the "lobules" of the liver,
each lobule measuring from the one
tenth to the one-twentieth of an inch in
diameter. A lobule is really an epitome
of the whole liver. If we may ascertain
the functions which one of these little
clumps of liver cells discharges. we may
be sure of knowing the work of gland
as whole. Regarding the liver cells
themselves, they are of course utterly
microscopic bodies. In diameter they
vary from the one thousandth part to the
| one two -thousandth part of an inch. OF
yellow color, the microscope shows us
that their protoplasm, or living matter,
is of granular nature, and exhibits oil
| globules in it's substance.

THE STORY OF THE LIVER.

Recent investigations and discoveries
have shown that scientists are just be.
ginning to understand the human body.
In that organism no organ plays more
vital part than the liver, about which
Professor Andrew Wilson, of the Univer.
sity of Edinburg, has written popular
article for the May Harper's. embodying
in it the results of the latest scientific
research. Prof. Wilson says:
The anatomical facts regarding the
liver are easily appreciated. By way of
a rational understanding of the liver's
work. it is necessary to become acquaint-
ed with the liver's build. 1t is the big
gest organ in our body, weighing as it
does. between three and four pounds.
Its color is of chocolate brown, tinged
somewhat with burnt-umber hue. Ly-
ing to the right of the stomach, it is
sheltered under the lower ribs and be-
low the big muscle Tor "diaphram')
which separates the chest from the
bodY's lower cavity. Convex above, it is
followed out below. and its right side is
thick and rounded, in opposition to its
thin left border. Solid in its substance,
we find the liver to be marked off into
five unequal parts. or divisions or "lobes."
of which the right lobe is the largest,
the left lobe ranking next in point of
size. Now this big gland, as regards its
essential structure. is found to be com.

Ernest Remains Marriage.

Nine. Ernest Renap. the widow of the
famous philosopher and historian, was
the niece of the painter AIRY Scheffer,
and the daughter of the less we'll known
Henri Scheffer. An interesting anec-
dote is told in connection with Ernest
Remains marriage. When he announced
his intention Of marrying Mile. Cornelie
Scheffer, his sister. Henriette. who was
devoted to him and of whom he was
passionately fond. declared she would
never put her foot inside her brothers
house if another woman entered it..
After hesitating for some time, Renan
at length determined to sacrifice his be-
trothed for his sisters cake, and told
Cornelie Scheffer how matters stood,
and that he must give her up. How
ever, Henriette Renan. on hearing of the
sacrifice her brother had made, immedi-
ately went to see Cornelie. The two
rivals made up the quarrel. the wedding
took place, and Henriette and Cornelie
Renan were ever after the most attached
of friends. The marriage was celebrated
in 1856. and the sister lived with the
young couple until her death which &C.
cured four years later. Renan wrote a
charming pamphlet inscribed to her
memory, in which he gave delightful
account of their journey to. Syria. where
Henriette died. The pamphlet. printed
for private circulation, is out of print

HORTICULTURE.

When plants are lifted which are to
be laid away to be reset the following
summer. cut off the tender branches and
blossoms. In box about five inches
deep place them in dry dirt; this should
then be placed in cool, damp, dark cell
lar. The stems will die back a little;
cut them off few inches more when
placing them out in the spring. They
will not need water during the winter.
Plants may be kept from blossoming
for many days, after they are budded, by
placing them in a cool place; and if
bulbs which are put away for winter
should begin to grow sooner than is de-
sired, they should be re ported at once
and put where the temperature is lower,
but. of course, not where they will freeze.
Is there hole in one of the old trees
about the house, near the base? That
uneightly cavity will make grand
flower pot. The rich soil you put into
it will keep moist in the shady spot. A
luxuriant vine may be made to grow
there. thing OF real beauty in your
lawn. Let it be winter proof; wood
bine, perhaps, with it's autumn glories
and great hardness.
Ground for an orchard should be as
well prepared as for wheat or corn. 1t
should have natural drainage. if posi-
BILE; if not. by deeply laid thing; trees
will not thrive if the roots are water
logged. The young roots will need every
aid they can get from fertilization, as
they require plant food for good start.
A tree we'll planted is half grown.
Subsoiling to the depth of 16 to IS
inches allows the SHOWS and rains of
winter and spring to soak into the soil.
instead of running away. AS soils can
take up from 30 to so per cent. of their
weight of water. large amount is stored
for the use of plants in dry weather.
The spraying of trees should COM
mence when the blossoms fade; let it be
repeated in about 10 days. Then do it
again about month later. and once
more six weeks after that. This should
suffice for the season. If the appearance
of the leaves indicates that the poison
has adhered to them. fewer sprayings
may suffice.
The Japanese honeysuckle has ten
dency to form thick masses, and not to
climb to great heights. as do the Chi
nese and the Holleana. There is moth
ing better than this for thickening up
bare hedges or single shrubs, or trees
which may need it. Give it rich earth,
for the shrubs may have exhausted the
ground already there.
When nursery seedlings have received
frequent cultivation, the invariable re.
suit is that when followed by corn a
large increase in yield is noted; some
times many per cent. above the average
yield of that same ground. With such
preparation and culture nursery fields
hold sufficient moisture for fair growth
in dryest years.

AN OLD-FASHIONED WAIST.

1t has become quite the custom with
many ladies to keep on hand one or two
waists of a couple of seasons back and
wear them when it is necessary to go out
for shopping, driving or other outings,
when one is not likely to remove the out
side garments.
This is so convenient and agreeable
and has suggested itself to SO many
women that it was quite little surprise
the other day when few fashionable
women met at public gathering. One
of them invited number of her friends
to her house to take cup of tea. but
one and all had some excuse. Finally
one, more outspoken than the rest,
said:
Il would be delighted to go, but really
l cannot. am not dressed for it, When
l go out without any intention of MAX
ing calls. | put on waist with small
sleeves. for the large ones are not only
uncomfortable but are SO easily spoiled"
There was general exchange of CLAN
ces, and, without exception, every woman
who had declined the invitation said:
"Well, that is just the trouble with
me-"
The would be hostess laughed and
insisted on having an old-fashioned tea,
as she called it, where small sleeves
should be the rule. as she herself wore a
waist of that sort.
1t certainly is great saving to leave
the big sleeves at home, saving in COM
fort and the wear and tear of handsome
fabrics, but it is inconvenient il one
wants to accept an invitation where a
fashionable dress is necessity.
One woman has solved this problem
by making little cape of lace and ac-
Gordon plated Japanese Grape. This
she rolls in snug parcel and carries in
long pocket in the inside of her wrap.
1t is always on hand, and covers the
tops of her sleeves to the elbows. She is
wont to declare that she can carry a
fashionable toilet in her muff and make
herself ready for any emergency by this
simple device.-Ledger.

Even yet some can not be satisfied as
to whether wheat ever turns to chess or
cheat. Chess is we'll known and dis
tinct grass, and where sown reproduces
itself perfectly. Wheat, when so isolat-
ed that there can be no error made.
always produces wheat, and nothing
else.
An Eastern farmer puts clover hay in
his NOW, alternating with it layer of
oat straw. The latter thus has the
flavor of the hay impaired to it, and
while it, of course, contains no more nu
triment than formerly, it smells and
tastes better, and animals fed upon it
eat it all up clean.
A large crop of potatoes will always
pay profit, while small or medium
crop will often be grown at loss. This
loss will be liable to occur with small
crops this year. owing to the high price
of seed. If you have in smaller field
than usual, we suggest that an earnest
effort be made to get as large product
from it as from double the area last
year.
Something can be done with that poor
farm if you will give your mind to the
problem. There should be no aband-
oned or waste farms near our centers of
population. 1t can be turned over to
sheep, to an orchard or to timber.
Something will grow there Of value, and
you must find out just what it is. Per-
haps some one variety of apples will
make for you fortune.

In an editorial on the Pope's eneycli.
cal to the English people on the reunion
of the Anglican and Roman Catholic
churches, the London Times says the
document was doubtless intended to con-
vey that on doctrinal points no compro
mise could be thought Of. Lord Halifax
and his friends. the paper adds, would
do well to take this salutary lesson to
heart. The reunion of the churches isl
mere dream, and the Pope has done his
best to make this perfectly plain.

1t is not good plan to pasture sheep
in the same lot with horses, COWS nor
hogs. These large animals are apt to
disquiet the sheep and interfere with
their steady grazing.
Sheep have their ups and downs much
as do other kinds of live stock, but on
the whole they serve as a safety valve
to the live stock farmer. Not often do
all kinds of live stock fall fiat at once.
That phase Of the sheep industry which
now most appeals to the pocketbook lies
in the direction of meat production.

SKAlING RECORDS BROKEN.
Fast Racing ON Ice by John N. Veil
son, of minneapolis.

MONTREAL, Feb 2-John N. Nelson, of
Minneapolis, skating under the colors of the
Victoria Hockey Club, of Winnepag, is the
nero OF the hour tonight, for, thanks to his
piucky racing, two worlds records were
broken this afternoon at the championship
skating meeting of the amateur skating as
ISOLATION of Canada. The immediate result
is that Tom Eek says he intends to take him
10 Europe with johnson. Nelson, however.
states that he will not go unless his ex-
penses are given him cash down before
hand Seven thousand people. half of them
ladies, watched the races from beginning to
end. Johnson appeared in only three events
part of the 2:20 race and the one mile and
hve mile. He Won the last two. His fast
time was due to his being forced to his ut
most by Nelson. The excuse given by
Johnson for not skating oftener was that his
skates were too slippry.
The two races in which worlds records
were broken were the three-mile and the
one-mile. In the three-mile only Davidson,
Hudd. Moshier and Nelson started. The
man from MINNEAPOLIS set the pace in both
events, winning the former ana being only
headed by johnson at the finish of the mile.
His time for the three-mile, S:48 2-5, knocks
$50. seconds off the best previous record
is Is 10 seconds faster than anything on
record. In the five mile, Nelson again
forced the pace. He fell, but recovered him
self and finished a plucky second, only a
yard and a half behind Johnson. The wealth
or was cold but bright.

DETROIT DENTIST KILLED.
DIR. Horace E. Pope Drained b. His
Wife's Nurse.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. DIR. Horace E.
Pope, a dentist with an office and residence
on Michigan avenue, was killed this morn
ing by William Brusseau. Mrs. Pope's
nurse. According TO the story by Brusseau.
he found Doctor Pope sitting on his wife's
bed holding a cloth saturated with chioro-
form over her mouth. When Brusseau
entered the room the Doctor fired at him,
but missed. The nurse seized a Ratchet
and buried it in the skull of the man. Tn
lawful relations between Brusseau and Mrs.
Pope are said to have been the cause of
frequent and bitter quarreis between the
Popes. and the police believe this led to
the murder.
In unearthing the circumstances surround
ing Dr.. Pope's murder, it is learned that
Mrs Pope had urged her husband to place
heavier insurance on his life. He had ac-
cordingly been insured for 1900, and but a
few lays ago transferred the payment of
the policies from his estate to his wife.
