times when one is lying down to give
the heart rest, and that organ conse-

lure. Multiply that by 60 minutes,
and it is 900 strokes. Therefore in
eight hours spent in lying down the
heart is saved nearly 5000 strokes,
and as the heart pumps six ounces of
blood with each stroke It lifts 10000
ounces less of blood in night of eight
hours spent in bed than when one is

Painless tooth Drawing.

Before the days of chloroforn
there was a quach who advertised
tooth drawing without pain. The pa
tient was placed in chair, and an in
strument applied to his tooth with a
wrench, followed by roar from the
unpleasant surprised sufferer.
"Stop! cried the dentist, Compose
yourself. l told you l would give,
you no pain, but ! only just gave you
that twinge as specin en-, to show

"Now, pray be quiet-that is Park

By this time the tooth hung by a
thread; and whipping it out, the ope-
rat,r exulting'y exclaimed. This is

Freezes Water In a Kite.

A Yankee farmer in Brazil who
ionged for ice water has utilized a
kite for the purpose of obtaining ice.
He fills tin can with water and sends
it to the height of three miles, where
it is promptly frozen. After suffi-
cient interval the kite is rapidly hauled
in and the cake of ice secured. The
inventor is so pleased with his toy
that it is said he new proposes to send
up a kite $50 feet lorg by a steel wire
cable. Under the kite will be sus-
pended pulley, over which runs an
endless chain bearing cans attached
to hooks. The cans will be filled with
water and the speed of the belt upon
which they will run will be regulated
so that the topmost cans will be coD-
verted into ice sufficiently hard to
withstand the downward journey.

"For of Such is the Kingdom of
 Heaveu."

Wirt Wendell Robertson; born July II, 1895; died September IS, 1896.
 The angel of death entered the home of Mir. and Mrs. Peter T. Robertson, on Friday last, and bore away the spirit of their son and only child, Wirt Wendell, in whom the affections of the parents were centered. The little one had been a sufferer for many months, and his release from corporeal pain, although an evidence of the tender mercy of divine Providence, is never theless a heavy bereavement to the parents, for whom great sympathy is felt by their many friends and acquain- tanceS.
 The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon from St. Pauls NJ. E. Church, under the auspices of Rescue and Globe lodges, LODE, assisted by members of Globe lodge, A.O.U.W., and in the presence of a large number of sorrow ing friends. The beautiful and i'm pressive service of the Odd Fellows WAS performed at the church and grave, accompanied by appropriate music rendered by the choir, and with many tears and regrets a mothers greatest treasure was laid to rest.
