A Comedian. Check.

There was once a comedian who out
financed Edward E. Rice. Startling as the
statement may seem, it is nevertheless true
that when this farceur retired from Mr.
Rice's company he owed the company $70O
To Mr.. Rice the condition was not alone
unusual-it was also irksome. One morn
ing, when he was fretting under it, he
learned that the actor had secured a first
rate engagement at a large salary. He
sat down and wrote an urgent letter, fin
ishing with demand for an immediate
remittance of "a check for seven hundred u

Translated from the original metaphor.)
To the Editor of the Journal.
Fifty cents worth of silver and 80 cents
worth of law make one dollar.
'An appreciated gold dollar is "a bad
thing" but silver dollar appreciated to
the gold value is "a good thing"
Supply and demand are figures Of speech
used to signify that prices must be high
and stationary.
The folly of one generation is the wis
dom of another: therefore. the use of law
made money at this time would not only be
wise, but convenient and profitable.
Crimes are of omission and commission.

Tho Properties Of Cocaine.

Travellers in Peru and countries where
cocoa grows chow the leaves Of this
plant for the purpose Of allaying the
sense of hunger and the feeling of ex.
haustion that accompanies it. At first
the leaves were thought to possess food
elements. but now it is known that the
cocaine they contain merely allays the
irritability Of the nerves that produce
the sense Of hunger.
Cocaine is an alkaloid made from
the cocoa leaf, which has the effect OF
completely destroying the sensibility Of
nerves. The discovery Of this active
principle Of the cocoa leaf explained
fully and satisfactorily the effect pro-
duced by chewing the leaves An infu.
sion of the leaf might be used with
good results in allaying the gnawing
appetite that follows some forms Of fe-
yer, or in cases where the sense Of hunger
IL due to a diseased condition Of the
stomach.
Cocaine should never be used except
ON the prescription Of trustworthy
physician, because 1t is dangerous. The
cocaine habit is more readily formed
than either the morphine or the liquor
habit and Is far more rapid in it's work
of destruction. Commercial

A Remarkable Toad.

! In Surinam there is remarkable
epadlike creature, the female of which
carries the young in series of cells in
the thick skin Of the back, which as.
sumes strange honeycomblike appear
ance. When this lady toad is carrying
her nursery about with her, she is q
very repulsive looking object. Single
handed she would be quite unable to
cope with the important question Of
placing eggs where they will be most
favorably disposed for Matching. and for
this she has to rely on the good sarvicea
Of her mate. Soon after the eggs are
laid they are taken up by the male and
pressed. one by one, into the cells in the
thickened skin Of his partners back
There they grow until they fit closely
to the hexagonal form Of their prisons,

The Work Of the Heart.

One Of the most remarkable things
about the heart is the amount Of work
Il does. Considering the organ as a
pump whose task is to deliver known
quantity Of blood against known
"head," It is easy to show that in "a
hours 4 mans heart does about 124 foot
tons Of work. "In other words" says q
contemporary. If the whole force ex.
pended by the heart in "a hours were
gathered into one huge stroke, such q
power would lift 1874 tons one foot from
the ground. A similar calculation has
been made respecting the amount Of
work expended by the muscles involved
IN breathing. In "a hours these muscles
Do about 81 foot tons of work. -
