Some Odd Facts Connected With the
Human body.
London Mail.

Human beings are OF all sizes but the
TAN man Is less common than the short.
only one in every 20S exceeds the height
of six feet For every foot of stature a
man should weigh from twenty-six to TWEEN
ty-eight pounds. a proportion that is not
the lot Of all in these hurrying scurrying
days.
An average sized man weighs 40 pounds:
woman l2o pounds. Curiously enough,
the mean weight and height of lunatics are
below those OF sane people. Another unex-
pected thing In this respect is that a ne
gro's skeleton weighs more than that OF
an Englishman
The vitaizing power is the blood. a drop
OF which takes but twenty-five seconds 10
go the round or the body. There passes
through the heart once in every three min
utes an amount of this precious fluid equal
to ali that is contained IN the body,
The mileage of the blood circulation re-
veals some astonishing and undreamed of
truths. 1t IS estimated that. assuming the
average speed of the heart to be sixfy-nine
beats a minute. the blood travels POT yards
in sixty seconds; in other words. seven
miles an hour. 16s day. or $3.50 a year.
IL man Of 81 could have one single
blood corpuscle floating in his blood all his
life. IL would have traversed in that ne
Rod no less than 5,lE0, sos miles.
The average weight OF the brain OF an
adult male IS 3 pounds ounces. Of A fe-
male. 2 pounds ounces. The woman's
brain begins 10 decline I'm weight after the
age OF 30 the mans not till ten wears later.
According 10 high authorities the nerves.
with their branches and minute ramiaca-
lions connecting with the brain. exceed TO-
oo1 60 In number.
The palms OF the hands and soles or the
feet are composed Of cushions of fat in
order that sudden 1olts and violent blows
may be successfully resisted and no in
iury, done 10 the muscles and bones under
meath.
The muscles-of which the tongue n0nop-
oliZes cleveland bones Of the human
structure in combination are capable OF
more than ]. 200 different motions
The teaching OF experience indicates that
accidents are far more fkeIy 20 occur 20
the right leg and arm than 10 the left
Further evidence OF this fact is supplied
by the makers of artificial limbs: they dis
pose % MANY more appendices 10 the right

The cause of Whitman has won many
staunch friends throughout the East who
have raised large sum of money as an
endowment, and for constructing new
buildings, some Of which viii be completed

The citizens of Walla Waiia are a con-
tented and Industrious class. 1t has been
said that in proportion 20 the population
this is the wealth:est city on the Pacific
slope.
From an anthropological point OF view.
We must conclude that such conditions.
climatic, aesthetic. and dieie;ic. must pro-
duce a high and vigorous type of mental
and physical energy upon the part of the
younger generation and hence prognosii-
Gates n high type of civilization.
Walla Walla, with its attractions as
home place, and its natural environment.
has already become the intellectual and
social center of 81 rich and extensive re-
gion. region which, owing 10 the posi-
bilities Of its soil. the quality OF it's prod
ucts, and the ready market facilities, must
in the not distant future become denseiy
populated. capable of supporting a large
and t1ourisbing city.

The proposed abandonment by the
United States of the Monroe doc
triue, in urging the policy of colo
uial expansion, will open wide the
doors for the interference of for
eign powers in the revolution among
the South America republics. What
that portends to the United States
can well be surmised. Already the
revolution in Guatemala is stirring
up foreign residents to protest
against the acts of the insurgents
aud their sympathisers. It is but
the prelude to interference by their
governments, ostensibly to protect
their subjects. This country, in its
new policy, will likely awake to the
fact that it takes two to play at the
same game.-ShreYeport Times.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutlonal remedies Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition OF
the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

THE DOG EXHIBITION.
" Dotty,' the Jumping Dog Failed
to do the Work Assigned Her

Yesterday afternoon free show
was given at Spring Lake Park by
Prof. Miett
The crowd consisted principally
of children, though there were
enough adults to 90 round as
claimants to the tots that filed the
benches, the swings and almost
every other nook in the park.
At half past four o'clock the
professor showed up in cutaway
coat, and looked every inch a show
man.
He made a talk and said his dogs
could do fifty odd tricks, obeying
his commands without signs. AT
this point he introduced "Dotty
and Mig" aud then put them
through their tricks which were
quite interesting and caused the
children to split their sides in
laughter
After he was through with this
work, he announced that his dog
Dotty would jump from pole 90
feet high into a canvass below.
He hired a boy to climb the pole,
there being cleats nailed to it, for
that purpose, and the little fellow
had a time of it making the trip,
as he had only one hand to hold
onto the pole while he held the dog
with the other by a leather strop
fastened Just behind the forelegs.
The boy made the journey after so
long a time, and deposited the dog
in a small box fastened to the pole
for that purpose.
The professor got lot of young
men to hold the canvass at the foot
of the pole, and taking his stand a
few feet off gave the command for
Dotty to jump, but the dog was
out of reach of the trainers lash
and she would not make the leap.
The professor gave all kinds of
commands to the dog, he even
scolded, begged, pleaded and told
the dog goodbye dozen of times,
playing that he was going to leave,
still, Dotty would not make the
leap.
The boy went up again and
slapped the dog, but this had no
effect and after half an hour had
been spent thusly, the professor
being tired out told the boy to
bring the dog down @bich was
done.
We heard several remarks made
about the affair,
One young man with a "Cul-
peppean brow" said the reason the
dog didn't jump was because It
was Sunday. Another thin hpped
fellow yelled " fake" and still
another one with a Websterian
countenance said, the dog had
sense, and that he did not blame
her Tor not jumping.
The professor announced that it
was the first time the dog had
failed to make the jump and those
who had given him money for this
part of the show could come up
and get their money no one called
and we supposed the fellow who
yelled fake had not given a cop
per or he would have filed his appli-
cation for his money back.
The professor left today for
Kansas City, where he has an en-
gagement of a week at one of the
city parks, and we hope Dotty will
not go back on him again while he
is in the dog show business,

"It gives me much pleasure to write
and express my gratitude for the ben
eft received from DR.. Miles Heart

me. / was treated by a local physician
for heart trouble brought on by long
standing case Of Indigestion and an
over indulgence in smoking. My ply
sician pronounced my case intermit-
tent and heart weakness. My appe-
tite was below Dormal, my rest broken
by the intermittent and smothering
feeling, and l suffered from frequent
sharp pains around my heart. ] grad
ually grew worse under the physicians
treatment until | was unable to look
after my business. In the spring Of

Cure. When | had taken three BOTTLES
l felt greatly improved and could look

like a different man. continued the
remedy for some time until l was fully
restored to health and have always
recommended it to many Of my

Weakness Of the heart is frequently
caused by tobacco. 1t is not noticed

parent by occasional sharp pains, in.

especially from sudden emotion,
excitement or unusual exertIon.
