ILnrt That the Heart Does.

The work of the heart is the circu-
lation Of the lite-giving blood through
out the body. With each stroke or
beat of the heart it projects something
like six ounces Of blood into the bodily
corduits. throwing it for distance of
nine feet. This it does 60 times each
minute. 4,140 times each hour, 99.36o
times in a day. 3G2GG.i00 times in 4
year, and 2,540.333311, 10 times liz life
time of seventy years including leap
years. The blood is propelled bE the
heart nine feet each heat, 20l yards
each minute. seven miles in an hour,
100 miles in a day. 61.S1I miles IN
a year and 4.3330 .OG3 miles in the ~
years. The total force cNerted by tho
heart every ~ hours has been caic1-
lated to be equal to 124 foot tons-that
is, if the whole force expended by the
heart in a hours were gathered into
one huge stroke, such power Would
lift 124 tons one foot off the ground.

AT school exhlDliirn in Orange,
\. j., the children were allowed to
enter into a public discussion as to
whether Adam or Eve was the bigger
sinner. Ism this rather unbecOm-
ing sort Of intellectual skylarking? TO
millions Of people the old story Of Adam
and Eve, if not revealed truth, is a
serious allegorical and ethical story,
touching the destiny of man and Of
grave import, and should not be used
in frivolous manner.

An interesting point has been raised
in Columbia. A negro woman was in
dicted for stealing a ring from Mrs.
Philip Epstin. Mr.. P. H. Nelson
raised the point that the indictment
was defective in that the charge should
have been that the ring was stolen from
Mrs. Charlotte Epstin and not from
Mrs. Philip Epstin. Judge Watts sus-
tanned the objection and the negro wo-
man rejoices that there is, after all,
something in name. It was stated
that the point was entirely new, and
that there is no record of the question
having been raised, but that in law a
woman goes by her given name and not
that of her husband. Both might be
used for Identification, SO to speak.

That Scrantons tobacco industries
are somewhat of a factor in that par
ticular corner of the commercial world
Is evidenced by the fact that their con-
troll is being sought for by the big to-
bacco trust.
The Continental Tobacco company,
the title of the new tobacco syndicate,
has representatives here now negotiat-
ing for the purchase of all three Of the
local tobacco factories, Clark &c Sno-
ver's. Clark g. Scott's and Leonards.
j. Il. Russell & Co., the Washington
avenue brokers, are said to be these
representatives.
James II. Scott, of the firm of Clark
& Scott, when approached upon the
subject admitted the report was true.
His company had been offered a very
tempting figure for its plant and good
will, and he was reliably informed that
the other two companies had also been
approached From Mr. Scotts CONVEX
sation it was to be gathered that the
Scranton companies were not likely to
accept the offers.
The Continental Tobacco company is
one of the most gigantic of all the
| trusts, being capitalized for $4,000, 600
1t has absorbed the original trust. the
American Tobacco company, and is
reaching out to secure absolute control
of every tobacco factory of any inn
| portance in the country.

cause II is his homes and Is dear to
him from associations, but for the FUR
thcr reason that he has large interests
there and he knows these interests will
be more valuable If wise public inn
provements are systematically carried
forward
Since the inception of the movement
to lay pave on North Main avenue
and Providence road it has had no
warmer or moro earnest champion than
the major, and whenever it was in
peril in council, Major Fish was always
member of the committee of promi-
nent North End men who came down
to see that justice was done their pet
measure. When the anti-pave agita-
tion was at its height he took a promi
nent part in promoting the meetings
held in Company II armory to combat
the opposition. Through all the trials
and trbulations of the movement he
was confident they would ultimately
triumph and that the much longed for
pave would be laid. Now that the
pave is practically an assured fact his
satisfaction may well be imagined.
The retirement of Frank Thompson
from the liquor business has set afloat
any number of stories about him dur
ing the early days of his business life
in Scranton, when he was practically
the only wholesale liquor dealer in this
end of what was then Luzerne county.
1t is about thirty years ago since Mr..
Thompson came to this city from
Philadelphia and engaged in the liquor
business. He was bright, engaging and
| companionable and soon became one
of the best known young men of the
city. His business grew rapidly and
| for many years il reached large pro-
| portions.
His office became the meeting place
| of some of the best known Democrats
in the early days of Lackawanna COun-
| ty and the informal talks there had a
| great influence on the policy of the
| party in local affairs. Gradually Sir.
| Thompson Withdrew from any active
| participation in politics, as did the men
with whom he associated. and the con-
| ferences that had made his office at No.
| Is LaCkawanna famous came to an end.
OF recent years Mr.. Thompson has
not been as active in business as he
was during his early life in Scranton
! and finally he decided to retire alto.
| gether though he intends to Ocontinue his
residence in this city. For many years
| MIR. Thompson had the unique dis
! tinction of being the only liquor dealer
who did not keep his place of business
| open after o'clock in the evening.
