SOME Of the papers are stating that
the work is now being done on the
grounds at Terra Alta preparatory to
the state guard going there to camp
this summer. but this is probably a
mistake. Nothing of the kind has
been definitely decided upon and no
orders have been issued in regard to
the camping place. 1t will probably
be at either Terra Alta or Martins

would be preferred by the local boys.

ABNoRMALLY LARGE HEART.
Man Who Dropped Dead in New York
II Found to Have Been
Strangely Afflicted.

The heart that DR.. Hamilton Will
liams, coroner's physician, found in
the body of a man at the morgue at
New York the other day may prove to
be the largest on record in America.
It weighed 36 ounces, which is about
four times the weight of the normal
mans heart. The mammoth heart
proved the death of its owner, who
is as yet unidentified. The man
was walking on West 'Twenty-fifth
street, when suddenly he was seen to
drop to the sidewalk. He was dead
before medical aid arrived. Superb
'cial examination caused the ambulance
surgeon to think that the man had been
choked to death. There was piece Of
tobacco in his throat which might have
strangled him. But DIR. Williams
brought to light the giant heart, which
was the cause of his death.

A WONDERFUL MACHINE.
The Human Body In the Most Intricate
and Powerful Piece of
Mechanism on Earth.

The human body is the most econom-
zeal machine in the world. It takes in
about 1-3 pounds of food day in the
shape of water, oxygen and solids.
This food gives man his power of
doing work. 1t gives the strength for
bodily, muscular and mental work.
The heart does 1870 foot tons Of work
in "a hours. If the full work of the
heart for that period could be gathered
into one big lift it would raise 120 tons
weight one foot high. The muscles of
breathing do Fl foot tons work per
day.
The work of the whole body in all
its actions for "a hours amounts to
about 3,4O0 foot tons.
This enormous working power is
developed from food in "a hours. Over
5000 foot to1s go to produce heat,
which is a mode of motion and is nee
essary for every vital process. The
remainder represents a mans actual
muscular and mental work.
It must be remembered that 5000
foot tons about represent the force
which would raise a man of average
weight eight and one-half miles high.
Man has never succeeded in making
any engine that could compare with
the engineers own body in develop
ing relatively large amount of en-
ergy on a very small consumption of
fuel or food.-N. Y. World.

tables a. Medicine,

DR.. Wilton Norris, the well-known
English physician, says: 'The value of
green food as preservation of health
cannot be overestimated. Nature pro-
duces her own remedies and many vcge-
tables are actually medicinal.
Lettuce salad is cure for insomnia.
Lemon juice can be used in place of
vinegar by dyspeptics. French physi-
clans call spinach the boon of the
stomach They prescribe it for people
with indigestion, and declare that a
dish of spinach is equal to a liver pill.
Spring onions, sliced and stewed in
cream, are also good for indigestion.
Onions always form part of the ra-
tions of ships bound for the arctic re-
gions, as they are a well-known prevent
i've of scurvy.
'Dandelion salad is an excellent diu-
retic. Turnip tops stewed will purify
and strengthen the blood! Celery is a
good nervine. Baked apples andstewed
prunes must be numbered among the
pleasant medicines. If in the spring
and summer one green vegetable is on
the dinner table each day for the
stomach's sake, the services of the fam
lily physician are not apt to be needed"

A GREAT NURSE.
Used to Kiss Her Shadow
ON the Wall.

Quietly, and without public demon
stration thrust upon her, a sweet old
lady who, after Quen Victoria, is per-
haps the best loved woman in the Brit
ish isles, recently celebrated her eight
ieth birthday, says Youths Compan-
ion.
Florence Nightingale-she of the
lovely name and lovelier life-has sur
vived now for nearly half century
the achievements which made her
name a household word. Ever since
the Crimean war, when the wounded
in the hospitals used to kiss her shadow
on the wall as she passed, she has
been at once paying the penalty of
her labors and reaping the reward of
them.
They left her an invalid for life. But
from her couch she has directed the
progress of the institution for the
training of nurses founded by the fund
raised for her by public subscription.
The women of England started it, and
every soldier in the army contributed
days pay; for Tommy Atkins knows
his friends. And besides this special
interest, she, the founder of our sys-
TEN of modern army nursing, has had
the Joy of watching her work prosper,
expand, and attain worldwide influ-
ence.
The ungrudging acceptance of the
services of women nurses in the civil
war and our recent Spanish war was
chiefly due to the prejudices overcome,
the results attained, the admiration,
extorted by this gentle, resolute and
gifted English, woman, who had shown
the way.
So, too, the whole Red Cross system
was natural outgrowth of her work.
It is in no sense lessening the praise
due to those more Immediately con-
cerned to say this; it is merely assert
ing that Clara Barton and her band of
nurses, Lady Randolph Churchill and
hers, are natural successors to Flor
ence Nightingale, carrying forward
the work begun by her to an extent
and with resources unknown in her
day. How many more lives could the
great lady in chief have saved in the
Crimea had she but had those novel
modern mercies, the hospital train and
the hospital ship. at her disposal!
