THE HUMAN HEART.

THE HUMAN HEART
One of the most powerful motors in the
world of dynamics, considering its size,
weight and material, is the human heart
This piece of living mechanism weighs
on the average, about eleven ounces and
is composed Of q single muscle, hollow
and pear-shaped, about the size of the
fist. 1t performs marvellous amount of
work by the simple contraction and ex-
pansion of the muscle.
There is not minutes cessation in its
labors by night or day, whether the man
is asleep or awake. At each throb of
this little engine it forces about six
ounces of blood through the conduits of
the body. and there are about 100 900
heart pulsations every twenty-four hours,
S6,5G0,00O per year, and over 1850 000, 900
in a lifetime of seventy years.
1t has been estimated by competent
scientists that the mechanical force ex-
erted at each stroke of the heart is equal
to a pressure of thirteen pounds upon the
entire mass of blood that is being press
ed onward through the intricate network
of the arterial- system. In another form
of mechanical statement this is an ex-
ertion Of force capable of lifting 12O tons
one foot high every twenty-four hours,
and this tremendous effort is put forth

AN AGE OF VARIETY.

This is the age of variety and all man
ner of funny things. The seedsmen are
cataloging 685 real or nominal varieties
of cabbage, 320 of table beets, $40 of
sweet corn, $50 of bush beans, 255 of pole
beans, 800 of cucumber, $50 of lettuce, and
an equally large number of varieties Of
other vegetables. Such long list would
be sufficiently confusing, especially TO
gardeners and farmers, even if they all
represented distinct varieties. AS mat
ter of fact, however, many of them stand
only for improved stocks of an. old varie-
ty or even merely for the particular
seedsman's stock of a known variety
which is neither better nor worse than
other stocks. AT the same time the
current method of forming new names
by attaching a seedsman's name or de-
scriptive term to an old one leaves it
frequently impossible to say whether the
variety is really new or only an improved
stock, or without any characteristic of
novelty whatever.

rust proof golden wax, Grenelrs golden

Let nothing sadden or disheartea thee:
but in the midst of things that are for
ever passing away live in worlds which
can never pass away.
There is an inward light which CLEANS
for all, not constantly, but at intervals.
and Which, if we are attentive, reveals
the presence of higher worlds in the
soul.
We worry because we do so little,
whereas the real trouble is that what we
do is i'll done. OF work done as we'll as
man can do it, a little is sufficient to
make life useful and noble.
Individuality is the browning glory Of
the world, and yet nature cares not at all
for the individual. She is powerless, new
ertheless to shake the faith of the wise
In the supreme worth of character.
Whatsoever shall befall the just man.
it shall not make him sad" No, for
righteousness is itself life joy and pea ca.
and when we do well. all is well, even
though we be made to bear the sense of
pain and loss
The multitude can. always be beguiled
by whoever offers means of relief with ;.
out the need of self-denial, self-controf
and labor. The wise therefore hesitate
TO e%nort them to the passive virtues OF
patience and hope.
When we can no longer look forward to
some hoped for good life becomes wear
mess. We must advance or straightws,y
we begin to die. Whatever man fixes
ms heart upon must increase or it will
cease to please.
