The work of the heart is the circu-
latlon of the life giving blood through
out the body. With each stroke or
beat of the heart II projects something
like six ounces of bloSA into the bod
lily conduits, throwing II FOR n distance
of nine feet. That 1t does sixty-nlne
times minute, 4,140 times each hour,
D0,3G0 times In n day, 36,266, 400 times

lifetime OF seventy years. The blood
Is propelled by the heart nine feet each
beat, 207 yards each minute, seven
miles an hour, 100 miles I'm day, 1877
miles In year and 1880, 100 miles In
the seventy years.
The total force exertcd by the heart
every twenty-four hours has been cal
culated 10 be equal to l2i foot tons
that IL, If the whole force expended
by the heart In twenty-four hours were
gathered into one huge stroke such IA
power would lift 12I tons one foot off
the ground. This being the daily
force, that exertcd In II year would be
equal TO 1920 foot tons and that in n
lifetime of seventy years 3.1T0.303.
Such IL the enormous amount Of work
performed by the human heart. which
only weighs eleven ounces and Is about
the size OF the closed fist.

Encourage the Happiness Habit.

The art of laughter should surely be
cultivated--in fact, all and everything
that leads to JOY. The wish to be
happy, the love Of gladness and beau
ty, is, am sure, thing to be desired.
Consequently 1t is worth little culti-
walton. Play is as essential factor
In mems lives as work. Philosophers
tell us that no man lives his own life
until he plays. Work comes from the
exigencies OF life, from the "musts" OF
this world, which often push n man
along very different paths from those

leisure time comes out his whole soul.

Injunction, stay at home and ask their
husbands IL they want to know any

Quick .luaticn nj Agent.

Not only the horses, but the powers
of the law, says the London Chronicle,
are swift at Ascot, for the course has
n special tribunal for the punishment
of evildoers. No sooner Is the pick
pocket welsher or ticket snatcher ar
rested than he is standing in little
room in the royal stand, where the
evidence Is heard and the verdict and
sentence pronounced before the offend
or fully realizes that he Is caught. No
where else does punishment so swiftly
follow crime as ut this court, which Is
decreed by clause 81 of the indictable
offenses net of 1913.
This race course tribunal arose Gu
riously In the eighteenth century from
an assault upon n royal parsonage. In
his Indignation at the impossibility of
instant punishment Of the assailant he
ordered that In future n magistrate
should always attend the royal race
meeting. This has ever since been
done, and by the above mentioned act
the chief magistrate of Bow street was
constituted ex otlicio justice of the
peace of the county of Berks In order
to enable him TO hold this court Mt

"Will you charge the jury, your

THE HUMAN STOMACH.
How IL IL Overworiscd by Three Mig
Daily Meals.

It requires about FIVE hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass it out of itself, when It falls
into a state of repose hence IL man
eats three times day his stomach
must work fifteen hours out of twenty
four. After q nights sleep we wake
up with n certain amount of bodily Wig
or which is faithfully portIoncd out TO
every muscle of the system and every
set of muscles. cuch It's rlghtful share,
the stomach among others
When the external body gets weary
after long days work. the stomach
bears its share OF the fatigue, but IL
when the body is weary with the days
toll we put It to bed. giving the stom-
ach meanwhile Il five hours task which
must be performed, we impose upon
the very best friend we have-the one
that gives us one of the largest
amounts of earthly enjoymcnt-and IL
this overtaxing is continued IL must as
certainly wear out prematurely as the
body itself will If 1t il ovcrworked ev-
cry day.
And IL persons eat between meals
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast In the morning until 1, 2, 3
or 4 o'clock next day; hence 1t is that
so many persons have dyspepsia. The
stomach is worked so much and so con-
stantly that 1t becomes too weak to
work at all.

A Costly nlble.

The most costly book in the Royal
library at Stockholm is Bible. 1t Is
no wonder that 1t is considered pre-
cious, for there is not another like 1t

it is unique. 1t is said that 160 asses
skins were used for its parchment
leaves. There are 300 pages Of writ
ing, and each page falls but an inch
short of being yard in length. The
width of the leaves is twenty inches.

The city snd the Cenetcrfes Arc
UopeIessIy Intermtnu1cd.

The city of Annoy Is on an islaiu OF
the same name. For upward OF l."o
years Il has been an important trading
place. The population of the isinhu
ia estimated Mt over 100000, and IL has
been said that there are something ike
bOOO. 900 dead bodies packed In its soil.
For many centuries the hiiisidcs OF the
CITY have been used as burying
ground. Now the city and the Gene
terry are hopelessly mixed. The graves
touch one another at'wery point anu
form n solid white surface of rock
brick. porcelain and cement, covering
moro than 100000 square feet. Near
one OF the josshouses 10000 bodies are
buried vertically to save space They
stand on a plot of ground of as many
feet squire.
The wells from which the city draws
It's water supply are shallow and are
sunk on the edge of graveyards ana
even among the tombs themselves.
The water Is muddy and Is colored by
the perpetual turning up of the soil.
II has no sewers, and the streets vary
from two feet to six feet In width.
No wheeled vehicle can use them.
Here and there is an open place or
plaza, dug out SO as TO be n huge re-
ceptacle into which the streets dis
charge their refuse. Filth abounds,
and its twin sister, disease, flourishes
The atmosphere is laden with noXious
smells, and the burial of the dead goes
on at an alarming rate.

Wet Clothing md Lightning.

II the clothing is wet, lightning may
pass over it as good conductor with
out harming the body. On the other
hand, persons may be killed without
harm being done to the clothing. In
rare instances bodies have been
stripped naked by lightning. The COW
erings Of the feet are liable to be Sc
riously injured. because it is here that
the lightning meets the greatest re-
sistance in leaving the body.
