Remarkable Self Sacrifice.

was gladly accepted, and for over fou
months that man and his wife gave

around among their friends and col

Harper's Weekly observes that there
is something about organization that
seems to be in conflict with morality.
Gather ten honest and reputable men
and form them into a gas company,
and the chances are hat within a
month they will try to buy the Com
mon Council; gather a hundred God
fearing people and form a church. and
in proportion to its vigor as an organi-
cation will be the need of careful re-
striction of its power: gather a multi
tude of people and form a nation aud
organize a government. and the richer
and bigger the nation grows. the more
its government will tend 10 a course
of conduct regulated by consideration
of the main chance. Government, even
when conducted by decent men for
well-intentioned people, seems t care
not much more for moralities than dy-
Mantle e for municipal ordinances.
Governments tend to do what the times
seem to prescribe. and let history make
their explanations. And yet nothing
much can be accomplished without or
g~anization and gas companies, churches
and governments, needful as it is to
watch them, / indispensable.

According t. the figures of the resig-

that last year there were 2l,330 mar
riages. 1O1,459 births and S7,606
deaths. There has been, in COMPARE
son with previous years, a slight de-
cline in both the birth n marriage
rates, while the death rate shows an
increase. which is, doubtless, partially
accounted for by the fact that the

scientists? The authorities have
reached the conclusion that the heart
at each beat of contraction discharges
about two ounces of blood. 1t is estl-
mated thai there are about nine pints
of blood in the normal frame, and spec
u%latively. for scientists cannot be GER
tain about it. the conclusion has been
reached that in the larger arteries the
velocity of the blood is about twelve
inches. or one foot in a second of time.
Now this will give us a basis to figure
~. and since the basis is speculative
the conclusion must be after the same
kind. Yet they will all be approx
mately correct.
IF the blood fiows in rbe larger ar

flowed 80 inches. which equal to sixty

would be about sixteen miles. 1855 feet

inches make one foot and $3.50 feet

is equal to about DOG. $50 miles. 3413

If a man should happen to live to

by the blood would be nearly a million

When a coyote goes off on a FORA ing
raid by himself. and is so lucky as to
catch an unsuspecting sheep or a calf
out for a moonlight stroll, he will first
suck the blood of his victim. and then.
dragging the carcass to a shady and
unfrequented retreat, will devour the
chotce morsels first. Before he has
finished his meal he will gorge
many pounds Of the most substantial
parts, until he resembles q sack of coal
on four Spindling legs. A coyote has
e known to eat his weight in meat
in q day and n night. Not a particle
of the coyotes feast is ever allowed to
90 to waste. for when he is stuffed he
will snatch hold of the of
the carcass by his mouth. and. throw
ing the flesh across his back. will start
for the family abode. where the rest
of h family may eat also. Hunters
tell of having found coyotes so gorged
and heavy with food that their dis
tended sides made it impossible for
them to enter their burrows and holes.
Jack rabbits are the principal food of
coyotes, and both animals are provided
with muscles of locomotion that are
marvellous. There are few things in
nature as swift as a coyote following a
California jack rabbit across a plain.
A fleeing jack rabbit can easily make
