Where Blood Tells.

1t was in one of the farming districts
of New England. The young folks had
banded themselves together for month
ly Publications during the winter and
were about to celebrate the last dance
of the season as well as Il couple Of
engagements which had resulted from
the assemblies. Ben Hawkins, the To-
cal Paganini. and his Stradivarius had
been engaged to lead them through the
mazes of the country dance, and all
were looking forward TO the time Of
their life"
But death inconsiderately claimed
Mrs. Hawkins for his own on the after
noon of the eventful party. The young
people gathered as arranged, but be-
moaned the absence Of Old Ben, and
games were being substituted for the
dancing when, 10, Hawkins and his fid-
die appeared on the scene.
Great establishment and many ques-
tons greeted the old man. but he calm
ly slipped his fiddle out of its green
bag and as he m%editatively rubbed the
rosin on the bow said:
WAL, yes; Maria's gol.e; died this
afternoon. But l reckon faint no sin

After dinner speaking is an art, and,

A German biologist has been investi-
eating the question of the activity of
animal bodies after death and has pub
lished some suggestive conclusions. 1t
appears that death is not i%nstantane-
Il throughout the physical organism,
for it has been observed that many Of
the different tissues continue active for
Il considerable period after the time
when the animal is assumed to be dead,
particularly in the case of the lower an
imals. Cells from the brain Of a frog,
for example. have been kept alive for
over a week when held in certain solu-
tons. and the heart Of a frog has been
known to beat for many hours after be-
ing removed from the dead body. The
hearts of turtles and snakes will beat

Famous Moated Houses,

The mOat which so often surrounded
halls and castles in the old days is now
generally dry and filled up, but some
remarkable specimens still remain,
Perhaps the finest example of a moated
house is Helmingham Hall, the seat OF
Lord Tollemache, in Suffolk, about
eight miles from Ipswich. The draw
bridge still remains, and it has been
raised every night for more than 300
years, the ancient precaution being OBJ
served even though the need for it has
long passed by. The moat which sur
rounds Leeds castle. near Maidstone. is
so wide that it may almost be called Il
lake. The ancient Episcopal palace at
Wells is surrounded by walls which in.
close nearly seven acres of ground and
by Il moat which is supplied with wa.
ter from st. Andrews well. \ veneer
able bridge spans the moat, giving nc

THE ATHLETES A r
In the Rowing Man 1t Is strong and
Well Developed.


A prominent member of the faculty
of the University of Pennsylvania Med,
ical school has made Il study of the
heart action of athletes. He has eX.
amined a large number of men in ath-
letics. especially rowing men, and he
has come TO the conclusion that no nan
in perfect health who has been proper
ly trained is injured by rowing, but
that, on the contrary, his heart Is SO
strengthened that, with Il moderate
amount of exercise after he has finish
ed his rowing career, there is no rea-
son, so far as the heart and lungs are
concerned, that he should not live to Il
very old age,
1.-THE heart" said he. lis both n very
delicate and a very strong %organ-that
is, if it is well developed it will stand
IN enormous amount of strain without
any permanent injury, but If it is not
well developed it is very easily weak
ened. Violent exercise, like rowing,
places Il great deal of strain on the
heart because when the body is being
eXerted it requires so much more pres
sure TO force the blood through the
body. Like any other muscle that is
worked, the heart under the added la
Dor becomes larger, and most athletes
have extra large hearts, just rs they
also have larger muscles throughout
the body.
"lf the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly 1t dilates-it becomes larger.
but not more muscular-and that is the
danger in athletics. If a man exercises
in size gradually because the muscles
become larger, and this is a perfectly
normal condition. 1t simply means
that the athlete has u stronger heart
than the average and can cope with
the extra strain that is put upon it. A
man needs a larger heart TO row IL
race, and if gradual exercise has so
provided him with one then he can
safely undergo the most severe tests.
1T is the anne way with the lungs,
and they must he developed gradually
until they can undertake the extra
work. \ man with his heart and lungs
well developed is in no danger, no mat
ter how hard the race. He may com
pletely keel over ut the end of the race,
but it will likely be from sheer exhaus-
ton, and his heart is so strong that the
effect is not ut all injurious. He will
be rs good as eve in a few moments"
