MR.. DALZELL WORRIED.
Couldn't Find Hat and Coat When n
Looked for Them.

Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
one Of the congressional escort of the Presi-
dent, was in great stew after the assem-
bled bodies started from the Senate cham
Der for the outdoor platform. Mr.. Dalzen
couldn't find his coat and hat. He was due
to reach the stand along with the President
and the cabinet, and he searched high and
low for the polished silk tile and comfort
able wrap. but could not find them. Pages
went scurrying all around the cloak rooms
without avail
L0nnie Stewart offered him a rakish-look-
ing fedora" and raincoat, but Mr.. Dalzell
viewed the fedora with some dubiousness.
He remarked that he had to ride down the
avenue with the President, and he didn't
know how he would look in q fedora hat
about two sizes too big.
At this point Arthur Dunn came to the
rescue with the offer Of silk hat, which
Mr.. Dalzell gladly accepted. But Dunn's
head is a size or two larger than Mr.. Dali
Zells, and the boys had to chase around for
blotters and pad up the inside band. Then,
arrayed in Lonnie Stewards raincoat and
the silk hat Of Mr.. Dunn. Mr.. Dalzell sailed
forth. He found his own belongings on the
Presidents stand, where they had been
taken by page, who thought that they be-
longed to the President SO Dunn's hat was
returned and everybody was happy.

Artificial Heart Beats
From Public Opinion.


That the heart of cold-bIooded animal,
after the death of the animal. may be con-
tracted by electricity or other irr1tant. is a
fact which Is well known to the ordinary
person. But that it is possible to take the
human heart out of the body and keep 1t in
activity for hours is fact which has Just
been demonstrated by DR.. Deneke of Ham
burg. The case is fully reported in the
Hamburger Nachrichten
The experiment was performed by Drs
Deneke and Adam on woman who had
been executed by the guillotine In Ham
burg, the criminal being forty-eight years
of age and In good health. The head fell
into a closed sack, into which also passed
the greater portion of the blood from the
carotid arteries, and from this sack there
was obtained about one and one-half Iters
of blood, which was at once deprived of It's
fiber. At S:12 am. the body was taken
into a cell Of the prison. stripped, and the
thorax opened; there were still evident
weak contractions of the single portions of
the heart, the movements of the auricIes
being tolerably regular, while the contrac-
ton Of the left ventricle was hardly dis
tingufshabie. The heart was taken from
the body at S:15, and the coronary artery
was then washed thoroughly with a physio-
logical solution of salt water at 35 degrees
c., until the fluid coming from the heart
was colorless. The heart was now COM
pletely at rest-all movement had ceased.
Then the organ was washed with a Lock-
esche solution, which produced well CO.
ordinated contraction of the whole heart:
at 1882 in place of the Lockesche solution
there was passed into the heart the blood
freed from It's fiber. filtered and warmed.
Immediately there took place an unusually
powerful and regular contraction of all
portions of the heart.
After the regular beating of the heart had
continued for some time a little air balloon
was passed into one Of the pulmonary veins
In the left auricle, and then through the
mitral valves into the left ventricle. Two
hours after the execution the heart COM
menced to palpitate. apparently in conse-
quence of the rise in temperature and the
pressure used to force the blood through the
organ. The supply Of fluid was then shut
off. but after half hour again passed into
the heart, at which time the organ again
took up Its regular movement. The con-
fractions however, gradually became less,
and at 11:03 am. the movement ceased.
But 1t had been possible to keep an isolated
heart in movement for q period of three
hours after taking 1t from the body.

The Tea-Totaler.
From the London Lancet.

From the London Lancet.
While every one knows that II IS wrong
to stew tea, to draw from 1t as much Of
Its astringent principles as possible, yet
there are few who pay any practical re-
gard to the warning not to prepare tea in
this way. It cannot be too widely known
that not only is theme the most essential
constituent of tea, but also that 1t Is al
most as quickly soluble in hot water as is
sugar. The making of the infusion Is there
fore complete in a few minutes, and only
tea so prepared Is the blessed beverage"
The abuse of tea. like the abuse of any,
thing else, is, of course, reprehensible, and
the guilty person deserves all the unpleas-
ant symptoms which excessive tea-drnking
or the drinking of strong, stewed tea sooner
or later brings In its train. The use Of
plenty of milk with tea 1t may be added, Is
wise precaution and must be regarded as
a sound physiological proceeding, since the
proteids of milk destroy astringency and
probably prevent the otherwise injurious
action of tannin on the mucous membrane
of the stomach. In the intestinal juice the
proteids are separated and the tannin prob
ably combines with the sodium salts. The
immoderate drinking Of tea Is an unques-
tionable evil, but on the whole, we are in
clined to think that the evils of tea drinking
have been exaggera ted. The real difficulty Is
to convince people that lightly drawn In
fusion gives them their moneys worth.

Peaches in Cold Storage.
From the San Francisco Call.

From the San Francisco Call.
Peaches from various points In the state
are being shipped to Stockton and placed
in cold storage The National Ice Com
pany has found by experimenting that 1t
can freeze peaches and keep them three
months easily. Last year the experiment
was made successfully and this year the
company has engaged in storing fruit q
business. Already there are 5000 boxes Of
peaches on dee at the local plant. The
greater part OF them came from the warm
regions of Fresno. These peaches were
picked moderately green. BY freezing them
they are kept from ripening. Three months
from now they will be placed upon the
market. either In California or in the east.
Soon after the fruit Is taken on the ice
1t ripens nicely. By selecting late variety
of peaches 1t may be possible to preserve
them till Christmas. 80
