The Heart Muscles.

1t is generally supposed that the
heart is an organ which never takes a
rest But this is not so. The muscles
of the heart are not necessarily work
ing. The heart contains four cham
bers-two upper, called the auricles,
and two lower, the ventricles. In the
beating of the heart the auricles first
contract and force the blood into the
yentricles; they then relax while the
ventrieles repeat the process. Then
follows a pause, during which the
heart Is perfectly at rest.
The contraction of the auricles takes
one-tifth of the time between one beat
and the next the contraction of the
ventricleS two-fifths and the pause
two-fifths. so that the heart is really
resting twO-fifths of its time Sleep
also aids in relieving the muscles of
the heart, as it considerably diminish
es the rapidity of its action.
This alienation of rest and activity
endows the heart muscles with their
capacity for untiring work.

In some of the older and narrower
streets and alleys of London may be

the poorer parts of London are so
narrow that a large vehicle would do

Hobbies Good for Health.

The best thing in the world for nerves
is sleep, the next proper food, the third
proper dress. But as good as any one
of these is a hobby.
How often does one hear the express
sion, ooh, that is So-and-So's hobby"
spoken rather disparagingly. 1t is the
tendency of the average mind to regard
q person who has a pronounced enthu-
siasm as a species of harmless lunatic,
rather to be pitied. The truth of the
matter is that any one who has any espe
cial fad is greatly to be envied, as it
probably provides more interest and
amusement for its possessor than any
thing else. ANY decided interest in life
whether it is dignifed by the name OF
an occupation or is simply an enthus-
asm, or even mentioned slightingly as
fad, is eminently desirable.

circumstances to crafty his tastes re-

a bent in that direction should always he

humanity that we will work diligently TO

bears the engraved name of "B. Harri-

raisson by the side of an Indian toma-
hawk. Near the site of the bridge was
Fort Harrison, built by Gen. Harrison
when he was moving up the Wabash
river in his campaign against Tecumseh

for year and was succeeded by Mai.
