THE HEART MUSCLES.
How They Do Their Work and Why
They Never Tire.


1t is generally supposed that the
heart is an organ which never takes
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 beat
ing of the heart the auricles first con-
tract and force the blood into the ven
tricles; they then relax while the ven
tricles repeat the process. Then fol-
lows a pause, during which the heart
is perfectly at rest.
II contraction of the auricles takes
one-fifth 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 rest
ing two-tifths of its time. Sleep also
aids in relieving the muscles of the
heart, as it considerably diminishes
the rapidity of its action.
This alienation of rest and activ,ty
endows the heart muscles with their
capacity for untiring work.

Getting Rich SLOWLY.

Ordinarily great fortune is built up
like stone wall--a stone at time.
The young man who declines to lay
the first stone because it comes so far
short of wall will never make prog
ress in financial masonry. An i'm
mense proportion of the people of this
country live up to their incomes, lay
ing aside nothing for the traditional
rainy day. Because they cannot save
$1,000 in a bunch they save nothing.
The greatest financial kings of the
world have not been above taking care
of the pennies even. The great finan-
cial institutions look after even the
fractions of pennies Troy Press.

The bird law in Delaware has this
provision Nor shall this act prohibit
any person from killing any bird on
his own premises when in the act Of
destroying his grain, fruit, berries or
poultry Such birds so killed shall not
be offered for sale" This is good law
and good sense, and the principle
should not only be recognized in law
practice everywhere, but specifically
embodied in the game or bird laws of

Insanity in the human subject is sup
posed by some to have no analogue in
the lower animals. Yet many cases,
according to Or. Sneilson, will lead to
the permanent loss OF self control.
Cattle driven from the country through
a crowded town will often work
themselves into a frenzy. Horses
have gone mad on the battlefield. At
Balaklava an Arabian horse turned or
its attendant, threw him down and,
knceling on him. attacked him like an
Infatuated dog. An instance is related
of a docile horse suddenly going mad
on hot day. Everything that came
in its way it seized in its teeth and
shook as terrier does rat. A scien-
fist Of authority even goes so far as TO
prove by what appears to be incontest-
able evidence that cats, dogs and
monkeys have been observed to have
decisions very similar to those of In.

A Bird That Is Feared.

The elster dica candataJ is a bird
that is respected AMI feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to the
raven tribe and Is ABOUT the size of
dove, with black ami white feathers
and long, pointed tail. 1t builds its
nest in orchards, and its life is sacred.
If it is seen three times in succession
on the same house top in a place re-
mote from its home Il is believed to be
a sure sign of death in that house. II
1t flies and gives it's peculiar cry the
sick person is sure 10 die, but If it
does not scream the patient may re-
cover. 1t is better FOR the sick per
son if the bird does not come near.
No one could be hired to bother these
birds for fear they might seek revenge,
and if by chance one of them should
die it is a sign Of bad luck to the owner
Of the property where it is found.
The bird is a valuable insect destroyer
and in this way probably more than
compensates for the fear it occasions
Among the farmers.

APPLE BARRELS.

The outlook is that orchardists wiz
have to pay practically record breaking
prices for apple barrels this season. A
calamity which should cut down the
crop greatly may of course change the
situation entirely, but with a fairly
large yield it is hard to believe that
there will be a drop in barrel prices.
Orange Judd Farmer has interviewed
leading commission men and growers
throughout the principal apple districts
of the United States in regard to the
situation and finds that prices for bar
rels are starting on plane that aver

values are not quite so sensational as
they were at the height of the season

barrels are quoted f. o. b. Chicago at
30 to IS cents each In Dubuque, Ia.
they are bringing 26 to 80 cents about
the same as last year. Northern Mich
igan prices are slightly under the Chi
cago range.
Further east prices for apple barrels
are right at the top notch. Philadel-
phia quotes them at So cents f. o. b.,
which is about cents higher than last
summer. In central New York the
season starts with prices So to 81 cents.
Virginia growers are giving 80 cents
or slightly above for barrels, and in
New Hampshire they are quoted at %
gents, which is practically a record
breaking point for the opening of the
season.
Apple dealers in the west claim that
manufacturers of slaves and heads are
working so closely in unison that they
practically form a trust. Prices are
fixed so that it seems improbable that
there will be any decline.
