4 Winning Text.

When the Duke of Ormond whose
family name was Butler, was going to
take possession as lord lieutenant OF
Ireland, he was driven by storm on
to the Isle Of Man, where Rev. Mr..
Joseph, Il poor curate, entertained him
as Hospitality as his means permitted.
On his departure the duke promised to
provide for him as soon as he became
viceroy. The curate waited many
months in vain and at last went over
to Dublin to remind his grace Of his
promise. Despairing of gaining access
to the duke, he obtained permission to
preach at the cathedral. The lord lieu
tenant and his court were at the
church, but none Of them remembered
their humble host till he pronounced
his text, which, it must be acl1nowl-
edged, was well chosen, Yet did not
the chief butler remember Joseph, but
forgot him." The preacher was at once
invited to the castle and good living
provided for him.

The Work of the Heart.

One of the most remarkable thugs
about the heart is the amount of work
it does. Considering the organ as Il
pump whose task is to deliver Il known
quantity Of blood against n known
''head,'' it is easy to show that in TWEEN
ty-four hours Il mans heart does about
121 foot tons OF work. in other
words" says contemporary. 'if the
whole force expended by the heart in
twentyfour hours were gathered into
one huge stroke, such n power would
lift 12i tons one foot from the ground
A similar calculation has been made
respecting the amount of work cXpend-
ed by the muscles involved in breath
ing In twenty-four hours these mus
Giles do about twentyone foot tons OF

Observation OF several species Of in
