The speed at which the blood circu-

healthy man In something surprising.
All day long. year In and year out.
the round trips continue from the
heart to the extremlties and back
again. The red blood corpuscles travel
like boats In a stream, going to this
or that station for such service n they
have to perform. and the white cor
puscles. the phagocytes. dart hither
and thither like patrol boats. ready to
arrest any contraband cargo Of disease
germs. The mileage Of the blood cir
culation reveals some astounding facts
In our personal history. Thus II has
been calculated that. assuming the
heart TO beat sixty-nine times min
ute at ordinary heart pressure. the
blood goes at the rate Of 207 yards In
the minute. or seven miles per hour,
l6s miles per day and G.32o miles per
year. II n man OF eishty-four years
Of age could have one single blood
corpuscle floating In bis blood al his
life II would have travelled In that
same time 5.150.s06 miles.-Exchangc.

The Owl In History.

The owl was IN former times gen
orally regarded as an omen OF mis-
fortune or death. but as the Egyptians
represented Minerva under the for..
OF an owl the AthenIans. who wen
under the care OF this goddess. looked
upon the appearance Of the owl as a
favorable omen. II therefore formed
upon the ancient coins referred TO the

esteem The ilrst named used 10 wear
owls feathers In their caps. and some
Tartar tribes still worship idols made

There is such a thing a. carrying
the discount business too far. rs the
smart advertising agent Of a new pub
Iication discovered.
"As understand" said the mer-
chant. ''your rate Is $50 a page for
single insertion and you deduct ! per
cent from this rate for each additional
lnsertiony'
THAT Is correct" replied the agent.
The total rate decreases by per
cent for each insertion contracted for
after the first" he went on to explain.
III you agree to take It ten times
there win be nine Insertions after the
tirst and you VIII get per cent Off
the rate. In other words. you will
only have to pay $3.50 each time"
The idea commends itself to me-"
said the merchant thoughtfully, ''and
II you viii stick to that plan will be
glad to make a contract with you to
use full page for loi consecutive e
sues"
The agent was jubilant until he
thought II over. Then he wasn't This
