Carrying . Watch.

"After carrying a watch for thirty years I have just learned something oew in watch lore" said the city sales man. T don't know whether this Is true or not. but an old watchmaker solI i4le. bought Q watch of him the other day. It was cheap watch. He said:
 "'What pocket are you going to car Y your watch in--the right or leIf:
 "I told him the left.
 Then, said he, I will regulate II for the left
 T asked what difference it made, and he declared that watch runs faster on the left side than on tLe right, so to keep it from gaining time nc regulates it accordingly. In fine watches the difference is hardly worth considering. but in watches of chcap make like mine 1t is very noticeable, I asked for a scientific reason for this variation. He could give none; said Ee only knew it was true, and then. whether he was faking or Dot, he pre-. tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket "-New York Sun.

human Heart as . Power Ensines \
 A great physician once remarked that, despite Its complcxity, there was no organ of the body readier to adapt Itself to circumstances or more capa- ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This is very true, and an ap- preciation of that fact should cause us all the more carefully to follow the wise mans advice and to keep our heart with all diligence. When ws have regard t. the tremendous work the heart accomplishes we might well with Wesley say. Strange that harp of a thousand strings should keep in tune so long" Estimated in scientific fashion, mans heart in twenty four hours performs an amount of work
 which if represented by the energy de
 mandcd for big lift would rais" 12' tons of weight one foot high. such calculation can be accurately deter mined by measuring the force expend
 ed in one beat or cycle of movement of the heart and multiplying the short work into that of the day. Thus in no small degree does the hearts labor contribute 10 swell the big total of the energy the human engine e1pends each day il lives.-New York World.

Fruits fall to the earth because the earth attracts them. Bubbles in a cup of tea stand around the sides of the cup because the cup attracts them. The little bubbles gather about the large ones because the large bubbles attract the smaller ones Why do the bubbles follow teaspoon? Because the spoon attracts them. Why are the sides of pond covered with leaves while the middle is clear? Because the shore attracts the leaves to itself.
