Blood Travels Fast.

The speed at which the blood circu- lates in the veins and arteries of a healthy man is something surprising. All day long, year in and year out, tie round trips continue from the heart to the extremities and back again. The red blood eOrpuscles travel like boats in a stream, going to this or that station for such service as 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 milenge of the blood cir culation reveals some astounding facts in our personal history. Thus it 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 POT yards in the minute, or seven miles per hour, 168 miles per day and 6,320 miles per year. If a man of eighty-four years of age could have one single blood corpuscle floating in his blood all his life it would have travelled in that same time 5, 150, sos miles.-Exchange.

Afshan Frontier Tribes.

There is an interesting little story in Dr. T. l.. Pencils book Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan From tier" which illustrates the attitude of the frontier tribes to their great neigh bors. A political officer was talking with the headmen of some independ- ent tribes, and he asked them what part their people would take in the event of war between Russia and England.
 Do you wish us to tell you what would please you or to tell you the real truth?" was their naive reply.
 'I adiure you only to tell me what is the white word'" (meaning the true statemenD.

 As i opened the door I saw a man with a burglars mask kneeling before the safe.
 The next moment he had turned and showed revolver into my face. Throw up your hands" he said. I did so.
 "You understand" he remarked pleasantly, that can, in the present circumstances, loot the premises at my pleasure!'
 I confessed that he could.
 "You realize that you are at my mercy?" he asked.
 "I do,'' replied.
 "You acknowledge that can blow out your brains if I like?" he per sisted.
 Certainly" I admitted.

The Farm aCopoer."

While many police officials believe that the term copper" as applied to policemen had it's origin in the use of the copper badges that were formerly worn, an authority states that the word may be traced back to the Nor mans in the twelfth century and that it is a corruption of catch" The Normans not only applied it to the catchers of criminals, but to the i'm plements used in catching or holding them. There were hand cops," or handcuffs, in the twelfth century, and the Anglo-Saxons used foot cops. In the "Yocabulum, or the Rogues' Lexicon" written by George W. Ma teel in 1859, copped is thus defined:
 Copped-Arrested. The knuck was copper to rights, skin full of honey was found in his kicks poke by the copper when he plucked him. The pickpocket was arrested, and when searched by the officer purse full of money was found in his pants pocket
 This is the derivation of copper There is an implied compliment in the sobriquet.-London Saturday Review.

One Comfort.

Dick was a very clean little boy, and dirt disgusted him. One day he found poor little starved kitten crouchine in ditch at the roadside, and he carried the wet, muddy little watf home with him. He took it to the hydrant and carefully rinsed off all in. aud. but the shock was too great for the sick kitty, and the breath oi life departed. Dick went with her to his mother. who exclaimed at the sight of the wet, dropping kitten, "Why, Dick, what have you done"
 ''She was all mud, and I washed her." Dick replied
 "Oh, Dick" his mother said sorrow fully, "I'm afraid she's dead"
 Dick looked shocked and grteyed for a moment; then his face lighted ur with gleam of comfort as he ex- e.asned. "Well, she died c-tan, any way."3Delineator.

 "You-you are Sidney Cremerw Loveiand could only stammer the words stupidly.
 'Yes. Are you so surprised that I'm clever enough to make success with my brain and my pen? often won- dered when you'd begin to suspect. but you never did. And was won- dering, too, whether Sidney Cremer would have to propose to you in the end. It's been great fun keeping my secret from the world, never letting any one know the real truth except auntie and the Ashville cousins, though Fanny Milton and lots of other ac- Quaintances thought was friend of Sidney Cremer-perhaps even a poor relation of his. But the most fun of all has been keeping the secret from you till the time was ripe to tell. Do you remember saying the other day, Sidney Cremer is everything?' told you I'd remind you of that some time and ask if you could say it again. Can you now"
 Sidney Cremer is, everything" re peated Loveland. whereupon Lesley gave one of her little soft, cooing signs and let him take her into his arms.
 Quite possibly a boggy field with no shelter save a motorcar lying rakishly on one side was queer place for an engagement between young English marquis and a celebrated American novelist-p.aywright. But for Lesley and Loveland 1t was perfect. Sidney Cremer's vivid fancy had never ere ated more enchanting scene for the lovemaking of hero and heroine. And. though, if there had been an audience. 1t would have seer the stage lit up only with pale rays of wintry sun shine, for the girl and the man it was illumined with ineffable light from the other side of the moon.

Tho Tjoar's Skin.

Whether its color helps the tiger in its furtive life or not, it is a royal liy- cry that it wears. The ''spoil of lions," but for their names, have rot much majesty. A cowhide may be hand somer. But throne can ask no more sumptuous trapping than a tigers skin, and if jury were to be impan- eled to select the noblest looking ami nal now in the geological gardens the verdict would almost infallibly be unanimous in favor of the Siberian tiger. It is difficult to imagine any thing more beautiful, more full of dignity and of the simple grace of strength than one of these gorgeous, deep furred brutes.-London Times.

How a Submarine Dives.

All submarine vessels are brought to a condition of readiness to submerge by taking in water ballast in suitably arranged and controlled tanks. This causes more of the boat to sink below
 the waters surface and finally leaves her with only small part of her con ming tower out of water The remain ing part above water represents what is called reserve buoyancy." This buoyancy varies generally from POO to 1000 pounds, depending upon the size of the craft, and it is to overcome the permanent tendency to rise represent ed bx this reserve, that pressure is

persevercs in his intention of invading
the United States with a $25,O00,0OO

Mr.. Stoll owns a chain of music halls
