Muscles May Move Themselves.

Albert Won Halter, Swiss surgeon
Of the eighteenth century, was the first
to point out that the muscles of our
bodies have an automatic action. Be-
fore Haller's time it was believed that
the muscles could not contract or swell
up Of themselves, but were drawn up
BY the nerves Of volition. Halter dis
covered that this is not SO, but that a
muscle, If irritated. will draw itself to.
gether automatically, even when 1t is
quite separated from the nerves. and
this has since been proved to be true
by a great number of experiments.
So that though it Is true our nerves
are the cause OF our moving, because
they excite the muscles and so cause
them to contract; yet the real power Of
contraction Is in the muscle itself.
The body Of man Is full of wonders.
not the least Of which is this automat-
&c power Of contraction in all muscles.

Good for Sickroom.

A sandbag is one Of the most ser.
viceable articles to use in the sick
room. Get some clean. fine sand. dry
it thoroughly in a kettle On the stove.
make bag about eight inches square
Of flannel, I'LL 1t with the dry sand,
sew the opening carefully together
and cover the bag with cotton or linen
cloth. This will prevent the sand
from sitting out. and will also enable
you to heat the bag quickly by placing
1t in the oven, or even on the top Of
the stove. After once using this you
will never again attempt to warm the
feet or hands Of sick person with a
bottle of hot water or a brick. The
sand holds the heat long time and
the bag can be tucked up to the back
without hurting the invalid. 1t is a
good plan to make two or three OF the
bags and keep them ready for use.

The total length of road in the

"Then, your majesty" she said to
him mockingly, Il have only to ask
you that you guarantee me safe exit
from the palace"
His face flushed at this first trace Of
ridicule to be heaped upon his preten-
sions to royalty, but his voice was
grave and even enough as he strove to
establish dignity. "You have my word
for that" said he.
"Then," she cried as she sprang
back from his desk toward the door

She swept out through the entrance
and down between the ranks of those
bronzed mountaineer soldiers. March
ing with martial tread, she sang the
song of blood clear through their
ranks. The news OF its singing flashed
along wires and across pulsating, cleo
triied spaces. In every city in the
United States that mighty, rousins
song was caught up, and the land VI

near him in an effort to save his life.
Frederick Stoker. brakeman on
the train, saw the boy about the same
time and shouted to the engine driver
that he would try to save the lad If
the train could overtake him. Stoker
got down on the steps and grasped the
hsndrail and the race began.
Ordinarily there is a current III the
Susquehanna river SO swift that it has
cost the lives Of many. But since the
torrential rains Of the last few days
the river has overfown its banks at
many places and in midstream the
waters have raced madly in their
course. Tuesday the boy was playing
along the railroad on the river bank
when he fell in and was drawn into
the midstream current. He was bat
ting bravely for life when he was
seen by the trainmen.
Throwing on all his power. the en-
CINE driver took the challenge of the
brakeman to overtake the boy By
this time the passengers on the train
we're aware of what was going on,
and every window on the river side
framed the head of man or woman,
while others crowded on to the plat
forms that they might get better
view Of the exciting contest.

by yard it forged ahead Of him until
1t had lead Of perhaps 100 yards.
Stoker stood with one foot on the step
of q car, with his body swinging out
ward, and when the train had what
he thought was sufficient lead he
threw himself clear Of tho train and
alighted beside the rails.
In another instant the man had
leaped into the river and with bold
strokes swan out to where the boy
was putting up his brave but unequal
fight. The train kept moving, always
abreast Of where Stoker and tho boy
were in the water, and az Stoker
grabbed the lad by the hair and began
the fight to get him ashore the pas.
sengers sent up cheers that could be
heard above the rumble Of the train.
It was . terrific struggle for Stoker
who turned on his back and kicked
vigorously as he fought his way across
the rushing tide. He finally landed on
the shore with the boy, and the pas
sengers cheered Historically for the
daring brakeman.
The train was stopped for mo
ment to learn the lads condition.
When It was found that although suf-
fering some from submersion he
would be able to make his way home,
Stoker, without stopping to ask the
lads name. leaped aboard the train
and gave the signal to proceed. The
brakeman did not appear to be at all
disturbed by his remarkable expert
ence.-Toledo Blade.

Tom Painc's Fireplace.

OH FdincS 5 fHSEidCC.
It has long been a mystery to the
admirers of Thomas Paine as to what
became of the fireplace in the Paine
homestead at New Rochelle, N. T.,
now known as the Deveaux huase,
which IL situated in a beautiful psff
on North avenue OF that city and
maintained as Huguenot memorial
by the Huguenot association.
We have for several years carried
on q painstaking search for this bit
of household utility and have at last
discovered the fireplace in the beauti-
full home Of Walter Bell at Woodbury.,
Conn; also the Franklin stove, used
BY the great champion Of freedom.
both Of which are now treasured pos
sessions Of Mr.. Bell, and may be seen

brated with one accord to its rhythm
and grew wild with its frenzy. In one
day America had an emperor, and its
national song had become the Mar
seillaiser'
At midnight Phillip I. sat in the
observation tower he had caused to
be built upon the roof of the White
House watching, waiting. Even the
sudden harsh clatter Of bell within
the apartment did not disturb him
from his statue-like rigidity. Sam
rose and picked up the telephone from
little table IN the corner.
"It's General Rensselaer,, subj" he
said. Gle wants to see yo' all on very
'pawtant business.
''Tell them to let him come up" d.
rected Kelvin without turning his
head. He had accomplished in success
sion all his specious aims until now.
From ocean to ocean for seven days
there had existed state of tense. taut
strain. What violence, what carnage,
what hideous saturnalia Of bloodshed
might break forth at any moment no
one knew. but in the meantime he,
Phillip Kelvin. who but few brief
years before had possessed not dol
Lar and scarce q friend, was still en-
peror Of America! Emperor-Phillip
I. What vast conquests might yet lie
before him!
His preparations for handling this
present situation were excellently laid.
In or near every center Of population
were massed well drilled soldiers able
to combat and to quell any insurrec-
ton. There might be revolt more or
less systematized, but it could do very
little against the systematic resistance
that Kelvin had devised. He had
planned wisely for reorganization Of
social conditions, aud when the coun-
try was once more reorganized upon a
self sustaining basis, where every man
had an equal chance for sustenance
and moderate accumulation, the larger
dreams might materialize, the real vic
tories might begin.
The conquest and annexation of Can.
ada and Mexico would come next and
coextensive with this the building up
Of the largest navy in the world. Eu-

With each new victory would come

Crisply up the steps came Herbert

"How CHASTITY it is up here!' said he.
"Why don't you have some Hght?"
