BUSY CELL T0ILERS.
The Marvellous Work They Constantly
Perform In the E,ood.

The blood cells are important men,
bers Of the cell community and are ex-
ceedingly numerous. there being over
75.OOO.OO0.OCO % the red blood cells
alone. These red blood cells move In
the blood currents. carrying through
the arteries each its little load Of OK
ygen. which 1t transports TO the dis
tant tissues that they may be inyig-
Grated and vitalized anew. and. re-
turning, carrying through the veins the
debris and waste products Of the sys-
TEN to the great crematOry Of the
lungs. where the waste is burned and
thrown OFF from the body.
Like the ships that sail the sea. each
cell carries its outgoing cargo and re-
turns with another one. Some Of these
cells perform the office Of special re-
pairers, forcing their way through the
walls of the blood vessels and pene-
trating the tissues in order TO perform
their special tasks.
There are several other kinds Of cells
i'm the blood besides the carriers just
mentioned. There are the wonderful

The police cells are on the constant
lookout for germs, bacteria and other
microscopic disturbers Of the peace Of
the body.
When these tiny policemen discover
vagrant germs or criminal bacteria
they rush upon the intruder and. ty-
ing him up i'm mesh. proceed TO de
YOUR him. If the intruder be too large
or vigorous a call for assistance l.
sent out. and the reserve police rush
TO the assistance Of their brothers and
overpower the disturber Of the peace.
Sometimes when the vagrants are too
numerous the policemen throw them
out from the body by means Of PIN
pies, boils and similar eruptions. In
case Of infectious diseases an army
corps is ordered out in full strength.
and a royal fight is waged between the
invading army and the defenders of

MAGIC WATER TOYS.
Wonderful Play Toys That Amuss the
Children Of tho Orient.

Europe and America turn out for the
edification Of their children many In
genious toys, but the occidental young
sters have nothing to compare with the
strange Expanding water toys with
which the children Of the far east
have for centuries amused themselves.
These are placed In small wooden
boxes similar to the little paint boxes
80 often seen In our own country. They
have the appearance Of soiled shavings,
broken matches and dilapidated tooth
picks, but when thrown into the water
the ingenious toys at once exhibit prop
critics that show them to be cOnsidera-
bly, more than mere bits Of stick.
The wood OF these toys has been kiln
dried, and Immediately 1t touches the
water 1t begins to absorb the water
and to expand almost indefinitely. As
Il increases In size II separates and
suddenly opens, becoming very pret-
ty toy. One stick will change into a
fowerpot containing. 1t may be, a rose
bush in full bloom. Another becomes
an obese mandarin carrying an um-
brella. Still another will take the form
of sea serpent, very ferocious in its
tiny dimensions.
Then, too, there are toys which show
az whales, tigers, crocodiles, etc. The
figures are colored and present a be
wildering variety In design and treat
ment. Their manufacture is a trade
secret, kept inviolate by the guild that
turns them out by the thousands.
For older children there are provid-
ed larger and even more artistic fig
ures, consisting OF historical charac-
ters-rulers, poets and soldiers-and
dwarfed trees and tiny houses, whose
doors and windows are full Of inmates,
are also among this class. The more
ordinary kind cost mere song, but
the finer toys are quite expensive

The Game Of Life.

The game we are all playing is a
losing game at best. Yet we must
play. We cannot get up and leave the
table knowing the dice are cogged and
the cards marked against us. We
must play on, losing our principal
stake little by little or in splendid
rouleaux, as chance or our disposition
may urge, but knowing well that In
the end, soon or late, whatever re-
mains Of 1t will be swept from the
board. Lucky the man who is tempt
ed to play but the one stake. Happy
the man who in death loses only his
life.-F. L. Dunno I'm American Maga-
zine

FAR DISTANT URANUS.
Oddities q Visit to This Gigantic
Planet Would Disclose.

If Uranus, which is a star OF about
the sixth magnitude, were a planet
like those little ones called asteroids,
which are being discovered by the
dozen every year, il could not have
much claim upon popular attention,
but Uranus is really gigantic world,
more than sixty times as large as ours.
Its vast distance, about 1,7OOOOO,OOO
miles from the earth, is what causes
1t to look so small.
Uranus has four moons, which re
volve backward I'm their Orbits-that Is
to say, they revolve from east to west
around Uranus, while Uranus goes,
like all the other planets, from west to
east around the sun. 1t is believed
that Uranus rotates backward on its
axis also. Moreover, the axis OF that
great, strange globe lies In such di-
rection that In the course Of its year,
which is equal to eighty-four of our
years, the sun shines almost perpen-
dicularly first upon one pole and then
upon the other.
Measured by our time standard,
there are forty years Of constant day
light, followed by forty years Of un-
broken night, around the poles OF
Uranus, and the sun rises In the west
and sets In the east there, but the sun
looks very small when viewed from
Uranus-only one four-hundredth as
large as 1t appears to us. Still 1t sheds
upon that planet 1900 times as much
light as the full moon sends to the
earth, so that daylight upon Uranus,
while faint compared with the blaze OF
a terrestrial MONDAY, Is nevertheless
a very respectable kind of illumina-
ton.

A few years ago the Providenc

A few years ago the Providence
city council hit on a big scheme TO
increase the municipal revenue.
Some wise councillor conceived the
plan Of leasing the space on the
Bridge, the only public market place
in the city, to venders of vegetables,
fruit, etc., most of whom come in
from the country. 1t was found,
however, that the idea, brilliant as
it was, could not be carried into
effect without the legalizing infiu-
ence of the General Assembly.
Strange though that the majority OF
the members OF that body coae from
country districts, the bill became a
law without any hold up or hind
rance. Now the city of Providence
receives about $4,000 a year for
the privilege Of letting the poor farm
ers stay out in the sun and rain and
try to sell their produce to the city
consumer. OF course the price OF
the ground rental comes out OF the
consumer, who really owns all the
streets and squares of the city. But
the worst feature of this foolish
enactment is the fact that it has
tendency to discourage the raising OF
agricultural products in the country
adjacent to the city. The cry is
that the consumption of farm prod
ucts far exceeds the supply, and still
the producer is taxed directly and
the consumer. indirectly in order
they may deal together. Some
better way should be devised to
make good the $4,000.

Hon. Aram Pothier is pretty
sure to be the Republican nominee
for governor this fall, and it is "dol-
lars to doughnuts" that he will be
elected for a two year term. The
balance of the state ticket will SAVIOR
very much of sameness, or in other
words, the only change will be a
new man for the office of lieuten-
ant governor. Governor Pothier
has proved a good governor; there
seems no real criticism that can be
made against him. He is not perhaps
political perfection, but he has made
good and what more can be requir-
ed. 1t will be piece OF good for
tune if he consents to run again,
and it seems likely that he will.
This is presidential year, which is
generally pretty good year in
Rhode Island for the 6 0. p. 1t is
generally predicted that the Re-
publicans will nominate Messrs
Utter, Sheffield and Kennedy for
Congress. Their chances for election
look fairly bright.

out what day of the month it was
If possible we happend to notice
that Feberwary had 20 days in it

Well, then we tfort the, callen-

it was entitled to. We got this

know what the mistake was and
we told him Feb. had 2e days IN
