THE HUMAN BODY.
J?mpoilUon of (In- llouae In Which
Mnn'a Spirit Abides.
The foundation of the liuiunil body
is composed of 200 banes, covered
with 522 voluntary muscles. Tile
smaller blood vessels are bo numerous
as to be beyond the tolling, but we
have no fewer than about 1,000 ai'terles
through .which the lnood Ih always
flowing under the government of tho
heart.
The blood 1b composed of two constit?
uents, termed by physiologists red and
white corpuscles, numbering some thou?
sands of millions.
Our house has something liko COO
tiny telegraph wires, culled nerves,
cpnueeted with tho brain and spinal
cord, nnd these little wires are always
throb hi Dg with messages which they
telegraph to the main olllco?tho brain.
Besides these there are the sympathet?
ic wires, or nerves, numbered by thou?
sands, which help the former.
The front of our house, tbo skin, has
been measured up nod found, If sprond
out, to cover lit"teen si[iinre feet.
. The ventilation scheme by which we
get our fresh air Is built of such flue
porous stuff that. If sproad out, it
woultl be found to cover a stretch of
laud big enough to contain u fifteen
roomed house. Wo refer to the lungs
which have hundreds of millions of
ulr cells.
To every square Inch of tho palm of
the bund tire 2,500 pores, whllo the
number of sweat glands In the skin
generally Is 2,500,000. Their function
Is to deposit secretions upon the skin;
hence the necessity of a dally tub to
wash this stuff away, otherwise It clogs
the sweat glands and prevents their
proper working.
SUNSTROKE.
Properly Spcnklnsr, It Shonld lie
Called llent Apoplexy.
What Is called "sunstroke," tho ef?
fect of grout bent, should bo "beat
apoplexy." The misnomer leads tho
multitude to suppose that death from
.It la caused through being si ruck
down by cxpoauro to n special nin
levolency of tho sun's rays. This Is
not bo, for patients nie with equal fre?
quency found In houses and barracks
and tents and at night as well as day
and, whether lu sun or sbnde, are gen?
erally those whose health Is debilitated
by dissipation, disease and overfattgua,
nnd tho evidences from nil parts of
the world show that exposure to In?
tense Htm rays I? less to bo feared In
dry countries than In countries whore
the temperature Is much lower, but
tbo atmosphere Is moist, and Perspira?
tion Is consequently retarded.
People suffer more from a tempera?
ture of H7 degrees I<\ at Kr?ssels than
at 122 degrees P. at Cairo, owing to
the moist air of tho first and tho ex?
trem o dryncss of the sir lu tbo latter

Family Creaia In Eujjl?nd.
She had discovered tho family crest
nnd was having a dlo mndo for her let?
ter paper.
"You'd have to pay $5 n year to use
this crest on your stationary If you
wero English," said the stationer.
"There is In England n tax of $5 a year
on all who sport a crest."
"So few people nro entitled to a
crest, though," she stilt], "I shouldn't
think such a tax would bring in tho
English government much money."
"Tbo tax brings In $250.000 a year,"
replied the stationer. "There nro 60.
000 English with crests on their sta?
tionery."
Tim Marrlnice Knot.
A good deal is heard of tho "mnrringo
knot," but very few of us reallzo that
the kuot was ever anything more than
a figure of speech. Among the Baby?
lonians tying tho knot wns part of the
marriage ceremony, says Home Chat.
'JJhe priest took a thread from the gnr
ineut of tho bride nnd another from
that of tho bridegroom nnd tied thorn
Into a knot, which he gave to tbo bride,
thus symbolizing the binding nature of
the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.

SAINT OF THE COOKS.
A Queen of (he Culinary Art Wb*
Lived In Genoa.
Sunta Zita, as the patron saint of the
cooks is named, lived, It appears, nt
Genoa and wits there canonized, Phe
could, so runs the legend, cook better
than any chef within 300 miles of the
town, which, wo nil know, Is Rioted for
its wonderful soups and dumplings

Vienna, since it is ono of the chief ar<
tides in tho religion of gastronomy
that It Is only iu the kalserstadt that
tho "gloae" is in perfection. Santa
Zita was, tt seems, uot less famous for
her piety than for cooking nud was a
constant attendant nt the cathedral
during high mass.
Ono day, however, she fell Into a
trance, so culled?though. In plain Eng?

Avoiding the Doctor.
Dr. Sanderson, an old Scotch ptiy*
bIcIuii, was a <j?jcer character, but a
clever doclor.
So roughly did he handle bis pntlents
that the ignorant wore chiefly auxious
lo escape him. The story goes that as
he was passing along the street ono
day n sweep rolled from the top to the
bottom of a staircase outside one of
the houses.
"Are you hurt?" called the doctor,
running forward.
"Sot a bit, doctor?not a bit," reiAicd
the man In haste. "Indeed, I feel a1

FORGET YOURSELF.

Forgot yourself. You will never do
unytiling great until you do. Self con?
sciousness 1* n ?Ilsenso wltli many.
No ututtur what tliey do, tbey can nev
er get uway from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject o.
self analysis, wondering bow they
look, liow they appear, what other*
will think of them and how tbey can
enhance their own Interests. In other
words, every thought und every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radV
atos from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self centered. The sympathies of
tho man who thinks only of himself
arc soon dried up. Self consciousness
acts us a paralysis to all expansion,
strangles enlargement, kills aspiration,
cripples executive ability. Tho mind
which accomplishes things looks out;
not in; It Is focused upou its object;
not upon Itself.
The Immortal acts have been uncon?

secret yearnings of the heart, not those
which have been delivered facing s
