REAL THREAD OF LIFE.
A Tiny Wisp of Tissue Imbedded
the Heart’s In
Walls.
According to tradition, it was Atro
pos. the blind Fury with the abhorred
shears, who'slit the thin spun i ife
a » d many of Miltons readers
hu\e wondered mav
whether there was any
thieud in the anatomy of man tin
severance of which would be iminedi
ately ratal. Injuries to the brain and
heart in both of which the principle
of Ide has been supposed to reskD
may be survived for shorter or lom-er
periods; but. as an article by Dr. (j.^E
Lea reminds us. physiologists have of
late years discovered a nerve or bun
die of nerves which might well be de
scribed as the thread of life. One ol
the developing sciences of our time is
cardiography, the science of th.* heart
beat. The heart, as most people
is are
aware, divided into auricles and
ventricles. The ventricles are the
pumping chambers; the auricles are
the collecting chambers of the blood
and, like the stroke of a racing eight
set little the rhythm of the heart beat.” A
instrument called the sphvgmo
grnph is placed on the wrist pulse and
magnifies its movements and traces
them with a recording pen in a zigzag
curve, telling the observer what the ven¬
tricles are doing. Another instrument,
the polygraph, placed on the jugular,
records the more delicate vibrations
of the aurjcle. With the aid of these
two instruments the physician can find
what all the four chambers of the heart
are doing. Now, the auricular con¬
traction acts as a stimulant or start¬
ing shock to tjie ventricular contrac¬
tion Most stimuli are conveyed along
nerves. Therefore a little nerve in
the heart to act as a telegraph wire
between auricle and ventricle was to
be expected. Such n thing has been
found by physiologists; but. rather than
a nerve, it is a specialized sensitive por¬
tion of the heart muscle itself. It is a
little wisp of tissue not an inch long
and only one-twelfth of an inch thick
On this delicate communicating wisp,
called the aurieulo ventricular bundle,
hangs existence itself. Evolution has
arranged that it shall be so small and
so sheltered in position in the heart that
It is rarely damaged even by large In¬
juries to that organ. But if it is sev¬
ered then the ventricles must stop and
life must instantaneously cease.—Lon¬

THE P0ST0FFICE.
it Seemed to Be Located In a Rather
Lonely Place.
A veteran stagecoach driver in Idaho
used to tell of an incident that hap
pened when he drove the stage over
to Boise City from the Union Pacific
line. He had on one trip only a single
passenger, a little tenderfoot of a New
England schoolma’am going to take
charge of a school in that town. She
had never before been farther from
Boston than the Hudson river. Along
about dusk one evening as she sat on
the box by the driver and the team
wound its way around the shoulder of
a bleak mountain a highwayman sud¬
denly stepped into the middle of the
road aud held up his hand. A cocked
rifle rested easily in the hollow of his
arm and its muzzle pointed straight
at the driver's head. He quickly pulled
up.
"Throw over Weils-Fargo’s box!’
said the man with the gun.
The driver reached down and flung
fbe box into the road; then be started
to gather up the reins.
“Hold 9 n!” the other cried impatient¬
ly. "Where’s the mail bag? Don’t you
think 1 want that?”
For reply the driver swiftly kicked
it overboard.
“AH right,” said the man on the
ground in affable tone; “you can drive
on now.”
For half a mlie they rolled along in
silence, scboolma’am and driver. The
former seemed to be in deep study. At
last, turning to the driver, she said. “I
don’t know anything about the west,
of course, but that certainly does seem
to be an awfully lonesome place to
have a postotfice.”—Washington Post
A Useless Implement.
Aunt Ann Arkwright, the bustling
spouse of Uncle Joshua Arkwright,
proudly showed him a silver imple¬
ment which a friend had given her as
a birthday present, it was shaped
something like a spatula, but broad
ened considerably toward the handle
Uncle Joshua inspected it with some
curiosity
"What is it?” he asked.
"Haven’t you any idea?” she said.
"No, not the least in the world.”
"Well.” said Aunt Ann, "it’s a pie
knife.”
Uncle Joshua picked it up, inspected
It critically and laid it down again.
“I haven’t any use for it.” he said,
“as far as I’m concerned it’s too
wide. I couldn’t eat pie with it ’thout
cutting my mouth ’’—Youth’s Compan¬
ion.
Dyed Articles.
In dyeing at home amateurs often
make the mistake of puttinj the dyed
article through the wringer, possibly
to avoid staining the bauds for one
reason or perhaps hoping to dry the
garment more quickly. This, however,
should never be done, for the creases
so formed are most obstinate and. in
fact, often only disappear with wear,
despite all pressing. Dyed articles
should tye squeezed from the batb and
hung out of doors to dry.

WATCHES j
IN WEDDING CAKE. |
A Scheme That Was Disclosed by a
Gleeful Girl Who Could Not Hold
Her Tongue—Gloves That Came One
«t a Time and Corsets In Sections.
loo few people think it a crime to
swindle the customs. For that reason
many bright and brainy persons think
hard how to get goods from abroad
without paying toll to Uncle Sam. As
most of the successful operators in
this line are women, who have more
time to think about such things than
men, it can be imagined that the cus¬
toms officers have to be eternally alert
to protect the government.
1 b# avenues through the steamship
passenger route are pretty carefully
guarded, and as ^comparatively few
people go abroad the great mass of
dwellers in this protected land are de¬
barred from sharing in the humorous
little game of hide the diamond or
smuggle the silk. But there is an¬
other avenue that Is being used enthusi
astieally by the anti-duty aggregation
It is the United States mail.
With the immense volume of foreign
mall delivered to this country it is
manifestly impossible to open and ex¬
amine every package that seems to
contain newspapers or merely a bulky
letter to see whether or not some duti¬
able article is concealed therein. So
far as It is possible, however. It Is
done, and the addressee has to go to
the postoffice and pay duty on the
amount at which the dutiable article
is appraised.
The custom house experts at the
postotfice have their hands full check¬
mating the clever moves of those who
are constantly devising new ways to
disguise dutiable things as innocent
looking parcels.
“We used to pass cakes through
without question,” said one of the ex¬
aminers. “It seemed too bad to lay
hands on a Christmas pudding sent by
relatives in England to some exile in
this country. It also disturbed the sen¬
timental side of a customs officer to
demolish a section of wedding cake
that had been sent from the old borne
in Germany to Fritz in America. So
we let these sacred things pass
[ through. But one day we had an
awakening. One of the customs men
heard that a neighbor had obtained a
new watch from abroad. It had come
through duty free, and the gleeful girl
who was wearing it could not keep
quiet about the clever way the post
office had been deluded. It seems the
watch had been baked right into the
cake and had come through without
discovery. Now, this forced us to take
some step to prevent a repetition of
such smartness, and ever after that
we held on to all cakes or puddings
that eatne in packages through the
mail. A letter is sent to the person to
whom the package is addressed, and
this person (it is almost always a wo¬
man) has to come to the postoffice aud
cut the £ake or slice the pudding right
in front of the customs officer. Do we
catch a Tartar occasionally? Well, you
may take it for granted that any one
who would try this trick Is a Tartar,
to begin with, and so we don’t get off
without a scene when the cutting time
comes.
“A trick that fooled us for a time
was the sending through the mail of
one glove a trifle creased to give the
Idea that it was merely a worn glove
that had been left if) Europe by a tour¬
ist. With the glove would come a let¬
ter to that effect. ‘You went away
without one of your gloves,’ etc. Of
course we passed it through unsuspect¬
ingly. But we got so many of these
that it began to look suspicious. So
we held on to one of them, and by the
next mail there came another glove
from the same address to the same
person. The glove was the fellow to
the other. Then we got another left
hand glove and later the right hand
glove to match it. The trick was sim¬
ple and admirable In its simplicity.
Gloves were being sent through in
quantities, one at a time.
"But the queerest trick we exposed
the other day. A woman was accumu
tying a large stock of fancy corsets
without troubling about the duty that
should have been paid on them. The
trick was to send half a corset through
the mail. We knew of no rule about
paying duty on half a corset It ap¬
peared to us to be a mere remnant of
the up to date woman’s attire and not
important enough to consider as duti¬
able. along
"So we passed the half corset
and thought no more of it. But half
corsets began to drop in with aii too
great frequency. It looked as though
corset remnants had suddenly attained
considerable Importance in some one’s
estivation. So one of the men put it
up to his wife, and she took some¬
thing less than a fraction of a second
to puncture the scheme. The half Cor¬
set was useless in itself, but when the
other half arrived there was a French
corset ready for wearing.

FEATS OF STRENGTH.
A Blacksmith Who Fairly Outdid Au¬
gustus the Strong.
Not all the world’s strong men have
been performers on the public stage.
Indeed, instances might be multiplied
m which the feats of professionals
have been equaled or excelled.
Charles I.ouvier, a carpenter of Paris,
found it child's play to roll a tin basin
between his fingers into a cylinder.
On one occasion he carried off a sol¬
dier on guard xvho had gone to sleep
in the sentry box and deposited both
the box and the soldier on a low
churchyard wall near by.
Another man who sometimes found
his great strength a source of amuse¬
ment was a Danish locksmith. Knut
Knudsou. While standing in a win¬
dow on the ground floor he lifted with
one hand half a bullock from the
shoulder of a butcher who was toiling
past with his load.
Augustus the Strong, the elector of
Saxony, once entered a blacksmith’s
shop to have his horse shod. To show
ills suit how strong he was he picked
up several horseshoes and broke one
after the other, asking the blacksmith
as he did so if he had no better. When
it came to paying the bill the elector
threw a silver piece on the anvil. It
was a very thick coin. The blacksmith
took it up and broke it in half, saying,
‘Tardon me, but I have given you a
good horseshoe, and I expect a good
coin in retiyn.” Another piece was
offered him. He broke that and five
or six others. Then the humiliated
elector handed him a louis d'or, saying,
“The others were probably made of
bad metal, but this gold piece is good.
I hope.”
An Italian, Luigi Bertini of Milan,
performed a similar feat. Besides
horseshoes, he broke nails a finger
thick.
The Duke of Grammont, the minis¬
ter of Napoleon III. frequently aston¬
ished the women at jourt by bending
a twenty franc piece in his hand.—
New York Tribune.
Early Italian Surgery.
Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) tells of
early Italian surgery. He had got a
bit of chipped steel in his eye, “so far
Into the pupil that It was impossible
to get it out. so that l was in very
great danger of losing that eye. But
the surgeon came to the rescue with
the pigeons. The surgeon, making me
lie upon my back, with a little knife
opened a vein in each of their wings,
so that the blood ran into my eye, and
I was thereby greatly relieved. In the
space of two days the bit of steel Is¬
sued from my eye, aud I found that I
had received considerable ease and In
a great measure recovered my sight”
ARAGO’S NOSE.
It Was Enormous In Size, but It Was
Safely Anchored.
Emmanu<$ Arogo, the French politi¬
cian, was a nephew of the noted as¬
tronomer and was considered a hand¬
some man, although his nose was ex¬
tremely conspicuous. At one time he
was traveling by train to Versailles
when a child who was in the same car
and who had Watched Arago for some
time with dilated eyes began to cry
In vain did the child’s mother en¬
deavor to calm the perturbed juvenile
The poor mother was in despair, and
as the shrieks grew more and more
piercing Arago felt bound to interfere
and see what he could do. He said to
the child:
“What alls you, my dear?”
Thus addressed, the child sobbed
out, “Take off your nose.”
Arago looked at the mother, who
very confused aud said:
“Ah, monsieur, excuse me—excuse
my son.”
“But, madame," said Arago, “what
he mean?”
The mother then explained that she
had during the carnival taken her
child to see a number of persons in
masks and with false noses and be
had become so excited that he could
of nothing else.
“By an unfortunate occurrence." she
“we got Into the same carriage
you, who no doubt for some good
reason are prolonging tbe carnival.
But you see what a deplorable result
has followed. Let me then beg of you
to have pity on a poor mother and
take off your nose."
“But, madame,” said Arago, stupe
fled.
“A little more and my child will
have convulsions.” shrieked the moth
“Take off your false nose.”
“But, madame.” said Arago in de¬
“that is Impossible. This is not
false nose, but my own!”
“Impossible. Impossible!” cried the
lady.
“Touch it,” said Arago.
The indy gave a pull at Arago’s
but it did not come off in her
hand, as she had expected.
“A thousand pardons.” she said, “but
pray, hide It with your hat.”
So Arago continued his journey with
bis nose in his hat, and the child's
screams gradually subsided. Arago
used to tell the story with
glee.

NOT A PLUMBER BORN.
The Beginner Who )N as Sent to Find a
Leak and Failed.
Fipes & Fassitt ran a busy shop
They had men out working the eight
hour day in the Washington heights
district. They had helpers out, too, at
the regular rates.
Monday morning had opened up with
a rush. Joints were bursting, and
bathtubs were tlovviug over.
Fassitt generally followed up the
jobs, seeing that they were covered.
Fipes held the desk dowu and made
out the bills.
Presently the door pushed open, and
a hardy looking young fellow came in.
He handed a uote to Mr. Pipes. Pipes
read it.
"Please, sir,” said the young fellow.
“Don’t ‘please’ anybody here,” said
Pipes. “Riley says you’re a good man
and willing to work. Biddowu!"
The hardy looking young fellow sat
for five minutes; theL 4ae telephone
rang.
“Get that off the wire,” said Pipes.
The young man got it.
“It’s Mr. Silverberg that owns the
big apartment house on St. Nicholas
avenue. His star tenant complains of
a leak iu the ceiling from the floor
overhead.”
“You take that wrench and go over,”
said Pipes. “Locate the floor. Get
around to Congdon’s, where we've got
a contract, and lift a helper, Go back
and find the leak. Then report to me.
Don’t hurry too much.”
The young man departed, returning
in a couple of hours.
“Nothing doing, Mr. Pipes,” he said.
“The tenant overhead spilled some wa¬
ter in a corner of the kitchen. It ran
under the sink and followed the pipe
line to the floor below. That was ail."
Pipes kept on making out bills. A
ninety cent clock got along to 12 just
as the noon whistle blew outside.
Then Tipes rose up sadly.
“Here's sitting time,” he said. “Take
the money. You’ll need it. A tenant

PRISONERS OF WAR.
Friendly Foes That Changed Places as
Guest* and Hosts.
A cheerful Incident of the war be¬
tween the states Is told In “Mission
Ridge and Lookout Mountain.” The
'I hird Ohio, under S'.relght’s command,
was on route foe Richmond, prisoners
of war.
One night they camped, worn, fam
lshed, with hearts 'aeavy and home¬
sick, near the place where a Confeder¬
ate regiment, the Fifty fourth Virginia,
was stationed. Many of th« southern¬
ers strolled over to lie prison camp to
see the sorry show >f the poor, sup
pcrless Yankees.
They did not stay long. Back to
their own camp they hurri'jd aud soon
returned with kettles of coffee, corn
bread, bacon—the best tfcey had and
all they had. Presently little fires be¬
gan to twinkle in the p.lson camp, and
the aroma of coffei r»se like a fra¬
grant cloud of thank offering. Union
guests and Confederate hosts mingled.
The next morning, the prisoners de¬
parted.
Now comes a happy sequel which
well balances the affair. Later, when
the prisoners were exchanged, the
Third Ohio was encamped near Kelly’s
ferry, on the banks of the Tennessee.
On the day of the s/orming of Mis¬
sionary ridge among the prisoners tak¬
en were numbered the Fifty-fourth
Virginia.
Some of the Third Ohio were on
duty at the ferry when the prison de¬
tachments arrived.
“What regiment Is that?” they asked.
When told they started on the run.
shouting as they went:
“The Fifty-fourth Virginia’s at the
ferry!”
They dashed into their camp with
the news. The place was astir in¬
stantly. Treasures of coffee, bacon,
sugar, beef, preserved peaches-every¬
thing was turned out and carried
double quick to the ferry. The cir¬
cumstances were the same, with the
difference that guests and hosts had
eh, nged places.
Rammed by a Shark.
The strangest shark story which
ever came to the writer's ears was of
a shark that charged a steamer. This
was in Queen Charlotte's sound, and
an account of the incident appeared in
a Vancouver paper. The captaiu of
the steamer, which was a small craft
of only fifty tons or so, saw the shark
on the surface on the port bow and
could not resist the temptation of tak¬
ing a shot at it with his rifle. He hit
his mark, whereupon the monster, said
to have been fully twenty feet in
length, deliberately charged the steam¬
er. The boat quivered from stem to
stern, and the captain said afterward
that it was like striking a rock. After
this display of temper Master Shark
had had enough of it and sank out of
sight.—T. C. Bridges in Chambers’
Journal.
