The heart of the oak begins to rot at about the ago of 300 years. Os the holly it is said that there is a speci men 410 years old near Aschaffen burg, Germany. Chicago Record- Herald. Work of the Rivers. The annual rainfall on all the land surface of the globe amounts to 29,000 cubic miles. Only one fifth of this, or 6,500 cubic miles, drains off through rivers. The rest is absorbed and evaporated. But each cubic mile of river water car ries in solution on an average 762,- 000 tons of dissolved foreign mat ter. By all the rivers 5,000,000,000 tons of solid substance is thus car ried annually to the sea. Suspend ed sediments, or silt, the enormous mechanical load of streams, are not included in these figures. Only the dissolved matter is considered, rep resenting the chemical work on rock ana soil which the percolating waters have accomplished. The Mississippi carries past New Or leans each year 93,369,000 tons of dissolved salts, the product of chem ical erosion. Minneapolis Tribune. You Lose Weight During the Night.

TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE. HIS WIFE’S CHOICE. The Worried Man, the Wall Paper and the Comment of the Clerk. With an apologetic air the wor ried man, who had been gazing in the decorator’s windows, finally en tered and asked to see samples of wall paper. “About what price?” asked the clerk. “Fifty cents a roll,” said the man.; “My wife won’t pay any more.” “Well,” said the clerk, taking down a roll, “here is something in light colors that”— “Oh, no; that won’t do. My wife says the children get light colored paper soiled too quickly.” “Here is something in a darker shade with”— “That won’t do at all. My wife wouldn’t like that because it makes the room too dark.” “Here is a design in a medium tone” — “I’m afraid not,” said the man nervously. “That has a small fig ure, and my wife says small figures are always monotonous.” “Then how about this?” asked the clerk wearily, “with the big roses in it and the” — “I’m sure that wouldn’t suit my wife,” was the answer. “She thinks the room is too small for large fig ures.” “We have a very pretty pattern done in a conventionalized” — “Oh, please' don’t say that!” begged the man. “My wife told me particularly not to get anything of that kind. She thinks they are too dead looking.” “In that case,” said the clerk des perately, “we have the very thing —medium background, with small flowers sprinkled on it in neutral colors, altogether a very”— “I’m afraid that is hardly it,” said the man, looking more worried than ever. “My wife says flowers on wall paper never look like any thing but smudges.” “Say,” said the clerk, rolling up his stock, “you don’t want wall pa per. You want a divorce.” —New York Herald. Picking ’Em by Their Tunes. “Employers have their own ideas about the sort of man that will fit into a certain job,” said the man ager of a local employment bureau. “Not many days ago I sent an able bodied, capable looking young man around to the office of a big con tractor who had a position he want ed filled. I thought I had found just the man for him. But the young man came back here disap pointed and said he didn’t get the job for some reason—he couldn’t figure out why. I called up the con tractor, and he explained how it was. ‘The fellow kept whistling a lot of tunes such as “Auld Lang Syne” and “The Suwanee River” while he was waiting to see me,’ said the contractor, ‘and I decided ' that he wouldn’t do before I even , saw him. He must be a slow mov ing, slow thinking man or he would whistle livelier tunes. Send me around a man who likes to whistle “A Hot Time” or “Hiawatha” and I’ll take him.’ ” —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Origin of the Menu. Os the origin of the menu this story is told: Duke Henry of Bruns wick when sitting at a sumptuous 1 feast was noticed to glance fre- , quently at a long slip of paper. Questioned by his neighbor, the Count of Montfort, as to the reason , of his table studies, he replied that the “master of the kitchen” had drawn up for his and his stomach’s benefit a list of all the dishes, just to enable his master to reserve his appetite for the best things to come. ' The other guests were so well , pleased with the intelligent cook’s . invention that the habit of writing out bills of fare instantly spread in Germany. The dinner whence the custom began is said to have taken place at Regensburg in 1541. Mahogany, Mahogany wood was first import ed by England in 1724, although in 1597 Sir Walter Raleigh demon strated the great value of this wood, which was used in repairing his ships at Trinidad. From 1724 un-| til the discovery of the mahogany | forests of Africa by Stanley Eng land and continental Europe were| heavy purchasers of mahogany j from the West Indies, Honduras | and Mexico. A great part of the I mahogany used in this country in 1 early years came from Europe, it ■ having first reached there from the West Indies, Mexico and Honduras.: Borrowed Plumes.

The Brooklyn woman who was recently reported to have fled at midnight into the street, crying out that she was dying, and all because her pulse was beating a little more rapidly than usual, may be said to suffer from ignorance regarding the pulse, which is common enough. Here are a few facts concerning the interesting little indicator in ques tion which it is well all should be come acquainted with: A regular and steady pulse which is not easily put out of measure by pressure always indicates a healthy condition of the system. If, how ever, there is an intermittent beat ing of the pulse it is an indication that the heart’s action is faulty. You need not, however, take alarm, since there is no portion of the body, no matter how vital, which does not get out of order many times in the year. If the pulse is beating very rapidly the nervous system is out of order. When fe ver is present the action is rapid and very full, and there is evident distention of the vein. If you are a healthy person in the prime of life your pulse will move at the rate of seventy-two beats to the minute, though the number will vary according to the hour of the day. Do not think, however, that you are more vigor ous than others because your pulse beats at the rate of 80 or 90 to the minute. One whose pulse beats at the rate of only 40 or 45 is as like ly to be quite as vigorous. Artists, declares Ribot, a French physician, as a rule, have a normal pulse action of 78 to 84; mathematicians, from 60 to 70; laborers, from 65 to 68. The French Dr. Quetelet has drawn up a table showing the ac tion of the pulse at different stages of life. At birth the little indi cator gallops along at the rate of 136 to the minute; at five years, at the rate of 88; from ten to fifteen, at a rate of 78. Here a drop oc curs, and between fifteen and twen ty there is a fall to 69. Between twenty-five and thirty the rate is 71; between thirty and fifty, about 70. During recent years the exact, state of any given heart has been gaugeable, owing to the invention known as the sphygmograph, which registers the action of the pulse and so tells the truth about the heart. Any doctor can tell you whether your heart is weak or strong and, without a doubt, whether a sudden death is likely to be your portion. — New York World.
