"It is delightful to most of us to be as­ sured that some deed of otirs has given great pleasure or done much good. Indeed, it gives more satisfac­ tion than many deeds acted out from the most purely seltish motives and will appeal io us-after these rnore self­ ish pleasures cease t.o please. It takes a terrific hold on many people. Women who have beeu able to give liberally have continued after they hits! nothing of value, sending silly, wornout finery that could not pomsiuly be of use to anybody. But they have tasted the joy of conferring benefits, of receiving gratitude, and they simply can't tleny themselves. Why, people have stolen that they might not have to give up the pleasure of bestowing gifts! Noth­ ing can ixceed tl*e lengths to which this passion for giving will carry its victims."--Philadelphia Record. • MOM xYo ? - The Kobtii tand the Rat, One day while a gentieuuiu of Port- hallow, St. Jveverue, was wuikitlg past a farm in the neighborhootl he wus at­ tracted by a robin, which flew'about him, ilapped Its wings in his face some two or three times, and appeared great­ ly excited and distressed. He watched the robin for soma time, and followed it toward a hedge a, short distance away. There he found a rat which had got Into the bird's nest and was devouring one of the young birds. At the sight of the gentleman the rat Jumped out and was promptly knocked senseless. When the robin saw the rat lying on the road sLie flew at~bim and _ pecked him viciously. There were four young birds in the nest; one was killed, but the other three were unhurt-rSt. James' Gaaette. -- The Work of the Heart. Whether it be trae or not that the Egyptians 4,000 years B. C. discovered tlie true functions of the heart and thus anticipated Harvey, it certainly is true that Michael Servitus, whom John Calvin burned to death at Geneva !in looo, in his treatise, "De Trinitatis Erroribus," published in 1533, first maintaiiied the iiuperviousness of the septum and the "transition of blood frour .the right ventricle by the pul­ monary artery to the lungs, thence by the pulmonary vein and left auricle "and venti'khvand the aorta to all parts of the body." More than eighty years later Harvey, taking up the work of that great physi- olbgistfT'ompleted it, and in his work, "Exercitatis de Motu' Cordis et San- guinis" (1G2S),; promulgated to the world his discovery of the true func­ tions' of the heart and of the regular aud periodic circulation of the blood, and it in nowise derogates from his fame or the merit of his discovery to say that it was Michael Servitus who pointed the way to this discovery for him.--New. York Times. Har«eflen1i iinrt Beef. "Here are some means of distinguish- ing between- horsetlesh and beef." said a meat inspector. "llaw horseflesh lb a brownish red In color, whereas in raw beef there is no brown. Haw horsetlesh is soft and tenacious. Touch it, and the. finger sinks in, while as you withdraw the finger the tissues rise with it and cling to it, as though intermixed with glue. But raw beef is not soft nor tenacious In this way. liaw horsetlesh, further­ more, has an odd, metallic smell. "Cooked horseflesh is denser than beef. It is„us dense as a lump of iheese." In taste it is sweet--a sweet- ftess sickening, to my mind. "The best test for horseflesh Is to take a piece of the fat and melt It Horse fat will melt to a clear oil at so low a temperature as 70 degrees P., but beef fat won't melt to a clear oil under a temperature of 112 degrees."-- New York Telegram. Tlie Gallery God«' Applause. Lawrence Barrett once told of a conversation lie had with Edwin Booth. The latter had been congratulated up­ on an ovation given hiin by a crowded house on the.opening night of an en­ gagement "The sweetest music to my .ears," said the great tragedian, "is the shouting of the boys in the gallery. I know they are not applauding because I have a reputation or because they wish to make a display. They simply give vent to their natural enthusiasm. When they shout I know thajkl am giving a good performance. As for the parquet, it may clap its hands out of politeness. A dramatic critic who had certain notions as to how a line should be read will applaud if I read it his way; otherwise he will remain quiet. I can never analyze the applause of the front rows, but the gallery is sin­ cere in its likes or dislikes." Testing; a ltator. The economical young man took bis razor to ohe of the best barbers In town to be honed. Returning to get it, he found it ready for him. "I'll warrant that edge," said the barber. "It does look pretty sharp," said the man, and he began to feel of the edge with his thumb. "But I won't warrant it if you do that," declared the barber^ "It's the worst thing you could possibly do. You might better cut your nails with It than run your finger across the e<Jge once, or shave with it for a month. There's nothing like knowing a thing or two," the barber added.--Exchange. » Memory of Sleepwalker!.
