Nearly all of the men iu hie department were hard drinkers, and 1m was no exoeptk>n | to the rule. But One day it was announced among * the workmen that he had become re­ ligious, and sure enough, when pressed to take a drink, he said: *;i shall never drink mair, lads. Na drunkard can inherit the kingdom o* God." . ; j The knowing ones smiled and said: "Wait a bit. Wait until hot weather-- until July. When he gets as dry as a gravel pit he will give ia. He eaa't help it." Bot right through the hottest months he toiled, the sweat pouring off in streams; yet he never seemed to be tempted to drink. Finally, as I was taking the linen's time one evening, I stopped and spoke to him. "Stowe," said I, "you used to take con­ siderable liquor. Don't you miss it?" "Ye»," said he emphatically. ' How do you manage to keep away frdm it?" •' .feel, jest this way. It is now tan o'clo^t, isn't It?" " Y e s . ^ • , . • • • "Weel, to-dao is the twentieth o' the month.

I Inquired. •'All o' my life," was the earnest reply. "It keeps me sue full o' peace an' happi­ ness that I wouldn't gie it up for any­ thing. It is just as if tie took me by the hand an' scud: 'Wark awa', Striker Stowe, I'm wi' ye. Dinna be fearfu.'

Each perspirat ory duct is one-fourth of an inch in length, the total length ic all the human body being about nine miles. The human heart weighs from eight to twelve ounces and beats JO j, 000 times every twenty- four hours. An amount of blood equal to all that contained in tbe body passes through the heart once every three minutes.

About two thirds of a pint of air is inha'ed and exhaled at cach breath of ordinary respiration. It is estimated that in a lifetime of three score j ears and ten that the heart beats not less than two billion live hundred and thirty-eight miiliea eight hundred and forty-eight thou* sand times. ; ^ The lifting power of the heart, ac­ cording to Dr. Richardson, is eqoal to the feat of raising five tons one foot per hour.
