The human heart is practically a
force pump about six inches in
length and four inches in diameter.
It beats seventy times per 'minute,
4,200 times per hour, 100,800 times
per day and 36,792,000 times per
year, and 2,575,440,000 -say, two
thousand five hundred and seventy.
five million four hundred and forty
thousand -times in seventy years,
which is "man's appointed three-
score years and `ten." At each of
these beats it forces 21 ounces of
blood through the system, 175
minces per minute, 6561 pounds per
hour, or 71 tons per day. All the
blood of the body which is about
thirty pounds, passes through the
heart every three minutes. This lit-
tle organ pumps every day what is
equal to lifting 122 tons one foot
high or one ton 122 feet high -that
is, one ton to the top of a forty -yard
mill chimney, or sixteen persons
weighing 125 pounds each to the
same height. During the seventy
years of a man's life this marvellous
little pump, without a single mo-
ment's rest, night or day, discharges
the enormous quantity of 173,850
tons of blood.

ICITCHEN CONVENIENCES.
Many conveniences inaer be provid-
ed for the kitchen that are worth
much more than their cost. One of
these is a white poreelain lined sink,
which is both useful and ornament-
al, so easy to wash and keep free
from. dust, and so clean, Do not
have a little closet built under for
it will be damp and dark in spite of
all you can do.
Most stoves have reservoirs, which
if kept well filled, settles the water
question, for the water will_ keep
warm long after the fire has gone
out. The next best thing is a cop-
per -or nickel plated tank large
enough to hold five or six gallons,
with it faucet near the bottom, ine.de
to set on the back of the stove. -
There should be a large shelf or
table for the dishwasher, for if the
housekeeper wishes to lessen 'and
brighten this task, she needs plenty
of water and plenty of room. The.
soiled dishes may be Tut on one side
the draining pan on thee'other, with
the dish pan half full of hot dieter,
in which a little washing powder
has been dissolved between. Then
with plenty of clean towels 'for dry-
ing, thiS will become a pleasant
task. A row of drawers under the
kitchen table for dish cloths, towels
and other much needed articles is a
delight to the careful housewife.
Have a place cut in theepartition
between the kitchen and the dining
room, about two and a half feet
square and four feet from -the floor.
Place a shelf on the lower part of
this opening, which will project on
each side Eve or six inches, and a
little door that may be left up or
down When the dining table is
baked apples, no matter how fresh
and mellow. An additional reason..
why cooked fruits are recommended
lies in the fact 'that so large it part
of the fruit in the market is sold
after being from a few days to
many months in cold storage.
CREATING A DEMAND.
Not long ago a lank, elderly man
entered a shop where all. sorts of
drugs and patert medicines are
sold.
"Three weeks ago you sold me a
bottle o1 -Henry's Harmless Hain Re-

counter and addressing one of the
clerks with a fridodly air.
"Certainly. I 'think I remember
you," said the' clerk. "Want an-,

toward the shelves. -
"Noe" said the. friendly man. '9'
