DANGER OF FATIGUE.
It Generates a Poison In the System That
Is Deadly In Its Nut-ire.
"He never loses a moinsut," used to
bs thought au unqualified compliment.
Tfow we are not quite so sure that it
nays much for the wisdom of him to
whom it is applied. From many different directions comes the testimony that
too much activity is loss instead of gain,
since overfatigue poisons the physical
system.
An analysis has been made of the
poison engendered by fatigue, and it
has been found to be similar to the ancient vegetftblc poison, enrari, into
which the Indians used to dip their arrows, and a most deadly poison it was.
The poison of fatigue is of the same
chemical nature and is a3 truly deadly
if it is created more rapidly than the
blood can carry it off. There is no
known antidote for this poison, and its
dangers beset alike the pleasure seeker
and the worker.
An Italian physician recently examined 24 bicycle riders after they had
ridden 32 miles iu 2J£ hours. It was
fouud that in nearly every instance the
nervous Bystcn-, was so far nffected by
fatigue that tbe hearing of tho cyclists
was defective. After a rest of two hours
most of them could hear as well as ever.
Another practical test was made upon
50 grammar school children who were
to take part in a written examination of
2}£ hours. Before entering upon the
strain which such an examination must
necessarily bo each child was instructed
to lift as much as he could with the
dynamometer. This was done to test the
muscular strength of each pupil before
the examination.
After the work in the schpolrporri was
ended the children, werg figaiii told to
]ift as much ' ps possible in the same
\vay. It was found that, with one or
two exceptions, they could not lift as
much by several pounds as they had
lifted before the examination.
It is now a demonstrated fact that
prolonged mental strain will diminish
the pulse, produce fullness ,aud heaviness of the head and bring about palpitation of the heart.—Youth's Companion.
THE HEART AND THE BLOOD.
Views of Scientists Who. Differ With Harvey's Theory on Their Relations.
pp you know that somo of the very
best physicians in tho land are far from
being satisfied that the heart is the organ which causes the blood to circulate
in tho veins and arteries? Tlio theory of
Harvey, which maintains that tho impulsive stroke of the heart is "the sole
motive power," is disputed by persons
who know more about blood circulation
in a minute than he over did in his lifo.
Various causes for the phenomena of
blood circulation are assigned by the
different students of tho subject, but
the majority of those who differ from
Harvey say that the true cause of circulation is to bo found in respiration.
That function brings carbon into the
lungs. This carbon mixes with the
venous blood, tho mixture forming the
true fuel of animal life. The oxygen
which is also taken into the lungs with
every breath mingles with the carbon,
and a slow form of combustion ensues.
Wherever combustion is going on heat
is evolved. In this case the heat is communicated to the blood, which is about
seven-eighths water.
The lungs being in partial vacuo and
having a temperature of at least 35 degrees above that required to change water into vapor (when the water in question is in it complete vacuum), steam is
generated. This enlarges tlie Volume pf
the blood find exerts "a specific force.
The valves on the right side of the heart
close against this force, whilo those on
the left open to give it free passage.
Thus, according to this theory, the true
motive power is produced wliich first
causes and then keeps up the circulation
of the blood.
When this theory is elaborated, it is
very conclusively proved that the heart
has nothing whatever to do with the
circulation of the blood bnt to deter
mine, by its valves, the course of the
current and, by the mechanical force
of tlio-stroke, to equalize the flow.—St.
Louis Republic.

An island iu the gulf of Californiu is
inhabited by queer human beings. The
Ceris, without doubt, aro one of the
most interesting tribes of aborigines tp
be found on this hemisphere. They are
said to have fair skins aud blue eyes
and bear no resemblance whatever to
the Indian tribes of the mainland cr of
the peninsula. In former days they
made excursions upon tho mainland,
spreading havoc along tho coast, but in
later years they have kept closely to
their island home. They are extremely
fierce and warlike aud nse venomed arrows in fighting. The island is known
to be very mountainous, with innumerable rugged canyons and gorges, where
the Indians ambush and whicli renders
subduing them almost au impossibility.
Beyond the fact of the existence of the
Ceris tribe very little is known. Their
habits and language are said to be peculiar to themselves, whilo their origin
is a subject of conjecture. The island
Ehows no sign of sjpgetation from the
gulf, and their method of gaining a subsistence is unknown. Skippers cruising
in those waters carefully avoid this island peopled with blue- eyed savages,
and its rugged outlines, which loom up
in tho gulf, aro shrouded in mystery.—

Profits on New- Fruits.
The profits on new fruits are large, if
they possess merit and are introduced in
q 'businesslikQ way". The estate of the
pi'iginater, pf the Fay currant lias received over §40,000 in royalties from
the introducer, who has doubtless mado
an even larger net profit for himself out
of that delicious fruit. Had Mr. Bull,
the originator of the Concord grape,
shown equal business ability in, selling
it, he might Lave been a millionaire instead of dying iu poverty. The Niagara
grape has made a fortune for its promoters. Many other goodfruits have failed
to pay either the originator or the introducer for want of good business management, fayp American Cultivator.

On the Killing- of African Wive*.
An African chief explained the other
day to me that now the consul was putting down the killing of wives and
slaves at funerals, a chief's life was
not worth Uve minutes' purchase, because a dissatisfied wife or a vindictive
slave would now put poison in his food,
a thing they were less inclined to do
when the danger of being killed themselves at tbe ensuing funeral was before their eyes. It was also told by a
well educated native Christian minister
from the Gold Coast that tho governments were practically preserving vermin in preserving witches. It seems
the Gold Coast witch lives by sucking
the blood of young children.
In old days this was risky for the
witch. Now that the governments say
witchcraft is a silly superstition, and
you must not go out and kill people because of it, the witch, feeling safe,
blackmails and terrorizes over anxious
parents, threatening to suck their children's blood unless they are bought off.
Every one says it is all nonsense, but
unless the witch is bought off the child
w-ithers away and dies, a case of poison
again, perhaps, but both of theso cases
illustrate the strange element of common sense in apparently rank superstitious folly, and save in the inexplicable
trick certain tribes have of killing twin
children, I have always found, in every
Ju-ju superstition, this common sense
element. Whether it cr the superstition
mixed now with it came first into the
negro mind I cannot say, but there it
filways is, and I am sure, even in the
twin case, it is there, and I hope some
day in the Hinterland to find it out.—
