When you buy sugar you pay lees per pound when you buy
it by the dollar’s worth. You pay still less per pound when you
buy it by the hundred-pound sack or by the barrel.
The same is true of the manufacturer and the merchant.
The larger quantities of anything that he can buy the lees he
has to puy for it. It costs him less to handle it in large quan­
tities then in smell Iota It costs leas per pound to ship a solid
carload than it does to ship e carload in separate shipments of
100 pounes each. Just ss it coats you less to buy a hundred
pounds of sugar at one time then it would to buy e hundred
pounds a quarter’s worth at a time. Lees in money. Lees in

The manufacturer end merchant who advertise are enabled
to buy end to sell in larger quantities. By doing a “quantity”
business they cut expenses end sewe waste on every hand. They

THE
HEART AFTER
DEATH.
The question, “Why does n man
or an animal die ?” lias been answer­
ed. “Because the heart stops beat­
ing.” But any hunter or fisherman
who has dressed his owji catch can
testify to the fact that the heart
does not stop beating at the mo­
ment of the animal’s death. Often
it will contitfue to pulsate rhyth­
mically for several minutes after it
has been removed from the carcass.
The most recent answer to the
“Why?” of this is that the heart
póseles themselves possess the in­
herent quality of contraction and
will contract or beat just as soon or
as long as the conditions of environ­
ment are right. That is their busi­
ness, and they can no more refrain
from doing it "under the right con­
ditions than a rose could help giv-
ing out its fragrance.
In recent experiments it haa been
found that heat is the principal ele­
ment necessary to the development
t f the heart muscles and their sub­
sequent action. It is possible to
ow the heart muscles of a ’warm
B ooded
animal in an incubator.
During this growth a single muscle
cell has been observed to develop
and wander away from the mother
cell and begin to beat of its own
accord. Aeain. several individual
cells may attach themselves to each
other in a colony and beat rhyth­
mically together as long as the en­
vironment is favorable.
But let the temperature of the
ineubator be materially reduced and
the action of the heart muscles he-
comes sluggish. Reduce the tem­
perature still further and gradually
the rhythmic action ceases altogeth­
er. The cells cease to perform their
natural function because their en­
vironment is no longer right In
other words, they die because they
According to this theory, the
heart muscles could live on inde­
pendently of a body if kept at
the proper temperature for their
beet development.—Popular Science

A Chin..a Epicure.
“The cooks of today.” wrote Tuan
Mel, a Chinese author of the nine­
teenth century, “think nothing of
mixing in one soup the meat of
chicken, dnek, pig and goose. Bui
these chickens, ducks, pigs and geese
have doubtless souls, and these souls

Each article of food will be made
to exhibit its own characteristics,
while each made dish will be charac­

Then the palate of the gourmand
will respond without freak and the
flowers of the soul blossom forth.”
Musio In Japan.
Music as an art has little stand­
ing in Japan. It is left almost en­
tirely to women, who cultivate it to
the extent of playing on a guitar­
like instrument called the samisen.
“In the not very remote past,” says
the writer, “no gentleman could
reconcile the practice of music with
masculine dignity, and this state of
affairs is changing hut slowly.”
