. ' 1 ; Heat in the Body. An Important source of heat in the body is due to the friction of the blood as it circulates in its vessels. All of this resistance, which is overcome by the heart, is transformed directly into heat. We may calculate the amount approximately. If we suppose that JSC ccs. of blood are expelled from the left ventricle at each stroke, under a pressure of one third of an atmosphere, this would correspond to .6192 kilogrammemetres at each stroke, and at 72 strokes a minrte, this would give 44..1124 kilogramiheiuetres per minute. If we suppose that the right heart does one-quarter the work of the left, or about 10 kilogramme-metres per minute, wt have for the total work per minute 54.312 kilogramme-metres. which cor responds to 128 calories i?er minute. This is perhaps a rather high estimate for ordinary conditions, but where the heart is forced to puinp a much larger quantity of blood in order to maintain the normal temperature, this estimate is probably much exceeded at times. Since this friction takes place largely in the most constricted portions of the circulation, it would be natural to expect that the blood which had been driven through the capillary system of a gland would issue much warmer than It entered, and such we find to be the case. Thus the blood of the hepatic vein has been observed to be 40.73. while that in the right heart was 37.7. In the muscles no contrac tion can take place without an increased flow of blood through them with a simultaneous constriction of the capillaries, which would naturally give rise to a considerable production of heat?a fact constautiy observed.?San. itarian.

He Raises Practically Everything He Needs Himself at Home. The Greenville Newt says there is one farmer in Greenville Connty (and doubtless many more) who has never bought Western meat and Western flour. There is little that this farmer and his family consume that is not raised at home. Not even does his fable rice come from Georgetown or Beaufort It is a Greenville county product, and it is said that the lowcountry rice is not superior to it This gentleman makes his own syrup. He makes his ow n oats and barley, aud be prodncen a large number of ba'es of cotton. The horses and males that he works are natives to his farm. He has been known to saw timber from his own forest and send it to a factory, getting a part of it back in the form of furniture. This farmer is not a great |K>htician. He is not even a free silver man. He reads the newspapers carefully. He is not dependent, bat he is a very busy man. He is so poor that he rarely has a day to spend away from his own large plantation uf plantations. He is on his farm with tbe regularity that a cashier is at his desk in a bank and as many days in the year and as miny hours in the day. There are farmers who are able to indulge in more leisure than is this Irreenville farmer, bat in other respects they are poorer than he is. WANT PROHIBITION. Governor Ellerbe's Ballot of tht Ministers. Since Governor Ellerbe issued his circular to the preachers, asking theii views as to what was best to b< done with the liquor problem, his mail has been quite heavy with replies. Up to date he has gotten something over 600. From a cursory examination of on< hundred replies a majority favor prohibition, while the rest think the dispensary the best solution. Rev. James Heatherly, of Greeenville, writes that in that county it is hard to hold church meetings on aecount of the number of stills, and close* by emphatically saying "I say prohibition." He estimates the increase in drunkenness, since the beginning of the dispensary, rt 100 per cent Another one writes: "For the Lord's sake, Governor, don't give us no high license nor dispensary; give us prohibition. " It was a foregone conclusion when the circnlars were issued that prohibition wonld receive the majority, bnt no doubt the Governor got some valuable ideas from the views of the ministers. D. A. R. Convention. The State regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Mrs. Bacon, of Edgefield, has called a State convention of the order to meet in Columbia on Wednesday, November 10, Fair Week. Among the many important matters to be discussed at the State convention will be the erection of a monument to Generals Marion, Sumter and Pickens. This matter has been under consideration for some time, but is now taking definite shape. It is probable that plans will be formulated at tbe State convention for the consummation ol the idea. \ BtvfattrWnfliSirt' j sxa&ftla " !?!Fa;nifii| ' ?

"That is a text which has for a long time ! been running through my mind. Sermons j have a time to bo bom, as well as a time to j die; a cradle as well as a grave. David, eowboy and stone-slinger. and fighter and czar, and dramatist and blank verse writer, and prophet, did his best for the people of his time, aud theu went and lay down on the southern hill of Jerusalem in that sound slumber which nothing but an archangelie blast can startle. There are about four ) generations to a century, now: but in oldentime life was longer, and there was, per- j haps, only one generation to a century, i Taking these facts into the calculation, I j make a rough guess and say that there ; have been at least ISO generations of the human family. With reference to them we 1 have no responsibility. We cannot teach j them, we cannot correct their mistakes, we cannot soothe theirsorrows, we cannot heal their wounds. "I admit that I am in sympathy wltk the child whose father ha l suddenly died, and j who. in her little evening prayer, wanted to continue to pray for her father, although 1 he had gone into heaven and no more needed her prayers, and looking up into j i her another's face, said: 'Oh, mother, I enaait Inva him all out. Lot me say, j "Thank Go 1 that I had a good father once, i sol can keep him in my prayers."' But | the ISO generations have pa-se~d off. Passed : j u;>. Passed down. Gone forever. Then ! I there are generations to come after our i earthly existence has cease J; we shall not see them; w.> shall not hear any of their va!c we will take no part in their convocations, their elections, their revolutions, | their catastrophes, their triumphs, We will in nowise affect the 180 generations gone or the 130 generations to come. But ! our business is, like David, to servo our own generation; the people now living, those whose lungs now breathe and whose hearts now beat. And, mark you, It Is not I a silent procession, but moving. It is a 'for'el march," at twenty-four miles a day, each hour being a milo." Going with that celerity, it has got to be a quick service on 1 our pari or no service at all. "Well. now. let us look around earnestly, prayerfully, in a common-senss way, and see what we can do for our generation. First of all, let us see to it that, as far as we can, they have enough to eat. The human body is so constituted that three times a day a body needs food as much as a lamp needs oil, as much as a locomotive needs fael. To meet this want God has girdled the earth with apple orchards, orange groves, wheat fields, and oceans full of Ash, and prairies full of cattle. And notwithstanding this, I will undertake to say that the vast majority of the human family are suffering either"for lack of food or the right kind of food. Our civilization is all askew, and God only can set it right. Many of the greatest estates of today have been built out of the blood and bones of uniequited toil. "Don't sit down at your table with Ave or j six courses of abundant supply and think nothing of that family in the next street | who would take any one of these five courses between soup and almond nuts and feel they were in heaven. The lack of the right kind of food is the cause of much of the drunkenness. After drinking what many of our grocers call coffee, sweetened with what many cail sugar, and eating what many of our butchers call meat, and chowiug what many of our bakers call bread, many of the laboring classes feel so miserable they are tempted to put into their nasty pipes what the tobacconist calls tobacco, or go into the drinking saloons for what the rumsellers call beer. Good coffee would do much in driving out rum. "How can we serve our generation with enough to eat?" By sitting down in embroidered slippers and lonnging back in an | arm chair, our mouth puckered up around a Havana of the best brand, and through cionds of luxuriant smoke reading about political economy and the philosophy of strikes? No! No! By flnding oat who in j this city bas been living on gristle, and sending them a tenderloin beefsteak." Seek out some family who, through sickness or conjunction of misfortune, have not enough to cat, and do for them what Christ did for the hungry multitudes of Asia Minor, multiplying the loaves and the flshes. Let us u -??!??/ r\9 Aitpcalvoa until nra 4UIL mo Minnuu^ \jl vuijuuvj UUV.. nv . cannot choke down another crumb of cake, and begin the supply of others' necessities. "It is an awful thing to be hungry," said the preacher. "It is an easy thing for us to be in good humor with all the world when we have no lack. But let banger take full possession of us, and we would all turn into barbarians and cannibals and llends. Suppose that some of the energy we are expending in useless and unavailing talk about the bread question should be expended in merciful alleviations. I have read that the battlefield on which more troops met than on any other in the world's history was the battlefield of Leipsic?160,000 men under Napoleon; 230.000 men under 8chwarzeberg. No! No! The greatest and most terriflc battle Is now being fought all the world over. It is the struggle tor food. The ground tone of the finest passage in one of the great musical masterpieces, the arti3t says, was suggested to him by the cry of the hungry populace of Vienna, as the King rode through and they shouted: 'Bread! Give us bread!' And all through the great harmonies of musical academy and cathedral I hear tho the pathos, the ground tone, the tragedy of unconnted multitudes, who, with streaming eyes and wan cheeks and broken hearts, in behalf of themselves and their families, are pleading for bread. "Let us take another look around to see how we may serve our generation. Let us see, as lar as possiDie, mat ucy uaia enough to wear." The preacher dilated upon the corse of drunkenness and idleness, causing the maelstrom that has swallowed down the livelihood of those who are in rage. Bat things will change, and by generosity on the part of the crowded wardrobes, and in* dnstry and sobriety on the party of the empty wardrobes, there will be enough for all to wear. "God has done His part toward the dressing of the human race. He grows a surplus of wool on the sheep's back, and flocks roam the mountains and valleys with a burden of warmth, intended for transference to human comfort when the shuttles of the factories reaching all the way from Chattahoochee to the Merrimac, shall have spun and woven it. In white letters of snowy fleece God has been writing for a thousand years His wish that there might be warmth for all nations. While others are discussing the effect of higfl or low tariff, or no tariff at all on wool, you and I had better see if in our wardrobo we have nothing that we can spare for the shivering, or pick out some poor lad of the street and take him down to a clothing store and lit him ont for the winter. "Again, let us look around and sec how we may serve our generation. What shortsighted mortals we would be if we were anxious to clothe and feed only the most insignificant part of a man, namely, his body, while we put forth no effort to clothe and feed and save his soul. "We pat a halo about the people of the past, but I think if the times demanded them it would be found we have now living in this year,'1897, fifty Martin Lathers, fifty George Washington, fifty Lady Huntingdon, fifty Elizabeth Frys. During our Civil War more splendid warriors in North and 8outh were developed in four years than the whole world developed in the previous twenty years. I challenge the four . ' "V ? ''' :' v fH thousand years before the flood and tho eighteen centuries after the flood to show me the equal of charity, on a large scale, of George Peabody. Thi < generation of men and women Is more worth saving than * any one of the one hundred and eighty generations that have passed off. - V^B "How to get saved? Be willing to accept Christ, and then accept Him instantaneously and forever. Get on the rock first, and then you will be able to help others upon the same rock. "I confess to you that my one wish is to se.rve this generation, not to antagonize it, not to damage it, not to rule it, but to serve it. I would like to do something toward helping unstrap its load, to stop its tears, to balsam its wounds, and to induce it to put foot on the upward road that has at its terminus acclamation rapturous, and gates pearly, and garlands amaranthine, and * fountains rainbowed, and dominions enthroned and coroneted. for I cannot forget that lullaby in the closing words of my text: 'David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep.* What a lovely sleep It was! Unflllal AbasIrtm nAf trAiiKln It imMtfono % /I Aniiah (lid not worry it. Persecuting Saul ilid not harrow it. Exile did not fill it with nightmare. Since a red-headed boy, anid his father's flocks at night, he had not had snch a good sleep. At seventy years of ago he lay down to it. He had had many a troubled sleep, as in his caverns of Adullam. or in the palace at the time bis enemies were attempting uis capture. But this was a peaceful sleep, a calm sleep, a restful sleep, a glorious sleep. 'After he had served his generation by the will of God, he fell on sleep.' ' "Oh. what a good thing is sleep after a hard day's work! It takes all the aching out of the head, and all the weariness out of the limbs, and all the smarting out of the eyes. From It we rise in the morning, and it is a new world. And if we, like David, serve our generation, we will at life's close have most desirable and refreshing sleep. In it will vanish our last fatigue of body, our last worrimcnt of mind, our last sorrow of soul. To the Christian's body that wis hot with raging fevers, so that the attendants must by sheer force keep on the blankets, it will be the cool sleep. To those who J are thin-blooded and shivering with agues, it will be the warm sleep. To those who, because of physical disorders, wore terrified with night visions, it will be to the dream- ' less sleep. To nurses and doctors and IDOltierS WHO were ?a?uci aiuiV3i oici; P hour of the night by those to whom they ministered, or over whom they watohed, it v will be the undisturbed sleep. To those who could not get to bed till late at night, and must rise early in the morning, and before getting rested, it will be the long sleep. "Away with all your gloomy talk about V'' departing from this world! If we have served our generation it will not be putting out into the breakers; it will not be 4 the light with the King of Terrors; it will be going to sleep. A friend, writing me > from Illinois, says that Rev. Dr. Wingate, President of Wake Forest College, North "< Carolina, after a most useful life, found his last day on earth his happiest day, and that in his last moments be eemed to be personally talking with Christ, as friend with friend, saying: 'Oh, how delightful * it is! I knew you would be with me when | the time came, and I knew it would be sweet, but I did not know it would be as ? sweet as it is.' The fact was, he had ? served his generation in the gospel mln- Ay istry, and by the will of Ood he fell asleep. A When in Africa, Majwara, the servant, ^ looked into the tent of David Livingstone, ^ and found him on his knees, be stepped hi*'.- not vrlshlnir to disturb him in nraver. and some time after went in and fonnd :i him in theaame posture, and stopped baok again; hut after awhile, went in and touched him, and, lo! the great traveler had finished his last journey, and he had died in the grandest and mightiest posture a man ever takes?on his knees. He had served his generation by unrolling the - ^ scroll of a continent, and by the will of God fell on sleep. In the museum of Greenwich, England, there is a fragment . J of a book that was found on the arctto regions, amid the relics of Sir John Frank- g 1 in, who bad perished amid the snow and ice, and the leaf of that piece of a book was turned down at the words: "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee.' Having served his generation . *. in the cause of science and discovery, by .Sgj the will of God ho fell on sleep. ' Why will you keep us all so nervons talking about that which is only a dormitory and a pillowed slumber, cunopled by angels' wings? Sleep. Transporting sleep! And what a glorious awakening? t You and I hare sometimes been thoroughly bewildered after a long and fatiguing journey; we have stopped at a friend's house "for the niarht. and after hours of . v complete unconsciousness we have opened our eyes, the high-risen sun full in oar faces, and before we could fully collect our faculties, have said: 'Where am I; whose ' V*2 house is this, and whose are these gardens?' And, then, it has flashed upon as da in glad reality. ' And I should not wonder if, after we ? have served our generation, and. by the will of God, have fallen on sleep, the deep sleep, the restful sleep, we should awaken in blissful bewilderment, and for a little ' J while say: 'Where nm I? What palaoe is this? Why, this looks like heaven! It is; it is. Why, there is a building grander than all the castles of earth heaved into amoun- . tain of splendor?that roust be the palace 4 of Jesus. And look there; at those walls , , lined with foliage more beautiful than anything I ever saw before, and see those who * are walking down those aisles of verdure. From what I have heard of them those two walking arm in arm must be M< a -s and > Joshua, him of Mount Sinai and he of the halting sun over Gibeon. And those two walking arm in arm must be John and Paul, the one so gentle and the other so mighty. " 'But I must not look any longer at those gardens of beauty, but examine thit building in which I have just awakened. I look out of the window this way aud that, and up and down, and I And it is a 1 mansion of immense size in which I am stopping. All its windows of agate and its colonnades of porphyry and alabaster. J Why, I wonder if this is not the "House of many Mansions" of which I used to read? It is; it is. There must bo many of my kindred aud friends in this very mansion. Hark! Whose are those voices? Whose are *kKann/llne ftxafi T nnun thA Hrwtr anA IUVOO MVUUUiU^ 4VV?. A V.J . . see, and lo! they ore coming through all the corridors and up and down all the ? stairs, our long-absent kindred. Why, i there is father, there is mother, there are the children. All well again. All young .i, again. All of us together again. And as we embrace each other with the cry, "Never more to part; never more to part," the V | arches, the alcoves, the hallways, echo and , re-echo the words, "Never more to part; f never more to part!" Then our glorified friends say: "Come out with us and see heaven." And, some of them bounding ahead of us and some of them skipping beside us, we start down the ivory stairway. And we meet, coming up, one of the Kings of ancient Israel, somewhat small of stature, but having a countenance radiant with a thousand victories.
