Having a pretty wide correspond. ence and there not being any postal delivery in the village, the lady at the hall took a bundle of letters to ‘the church on the Sunday evening and | gave them to the churchward- en, thinking he would be able to|'’ get them sent to the Doncaster post- office. He, not catching what she had said abont them, came to the con. clusion that they were something for him to distribute in the shtertts: The lady took her seat at the organ.. Then the churchwarden commenced to take them from pew to pew as far as they would go. One young person, looking at hers, said fo him that it was a stamped letter and did not belong to her. He said: ‘‘Hold thee noise and put it in thee pocket and read it when thee gets home. There’s something in it that wil! dc thee good.’’—Pearson's | . Weekly. . The Nuscles of the Hand, In the palm of the hand, and be: tween the metacarpal bones, there are small muscles (lumbricales and interossei) which perform the finer motions—expanding the fingers and moving them in every direction }. with quickness and delicacy. These} extremities of the bones of the fin- gers where they form the first joint, being inserted near the center of | motion, move the ends of the fingers with very great velocity. They are the organs which give the hand the power of spinning, weaving, engrav- ing, and as they produce the quivk “1 of of the musician's’ fingers, | they are called by the anatomists fidicinales. The combined strength of all the muscles, in grasping, must’ be very great; indeed, the power is |. exhibited when we see a sailor hang- ing by a rope and raising his whole body with one arm.. What, then, must he the pressure upon the hand? It. would be too much for the tex- ture even of bones and tendons, and certainly for the blood vessels and | hands, the inside of the fingers and their lips guarded by cushions. ..To add to this purely passive defense there isa muscle which runs across ports the cushion on the inner edge; it acts powerfully as we grasp, and |, it is this muscle which, raising the edge of the palm, hollows it, and adapts it to lave water, forming the sap of Diogenes.—Cincinnati En. quirer. .
