OUR BODIES.
How Made and How They Should be
Clothed.


Clothed.
All animals eat, drink, breathe, and
the higher orders, those endowed with
brains, sleep. Man stands the high.
est in the scale, being elassed with the
mammalia, which 'bring forth living
Young and arr warm blooded. The
whale is aLo of this class, breathing
the 900 air that man docs, besides
Ing both viyiparous and warm blood
ed, in all which respects he is unlike
the fish. Another ai-i;--eefye feature
of tn -----'-IHoilst IS tins; Their heads
are all united TO their bodies bv
vertebral column consisting OF ss.,e,
bones, whether tho distance is meas,
ured by feet, as in the giraffe, or bY
inches, as in the rpale. r.iu outer
suriace in man is made Of small scales
which are continually washing and
rubbing Of, and as continually repro
ducing; in this scaly SUFFICE ike
ness to the fish may be seen. In an
atomioal structure great similarity
to man is found in the hog. and in
general appearance, size and location,
the internal organs Of the latter may
be considered a CODY of tho former
gTeStion r. oran aE "a hqfKssTiaF largest, in
fact, found in the animal kingdom in
proportion to the size Of the body to
which it belongs as class.
The human integument is double;
the outcr layer is termed the cuticle,
the inner the true skin The former
may be raised by blister, which is a
life process, as dead flesh may be
burned bot never blistered. 1t IS
without feeling, has few points Of in
terest, and may DO considered as a
shield simply for the tTue skin under
meath. Tho latter is SO abunasntiy
supplied With miapte nerves and blood
vessels that we can hardly insert a
needle anywhere on the body without
drawing blood and feeling pain. The
constituencies of the skin is early taught
the. child by the mothers hand, and
the masters ferule often keeps up the
recollection. The true skin serves as
soil FOR tho growth of the hairs,
near the roots Of which are oil glands
which give the hairs a gioSsy coating
by their secretion. The hairs are
much like corn stalks, with hard ex-
terror and pithy inside. The cotoring
matter is deposited in the latter IL

Grayness arises by degrees gencrally
but cases arc known where the hair Of
the head has been blanched completely
in a single,snight or other space Of
