Man as a Factory.
BY PROFESSOR PHUNPHULL.

A professor of chemistry. in a
treatise on food, has just made a
disclosure which will startle and
shock the entire country. He
says:
"When we pour milk into a cup
Of coffee or tea, the albumen Of
the milk and the tannin of the tea
instantly unite and form leather,
or minute fakes of the same COM
pound which is produced in the
texture of the tanned hide, and
which makes it leather as distin-
-guished from the original-skin. In
the course of q year tea drinker
of average habits will have imbibed
leather enough for pair of shoes
if it could be put in proper shape
for the purpose.
This is doubtless entirely true,
but it stops far short of the truth.
We drink, every one of us, pair
of boots q year, but observe how
much else we devour:
We carry iron enough in our
blood constantly to make a horse
shoe.
We have enough argillaceous
earth in our mortal frame to make,
if properly separated and baked,
dozen good sized bricks.
We proverbially eat q peck OF
dirt year.
An eagerly pisciverous person
especially if he live almost exclu-
sively on Goldfish balls devours
PHOSPHORUS and birthstone enough
to make a twenty-five cent box of
matches (stamped) every week, if
not more.
The man who carelessly tips a
glass of lager into his stomach sell
,Iom INDUCES in the solemn refec-
ton that he has begun the manu-
facture of . hat; yet such is the
case. The malt of the beer and
the chyle of the stomach instantly
unite and form felt, or minute
flakes of the same compound seen
so often in the hat-factories. But
there is no internal blocking, and,
not being Immediately utilized, the
material ia lost forever-or at
least until it returns in some more
eligible form.
Still further: It ia estimated
that the bones of every adult re-
quire to be fed with lime enough
to make marble mantle every
eight months.
Our mathematicians have been
at work on the above suggestive
facts, and have found that the
stomach of every tramp contains
in three-score years and ten the
following awe-inspiring aggregate
of articles in a crude form:
Mems shoes, 20 years, at l
pair per year, 10 pairs.
Horse-shoes, 70years, l pr.
per month, as our arterl-
al system renews its
blood every full moon, $40 shoes.
Bricks, IL every 7 years, 100 bricks.
Hats, not less that IA
wear. $50 hats.
Matches Counting bis
sextile or leap year, $500 boxes.

Several of our citizens enjoyed little hand
car riding west of the depot last Saturday. A
greater portion of the ride was through water
and over sticks and rubbish which had been
gathered upon the rails by the current Every
moment the uninitiated hand-car travellers ex-
pected to be plunged into the fifteen feet OF
water lining either side of the track. Luckily
the car kept the track all right. The travellers.
however, were compelled to fish or cut bait -
In other words, they had TO work or tumble
Of. Most of the fellows, of course would have
preferred tumbling off rather than work, had
it not been for the necessity of their alighting
in water ; bat their peculiar aversion to water
kept them vigorously at work at the motive
power of the car. Boss" Orvis seemed TO
delight in the writings and contortions of
these toiling, patient sight-seers.

Crystal Wedd ing. Several families were in

bride Of fifteen years. Wehad a splendid good
time; all seemed TO enjoy themselves
The first part of the evening was passed with
chatting and music, singing and playing on
the organ and also few beautiful pieces from
the Gypsum creek brass band. st II o'clock
an elegantly prepared supper was passed
around, and that was enjoyed hugely. After
supper we had a little dance; the night being
dark and rainy we killed time very nicely

Messrs. A. j. Schwartz & Bro, are now
prepared to take orders for the well known
Walter A. Wood machines, consisting of a
full line of mowers, reapers, harvesters and
the Locke Binder-the only successful one in
the field. This firm sold five of the latter ma
chimes last year, and the purchasers were ex-
ceedingly well pleased with them. Schwartz
& Bro. have harvester and binder on exhibi-
ton at their store, where they hope farmers
will call and inspect them. The harvester and
binder spoken of are most wonderful machines.
The testimony of 'many witnesses" from all
parts of the country is that they are not only
durable, but not liable to get out OF repair,
and are far preferable to any other harveSters
and binders in the market. Messrs. Schwartz
& Bro. will take special pains to exhibit the
good points of all the machines they sell.

Tremendously big FISH stories were told after

A man by the name of Simmerson was
drowned in a creek or ravine ten miles north
west of Salina, last Friday. on the farm
of Mr. L. T.. Marks. He was attempting
20 reach his residence, which was separated
from him only by this creek or ravine filled
with water. He went down. and his body was
not recovered until the following day. He was
buried last Sunday. He arrived from Mary
land but short time ago. He leaves large
family. He was n lessee Of Mr.. Marks farm
From Mr. Marks we learn further particu-
lars: Mr.. SimmersOn left Mr.. Srack's farm
about ? O'Clock Friday afternoon. swan the
Saline river and Garyer's branch, and stopped
at Mr. Solomon Smiths house. Mr.. Smith
endeavored TO persuade Mr.. Smmersom 10 re-
main all night; but the latter objected saying
that lie could go home without trouble. and
wished 10 be homo that night. When he
reached the creek he threw his boots to the
further bank, and commenced swimming
across. His wife ana Mr.. Gloss were stand
ing in the yard, watching his movements. The
creek was about 30 feet in width. Soon after
entering the stream it is supposed he was
taken with crarnp, for he suddenly disappeared
after giving three loud shrieks. Mr.. Gloss,
when he reached the edge of the bank, saw on
ly Simmerson's hat floating away. Simmerson
was formerly soldier IN thp regular army.
