THE LIME We EAr.-Dr. Wuks. in his
recent work OF physiology, remarks: "It
Is estimated that the bones of every adult
person required to be fed with lime
enough to make marble mantle every
eight months" 1t will be perceived, there
fore. that In the course of about ten years
each OF us eats about three or four mantel-
piece and few sets Of front-door steps.
And in long life suppose 1t is fair to
estimate that healthy American could
devour the Capitol of Washington, and
perhaps two or three medium sized quar-.
ries besides. IL Is awful to think If the
cons equences If a man should be shut of
from his supply of lime for awhile. aud
then should get loose in cemetery. An
ordinary tombstone would hardly be
enough for lunch for him.-Ndr Adeler.
