one pint of air.
A man respires sixteen to twenty

The superficial surface of the lungs

hundred square yards.
The amount of air inspired in 81
hours is ten thousand litres (about
ten thousand quarts).
The amount of oxygen absorbed in
twenty-four hours is five hundred IL

of carbonic acid expired in the same
time, four hundred litres OILS

Two-thirds ofthe oxygen absorbed
in twenty-four hours is absorbed dur
ing the night hours from 6 p. m. to s
a. m.
Three-ffths of the total oarbonic
acid is thrown off in the day time.
The pulmonary surface gives off
one hundred and fifty grammes Of
water daily in the state OF yapor.
An adult must have at least three
hundred and sixty litres Of air an
hour.
The heart sends through the lungs
eight hundred litres of blood hourly

Agriculture the Remedy.

IT, -. ccmmeacement season
pro'a5ly e'osed the school life Of
NEARLY 'nil'ion pupils Graduates
from colleges and high schools were
Numbered by the hundred thousand,
while many more nave closed the
period of study and are about to en-
ter upon their life work, the perplex-
ing question w;.h them is what they
can do 70 corn . hvtn~ and lay the
fornds@on for 2 competence.
Year BY year the problem grows
deeper and more intricate. la every
productive line of labor competition
has filed tie ranks. Wages are re-
duced, opportunities have grown less,
and almost every trade and profess
sion has an army of hangers on
scarcely able to win the necessaries
of Lille from the vocations which they
have chosen. There is, of course,
"room enough at the top in every
calling, but the stop" Is mounting
skyward with every passing year, as
civilization grows, and splendid gen.
ius multiplies at the head of each
avenue Of toll.
1t has been said, and we think
with truth that agriculture still
affords remedy for industrial CON-
petition. True, it is less so than a
decade ago, but the farm offers in
ducements, energy, industry and
education which few vacations do at
the present time Agriculture is in
a process Of change from farming
to fno art. mhe elements of the
soil are being studied from a soien-
tiflc standpoint. Fertilizer is com
ing to be understood. Stock raising,
cattle farming, cotton planting and a
number of other specialties arc being
made productive and profitable. But
better than all, the modern farm in
its management emolumonts call for
| educated men and opens the doors
| wide for all those who have former.
ly sough employment in trade, clerk
ships and learned professions.
Especially is this true of the sons
of wealthy or well-to-do parents, who
| can make free choice Of the business
which they will pursue. The call
then, to the perplexed graduate and
TO the young man everywhere is to
the farm, rather than to those EN-.
ployments which have been styled
"genteep' in distinction from the
more rugged labor of the farm, shop
and forge.-Balttmore Herald.
