The standard of force produced in hui
man body is based on the estimate of the
number Of tons a person can lift in day
one perpendicular foot. We call these foot
tons. Expressed in this way the vital en-
ergy of a man in his prime averages 5000
foot tons. Unusually strong men might
go as high as 1900, even 5000 This force
has a fixed relation to the food consumed
in the same time If the food were oxi-
died in a laboratory--that is, simply and
actually burnt-it would give by it's heat
the same mechanical equivalent in foot
tons as when it is burned as the bodily It's.
sue which it supplies the waste of.
Different foods are estimated in relation
TO the same foot ton. The waste of a mans
tissue by an amount of labor represented
by 10 foot tons is what one cabbage could
furnish the repair of, for instance One
ounce of carrot could thus stand against
90 foot tons; of milk, against "a foot tons;
of lean meat, against So; of oatmeal, against
1859; of butter, against 2Si, and of fat pork,
against even more than butter. You have
here an indication of the great value of fat
pork to those doing very severe labor; as
the men in winter lumber camps, soldiers
in active service, sailors, and the hke-M.

Come Of the old time lanes of Boston
have suffered loss of character from the
change in their occupancy. Thus Alden's
lane, which was transformed into Alden
street in 1916, was the home Of Capt. John
Alden, who was well known naval com
mander, and had charge OF the province
galley for many years, besides having
served In the Indian and French wars. An
element of romance in his life was his be-
ing accused of witchcraft and effecting his
escape from prison and then being cleared
by proclamation" before the time of trial
During his examination he is said to have
behaved himself manfully. A part of Es-
sex street used to recall the name of an old
time Boston family in Auchmuty's lane.
Two members of this family were distin-
guished at the bar, and one of them assist
ed Adams and Quincy in the defence of
Capt. Preston for his participation In the
Boston massacre"
Spring lane is not one of those names
which is preserved here in Boston today,
but it still retains in its name the charac-
teristic which justifies it, 1t marks the To-
cation of the great spring" which is men
toned In the early records of the town, and
which flowed through Gov. Winthrop's
garden, on the site of which Is the Old
South. The spring still bubbles up under
the postofice, and the water requires to be
pumped out to prevent the premises from
being flooded. Boston Post.

McMillin's Closing Speech.

McMillin made the closing speech
for the Democrats on the tariff bill in
the House. 1t was terrible arraign-
ment of the Republican party for
overriding the constitution and
voting heavy tax on the people for
the benefit of the rich at the expense
of the poorer classes, and rushing the
bill through by caucus rules, without
allowing time to examine and discuss
its merits before passing it. There
were 200 amendments pending that
could not be considered and more
than 100 items in the bill making in
creases In taxes without cause or ex-
PLANTATION. Raw sugar has been
placed on the free list and refined
sugar heavily taxed to enrich the
sugar trust, The taxpayers have
been placed under bondage for fifteen
years to pay bounty of some $780,
100000 to sugar producers.

Allusions to the flight of time often pro

dearest friends. II always liked those

ing the bonnet worn by another. "They
always remind me of our first meeting, six
years ago. They were as becoming to you
then as they are now"
A still more caustic mention of a past
event has served to point at once reproof
and joke.
At certain trial in an English court a
lawyer, named Ribton, addressed the jury
at great length, repeating himself con.
stantly and never giving the slightest sign
of closing his speech. When he had been
pounding away for several hours the judge
interposed, and said;
"Mr Ribton, you have told us that be-
fore"

How to Cook an Egg.

The best way to cook an egg is to place 1t
in a saucepan Of boiling water and then at
once take it off the fire and place it ON the
hearth. The egg will be cooked in from
five to seven minutes, according to the
amount Of water used. We use a three
half pint saucepan for three eggs, and the
cooking process takes about six minutes.
The eggs are evenly cooked into a sort of
creamy consistency, and are much more
pleasant to the palate and more easily di
gested than those boiled in the ordinary
way Albumen coagulates at tcmpera-
ture of 1870 dogs. Fahrenheit. Boiling point
Is much too high for the gradual and proper
cooking of an egg.-New York Telegram.

Among the notable guests at the Consti-

1887 were the Chinese ENJOYS who accom-
panied Count Mitkiewicz to this country

guilty, namely, the wearing his spectacles
in company long enough to read the note.

Gerry trade, and is director in two banks

rattle by. At the first alarm he is off to
the fire like shot. New York Star.
