WHAT EVERY MAN Is WORTH.
The Chemical Compounds Of an Average
Voter.

An interesting exhibit at the Ma
tional Museum shows thesphysical in
gradients which go to make up the
average man, weighing 154 pounds,
says the American Analyst.
A large glass jar holds the 96 pounds
of water which his body contains. In
other receptacles are three pounds of
white of egg, little less than three
pounds of pure glue-without which
it would be impossihlmz4o keep body
and soul together-4Si pounds of fat,
st pounds OF phosphate of lime, /
pound of carbonate of lime, 3 ounces
of sugar and starch, I ounces CT fluO-
ride of calcium, ounces of phosphate
of magnesia and little ordinary ta-
BILE salt.
Divided up into this primary chem
ical elements the same man is found
to contain 81 pounds of oxygen
enough to take up, under ordinary
atmospheric pressure, the space of a
room 10 feet long, 10 feet wide and 10
feet high. His body also holds Is
pounds Of hydrogen, which under the
same conditions, would occupy some
what more than two such rooms as
that described. To these must be
added 2 pounds and 10 ounces Of nj
trOgen. The carbon in the corpus of
the individual referred to, is repre-
sented by foot cube of coal. 1t
ought to be diamond of the same
size, because the stone is pure carbon,
but the National Museum has moi
such one in its possession. A row
of bottles contain the other elements
going to make up the man. These
are four ounces of chlorine, 81 ounces
Of fluoride, 9 ounces of PHOSPHORUS
81 ounces of birthstone, q ounces O.
potassium, one-tenth Of an ounce O.
iron, 2 Ources of magnesium, and
pounds and l3 ounces of calcium.
Calcium at present market rates, !!
worth $500 an ounce, so that th'
: amount Of it contained in one ordina
ry human body has money value o
, $3.50 Few of cur fellow citizen
, realize that they are worth SO mucl

Good ard Bad Journalism.

bdlJlnlOre Sun.
The fakir style Of Journalism has
become so common of recent years
that many of the younger generation
of readers are acquainted with no
other, and have come to accept it as
the true type. Those who read only
the more sensational of the New
York papers, and kindred publica-
tions elsewhere, for instauee, have
acquired their ideas of newspapers
solely from these Objectionable mod
els, and are consequently incapable Of
forming a sound Judgment either as
to their merits or defects or as to the
standard which,should prevail. Prob
ably very few people ever ask them
selves what the true mission of a
newspaper should be, what field it
should dover and what are its proper
relations to the public. And yet they
might very well make these enquiries
for they concern them just as much
as do the newspapers themselves. II
it be true that the tone of journalism
has been lowered and its objects de
based and perverted, the readers b.
whom and through whom it lives and
has its being are deeply interested il
all efforts to purify and elevate it
The newspaper stands seconds to M
modern agency in its power for goot
or evil. The pulpit and the school dt
not exert a wider, stronger or NOR
permanent influence. 1t reaches ev
cry class which they reach and class
es to which they never come. /
must and does educate, whether i
will or not, and the vital question
that comes home to every thoughtful
man and woman is this Is the aver
age newspaper of the day providing
good or bad education is it helpful
or hurtful to the people who read it
Is it a paper that you are willing T.
take home with you and have you
children read? Is it a text book tina
can be used in helping to train, in
form and strengthen the young?

1t seems from the following which
we take from the Globe Democrat
that the world has been praying un-
grammaticaily for all these years
A party OF gentlemen were the 9TH
er evening discussing literary subjects
when one asked another to point out
the grammatical blunder in the
Lords prayer. IIalf-a-dozcn tried
some thought it lay in the words
(Which art in heaven Others placed
it elsewhere, but not one detected it
in the expression, "For Thine Is the
kingdom, the power and the glory"
To be perfectly correct the word "is"
should be "are, "but people have used
it in the present form so long that
they never think as regarding it as a
blunder. There are teachers who say
such expression is right because it
sounds right, but reverse it and say.
''The Kingdom, the power and glory
is thine" and the fault is soon per-
ceiycd.

rifle range at that moment. To add
to his discomforture, he had also for
gotten the way he had come. and did
not know which way to seek asSis-
tance. His condition was even more
pitiable than that of Robinson CRU
soe-there wasn't even the smallest
apology of a creek in which to lave
his weary, bug-ridden limbs. He
judged, however, that a little shade
would be preferable to the schorching
rays of the sun, so he made his way
with tagging footsteps to a little
clump of trees in the distance. After
an hour of misery, he succeeded In
reaching their welcome shadow--when
horror Of horrors he stumbled on a
party Of young ladies and young men
on picnlcing expedition.
We will draw a veil over the scene
that ensued. 1t beggars description
Robinson, however, by very persua.
sive powers of e-ch, managed tc
calm the fiery intentions of some OF
the young men who seemed to think
his conduct required summary ant
immediate chastisement, and order
was finally restored out of this latter
day chaos. After some seconds of in
discribable confusion, our hero wa
hustled off the scene, and explained
his predicament to the young men
They were slightly amused, but, new
crtheless, succOred our friend, pro
cured him some clothing from tn
village, and Robinson was sent on hi
way very much battered and still I'm
der the influence of the tender car
lavished upon him by the boys,
much sadder but wiser man.
ellis first inquiry on reaching tn
village was for Jones, but that worth
had taken the morning train for part
unknown, and at last accounts wa
still unheard from. Robinson is still
vindictive and pursues him unrelent
ingly.

Bearded Women OF the Future.
London Standard.

LONDON SJiuudru.
A learned German, who has dcvot-
ed himself to the study OF physiology
and allied sciences, makes the rather
startling assertion that mustacf1es
are becoming commoner among wO-
men in the present day than in the
past. He tells that in COnsta ntiDO-
pie among the unveiled women that
are to be met with one out of ten pos
sesses an unmistakable covering OF
down on the upper lip. In the capi-
tai of Spain, again, the proportion of
ladies with this masculine character
istic is said to be quite equal to that
observable on the Golden Horn. An
American medical man states that in
Philadelphia fully three per cent. of
the adult fair sex are similarly adorn-
ed, and probably the proportion
would be still larger, but that many
women take the trouble to eradicate
the unwelcome growth by the appli.
cation of depilatory preparations. Is
this increase in the number of women
with hair on their faces to be regard
ed as sign that the human race Is
improving? Very few men, at all
events, will be disposed to consider
that mustache adds to the charms
of the opposite sex. Englishmen, in
deed, only generation ago, had such
a detestatiOn of mustaches and boards
that the practice of shaving all hair
off the face down to their mutton
chop whiskers was all but universal.
From one extreme our clean.shatcn
fathers plunged into the other, and
boards and mustaches rapidly became
the fashion. The fashion has OF late
years again been modified. Boards
are less common, but the mustache
is cultivated in England as widely as
on the Continent. But why should
the fair sex be visited by this infic-
tion? Some writers on ethnology
hold that the higher races of man.
kind are always the hairier, and Mr..
Mott thinks that in few centuries
men and women will all be clothed
with HAIR. But we do not believe Mr..
Mott; and we certainly do not care
to live to see the day Of bearded
beauty.

The Brookhaven Leader gives these
definitions:
"A few days ago four Brookhaven
gentlemen were asked to write out
of hand definition each Of white
cap. In a few minutes the following
had been dropped into hat;
"a White Cap is one that assists or
sympathizes In night or secret assas-
sinations.
"a White Cap is thief, who would
rob man of his all, an assassin who
would shoot you in the back
and the most underirablc citizen that
could be imposed upon community
"A White Cap Is dangerous com
bination Of Ignorance, prejudice, law
lcssness and perjury, conspirinl

"A White Cap is one who Is diabol

1t Is a law Of good society in China
that young widows never marry
again. WidOwhood Is therefore held
in the highest esteem, and the older
the widow grows the more agreeable
does her position become with the
people. Should she reach 80 years she
may, by applying to the emperor, get
a sum Of money with which to .bhy a
tablet on which is engraved the sum
OF her virtues. The tablet is placed
over the principul entrance to her
house.

A Correction.

In the issue of The Meas of April IS,
1898, in giving an account Of an at
tempted suicide made by an Army Officer
at the Mt. Vernon Hotel in Baltimore, Il
was stated that James c. Kerr, another
army officer, came to the hotel in com
pany with the unfortunate army officer
above referred to and that the two drank
heavily while there.
It subsequently appeared that the
James c. Kerr mentioned in this state
ment is the Rev. James c Kerr, a clergy
man of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
and a Chaplain in the U S. Army. .
Since the publication referred t9f The
Meas has ascertained that the statement
therein made in reference to Mr.. Kerr is
he neither came to The hotel IN company
with the unfortunate army ofliger referred
to, nor drank while there, and3indeed that
Mr.. Kerr did not see the osscer referred
Ia at the hotel, had meyer seen him at
