No Court PrOsecutes an Innocent.
Rev. T. c. Hall, of Chicago loomed up
in the middle aisle and his appearance
evoked storm of applause which showed
that the Briggs element in the assembly
was by no means an inconsiderable one.
"Precedents and practices in civil
courts, his clear voice rang out like
bugle, have no weight with us. No
court would have taken up the prOsecu-
tion of an innocent man. Applause
Ecclesiastical preced ents are overwhelm.

Nothing to Hold Back.
DR.. Young, concluding the discussion,
which was cut short by the arrival Of
the hour of consideration Of special
order, although efforts were made to
continue it for a quarter of an hour,
stated that the committee had no zeal in
this matter, unless it was for consistency
on the part of the general assembly
1--WE are in favor of giving the commit
tee all the light upon the subject possi
Bile. We have nothing to hold back
We have no fear Of the final result.
Give what may be called the weaker side,
if you please, the benefit of all the doubt
in the premises" The recommendation
of the committee as to the disposition of
the overtures was then adopted by de.
cisive vote in the majority.

Hundreds of Male Immigrants Get Into

WASHINGTON, May 28-The fact that
perhaps 800 sailors deserted from the

without paying the head tax exacted of
immigrants or undergoing an examina-

has disclosed the fact that such practices

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The War De-
partment has promulgated a new set Of
rules for the guidance Of medical officers
engaged in recruiting service. Hereto
fore there has been some laxity in the
medical examination of recruits and it
has happened that men have been dis.
charged as soon as they reached their
regiments because of physical disability,
The new rules are intended to secure
the most severe scrutiny of the recruits
both before enlistment and again before
they are assigned and forwarded to
regiments, thus saving the government
some expense.

What Every Man is Worth.


An interesting exhibit at the Ma
tional Museum shows the physical in
gradients which go to make up the
average man, weighing 154 pounds,
says the American Analyst. A large
glass jar holds the ninety-six pounds
of water which his body contains. In
other receptacles are three pounds of
white of egg, little less than ten
pounds of pure glue-without which
it would be impossible to keep body
and soul together-43I pounds of fat,
ST pounds of phosphate of lime, one
po md of carbonate of lime, three
ounces of sugar and starch, seven
ounces of flouride of calcium, six
ounces of phosphate of magnesia and
little ordinary table salt. Divided
up into his primary chemical clements
the. same man is found to contain
ninety-seven pounds of oxygen
enough to take up, under ordinary at
mospheric pressure, the space of
room ten feet long, ten feet wide and
ten feet high. His body also holds
fifteen pounds of hydrogen, which, ,un-
der the same conditions, would occupy
somewhat more than two such rooms
as that described. To these must be
added three pounds and thirteen
ounces of nitrogen. The carbon in
the corpus of the individual referred
to Is represented by foot cube of
coal. 1t ought to be a diamond ofthe
same size, because the stone is pure
carbon, but the National Museum has
not such one in its possession. A
row of bottles contain the other ele-
ments going to make up the man.
These are four ounces of chlorine, 3!
ounces of hourine, eight ounces of
phosphorus, 3! ounces of birthstone,
% ounces of sodium, % ounces of po-
tassium, 1-10 of an ounce of iron, two
ounces of magnesium and three pounds
and thirteen ounces of calcium. Cal
cium, at present market rates, is
worth 5000 an ounce, so that the
amount of it contained in one human
body has money value of SlS,3O0.
Few of our fellow citizens realize that
they are worth so much intrinsically.

The Oldest Trees,

The Soma cypress of Lombardy is, I
believe, the oldest tree of which there
is any authentic record. 1t is known
TO have been in existence in 40 b. G.
There are, however, many trees for
which vastly greater antiquity is
claimed. The Senegal baobabs-s
IF them-are said to be 5000 years old.
The bo tree of Anuradhapura, in
Ceylon, is perhaps the oldest specimen
Of another very long-lived species; it
is held sacred upon the ground that
it sprang from branch of the iden-
hcal tree under which Buddha reclined
for seven years while undergoing his
apotheosis. This oak is well known
to be long liver, and there are speci-
mems still standing in Palestine, Of
which the tradition goes that they
grew out of Gains staff The haw-
thorn, again, sometimes lives TO be

that at both stations an unusually
large number of men have presented
themselves the present summer as re
