THE HUMAN FORM DIVINE.

The human skull contains thirty
bones.
The cerebral matter is about seven
eighths water.
The human skeleton exclusive of
the teeth, consists of eos bones.
The normal weight of the liver is
between three and four pounds.
The fibers of the brain average n
n-thousandth part of an inch in
diameter.
The he;ghth of fully grown man
should be three and half times that
at his birth.
There are in the humrn bo ly 5e7
distinct muscles, OF which 26l are in
pairs and FIVE are single.
The brain of an idiot contains much
less phosphorus than that of person
of average mental powers.
A perfectly formed face is one-third
forehead, onc-third nose. one-thirl
upper ana lower lip and chin.
The legs of n perfectly formed man
should be as long as the distance from
the end of his nose to the tips of his
fingers.
A woman of perfect form should
measure about 4 foot more from her
waist to her feet than from her waist
to the crown of her head.
A well proportionca woman wears
shoe whose number is half that of
her glove; for instance, if her glove is
No. 9 her shoe should be No. ,.
The average height of the men in
the union army in 1868 was five feet
seven inches. The natives of this
country average greater height than
that OF any other.
The test for symmetry is to turn
man with his face to the wall. If he
is perfectly formed his chest will
touch it, his nose will be four inches
away. his thighs five, tho tips of his
toes three.
In one portion of the cur is found a
small quantity of crystalline powder,
proved to be pure carbonate of lime.
Its office is supposed TO be to com
municate the sound vibrations to the
nervous surfaces.
In perfectly formed female figure,

Besides the golden eagle, tho great
aux, the odo, the white whale, and
other items OF creation which have
vanished or are threatening to
vanish from the world it is en-
,ouraging to hear of the gradual
extinction OF one really noxious in
habitant-the alligator. Florida
hunters claim to have accounted for
over 2,5oO,OD) of these pests. and
when it is considered how slowly
hey grow there seems reasonable
chance OF their determination, at

Democrats Wan. Another Change.

Ever since the November election,
1892, all products of this country.
there principally the sale and ship
ping of products from the farm, have
been on the decline in price. Horses
that sold in '9u, %! and '9o for SIPS to
$3.50 now sell for 500 to SIS. Wheat,
oats and corn all have fallen in price.
Land is not called as valuable as form
erly when farm products sold at highe
prices Farmers are buying less and
the results are that all lines of busi-
ness are lighter The causes for all
this shrinkage in values and of business
is what an old time protectionist once
said to free-traoer in my pres
ence. "If a free trade party is elected
IN 1892 the people will see hard times"
How we'll his prediction has been full
filed, the closeness of all lines of bus
iness tell, and although the free trade
party say they have made no laws to
bring about this stagnation in busi.
ness, yet their threats to revolutionize
all protective laws are the direct causes
of it all In my line of work, among
all parties and all conditions of the
people, i find very many free trade
men, who voted for this change in
1899. now saying they have enough Of
it and never will vote so again, while
the protection voter is stronger pro-
than ever.

decrease of 7i,T per cent for the year
in the imports of raw wool. The de-
