WHAT DO WE WEIGH2

A French doctor has pointed out that
several failacies are common with regard
to the weight of the human body. The
man who congratulates himself on his
gain of several pounds in weight over a
given period may AVE no cause for re-
joic.ng, for he may be under a delusion.
Very few people. says this French in
vestigator, have any correct idea Of
their own weight. As a rule, the correct
ness Of hts scale may be doubted, the
weight OF the clothing not taken into
account. the time which has elapsed
since eating, etc.
AS a matter of fact the weight of the
body is continuously changing. owing, to
innumerable influences. On a warm day
after breakfast a man will soon lose
more than a third of a pound per hour.
Seventy per cent. OF the body consists
Of water. and thus its weight must vary
with the Transportation of moisture.
Therefore the differences drawn from
the less or gain of a pound OF two may
be mistrusted. Fluctuations Of a rev
ounces per day are a sign that the body
Is In a healthy state.-Chambers Jour
nal.

HUDSON COUNTY A.0.'s GALA MIGHT
The Crnig-Erne Bout Exciting I'm
usual Interest.

ST. r. u8uHH GnAeEGeAs
The card arranged by the Hudson
County Athletic Club for its boxing car
nival Monday next at Oakland Rink, is
one of the best presented here in some
time. The club has prepared a pro-
gramme of three bouts, each of which
will be interesting. When the club was
organized. its managers promised to pre-
sent special attractions in the boxing
line, and on every occasion has this
promise been more than fulfilled Three
contests have been given, but none of the
others, while excelling all previous exhi-
billions. will in any way compare with the
event of next week. The m~atchmakers
recognizing the desire on the part of New
Workers and others in this vicinity to see
Frank Erne, the unbeaten featherweight
champion of Buffalo, perform in the
ring, have matched him against Joe
Craig of this city, the premier feather
weight of New Jersey. Neither of these
boxers has been beaten N the ring in
several years, n the ten round COM
petition between them should be the
most scientific argument that has taken
place in many months in this vicinity.
Both men are in the pink of condition.
Crag has gone to Coney Island to train.
under the direction of Johnny Carroll, the
we'll known light weight pugilist. whose
success in handling principals in glove
contests has made him famous. For pre-
liminaries the club will offer two spec
ials that equal the star attraction in in
terest. One will be a ten round battle
for the championship of New York and
New Jersey between Charles Roden the
auburn champion of this city, and Casper
Leon of New York, who won over Roden
sonle time ago after a great battle.
This time Roden will get his opponent
down to weight. 107 pounds. and is conf
dent of winning. They are very clever
and the best in the business at the
weight. The other bout will bring to-
gether- a couple of heavy weights, Sim
Robinson the Jersey City champion, aud
Peter Reilly of Long Island City, who
Mike Patton his quietus last winter
in two rounds. Robinson $ a much harder
hitter than Patton and stronger in every
way. The limit will be eight rounds.
Tim Hurst will be the referee and every
convenience for the comfort of the
patrons of the club has been looked
after. Several large windows have been
opened on the sides of the building and
the interior will be made cool by large
fans.

afternoon on the Orange Oval, between
the Orange Athletic Club and the Eliza

two clubs has been talked of for the past
two seasons and as the followers of both
organizations believe their respective
teams superior to the other an enthusiast
tic attendance is looked for. Last year
there was much tall about the outcome
of a game but the teams never anne to-

no end of excitement. AS to the ability
of both teams to play good sharp base
