THE HUMAN FORM DIVINE.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The sense of touch is dullest on the

Hair Is very strong. "A single hair VIII
bear a weight OF 1,lj0 grains.
The normal weight of the liver is be-
tween three and four pounds.
Men have been known to lose by perspira-
tlon 5000 or G,0OO grains an hour.
The only involuntary muscle composed
of red or striped lbers Is the heart.
In the space of a quarter of an inch
square Withof found 1i7 black, l62 brown
and 1872 ilaxen hairs.
Under normal circumstances n man
throws off two pounds every day in SEN
slble and insensible persplration.
The heart ordinarily beats about seventy
times a minute, and throws about two
ounces OF blood at each contraction.
The papillae of the fingers are about one
one-hundredth part of an inch high and
observation-disclosures of an inch In
diameter
After passing through the liver the blood
loses n great part of its fbrin. but what
becomes of the latter substance is not
positively known.
A well-proportioned woman wears a. shoe
whose number Is half that of her glove.
For instance, If her glove Is No. 6, her
shoe should be No. 3.
The human lungs retain the air in their
substance with such obstinancy that II can
not be expelled by any compression short
of absolutely disintegratlng the tissue.
The head and face have eighty-three
muscles; the neck has forty-nine; the tho
rax seventy-eight; the abdomen thirty
three; the back seventy-eight; the upper
extremities ninety-eight; the lower one

Saturday Reflections.

The contrast between the number of
those who last Wednesday night crowded
a local place of public entertainment TO
witness the minute boxing exercise of
the champion pugilist of the world. and
that of those who, two evenings earlier,
assembled to hear the inltiatory lecture of
one of the most scholarly young English
men now in the United States is somewhat
vivid. to be sure; but am not certain that
1t offers much room for criticism. In both
cases. the audience paid its money for Its
choice, and received an ample bargain.
Besides. 1t is not always by mere num-
bers that human affairs are decided. /
sometimes think one of the fundamental
mistakes of our American people Is that
mistake upon which our government is
founded-which assumes that the rule of
the majority is necessarily the rule of

STENENSON'S SLANG.



From the Troy Times.
1t may be soothing to the minds Of
the many people in this world. who
having formed the habit of commonly
using slang cannot now do without it
to know that even so polished Il writer
as Robert Louis Stevenson fairly rev.
eled in slang" according TO Andrew
Lang. In his writings Stevenson was
conspicuous as a purist, but for ordn-
airy conversation slang attracted him
because of the force and compactness
with which it expressed his ideas. This
was only one of Stevenson's bad habits
cigarette smoking carried to an excess
being another.
1t is related that when Stevenson was
young man a Scotch clergyman took
him to task for using SO much slang in
his conversation. The author allowed
the clergyman to run on until he had
freely expressed his mind, then Steven
son very cleverly dissected the, clergy
mans words. and to the astonishment
of the latter proved to him that he had
uttered hardly n sentence which did
not contain at least one phrase which
but a few years before was slang
slang" said Stevenson upon that oC-
casion "is merely good English in a
crude and unreiined state. All you
have to do is to leave it alone for a few
years and the very best speakers and
writer's will accept it, without any idea
that they are using slang"

Temptation .

OF all the insidous
Temptations inv!dious
Contrived by the devil for pulling men
down,
There is none more delusive, seductive,
abusive,
Than the snare to man with his wife out
of town.
He feels such e-light-fulness,
Stay-out-al t-al-night-fulness
observation-disclosures,
own it with pain.
4 bachelor raklshness,
will-you-talS- -ishness,
None can explain.
His wife may be beautiful,
Tender and dutiful,
'Tis not that her absence
Would cause him delight;
But the cursed opportunity,
Baleful immunity,
Scatter his scruples as day scatters night.
