Mckinley prosperity struck the country.
Say you republican trust paid editors tell

ASIDE from all questions of constitu-
tionality or mere expediency, it is the
moral situation in which we find ourselves
placed in the Philippines, which it seems
to me ought to distress every true Ameri-
can heart. 1t is so utterly un-American
in spirit, so almost inhuman. How any
genuine American, with the principles of
the Declaration of independence in his
soul, can look complacently at what is
going on today in the Philippines I can
not understand With every fresh bat
tie fought, want to hide my face in
shame and horror at what my country is
doing there. What crime have those
FilipinoS committed that, under the very
stars and stripes, we should b. shooting
them down by thousands as Spaniards
did before us? Absolutely nothing, but
that they want independence and self
government, like our own."- Bishop
Vincent.
The good bishop should have a care
he will be called copperkead and abused
as many other good men are being for
daring to raise his voice in the cause ot
right and justice and humanity. The re.
publican party today is showing the same
spirit; is travelling in the footsteps Of
those who attacked Garrison and Phillip:
and Others who dared to raise their voices
in the cause of right as Bishop Vincent
and other fearless men Of God are doing

The populiSt or democrat that does not
support the whole fusion ticket this fall
is putting club in the hands of the op-
position which they will use very effec-
lively in the national campaign in 1900.
Only one thing is necessary to insure the
election of every person on this ticket
and that is good large vote. Republi-
can success since 1890 has never been due
to an increase in their vote; but to the
stay at home of the opposition. Begin

always carrying a load that would break
the backs of 20 horses. Strange as this
assertion may seem, it is a matter that
may easily be proved by mathematicians.
1t is a matter of general knowledge that
the pressure of the atmosphere at sea
level is Is pounds to the square inch. The
skin area Of the average man is about
$500 square inches, so it is a simple prob
lem to figure out the result. Al Zach step
he carries an external lOad of nearly II
tons. The reason why he is not crushed
as fiat as the --LATEST pancake by this
burden is due to the fact that
the internal pressure in the lungs, as well
as the expansive forces of the gases of
which his body is SO largely composed,
are sufficient to counterpoise the external
pressure.
Another fact that is not generally
known is that the average man produces
light ounces of pure charcoal every day
of his life. In the curse of the "a hours
he will breathe out about IL, 900 grains of
carbonic acid, and this. if the oxygen
should be removed, would produce the
coal, and this leads up to one of the
most interesting of the examples. The
normal capacity of the lungs is $50 cubic
inches, residual air occupying 100 inches,
complemental air 100 inches, and 30
inches are tidal air. The average man
breathes from 10 to II times a minute.

MAN, know myself" is an old maxim,
but it is one that has been pretty gener-
ally disregarded, for there is not one per-
son in a thousand who knows what a
queer combination of things exists in the
human body. Years ago a witty physio-
logist said that the greatest man on
earth was nothing more than so much
white of egg alive. and in this observa-
ton he came very near striking the mark,
for everything that is required to con-
struct the perfect man of $50 pounds
weight is contained in 200 eggs. If we
only knew how to do it we could take
the contents of these eggs and from them
make a perfect man. But even this as
s%ertion, astonishing as it may be, is only
a general statement of the case. as any
careful student of physiology will attest,
for this remarkable machine that walks.

ton of the body's bulk. In fact it has
been estimated that there is enough gas

Bile of holding $3.50 cubic feet. The nine

Starch and fat produce fuel for the
body, and this fuel is consumed at once
or is held in reserve as need may require.
Most of the fat that lis eaten meets an
alkali in the intestines, and thus soap is
made. There is enough fat in the body
to make from 81 to ~ pounds of candles
and the average man manufactures tons
of soap during his lifetime. There is
scarcely an occasion when he does not
have what would be equal to a large cake
of soap concealed about his internal or
gans .and, as in every we'll organized
soap factory, he manufactures a large
quantity of glycerine as a by-product.
Another important constituent of the
body is starch. In the intestines a little
water is added and the starch becomes
sugar in which condition it goes into the
blood. 1t is estimated that there is al
ways enough sugar in the body to fill a
large-sized bowl.
These are but a few Of the compounds
that may be found in the human struc-
ture, and similar remarkable compari-
sons may be made in regard to his en-
ergy. One Of the most astonishing facts

WHAT TT MEANS TO BE A MAN. &C"

OF the solids carbon is one of the most
important substances, there being enough
in a mans body to fill a sack of 211a
pounds. or, in other words, enough to
make 60 gross of lead pencils. Carbon is
the handspring of animal life, the fuel OF
the body. 1t keeps us warm and gives us
energy to move and yet without phos-
phorus we should be in a pitiable state,
indeed. We should have no arms, legs,
skull or teeth, but should be a soft mass,
compelled to craw about like the worms
and live on some pap-like foods. The
substances of which the human body is
composed play such a prominent part
that it is difficult to single out any one
and say hat it is the most important,
but it must be admitted that the one
pound and a half of phosphorus is as es-
sential as the 106 pounds of oxygen.
small as this amount of phosphorus is. it
is enough to poison every resident of a
good-sized village or to make S,064 boxes
of matches.
Estimates vary as to the exact amount
of each substance contained in a body,
but so. for that matter. do the amounts
themselves vary according to the condi
tons of each body. 1t is not difficult,
however, to fix an approximate estimate
and upon that some very interesting cal
culations may be based. Water is one of
the important compounds in the body. 1t

one of oxygen, and in a man weighing

owen Heaed and far beyond Giants
Causeway, with favoring winds, sailed
the fated ship.
Among the passengers were James Will
son and his young Wife. A year before
Wilson married Elizabeth Fulton, and
they We're now on their way to London
derry, n. H., where land had been laid
out to James Wilson as one of the gran
tees of that town.
In the small valley settlement to which
Wilson and his wife were travelling We're
friends under whose hands profitable
was sprlnglng up whose influence was
to be felt long years after.
Concerning the earlier part of the vOy-
age of the emigrant ship tradition is
nearly silent, although certain fragment
airy accounts hint of a protracted calm
and following storm of such violence that
the vessel was driven from her course.
However that may be, it is reasonably
certain that the passage was about me

pired that made the voyage bic

One sultry evening the lookout saw on

silhouette against the early rising moon.
All through the hot summer night the
strange craft wore nearer and nearer,
and when morning came her low hull
could be seen like a black shadow under
her full set of canvas.
The pirate was within gunshot of the
emigrant ship.
To fight or run away was not to be
thought of. The slow ship had not a
dozen muskets. They simply waited.
They had not long to wait, for boats

ever. there are not more than six or
seven ounces in the whole body, or a
little more than enough to supply the
dining-table of a fair-sized boarding
house. Small as this supply is, the body
is ~extravagant in it's use and loses half
an ounce every day. Another substance
OF which there is but a small amount in
the body. but which does a large amount
of work, is washing soda. or sodium in
union with carbon and oxygen. It's mis-
sion IN the body is to act as a scavenger.
Dissolved in the blood it travels from one
part Of the anatomy to the other, and
wherever it finds a particle of carbonic
acid 1t seizes upon it and carries it to the
lungs, from which it is discharged into
the air. This carbonic acid. poisonous
as 1t is. is also a necessity, but if it was
not quickly removed it would clog the
machinery and death would follow.
Among the trifling substances without
which existence would be impossible are
chloride of ammonia, chlorate OF potash
and hydrochloric acid, the latter being
the substance that kills most of the mi
crobes in the food we eat, that prevents
fermentation and assists digestion.
