THE HUMAN MACHINE.
Se~ae Interesting Statistics as to the
Amount of work a Mans
Docs.

The human body is the most econom-
teal machine in the world. 1t takes in
about s Ia pounds of food day in the
shape Of water, oxygen and solids.
This food gives man his power of do
ing work. 1t gives the strength for
bodily, muscular and mental work, says
the New York World
The heart does 120 foot tons of work
In pa hours. If the full work of the
heart for that period could be gath
cred into one big lift it would raise
12o tons weight one foot high. The
muscles of breathing do 81 foot tons
work per day.
The work of the whole body in its
sections for "a hours amounts to about
S.4o0 foot tons.
This enormous working power IS de-
veloped from food in "a hours. Over
1900 foot tons go to produce heat,
which is a mode of motion and is neces-
sary for every vital process. The re-
mainder represents mans actual
muscular and mental work.
It must be remembered that 1900
foot tons about represent the force
which would raise a man of average
weight eight and one-half miles height.
Man has never succeeded In making any
engine that could compare with the en-
gtneer's own body in developing rela-
lively large amount of energy on a very
sEuAn consumption of fuel or food.

II was dining with Admiral Dryfus,
nj Virginia, formerly OF the confeder-
ate navy, one evening in Richmond"
sSid Edward Mashall, the author and
journalist, relates the Washington
Star. 'and ordered my favorite dish
nj broiled sardines. There isn't much
of n sardine to broil, but what there is
Of the little sh'thus prepared is most
delicious.
when the diminutive products of
the Maine coast were brought before
me i observed the admiral turn pale
and show evidences Of physical distress.
He asked me to be kind enough to have
the dish removed and another substi-
tinted.
When ithad disappeared my friends
normal good nature returned, and he
explained. 1t seems that he sailed to
the Pacific coast before the war; in q
snip which had an unusually long and
tsmpestuous passage. The provisions
Fan short and they were compelled to
rally upon the cargo for food. The only
enibles were cases of timed sardines
and boxes OF soda crackers. The crew
and passengers lived on sardines and
crackers until their stomachs refused
TO tolerate these delicacies. They were
In danger of actual starvation, when
another ship fortunately hove in sight.
zna enough supplies were obtained to
2axt until San Francisco was reached.
Since then the sight of sardines is in
kolerable to the admiral"

WANTS INDIANS TO VOTE.
&artsSn Allison, OF South Dakota, to
Give Political Instruction
TO the Sioux.

During the nexG four months the
Sioux Indians on the reservations in
South Dakota are to receive their first
instructions in ciyics if Capt. z. III. AL
1isOn has his way about it. Capt. AL
4son is q member of the Uncpaphah
tribe of Sioux Indians, having been
adopted by that tribe in 1866, and he
married the Sioux princess, Sirawin,
Slaughter of Sacred Bear, who was for
years head chief of the tribe
Capt. Allison, says q special dis
patch to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
has lived among the Sioux Indians
1nesrly all his life, and he speaks the
Indian language as Huently as he
speaks the English. He was chief of
the scouts for Gen. Sheridan for sew
er1 years, and was chief scout and
knterpreter for Gen. Otis in the west
ern country for 10 or Is years.
1t was he who, after the Custer
snassacre on the Little Big Horn, went
10 Canada to induce Sitting Bull and
his band, who had fled thither, to re-
turn to the United States; and he
was in charge of the command which
took Sitting Bull to Fort Randall.
GC" VI the OlOuA lGOlanS nave ever

In fact, but few of them can be said

For pastime ere he went TO town
To whirl about the busy mart;
But she-7she simply turned him down.
In vain he used his best perfume
And gave his hair the middle part;
As you most probably assume,
He could not win the maiden's heart.

It's bright, bright world. with its roses
and its rest,
And, till we reach the other it's the
sweetest and the best;
And hand in hand together
Well face the stormy weather.
For a rainbow rounds the Heavens from
the rosy east to west
It's bright, bright world. with its love

Its blessings and caressings. Its song, its

And SHINING and forgiven.

Prayer.

A prayerful soul breathes through the
face
Like perfume through rose:
No art can initiate the grace
OF spiritual repose.
The heart that talks with God in prayer
Unconsciously imparts
Some portion of the truths learned there
To other minds and hearts.
1t needs no utterance of a word,
1t needs no pen or book:
What God speaks to the heart Is heard
In every act or look.
Pray much: in pleasure, toll or rest
Call on that Unseen Force,
And let your heart kneel IN your breast
Communing with The Source.

A SLIGHT

Boston Transcript: In the midst OF the
excitement Of Melrose's first city eau
cuses last night a mild hammered man
walked into the police room in the town
hall and took a seat on the bench outside
the railing. He had not hsen there long
when a pair of rather seedy looking ind1-
viduals of the tramp genus entered and
sat down beside him. The officer in
charge Of the station happened to be out
at the time, but returned shortly after
the advent of the latest arrivals. The
tramps at once stood up to the rail, and
! with them the earlier conner, and one at
/ ter another lac their names, birthplaces,
! occupations, etc, put dow in the book
In which the town keeps a list of it's
guests. AS it happened, the mild man

the questions satisfactorily until the Of

day night, to which he replied "Melrose,"
giving the street and number This reply
naturally moved the questioner to in
uuire why he did not go there then, to
which he replied hat such was his in
t%ention, as it was his home Still more
mystifed, the officer demanded what he
wanted anyway, and much to his aston

applicant wanted to be registered as a

THE FATD OF THE TRANSVAAL
MINES.

Will the mines on the Rand suffer de-
struction, as has been threatened (ac-
cording to newspaper report)-Wm they
be seized and worked in the interest OF
the Boer government-or will they mere
" lie idle n take only the damage due
to neglect? Unfortunately, no direct an
swer seems obtainable. 1t Is not to be
believed, however, that n destruction
of equipment could receive official sane
ton. In the first place, contrary to the
generally received opinion. the ownership
of the mines is vested chiefly on the con-
tinent. British interests are a minority
only, the majority Of the shares being held
in Germany, France, and other European
countries. The large neutral interests In
volved would deter the heads of the gov
eminent from directing or sanction1ng
any wrecking of property or plant.
Whether or not the recklessness and law
lessness Of the lower elements of the COM
munity could be restrained is quite an
other matter. Wholesale destruction Is
not to be apprehended, but more or less
vandalism of a desultory character. For
the present, it is likely Gas reported) that
some of the mines Though only a very
few) will be worked for the gold needed
by the Boer government. and that such
work will be so prosecuted as to yield the
largest immediate returns. Only thu
richest ore is likely to be taken; no at
tention to maintenance or repairs a be
expected: it will, beyond question. be 8

ing Of the machinery to death.

THAT

Tn Anaconda Standard this morning
peremptorily refuses to accept the Inter
Mountains wager of five hundred dollars
as to the ~veracity of our Washington COR
respondent, claiming that to put up
wager is to resort to the tactics of the
bar-room!
It is too bad about the Standards Of
f=nded taste.

sense of morality that it does not con-
denim the jerk-water horse racing asso-
citation which has bled Butte for years.
and. which mods it's head approvingly
when a witness in the Clark case swears
that he committed. perjury, and chuckles
with delight when a bet of $4,000 is offer
ed that Clark will be expelled. certainly
ought to be protected from the challenge
! Of the Inter Mountain!
The Standard gave the lie to the state
ments made in our special dispatch from
Washington, which We're published with
out comment as a matter of news.
Unfortunately for the Anaconda wing
Of the democracy, the incident reflected
upon the honesty of the methods practice
ed by that faction, and incidentally
showed a disposition to use zone for the
subornation of witnesses.
Coming on the heels of the confession OF
Lawyer Cason. to the effect that he had
been paid $500 by the Anaconda demo-
Gratis to perjure himself in the Welcome
case, the Washington affair was not OF
a nature to inspire ar overwhelming
amount of confidence in the purity Of tina,
faction of the democracy.
Therefore, the Standard pranced to thu
! front with the statement that the publ
cation of the special was m%endacious, a n
that our correspondent was either a foo
or a knave!
In dealing with a bar-room loafer, bar
room methods are usually the most eff
fective ones, and the Inter Mountain OF
fered a wager of five hundred dollar
that it's correspondent told the truth.

TO explain tnlS morning CAdI IL VIII HN

u ror in which it looks upon the habit q
. betting-but that it still believes that tn
VI Inter Mountain published a lie.
In the opinion of the Inter Mountain
the Standard knows the affair happened
y Just as it was chronicled in these CO
umns, and is in possession of all the fact
e But it has a mission to perform, and
is in duty bound to discredit everythin
which reflects upon the immaculate purit
of any of it's favorite political buns.
