Is there any race that has not its

Gently pointed out that the time for the
fulfillment of the prophecy that the
tenth of Krishna will restore to India
her independence is near at hand, and
every nation has some such savior to
whom the people look. West country
rustics still believe that Arthur did not
die, but sleeps in Avalon, and that in
the hour of Britain's need he will
awake, deliver the land and restore
the golden age. In Germany it is a
popular belief that Charles V will
some day wake from his enchanted
sleep to reign over Germany, Spain,
Portugal, Denmark, Belgium and Hol-
land. Thousands of French peasants
hold that Napoleon is only sleeping
and that at some future time he will
reappear and rule. And Mr.. Newbolt
has enshrined the Devon legend that
Drake is only listening for the drum.
The Irish peasantry steadfastly re-
fuse to believe that Mr.. Parnell Is
really dead. They assert that his death
was ruse, that he was an interested
spectator of his own funeral and that
when the time comes he will emerge
from retirement to give Ireland her In
dependence. Every true Moslem be-
lieves that when antichrist appears
Mohammed Mohadi will awake and
conquer him. A Moorish legend de-
clares that Bobadil ell Chico sleeps
spellbound near the Alhambra and
that one day he will awake to re-es-
tablish the Moors as rulers of Grana-

slain by the Turks in 1889, as their

FOOD AND THE SEXES.
EAs Male Human Needs TO Eat More
Than the Female.

hhs human Nte09 10 Eat mOEo
Than t:e Female.
According to a writer In the Lancet,
the male human needs more food than
the female not only on account Of his
larger stature. but also because he is
the more katabolic of the two. The
man tends to expend energy and the
woman to store it up In the form of
fat; he burns the faster This sexual
difference shows itself in the very
blood. The man has a larger percent
age of chromocytes than the woman.
showing that he needs a proportionate-
ly larger quantity of oxygen In order
to maintain his more active combus-
ton, a fact which one may associate
with his comparative freedom from
chlorosis. Moreover, weightfor weight,
his pulmonary capacity is greater than
that of the woman, whose smaller re-
spiratory need is further shown by the
facility with which she can without
discomfort diminish her breathing
power by means Of the corset.
"The great contrast between the
metabolic activity Of the two sexes"
continues the writer, was forcibly
brought home to me by a military dis
play given by a troop of dusky ANA
IONS, with whom were also a few male
warriors. The women, In spite Of their
daily exertions, were all rounded and
plump. some very much so. no single
muscle showing through the skin. and

though full of grace, lacked energy

were spare. their muscles standing out
plainly under the shiny skin, and they,

bounding about and whirling round In
a most astounding fashion. The wonl-
en-, In short. were essentially anabolic.
and the men were katabolic. l may
here draw attention to the fact that
men are apt to be larger meat eaters
than women. just as they are, possibly
in consequence of this very fact, more
prone to drink alcohol and to smoke
tobacco"
