At one of the reunions of the Army
of the Cumberland several former Of
tficers of the Union army fell to dis
cussing the wounds they had received
during the civil war. At last one OF
their number turned to Colonel B., 8
tall, fine, soldierly looking man, who
had remained silent during the discus
sion, and said:
well, colonel, you seem to be the
only one of the party who escaped un
injured"
"Oh, no, l didn't" answered the
colonel quickly. Il was shot at An
tietam. A bullet went through my
nose, taking the gristle out" He wrig.
gled his nose from side to side to prove
the truth of his statement.
"Ah. well, you were quite fortunate
after ALL" said Major NJ. consolingly
eff the bullet had struck a half inch
further in, your soul would have been
launched into eternity"

The Sense of Fceltng.

Some of our most important organs
for instance. the heart. the brain and
the lungs-are. strange to say. quite
insensible to touch, thus showing that
not only are nerves necessary for the
sensation. but also the special end or
gans. The curious fact was noticed
with the greatest establishment by
Harvey. who, while treating Il patient
for an abscess that caused a large
cavity in his side. found that when he
put his fingers into the cavity he could
actually take hold of the heart without
the patient being in the least aware Of
what he was doing. This SO interested
Harvey that he brought King Charles
|. to the mans bedside that "he might
himself behold and touch SO extraor-
binary thing" s..
In certain operations a piece of skin
is removed from the forehead to the
nose. and it is stated that the patient,
oddly enough. feels as If the new
nasal part were still in his forehead
and may have headache in his nose.

Mans Monuments.

Mr.. James Relation, writing of the
wonderful old ruins of monuments and
shrines at Anura jahpoord, the city Of
the sacred DO tree in Ceylon, says:
"F'rom the days of the mound builders
man has shown himself to be monu-
ment erecting being. The Christians
have their cathedrals, the Mohammed-
ans have their mosques, and the Bud
dhists have their shrine tombs, de-
signated differently in different coun-
tries as pagoda. tope and dagoba.
The pagOdas of China are entirely
dissimilar to those of Burma, and the
dagobas of Ceylon are quite unlike
those in either country, yet all serve
the one purpose of relic sepulture.
They are not altogether thing of the
past. They are still erected near the
temples, but those of modern construc-
ton are small and unimportant when
compared with those that have with
stood biennial monsoons for 1900
years. Even their half buried ruins
are stupendous."

FOOD AND THE SEXES.

The Male Human Needs to Eat More
Than the Female.
According to 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 larger percent
age of chromocytes than the woman,
showing that he needs proportionate-
ly larger quantity of oxygen in order
to maintain his more active combus7
ton, a fact which one may associate
with his comparative freedom from
chlorosis. Moreover, weight for 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.
1.-THE great contrast between the
metabolic activity of the two sexes"
continues the writer, twas forcibly
brought home to me by military dis
play given by a troop of dusky anna
IONS, with whom were also 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
it was noticed that their movements,
though full of grace, lacked energy
and go The men. on the other hand,
were spare, their muscles standing out
plainly under. the shiny skin, and they,
in further contrast with the women,
displayed truly amazing agility,
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
