The blacksmith was asked to call al

asked him IL he would consider an Of

THE GLuTEus MAxIMus.
II Is the Strongest Muscle In the Hu.
mnn Body

II Is the Strongest Muscle In the Hu,
man Body.
The strongest muscle in the human
body Is the gluteus maximus. Hardly
movement of the lower extremities
can be made without bringing 1t into
play, but its chief duty is TO balance
the pelvis on the head of the thigh
bone. II assists in carrying the leg for
ward and outward in walking, and
without its aid any movement of the
body from the hips would be impossi
bic.
As It is the strongest, so is It also the
largest muscle we possess. In the full
grown man 1t can exert force of 80
pounds to the square inch of It's section
In the thickest part
Another strong muscle, which Is sit
dated in the calf of the leg. is capa-
bic Of sustaining seven times the
weight Of the body. The great tendon
which is inserted in the heel bone, call.
ed tendon achilles, is also of singular
strength. When removed from the
body, 1t has sustained weight Il
5000 pounds. yet sometimes by the
sudden action Of the muscles of the
calf, to which it belongs, it has been
snapped across.

The sewing Room.

One should purchase for the sewing
room an excellent cutting table, with
measurements, and see that the chair
used when cutting is of the proper
height to fit it. There should also be
low and comfortable sewing chairs and
footstool or two to afford rest by a
change of position. All the furniture
of this room should be OF solid wood
so far as possible. Certainly no tufted
pieces should be found here to catch
threads or dust The sewing machine
is, of course the central piece OF fur
niture, and its position should be such
that the best light possible may fall
upon II. There should be small clock
in the room and, IL practicable, shelf,
with hooks on its underside, where
skirts in process of construction may
be husg overnight. The shslf should
contain conyenIences for pressing. .

THE YoLks or EGGS.

the Pale Yellow.
There Is most probably an important
dletetic difference between two eggs
the yoik Of one OF which Is a very pale
yellow color and that Of the other
rich. almost reddish color. II is a mo-
torious fact that the country produced
egg may usually be placed under the
latter description. while the egg pro
duced by the hen that is under an un-
healthy and limited environment shows
an anaemic color. generally very pale
yellow. The eggs of Wild birds-as,
Cor example. the plover-show yolk Of
. rich reddish color.
The substance which contributes col
or to the yolk Of the egg is iron. just as
1t is iron which gives color to The
blood. and there seems TO be little
doubt that the iron compound in the
Solk Of the egg is Of similar nature
10 that OF the blood. 1t is easily as.
simulated, and eggs are regarded as a
suitable food for the anaemic person,
as they present concentrated and
generally easily digested form OF nu-
triment rich in iron. The iron COM
pound Of the egg has, in fact. been
termed haematogen," because 1t is
probable that from 1t the blood of this
chick is derived The amount of iron
in the yolk Of an egg would appear TO
Increase with the intensity of its color
and there can be little doubt that the
maximum is reached in the richly col
ored yolk of the egg produced by
fowl existing in healthy Surroundings,
for then its processes OF nutrition would
be working under very favorable con.
ditions, As an article of diet, there
fore. the egg should be judged not by
the color Of It's shell. but OF the yolk,
which should be OF rich reddish rath.

Tragedy OF Unemployment to the

The tragedy of unemployment deep
ms in the case of those men who are
yisibly aging. passing prematurely in
to that condition when society has nei-

The development of the modern city

Work can always be found for the
children. But the man of forty has al
ready become suspect. At fifty there Ia

bleak old age of the unwanted poor.
The despairing clutch of the aging at
any degrading occupation which be-
fore they would have scorned is one OF
the commonest and pitifulest sights OF
modern life. / think Of those whom /

over thirty years consistent service,
exhibiting hands twisted and gnarled
with disease, who shuiiies daily

an agony, the one panic fear is not
that he shall be compelled but that he
shall be forbidden to continue. think

means bell. The Arabs affirm that
