ounces; baked spaghetti, ten ounces; mashed potato, ten ounces; boiled tur- nip, six ounces: bread, two ounces; ap- pie sauce, eight ounces; apple tapioca pudding. twelve ounces; fried sweet potato, eight ounces; fried bacon, one ounce; fruit jam, four ounces; coffee, one and one-half pints; and tea. three- fourths of pint. Such a diet, owing to its vegetable nature and lack of concentration, is naturally quite vol luminous. A greater concentration of diet is easily obtained by replacement of a portion of the vegetable matter by meat; and this the ordinary man, with his highly developed palate, usually prefers to do, because of the increased flavor which his acquired taste now calls for. Further, the resources at the command of the civilized man render possible great variety in matters of diet; but whatever the character of the daily food, or however great the number and variety of the ingredients. it will be found that the nitrogen con tent and fuel value of the daily food of mankind will in general correspond in large measure to the dietary standards usually adopted throughout the civil
 ized world-Century Magazine.

DIETARY STANDARDS.
What Observation Indicates To Be the
 Average Mans Daily Food Need. w

What Observation Indicates To Be the
 Average Mans Daily Food Need.
 Accepting the daily dietary standards previously enumerated, and which are based upon observation as to what people are accustomed to consume, it is plain that the, average man doing from light to muscular work must take each day approximately 116 grams of protefd matter (eighteen grams of nit rogen), with sufficient fat and carbo- hydrate to yield a total fuel value of S,050 large calorics. The usual propor- tion, of, carbohydrate (nlostly starchy food) is about five hundred grams to 50-60 grams of fat. In other words, the average man needs, according to the above hypothesis, approximately 120 grams of proteid, 800 grams of carbo- hydrate and sixty grams of fat for his daily ration In order to obtain these amounts of nutrients he would require, per day, three-fourths of a pound of or dinary roast beef, one pound of boiled potato, one-half pound of white bread and one-fourth of a pound of butter, Naturally, much greater variety of food might be adopted with the same nutri- tive value as the above; but these fig- ures will suffice to give some impression of the quantities of ordinary cooked foodstuffs required to yield the nitro gen and the total fuel value called for by the above standard dietary.
 A more elaborate diet, one in a large measure free from meat and having essentially the same content of nitro- gen and with a total fuel value of ap- proximately 5000 calorics, would be as follows: Fried hominy, six ounces: syrup, three ounces; baked potato, eight ounces; butter, one and one-ha1f

BLACK FOX. IN MAINE.
Its Fur Will Be a Prize Worth Getting
 Next Winter.

Its tuF VIII Be a Prize Worth Getting
 Next Winter.
 Men who have ridden into Bangor early in the morning from Amherst, Aurora, Beddington and nearby towns say they have seen great and superb ly shining black fox capering by the rOadsides and scouting across fields and through pastures.
 Making due allowance for visual de fleets, if the tales that are told are half true the animal is surelyi worth hunting for-or will be a month later, when it's winter fur is grown. Be- yond question, the pelt of the black fox is the most valuable fur on earth. The biggest and finest fur seal in the Arctic Ocean carries a garment that will be valued at $500 to $500 after it has been dressed and colored. The pelt of great sea lion commands from $2OO to s4O0, and the jacket of a silver gray fox sometimes sells for $500 to S1,O00.
 But better and more choice, and nor eexpensive than any of the above, is the skin of the black fox. At the auction sale. of furs held in London last June there were six belts taken from black foxes, which sold far more than $1,50O each, one specimen con- manding $2.200.
 The dealers in furs tell us that the best place to seek black foxes on this continent is along the northern end of the Atlantic seaboard, from Han cock County, Maine, through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to Labra- dor. As can be inferred from the prices secured from the buyers, black foxes are not plentiful in any part of the world. Less than 100 belts are taken in a year from the entire earth. In some years the number has dwin- dled to 30. <5..4.
 Of late the captures have been more plentiful, though a man can hunt long time in any place without casting his eyes upon a black fox, and, as see ing is not equivalent to securing, many men who have looked at black foxes running away have never shot one., | According to the tales of old hunt ers there is a black fox which may be seen at rare intervalsN among the hills of Dedham and Otis. Men who have placed hounds on its track assert that the animal never stops to play with the dogs by circling, but makes a bee line due. east, running rapidly un- til the last pursuer drops from fa- tigue. Perhaps the fox seen of late along the road leading to the Whales Back is the same animal.-Bangor News
