Temperature of the Human Body.

temperature OK tue human Body.
1t is remarkable what slight varia.
tion there is in the temperature of the
healthy human body. The normal tenn
perature is 96.6, and it is fraction
less than this one or two hours after
midnight, while the maximum tenn
perature occurs from one to two hours
after the noon hour. The ingestion of
food. fasting, exercise, all are factors
in slightly varying the temperature.
The great popularity about the tenn
perature of man is it's evenness under
all conditions. Heat or cold causes but
slight variation, and in man less than
in any other animal. In extremes that
would be fatal to many animals man
can endure and enjoy good health un-
der those circumstances. We read of
arctic voyagers enduring a tempera-
ture ranging from so degrees to 80 de.
grees and even 1O2 degrees below zero,
while. on the other hand, in the tropics,
during the greater part of the year, the
temperature ranges from 1O6 degrees
to ITO degrees above, and yet men en-
JOY health in such varying tempera-
lures.

Ancient Salt Currency.

In various countries anciently and in
some eastern ones down to the present
time salt has been recognized as a me-
dunn Of exchange. Cosmas speaks of
a salt currency as being in use in the
heart of Africa in the sixth century.

the Kingdoms and Marvels Of the
East" Written in the thirteenth cen.
fury, tells us the Tibetans had none of
the great khan's paper money, but used
salt instead. Their small change was
made thui: They had salt, which they
boiled FM set in mold fat below
and roued above, and every piece from
the mold weighed half a pound. On
these mo)ds the princes mark was set,
and none but the royal officers special
~ appointed was permitted to make it.
Eighty Of these molds were reckoned
to be equal to "saggio of fine gold"
A Patient Scot.
Alexander lines Shand in his "A
Medley of Memories writes of an old
Scotchman whom he knew in his boy
hood. "He used to drive cattle in
flowing Powered dressing gown, which
had been passed on to him, and he only
shaved his gray beard at long inter-
walls. One Of my earliest recollections
is seeing him biting off the tails of
litter of terrier puppies in the court
yard. He was philosopher in his own
way, and with the free run of the serv-
ants hall and buffers pantry he took
life easily.
HE never complained. Once when
the landlord paid q morning visit that
parsonage splashed from the drainage
outside the door into puddle within,
where some ducklings were disporting
themselves, and the wet was dripping
over him from the blackened rafters.
"'Why, john was the exclamation,
you are in terrible state here! We

Etiquette of cannib.lism.

"Even among the savages Of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there are
differences" said Paul PUGET, a young
Italian traveller. "Some while ago,
when exploring in that country, I learn
ed good bit about the ways of the
various tribes. In majority Of them
cannibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those Of prisoners taken in
battle. It is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be gross violation of tradition
and the custom Of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon men,
bers Of the same tribe. This delicacy
Of sentiment, however, Is not universal,
and in one tribe in particular, where !
noted the absence Of any old persons,
I learned that 1t was the proper thing
to add the aged Inhabitants to the To-
cal food supply. This confined the pop
ulation to the young and hardy, for
at the first signs of decrepnude the
boiling pot was called into requisi-
don." Post.

How to Meet the Gas Company.

The failure" of the home rule charter
by a small margin serves to emphasize
the work Of the legislative committee
of the council. The committee is going
to the legislature to get just what the
charter would have provided had it
been adopted, that is, authority to is
sue bonds to take over the gas plant
pires.
Alderman Holmes is correct. in his
contention that the city would do well
not to exhaust it's bond limit before the
gas matter is taken up. Even should It
be contended that the city needs pure
the bonds for the gas plant should
come first. They should come first be-
cause without them the city would be
in no position to treat with the gas
company in 1910. The gas company
sees this perfectly well and is not
friendly to the charter. This may .ex-
plain also why the gas organ so ma
liciously and untruthfully attacked the
charter 1t. helped to create distrust
among those who have only super
fcia1ly examined the subject and who
are very easily scared off from voting
either way on charter or bond propo-
sition.
3. Using up the bond margin for sew
ers and water at thespresent time would
produce in 1910 just the condition the
gas company desires. The city would
be beggar at the feet of the gas com
pany rather than an equal in driving a
bargain. -
The city may not want gas plant.
But that is not the point. The city
wants, if notssa,. gas plant, a gas fran
elise which is fair to everybody. In
order to get it, it must be prepared to
make an offer to buy and if, it's offer
should be accepted it must be ready
to deliver the price: This is not say
ing that public ownership is a good or
bad thing. But it is saying that
either side which goes into business
dicker without financial backing must
be prepared to take the short end Of
the, bargain, ~ ~ 49,.
If Minneapolis :, had adopted the
charter it could not have been forced
into that position. But having let one
chance to put itself on an equality
slip is no reason why it should fool
away another. 80, 49,. L.. !.
