years and become so distrustful,"
said the old farmer, as the matter OF
graft aud trusts were touched upon
II had four hogs to sell and advertised
them in the village paper. Half a
dozen people came out to see them
and among them was a widow. She
wanted me to swear to the breed the
weight and the fact that the hogs
were in good health. She wanted to
be assured of their good eyesight and
hearing. She wanted to be satisfied
that they were good-natured hogs. She
wanted me to sign a paper that

stealing them. When | had done all
this and the sale was about effected

SOMETHING WRONG WITH MAN.
Scientist Points Out How His Life
Is Much too Short.

What is the matter with man!
March Phillips points out that there
is this peculiarly in the condition OF
man, as compared with the other
mammalia, that his life is shorter now
than by analogy 1t ought to be. In
other animals the period of growth is
about one-tenth to one-fifteenth of the
whole life The lion, which is full
grown at five, lives for 20 or 80 years.
The dog. full grown at Is months, Is
as old at 10 as a man at 80. Man, llV-
ing as long as the lion, is not fu.l
grown till 20. The same proportion
would give man from 800 to 400 years.
Thus his physical life is not in this
respect the normal life. 1t is cut ex-
ceedingly short and its brevity points
to some primal failure of vigo: Ito
the presence of some nonnatural-
that is, some diseased-condition sap
ping his vitality. ProS. Virchow notes
that If we gather together the whole
sum of the fossil men hitherto known
and put them parallel with those OF
the present time We decidedly can
pronounce there are among living men
q much greater number of individuals
who show relatively inferior type
than among the fossils known of to
this time.

What to Do After Eating.

Should one lie down after meals,
and. if so. should one sleep? DR..
Schulz, an assistant of Baumler at
Freiberg, has analyzed the contents
of the stomachs of two normal sub
jects removed several hours after an
Identical test meal of bread and dis
titled water. followed in one instance
by sleep, in the other by simple rest in
a horizontal position, says the Lon
don Post Schulz shows that sleep
during digestion always results in
weakening the mobility of the stom-
ach and increasing the acidity of the
gastric juice; fact attributed by him
to the irritation caused by the chyme S
remaining adbnormally long in the
stomach He has also remarked that
simple repose in horizontal position,
not accompanied by sleep, stimulates
the gastric function without increas-
ing the acidity.

Semenoff says that, although wounded
in the head, back and right leg, be-
sides several small splinter wounds,
the Russian admiral bore himself most
cheerfully, going off to look for a
place from which he could watch the
fight. Proceeding to the starboard
turret he received another wound,
which caused him much pain. A
splinter struck his left leg. severing
the main nerve and paralyzing the
ball of the foot. He was carried into
turret and seated on a box, but still
had sufficient strength at once to
ask why the turrent was not firing.
