Weight of the Sexes nj Varying Ages
If all the men and women, boys and
girls, and infants-black, white, yell
low, brown or red-in all parts of the
werld, could be weighed on the
same scales, the average weight
would be nearly enc hsndred
pounds aveirdupois. Six-pound in
fants and observation-disclosures
giants contribute to the average.
Upon the average, boys at birth
weigh little more and girls little
less than seven pounds. For the first
twelve years the two sexes continue
nearly equsl in weight, but beyond
that .age. the boys acquire decided
preponderanee. Young men Of twenty
average 1856 pounds, while the young
men of twenty average 40 pounds
each.
Men reach their heaviest weiget at
about forty years of age, when their
average weight will be about 140
pounds; but women slowly increase in
weight until fifty years Of age, when
their average weight will be 100 pounds
Taking the men and women together,
their weight at fall growth will then
average from los TO $50 pounds; and
women from so to130 pounds.
AS weight increases, the normal hui
man pulse becomes slower, and then,
as weight grows less. in old age, the
pulse becomes faster again.

THE plant which seems to hold the
wealth of Midas within it's branches
is by no means a rare and mysterious
product of the fabulous past, nor is
it newly discovered. It has been cul

people for years, but with a view to
it's food products alone. It is common

first imported from the West Indies,
where it is known as gumbo, or tech

"For more than twenty-five years
the plant has been under the propa

gardener, who has worked with a
view of bringing out the plants fiber,
which is said by experts to be one
Of the finest in the world, and his
labors have been rewarded by the per
fection of the plant as regards the
length and toughness of it's fiber, and
he has also discovered a process which
will separate the fiber from the bark
and the sticky substance, Or gumbO,
thereby surmounting the obstacle that
discouraged the growing of the plant
in the West Indies for its fiber. Mr.:
Rigden's solution, a compound of
cheap chemicals, acts in such a man
ner upon the stalks that the gumbo
and the bark are dissolved and the
fiber is taken from the vats long and
silky, having very much the appear-
ance of flax.
"Although the plant would be pro-
ductive of almost untold wealth for
it's fiber alone, it will be shown tho
the fiber is only a part of it's value,
and that it's products will be SO many
and so varied that the plant will come
at once into prominence and be given
place by the side of, if not above, Kino

You have been familiar with okra, for
years, and have never thought of it as
anything more than a plant which
furnished a few edible pods for which
there was limited demand. Accord

profitable crop which southern farm
