what Are We Really worth


If We were to reduce our bodies to
elements, what would they be worth I:
1t is estimated by a chemist that their
market value would not exceed SO In
any case. Our bodies contain a certain
quantity of water. phosphorus. lime, al
fuminoids. iron. sugar, traces OF mag
nesium, sodium. potash, and sulphur.
Each one of these components has a
commercial value. but all united would
bring very little In the market. A man
of regular corpulence contains grease
enough to make seven bars of soap, iron
enough to make key Of medium size.
salt enough for salt cellar, lime enough
to bleach small room. phosphorus
enough to make 200 matches, mag
nesium enough for a strong dose of cit-
rate OF magnesia, and albuminoids
enough to make a good baAket Of eggs

Language and Religion.

From the Popular Magazine.
The man who tells this story claims
that its hero was an Irishman. At any
rate the language makes a fine bull.
A preacher had delivered his prize SER
mon, exhorting his hearers to embrace
the religious life and scorn the attrac-
tions Of wealth and late supp-rs.
He concluded with this center shot:
MY brethren, let not this world rob
you Of a peace which it can neither give

LuNATIc AS DOCTOR.


While a prominent specialist was
absent from the consulting room in
Berlin the other day, a lunatic man
aged to obtain admission, and posed
as the doctor to the many patients
who called. giving them prescriptions
and advice. There appeared to be
nothing unusual in his manner until a
lady who was constant patient
asked him II he was acting AZ .Pubsti-
tute during the holidays. The i'm
poster laughed, and told her to take
peppermint loEenges for her lung
trouble. The woman raised the
alarm, and the mailman was taken
into custody. Considerable anxiety is
felt for the other patients, for whom
he may have prescribed poison. All
the pharmacists have been advised o.
the affair.

The November Wide World

One of the most interesting articles
IN the November Wide World Maya
zine is entitled The Surf-Board

it ''the King of summer sports" and
few people reading his account of its

riding is one of the most ancient
pastimes of the Hawaiians, but the
white man has taken to it with en-

interesting article is in Pursuit Of

JAKE'S VALLY
STILL DANGEROUS
FOR STUCK

Clarence r. Norman, the Illi-
pan stockman and rancher, is still
anxiously awaiting permission from
Uncle Sam to fence in a few square
miles of the public domain in
Jake's valley. A resolution of con-
gress authorizing the department of
the interior to extend the permits
sion to Mr.. Norman is necessary
and such resolution was offered
and discussed in the senate some
time ago. What has happened to
the resolution since that time is
not known here and in the mean
time Mr. Moorman is in danger of
losing more cattle and horses in the
mysterious cracks that suddenly APP
peared in the valley several years
age.
The cracks Immediately filled with
water and a good many head of
stock were drowned in them be-
fore and shortly after they were
noticed The animals would 20 to
the cracks to drink when the banks
would cave under them They could
not scramble out on account OF the
steepness of the banks and the depth
of the cracks and many head were
drowned Many yere saved by be-
ing pulled out by a team that was
kept near the cracks for the pur-
pose. Mr. Norman applied for per-
mission to build a fence around
the cracks but it has not been
forthcoming up to the present time.
In the meantime Mr. Norman
has to have the cracks watched as
long as his cattle are in the vicin-
ity of them and as they are filled
with water from the recent storms,
he has had to pull a number of
cattle out of them this spring. He
has written several times but can
not get satisfaction as to whether
he is to receive permission to erect
the fence or not If he does not,
he says he will have to quit at
tempting to raise stock as the losses
are too great Ely Expositor.
