Chemistry of Man.

According to a writer in Monad,
man weighing $50 pound approx
mately contains $500 cubic feet of
gas. oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen
in his constitution which at 80 cents
Per thousands cubic feet would be
worth 2 80 for Illuminating purposes
He also contains all the necessary fats
to make a Is pound candle and thus,
with the $500 cubic feet of gases, he
possesses great illuminating posi-
bilities His system contains %
pounds and 10 ounces of carbon or
enough to make 78O dozen or $3.50
lead pencils. There are about so
grains of iron in his blood and the
rest of the body would supply enough
tomakeone spike large enough to hold
his weight. A healthy man contains 81
ounces OF phosphorus. This deadly
poison would make 100000 patches
or enough poison to kill 500 persons.
This with 2 pounds of lime makes the

how sour a man looks he contains

nary cuDical dimensions, and to make
the seasoning complete must be added
20 Spoonsful of salt. If a man were
distilled into water he would make
about SO quarts, or more than half
his entire weight. He also contains a
great deal of starch, chloride of pot
, ash, magnesium, sulphur and hydro
chloride acid in his system.

part of Kansas City, at some dis

It is interesting to contrast the re-
Spouse made over the country to the
first draft with that of Larue county.
KY, where Abraham Lincoln was
born. It should be taken into account
that pure American stock is the pre-
vailing type of manhood down there,
the kind from which our martyred
president sprung. In most counties of
the United States from 80 to so per
cent of the young men were disquali-
fed physically and more than Is per
cent, claim exemption because of
defendants. The reason is given Just
as often by the rich as poor. The FAM
lily that had the disposition to get
along somehow while the bread-win-
ner was away is rare. Family consulta-
tons, were notalongthis patriotic line,
but rather to devise ways and means
of making it appear that father, son
or brother was the main and sole sup
port of all the rest of the family. The
greater portion are believedto have TAX
en- that means to attenpt to evade the
draft. Now let US consider the COM
munitywhere Lincoln was born Larue
county's quota for the national army
was 1872 men. Exactly 1872 men were
examined and everyone proved salts
factory from both physical and pa
triotic standpoint. They were all,
lank, lean and lively, just like Lin
coin, and all willing to fight that

people shall not perish from the
