MATERIALS IN A MAN YOU CAN BUY THEM ALL IN ANY FIRST CLASS DRUG STORE. A Scientific Analysis of the Chemical Compounds of Which a Human Body Is Made—Man When Reduced to Water, Powders and Gas. You can go to a drug store and buy all the materials to make a man. If the reader does not care to incur the expense of purchasing the materials with which to make a man it may at least be interesting to study the chemical composition of the human body as exhibited at the National museum. This will personally appeal to the man who is five feet eight inches high and weighs 154 pounds, as the exhibit at the museum represents the elements and their quantities in the body of an average healthy man of that height and weight. These compounds are placed in a glass case, the collection consisting of thirty-two bottles, jars and boxes, labeled and set on shelves. Man does not show to advantage when reduced to water, powders and gas. but he is worth attention not only from a scientific viewpoint, but as a moral lesson. The chemical compounds of which our bodies are made up are shown by analysis to consist mainly of thirteen elements. Five of these when uncombined with other elements are the gases oxygen,. hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine and fluorine. The remaining eight are solid substances, three of which are nonmetals—carbon, phos- I phate and sulphur—while the other five are metals—iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Besides these thirteen elements are minute quanti- ’ ties of a few others, as silicon, manga- ' nese and copper. This scientific analysis differs radically from the nurse lore i theory that boys—and presumably men I —are made of “snaps and snails and puppy dog tails” and can be relied on ‘ as an official table of your contents, provided you are a man of 154 pounds. The inspector of the museum’s exhibit on man first takes note of a jar , of reddish powder. The label tells one that it is phosphorus, of "which a person contains a pound and a half.; The specimen owes its lurid hue to t long exposure. In its natural state it i is soft, waxy and so inflammable that to prevent spontaneous -combustion it | is preserved underwater. United with • oxygen it forms phosphoric acid, which In turn combined with calcium, as phosphate of lime, is an important constituent of bone. Phosphorus also oc-| curs in the brain and nerves. Next . to the jar is a chunk of sulphur the size of an egg. It is found in various parts of the body, notably in the bones and teeth. The next bottle contains what looks to be 5 cents’ worth of darning needles. It represents one-, tenth of an ounce of iron, an important constituent of the red coloring matter of blood. The visitor next learns that his body includes three pounds and thirteen ounces of calcium, which incidentally may -explain any hankering he may have for the limelight. This calcium is a yellowish metal, somewhat harder than lead. It is the basis of lime and occurs throughout the body, principally as bones and teeth, ip thg form of. phosphate. On another jar one reads: “Potassium, • a soft metal, easily cut with a knife! and showing a silver white luster. When thrown on water it decomposes I the water, combiiiing with the oxygen with such avidity that the hydrogen, | i se * jftkes fire. It is the basis of , potash and occurs in the body prin-' cipally as chloride and phosphate.”, Naturally you know this must all be , so, but appearances are against it. The specimen does not in the least look like “a soft metal with a silver white luster.” It is the living image of two ppunds of shop worn dates, the ' appearance of it being due to exposure no doubt. j In a154 pound human body ate nine-ty-seven pounds of oxygen, which,' would if set free fill a space of nearly 1,090 cubic feet. The body also carries fifteen pounds of hydrogen, which if allowed to escape would fill a corresponding area. One should be partic-, ularly glad to know about this gas, because it explains where spellbinders ■ get their supplies. The specimens of i these gases are compressed in bigj glass jars that look sweaty inside, but otherwise are apparently empty. Hydrogen, like carbon, is burned in the body by uniting with oxygen, thus serving as fuel. The water produced is given off in the respiration through the lungs and as perspiration through the skin. On the bottom shelf, along with other specimens, .is a tin box containing thir-ty-one pounds of anthracite coal. It represents that amount of carbon in a human body. Carbon combines with oxygen. In this combination heat and force are generated and carbonic acid gas formed. The carbon taken in the body in food is burned in this* way by the oxygen of the inhaled air, yielding heat to keep the body warm add force muscular strength for work. The carbonic acid gas is given out by the lungs and skin. Carbon thus serves as fuel for the body and is its most important fuel element. Then there are the fats, twenty-two and one-fourth pounds out of 154. Human fat consists of stearin, palmitan and olein, with varying portions in different parts. On a card may be read: “The so called complex fats, protagon, lecithin, cerebrin and others, resemble' the neutral fats. The quantity is not l definitely known, but is supposed to amount to about twelve ounces.' These fats are very difficult to obtain, and only small specimens are shown, with special labels. They occur chiefly in the brain, spinal cord and nerves, though found in other parts.” 1 Byway of illustration there are jars • packed with tallow that account very

naturally for the' mutton headed 'people who oppose our views. A small jar contains what looks to be a smear of black molasses. It is a specimen of lecithin, which occurs in one’s brain and which is also found in the yolk of an egg. Another little dab of something is labeled “cerebrin,” a complex /at from the brain and spina) marrow. Glycogen, still another little mess, is an animal starch from the liver, and inosite is a kind of sugar obtained from the muscles. This is also found in plants. A large jar is labeled “gelatinoids.” and you read Jhat a man weighing 154 pounds contains about nine pounds and fourteen- ounces, the amount shown. Gelatinoid compounds resemble in chemical composition and properties the gelatin used in cooking, and that is precisely what it looks like. The thirteen pounds of albuminoids contained in a man who touches the scales at 154 resemble so much yellow cornmeal, well ground. As to the speck of ugly brown stuff near by. you would never guess what it stood for if the label did not explain that it was “hemoglobin, the red coloring matter of blood, very difficult to obtain,” and a small specimen of which is shown, together with one pound and two ounces of dried blood to represent the probable quantity of hemoglobin in the blood of an ordinary man. Hemoglobin serves as the carrier of oxygen in the blood from the lungs to all parts of the body. If you are a 154 pound man you contain forty-six quarts of water universally distributed ip your body. No chemical analysis of a human body has eVer been made, but from analysis of the different parts the amounts of the more important compounds may be approximately estimated. When one has read the labels, counted the jars and looked the outlay over the conclusion is reached that man has as many ingredients as a mince pie. One will always know after this that when he dies it is because nature has gone on a coal strike or that hemoglobin is asleep at the switch. Right before one’s eyes are the pinch of this and the sprinkle of the other that make a brain—or an egg yolk—and in another bottle is the nasty little smear of brown stuff that gives the heart’s blood its crimson—the brain and the heart that have ruled this world since Adam. The visitor says to himself as he leaves the case: “Science may have here all the materials for making a man, but there is only one chemist who can put them together. His name Is God.”—Washington Star, ■ . ' i ' -4. PLAYING CARDS. The Figures They Bear and "What They Are Supposed to Represent.— j There are but few persons, even among the antiquarians and students in general, wfitq have the least idea of the significance of the figures on playing cards. In very early times the four suits represented the four principal trades followed by the people, and the figures on the cards were supposed to be symbolic of the same. The heart was the symbol of the choiror ecclesiastics, and in all early packs, besides the figure of the heart, 1 each card also bore a rude picture of a monk’s cowl or of his cloak and crooked staff. Some authorities say that the Cttt Os the early monkish cloak was in the form of a heart and that the figure used today is but a representation or picture of that portion of the old prelate’s wearing apparel. The “spade” is really a pike, or spearhead, and was originally the trademark of the soldiery, typifying the nobility of that very important branch of ancient “industry.” The artisans in general were represented by either a Mason’s arch or by a diamond shaped roofing tile. The former : being somewhat unhandy to properly figure, gradually gave way to the tile, which'ls still usej and called a “diamond” because Os its - shape. The farmers, or great class of agricultural laborers, were given their symbol, which was originally <• a wheat head, or sheaf of wheat bound up with the common straw band. As clover gradually became the chief forage grass of the agriculturists, they adopted a single leaf of that plant as their card symbol. A figure of this useful species of trefoil is still used and is called a “club,” but why no one knows. The four kings were originally David, Alexander, Caesar and Charles magne, representing the four greatest monarchies. Authorities differ as to the queens, but the preponderance of the evidence is in favor of the opinion that they are Arglne, Judith, Esther and Pallas. The knaves, or “jacks,” are supposed to be rude caricatures of ancient assassins, or general all around villains, whose names have been lost in the many centuries that cards have been used in games of chance and amusement. An Egyptian’s Reasoning. Some years ago an Englishman was coming down the river Nile, in Egypt, on a large boat loaded with grain, and the birds came off from every village and ate the grain piled on the deck. The Englishman asked the Egyptian captain of the boat, “Who owns this grain?” The Egyptian captain said, “I own it.” Then the Englishman asked why he let the birds eat up' the" grain. The Egyptian asked the Englishman, “Who made the birds?” The Englishman answered, “God.” The Egyptian asked whether grain was a food which God intended birds to eat The Englishman said it was. The Egyptian said, “Can the birds sow and raise the grain for themselves?” The Englishman said, “They cannot.” Then said the Egyptian: “Let them eat. God has provided enough for both them and I

"* ""'weaieUie'' Throw out opium, said Dr. Holmes, 1 which the Creator himself seems to prescribe, for we often see the scarlet poppy growing in the cornfields, as if 1 it were foreseen that wherever there 1 is hunger to be fed there must also be pain to be soothed: throw out a few I specifics which our art did not discover and is hardly needed to apply; throw out wine, which is a food and the vapors which produce the miracle of anaesthesia, and I firmly believe that If the whole materia medica as now used could be sunk to the bottom of i the sea it would be all the better for I mankind and all the worse for the fishes. The shortest system of medical praci tice that I know of is the oldest, but not the worst. It is older than Hippocrates, older than Chiron the Ceni taur. Nature taught it to the first : mother when she saw her firstborn child putting some ugly pebble or lurid i berry into its mouth. I know not in i what language it was spoken, but I ' know that in English it would sound i thus: “Spit it out!” When You Write Abroad. , In writing to France or Italy, a posti master pointed out the other day, the i address should be printed, for the i printed characters of French, Italian . and English are alike, but of the writ- , ten ones this is not true.

Our Cis taken , for-a T abroad. Our Tis taken for I i or J. It is important therefore to print , instead of to write proper names on . foreign letters. A letter .addressed in . writing to, for instance, a man named Treat would be thought by the French . and Italian to be addressed to Ireat, . and in the general delivery department , of the postoffice it would be placed in the I instead of in the T compartment. Thus when Mr. Treat called for his i mail a search of compartment T would . reveal nothing for him, and his letter, hidden among the I’s, would never be , delivered. • | Made tbe Bear Work. , Bill Winters uses his wit to save his ’ strength.

Two hours later the men in camp saw Bill runJ • - ■ ning down again as fast as he could come, and close behind him was a bear. The men watched the chase, with loaded rifles ready.
