The metals weigh altogether (11 stone, or 154 pounds, being taken as the standard weight of the whole body), something less than five pounds, nearly four of which are calcium, the basis of lime, supplying the chief part of 0e bones and teeth. Of iron there are slxty-fVye grains, a small amount, but very important as giving oolor to the blood. Among non-metallle dements, oxygen is the most Important, amounting to no less than 109 pounds, and next to this car- bos, weighing not quite nineteen pounds. Of phosphorus, which, If some physiologists are to be believed, supplies the motive power of the whole, there Is one pound, twelve eunees and twenty-five grains. The weight of water la the body, to speak of compounds, not elements, is almost exactly the same as that of oxygen in the other list. The practical science of food is, ef course, to keep up lbs supply of these substances to their normal quantity. It Is a great misfortune to have a fretful disposition. It takes the fra- ; gasses OBt of one’s life, and leaves only weeds wbere s cheerful disposi tion would cause flowers to bloom. The habit of fretting is one that grows rapidly unless It be sternly repressed ; the best way is to look oa the cheer ful aide of things.
