In recent study Of the anatomical
structure Of the neck was struck with
the remarkable fact that men and ami
mails alike are almost invariably pro-
yided with seven neck vertebr;e or seq
ments. Man thus Possesses this number
i'll common with the giraffe, whose ex-
traor,linary elongation of neck is pro-
duced. not by the introduction of other
veriebr;e, hut hy the greater length of
the normal number-Seven. The only
exceptions to this rule of seven are found
in two species of sloth, one of which has
six and the other nine vertebrP. and in
the sirenia or '.Sea cow" species of
whale. which is also provided with n six
segmented elonsation or extension of the
spinal column
In view of the fact that the seven in
vades every department of life, is it any
wonder that the orientalS have founded
regular system Of philosophy based mp
on that mystic number: st. Louis Re

The two states in which the colored
voters absolutely predominant in num-
bers are South Carolina and Mississippi.
In South Carolina there are lO2 900
white voters and 1872 900 colored voters.
In Mississippi there are 10000 white
voters and 10000 colorcd voters-a
colored majority Of 81. 900 in each state.
Louisiana has more white than colored
voters. but il has. on the other hand,
more colored voters native born than
white voters native born. These are the
figures: Colored voters. 10000: white
voters native BORN. 100000; foreign

Comparatively few persons have both
sides of the body Of perfectly similar
proportions. One leg or one arm i
shorter than the other. The two sides
of the head are often of unequal size.
Few persons have ears of an equal size
and symmetrically placed. The size and
position of the eyes vary. In the mouth
and throat also we find inequality. and
the cartilage separating the two nasal
cavities Is oftener DETECTED than ver-
tical.
This condition of inequality in the
two sides Of the body is called asvin-
metry
Those who have observed the effects
of school life ON body development must
have noticed the influence of habi,ual
posture on the symmetry and health Of
the body.
There Is tendency among school
children. and especially among school
girls, TO assume habi,ual postures both
in sitting and standing The habit Of
throwing all the weight of the body on
one leg produces a corresponding throw
ing Of the upper part of the body toward
the opposite side in order to establish
the necessary equilibrium. This tends
of course to curve the spinal column,
ON which the upper part of the body is
supported.
In this position the body and all the
internal organs are thrown out of their
normal vertical position, and the force
of gravity still further exaggerates this
result. Thus the muscles of the neck
are unevenly exercised in the uncon-
scious balancing of the head upon the
vertebral column. Even the muscles Of
the face tend To become unevenly con-
tracted. and this in time develops a con-
dition Of asymmetry of the face
