Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these arc
deranged the organs which they supp with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When 1t is re-
membered that O serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below

THE VAGABONDS,

A Chapter from ''Civlization Civilized"

beneath a willow whose branches
shaded the silvery water of spring
They stood-a weaver, tailor,
halter, shoemaker and carpenter.
In the hollow of their palms, they
gathered up the waters to quench
their thirst--then drank again to
quench their hunger.
Then spake the weaver, saying:
Friends, you are ragged. My
brother the tailor and weave cloth
and make garments. We have
travelled one thousand miles seeking
chance to weave and sew. What
prevents us from covering you with
linen and broadcloth 2"
His hearers answered not, but
gased upon the sun, the waters, and
the land.
They thought in silence:--
1--WE are ragged. This weaver
and this tailor would like an oppor-
tunity to clothe us, yet cannot.

grandest system of railways and

Now, then, railroads being in de-
mand, here is the opportunity"
Immediately, an immense tumult
arose, and the gathering, which had
now swelled into countless sea of
people, swayed as storm at sea,
and amid the uproar you could hear
the words =

the immense throng crushed around
the engineer.
Waving his hand in token of
silence, the loud clamors subsidized,
and he said -
"Nay, good people, | myself am
seeking an engagement OF contract.
This being grand opportunity to

plenty, and railroads IN demand, |
thought there might be some one

"Bah !" they cried, and with
threatening scowls, drew away from
him as he replied =

of dilapidation-"as these we'll

Our wealth is confined solely to our
appearance. Is there no one here,
then, who can engage my friend the
surveyor and me ?"
Then there arose loud laugh of !
derision, and an editor, whose pa
per had failed because his patrons
were unable to pay, and one who
wrote much on such questions, said:
