THAT cholera now seems con-
fined to one portion of the city and
the number of cases, as well as the
mortality rate is greatly reduced
raises the cloud of gloom and threat
and apprehension. A stubborn re-
sistance is being made by the plague
but while its retreat is gradual It is
marked and certain. 1t loses
ground that it can never recover.
Soon it will be stamped out entire
". The terrible fear or terror has
subsidized. With the control oil the
water and food supplies the health
authorities have the reins. Water
is the chief media of contagion.
There must be issued to the people
aud against cholera an ample fund
of water that cannot be contamin'
ated. The surface deposits are
ever and always a menace.

HOW WE WALK.
TIE Muscles Used and the Mechanical Work
That They do.

TIE Muscles USED ana the Meohahioh WORK
That They Do
The chief muscles concerned in walk
ing are those i'll the calf and back Of
leg, which, by pulling up the heel, also
pull up the bones of the foot connected
with it, and then the whole body, the
weight of which is passed ON through
the bones of the leg. When walking,
the trunk is thrown forward so that 1t
would fall down PROSTATE were not the
right foot planted i'll time to support 1t.
The calf muscles are helped III this ac-
tion by those on the front of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk, slanting
forward when the heel is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body Will be
raised and pushed forward and upward.
This advancement of each leg is effect
ed partly by muscular action the mus.
Giles used being tl) those on the front OF
the thigh, bending it forward on the
pelvis; (2) the hamstring muscles, which
slightly bend the leg ON the'thlgh; (3)
the muscles on the front OF the leg,
which raise the front OF the loot and
toes, preventing tho latter, III swinging
forward, from hitching in the ground.

ORIGIN OF CANARlES.
A Ship From the Canary Islands Intro
duoed Them To Italy.

About $50 years ago ship returning
from the islands In the Atlantic, which
people then called the Fortunate isles but
which were undoubtedly the Canarics,
went ashore on the coast Of Italy near
Legnorn. a cage Of beautiful birds cap
tured in these islands was broken, and the
birds were liberated Through some ca
price they did not take refuge on the ltal,
ian mainland, but went 10 the island OF
Elbc, where in due time, they ncstcd and
bred and increased i'm numbers. The ltal-
ians discovered that they were admirable
singers and began 10 capture them and
sell them in cages.
This gave rise TO a traffic which soon
completely cleared the island Of Elbe OF
canary birds, so that not one was left there
in "A wild state From that time the his
tory OF the canary has been one of perpet-
ual imprisonment and of the transGorma-
ton of his appearance and character. He
has become what may be called an artifi-
cial bird Every nation Of Europe has pro-
duCcd u canary of a special type. In the
natural state of canaries as they still exist
in the Canary islands and other Atlantic
islands, the birds are of ~ grayish green
or grcensh brown color and are not re
markable for beauty, but they are such
energetic singers that they have been
known to break che membrane of their
Threats in pouring forth their song.
Now and then the birds are taken in a
wild state in these islands and sold for
good prices In Europe or America But
the ordinary canary Of commerce is the
offspring of captive stock and has been
greatly modified by breeding. Canarics,
however, have been crossed with linnets,
fnchcs and other birds until their real race
is uncertain. Canaries are now known as
German, " French " Belgian, " Eng
fish, " "Tyroleso" and so on, according TO
the forms and colors that have been pro-
duccd in them Tho Belgian canaries are
sometimes eight inches long and are re-
markablo for the elegance of their form
and rich orange color.
French canarics are light in color.
Some canarics which are entirely white
command high price. The Germans and
Tyrolcsc on the other hand, breed more
for beauty Of song than Of plumage. Many
OK the birds have been trained by being
kept in tho dark in the hearing of the
nightingaleS TO initiate these wonderful
singers.
Tho English bird is more remarkable
for plumagc than song. To be highly eS-
tecmcd it must havc n head and body Of
bright orange, while its wings and tail
must be black. a single wrong feather
will diminish the value of the bird. EXhi-
billions Of canarics are regularly held in
the Crystal palace, and no canary has Il
chance OF winning n prizo unless it be
properly marked with black wings and

GOOD ROADS SUGGESTIONS
4 Solution of the Problem Nay BE FounA
In State Aid and County Control.

j Is comparatively easy matter TO
provide roads IN pOpulous, wealthy dis
tricts, where land is occupied by SUBJ
urban residents and is worth 81, 900 an
acre, as is the case in some Of tho coun-
ties in many Of our states, Immediately
adjoining the larger cities. The people
in these sections really desire good
roads. a fair tax upon the value Of their
property will secure them. They are
:eady not only to pay such q tax will
Ingly, but arc quite willing to contribute
voluntarily toward the road fund when
practical results are apparent.
The conditions are entirely different
when you come TO farming community
where land is worth $50 an acre and
where the burden of taxation for county,
poor and school purposes is as large as
the ordinary farmer can bear, but even
in such q community the conditions are
more favorable than when you go into
all undeveloped region where population
Is sparse, where the country is noun.
famous, where the grades are steep and
whore taxable property reaches the min
imum.
How Will you make general law t.
reach three communities whose interests
are so diverse and apparently so irrec'
oncilable; 1t is plain that town or coun-
! ~ control cannot apply with equal force
and effect to three such localities where
the value of taxable property ana the
physical features of the country are so
diverse. Or face another difficulty: How
will you provide by state legislation for 5
uniform system of roads where III most
sections Of the state good road material
is abundant and in some counties of it
scarcely Il stone can be found?
What is this common ground? How
shall we meet the difficulties which have
been herein suggested? 1t would seem,
with short experience of the state OF
New jersey under her well considered
net Of April II, 1891, as amended
March 30, 1892, that county control
supplemented by state aid will meet the
difficulties which exist in most Of the
older states. County control i'll the lay
