And girded them for strife, then fioated forth
Above the conquering armies Of the north
That standard which the stored legend bore
OF him who slew the dragon. Nevermore
Those hideous fangs should tear their human

Since good incarnate henceforth should hold

Der evil vanquished, prone to rise no more.
Yet still, from age to age, the hydra heads
OF the slain dragon rise from out the dust.

THE BICYCLE SPINE.
this Is the New Disease That Threatens
the Scorcher.


The "bicycle spine" is the latest disease
found to afilict the cyclist
Medical men are now taking decided
stand against the humpback position
which is directly responsible for the curva.
ture That they have not done so before is
probably due to the fact that most physi-
clans only recently acquired personal
knowledge of the wheel and the errors it's
abuse leads TO-
1t is claimed by all cyclers that this
"hump' is absolutely necessary TO secure
the speed that they desire The handle
bars must be low and the saddle high in
order to increase the momentum by the
natural inertia of the moving body
Bchat a famous French anatomist
first discovered that adult spines curved
little toward the right side and explained
the fact by showing that there was more
strain upon the muscles of the right side
in consequence Of the right hand being
more active than the left, and Beclard sub
stantiatcd this theory by several cases
where the curvature was directed toward
the left in persons who were left handed.
In bicycling the strain is fairly even up
on the muscles of the back and sides, but
it is to the vertebrP, or bones of the spine,
that this continued STOPPING brings great
danger.
The anterior or inner surface of the nor
NAL spinal column describes n slight curve
from the first dorsal to the first lumbar
vertebra, or that portion of the spine ex-
tending from the top Of the shoulder blades
10 about the line of the belt, and it is this
curve that becomes gradually more and
more prominent in the back of the long
distance cycler or scorcher"
But it is not in the curve itself that the
real bicycle spine" develops The notice,
able curving of the bones in the dorsal re-
gon is but a symptom, while the real trou-
bic lies both above and below. The stoop-
ing position, long continued, has been
quietly sappug and exhausting the nutri-
ment from the pulpy interior of the cush-
ions or intervertebral disks, which are shap-
ed exactly like and placed exactly between
the bodies OF the spinal vertebre. From
soft, spongy bodies they have become dry
and hardened cartilages and as their elias
ITCHY diminshcs the bones of the spine
draw closer together, thereby aggravating
and charging the normal curvatures.
This drying of the intervene bral sub
stance is most marked in the lumbar and
cervicu regions of the spine, and as these
bones draw nearer together they force the
natural curve Of the intermediate or dOr>al
region to more prominent proportions,
just as one would compress the two ends
of hit of whalehoue until curve Is pro-
duccd in it, center.
All healthy persons are a trinc shorter
in stature at night than wncn they arise
from their beds i'm tine morning. and this
also is due To exactly the same conditions.

In operation the system Ia perfectly
simple: Mrs. A. in Canton has written

the time saved by having box in which
the carrier can leave mail without haviny Z
to wait for tardy servant to answer his

ALIENS DEFENSE.

Ne Denies That the Sovereign State oi
Nebraska Would Repudiate Contracts
Made With Eastern Creditors-Ouay's
Remark Regarding Senatorial Fight.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Mr. Allen
(Pop., Neb.) has addressed the senate
on a resolution introduced by himself
last week, declaring the inviolability OF
contracts. The speech was largely q
refutation Of charges made by Senator
Hoar in recent address before the
Home Market club in Boston.
Mr.. Allen said that neither Kansas,
Nebraska, nor any other state which
had returned Populist electors was on
that account to be classed as revolu
tionary and regardless of the sacred
nature Of legal contracts and obliga-
tions. He assured eastern stockholders
in western railroads that they had moth.
ing to fear and said western Judges
were equal in justice and intelligence
to those of the east and would hold the
balance fairly between residents and
non-residents, They would prevent
over capitalization and wild and reck.
less management of corporations, but
would be impartial in the enforcement
Of both the letter and spirit of the law.
Mr.. Hoar's reply, delivered with
much calmness, partook of the nature
OF rebuke at the suggestion that the
Nebraska senator voiced the position of
the Populist party. He had supposed
senators entered this chamber to repre-.
sent their states, not to represent po-
htical parties. This was a new and
grave change. The senate was sup.
posed 70 be above political parties,
which, after the clamor and heat of po-
litical contest, settled questions on their
merits without reference to political
contests. The proposed change was not
consistent with the dignity and the
character of the senate. Mr.. Hoar dis.
claimed having made illusions during
the campaign TO the Populists OF Ne
braska. He had said that the advocacy
OF shifting and constantly shrinking
standard of value for the currency was
passionate crusade of dishonor." and
he continued to hold that view.
Mr.. Allen answered that for the last
four years, while he had been in the
senate, not day passed that parties
were not represented in the senate and
no one had been more active in that re-
spect imam the senator from Massachu.

theory OF the resolution. 30 that little
delay might aid its prospects.

UNSELFISH LOVE.
New York Architect Starves to Death
That His Wife Might Have
Food

New York, December 15.--(Special. y
Theopbile Le Blanca Canadian architect,
died Of starvation this morning in the in
sane ward Of Bellevue hospital. For
weeks he went hungry that his wife,
whom he idolized, might have food, and
the full story Of his self-dsnial Is one Of
the most pathetic that ever came to light
In this city. LIE Blanc and his wife came
to this city six years ago and lived In
moderate luxury for two years afterwards.
Work became less plentiful, however, and
LIE Blanc soon found himself and his
family without the necessities of life.
They lived at No. 81s East Twenty
ninth street In few rooms kept neat and
clean by the wife. Pitiful poverty came
to the two who had known no want before
and matters went from bad to worse,
During the last six months Ls Blanc
managed to secure small jobs. No sooner
had he received the money for them than
no purchased food and carried 1t t. his
wife, Eerything the little sum would
buy he gave to her and watched her eat It,
He refused to touch morsel, saying
that he must watch for the health Of his
wife before caring for himself. When
she asked him to eat he said that his ap-
petite was gone, or that he had met a
friend, who had invited him TO dinner
So, by one subterfuge ana another, he
refused to take food from the mouth Of
the woman he SO unselfshly loved. A
month ago the neighbours noticed that the
ma, was growing emaoiated. They

she knew, and LIE Blanc was moved to
the hospital in consequence. Shortly
after he reached the hospital, LIE Blanc
began talking about forty four-story
buildings, and devisiug plans for them.
Then he was placed in the insane ward.
His mind had given way completely, the
doctors said, on account Of insufficient
nourishment This morning he died.
