WALKING SOLDIERS.

Every one knows that when soldiers
cross a bridge they are ordered TO break

many feet Shall not endanger the safety
OF the structure. Now an army surgeon
of France has discovered that the brain

is as trying on the human frame as such
marching is on the structure OF n bridge.
To the regular repetition OF a shock TO
bones and fraim caused by this uniform
and long-continued marching are due tho
peculiar aches, pains and illness OF The
troops On a one-day march. he says,
this shock is repeated 10000 times. and
often the strongest men who can walk
the same distance without trouble when
not In line succumb TO the strain IN. two
or three days. Therefore this surgeon
proposes as remedy the use Of rubber
heels. This device has been tried In the
French infantry with great success.
But our army has better plan than
that. We simply break the, step with the

men march in columns OF fours at the

to express a regret that our
city board of commissioners
could not adopt the business
like method of calling an elec-
