COUNTY BRIDGES.
February Is, 1906.

February ID. 1906.
EDITORS Evening Capital:
Several months since Mr. J. Writ
Randall, Of this city. published a
very interesting letter suggesting the
use of cement in building our county
bridges. At recent public meeting
Of prominent taxpayers Of the county
Mr.. James w. Owens suggested that
probably iron bridges should be large
iy used 20 take the place of the count
less and rapidly decaying wooden
bridges now in general use.
Mr. Paul Iglehart. an engineer Of
considerable experience aud skill and
think man Of high personal char
acter. has suggested to our commits
sioners who are trying TO do their
duty by the people of this county that
the new Spa bridge should be Of Zee
ment" and iron. / may be par
doued for "butting in or into this
bridge affair. but tax bills" are on
my mInd and ia my mind and any m an
or woman who has an idea or an item
that might help TO Tighten the burden
Of the gentlemen who have upon their
shoulders the vast interests of Anne
Arundel county, should contribute TO
the general welfare. how aver small
the item may De.
Years Of study, thought, reading
and observation hays convinced me
that in our county bridges Of wood,
as rule, must go, and be replaced
with cement or iron or in some in
stances the two combined. This is
called the cement age. What is c.
meat! There are many formulas,
roughly speaking" hydraulic ce-
ment, T" sand and water mixed with
broken stone or gravel are the mater
ials used. The rivers and streams Of
this wonderfully watered county make
bridges a necessity, and an everlasting
expense, but the same rivers furnish
sand and water for cementt work, and
when we'll done our children and our
children 5 children will enjoy them,
and naturally should pay some of the
bond interest. We all know that
for their cost our roads are bad and
our wooden bridges worse than our
roads. Let Us try a new departure
and build Spa bridge" at the best
point for the purpose of cement an
iron. THEN a few small bridges at
various POINTS as needed only then in
time we Will know by the best teach
er. experience, whether this new ma
terial is adapted 10 our needs and can
be attained by our means.
Respectfully.

Among the curious things in life few
are more amazing than the constitu-
tlonal peculiarities occasionally met
with. The professor who delivered the
Introductory address TO the students

1t well to put his audience on their
guard.
He instaneed two very singular cases.
One was that of man to whom rice In
any form was poison. Some friends
wished TO test this persons susceptible
ity, and at dinner surreptitiously got
him to partake of biscuits in each OF
which was a grain of rice. lie ate two
or three biscuits and soon after had to
leave the table, declaring that he was
being poisoned by rice, though he was
absolutely certain he had not partaken
OF any.
The other case was one in which the
Juice of gooseberry acted as power
full excitant and produced at once a
yirulent skin eruption. This man was
SO very susceptible that he could de
tect gooseberry juice even when 1t was
masqueraded as champagne. AT pub
lie dinner he whispered to his neighbor
that 1t was gooseberry wine they were
drinking. and as proof he turned up
his shirt sleeve and showed him the

How TO Cure STOPPING.

One OF the greatest and most com
mon deformities of the day, observes
q medical writer, is one that with care
and attention can be remedied. 1t Is
the round shouldered or STOPPING habit.
Many OF the most natural figures show
this tendency to stoop, while in the
narrow chested 1t Is marked TO pain
full degree. And yet by raising oneself
leisurely upon the toes In perpendicu-
lar position several times a day this
deformity could be easily rectified. To
do this properly one must be In per-
fectly upright position, the arms drop
ping at the sides, the heels well to-
gether and the toes forming an angle
OF As degrees. The rise should be
made very slowly and from the balls
of both feet. an1 the descent should be
accomplished In the same way without
swaying the body out of its perpen-
dlcular line. The exercise Is not an
easy one. but may be accomplished by
perseverance and patience. 1t can be
modified. too. by standing first on one
les, then on the other. Initiating and
raising the chest at the same time are
a part of the exercise, and If perse-
yered In win ultimately show an in
creased chest measurement, develop
ment of lung power and perfectly
straight and erect figure.-Pearson's
