Why the Vizier Wept.

In the records of Bombases the sage it
is written that Pasha Ibraham of Sase-
man was the ugiest mortal in the east
SO ugly was he that his own reflection
in the mirror gave him fits.
Therefore he gave orders that never
should looking-glass be exposed within
the walls of his palace.
For a while all went we'll
But, alasI one day Ibraham Pasha and
Nampoor, his grand viZier. StrOlled forth
through the rooms of state, and. 10 and
behold, before them was Il costly mirror
in Il golden frame brought by French
merchant from foreign parts for barter,
And the pasha took one glance
1t was enough.
He saw his own face and forthwith
knelt down and wept,
And NampOor. his grand viZier. also
lifted up his voice, weeping grievously.
And they continued thus in tears for
the space Of four minutes
Meanwhile the mirror was removed.
Then IEaham Pasha dried his tears;
but Nampoor. his grand vizier, wept on.
Then spoke Pasha Ibraham unto Nam
poor, his grand vizier:
by the beard Of the prophet. this is
more than sympathy. After all, it is
my face and not thine | have ceased
my tears. Whyfore dost thou continue?'
But answered Nampoor. the vizier
Truly. thou speakeSt wisdom. 1t is
indeed thy face. But thou didst behold
it but for a moment whilst l. thy slave,

Forcing a Rate Struggle.

The ruling of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in regard to the Publication
of the ''shore end" of through rates on
freight bound to and from the Orient by
the American tranScontinental railroad
lines has not put these lines out of bust
ness. The Japanese steamship lines
which have been doing the ocean carry
ing for the American railroads are I'M
willing to lose business through the rub
ing, and win therefore make concessions
in rates TO offset the advances which will
have to be made on the land haul in or
der to bring the rates for this service
within range of sanction by the commits
sion. The Nippon Nusen KaiSha, a Japa-
nese line doing business on n large scale
ut Seattle, has announced a reduction of
II per cent. in its carrying rates, and the
other Japanese lines will doubtless con
form to the new level.
This action on the part of the Japa-
uese carriers takes from the Canadian
Pacific railroad an advantage that has
been a source of qualification to its of
ticialS and shareholders. and also TO the
Canadian people generally The Canadian

Anatomy for Beginners

Proceeding in a southerly direction
from the torso, we have the hips. usafnI
for padding, and the legs. The legs holI
up the body. and are sometimes used in
walking, but when riding in automobiles
they take up valuable space which other
wise might be employed to better nd
vantage.
Attached to the legs are the feet
Some varieties Of feet are cold some
people are born with cold feet, others
acquire cold feet, and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them.
The surface of the body is covered
with cuticle. which either hangs in
graceful loops or is stretched tightly
from bone to bone
On the face it is known as the com
plexion, and is used extensively for com
mercial purposes by dermatologistS
painters and decorators.
Between the cuticle and the bones are
the muscles. which hold the bones To-
