Minnesota Legislative Appropriation
for Roads and Bridges.

for Roads and Bridges.
st. Paul, July 10.-The supreme
court has declared the pork barrel"
bill unconstitutional without dissent
ing vote. The court held that the
bill was In violation Of the article in
the states constitution which forbids
the state being a party to the carry.
ing on of internal improvements.
Chief Justice Start wrote the opinion.
The attack on the appropriation of
100000 for roads and bridges, made
by the last legislature and divided
among the different counties of the
state, was made by Senator L. O:
Cooke Of Wabasha.
At the time the bill was passed he
objected to it and stated that he
thought it unconstitutional. After the
legislature had adjourned he retained
W. B. Douglas, former attorney gen.
eral, and petitioned the district court
for an injunction restraining State
Auditor Samuel G. Iverson from issu-
Ing warrants for the money appropri-
ated. The district court granted the
Injunction and the case was then
taken to the supreme court on a writ
of manda1nus. e.E
With the state road improvements
now ZIP in the air and no chance to
relieve the situation until the next
meeting of the legislature two years
hence the possibility of special ses-
sion of that body was put up to Gov
ernor Johnson, but he would not COM
NIT himself. He said he did not in
tend to cross any bridge until it was
reached.

Arms and the Wcn,an.

Did anybody ever see q ore armed. woman:" asked gray headed man ss he surveyed the afternoon parade. T never did. Almost every day ] meet one armed men. but I have yet to en- counter a woman with that pitifully empty sleeve. Are there no women who have suffered that mutilation {? If not, why not? And, if so, where are they?
 Yesterday heard 1t argued that there was no cause for q woman to lose an arm: that women do not go to the wars and are not engaged in occu- pations that are likely to carry away a part of their body. But that req soning is not sound. Many women work in mills and factories, and they are as liable to accidents in the streets and public conveyances as men. Ere quently they figure in these accidents; but, although men in the same situa- tion would lose an arm, women never do.
 What is the cause of their immunl. ky?''-New York Globe.

Thrty-four years later. i'll 1890, Dennis Papin add cd the piston to the marquis discovery. In 1898 Captain Savary devised and built a steam engine different in many details from those made by Worcester and Papin, and in 1705 Newcomb, Cav ley and Savary constructed their cele- brated atmospheric engine. which was complete In every detail.

Human Heart ae . Power Engine


 A great physician once remarked that, despite its complexity. there WAS no organ of the body reader 10 adapt itself 10 circumstances or more capa. ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This is very true, and an an- precia tion of that fact should cause us all the more carefully to follow the wise mans advice and to keep our heart with all diligence. When we have regard to the tremendous work the heart accomplishes We might well with Wesley say. Strange that harp of thousand strings should keep in tune so long" Estimated in scientific fashion, mans heart in twenty-foUr hours performs an amount of work which If represented by the energy de manded for big lift would raise 1.H tons of weight one foot high Su Il calculation can be accurately deter mined by measuring the force expend- cd in one beat or cycle of movement of the heart and multiplying the short work into that of the day. Thus in no small degree does the hearts labor contribute to swell the big total of the energy the human engine expends each day 1t lives.-New York World

Two Jokes on Frederick Warde.

During performance in the west by
Frederick Warde curious error was
made by the compositor who "set up"
the bill for 1.-The Tempest" The part
enacted by Warde was that of Pros
pero, rightful duke of Milan, and this
the compositor billed In this wise:
Prospero, Frightfu Duke of Milan....
Observation-Disclosures. Frederick Warde
Now, the player, who has keen
sense Of humor, was sufficiently struck
by the fun of the thing to forward a
marked copy Of the playbill to his
daughter, then in the east. Miss
Warde, too, was appreciative Of the
compositor's effort, for she sent her IA
ther the following note:
Dear Dad-Inasmuch as have seen the
performance. / fail to see wherein the
program was wrong.

Got the Signal.

Railway men-conductors, engineers
and brakemen-are so accustomed to
communicate with each other by
means of gestures that the habit Of
looking for such dumb signals be-
comes kind of second nature. In
this connection western railway off
cial tells of an amusing incident in
that part Of his state where it is so
common for cattle to be run over that
the manager of one "jerkwater" line
required his engineers to report all
such accidents, with full particulars
as to place, time and circumstance.
One day complaint was received at
headquarters that a valuable cow had
been killed on certain day and by
certain engine. The case was referred
to the proper department. but refer
ence. to the files showed that the en-
gineer had failed to report such. an
accident. Accordingly he was sent for
and asked why he had omitted to re-
port the matter.
II didn't know hurt the cow" he
said.
'"Then you remember hitting her"
eyes, and slowed up as she rolled
over on her back. But she waved her
feet for me to go ahead, and so con-
cluded she was all right."-Harper's
Weekly.
