Costly Parssol.

A Paris man declares that $4,000 Is
the price one Of his wifes parasols
has cost him. Lately, while he was at
the seaside with his wife she ex-
claimed: OH ! have left my para
sol IN Paris" The husband was too
devoted to her to allow her to suffer
in the heat. so he bought her a hand
some one costing $40. After a while
he reflected that 500 was a good deal
for sunshade. Then the thought
flashed into his mind that perhaps he
might refund 1t at the Casino, and so
10 the Casino he wended his way. He
was lucky enough to win SIS at the
first go. But this did not satisfy him.
He wanted to win the $50; but instead
he lost $4,000, and finally the loss to-
tailed up to just $4,000. Then he gave
up in despair. The parasol had cost
him enough.

it was expected the back would
closely conform.
Let me utter a word of hope be-
fore we go further. While all spines
are defective, defective spine may
belong to a man who Is in fair
health IL he preserves it's mobility
that is. II the small bones ana
their cushions of cartilage that lie
between them move easily upon each
other and the spinal cord ghdes
easily in its bony sheath. The men,
ace to health Is in the stifened, un-
yielding spine that is associated,
for instance, with hardening OF the
arteries and old age.
A woman has a better spine than
a man. Two points Of excellence IN
a spine she has-a good curve OF
the lower or lumbar region, and mo-
bility. L. is amusing, In view OF the
facts, to note the exaggerated draw
ings of the female form made by
enemies of the corset. The curve
at the back of the waist, called the
hollow of the back" being very pro-
nounced, the lecturer points to this
as an evil wrought by the corset.
The truth 10 that this pronounced
curve, this "sway 80 to
speak, 10 an Index of health. The
spine being an indicator Of the body,
the marked curve shows the degree
Of the health of the woman and has
nothing whatever to do with the
wearing Of stays.
But the spine of the woman Is
more mobile. Its parts move more
easily upon each other and are more
resilient. They bound back into
place, as It we're, more easily than
mans. This Is the true reason why
women have greater endurance and
live longer than men. 1t Is a com.
mon situation for men and women
who have spent fifty years or more
of their lives together, under the
same circumstances of ease or of
hard work, to be separated by death
the man going first. Usually IN
such case the man dies at seventy
or seventy-flve, while the woman
lives to be eighty or eighty-five
years. Her better spine prolongs
her life ten or fifteen years.

strong as are those primitive folk
from the Philippines. all have
weaker and more crooked spines

The old-and wrong-theory has
been that were a plumbline dropped
from the middle of the crown of
the head 1t would fall within the
spine and extend to the exact mid
die point between the soles of the
feet. But this does not hold, espe-
cially since no two backs are alike

respect from all the others. There

In the lower animals. Cats and dogs
and the lower grade of monkeys
have backbones that are admirable
IL their configuration and their
functions. But as we ascend In the
scale of animal life the spine be-
comes more and more imperfect.
Nc living being to-day has a perfect
back.
The medical profession has
dreamed a dream of perfect back

structure that supports us erect, as
a succession of twenty.four bones at

and all those who have this con-
cept of a so-called straight back"
have localized our twenty-four YER

spine as they picture.
They have made a mistake as
serious as the machinist would make

is our weakest part. And the spine,
itself a marvellously constructed
machine, has. in its turn, its weak
est points. The knowledge of where
these points are is important to
every one.
The old and long continued con.
ception of the spine is that II we
draw a circle and cut from 1t any
segment, that segment will repre-

an utter mistake. I draw such a
circle. I cut from it a segment.

endeavor to comply with these re-
quests, wrote the State superintend-
ent of education, requesting that he
send me some copies, to be furnished
trustees, and have received the follow
ing letter, which explains itself:
"As you already know, the 1912 ses-

new compilation of the code. The
publication of this work was entrust-
ed to the code commissioner and the

publish the school law until the code

ty, or incorrect edition sent out from
this Office would0do injustice to every
one connected with it's publication. l
am doing my utmost to furnish the
pamphlet at the earliest possible mo-
ment, but up to this time 1 shave not
been able to secure an advance sheet
of that section of the Code dealing
with free public education.
"Your experience as a law-maker,
and your intimate knowledge of pub
lie affairs, will enable you to under
stand this situation fully.
