thirty teams busy at work there.
They will continue for about
three weeks longer. This will

THE HUMAN SPINE.

Science Says Il Is Imperfect Because
Man Walks Upright.
According to the osteopathist, you do
not have perfectly formed spinal col
umn. for he Is firmly convinced that
no person in the world has a back that
is perfect. His ideal Is spine Of a
particular curve, whose twenty-four
bones are at equal distances apart, of
the same formation on both sides and
equally distant from the sides Of the
body.
The child's spine is much nearer nor
NAL and far straighter than the adults.
and the society woman who does no
work is more likely to have a back
whose curve comes nearer the ideal
than the college athlete. The spines Of
strong men. such as the laborer or
pugilist. are most defective. for the
reason that constant pull and strain
on the spinal column accentuate its
weaknesses. The Igorrotes. strong as
they are. have weaker and more crook
ed spines than civilized men.
The spines of lower animals are
stronger and more normal than ours
aud consequently are not so readily af-
fected by disease. II man had de-
cided to walk on all fours his spine
might be just as good as his cats or
dogs. Spinal trouble started when
our ancestors determined to walk up
right. and even after untold centuries
1t seems that the human spine has not
thoroughly adjusted itself to our meth

Romance Of Mountain Road Building
In the Pyrenees.
G. L. Preston in 1.-The Passes OF the
Pyrenees" quotes the story Of Felix
Armand, cure of St Martin-Lys, who
pierced road through the magnificent
Gorge de Pierre-Lys In order to bring
prosperity to his poverty stricken vii
lage. The cure himself marked out
the route, hanging like spider from
the end of a rope over the awful preci-
pieces of the Pierre-Lys. After i've
years incessant toll the workmen
reached the huge mass Of rock which
blocks the gorge near Belvianes." Still
he bravely melted his parishioners to
presevere until in 1871 the tunnel was
pierced which still bears the name
of lie Trou du Cure" The revolution
stopped the work, but after the reign
of terror the cure set TO work anew.
"A pity the man should be a priest"
said Napoleon when he heard Of Ar
mand's heroic efforts. 81 would have

The cures personal bravery was

to explode a muleteer was seen riding
round a corner. The priest instantly
sprang out and extinguished q slow

leave his flock and was buried at st

An Example of parina.

During the hottest fighting in the
Shipka pass the leading battalion of the
Russian General Dragomiroff's division
recoiled before a hailstorm of Turkish
bullets. The general was very stout
person and had the appearance of a
peaceful German professor. But when
he saw his men recoii he dismounted
and walked slowly to and fro along a
ridge swept by the enemy's bullets.
He was a hundred yards in advance of
the men. occupying the position they
had abandoned. After staying there
for awhile without being touched he
shouted back to the battalion: what
are You doing, you geese? Did you
think there was danger here? l don't
find any," The men responded with a
roar of cheers, doubled up to him and
charged so fiercely that the Turks were
forced to retreat

LEGENDS ABOUT DEW.
Curious Beliefs a. to It's Origin and
Varied Powers.


In many places dew is looked upon
as tears of the angels and of the souls
In purgatory, shed on account Of the
sins Of human beings upon earth, and
dew is collected to be used to cure GER
tain diseases, especially those of the
eyes, freckles, badness, cramps, open
wounds and cuts. rheumatism, skin
diseases, burns, etc.
The virtues of dew as beauty wash
are also well known, remarks the Jour-
nal of Religious Psychology. One leg
end tells how by licking the dew OF
the plants on a certain morning when
all the birds drink it one can learn
their language.
Another folk belief is that naked or
with only their shirts on the witches at
the time of the new moon collect the
dew from the grass with bark sleeves.
BY this means they deprive of their
milk the COWS that have been pastured
on the grass, and as soon as their
sleeves are full OF dew they know that
their pots at home are full of milk.
The Polish people of Wongrowitz call
the dew on which the birds are sup
posed to feed patasie mieko-i e..
birds milk"

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The
power of congress and the authority
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to remove discrimination caused
by state rates, which are much lower
than reasonable Interstate rates, was
broadly affirmed today when the COM
merce court sustained the commission
in prescribing rates from Shreveport,
La, to points in Texas The decision
will have a widespread bearing in aid
ing competition in territories where
shippers from two or more states
are interested.
The principle involved is that no
state may, by its state rate, impede
the flow of commerce from the other
states, or protect its own shippers
against outside competition.
