plest postofrce in the world. Opposite

The church and general Christian
culture direct our thoughts and senti-

no facts of science, physical or mental
science, that positively reveal the "un-
seen world" There are certain cults,
esoterlc, so-called, that make special

Arms and Legs.

According to many measurements
made at the anthropological laboratory
In London the right arm in human be
ings is in a majority Of cases longer
than the left arm, while. on the con-
trary, the left leg is longer than the
right leg. Sometimes, however, tho
relative proportions are exactly re-
versed, but seldom does perfect equal
ity exist between the two sides. The
tendency of the right arm to exceed
the left arm In strength is sometimes
greater In men than in women, while
equality OF strength In the two arms
occurs almost twice as frequently with
women as with men.

beautiful music, the kind which Is

the artistic touch at myriads OF

Ale with it's rousing chorus is one
of the finest ensembles ever written.
The 'Armourer's Song is perhaps
the best loved of bravura songs, and
sung as it is in Robin Hood by a
flaming forge, the sparks flying
from the ringing anvil, its stirring
theme is never forgotten. My ex-
perience in hearing Robin Hood
was that 1 was completely charmed
by it's wealth of beauty, the abso-
lutte cleanliness of its theme, and
its clever run. 1 am sure that hear
