Lorena Drg toe WHEN WE '7AND UFRiGHT, A Special Complex -MeehIanipin Ena bles Up to Do It. We are so nceustomed to standing upright as a natural attitude that few of us think what a special complex mechanismi is required for this pur pose. A moment's consideration will show that the ordinary explanation of the erect position (the center of gravi ty to be directly above the feet) is in sutliclent. When a man is suddenly shot. whether from the front or behind, he drops on his face, for the truth is that there is much more weight in the front of the spinal column than be hind it. The fact is that when we are stand ing a iarge number of powerful mus eles (both front and back) are simul taneously at work, the effects of their action being to neutralize each other. Thus the legs would fall forward were it not that they are kept vertical on the feet by the strong tendon (the "Achilles") at the back of the heel. At the same time the muscles of the thigh are tightened so as to prevent us taking a sitting position, and the mus cles of the back are pulled tense so that the trunk does not stoop forward. The head is prevented from dropping on the chest by the ligaments in the nape of the neck. That the upright is not its normal position is easily shown by the fact that a man nods as he is falling asleep, for as soon as the controlling nervous force is deadened the head drops for ward by its own weight, only to be pulled back into position again with a jerk when the brain becomes sud denlv aware of an unusual attitude. C A 3 O 3EM "E AM . Bears the . Kind You Hae Always Bought of His Working Clothes. Lord Ellenborough once reproved a bricklayer for coming to be sworn In his usual habiliments. "When you have to appear before this court it is your bounden duty to be clean and decent In your appearance." "'Upon my life, if It comes to that," said the bricklayer, "I'm every bit as well dressed as your lordship." "flow do you mean, sir?" exclaimed the chief justice angrily. "Well, It's just this. You come here in your working clothes, and I come in mine." It was very seldom, however, that anybody got the better of Lord Ellen borough. A witness dressed In a fan tastical manner and who had given dis creditable evidjence was asked In cross examination what he was. "I employ myself," he said, "as a surgeon." "But does any one else," Inquired the chief justice, "employ you as a surgeon?" Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat. lhzdapest.

It lies In wait, perhaps in some creek, with its jaws extended in front and open. Perhaps a school of killies comes along, and It may be that a killie on the outskirts of the school may swim un suspectingly along through the clear water between the upper and lower parts of one of the motionless open claws of the crab. When 't is well within them the claw suddenly snaps together and that particular little killie goes no farther. CASTORI A -Tor Infants and Children.

Nerve of a Stowaway. The captain of a Mediterranean liner was talking about stowaways. "Most of those fellows," he said, "have an excessive quantity of cheek of brass. Once we discovered a stow away a few days out from New York and put him to work in the galley. A lady on a tour of inspection paused by the stowaway as he sat pe'inag po tatoes. "'How soon do you think we'll reach Naples?' she said to him. "'Well, madam,' he replied, 'I'm do ing all I can to get her in by Tues day.' For Biliousness and Sick Headache.

The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Propr. - The Moon's Phases.. The phases of the moon are caused by its relative position to the earth and the sun, so that when it is full moon in one part of the earth it Is full moon In all parts of the earth, and so for all its other phases. The moon revolves around the earth once in twenty-seven days, though on account of the earth's revolution around the sun the mean duration of the lunar month-that is, the time from new moon to new moon -is twenty-nine days, twelve hours and forty-four minutes. The "dark of the moon" is that half of the lunar month during which the moon shines least at night. The End of the World of tronble that robbed E. H.

Dr. Holmes' Revenge. When "The Last Leaf" was publish ed by Oliver Wendell Holmes a Critic attacked it savagely and cruelly. Dr. Holmes, though importuned by friends, did nothing in revenge. He waited for time to avenge him, which time did liberally. The critic fell upon evil days and ended his existence with sui cide. The only morceau of personal revenge which the good doctor allowed himself was to cut out the paragraph about his enemy's career and paste it In his scrapbook on the same page which contained the original criticism and the announcements of the succes sive editious of the poem. This was a mild revenge, but even this was un worthy of Dr. Holmes. Itching Piles.

The curious little animals known as flying lizards (Draco volans) are only found in Java, and their strange ap pearance -Is supposed to have been the origin of the dragon of the mediaeval eastern imagination.
