SI 6 Hon. Henry M. Edwards, Who Accepted Trust Fund for Judges of Common Pleas Co.urt. In all the cemeteries where the soldier dead lie sleeping, impressive services were conducted and fforal wreaths, mute tributes of respect and love were placed upon the mounds. Then fell the eloquent tributes to the departed heroes, and the final salute fired by the gun squad of gray haired veterans, now fast approaching the zenith of life, yet filled with military ardor and love of country.

It was a most pathetic and impressive scene, one long to be remembered by the younger generation to whom the stories of the great struggle for the preservation of the union are as legends of the long ago. As the years go by the ranks of the brave boys in blue grow thinner and they who are left while they lose the vigor of their younger days, lose not that patriotic fire which burned in their breasts when they received the news of the fall of Fort Sumpter and the efforts to divide the United States into two rival governments. The soldiers do not forget, but they long ago forgave, and extended the nf. olliwehin. to thn iyw cal cemeteries they received the same tribute to their valor and chivalry as did the boys in blue, and so they went from grave to grave and from cemetery to cemetery on their mission of love.

STORIES OF THE POPE.

Saintly as he is, the pope Is very hu man, even jocular, when It so pleases him. The bishop of Acequi, who has just returned from a visit to the sovereign pontiff, tells this anecdote. The pope asked the bishop to dine with him. After dinner his holiness smoked a Turkish cigarette, to which he is very partial. The bishop, noticing the kind of to bacco, said: "Does your holiness really smoke Turkish cigarettes?" "Yes, my dear friend," answered the pope smiling.

"Up to this time I have been unable to Christianize them." The bishop says, too, that the pope's sisters wish to sell the old Inn at Rlese, which they Inherited from their parents and which has been their source of income for years. The aged I women urged on their brother that they have ample means now to meet their modest needs. But a stronger argument, as they thought, proved very unconvinclngly. They insisted that It was undignified for the relatives of the pope to be innkeepers to peasants. But his holiness Informed them that he disapproved of their purpose, saying: "Honest labor never has, never can, disgrace anyone." Madrid Correspondence Philadelphia Second.

After the storm of Friday, everyone hoped that Memorial Day would set in with sunshine, and no dust roaming about the streets to blind the many holidaymakers, but lo, the day opened frowningly and rain fell gently at frequent intervals throughout the day.

This day Justly paid its tribute of respect to the memory of the brave that have passed away, heroes of our Nation, the men who laid down th'jir lives for their country. Maybe that Nature desired to Join in the tribute and she shed many a tear of sor. ow for the dead.

He said in part: "In all my life of long service as a clergyman these are the most impressive services for the dead that I have ever attended. Never have I seen so many vacant chairs at a single service. "But there is one thing which we may be thankful for. It is that the men who have fallen, are bound to us by the closest ties, stronger than any other tlejj in this world.

D. B. Atherton, chairman of Admiral Dahlgren section, No. 31, Navy League of the United States, was the master of ceremonies and In a manner that did him credit Mr. Atherton carried through the programme.

There was 10 delay and every event moved alor.g rapidly and in a dignified manner. After the assembly, had been sound ed by the bugler, Comrade Berge, of Ezra Griffln post, E. K. Roden, secre tary of the Navy League, then unfurled the flag at the top of the flag pole, the ban.d playing the "Star Spangled Banner" the while.

Margaret Gibbon. Col. F. h. Hitchcock accepted the wreath In behalf of the members of Ezra Griffln post, paying a tribute to the men who had fought by land and by sea.

The address of acceptance fairly seethed with patriotic sentiment well expressed. Two hundred boys and girls, under the leadership of Miss Mackey, prin cipal, and Miss Mary DeGraw, a teacher In public school No. 35, played an important part in the concluding number of the programme. The children marched around the lake until they forrtied a semicircle, the girls on one side and the boys upon the other. At a signal from the teachers the children broke out In singing "America," and at the end of the first verse the boys stepped forward throwing flags upon the lake while the girls strewed the cut flowers.

The ac tion of the children In throwing the flowers and flags upon the waters of the lake was significant of the many sailors who have been burled In watery graves. By a sailor from the United States ship Brooklyn, a bugler, the event was given a truly naval significance. In the sounding of taps, the naval bugler, a Civil war veteran and a Spanish War veteran Joined, the appearance of the three men as they stood together being symbolical of the universal observance of Memorial day.

Most Common Physical Defect. Of the many physical defects to which human flesh Is heir, the most common and the most injurious in its results is the displacement down ward of the upper part of th body. Such displacement prolapsus, we catlf it in mediclne is shown by the flattened chest, the depressed and protruding abdomen, the prominent outstanding collar bones and the flaring shoulder blades. As an indication of the remarkable prevalence of this deformity, I may mention that, as the result of an ex tensive series of examinations covering several thousand subjects, I found than one per cent, of bodies that wer not collapsed and depressed. In other words, more than ninety nine out of every hundred people have crooked spines, lowered chests and displaced structures.

It may be remarked that, In eve case, those exceptional people found with straight spines, flat backs, expanded and uplifted trunks accom panted by the absence of any prominences or hollows over the collar bones or shoulder blades in every case those people were notable for vitality and ability. Two of them were successful vocalists, one perhaps the most famous oratorio basso now living. Four were women, singers, standing among the highest in that profession. One was a giant porter whose strengin and endurance were jndur of hl fl lows. One was a great preacher, anoth er the most successful prize fights" known to tho ring.

This peculiar and exceptional type of body Is always associated with power, mental or physical, or bo'h. For this there are reasons, mechanical and physiologic, some of which I sha'l mention later. W. R. C.
