A "CoRsEr LIVER. Some medical
students in one of the colleges of this
city, dissecting a female subject few
days ago, found what is called the doc
tors parlance "corset liver" When
tight lacing has been practiced through
several years, permanent dent or hol-
low is produced in the liver, which may
be seen very plainly after the woman is
dead and her liver is dissected out
This kind of liver occurs SO frequently
in women that physicians have given it
the name of "corset liver. In the
subject mentioned the hollow in the
liver was large enough for the wrist OF a
grown man to he laid in it. Young la
dies who don't want their liverS put in
to the newspapers and made an awful
example of after they are dead, would
better take warning. Gin. Commercials

DRESS AT HOME.

There are ladies who seem to think
that it makes little difference what is
worn at home when only the members
of their own family are present. They
are willing to spend hours over their
toilet when going out, or expecting
company; but when only husband and
children are to see them, any old, cast
off garment, no matter how soiled or
torn, answers every purpose. For them
they have no time. The hair is given a
twist in the morning, and nighttime
too often finds it in the same condition.
Thus, from morning until night, the
wife and mother works around, a sorry
sight to be sure. If caller happens in,
excuses must be made, and these are
sometimes founded upon truth and some
times upon falsehood.
Some will argue: 81 cannot look as
| should like to, with all the labor |
have to perform. | must dress accord
ing to my work. If change my dress
in the afternoon, there is supper to get,
milk to strain and skim, dishes to be
made, SO what is the use of soiling an
other dress? 1t makes little difference
to the folks at home what | wear, and
ten chances to one if did fix up hus-
band would not notice it.
My belief is that woman must neces-
sarily lose her self-respect, and the re-
spect of her husband and children, if
she allows herself to become slack and
untidy in her person. Now, would
whole, clean clothes, a neat collar and
pin, with smooth, becomingly -dressed
hair hinder you in your labors one whit?
Would one-half hour each morning de-
voted to arranging your dress, be vast
ed? think not, and my advice to mar
ried ladies, is to be less matter-of-fact,
more willing to take trouble for their
dear ones, caring less for outsiders and
more for their husbands, children and
homes -RuraI Ne7O Yorker.

your buying this yesterday"
81 bought that hash for mince
meat!" she exclaimed.
at is called mincc meat, madam
at tastes like saw-dust and pork

81 shouldn't wonder if it did but
you see most everybody understands
that ready-made mince meat is simply
nucleus to rally on. 1t is the foun-
datiOn, as it were, of good thing.
You want to add more meat, more
apples, more raisins, some brandy,
some cider, little cinnamon, few
cloves, sprinkling of sugar, a trifle
Of spice, and you can't fail to have
good pies"
"Then why not make my own mince
meath" shrieked.
"Why not? We keep it here on
sale simply as an objective point to
rally on"
"Well, you and your whole caboodle
of clerks can rally on this half gal

upside down on the counter.
Just as you desire, madam" was
the aflable reply, and when she got to
the door and looked back, the grocer
wore the same kind and patient

VIM. Armstrong, father of our
esteemed citizen, William b. Arm.
strong, died at his residence in New
Jersey. near New York City, on the
10th ultimo, at the advanced age OF
81 years.
The deceased was highly respected
citizen of his vicinage, and was wei
and favorably known here from his
visits to his son.
His father, or the grandfather Of
our citizen, William b. Armstrong
was an officer in the Revolutionary
army, on the staff Of General Mercer
with the rank of Major.
We have been shown an order to
day, issued from General Washing
toms headquarters at Princeton, New
Jersey, dated January 22d, lit, di
rected to this Major Armstrong, i,
relation to securing rations for tn
patriot army. The Armstrong;, 0
New Jersey, were famous for thei
support of the loyal cause, and TO
hostility to the Tories, therefore IL i
not surprising that one Of the sons o
the subject of this sketch gave up hi
life in the late war as Captain of tn
9th cavalry. Mrs. William Arm
strong, wife Of the deceased, an,
mother OF w. B. A., is still hal
and hearty at the age of seventy-four
A remarkable circumstance connect
cd with the family of the latter, i
that she il the oldest Of a family o
twelve children none of whom hav
been visited by the hand Of death.
