If the Destroyer is the engine of
havoc it is here described to be, the

about our shadow of a navy ought
now to take a new lease of hope, and
begin to exercise pity for that fool
hardy foreign power which may
sometime think it worth while to
send fleets to lombard our shores.

Male COrset.Wearers.
Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.

A<uSy AASOk'SA . AAc ASSsSAe
I received, recently, a letter from
a gentleman in New York, who
writes to ask me if it's a fact that
French gentlemen habitually wear
corsets, and he quotes the allusion
made by Alphonse Daudet, in tho
Nabob," to the white satin corsets
of the male guests at the imperial
fetes at Compiegne. One passage
in his letter is so curious and inter-
esting that I will transcribe it for the
benefit of my readers: 1.-THE writer
was educated in one of the best pri-
vate boarding schools at Vienna,
Austria, remaining there from the age
of twelve to that of seventeen. In
common with all my fellow pupils,
who were sixty in number, I wore
corsets during the whole of my five
years stay at the school. was in
formed by my teacher that Viennese
gentlemen, rs a rule, wore corsets,
and that the discipline was naturally
enforced to all their scholars. My
stays were very tightly laced, my
waist, during my last year at the
school, being but eighteen inches in
circumference, yet never expert
enced days illness, and used very
much to enjoy the sensation caused
by tight lacing. When I left the
school I discontinued the practice,
partly from being ridiculed by my
friends, and partly because it seemed
too effsminate custom for young
man engaged in an active business
life; but I have retained some inter-
est in the matter, and I understand
that many English gentlemen wear
corsets, and that the practice of tight
lacing among men is becoming very
general in Europe" 1t is undoubt-
edly fact that great many Eng
lish gentleman wear stays, particu-
larly when they ride on horseback.
So general is the custom becoming
that certain corset makers in Lon
don now advertise themselves as
gentleman's stay makers. The prac-
tice is also quite prevalent in Prus-
sia, particularly among the officers
of the army But a stif and mn
right carriage is not considered IN
good tasto among the y arl9ian
eSquisites, and 50 the vb3t4 sh1a1
corsets of the dandies OF Compiegne
have found but few imitators in
France.

Society far Political Education.

This society is gaining every day
in numbers and influence. # num-
bers among its active and co-cperat-
ing members, the political econom-
ist, David A. Wells, Horace White.
Prof. W. G. Summer OF Yale College;
Charles Francis Adams, Gen. Brad
ley, T. johnson, of Virginia; Cyrus
W. Field. Peter Hamilton, of Mo-
bile, and many other thinkers OF
wide reputation. Il is not PARTISAN
and is not to be used for any other
purpose than awakening an intelli-
gent interest in Government methods
and purposes. Its members are gen.
orally agreed upon the following con-
victions.
The nation, parties and public
men, must keep good faith.
The right of each citizen to his
free voice and vote must be upheld.
Office holders must not control the
suffrage.
The office should seek the man:
and not the man the office.
Public service, in business posi-
tions, should depend solely on fitness
and good behavior.
The crimes of bribery and corrup-
ton must be relentlessly punished.
Local issues should be indepen-
dent of party.
Coins made unlimited legal tender
must be made of full value as metal
in the markets of the world.
Sound currency must have metal
basis, and all paper money must b
convertible on demand.
Labor has right to the highest
wages it can earn, unhindered By
public or private tyranny.
Trade has the right to the freest
scope unfettered by taxes, except for
Government expenses.
Corporations must be restricted
from abuse of privilege.
Neither the public money nor the
peoples land must be used to subsi-
die private enterprise.
A public opinion, wholeome and
active, unhampered by machine con-
troll, is the true safeguard of pop
ular institutions.

"Im all right except my cloak" :"
jerked out Mrs. Spoopendyke, "if
you'll hand me my cloak we'll

Topped down on the floor and be-
gan putting on her shoes.

q can tell you what was in it, >"
said Mrs. Spoopendyke. "I can
tell you all about it while l dress, !"
and she looked up at him piteously,
with her face all flushed.
" No doubt" retorted Mr.. Spoop-
endyke. You know all about it.
All you want is can of oil and ten
men swearing at you all day to be a

Now, I'm all ready, dear"
smiled Mrs. Spoopendyke, who
wasn't anything of the sort. You

They started off together, arm in
arm, Mr., Spoopendyke growing and
his wife hitchius at her various gar
ments as they went along.
Another time we're going out to
dinner you get ready the day before,
you hear?' demanded Mr.. Spoop-
endyke.
Yes, DEAR" responded his wife,
and then she thought to herself,
" I'm very glad he didn't insist on
looking for that paper"

Ericsson Again to the Rescue.

The class of American citizens
who compare, with trepidatjon, the
immense naval armaments of Euro
pean nations with our own inferior
hotilla, may be interested in the
new invention of Ericsson, of Jfoni-
tor memory, which is described in
the March Scribner's Monthy. 1t is
an armor-clad boat bearing the for
midaDle Maine OF tho DESTROYER. 1t
is wholly Of iron, 13O feet long, IL
feet deep and Il feet wide. When
in readiness for action it is nearly
submerged, only few inches OF 1t
rising above the water. There is an
extra and massive armor-plate placed
at an angle of Is degrees forward of
the engine and b ckeI with four
feet of wood work, thus constituting
Il shield to resist shot fired from iE
front. The rudder is several feet
under water. The Destroyer is driv-
gu by 900 horsepower engine.
But the remarkable feature OF the
invention is the gun and its projec-
tile, a description of which, con-
densel by the Boston Journat, we
subjo'n:
The submerged gun stands on
the floor of the torpedo room, just
above the keel. 1t is of gun metal,
cast i'll three pieces, tue rear or
breech section being reinforced by
number of heavy steel rings shrunk
on. The different sections are Sc
curely bolted together, and the
whole piece is 30 feet long, with q
bore of 16 inches. The missile used
i'll the gun is % feet inches long
and 16 inches in diameter, and
weighs l,50O pounds, including the
firing charge of explosive, placed in
the forward end. This terrible tor
pedo CT submerged shell is placed in
the gun, and the cartridge is placed
behind it. The breech- block is then
closed, and the wires are connected
with the electric firing apparatus.
The sea-valve is opened md the gun
is fired, throwing the torpedo direct
ly through tho water at the enemy's
ship. 1t leaves no disturbance on
the water, and can neither be seen
nor avoided. No netting hung
about the ship can keep it away, for
it moves at the rate of 80 feet for
the first three seconds, and will
travel from 400 to 700 feet, rending
its way through nets or shields till
it strikes the ship and sends her to
the bottom. The sea valve is closed
Immediately after firing, and any
water that may have got into the gun
is allowed to run out at the breech
and fall into the bilge whence it is
pumped out by aid of steam 81
phon. The details of the torpedo
and the method of handling it are
the secrets of the inventor.
The United States Navy Depart
ment is aiding Captain Ericsson with
men and materials in his experiment,
which la. thus far proved most
gratifying SUCCESS. Charles Barnard,
who contributed the account of this
invention to the magazine, takes this
view of the matter:
Here, then, is the American
idea: An armor-clad boat, with q
submerged gun firing q shell or tor
pedo, of greater power than any yet
made, and before which the iron clad
