will not add many voters to swell the

the ProhibltioniSts claimed larger

the Prohibitionists were made up of
short-haired women and long haired
men, and had no positive voting
strength. In Texas thor' are not many

WHEN Mr.. BLAINE gets into tight

himself by appealing for sympathy for
his family. When on trial for COM

fore the House committee and asked per-
mission to make what he called spain
full statement" His sworn statement
was: yesterday Mr.. BLAINE came to
the Riggs House and there had a confer
ence with Mr.. ATKINS, Mr.. FISHER and
myself. lie wanted to have those letters
had; declined to let him see them.
lie prayed almost, | would say, went
on his knees-and implored me to think
ofhis six children and his wife, and that
| il the committee should get hold of this
communication it would sink him inn
mediately and ruin him forever" And
still further on Mr.. MuLLIGAN said
"MR. BLAINE still importuned me tC
give those papers up; declined to do it
retired to my own room and he fol
lowed ME up, and went over the same
history about his family and imploreC
me to give them up to him, and ever
contemplated suicide. He asked me if
wanted to see his children left in tina
state, and he then asked me again if
would not let him look over these paper
consecutively." Mr.. BLAINE, it seems
is wont to use the sacred name of tamil,

poses.

The Antiquity Of the Corset.

AS long ago as the days of the
Greeks and Romans, a slight elancse
figure was admired, and stoutness
looked upon as a deformity. Martial
ridiculed fat women, and Ovid put
large waists in the first rank of his
remedies against love. Several
remedieswere tried then ss now, not
only to restrain an expanding figure,
but to enhance the beauties Of
very slie hit one. But they were of
q very different kind from those
with which we are familiar. Bane
dages were worn with the generic
name of faSci0e m1nl,zlareS. These
consisted Of the Strophium, the
cloth worn around the bosom; the
tenia, simple band below, and the
coma, or waist belt. When ban
dages failed, those who valued the
b.auty of their figures had recourse
to a remedy prescribed by Serenus
Samonicus, They euyeloped their
busts with garlands of ivy, which

linus, in his biography Of the En-
peror Anthony, mentions that he
also had recourse to them to COM
press his swelling figure. Testi-
moDy is conflicting however. Some
contend that the ancients SoYe veri-
table corsets, arguing that when
Homer, in describing Juno's toilet
when she wishes to captivateEJ upi-
ter, speaks of the two girdles worn
around her waist, the one bordered
with gold fringe, the other borrowed
from Venus, he was really describ-
ing a Greek corset, and that the
edge or cuirass of Minerva, which
Virgil describes, is to be interpreted
in the same manner. But this view

After some experiences as mer-

Boxer, an English actress and a

high one, and became estranged
from his family. He lived latterly
reckless life, and died in 1911, q
comparatively young man. He was
a brilliant writer and published
most of his best work under his own
name, Thomas Paine. But in 1901,
