The principle of heredity will often afford
valuable aid in the formation of correct
prognosis. A lingering bronchitis or slow
resolving pneumonia excites widely different
feelings of apprehension, according as the
patient comes of o healthy stock or one
tainted with phthisis. An enlargement of
joint or bone has widely different signif-

more grave If there be clear record of can.
Ger in the patients family, and SO ON with
all other diseases. Heredity taints the race
through and through. Still, in spite of all
this, men and women should not give way
to family inheritance, but fight it with all
their might. Heredity is made far more
serious by abjectly yielding to ii as If there

no WEN Wcnr Corsets }

" Is it really true that men wear corsets ?"
is o question that has been asked again and
again. A reporter spent an hour in manu-
factory of surgical appliances recently, and
in consequence can answer the question in
diligently. Men do wear corsets. The
reasons for their so doing are however, va.
rious. Some have had spinal troubles in
their earlier years have worn some sort Of
an appliance for the support of the back,
and on growing up require canvas and
whalebone corset in place of the brace.
Again, corsets are worn by men to hide
some physical defect. They are used also to
advantage by men afflicted with obesity.
Persons following out-of-doors occupations
wear them as protector againt sudden
changes of weather. Corsets of this class,
however, are made of sheep skin. To be-
leye that the article is ever worn by man.
kind as means of perfecting their forms is
a mistake. The contour of mans physique
cannot be beautifed by lacing Besides
this, the discomfort of breathing to o man
who wears corset for such purpose would
be such that he would gladly sacrifice his
personal appearance to ease.

Home Decoration for May 10 contains
much that is of interest to those who care
to beautify their homes. Although it is
essentially ''home" paper, 1t appeals to
men as well as women, its suggestions
whether for the decoration or furnishing
of rooms, the construction of furniture
for manufacture of Clancy" work, being
eminently practical. Among the ilustra.
tions are beautiful screen of spindle
work and stamped leather, novel idea
for corner cabinet. Sketch of an oak
sideboard, pretty hanging hall lantern,
some ingenious examples of lattice work
(this for home MANUFACTURER. There are
also some clever and unique Japanesque
designs for doylcys; Market bouquet for
wall decoration, made out of straw bottle
covers). Some ribbon VS. for holding
photographs, and an inexpensive hang
ing shelf for bric-a brac' The three last
named articles can, any of them, be con-
structed by clever fingers. There are ar
tices on stained glass; fash ionable chan
deliers and gas fixtures; lattice work;
note paper and cords; "pen" for nursery;
babies crawling rug, and hints for fancy
work. Perhaps the most valuable de-
partment is that of Queries'and Answers,
where excellent advice as to paper, paint
for rooms and suggestions for their gen.
eral furnishing are given. Price of this
issue, 10 cents. Published at 81 and 80

% cents. Philadelphia Porter &
Coates.
This love story of Cresson Springs re.
awakens all the old fascination that
visitor to that beautiful mountain resort
has experienced. The weird and roman
tic localities are described In gay and
vivid manner many of the lost tales of
the Allegheuies have boen rescued from
oblivion and upon the pretty thread of
love tale q valuable collection of histori-
cal and typographical information has
been grouped. A really novel idea is the
foundation of the story. Four young
men go to Cresson to pass a summer
month and they find four charming girls.
At first there Is harmony but fifth girl,
entirely outside the group, resents q
slight that has been put upon her and sue
ceeds in disorganizing the party to such
an extent that only one couple marry as
they originally hoped. Some admirable
pictures of clever young women are
drawn, and several keen hits are made re-
garding the society young woman, who
manages her parents 1t is in every way
u clever and readable volume. One can
enjoy it at sitting. The fifteen original
pictures by j. b. Sword, N. A., and +.
g. Schel give it additional value. Many
crisp epigrams are scattered through the
pages that would repay quoting, but it
would be unfair to our readers to deprive
them of the pleasure they will derive in
picking out the bright sayings for them
selves. To them We say "Fall to, you
have an enjoyable feast before you"

The Newark News is an independents
journal with strong Democratic leanings.
1t recently had an article on "The State
Prohibitionists, in which it spoke the
truth when it defined the relations of the
Republican and Democratic parties to
temperance. 1t said:
"While it is conspicuously true that
the Republicans have always shown u
greater sympathy for the Prohibition
movement than the Democrats have
evipced, it is as true that the Prohibition
lists do more harm to the Republicans
when they enter contest than they do
to the Democrats. In modified degree
the Prohibitionsts mako war in the
house of their friends when they place
full ticket in state campaign. The
Democrats rejoice when the temperance
people are active, not that they want to

Cotton.

Cotton is not fiber, but o plant hair II
holds to be spun into athread.because.of Pc
culiar twists in each hair, shown under the
microscope, especially in polarized light.
Linen thread may be spun because the flax
fibers have certain .roughnesses on their
surfaces, which enable them to cling to-
gether. Hence it is impossible to make as
fine linen as cotton cloth, but it is much
stronger.

"LIBERTY ENLIGHTENING THE
WORLD"

We learn from the American Commit.
tee of the Statue of Liberty that the
Granite Pedestal is nearly completed, and
the work of erecting Bartholdi's great
statue will soon commence, and for this
purpose considerable amount of money
is still required. The New York World
Fund of $1,000 completes the Pedestal,
but it is estimated that $4,000 is yet
needed to pay for the iron fastenings and
the erection of the Statue, and for this
they rely upon the subscriptions for the
miniature Statuettes, which are being re-
ceiyed from all sections of the country,
the Committee promptly filling all orders.
The No. 1,or One Dollars Statuotte, has
found place in thousands OF homes; the
No. 9, or Five Dollar size, is fast gaining
popularity, and justly, too, for it is a
work of art and we'll worth the money.
To supply the demand for something
still finer, the Committee have just CON-
pleted No. 8 Statuette, finely chased by
hand, and by patent process heavily
plated with silver which will not tarnish
or discolor, mounted upon beautiful
plush base, and furnished to subscribers
at Ten Dollars each.

The bill to permit the Baltimore and

has passed the United States Senate with
only five votes against. It will not proba-
bly, come up in the House of Representa-
tiyes until next Winter, when, while it
may pass, it will not get through so east
~. But after they get the right from
Congress it is still an open question
whether the bridge can be built without
the assent of New Jersey and New York
States. 1t is equally as open question
whether they will build the bridge after
they obtain the right.
