Patent squeezers for Fat Men.


A Fifth avenue tailor has invented garment
which he expects to bring him fortune because
he thinks it responds to a crying need of the
times. If it was for use in stable it would be
called by the homely but expressive term belly
band, but as it is for use by man it is known as
a waist-compressor. 1t is broad belt of linen,
fitted with curved whalebones in front and with
buckles and straps behind. and is intended to re-
duce the figures of corpulent men. This tailor
has discovered, or thinks he has, that corpulency
is developing to a tremendous extent in New
York, and that most men of globular appearance
in front are ashamed of their appearance and
will suffer any amount of torture to reduce or
hatten their rotundty. He advises those who
have wives or Wallets to employ them in hitchng
these compressors up as tight as they can bear
the pressure Bachelors too poor to do this must
get along with less compression. The compressor
has been on sale year or more, and is mostly
used by men of aldermanic dimensions whenever
they put on their dress suits

A Stage Story.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Respecting the picturesque ignorance of the
modern theater goer, one of Lester Wallacks
favorite stories is that while standing in the box
Office of his own theater, several years ago,
when revival of the "School for Scandal was
on, a conversation occurred, something like the
following, between the ticket-seller and his Gus
toner:
''What is this School for Scandal anyway
cts one OF the finest comedies" etc.
''Is it news MOI Then I'll wait till you bring
out something new"
This happening was discounted in Mr.. Wal
lacks theater at the matinee on Saturday. A
very pretty girl asked her escort to tell her
something about Tom Jones.
'Oh, it is an old English play" was the reply.
"Mr Buchanan has expurgated it for tho mod
ern stage and called it Sophia l think the
play was called Tom Jones at Rugby"

why Booth Did Not Subscribe,

New York Commercial Advertiser.
For some time past the friends of the late John
Mccullough have been considering the idea of a
popular subscription for the purpose of collecting
funds to pay for and erect a monument to the
memory of the "Genial john" John McCul
Tough, whatever may be said of him as an artist,
was one of the most generous and compan.
ionable Of mon, and his friends both in and out
of the profession were legion. The subscription
idea was progressing satisfactorily until MIR. Ed
win Booth was asked to add his name for suit
able amount He, it is said, refused, saying
simply that when a monument was erected to
the memory of of his father it would be time to
talk of a monument to MCCULLOUGH. The pro-
jectors of the Mccullough monument evidently
thought the point well taken, because the popu
lar subscription has been abandoned, and the
memorial will be a tribute from Mr. McCul-
lough's personal friends

For Thanksgiving.

From the time of our old Revolution,
When we threw off the yoke of the king,
Has descended this phrase to remember,
To remember to say, and to sing;
IT'S phrase that is full of lesson,
It can comfort and warm like fire.
1t cheer us when DAYS are the darkest;
That things are no worse, o my Sire!"
Twas King Georges Prime Minister said it,
To the King who had cues Toned in heat,
What he meant by appointing Thanksgiving
In such times of illluck and defeat;
whats the cause for your day of Thanksgiving,
Tell me, pray, cried the King, in his ire;
Said the Minister: This is the reason
That things are no worse my Sire!"
There has nothing come down in the story
Of the answer returned by the King;
Butt think on his throne he sat silent,
And confessed it sensible thing.
For there's never burden so heavy
That it might not be heavier still;
There is never so bitter sorrow
That the cup could not fuller fill.
And whatever of care or of sadness
Our life and our duties may bring
There is always the cause for Thanksgiving,
Which the Minister told to the King.
lis lesson to sing and rem ember;
1t can comfort and warm like fire,
Can cheer us when days are the darkest
That things are no worse, Q my Sire!"

Miss Fanny Fisher She is authoress and is
better known as Christian Reid, who wrote the
"Land of the Sky" and other charming works.
She is still maiden-not all forlorn by any
means. for she could take her pick" but Ihave
noticed that when woman weds her pen she
doesn't care very much about marrying a
man. If she does marry she is apt to choose a
good, easy, amiable fellow, who won't bother
her when she wants to write or study, and who
will nurse the children if she has any. Colonel
Fisher, the father of this lady, was killed at the
first battle of Manassas when she was quite a
child So she is still reasonably young, and not
near as old as she will be if the Ammo Domino

One of the cases in which the early
bird does not catch the worm is in the
buying Of cotton dress goods in February.
There are, it is true, very few choice
patterns not likely to be found later, but
the ordinary buyer will be content to
wait until prices descend to the regular
summer level. There is a fortune and
the blessing OF the dressmakerS in re-

sateens and ginghamS and muslinS at
May prices in February, so that one can
buy them without feeling that one is

will rejoice to have their work doubled

wait months for it. After the goods be-

and the profits, with the interest upon
sales, will be larger than they are now,
