knowledge Is Health.

AT the recent hygienic congress in Vienna
Herr Won Pettenkofer urged the importance
OF more general teaching in the public
schools Of the influence Of air, water and soil
on the public health What scientific hygiene
has accomplished was illustrated by the case
of London, where, in the Seventeenth CEN
fury, with less than / 900 900 inhabitants, the
average death rate was forty-two per 600
per year; while now, with population of
100000 it is less than twenty one per 900.
That is, science has more than doubled the
average life OF the Londoner In the Cri-
mean war the French lost 5000 men, of
whom only 10000 were killed, while 5000
died from disease In the Franco-Gerrnan
war the effect Of hygienic teaching in the
military schools was already apparent, for
out Of total loss 20 the German army Of
4o,Ssl there were only 12,2se deaths from
disease. -Arkansaw Traveller

Whims of Modern Times.

Today everybody drinks goblet Of boiling
water before breakfast to tone up the stomach,
tomorrow he wears electric belts to restore
fading vitality. Today he wears an overcoat
of the short box pattern with buttons as big
as breakfast plate, tomorrow coachman's
top coat with skirts extending to his instep
envelops him. Today the brim of ones hat
is as straight and unyielding as a Quaker's
conscience, tomorrow the brim is CURED
with the grace of French dancing masters
salutation. Today a gentleman III full dress
ungloved attracts the attention of his neigh
bors, tomorrow man with gloves upon his
hands in church or theatre or opera house
affords topic for neighborly conversation.
Today vest is buttoned high in the neck, to-
morrow it is cut so low that the first east
wind pierces it with nerve disturbing collie.
Today dozen skating Kinks coin fortunes for
their projectors, tomorrow a universal pail
of gloom, dependency and bankruptcy
weighs every rink in Christendom into the
very dust.

When a man begins wearing corsets it
is hard to tell where he will stop. If he
begins a careful inspection Of his person
he is apt to grow very dissatisfied with
the handiwork of nature, and attempt, in
his clumsy way. to improve upon her.
He will end, probably, in making himself
look like a freak or a mOnstrosity OF
some kind. Many a man Of good shape
has begun in simple way to improve
himself in the matter of physique and
ended in becoming a monomaniac on the
subject. A well known tailor not far
from the Hotel Brunswick said that he
had never seen a corset on any of his
customers, but he knew very we'll that
several of them wore this article. Corsets
are not known by this name among the
men who wear them or by the manufact-
urers. The masculine corset is called the
compressor" or the ''patent elastic sup
porter" Military men are fond of corsets,
it is said, and many of the regimental
swells consider one of these articles
necessary adjunct to their wardrobe.
Many of the cOrsets worn by men are
made in Germany, where they are in great
favor among the officers of the German
army. A great deal of trouble is taken
by some of the men to have their corsets
made in rich and flowery designs. Some
are made of brightly colored silks and
trimmed with rich lace. A woman is
more apt to learn whether man wears
corset than one of his own sex. Especially
is this the case when the man is Waiting
Whalebone, it is said, will creek audibly
when any undue strain is brought to bear
upon it. A man with a tightly laced
corset is bound to be discovered by the
woman he waltzes with, provided she has
sharp ears and is not in love with him.
