Death From Tight I.acing.

Happily the practice of tight lacing,
though still a fruitful source of illness.
does not now occupy a foremost place
among the recognized causes of death.
The fact that it does occasionally
stand in this position, however, should
be noted by those foolish persons
whose false taste and vanity have
made them the suffering devotaes of a
custom so injurious. 1t should be re-
membered also, that, whatever may be
said of the more evident effects, the
indirect consequences of thus tightly
girding the body can not be exactly
estimated. They can not be but hurt
full. The veriest novice in asasaa1torny
understands how by this process al
most every important organ is sub ect-
ed to cramping pressure. its functions
interfered with. and its relations to
other structures so altered as to render
it, even if it were itself competent, a
positive source of danger to them.
Chief among the disorders thus in
duced are those which concern the cir
culation, aud it is to the llsSa56rinp in
capacitsy~0f heart thus imprisoned
! and impeded, both as regards the out
flow and return of blood, that such dis
astrous consequences as occurred not
long ago in Berlin theater must be
attributed. According to the Lancet,
ore of the actresses, who had taken
part in an evening performance. and
then seemed to be perfectly well, was
found next morning dead in bed. Sub
sequent examination of the body
showed that death was due to syncope,
and this was attributed to tight lacing,
which the deceased had practiced to
an extreme degree. As regards the
persons immediately affected, the
warning conveyed by this incident is
| obvious.

unusual Foresight of a Candidate.

A lady of Warsaw, Poland, adver-
tised in the paper that she was willing
TO accept proposals for marriage. and,
giving description of herself, she
also enumerated the qualifications she
required in her sutton. Among those
qualifications she mentioned that he
must be the owner of real estate She
received many letters in reply. but
one of them was strikingly original.
The writer said that he possessed all
that which the lady desired in her fu-
ture husband. He was good looking,
he held respectable position, he had
many friends and was received in good
soclety. and could support family
comfortably. And as to real estate,
he had that. too; he was the owner OF
a plot of ground in a cemetery which
was large enough to accommodate
him. a wife and six children. The
lady selected the writer of this letter
from the whole number of suitors.
She opfned that a young man OF his
position who had thought OF acquiring
graves for himself and large family
before he was married was surely
worthyof the endow ment a&her hand
and heart.

a Clever Ruse.
Fenimore Cooper, in his stories of
hairbreadtlf escapes from Indians,
never hit upon q more extraordinary
device for eluding pursuit than ono.
which was related to President Carnot
during recent tour in Corsica. A
French traveller, so the story went,
ventured some years ago to pass
through a. mountainous district of
Corsica without escort or any means
of protection, and. in crossing par
ticularly rough and craggy region,
found himself pursued by band of
brigands.
As the traveller had some money on
his person, and feared that besides be-
ing robbed, he would be held in cap
tiyity for ransom, even ifshe were not
put to death, he took to fight
Knowing little of the country. he
soon stumbled on the border OF lake
In the mountains. There was no path
around it; twas impossible to swim
across, and the brigands we're behind
him. though he was hidden from them
as yet by the rocks.
Whatever he did must be done in
an instant. Necessity quickened his
wits; he saw at once a way out of the
| difficulty and awaited himself of it.
He hastily cut with his knife one of
the long hollow reeds that grew on the
shore OF the lake. Then he stopped
up his ears and nostrils with wet clay
/ from the margin, took the reed in his
mouth, and waded<out into deep water,
where he remained submerged, with
upturned face, just allowing the upper
end OF the reed to project above the
surface.
On came the brigands, following The
travellers tracks to the waters edge.
But what had become OF himp Hud
he flown acrossp Certainly he could
not have swan. There was no other
/ way Of escape. and the surface had by
this time stilled to q perfect calm.
The brigands remained waiting oh
the shore for some time, but no sign
Of the traveller Appeared. They con.
cluded at last that he was sorcerer,
who had caused himself to vanish Into
thin air.
Then they disappeared, and the
Frencnman. who had been under
water oil this time breathing through
his tube. came out He managed to
keep under cover, and make his way
to Ajaccio; and there BIO declared thai
he had been under water for foul
