If a corset is perfect in
other respects and has the
usual metal eyelets, the laces
will break at the most annoy
ing times; for the eyelets cut
them.
There is a better eyelet
made of loops of corset lace;
soft eyelet we call it. 1t costs
no more, is neater, more such
as a woman would make for
herself, besides the convent
ence of not wearing out or
cutting the laces.
The Ball and Kabo corsets
are eyeleted with it.
You can get these corsets
and wear them two Or three
weeks; and, if you do not
like them, return them. The
makers pay the merchants to
sell them SO.

NUMBER 2.

eral thousand dollars worth of dIa-
monds and large amount of jewel
ry was found on his person. Mr..
Dittman on the afternoon of Decem-
ber 1 started out for his daily
drive in Fairmont park, and about
dusk his deserted carriage was found
in the park with the reins broken
and other apparent indications of a
runaway accident. Marks of carriage
wheels ON the banks of the Schuyl-
kill led to the belief that Mr.. Dit
man was thrown from his carriage
into the river. For several weeks a
large body of men was engaged in
dragging the river, but all efforts to
raise the body proved unavailing.

--latest Intelligence.

He was a reporter of local news
paper. He came into the Office o.
district postmaster, as was his won't
and asked if there was any news
''No, nothing much," carelessly
replied one of the officials. "IIavt
you heard of the new order?''
"Whst new order?" eagerly asked
the reporter, making move for his
pencel.
"Why, that the postmaster-geuer-
al is not going to issue the postal
cards any longer
"Where do you get your lnforma-
tion?"
,"Well, we haven't any official in
formation yet; but we know it is
so."
"That will be great hardship to
the poor" ventured the reporter.
II don't see how it will" replied
the official.
81 suppose 1t is done on account
of the loss on the letter POSTAGE"
mo, that isn't the reason the
postmaster-general decided not to
make them any longer" spoke up
another official.
swell, what is the reason then ?"
asked the now desperate reporter.
why, simply because they are
long enough now. The postmaster
general and the people are very well
satisfied with the present length. "
The door slammed hard as the re-
porter went out.

1.-THE great novelist, Jules Verne,
said reader the other day, never
lets an opportunity pass TO compli-
ment Americas progressive spirit.
In his latest literary effort, which
details the practicability of the
scheme by company of Americans
to penetrate the north pole country
and utilize that region for town lots
and agricultural purposes, he thinks
that should Lesseps propose TO dig
a channel across Europe to Asia,
from the banks of the Atlantic to
the waters of China; should a well
slnker offer to bore from the curb
stones to reach the beds of molten
sIlicalce, to bring supply to your
fire places; should an enterpTising
electrician want to unite thes scatter
d currents over the surface of the
globe into one lneXhanstlble spring
of teat and light, should bold en-
gineer CO nceive the idea of putting
the excess of summer temper ature
into large reservoirs for use curing
the winter in our then frigid zones /;
should an anonymous society be
founded to do any of hundre'' diff
ferent similar things, there would be
found Americans ready to head the
the subscription lists and a regular
stream of dollars would pour into the
company safes as freely as the rivers
of America flow to the ocean,

A Parrots Bad Break.

The little, round, fat man with the
gurgling laugh, tells another one and
declares his willingness to make the
usual affidavit to Its truth. IL oc-
Cured in war times in Charleston,
when that city was under martial
law. Just then -four was a scarce
article and several of the bakers
succumbed to temptation and made
short-weight bread. This came to
the ears of the authorities and the
provost marshal was armed with a
pair of scales and sent around to the
bake-shops early every morning to
weigh the bread as it was taken from
the ovens. All short weight bread
was found and carried away. This
summary method of procedure had
good effect, and after few confis-
cations, the provost marshal usually
found all things regular. One morn
ing certain one of the bakers re-
ceived the usual call from the mar
shall and his bake was taken from
the oven, weighed and found correct
to an ounce. But during the night
this man had surreptitiously baked
quantity of lightweight bread and
slowed 1t away under the counter.
Just as the marshal and his detail
were leaving the shop a pet parrot
perched upon the top of big cage
called out: "Look under the coun-
ter" The marshal did so, discov-
cred the lightweight bread and car
rled it away, after giving the baker
a sound lecture. The man was so
mad at his parrot that after the SOL
diers had gone he reached for the |
treacherous bird, wrung his neck |
and threw him out into the gutter.
But Polly was not dead by any
means. In few moments he open
ed one eye, ruffied up his feathers
like man does before he has had
his morning cocktail, and staggered
about rather blindly in the gutter
until he came upon the carcass of a
dead dog. Polly cooked his eye at
the defunct canine and then said:
"Say, partner, did you say anything
about that damn bread?"
