Men should 1year Corsets.

1t may sound awful to say so, but do
you know I think that men ought to
wear corsets? Not steels, stiff whale
bones and strong lacings and all that,
but something to remind them that nat
ure intended them to stand straight, and
that they should lay claim to asugges-
ton of a waistline. When man gets
to be 80 or little more he goes all to
pieces in looks, unless he is made of nm
common metal. At so a man is married
or gives up the idea. Whatever his con-
dition, his main object in life is to take
comfort. He takes comfort
In year or two his shoulders, that
Were. firm and square, take on pathetic
droop. The coat that was buttoned up
with so much pride and showed off the
symmetrical back and waist in such fine
lines is apt to swing open, the smooth
front becomes wrinlzled nonentity, and
that waist line, that was so symmetrical,
is lost in what is called stomach" /
know some men take great pride in that
comfortable looking stomach. 1t does
show that life is worth the living, but it
also proves that man is getting on. in
years, and each year adds several inches
to the waist measure, and-and-it isn't
graceful if it is comfortable.
Now, corset or band, say eight or
ten inches wide, made with heavy cords
stitched in solidly to give frlnness, in
the front several pieces of silk elastic
tape and the back provided with buckles
and straps, would not be uncomfortable
to wear and would be q support for the
stomach that cannot stand too much
comfort without sacrifice of symmetry
and grace. Chicago Herald.

Drilling volunteer choir is the most
exasperating work ever undertaken by
a human being. In the first place it is
morally certain that at least half dozen
members think they know more than
the leader, and two or three are al
ways better informed than the man who
wrote the music, 50 they offer, with
cheerful alacrity, the most idiotic sug-
gestions as to the manner in which it
should be performed, and feel much ag-
grieved if their ideas are net acted on.
Then the women are always either
so devoted to each other that they keep
up constant chatter when they should
be singing or listening to the leaders di-
rection, or are quarreling and put each
other out.
They are not responsible for al the
trouble, but when they do quarrel they
generally manage to enlist the men in
the service of both sides. and the first
thin & the leader knows one half his
choir has quit and the other half is about
to do so because they are not numerous
enough to make creditable chorus. s
choir leader says: Il have gone into
church on Sunday morning and found
six or eight members sitting in the con.
gregation. instead of in their places
and the rest glazing at them from the
organ stand. 1t is fun for them and fol
the people. but it's death to the leader. >

In consequenceof the decided Addison
to the comfort Of travellers Of double
sashes in passenger cars by reason Of the
prevention of the admission of cold air
in winter and dust in summer several
railway companies have decided to use
double windows altogether in the future,
and this conclusion has probably been
fastened by the fact that many of their
best day coaches and chair cars rival
special cars in the richness Of their
pushes and interior decorations, and
they cannot afford to have such fittings
rapidly destroyed by the dust.
The comparative ease with which a
car fitted with double windows can be
heated in winter is also consideration.
They not only prevent cold air leaking
in where it is not wanted, but they also
interpose layer Of comparatively still
air between the warm air in the car and
the cold atmosphere outside, thereby
preventing the loss of considerable heat
by conduction and convection.-New
Orleans Picayune.

They've Lost millions,

A thief undiscovered belongs as much

A Smart Detective.

Sergeant Moser on one occasion saw a
waiter in a cafe at Soho receive and
place in his pocket letter which the de-
tective believed to be from criminal a
knowledge Of whose whereabouts he was
anxious to obtain. He therefore drop
ped his ring on the floor and asked the
man to look for it. Alphonse, expecting
Il reward, Immediately went on his
hands and knees, and while thus en-
gagged Sergeant Moser distracted the let
ter from his pocket and thus obtained
tho means Of bringing forger to jus
tice. Who can doubt that this was a
perfectly justifable act? Buff, instead,
Sergeant Moser had suborned another
person to steal for reward, and without
telling him the object in view, he would
most assuredly have acted very wrongly

Composite Landscapes.

A suggestive use of photography has
been recently made. Landscape features
are photographed here and there, figures
being posed to fit the theme. The diff
ferent parts are then collected into an
effective group, and the assembled
groups are rephotographed to form one
complete picture. Something of this
kind has been done by artists in CYCLIC
ramic painting, the different views be-
ing grouped together in sections and
painted on the canvas in connected
groups to form complete representa-
ton of avast stretch Of landscape. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

A SaIamander Clock.

That clock would continue to run in
the midst of roaring flames for any
length Of. time few people would be-
lieve, yet that such was the case in the
fire which destroyed the Sycaway villa
near Troy has been proved coHclusively.
From the ruins of the building was
taken small calendar clock. The
hands had stopped at 11:40 o'clock, OF
nearly an hour and half after the fire
broke out. The calendar dial showed
the hand at Sunday. The clock was de-
stroyed by the heat and flames beyond
all hope Of repair. 1t must have con-
tinued to run long after the villa was a
blackened ruin. 1t was found in the
center of a pile of debris. -Albany Elk

The FIRST Silk MIL in England.

A portion Of the old mill built by John
Lombs at Derby in 1718-the first silk
mill ever erected in England-has col.
lapsed, and 1t is expected that the whole
building will have to come down. Lombe
worked as a silk weaver in Italy, and at
the risk Of his life made drawings Of the
machinery. He then returned to Eng
land, bringing some Italian workmen,
and built the factory on an island in the
Derwent, having first patented the ma
chinery. He died soon afterward, and it
is said he was poisoned by female
emissary Of the Italian manufacturers.
The mill was worked for many years,
but has long been in disuse. 1t was last
utilized as a steam laundry, and was
condemned some years since as being I'M
safe.-Galignani Messenger.
