The Vanity OF men.

"A man cares more about his shape
than woman" said a corset maker,
-and viii resort 10 more stringent and
uncomfortable measures TO improve his
figure. A stout woman will walk a mile
for two or three days and stop eating
candy for whole week to reduce her
flesh, but a man will submit TO the most
wearisome processes for the same pur-
pose and keep up his effort for as many
months as his trainer recommends
Place a glass at the left of any public
stairway, and four men to one woman
will turn to look in IL. and from these
premises may be drawn the double con.
clusion that men are more vain than wo-
men, and that were the stigma of femi
ninity removed from corset wearing and
the custom adopted by fashion leaders
men would fall in line very readily
There is no more reason why they
shouldn't suffer in them than that wo-
men should be laced into them, simply
because they look more trim and shape
". In 1898 and 1870 corsets were worn
by men, and the fashion might be re
vived If few leaders as courageous as
the apostles Of dress suit reform would
introduce the practice. New York Sun

Napoleon,. Lost cameos.

For many years the Bibliotheque Ma

the throne they were found among the
crown jewels, and were sent elong with

ton of the gems NJ. Germain Bapst.
however, has been able to provide the
substance of the missing document, and
has published it in his "Histoire des

THE WHITE souALL.
Graphic Account OF sharp, short Storm
In the Gulf of Gascony.


Graphic Account of a sharp, short Storm
in the Gulf of Gascony.
In the month of July, 1886. the schoon-
er Swallow, recently oyerhauled and
made ready for a scientific exploration
of the Gulf of Gascony, following the
line of coast which borders the great
depths, commenced the first attempts at
dredging the bottom at depth of 500
meters.
On the second day our rope scaffold-
ings and dredge were let down under a
cloudy sky and into muddy sea- The
barometer did not indicate anything alb
normal, still the aspect of sudden
cloud, forming rapidly in the west-south-
west in the course of the operation,
seemed sufficiently threatening to cause
US to postpone the drawing up of the
dredge until the passage of that inoppor-
tune danger.
1t was necessary to shorten sail with
the utmost rapidity in order to avoid too
great traction on the cable, the break
ing of which would have caused the loss
of our only deep sea dredge. The vio-
lence of such squall not permitting the
exposure of any ordinary sail we found
we would only be able to carry the jib
and that only if the space before rs wa
clear.
terminated these arrangements won
ing whether we were going to lose our
principal implement when the first puffs
of wind which preceded gale of gath
ering intensity struck us powerfully,
careening the schooner to the larboard.
A dust of water was raised by the first
puffs of the squall from the waves which
were almost instantly formed, and this
joined the stinging whips of an icy tor
rent of rain and hail and lashed the sea
to crystalline whiteness which reflected
the brilliance Of meteor.
The crew, sheltered from the wind by
the lee bulwarks, awaited in silence an
order for action Shere where it should be
most necessary. But at the supreme mo-
ment of such a cataclysm which sweeps
all, which bruises faces, STILES voices,
when the water has stiffened the cordage
and sails, when the vessel under bare poles
crouches and quivers under the anger of
the tempest, regular work is out of the
question and the helmsman is the only
one who pursues any active labor, but
the schooner, held by the weight of the
dredge which she drags, does not obey
the helm with her usual readiness.
After an hour of fierce rage the thick
masses of cloud are suddenly broken,
and behind them hangs thin curtain of
vapor which is dissipated in few min
utes and the blue of heaven reappears.
Soon the squall hiding the opposite
horizon glides away from us by a mys-
terious power and no trace is left on the
mobile sea to betray its passage.
The schooner anchors and hoists one
by one her sails, whose folds as they
open shed cascades of water which have
accumulated there, and soon the soaked
garments of the crew float, or are spread
out to dry, and the wind which blows
now with kind benevolence on those
multicolored lines of tricots, sabots, tar
paulins, caps and shirts seems to i'm
pose a vulgar labor upon itself which
so recently had threatened their lives
