A Substitute for Corsets.

A certain woman who strongly adj
yocates reform in dress declares
that ~corsets have filled more graves
than whisky" and cynical wag re-
plies that whisky is never put on the
bargain counter" The scientific
world has ever denounced the corset,
but woman's world has ever declared
the impossibility Of relinquishing it.
Into the breach caused by this wide
diversity Of opinion steps the "health
bodice" which will insure a vast
amount of comfort to any wearer,
whether the young mother, the grow
ing girl, or the woman who INDUCES
in the luxury Of the tea-gown. 1t is
an idealized slip bodice made Of fine
white twill trimmed with embroidery,
becomingly full and soft over the
bust and boned below with pliable
bones, which may be easily removed
when laundried. A loose house gown
OF any form is worn more comfort
ably over a bodice of this sort than
with a stiffly-boned corset, allowing,
as it does, a more graceful play to the
curves of the figure and greater free
dom Of motion. One is apt to take
cold by removing the corset when in
doors, and the health bodice will sup
ply substitute at once comfort
able and protective. Frank Leslie's
Weekly.

There In a man In Nashville, says
the American, who has travelled the
length and breadth of the United
States, from Maine to Mexico, from
New York to San Francisco, and did
not pay a dime for his passage, and
he rode half the way In first-class
passenger coach, the other half I'm
box-cars and as ~blind baggage" Il
made $50 once" said he, @and it was
the easiest money that ever came
into my hands. Major Clarfee was
the passenger agent OF the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Road, and i
went to him in Fort Worth, told him
i was an unfortunate, and / wanted
to get out OF town. He gave me a
pass to some point about thirty miles
up the road, and / left that night.
When / went into the coach, who
should meet but Major Clarfee. He
motioned me to have a seat by him,
and commenced asking about me,
and how L managed to get about.
why, Major / said, Il have Travelled
over your road a thousand times and
never paid a cent or had pass nor
beat my way At this the old man
pricked up his ears, for he thought
he would catch some one OF his con-
ductors at some underhand trick.
How do you do it?' the Major asked
me, That's secret said i. I'll
give you $40 to put me on to 1t.
Make it $780, said /. Done, and he
passed over the money. We'll,

VAST and admirable is the adapta-
bIity of the human mind TO the ends
to which it is employed! The British
commissioners to Behring Sea have
Just returned with the report that
the seals are rapidly increasing in
and seem to be practically
safe from any danger of extinction
conclusion, it is needless to say,
that fully supports the contentious of
the British diplomats i'm the Behring
Sea case. The United States COM
missioners, on the contrary, report
most melancholy state of affairs. The
gentle seals are being hunted down,
massacred, slaughtered and are upon
the point of joining the mastodon and
dodo in the rank OF extinct animals.
The American and British taxpayers
have paid their money for the two
commissions and may take their
choice of the reports.

Courteous.

Most of us are apt to omit toward
those Of our own family many Of the
outward tokens Of respect that we
habitually show to our less familiar
friends and acquaintances. To this
rule, as to all others, there are, of
course exceptions.
Those who pass certain house in
town not far from Boston on their
way to business in the morning, often
see what is to them most beautiful
and touching sight. Down the front
steps comes a gentleman about sixty
five years Of age, but evidently hale
and vigorous; ia the big bay window
can be seen his wife, feeble, sickly
lady supported on her crutches,
watching her husband on his way.
The old gentleman walks briskly
on until he reaches the street corner,
some PAGES away; then he turns,
glances back with smile for the low
ing face in the window, throws it a
kiss, and raising his hat in the most
ceremonious manner, bows low and
passes around the corner out Of sight.
Such things as this show that
courtesy toward ones own household
is not thing Of the past, that famil-
iarity does not always breed contempt.
Well would it be for us all to heed
the lesson!

GIVE stupid person the benefit Of
a doubt. We cannot all of us roar
like lions, and yet in the great orches-
ira Of nature the katydid has its
place as well as the king Of beasts.
Because some "little ones" sit, google
eyed and silent, in the midst Of so
much mighty roaring, do not doubt
that when their opportunity comes
they can chirp up like good fellows.
Give them chance, then, and even
if they do not improve it, hesitate be-
fore you call them uninteresting and
stupid. Katydids were not made to
sing by lamplight and in crowds.
When the noises lull and the lights
go out their disputations begin and
last, while sweeter singers are locked
in slumber. In company, then, don't
put down all the silent people as fools;
yield them the Difference due to those
who merely await their opportunity.

THOSE who believe in the existence
of such disease as hydrophobia will
be interested in the minute directions
of its treatment which are given in
a recent number of a Chinese medical
journal. "The presence Of the disease
having been ascertained, the author
ity in question observes, "the next
step to be taken, and one which is of
prime importance, is to search the
hair of the patient. There will GER
tainly be found one hair OF the color
or vermillon, rather stronger and
coarser than the ordinary hairs. This
must be entirely pulled out, not even
the smallest part of the root to be
left, since otherwise the disease can
not be cured" If it could be firmly
fixed in the minds Of people in gene
raj that if the vermilion hair afore-
said were not to be found it may be
safely taken for granted that the
disease is not hydrophobia, it would
be an excellent thing.

In a general way, says our New York
correspondent, i may say that in their
distinguishing characteristics, winter
fashions will continue to draw inspira-
ton from early French sources, namely:
the epochs of the Henrys, and so down
to the empire. The consulate. too, will
be represented by hat, and there will
be q charming bit OF headgear called a
chapeau- beret, delightfully."- becoming for
"a picturesque style of face and head.

backs and enormous sleeves, will remind
us of the early French. The small

DEATH has been so busy among the
leading politicians of Great Britain
and Ireland that it may precipitate a
general election. Indeed, there will
be general election in miniature as
a consequence OF the taking-off Of so
many notable men. The death of
Postmaster General Raikes, Lord
Justice Glencorse, OF Scotland, and
Lord Portsmouth recently has led to
half a dozen Parliamentary vacan-
cies in Great Britain, and Parliament
tary contests are now being waged in
Northeast Manchester, Buteshire, the
Thanet division of Kent, South Buck
ingham, and North Devonshire. In
all those places the Liberals are try
ing to win seats which the Tories
have held until month ago. The
death of Mr.. Smith and the minister
al changes consequent thereon will
create another half dozen of vacancies
and there will be number of con-
tests as consequence. The death Of
MI Idinell, vi CouISe, VIII lcdu w d

Nationalist and the Fenians, or
Hillside men, while there may be
another ugly fight in Kilkenny to FIJI
the vacancy caused by the death of
Sir John Pope Hennessy, who inflicted
the first defeat on Parnell after the
decree of the divorce court. The
next three months will, in fact, wit
ness from twenty to thirty elections
in Great Britain and Ireland, and the
results will be fair expression Of the
sentiment of the country.
