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.

diversityof opinion steps the health

amount Of comfort to any wearer,
whether the young mother, the grow

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

of any form is worn more comfort
ably over a bodice of this sort than
with stitily-bOned corset, allowing,
as it does, a more graceful play to the

Shades in False Teeth.

It is q fact that is not generally
known shat false teeth have to be made
to suit the comp exion il satisfactory re-
suits are desired. A dentist walking on
Chestnut street called attention to this
fact as he passed a lady who in smiling
showed a beautiful set of the whitest Of
teeth. "1hose teeth are too white" he
said "Shc is blonde and ought to
have uish white teeth. A brunette
can wear clear white teeth, but blondes
should have blush or cream-tinted. :"
Then he mentioned that a friend Of his
had put in a set of perfectly white teeth
for lady who is fair. He did it against
his own judgment ard only after the
lady insisted strongly on it. She wore
the set few days and went back, say
ing the teeth were too conspicuous. She
took dark st the second time, and
they can not be told from natural ones.
In all, dentists have as many as thirty
different shades in false teeth and have

what CHARTS For.

The chaff which surrounds all kinds
of grain has very important economic
uses. In its wild state this chaff
saves the seed from exposure to
weather, sometimes in severe seasons
only one or two grains escaping dam
age by winters exposure. When first
cultivated most kinds of grain had
doubtless much more abundant chaff
than now. The original wild Indian
corn, in which each grain has a husk
Of its own, is an illustration Of this.
But chatf even now serves very i'm
portant purpose. 1t allows the grain
to dry out in stacks, and mOws with
out heating, SO as to injure the seed.
Grain threshed before this drying out
is accomplished heats much more in
juriously in the granary.
Sometimes in threShing oats that
have been drawn in vet we have seen
the straw blackened by heating
around the bands, while the heads
kept separate by the chaff showed
each grain bright and uninjured.
Wheat that has strong bearded
chatf is usually a strong grower, as
its terminating power is less apt TO
be destroyed by heating in the NOW.
This fact secures the continued popu
larity Of these sorts, despite the UNI
pleasantness of working among
bearded grain. Reaping machines
that bind grain with Irvine as soon as
cut make the chaff even more neces-
sary. 1t is not any more difficult to
work among, and it does help to keep
grain from being injured through
imperfect drying before moving
away.

The Afro-American League, No. 8, OF Seattle,
held well-attended meeting last evening at the
OLD city hall. After some preliminary remarks
by ieePresident George Curry, J. +. Cragwell
was introduced and addressed the meeting
ON the past. present and future OF the
Airo-American. In the course OF his speech
MI. Cragwell said that the claim OF the Demo-
Gratis that they havekept their promises
to the negro is true, since they said that
they should never vote in the South, and they
have tried hard to keep that promise The Re-
publican party promised the negro equal rights
with the whites, and they have kept their
promise by lifting him out OF bondage and plac-
ing him on the platform OF success.
Hon G. 8. Bailey, president of the state
league, was introduced and gave an interesting
address on the negroes OF Washington, and par
tcularly of King county. He said that mas
much as the Afro-American League had chosen
him for its chairman he would use every effort
to see that there will be some one to represent
its members in the next state convention at
Olympia
The president appointed q committee to draft
resolutions of sympathy for and support to J.
W. Gonna, of Tacoma, and they submitted the
following to the meeting, by which it was
adopted.
Resolved, That the Afro-American League of
Seattle extend its sympathy to John \: Gonna,
esq, OF Tacoma, in his prosecution of the pro-
pnetor OF the New York Kitchen, OF that city,
for unlawful and unjust discrimination against
him because of his color.
Resotued further, That we furnish Mr.. Gonna
with additional counsel, if desired, to aid in
full and decisive prosecution of the proprietor
OF the New York Kitchen, OF Tacoma.

furnished Mr.. Gonna and the Posr-1STELLr-

Cougar Hunting in Mason County.
Shelton Seminal Au0ust Of


On Saturday last Mr.. F. c. Spencer. whose
farm and residence is about eight miles from
town, near the head of the bay, discovered that
some wild animal had been depredating upon
his flock of sheep. He at once laid his plans to
catch and kill the robbers. He had only small
steel trap, not large enough to hold any very
strong animal, 60 he set it at the entrance to the
sheep fold and was fortunate enough to place it
in just the right place; for just at dusk he
heard terrible racket down there, which
sounded very much like a cougar caught in a
trap. He and his brother, Fred, and Mr.. Smith,
neighbor. who happened to be there. took
their guns and dogs and hurried down TO the
sheep pen. They found the trap gone, the ami
NAL having carried it OFF. The dogs took the
track at once and struck of into the woods
They separated, going in different directions,
and each dog soon began to bay IN such man.
ner as to convince Mr.. Spencer that they had
their game freed. Going to the nearest dog,
they found large cougar on a windfall defend
ing himself from the dog Mr.. Spencer at oree
opened IRE and soon killed it. The trap was
found attached to the paw of this cougar. The
party then went TO where the other dog was bay
ing. and found another cougar. which they also
killed. The cougars were both about the same
size, six feet nine inches in length, weighing
ninety-hve pounds each, were about years old
and were both males. They destroyed FIVE
sheep for MIR. Spencer; but he has the two pelts,
which are worth as much as the sheen
