travel is IN any way possible without more
radical changes than any Chautauqua in
her senses deems possible, and that is
through physical culture, of the tyne that is
intelligent and not sensual or faduisb.
Ihe Chautauquan herself, if she takes off
her corset. will go without it Just about
eight days. She will look, being usua]Iv
mlddle-aged and of m%atronly PROPORTIONS
AZ she herself would phrase it like ga meal
bag tied in the middle and through con
temptation of the mealiness of the non
aesthetic bag she will be brought to the
point of putting the corset on again
strai2htway. She will not put it GU han
PLY, but rather with a eroan, and she will
give her days and her hoase to an outcrv
for all women to take off corsets stimuli
~tareously and lend one another counte-
nance to make the baggy condition tolera-
bic because general.
NOW TINS Is unnecessary fatigue for the
lungs. The right point OF attack ia found
at a wide remove. The woman who knowa
how TO stand and sit and carry her body
properly can look better without %corsets
than with them, be she stout or thin: tho
woman who hasn't the primary physical
education hangs over the top of her corset
while she has it on, and sinks in a heap the
moment it is removed.

will reclothe the world with a set of resolu-
lions. But, bless you, the feminine half of
the world hasn't sufficient idea of what free
dom OF body might mean to know that it
needs rec!othing. The feminine half of the
world wore short street skirts for years and
looked back with scorn upon its mothers
because they wore long ones. The femi-
nine half OF the world said how curious that
people could ever have been so foolish, and
yet the momen long dresses were sent to it

as to make a discord, said how graceful,
and straightway pat them on.

assumed a task of very considerable dimen-
slons. And there is one thing Chautauqua
doesn't take into account at all; there ia
only one road to dress reform along which

said this was quite unnecessary. The street
dress, indeed, has boldly and without the
hesitation that characterized its early ex-
periments, taken to itself a 1emi-train.
This train, or dip" falls from the waist in
ian plaltings and has usually a very narrow,
founced dress improver'' of grass cloth to
give it the required 'hang."
The all round reed is less common than
1t was two months ago. but that the idea of
skirts swollen and rotuud with hoops has
not been abandoned ia to be inferred from
the fact that all skirts are much increased
at the foot, and from the other fact that
the favorite trimming is a puff that stands
out full and large and round.
AS skirts have heightened waists have
shortened. We shall not get back quite to
the Empire fashion at present, but the
waist line is being carried up month BY
month, pereeptibly, and this with the demi-
train produces an effect as if all women had
suddenly grown tall.
Quite as interesting as any feature OF
what drassmakers call the autumn styles
is the ingenuity expended on ways and
means of taking up the train. There are

Comparatively little is known of the
quicksilver production of this and other
countries. During the year 1889 there
were 26, AGA tasks, or 2,024, 496 pounds
of quicksilver produced in California.
About 90 TASKS, less than 81, 900 in
value, were produced in Oregon. There
are IL productive mines in Califor-
mia, with 36 furnaces. The productive
mines and active furnaces employed
937 operatives, of whom 416 were en-
gagged on surface work and 521 were
employed underground. The number
of tons of cinnabar ore mined in pro-
ducing the quicksilver was 95, ia tons.
The average cost of producing a
flask of quicksilver was S33. 81. The
total capital invested in the active es-
Establishments in this country is stated at
81, OBJ, la, Of which $3.50, 40 is in mines
and real estate, s222, 800 in furnaces,

The Manhattan Elevated railway has
avoided a curious suit for damages by
paying a small sum to the aggrieved
person. Not many weeks g an old
gentleman. with bundles in both hands
and ticket between his lips, toiled up
the stairs of an elevated railway station,
and hurrying along toward his train
attempted to deposit his ticket by sim
ply opening his mouth over the ticket
choppers box and trusting the rest to
gravity. But gravity did its work too
well, for not only did the ticket fall in.
but along with it fell his false teeth.
The old gentleman, amid the unsym-
pathetic grins Of the assembled crowd,
set down his bundles and vainly en-
deavored to fish out the teeth. Then
an officer of the station came to his aid
with a bent wire, but the teeth refused
to bite, and while the old gentleman
was looking around for some bait with
which to tempt his lost property, the
impatient ticket. chopper pumped the
teeth and sundry accumulated tickets
into the hidden bowels Of his boz. and
the old gentleman went on his way In
an unpleasant state of mind. In due
time his complaint in writing reached
headquarters, and by the advice of
counsel the company paid for one set
of false teeth.-New York Sun.

That the noble horse has "a friendly
feeling in his bosom" for his equine
brothers and sisters there is not the
slightest doubt.
Two venerable looking horses were
standing at the noo hour in Third ave-
nue., neal Twenty-third street. One
was attached to a grocery wagon and
stood vis-a-vis to the other, which was
hitched to an express wagon. The first
one was contentedly munching oats
from a bag fastened to his head, and
the other rubbed his nose w~istfuIly
against the bag as much as to say, ~
want some"
The grocery horse sympathized at
once, and raising his head high he
''nosed" up some of the oats to the
edge of the bag SO that the express
horse could lick them off with his
tongue, thus dividing his luncheon.
Several persons saw the incident and
laughed heartily at tho generosity OF
the grocery horse and the eager appre-
citation of 1t shown by the other ami

10 dealers in hosiery in the United
States has been recently patented in sew
eral European countries, and an appli-
cation for a patent is on file in the
American patent office. Said device
consists Of a combination stocking and

band through n welt at the top of the
stocking.
The ends Of the elastic appear outside
Of the welt. and may be arranged to
fasten with n button or a fancy clasp
similar TO those used on kid gloves. The
elastic can DO drawn out and inserted at

Tradition says that the twelfth day
from Christmas day was remarkable for
having been that upon which the visit
Of the Magi took place, upon which
Christ was baptized, the water at Cana
turned into wine and the five thousand
fed. For 800 years it was kept by east
err Christians as the day upon which
Christ wa born. and among ourselves it
was long observed with great festivities.
We are told that in the reign Of King
Alfred a law was passed ''by virtue OF
which the twelve days after the nativity
Of our Saviour were made festivals"
The last day was accounted the great
est Of the twelve. and especially given
up TO Christmas gambols" and the Wis
iting Of friends. The custom seems long
to nave continued in force, for in the
Sixteenth century Twelfth day seems to
have been kept with as much zeal Us
Christmas. The royal family at court
led the way, the universities and the inns
Of court following them in the extent OF
their festivities. At the temple the
whole twelve days were kept with great
care, and many Of the country gentle
men followed the same custom. In some
parts of England the very poorest peo-
Pile contrived to keep the twelve days
with such good cheer for themselves and
their neighbors as their means would
allow.-ExchAnge.

The strangest thing happened in a
Scotchman's house, where one of the
SON had come home for a fortnight's
visit. He was a prosperous young
Glasgow merchant, and brought his
people a number of pretty souvenirs.
The morning of his departure a bill
for two weeks board was laid on his
plate, itemizing everything to the cam
dies burned in his bedroom. In no
way offended by this observance of q
time honored custom, the young fellow
looked through the account, and OBJ
jected to a charge for bacon he had
never eaten. 1.-THE meat was on the
table, my son, and If you failed TO en-
Joy it you must pay for being a fool"
replied his father. And so he rendered
his Indebtedness to the last farthing.
