SOME nIIs6IONAKY WORK.

The people of this country are getting taste this year of how it feels to be con- sidered heathen. Missionary Webb has descended upon us with the assertion tha: there is but one God and Mahomet is his prophet. He tells us that we are no better than Mshometsns, and In some ways not as good. And hs laughs at our pretcnsions that we know more about religion than all the older and more numerous peoples. We do not hear that he Is making many con verts, but we hsve no doubt be Ia turning some from what he thinks Is "the error of their ways" He Is certainly skillful and aggressive missionary.
 But the missionary who has perhaps made the most sensation in this country ia | Dharmspals, the Buddhist priest of Cal outta who came here to attend the worlds congress of religions at Chicago. He pre- sented his case the other day In way that has attracted great deal of attention. He asked the people of this country If they really thought they had the exciusive pos session of the divine light. He asked how many of the large audience before him had ever read any life of Buddhs. Four held up their hands. He ssked how many had ever read any history of Confucius. Five made sign that they had. Thenhe asked what sense there was in despising and re- jectinga religion that hadn't been examined and studied to see whether there was good in it or not. He further said "Juggernsut has been populsrizsd oJ Christian missionaries, and yet commis sion composed of eminent Englishmsn hal declared that the Christian idea of jugger naut is a myth, and that death and blooc are repulsive to our people. This Chris tian story has been exploded. It has gon into oblivion" With it goes many Sun day school story In this good land of ours Continuing, the priest defended his owl faith and scored Christians without spar
 ipg. "You complain that you do no make converts among us," said he; "yo
 preach God of love, but in your action d you are selfish. You make of an ignoran
 or an unsophisticatsd man perfect hypc
 crite."

The CorSetin Ancient Times.

The ladies' corset, against which cru ssde has for some years been going on, is by no means of modern date. A writer in Woman says: Aslender figure wac admired even in the days of the Greeks and Romans. Seveal means were then tried to restrain an expanding figure aRd to enhance the beau ties of sllght one. Bandsgss were worn, and when they failed those who valued the beauty of their figures snveloped the upper part of the body with garlsnds of Ivy, which were thrown on the fire as soon as withdrawn, and then the upper part of the figure was rubbed over with goose fai mixed with warm milk, or with the egg oi a partridge.
 AS Europe emerged from barbarian intc a state of semi civilization the women be gan to compress their waists with a very tight bodice of linen next the skin. Neither whalebone, wood nor steel was, however employed at that time. With the adyen of Catherine de Mediei a new era dswned She introduced the real whaleboned bodic'
 with a strong busk in front, and her ex
 ample was soon initiated by all Europe
 Waist compression increased In spite o

PROTECTION NOT ALL A FRAUD.

PROTECTION NOT ALL A FRAUD.
 Protection is a fraud" say the Demo- crats. It is also "unconstitutional," ac- cording to the same authority. Aud yet number of Democrats who voted last fall in accordance with their talking are now acting very inconsistently with their talking and their voting then. For in- stance, hers is our old friend John H. Leeds of this city In Washington with Gen. eral Skiddy trying to persuade the Ways and Means committee that evsn if protec ton Is fraud and unconstitutional in a general way it ia not entirely 50 when sp- piled to his business. He seems 10 feel that if licoriee paste isn't protected to the extent of at least five cents a pound the making of 1t iu this country will bs jsop- ardizsd and American consumers will be placed at the mercy of European manu- lecturers and importers, ss they were be- fore the Amsricsn industry was established under the protection given by the law. Many millions of capital are invested in this industry, and the price oflicorice paste, which was twenty-seven cents & pound to the consumer when the Europeans controll- ed the American market, has been reduced to eight cents 8 pound. It also looks to him as if the duties on dye-wood extracts shouldn't be reduced, because even with the present duty they are subject to severe competition from French manufacturers and importers. Some years ago American manufacturers of dye-wood extracts not only supplied the entire market for domes- tic consumers, but ex ported their product to all parts of the world. A few years ago France imposed prohibitory duty on such extracts and thereby not only built up the industry in that country, but enabled French manufacturers to sell their surplus exceedingly cheap in other countries They now furnish large part of the amount consumed in the U nited States The French duty on logwood and othei dye-wood extracts is twice ss high as the United States tariff on the same products.
 Brother Lseds Is finding 1t hard In thes
 days to be 8 good, consistent emocrat
 The protection which he hslps d declare
 fraud last fall looks diff erent to him now
 And so 1t does to many who voted as h
 did and whose business is suffering, or wh:
 can't get work.

 Like many dissgreesble people, the wasp
 though intolsIsble In society, Is paragon
 of domestic virtue-of the fussy, hand
 working, grate and window cleaning kind.
 Moreover, the wasp invented papier. msche,
 and the swarm slave st the production of
 this patent material with all the energy
 and conscious merit of s South Yorkshire
 manufacturing community. The nests, if
 lsss beautiful than soms enthusiasts Asseri,
 are extremely curious snd interesting, and
 In the early stages Of their construction
 they gain much in elegance from the nA-
 ture of the building material used. The

 actual founder, builder, mother, and nurse

chief ministers and nobles of the land. Never since armor had been invented had any stiffer framework for the human body been devised. The appointed bodice was as stiff and hard as combined wire, whale bone and steel would make 1t; and, to add to the discomforts which fashion die tsted, the neck was likewise supported by a ruff not only formed upon an elaborate background of metal and thick wires, but stiffsned by the newly discovered devils uquorn-starch. Thus 6 machine, which had begun innocently enough As tight fitting linen bodice, was gradually dsyel- oped by the addition of busks of wood, ivory, and whslebcne, and of sheets snd strips of steel, until a veritsble srmor- like encasing resulted. These stiff whale boned corsets were prominent features of the Restoration fashions and of the wattesu period; but the revolution at the end of the eighteenth cen tury, which shook not only France but all Europe had an equally subversive effect upon corsets. They disappeared completely, and the corsetus, as Catherine de Medici introduced it, has never reap peared. Towards the end of the reign of the first Napoleon, several of the leaders of Psrisian fashion tried to revive the Medici corsets, but they never succeeded in con quering the strong opposition. Women, however, began to wear stiff b0dioes again, and just as the waist WAS gradually re- gaining its natural position, compression once more became the order of the day, and the corset with which we are now familiar was invented.
