ABOUT TIGHT LhCiNS.
Medical Records Prove that the Evil fs
Not Abating.

It would still he premature To con-
clude that we have done with the prac-
tice of the i'll effects Of tight lacing.
We're we disposed to doubt the preva-
lence Of this custom the medical records
of every day could prove its continu-
ance. nor can we see how il should be
otherwise as long as the stiff corset re-
tains its place as an article Of dress.
Now and then some fatal miSchance is
found to be tracea bic To its abuse.
while instances where ill-health has
been the penalty are far from uncom-
mon. Every practitioner Is familiar
with cases of this kind. and it needs no
searching examination TO convince him
that among the pallid complexions and
palpitating hearts which require his at
tention some are directly tracea-
Bile to the pinching vanity of
the corset Why this effect should fol-
low such a cause we need hardly ex-
plain to medical readers. They can
well appreciate the vicious influence of
cramping pressure exercised upon the
trunk and its viscera without cessation
for the greater part of every day.
Let us. nevertheless discuss briefly
the effect of such pressure upon the
different organs exposed to il. Natural
IL the kidneys being deeply placed may
be expected 10 escape entirely from its
direct action and they constitute the
sole example of such immunity. The
lungs and heart suffer almost II not in
equal degree and the con sequences in
their case are visihl in impaired reSpira-
ton. defective nutrition Of the blood,
with consequent impoverishment of
every organ and tissue. and a weakened
and excited or languid cardiac action,

an instance lately reported. in fatal syn
cope. The effect upon digestion il note
worthy. There being but little space
for the normal expansion Of the stem
ach after eating. less and less food is
taken until the foolish sufferer is viz
tualIy half-starved. Constipation is
necessary sequel. and hatulent disten-
sion adds another impediment To the
course of a Ia boring circulation and
overpressed respiratory organs. Natu-
rally those viSoers which lie low in tho
pelvis feel this strain, so that almost
every function required for healthy ex-
istence is deprived OF It's normal exer-
else. What then Of health itself? And
need we feel surprised if now and then
the thoughtless vanity which thus ex-
changes every physical comfort for mere
appearance leads 70 forfeit II life also?

The Oklahoma experiment station has
lately received many complaints OF insect
pests, with request for relief. The cut
worm family and the squash bugs seem TO
be the worst offenders, and really difficult
to manage. The director recommends for
the various squash bugs the uses III spray
of soapsuds to which has been added
enough paris green TO give a decided tlnge
to the solution. Older plants should also
be hilled to the first leaf. II the stem
shows signs of decay il is from the pres
ence of the larva, or maggots, producing
the squash bugs, and the vines should be
pulled up and burned without delay. The
moths that"are so common around the
lamps these warm evenings are IN most
instances the perfect insects of some OF the
cutworm families and should be destroyed.
The station says that if into pan of water
you pour an inch of water and table
spoonful of kerosene, and set lighted
lantern or lamp in place where the moths
eau be attracted by the flame, they will
dash down, fall into the oil and die. If
this plan were pursued by our farmers
persistently in the spring Tor few years
the cutworm plague would be thing of
the past.

A prominent Roman Catholic clergy

Rome relates this episode of his expe-
rience in the Eternal City;

evening at the house of one of the

among the dignitaries of the church in
Rome for his parsimOny and the power

that an invitation to dinner by him is

The Canadian commission which came
TO Kansas to investigate the workings of
the prohibitory law, appears TO have
given Wichita the cold shoulder The
commission visited Topeka, Kansas City
and Leavenworth and it was the general
understanding that visit was TO be paid
places named, accompanied as they
were by the personal representative and
chief advocate of prohibition, the COM
mission very naturally concluded that it
was unnecessary to investigate further
in this state. 1t is learned that the COM
mission went direct from Leavenworth
to Omaha and Lincoln to investigate the
high license system.

: TEMPERANCE SERMON.

Rev. DR. Winters, III pursuance OF a
request made by the State Temperance
Union. addressed himself to the subject
of the use of intoxIcants in his Sunday
morning discourse, precluding the text
and sermon with the recital or portrayal
| of an allegorical picture for the children
and youth present, which was vivid in
its realistic colorines and very effective.
In the midst of peaceful vallies, nestled
between mountains whose crystal
streams lave and nourish the flowers and
grains thereof, stands castle at once
enclosing banqueting halls Of tinsel and
attraction, frequented by youth and
frivolity, and again by dungeons and
prisons filled with dispairIng slaves and
frenzied demons, each, and all, subjects
of a master who is giant.
The recital was Mtened to by the
closest attention. In the Introduction
of the sermon which followed, DR.. Win
ter said that it was not his purpose to
discuss the wisdom Of prohibitory laws,
constitutional or statutory, farther than
to say that 20 be true patriot one must
stand for the enforcement Of all law, as
only in their strictest enforcement could
their wisdom and efficiency be deter
mined, when, if found unjust or impo-
tent, they would be repealed-that the
annulling Of legal enactments by tramp
ling upon them. therefore, Is not only
unpatriotic. but crime. In dealing
with the woes and crimes traceableto
int0Xicants that have so continuously
and persistently marred and burtbened
society and governments. the speaker
cited a number of instances coming
within his own knowledge as resident
of some OF our large cities, which were
50 pathetic as 10 net only vislbly effect
the audience but the speaker himself.
That the discourse was potent for good.
none who heard him viii question. In
Temperance, and such like crimes against
nature, that come Of appetites and pas
sions, are only sure Of destruction by edu-
cation. BY the slow process of elevating
the human standard of moral perception
can the abuses and diseases of appetite
and of passion be sta Jed, and in attain
ing TO such a standard of universal
recognition and obedience what
insrumentality is so great OF so effective
as that of right education, which carries
with it hereditary conditions and con-
victions that no after temptation can
reach or betray: Such lessons as DR..
Winters incuIcato6 arc NOT SOupht 10 he
evaded, trampled upon or annulled, con-
sequently cannot be attended or fol-
lowed by any baleful recoil or revusion
as too often results from arbitrary force
and from such penal laws whose just
ness is questioned.

Englishmen are apt to confound At

known to European nations. One of

pay wages to their own slaves whenever
the latter are required to carry ivory
and produce to the coast. Even Tippo
lib pays his numerous slave soldiers
under such peaceful circumstances.
The explanation of this anomaly seems
to be that war is a far more ancient
and primitive institution than labor.
When domestic slavery was first in
troduced' into Africa regular labor
was unknown; the right to monopolize
the slaves labor was therefore never

The Emporia Republican says: "The
Canadian prohibition commissioners are
of the opinion that Kansas City, Kansas,
is the worst town they have visited on

is right on the Missouri line, there is

Kansas City Gazette to remark that the
commissioners have since said they were
misquOted. In fact Kansas City, Kan
