Love Could not Conquer.

things it cannot conquer. Among
them are headache, biIiousness, dys-
pepsia, constipation and piles. But if
love cannot conquer them, DR.. Pierce's 5

There is no telling to what we are
coming. The emancipated women
has for several years been demonstrate
ing that the corset is responsible for
considerable more than half the ills

claiming over the length and breadth
of this land and England, and where
ever she could obtain an audience,
that the corset must 60. Many wo-
men have already renounced it ana
thematiEed it, and regarding with
feelingsof lofty pity their sisters who
still retain it. The earthly paradise
of the future, we have been assured
is to be tenanted only by corsetIess
women.
After hearing SO much of this talk
that she half begins to believe it
it lis with something of a shock
one discovers that the masculine
swell is beginning to adopt that por-
tion of the feminine outfit that has
come in for the largest share of abuse.
It is somewhat curious that although
according to the emancipated women,
the corset plays the mischief with wo-
mans health and anatomy, when
clapped around mans waist,
if the manufacturer of it is to be be-
lieved, it is an unmitgateel blessing.
Besides showing of the figure and
enabling the tailor to ensu re an effec-
tive tit and distinguished ap pearance''

This is equivalent to saying the op.
opponents contend it dosen't do for
women it will do for men. That may
be labelled important if true" But,

HOW TREY LOCK.
A Glimpse Of the keHnebsc Jail Prisoners in
Their New suits.

The prisoners of the Kennebec county
Jail are robe1 in their uniforms of black
and white color. Some seemed pleased
with the costume while others abhor the
idea of wearing such conspicuous dress.
The stripes circle the body and are about
three or four inches in width. The sizes
a coarse, solid and apparently durable
quality of cotton and wool. Several un-
occupied cells have been set aside and
hooks arranged in them SO that the clothes
taken from each prisoner may be numbered
and placed here for safe keeping. With
out doubt this scheme will save the county
bill ofexpense, as heretofore the county had
to pay the expense Of supplying prisoner,
who had served out his time, with suitable
clothing to wear when he went from the
jail These colored suits can be easily
washed and will then present q new and
fresh appearance.
The county commissioners are now con-
sidering the sdvisabilisy Of providing the
prisoners with some kind Of work while In
the jail. They think IL this scheme has
proved successful in other county jaiIs it
may prove Of equal value for the Kennebee
Jail.
1t is generally agreed that some move to
rid the county Of so many worthless tramps
should be inaugurated before very long.
The fellows now in the county jail seem
to enjoy their existence within its walls.

grow feshy, and the atmosphere seems TO

 The inventor was asked what he thought of the possibility of drawing new food from the earth by electricity, He said he saw no reason why itshou1d not be done.
 'Only few reactions are necessary" he replied. ''I think that inorganic elements may be made to furnish sus- tenance. The carbohydrates, such as sugar and starch, would probably be the cheaper" MT. Edison did not say, however, how it could be done. Per- haps he contemplates trying 1t. And when MT. Edison contemplates doing anything he generally waits until he, does it before he says anything about it.,
 He is not believer in the lately heralded method of using high-tensioni currents for producing light. This is the current of which Nikola Tesla is the strongest advocate. We must ex- pect. 80 they say. a wonderful revo1u- ton in the lighting of our houses during the next decade. It will come from invisible sources and the rooms will be in glow of hght-an essen- tially modern condition. MT. Edison does not think it practical from the fact that he does not believe people would use it.
 II do not think people would use it." he says, "because it does away with. some very essential qualities which a good light should possess. The human eye is adapted by nature to encounter red and yellow rays in the light with which it comes in contact. We have 1t in the sun, in gas, in the incandescent light, in the candle, and so forth. When we reduce the amount of energy per candle power we lose these red and ultra yellow rays and we gradually ascend the scale. We might start with gas and go on through the va. rious degrees till we got to the

arc light; and go still further ti1l at last we would reach the light of the common glow worm. The glow worm produces a light, but withoutany of these red and yellow rays to which we are accustomed The energy is very small. 1t Is the same with these high tension currents. Now, no one would want a sepulchral light--the light we are accustomed to connect with graves and vaults. You have seen a room lit up with phosphorescent paint. You may read by 1t but you would not care for it always. No. The eyes are built flor very ultra violet or reddish rays; for compound ray light, not one ray light. Nature is against it.'
