Dr.. John Ellis, IN an article Cd
corsets, which portion Of female
dress he pronounces "The great
evil OF the age" says:
off there are any evils in the
world which should be prohibited
by legal enactments, surely the
painting, engraving, pubic exhi-
bfioI, and printing and circulaIien
through our periodicals and mails
OF such false and perverted repre-.
Of the female fnrm, and
the manufacture and sale OF The
corsets which are so rapidly i'm.
pairing the health and vitality of
our women aud Il US aiding in the
of the native American
race, shOald be prohibited. We
men are responsible for the con-
tinuance of these evils unrestrain
ed, for we only hold the right to
vote for legislators. Let onr girls
and women cast away their corse's
and tight dresses they will feel
ali gone for a time; stand Up as
erect as possible, repeatedly draw
IN a full breath and expand their
lungs 10 their utmost capacity many
times day, and they will receive
renewed vitality, strength, health,
and beauty, and our native race
may yet be preserved from the
threatened aunihlIatiOn."

A Queer BURGLAR Tran.

Il went one night" said the retired
burglar, Into the room Of a man who
had his clothes stacked up on a chair
alongside the bed, with the trousers
thrown on top in q careless sort Of
way, as though he had been too tired or
too lazy to straighten 'em out. The
right-hand pocket looked inviting, and
reached into it. There was a pocket
book there, but when l tried to pull it
out my hand was held on the sharp
points of 4 dozen wires. >
You have seen those mouse traps
with little cone-shaped wire tunnels
for the mouse to run his head into {?
He can get his head in easily enough
but when he wants to pull it out the
ends of the wires stick into his head
and neck and hold him. Well, this
man had fixed up q continuance like
that in his pocket. / could have freed
myself by taking little time and using
9 little more patience, but I said to
myself, ''Why not carry the trousers
off and take my time about it?' /
gathered them up and started. 1t was
q mistake. | hadn't got six feet be-
fore l felt q tug, and the points were
pulled into my hand deeper than ever:
OF course I knew at once what it all
meant; there was q cord attached to
one of the trousers legs and the other
end of it was tied to the mans hand,
and that was what / had brought up
against.
He was out of bed in a minute. I
made bluff at him, but, hampered as
! was with practically only ono hand,
I really wasn't in it at all, and in less
than two minutes he had me tied up
waiting for the police.-New York Sun.

unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
used, they are dt,Vays IN fdror. Their sec

regular, not to further constipate, as is tho
case with other pills Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-

tive in arousing the liver to action than "hlue

care Is required while using them.

vegetable extracts, their cost is much more
than is that of other pills found in the mar
