! New Argument Against Corsets
This
is the
shape of
woman'S waist
on which a corset tight
is laced. The ribs, deformed
by being squeezed, press
on the lungs, till they're
diseased. The heart
is damned and
cannot pump
the liver
is a
tor
pid lump;
the stomach
crushed, cannot
digest; and in mess
are all compressed. There
fore, this silly woman grows
to be a fearful mass of woes,
but thinks she has lovely
shape, though hideous
as crippled ape.
This is
woman's
natural waist,
with corset never
yet disgraced. Inside it.
Is a mine of health. Outside,
of charms it has a wealth.
1t is a thing of beauty
true, and a sweet joy
forever new. 1t
needs no artful

or hustle big
t o give it style
It's strong ard solid,
plump and sound, and
hard to get one arm
around. Alasi If woman

these corsets do, they'd let

The Final salute at Appomattor.

There occurred curious incident OF
which no mention is made in the books
which have treated of the closing scenes at
Appomattox. The n.uskets of the Confed-
crates were allowed to remain stacked on
the field. The grass caught fire in some way
and was allowed TO burn. So suddenly had
the fighting ceased on the morning Of the
9th that thousands OF the pieces were left
loaded. As the flames of the grass crept
along the line of the stacked muskets the
guns were heated to firing heat, and soon
there was an incesssnt popping. The balls
went up into the air. almost straight, until
the force of the discharge was spent, and
then dropped down. To this day the field
of surrender is strewn with these bullets,
and so little has Appomattox been visited
that the balls are easily found. This hiring
of the muskets by the burning grass was
the only salute that accompanied the sur
render. When Lee had received Grants
terms and accepted them, the firing of 100
guns in token of victory was begun, but
Grant quickly stopped it.-'S. Louis Globe.

committee, was shown by the action of the
House with reference to the duty on dia-
