his spinal column feeling in condition to
snap like pipestem at any minute, would
readily give great deal to get out of his di-
lemma. and yet this is only the commonest

But no such state of affairs is indi-

Novelties in waists are being con-

as it is necessary to buy seven yards
of serge for one dress skirt, the separ-

New Disease.

A brand new disease has just been
reported from England, says an Eastern
exchange. They call it scrumpox. 1t
is found among football players, and
the first outbreak of it occurred at
Wellington College. 1t is form of
skin disease, and the college medical
officer names it football impetigo.
The disease usually attacks the face
and sometimes the hands. So far the
disease has been found only among
those who play the Rugby game.
