TALK ABOUT CORSETs.

Why the Smart Woman fs so Well
Stnyed-Lenrn How to Wear a Corset.
The corsetiere who knows her business,
says L'Art de la Mode, can supply the cor
rect shape of corset from time to time as
the figure develops, but the woman for
whom the corsets are made must do some
of the work herself. Nine. X herself says
that with all the corsets in the world she
cannot keep her promise to produce a per-
feet figure unless the woman who wears
them will do her part. She must learn to
walk well, to sit correctly, to carry her
self properly, to hold her head up, to ele-
Vate the bust by raising the chest to where
1t belongs, and to keep the shoulders where
they should be (Which is where they fall
naturally when the chest Is carried up
where 1t belongs).
Then, again. while every corset must be
nodded to conform to the figure it encir-
cies' the woman who appreciates a good
ngure must have several corsetS at one
time For the cloth tailor-made gown
there must be one corset, for the decollete
dinner gown another kind, for the neglige
robes de chambre another style, for the BIZ
cycle quite another, and on.
The correct bicycle corset, for example
Is ventilated. and over the hips has merely
side steel and some elastic bands. The
dinner corset about the bust is shaped to
cohiorm 10 the lOW-Eecked bodice. The
corset for the lounging gown is little more
than a bust support. The corset for
walking gown Is built close and high
above the bust and long over the abdomen.
The corset for the empire gown has no bust
to speak of. and is little more than a belt,
&C.
The woman who by patience and prac-
tlce and proper corseting has acquired
good figure can wear a corset longer than
the woman who has a shamblng carriage
and 'fops' instead of sitting correctly
Ihe latter soon forces the bones which
support the corset into improper shape,
and then II she continues to wear it her
hgure will be nodded badly instead of we'll
A wel-known New York corsetiere, who
sympathizes with the woman who must be
economical, says that when q corset is seen
to be losing its shapelness 1t can be steam
ed until the bones are flexible, and then
over a fiatiron the bones can be restored to
tneir correct shape. This is only possible,
however. where the best materials are used
SO that the actual shaping of the corset
was done in cutting the forms, the bones
being used merely to hold the pieces in
place.
If corsets were worn in sight, as bonnets
are, what a revolution there would be in
their appearance.

DEMOCRATICHEA DQUARTERS
They Will Probably Be Located Rere at the
Old Wormley Hotel.
This Will Enable the Committee to
Work. With the Populist
and Silver Parties.

The location Of the national democratic
headquarters will be decided in a few days.
Senator Jones, chairman of the committee
Is expected here Saturday or Monday. There
Is strong disposition at present to locate
the headquarters in this city, and unless
Senator Jones' trip to the west has changed
his ideas on the subject it seems reasonably
certain that Washington will be sele cted.
Although the location of headquarters ct
Washington would be an entirely new de-
parture there are many reasons, with the
conditions which hedge about the csm-
paign, which point to this city as the most
available from which to conduct the COM
ing campaign.
Comparatively little aid is expected from
New York or Chicago. Besides the commit
tee Of the silver party has already rejected
Washington as headquarters, and all the
indications are that the populst committee
with Senator Butler at it's head will also
locate here II the democratic headquarters
were located in this city, 1t is claimed the
three committees could to a certain extent
work in conjunction for the union Of the
silver forces and the massing Of their
strength. Such fusion Of electoral tickets
as may be necessary to accomplish this re-
suit could also be more easily directed II
the several committees were working SIDE
by side.
But more important than all is the fact
that Senator German, whose long expert
once as a campaign manager would make
his services almost invaluable to the new
committee, has agreed to give Senator Jones
the benefit of his counsel and advice. He
does not. however, 1t is understood, desire
any official connection with the commit
tee, but If the headquarters are located here
he will be constantly in close touch with the
work as 1t progresses. Some of the local
democratic leaders here have secured an
option on the old Wormley Hotel in this
city as place for the headquarters. in case
Washington is selected. 1t is expected that
Senator Jones will announce the members
of the executive committee soon after his
arrival.
1t is understood that one of the considera-
tions in the proposition to locate here ad-
vanced by the party leaders is that the lead
ing newspapers of Washington would treat
the committee fairly, and would publish
unbiased and unprejudiced reports of the
work. 1t Is said that the Independent and
non-partisan character of the principal
Washington journals has been recognized
and appreciated by the committee.

Rules for Riders.

From Cycle Topics.
Wheelmen insist upon causing ceaseless
annoyance to themselves and their brethren
by falling to comply with the common
rules laid down for all riders. So many ac-
cidents have happened on the road which
might have been avoided with a little eau
tion, that it Is necessary for them to OBJ
serve the following hints:
Keep to the right of the road. Never
neglect this
Request permission of pedestrians for the
right of way.
Turn to one side for a heavy load, even
If you are on the right side.
Be ever ready to assist a female rider
IN distress on the road, without the formal

Done scorch. This means you.
Ride no faster than an eight mile an
hour gait in passing through villages where
you are unfamiliar with the ordinances.

A Town Built of One Tree.

From the San Francisco Post.
'Yes, sir, they have the greatest timber
on earth up in Humboldt county," ex-
claimed Sam McConaghy of the United
States mint. The trees up there are SO
big-well I'm not going to tell you how big
they are because you wouldn't believe it.
Don't know as / would believe 1t myself.
though do believe whole lot 1 tell. But
just to give you idea. nov. they cut
down one tree up there that made enough
lumber, pickets and shingles to build
whole town and fence it, and they've still
got logs enough left to put up building
as big as the Palace Hotel
The butt Of the tree was hollow too
for about fifty feet, and as 1t fell right
square across deep gulch they used 1t for
a bridge. Four-horse teams drive through
it, By little hewing out they can make
footpath on each side of the wagon road
through 1t. That tree was so tall that
when they commenced cutting 1t I'D they
had 20 make two camps-one at each end
for 1t was too far for the men working on
the top to walk back at night. don't know
what they would have done if several hun
dred feet hadn't been broken off the top

The case was argued briefly by the law
yers on both sides, Mr.. Beall contendinR
that If the article was libelous Woog was
the man who was at least morally guilty.
Mr.. Jeffords claimed that 1t made no differ
ence whence the story came, for it's publi-
cation constituted the libel.
In disposing of the case Judge Miller en-.
tered into a consideration Of the principles
underlying the laws of libel. In the present
case. he thought, the publication was a
libelous one. Cushing and Brooks, he
thought, had been sadly imposed upon, and
had evidently acted without any malice but
still enough of a case had been made out to
warrant holding them for the grand jury.
Bonds were fixed in the sum of $780,
