Governor TaylOr's OratOry.

Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, has
been at it again, and it is hard to tell
where it is to end, if he keeps it up at
the present rate. Not long since the
world was informed that "every old
bald headed state in the Union made
love to Tennessee. While the public
was struggling to regain its breath
from this rhetorical explosion, the ca
persome and untrammeled imagination
Of the iridescent orator scared aloft in
to the empyrean shedding from its
BRIGHT wings of poesy the beautiful
feather Conformation that "Texas is the
biggest waffle on the griddle of America,
which is sweetened by the Louey
of happiness pouring from the bung-
lole of prosperity" Here even the de-
,otees of the governors Pegasus must
)e stabbed for season forrecuperation.
But not So Inspiration is all that is
needed in that quarter, and be it said to
che credit of the great Tennessean, that
comes easy. Consequently when he
visited Missouri few day ago, he went
at it again with the enthusiastic declara-
ZION that "Gov. Stephens is the bright
est button on the shirt Of Missouri. "
1t is useless to ask where all of this
is to end, for so great is the stock of
oratorical pyrotechnios evidently on
hand that it is safe to assume that it
is not to end at ALL Consequently, no
me need be surprised to learn that
Pixies Peak is the most exhaulted nose
IN the silvered but clear and vigorous
head of Colorado, that Chicago is the
biggest and brightest collar button that
ever held pair of pajams on the Union,
while California is the broadest and
brightest stripe that ever adorned the
trousers of nation. - Philadelphia

Horse Meat for Export.

The American Horse-meat Company
of New Jersey has obtained a license
from the Kearny, N. j., authorities to
carry on the business of making sugar
cured horse hams, smoked horse tender
loins, picked side ribs of horse and
plain salt horse, all of it strictly for ex-
port. At least the company has given
bonds of 81, ,000 to sell none of its pro-
duct for consumption in America, and
it claims to have large trade already
established in Europe. The license
was granted on Monday night, and the
concern will occupy the slaughter house
on the Kearny meadows, near Frank
creek, formerly used for the slaughter
of sheep.
DR.. J. V. Laddey, a United States
meat inspector and graduate Of the
College of Veterinary Surgeons of New
York, has charge of the plant. He has
also given bonds to keep the place free
from odors and other nuisances.
The horse meat is to be shipped from
Kearny packed in casks and cases duly
branded as horse meat, and each pack.

The Sudden Hip Corset.

The fiat -fronted bias-cut corset is the
latest novelty in stays, and needless to
say it emanates from Paris. 1t is shap-
ed with number of cores forming
curved bias sides; this corset conforms
to the figure, following closely the
curve of the waist and allowing the
hips to swell out suddenly, hence its
name, "the sudden hip corset" 1t also
leaves the bust uncompressed, avoiding
the pushed-up effect so unnatural and
ugly where woman possesses a surplus
of flesh.
The new corset gives the waist won
derful slenderness and suppleness, the
widening of the hips accentuating it to
a remarkable degree. The dressmakers
have accepted this innovation and are
recommending it to their customers.
