about the same thing.

COrSets.

1t Is a fact we'll authenticated that
coIsets were originally adopted. not
for health or comfort, but to conceal
physical defects-that fruitful source
Of numberless oddities Of fashion.
When or by whom the first corset was
worn Is buried deep under the cobwebs
of time. 1t is safe. however. to con-
clude that they had their beginning in
stiffened bands Of cloth that Grecian
and Roman women wound round their
bodies. The physical beauty Of these
women was a paramount consideration
both to themselves and their uege lords.
They called these swathing bands fas-
cia ard zona. The former was made Of
heavy linen or kid. and was worn next
the skin, 'betweeA the W11k en1 tho
bust. The Romans greatly admired an
undeveloped figure, and resorted to
measures to retard natures growth.
These heavy bands were frequently
bound about the chests Of growing girls.
The zOna was also q fiat band, but
worn over the tunic; 1t was generally
red in color and. though ordinarily SIM
pie in design, women Of rank frequently
made their zonas gorgeous with bright
colored embroidery and studdings Of
jewels. The fourteenth century saw
the Introduction Of a garment that bore
the first semblance to the corset Of to-
day. 1t was cut to conform to the fig
ure. and was laced. sometimes In front,
sometimes at the back. 1t was made
of various materials, and was often fur
bordered, which was excusable. since
1t was laced over the skirts.

The Most Precious Gen.

Prof. ]. W. Judd, in q recent lecture
in London, gave some facts not gener-
ally known concerning the comparative
value Of diamonds and rubies. He had
the best authority. he said, for stating
that a ruby weighing as much as five
carats is worth ten to twelve times as
much as u diamond Of the same weight.

stead Of the diamond. Is the material
which embOdies the highest money

Py Canoe from Atlantic 70 Pacific.
Mr.. F. C. Nicholas recently described
the gold fields Of Western Colombia for
the geological section Of the New York
Academy of Sciences. and incidentally
pointed out a route by which, in the
wet season. man might go in a canoe
from the Atlantic to the Pacific across
America. The proposed route follows
the River Atrato to the divide. which
lies in u series of swamps, and then,
by way Of one or two smaller streams.

empties into the Pacific.

Confidence the keynote 60 Success.
Doubt and unbelief mean destIuc-
ton to any business. and a man who
loses confidence in his own affairs finds
failure awaiting him in q short time,
writes Evangelist Moody to his Bible
Glass in the Ladies' Home Journal
Uncertainty disQualifies for work ami
usefulness and doubt that caused tie
recent state Of depression In our busi-
ness interests. Financiers and ecOno-
mists differed in their views regarding
the political causes Of this feeling Of
Insecurity, but they generally agreed in
directly attributing the reverses to tha
lack Of assurance In business circles.
Confidence Is essential to success in
every pursuit of life. And this self
same truth Is no less evident In Spirit
ual things than it Is in temporal affairs.
The only Christian life that Is useful
to the church of God and to fellowmen
is the one which is assured Of its own
salvation. Distrust and unbelief mean
sadness and care to any soul; but JOY
and rest come with the certain knowl
edge Of forgiveness and favor With

Everything points to a mighty
rush to Alaska in the spring. The
interest has not died out, nor does it
lie very dormant. The stories of
hardship told by returning miners
have not dampened the ardor of the
gold and the discoveries of
new claims along Copper. creek have
intensified the fever. From all over
the United States parties are planning
to leave for Klondike and the ada
oent fields, and the movement of last
fall will be eclipsed by the rush in
the spring. Portland is acting wise
ly in preparing for the trade that
will surely be conducted with the
Northwest. Seattle has the bulge so
far, but the very satisfactory

has secured places it in position TO

4 DANGEROUS poRTENr.

Not since the days of the memora-
BILE Tweed ring in New York City
shave the citizens of that place been
called upon to participate in muni-
cipal campaign which promised more
momentous results than does the
contest now being waged for the
mayoraly. The forces of corruption
are united against the adherents of
good government, as they have been
on former occasions, but new ele
ment has entered into the situation,
which promises, unless nipped in the
bud. TO grow into an alarming por-
tent. Henry George, the we'll
known soclalistic leader, Is waging
an aggressive fight, and is being en-.
Enthusiastically supported by the dis
contented dreamers and agitators of
all ranks and conditions. The worst
elements of our political life are sup.
porting George, and he in return is
promising to the rable all the OBJ
jects which, in their perverted judg-
ment, they have long desired.
George is a socialist in an extreme
sense, and though heretofore man
of seeming honesty of purpose, he
has degenerated into low type of
demagogue. In an address made
night or two ago he made use of this
: remarkable language:
For the republic now I care moth
ing; but it is to the republic that is
coming that bow down to worship.
Not republic of tramps and mill
ionaires; not republic where one
man has the power of a czar; not to
this republic, but to the one which is
yet to come, republic of God,
Christian republic in the true sense
of the word.
What this means the du!lest can
understand. It is the statement of
mind too visionary to deal with the
practical affairs of world such as
this. 1t raises the question seriously
whether great portion of the Amer
ican people are capable of self gov
ernmen. The country has long suf-
fered from political corruption, and
now it must do battle against the
wild theories of irresponsible dream
ers.
Tammany's rule in New York is
bad enough, but the election of
George would be far worse for the
substantial interests Of the city. AS
far as the local interests of New
York's citizens ale concerned, the
defeat of George is as necessary as
the downthrow of Bryan. If Low
cannot be elected, as seems doubtful
now, at least George should be de-
feated, and that would leave the
spoils with Tammany, condition to
which New York people are long
accustomed.

Jay A. Frazier Meets an
UntimeIy Death.

The NEWS regrets to chronicle
the tragic death OF one Of the
brightest young men in the
ranks OF Lawrence county's- teach
ers. II was but yesterday, when
the young man was In Louisa, buoy
ant in health and spirits, hopeful
that In the future no would win a
place and name to which his indus
try and ability justly entitled him.
lie came to this city and was paid
the amount due him as teacher OF
the public school at Buchanan. In
a day or two he left his home after
engaging a successor as teacher,and
started westward iotry his fortunes
In another State. Nothing was
heard from him Until last Saturday
morning when a telegram from
Willard, Missouri, cnme to his IA
ther, Ell ID. Frazier, saying thathis
son had been killed by a train at
the place from which the dispatch
came, and asking what should be
done with the body. The particu-
lars are meager. At this writing,
the body has not been sent to his
father, who resides on Blaine creek,
a mile or two from Catalpa. II Il
inferred from the telegram that
young Frazier must have found
employment as news agent on q
train and while thus engaged met
his death.
Mr.. Frazier was unmarried and
about 30 years Of age. He was q
bright young fellow, one OF the best
teachers we had. He had no diff
Guilty IN obtaining a first-class GER
tiflcate whenever he was examined
aud was always a leader in the
county Institute. His sudden and
swful death is greatly to be depIor
cd, aud the NEWS extends a warm
sympathy TO all his relatives and
friends.
