COMFORTABLE LACING.

A Suggestion for the Woman Whs
Finds Corsets Her Despair.
Here is a boon for the stout women,
who suffer from surplus of hips, etc..
and who have too much conscience or
100 hearty appetites to lace. Let them
give ear to the new theory of lacing
their corsets by which too solid flesh
may be held in allegiance. and yet no
harm done physically.
The dressmakers have gotten this
new device from physician, who says
to pull out your corset laces as you COW
have them. lay the eyelet sides OF the
corsets vis-a-vis, as though to begin a
fresh orthodox lacing. and then taking
one lacer put it from beneath through
an eye.et at the waist line on that side
Of the corset lying al your feet. Draw
the lacer through us far as the top eye
let, run through this one and let an end
four or five inches long project. Now
take the other Iacer and pass il through
that eyelet next below the one where
the other lacer first went through, and
draw it down to the bottom eyelet. run
through and let five-inch length hang.
Pick up the great end of the first LAGER
and begin zigzagging it back and forth
through eyelets on both sides OF the
two sections of the corset until an end
hangs out opposite the first end men
toned. With the long portion OF the
second lacer zigzag through the holes
of both pieces OF corset to the bottom
where an end must hang out opposite
the second end mentioned.
When so laced up, put on the corsets,
hook them and see what will happen.
Simply pull on the top and bottom ends
CT the laces that are not zigzagged
through, and the corset will first draw
in to fit about the waist and ribs COM
fortably and without pressure. At TOP
and bottom, though. where over the
bust and hips the edges of the stays al
ways project and add greatly to the
girth. these edges will draw in perfect
lv tight and fat No discomfort will be
felt, and, so lacing her stays, woman
can reduce her hip and bust measure
matter of three to five inches. In do
ing this the flesh is not rolled up under
her chin or thrust out in ungainly
Jumps, hut because the stay is easy al
the waist line and over the ribs the sur

Thief FLAG THAT TRIPPED BOOTH
Question Raised M to the Proper Dis
position of the Relic.

pOaitlOn Of the Relic.
Removal from one room in the treas
ury building to another of the flag
which tripped John Wilkes Footh and
caused him to fall and break his leg the
night he shot Abraham Lincoln has
raised the question as to the proper dis
position of the famous bit of bunting.
Grand Army of the Republic men want
it sent to the National museum, where
it can be properly taken care of. 1t is
one of the most interesting historic
relics in the country, and should be
carefully preserved. The flag happens
to be in the treasury department be
cause it was presented to the Treasury
light guard along with another in 1864
by the women of the department.. This
banner guard was of good use when
Jubal Early was threatening the cap
ital, but it did not have any fighting
to do.
April IL, 1865, two nights before the
assassination of President Lincoln. the
Treasury guard gave an entertainment
ut Ford's theater for charitable pur
poses. The theater was beautifully dec
GRATED. On the boxes used two nights
later by President Lincoln and the
white house party, were the two flags
mentioned. They gave the boxes such
= pretty appearance that the manager
of the theater requested that the fags
be allowed to remain until the night Of
the 14th, when the president was ex-
pected to be in attendance at a play.
The request was granted. and on the
arrival of the president at the theater
the fatal night he commented with
pleasure on the decorations, and ex-
pressed admiration for the flag which
hangs-in the treasury. In jumping
from the box after shooting the
president to the stage below. one
of the spurs of Booths foot caught
in the folds OF the flag. causing
him to lose his balance and fall. there.
by breaking his leg. The rent in the
flag is shown to visitors, and has been

what to Do II . Foreign BODY IN
tiers There.


tiers There.
A most alarming accident. ana one
which is often as serious as 1t iooks' Il
tie sucking into the windpipe OF NOR
sci of food or some other substance.
This is not a very rare accident, espe-
cially with children, whose hold-ali,
after the pockets are crammed. is usu-
ally the mouth.
The articles which have been drawn
into the larynx through the sudden tax
ing of deep breath are of the most va.
ried character, such as jackstones, nuts,
marbles, coins, buttons and pins. not to
mention burs, corks, tin whistles,
leeches, shawlpins, hairpins, false
teeth, and even a real tooth which
slipped from the forceps just as it had
been extracted. Pieces of food are
sometimes inhaled through hearty
laughing or excited talking while eat
ing.
The entrance Of the foreign sub
stance, even if it is only water. causes
violent coughing and spasmodic clos
ing of the larynx, which almost
amounts to suffocation. II the body has
passed through the larynx into the
windpipe, or has been thrown out. this
suffocative attack passes off. and the
sufferer may think his trouble is over.
Sometimes it is. If the coughing has
expelled the intruder, but if this has
fallen below the larynx the condition
is very serious. The body may be ex-
pelIed during another violent fit OF
coughing. but often it can be removed
only by the operation of opening the
windpipe. known as tracheotomy.
The danger of the accident depends
much upon the size and nature of the
substance inhaled; If it is hard,
smooth and rounded body, such as a
melon seed, small marble or pebble.
or the like, there is 4 very good chance
that it may be expelled in the same way
ii entered.
To favor this expulsion the patient
should lie down. with the head lower
than the feet, or he may be held up for
a minute or two by the heels, in order
to get the assistance of the force OF
gravity. This, however, should only be
done IL the doctor is at hand to perform
tracheo;omy as last resort. because
the foreign body may become fixed in a
narrow part of the larynx, and SO cause
suffocation.-Youth's Companion.

when asked him once. Il guess it is
the same way with everybody. You
hear what you have to hear. There
is a gong right over my bed ut home,
and 1 hear every stroke of it, but l
don't hear the baby. My wife hears the
baby if it as much as stirs in it's crib,
but not the gong" Very likely he is
right. The fact that the fireman can
hear and count correctly the strokes OF
the gong in his sleep has meant life to
many hundreds, and no end of property
saved; for it is in the early moments OF
fire that it can be dealt with summari-
ly. l recall one instance in which the
failure to interpret signal properly,
or the accident of taking wrong road
to the fire, cost a life, and, singularly
enough, that of the wife of one of the
firemen who answered the alarm. 1t
was all so pitiful, Sd tragic, thatit has left
mn indclible impression on my mind.
1t was the fire at which Patrick F. Lucas
earned the medal for that year by
snatchirg five persons out OF the very
laws of death in Dominick street tene-
ment. The alarm signal rang in the
hook-and-ladder company's quarters
in North Moore street, but was either
misunderstood or they made wrong
start. Instead of turning east to West
broadway, the truck turned west, and
went galloping toward Greenwich
street. 1t was only few seconds, the
time that was lost, but it was enough.
Fireman Murphy's heart went up in his
throat when, from his seat on the truck
as it flew toward the fire, he saw that
it was his own home that was burning.
Up on the fifth floor he found his wife
penned in. She died in his arms as he
carried her to the FIRE escape. The fire,
for once, had won in the race for life.

HUNGARIANS ARE PATRIOTIC.
Cry Hands Off to Austro- Hungary and
 Are Ready to Volunteer.

New York, May 6.-About 800 Hun garians gathered last night at the syn agogue of the Hungarian congregation Ohab Zedek and passed resolutions calling upon all Hungarians in the United States to assemble in their re spective cities and protest against Aus Hungarian interference in the pres ent crisis. The Hungarians assembled made patriotic speeches, and pledged their support to the United States gov ernment in the fight against Spain.
 Arrangements were made for the holding of mass meeting of Hungar- ians living in this city The meeting will be held on Tuesday night at Pro- gress hall, 28 and 30 Avenue A. A call was issued to all able-bodied Hungar- ians to enlist in any capacity in which they might be needed by this govern ment.
 The rabbi of the congregation Ohab Zedek announced that he had pre- pared special prayer to be offered up every Saturday that God might strengthen this nation and bring us victory.
 At the meeting to be held on Tues day next patriotic speeches will be made by Joseph Grosner of the Metro politan Life Insurance company and Sigmund Fodor, who is leader among the Hungarians of this city.

FRANCE MAY CHANGE.
Her Sympathy for Spain Due to Bond
 Obligations.

Paris, May 6.-As has been pointed out in these dispatches. the sympathy which France has manifested for Spain from the outset has been most marked. Whether i. will continue is likely to largely depend upon the man. ner in which Spain will meet her financial obligations.
 It is a fact that the sympathy of this country is founded upon financial reasons, and fear of a disturbance of European conditions. This is the se- cret, too, of the same feeling which prevails among small class of Eng 1ishmen who are interested in financial matters at London.
 It is almost a settled fact that Spain will default in the payment of the in terest which is almost due on her na- tional debt. She is bankrupt na- tion, and without power on the con- tinent ready to extend to her further credit. There has been an unloading of Spanish bonds recently here and in London.

NOT YET ACCEPTED.
The Naval Board on Construction Say
 She Is Too Dangerous.

Washington, May 6.-No decision has been reached by the navy depart ment in regard to the offer of John F. Holland to sell his submarine torpedo boat, named after himself, to the gov ernment.
 The board headed by Commander Sperry, which conducted experiments with the vessel at New York, recom- mended that she should not be pur- chased So did the naval board on construction. composed of bureau chiefs of the navy department. The naval strategy board is also opposed to her requirement. The Sperry boar d held that the bow had to be raised by derrick to put in the Holland tor pedoes. The Holland company say that this can be remedied easily.
 The board of construction hold that the vessel is too dangerous and that only a reckless man would volunteer to operate her. They say that such men should not be intrusted with her management. Another objection of the construction board Is that the price is too high. It is likely, how ever, that despite these objections, the navy department will appoint another board to test the Holland. The in. ventor has offered to operate the craft with his own crew, and proposed to the navy department to let him take her into Havana harbor.
