AN ERICAN
Lady COrSetS.

The fit of Corset is essential as tho dress
ing of woman. A woman cannot afford to
risk pressure from bad fitting corset
against their delicate organs. These organs
! cannot he replaced by mortal. but the Ameri-
can Lady Corset will help to brace one up to
a feeling of exquisite deigbtfulness without
the least pressure.
The manufacturers Of the American Lady
CoIsets should feel proud for having the
largest lumber of woman tenants 10 occupy
their different numbers of scientific made
corsets. Science combined with modern made
machinery and skilled labor is not adequate
to.supply the great demand for this corset Of
comfort.
The merits Of the American Lady Corsets
are something like the sands in the Atlantic
Ocean-they are unoountabe.
Women, when wearing the American Lady
! Corssts, become charming and fascinating and
their winning ways melt the most obdurato
heart of men bachelors Men bachelors soon
become extinct and American women crown
ed with laurels of greatness.

set. The American women are civilized be-

esting They were the brigantine Lo-
renzo. taken by the Montgomery near
Havana on Friday while bound from
Rio de Ia Plata with a cargo of dried
beef. Ensign Osborn and a prize crew
brought her in. Curiously enough, an
American was among those made pris-
Oners. Seaman Scott of Baltimore was
'shanghaied" by the Spaniard's crew
at Buenos Ayres, and he was glad to
get back in American hands even as n
prisoner. He was in the Confederate
army during the civil war.
The Espana, a little fishing sloop, was
taken by the Morrill, about three miles
Off Manel just after the engagement at
Havana. The Newport was close at
hand at the time, and a prize crew
made up from both ships brought the
capture in today
The third vessel taken was the
schooner Padre de Dios. Master Mateo
Herrera, laden with fish. She was taken
by the Newport off Mariel and was
brought in by petty officer and a prize
crew. All three accepted one blank
shot apiece as sufficient.
Interesting details are being added to
the story of the entrance of the French
frigate Dubourdieu into Havana yes
terday. 1t is said that after the fleet
released her she was seen transmitting
heliograph signals to the Cuban shore.

An Agreeable Cough Mixture.

Children can often be induced to take
mothers" cough mixture when they
pull wry faces over a physicians
prescription. Most housewives have
some old and tried cough mixture
recipe by which they set great store,
but should there be some among my
readers who do not possess such a
recipe, I would suggest their adoption
of the following miNture, which will
be found very soothing 90 the throat
and chest: Get three large, fresh lem
ons and boil them in already boiling
water for about seven minutes; then,
when tender, slice them very thin, put
the slices in a bowl together with q
pound Of best moist sugar, and set the
bowl on the stove for some hours, so
that the contents may almost be said
to have distilled. Then take the bowl
from the fire and let the contents cool
for half an hour. Lastly, stir in q table
spoonful of oil of sweet almonds, and
give teasPoonful Of the mixture at n
time when the throat is irritated.-

WHERE SPINsTERs ABOUND.
OF Aliens Keeps Many Of Their
Women Single.

Spinsters are said TO be more numer-
Gus in the Bermuda islands in proper
ton to the population than in almost
any other locality. This epinsterhood
is due to the stringent property laws.
The semitropical climate of the islands
and their isolation have made of the in
habitauts Of English stock q quiet, al
most sluggish folk, Of a simplicity near
~ ArcadiaE- The women especially,
many OF whom live very narrow lives,
never leaving the islands. are remarka-
bic for their old-fashioned hospitality
and natural ease of manner which
seems 10 arise from an entire faith in
those with whom they come IN contact.
In Bermuda, as in England, property,
especially real estate, remains in the
same family for long periods, and some
OF the descendants of the first settlers
still possess lands which have never
passed out of their families. No alien
can acquire title to land in Bermuda,
either by purchase or Inheritance. This
is chiefly a precautionary measure
against the Portuguese, who flock to
the country and go in largely for onion
growing. But the law provides that if
a woman marries a foreigner she shall
rot only lose her landed property, but
shall also become incapable of inherit
ing any. This law is naturally not popu-
lar with the ladies, who sec their broth
ers mate with Americans and other
aliens, and would fain have the same
liberty. Occasionally Bermudan girls
renOunce their birthrights for loves
sake, but as rule the charms of penni-
less maidens are not sufficient for young
men 20 desire them for wives, and thus
many girlsare doomed TO single blessed
ness in Bermuda simply by the law Of
the land.-Chicago Chronicle.

A FAMILY TRAIT.
Descendants Of Col. George Manning
Have Followed His Example
OF EIOpIng.

1t is the latest dictum OF science that
acquired traits are not inherited. In
the case Of the Manning family, the dis
position of the first member of whom
there is anyf record must have been
transmitted and the disposition has led
to eight, if not nine. elopements.
George Manning was hired by Gen.
Wheeler, of Steuben county, n. y,
many years ago 90 cut timber. He fell
in love with Wheeler's daughter and
she loved him, but her aristocratic fa-
ther would not have it. They eloped
and were married, going into Warren
county, Pa., then wilderness. Here
Manning became very rich and was a
colonel in the war OF 1879. One Of his
daughters loved and WAS loved by one
OF his workmen named Sawyer. Man
ming would not consent, so they eloped.
Three years later another daughter
eloped and was married TO a young doc
tor, Sullivan. who became rich and IA
nous. DIR. Sullivan's daughter eloped
with and was married TO young man
who was Objectionable to her father
Another daughter fell in love with a
young man and this time, to prevent an
elopement, the father gave his consent.
Then the girl eloped with another
lover.
Col Manning, the first eloper, had u
son, also named Jason. The young
man fell in love with the daughter Of
one of his fathers transfers, which
made Col Manning furious. Jason
cloped with and married the girl To
Jason were born a son and a daughter.
The son loved a young woman and
when his father opposed him hs'eloped
with and married her. Jason's daugh-
ter loS.d a young lawyer, George Nc
Cormicll, but her father would not ale
low her to receive him. 50 she eloped
with him and they were married. Now
Jason's son, who eloped, has daugh-
ter, who recently eloped with George
Burns, her mothers cousin. The per-
son who gives all this information says
another elopemcnt is imminent
