Light of Nature,

Men strike their knife through the

themselves with lancets until the blood

from human bones, found the light Of
nature sufficient? Has the Chinese
woman, with her foot cramped and de-
formed into a cows hoof found the
light of nature sufficient? Could the
ancients see heaven from the heights
of Ida or Olympus? No! 1 call upon
the pagodas of superstition, the Brah-
mimic tortures, the infanticide of the
Ganges, the bloody wheels of the Jug
gernaut to prove that Of the light ma
ture is not sufficient.

A WELL SPENT LIFE.
Sixty Years AS Newspaper Compositor
Has Seen Many Changes.

Probably. the oldest. compositor on
any paper in the United States is Wal
ter w. Woolnough, the veteran of the
michigan press" as he has been called
for years. The venerable typo began
the work as boy and throughout his
years as editor of many well-known
papers retained his skill with the
stick" it being his peculiar fancy to
set up all his own editorials and other
matter
Mr.. Woolnough, who is now nearly
ninety years of age, began his news
paper work as foreman of the Ashta-
bula, O., Sentinel, the political organ
of Joshua R. Giddings, the famous anti
slavery congressman. Subsequently
they moved, for fear of their lives, to
Rochester, N. Y, where Mr.. Woolnough
remained until 1S45, after iaboring in
the cause
He then came to Michigan and took
charge of the mechanical department
| of the Western Citizen. In 1916 he be-
came one of the editors and proprietors
of the Michigan Tribune, a whig paper,
which afterward suspended Then the
former editor became a printer on the
Signal of Liberty, vehement apostle
of antl-slavery, edited by Erastus hus-
sey, leader of the underground rail-
way system for assisting runaway
slaves to escape.
He passed through various changes
up to 1871, when he became associated
with Bodine, the then well-known pol
itician, publishing the Michigan Trib-
une, which supported Horace Greeley
for president and became the organ of
the liberal republican wing Of the de-
mocracy. He soon became writer Of
the most forcible and pungent edito-
rials, which were in demand over the
entire country.
Together with long career of mu-
nicipal office-holding he was also a
leading member of the Michigan legis-
lature before the civil war, but left the
political arena for the newspaper field.
Up to this day the venerable compost
tor, heavily burdened with years and
very feeble, never misses his seat be-
hind his case at the Battle Creek
Moon office, and still handles the type
in rapid and accurate manner.

Left the Doomed Steamer,

A peculiar incident is related OF the
freight sheds of the Portland Steam
ship Company in Portland. On board
the illfated Portland was cat with .
family of kittens. The cat formerly
occupied the warm corner of the
kitchen in a house on Munjoy Hill,
until she was taken on board the
steamer few months ago. She had
made many trips and appeared to
greatly enjoy her life on the ocean
wave. Shortly before the Portland
left this city on her last trip to Bos-
ton, however, the cat deserted. She
left her family arS. everything SEEM

the ship. Soon after the Portland
sailed the cat turned up once moro at
her old home on the hill where she
now is.-Bangor Commercial.

A pretty use of old-fashionnd fine
embroidered cambria handkerchiefs
with their exquisite corner pieces, and
in size equal to two of those now in
vogue, is to cut off each corner so as
to turn it into a reyer. A straight
band of cambric should be sewed on
the bias side SO as to keep it firm.
These bits look wonderfully we'll turn

straight borders for the bottom OF the
sleeves, and for turning over the collar

No more black umbrellas. The
umbrella must match the costume, for
the winter. Ii you wear dark red
cloth suit, you must carry dark red
silk umbrella to match; and dark
blue, dark green, and even-shaded
umbrellas to match costumes are be-
ing made for the winter season. AL
ready some of the best tailors in town
are receiving orders for umbrellas to
match costumes. Ordered in this
way, they are naturally very expen-
sive. Thrifty women who want to
follow the new fad will purchase silk
to match their tailor suits, take it,
with the frame of an old umbrella, to
local umbrella or parasol maker,
and, for a comparatively small sum of
money, keep in the rapidly moving
van of fashion. 1t should be borne
in mind that the fad is for storm

The prime agency in the civilization
of the world and in the advancement
OF sciences, arts, and invention has
been commerce. The great business
of exchanging the products of one
country or state for those of another
has lei to the discovery of new coun-
tries, until the habitable world
is fully charted; has established
lines of vessels upon every nav
igable water; has compelled the con-
struction of railways in every pro-
gressive land Commerce built up
the ancient PhGnicians and the mod
ern empire of great Britain at the
beginning and end of a long
lapse of centuries, during which
China, sleeping behind her wall and
declining intercourse with CONNER
clal nations, made no advance what
ever that was not forced upon her.
Commerce has built up the great
cities OF the earth, and those which
have become greatest are those best
situated to command the commerce OF
the ocean. Inland towns which can
depend only upon the intercourse OF
contiguous states, whose products
must be moved by rail, are Eecessari-
ly more limited in growth than the
cities on the coast, on great lakes, or
on navigable rivers, which, from their
situation, can exchange the products
OF every portion of the plohe.

This Seasons Style in Corsets.

There is change in the style OF
this seasons corset. From the ribbon
girdle and short French corsets which
have been in vogue for the past few
months we are to change to the high
bust and long-waist afairs-the Eng
lish style being the order of the day,
while the size of the waist is to un
dergo no change.
For several seasons the demand for
corset which would allow women TO
enjoy, as we'll as participate in, the
outdoor sports, by giving them more
room for breathing purposes just above
and about the waist, has been inces-
SAINT, and as result, though the cor
set remains as popular as ever, certain
changes have been instituted in its
makeup which are entirely beneficial
and have made the fashioned,
heavily boned corset thing of the
past.
First, French cnmbric, satin, silk
and doeskin have entirely superseded
coutille, which was generally consid-
cred the ideal material for corsets, and
is as far as wear is concerned. but is
now thought to be far too stiff and
heavy. Another change is the de-
crease in the number of bones en-
ployed. AS they are now made the
corsets are boned only in the back and
front, the under-arm lines being omit
ted. That the size of the waist is not
lessened by this style of corset seems
to make no apparent difference, and
the opinion is that after they have
once been worn they will not be re-
linquished without struggle.
To the stout woman corset Is an
absolute necessity, and to the slender,
when it serves as a support for the
bust and helps to carry the weight OF
the clothes, it is in many cases indis-
pensable. Queen.
