Effect of a Nveii-cut Corset.

It is extraordinary what n trans.
formation well-cut corset will effect
in woman's appearance, and how,
without any perceptible pressure, the
waist may be heightened even as
much as two inches. This is really u
very important consideration at the
present time, when princess dresses
and eelskin skirts are so popular, and
any one who wishes to have an ele-
giant and graceful appearance should
first of all give consideration to the
corset, otherwise the work of the
dressmaker is likely to be lost.

Funny Chinese Ideas.

Many so-called educated Chinese
firmly believe that kingdom exists

one where all are giants; another
where all are women, and still an

sequins Are Fashiornhls.

Scquins are to be seen on many
things this winter, particularly or thin
goods with lace effects. White gowns
of net are covered With them, but
they must be sewed on carefully, and
home sewing is usually better than
that of the shops. 1t is better to
have no sequins at all than a sequin
off here and there. 1t is a degree
worse than missing boot button.

Habits of the Pygmies of Africa.

An ivory horn was also carried by
some of the Pygmies and with this,
also, most curious sounds could be
produced. They all carried bows and
arrows, and with them were most ex-
pert little marksmcn. Some of the
arrows were poisoned, others were
not; no doubt the poisoned ones are
used for their enemies, and the or.
dinary iron headed shafts for killing
the animals of the forest. I asked
my little friend what they lived upon,
and he told me nuts and fruits from
the trees and wild honey; also the
animals that they killed. "What ami
mails can you kill?" asked the little
chief who stood before me on this
memorable occasion. antelope,
buffalo and elephants" said he.
"What?" 1 said, "little people like
you killing buffalo aud elephantsl"
At which he laughed heartily and
turned to tell his companions what L
had said, and they also joined in the
fun. "How do you manage it?" I
asked. "With these" holding up his
bow and arrows. every many of us
surround the elephant and shoot
many arrows into it," "But," said I,
chow long do you take to kill an ele-
phant?" "Ohl" he replied, "some.
times three days, sometimes six days,
but when he is dead we make our
tents round the carcass and there stop
till we have eaten all the meat, and
then we hunt another elephant. +"

HOW OUR ARMY Is FED.
A DIVERSIFIED MENU FOR THE SOL.
DIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Eat Mutton Chops While on the, Firing
Line-Get Beef seven Days out of Ten
-Beans Come Every Day-Rico and
Native Sugar a Popular Dish.
The Manila correspondent Of the
Chicago Record, Harry A. Armstrong,
has written the following account OF
how our soldiers in the Philippines
are fed:
Major ID. L. Brainard, Chief of the
Commissary Department of the
Eighth Army Corps, has asked for
leave of absence that he may take
rest. The Major has been putting in
half time for several days past, and q
week ago he was sick at his head-
quarters. His physician has advised
him to get away from his desk, and if
he gets permission of General Otis he
will spend month or two in Japan,
far away from thoughts of bacon and
beans and out of sight of the cans OF
hardtack.
The Chief Commissary has no easy
time of it. About so, 900 soldiers are
fed three times day, and supplies
must be kept up for the sustenance of
the officers and the civil employees that
the Government hires. Upon the
efficiency of the Commissary every in
diyidual in the army is dependent.
Provision is being made for so, 900
troops, and additional supplies are
beginning to come by steamer. Or
ders are given first on the Commits
sary-General in Washington and the
supplies are bought in the States and
shipped out either by transports,
chartered vessels or commercial lines
by way of Hong Kong. The ship
ments are so arranged that cargo ar
rives every ten days. Cascoes go out
to meet the ships IN the bay and bring
the tons Of onions, potatoes, beef and
bacon to the storehouse. The variety
of things in these cargoes would suf-
fee to stock big grocery. The list
includes everything from soap,
candles, salt, salmon, beans, flour and
canned goods to pins, shoestrings and
matches. All the wants of the man
away from home are provided for, and
all at first cost to the Government.
The supply department is down on
the river front. Cascoes with red
noses and new wicker covers are tied
up five deep in the river before the
door and coolies teeter up to the dark
door of the cavernous warehouse with
boxes and bags from morning until
night.

Captain Krauthof has charge of the
''issues" department of the commits
sary, and it is his duty to keep stock
of his supplies, checking in" all the
things that come from the ship and
checking out" those things which
are taken away on requisition and
which go to the camps. He has his
Office in building that overlooks the
water front. His clerks enter the in
voices in one book and the requisi-
sitions in another, while sergeant
with half-dozen men takes care of
the warehouses. There are two of
these buildings, and when the army
increases there will be third These
structures have floor space of co.
600 square feet--nearly two acres
and are more than twenty feet in
height. The boxes of provisions are
piled up IN high walls with narrow
alleys running between. The sergeant
in charge knows where every article
is located and can lay his hands on
the wash-basins or the barrels of -four
when the requisitions call for them.
There are in storage provisions to the
amount of 2,700 tons, and the supply
is worth to the government something
like 5000, 900. There are supposed to
be at least 100000 rations in the
depots.

This does not include tho issues

have to pay treble the prices. Goods
sold by merchants have had to pay

cover the expenses of freight.

pounds of supplies every thirty days.
Twenty ounces of beef are issued to
each man seven days out Of ten. The
issue of ten days rations for the 3d.
600 men amounts to 262, 500 pounds.
The beef is usually frozen when it
gets out in the field. 1t is kept frozen
on shipboard long before the boat
sails from San Francisco. Sometimes
the meat issue is of mutton and the
men enjoy the luxury of eating mutton
chops while in line Mt the front.
Bacon comes two days in ten and
makes total for the month of 1885,
600 pounds. Tho men like bacon,
however, and would not protest if it
came oftener on the bill OF fare. Sal
mon comes one day in ten. There
never has been raging demand for
fish that comes in tins, but of this
10000 cans go out every month. OF
-four 1,012, 500 pounds are used
monthly. Beans come every day, and
it takes 1876, 900 pounds month to go
around. About rs, 750 pounds of rice
are used every month, with seven
days issue out Of ten. Rice, toe, is q
popular dish, and when served with
native sugar is palatable delicacy.
Oatmeal is issued in the same guam
tity as rice. Dried fruits-sometimes
evaporated apples and sometimes ap-
ricots-come seven DAYS out of ten,
1880 pounds being issued each
month.
Potatoes are issued every day, in
bushel crates, and when the issue for
the ten days is complete %, 800 pounds
are gone OF onions 1876, 600 pounds
q month are used. Tomatoes are used
to the weight of 10000 pounds a
month. OF green coffee 80, 900 pounds
a month are required and 1900
pounds of roasted and ground coffee
are used in the same period. The army
requires 5000 gallons of vinegar, So,
100 pounds Of salt, $3.50 pounds of
black pepper, 36, 900 pounds of soap
and 10, 800 pounds of candles month
ly. Altogether the total supplies Of
the army amount to 2l5, ,025 pounds u
day, 1,46l,0 pounds for ten days
and 4,392, 900 for the total of thirty
days. For year this makes a grand
total of 81, ,4Sl,125 pounds, or about
