These Are for Travelling.

Before starting on your next trip be sure
to make yourself a plain dark silk bag
of suitable size, into which you can pop

Very convenient travelling cushions are
also now being made by women accus-

They are provided with a strap or handle

to carry easily, and a pocket into which
you may slip newspaper, magazine, book,
or perhaps stationery and pencil.

New York Feb. 10.-The first and the
most stringent commandment Of the mod
istes now is. you must be well corseted.
If you are not. and if you have principles
against reducing your waist measures by
means of a long, steady pull on your stay
strings. then don't for good looks sake,
attempt to have your spring gowns cut on
the new mode. A large waist is not to be
tolerated with the shape Of skirt and
basque we are now wearing and every
belief of her sex that comfort and
health ought to be invariably sacrificed
to beauty, is banting and lacing with
the vigor of fifty years ago.
This is woeful, but we are all painting
after small round zone, a sweeping hip
arch and a perfectly fiat abdomen, which
are only to be got by means of the new
canvas silk and linen stays, with their
tough silk laces Most of the new corsets
are, to begin with, absolutely plain; their
only ornamentation is a little decorative
needlework about their tips They are
heavily boned, but the best of them are
not made of the clumsy coutille, by the
strength of which such store used to be
laid.
Coutille, 1t is agreed, gives the figure a
stiff, hard expression, and nowadays the
desire is to be closely laced without losing
supple grace of aspect. The truly well cut
corsets are made very short in the back
curved out under the shoulder blade, and
on the hip proper they are short and bone
less while the steel and whalebone Is
brought TO the front. By this simple de-
vice il is wonderful the way useful curves
are thrown out and humpish superiority
crushed in and a woman whose stays are
very tight moves about with the apparent
elasticity of a skirt dancer.
Now, we won't raise any hygienic ques-
tons here, but rest on the assertion that
from modsh point of view the new corr
set accomplishes wonders, and if you hap
pen to be as thin as the proverbial fence
rail, so thin, indeed, that no amount Of
lacing could produce hips or bust, then
you can easily buy pair of prepared stays
that will produce them for you. These
will be made of a linen net, having aerat-
ed pads in the right places. The pads,
by the way, are so prepared as not to
heat the body and so diminish the flesh, as
clumsy cotton pads do Next summer
such delicately built women as need neith-
er to lace nor to pad win popularize the
sweetest little corsets made all of a tough,
fiat linen lace, while already for home

charge of being absent from duty while
preaching in Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, on the White Plains road, Wake
field, on Sunday evening, Jan. %. Capt.
John B. Herlihy of the Wakefield police
station filed charges yesterday.
1t is the first time In the history of the
New York police board that charges have
been preferred against a police officer for
preaching the gospel President York says
the roundsman had no business to preach
the gospel while on duty.
Roundsman Nesbitt explained that the
church people had begged him to preach
for them and that he told them it would
be impossible, but on that Sunday evening
his beat led by the door of the little church
and he was unable to resist the tempta-
ton to enter. For ten minutes he ad-
dressed the congregation. A short prayer
was offered, and the policeman preacher
left the church for his post

velvet stock is not good taste; 1t has been
superseded by a stiffened band of silk laid

invisible pins.

DAIRYMAIDs' sUPERSTITIONS.

Some Negroes Believe That the
Churn Cries for silver.
One of the oldest comes from the west
coast of Ireland. There, when a churning
of rich, foamy milk returns only an insig-
nihcant scrap of butter. the dairy maid
never lays it to the weather or the pas
ture. She knows instead that her cows
have been "over looked" That is to say,
some greedy and constituencies rival has
magically stolen her butter. First the
greedy neighbor waited for saints day
Then she went at daylight to the highest
point outside the pasture, turned her back
on the SUM- and just as it rose walked
backward three times in a circle, waving
her hands towards the grazing cows and
saying: Come all to me! Come all to
me!'
The priests know all about the bewtch-
ment since it falls to them 10 remedy the
trouble. Some of them tell astonishing
tales regarding il. To undo the charm the
priest first blesses a sprig of parsley,
which is laid secretly where the butter
stealer must step over 1t. Then at the
next churning in the robbed dairy the
priest comes in repeating Latin anathema
upon evil spirits and all their works. Pret-
~ soon the milk in the churn turns APP
newly dug pit and carefully buried. Then
everything in and about the dairy is
secured clean, sprig of fairywort nailed
over the door, and no milk brought in I'M
til after sunrise the next morning. The
next churning gives a double yield, and

a week-whether in chagriu, or from the
turning upon herself of her il-practices,

Just why the beef board visited
the Chicago packing houses is a
mystery-a mystery like unto that
which the packers placed in cans
and sold to the government for the
unfortunate soldiers. Surely the
board did not expect to find any
thing bad or offensive in the pack
ing houses at this late day. Surely
they did not expect to see the butch
ers going about with syringes and
embalming fluid in their hands, seek.
ing deceased cattle upon which to
operate. II the board expected to
discover these things they are a
green lot.
Charges were made against the
beef many months ago, and Gen.
Miles later emphasized them. Al
ready we have had one "investiga-
ton" that touched on tn. matter
lightly. Hence, the packers have
been on their guard. They have
had time to prepare for just such
visit as that made Thursday, and
they no doubt did SO. They would
be fools if they didn't, and they are
are not fools. Anyway, the beef on
trial is not that being packed now,
or last week, or month, but the beef
that was furnished the soldiers dur
ing 1898. That beef is not in the
Chicago packing houses, bu in the
sea or under the sod, with many of
those who were made sick by it.
That beef has already been shown
to have been bad, and ten thousand
visits TO the packing houses at this
time will not prove the contrary.
The beef board should have given
their attention solely to testimony in
Chicago, and avoided visits to the
packing houses, where they could
hope to learn nothing Of the matter
under investigation. .-Indianapo-

Game Law Prohibits Fishing With Lines
and Hooks in May or June.

The bright summer days Of May
and June will bring no Joy to the
boys who have planned to while
away the time with their poles and
lines on the banks of some good
fishing water. 1t will be no use
for them to plan all week for Satur-
day, nor will it do any good to play
nookey and 60 fishing.
The game laws make them liable
to arrest if they are caught fishing
in any way in these two months
The people who made the law have
some reason for fixing fi' OF from
So to $50 if the boys and men Try t,
catch fish in May or June, but i
will be hard for the sportsmen tc
understand.
The section of the new bill that
will cause SO much displeasure to
the youthful sportsman ard older
ones too, reads as follows;
"Catching fish in any way in May
and June is prohibited and fishing
in any way except with hook and
line between January and July |
(except in ApiiD is prohibited in
all small streams and lakes, though
allowed in private ponds.
Surveyor of Customs, Walter
Viele, who is lover of fishing,
thinks that a liberal construction
can be made OF the law. He does
not think there is another state that
prohibits fishing with a pole and
line. He thinks the real meaning
is to stop the use of trst lines and
seines.
Mr.. Niee does not know why the
fishing should be stopped in any
month except April, the breeding
m month. Evansville Courier.
