CORSETS FOR FAT MEN.

A mans corset was on exhibition at the recent
national dressmakers convention in Chicago.
Women peeked at, grew pale, and turned away
their faces. Then the men crowded around the eX-
hibit and-sixty orders taken in afternoon.
One of the men dressmakers advocated the corset,
saying:
'It will take the place of the suspender, which
has always tended to make round shOuldered.
You see there is fastener on this corset for holding
the trousers in place and the thing is perfectly
Portable and convenient 1t is laced up in the back,
but it need not be laced tightly. This question of
holding the clothes in place is trial to Besides,
with the new fitted coat, which has to stay, we
have got to have some such thing a corset to make
a fit possible Men like to have nice waists, just as
well as women"
The mans corset is said to look much like the
girdle which women wear. 1t is very low and fits
comfortably over the hips 1t is fastened in front
with soft steel, just is the girde, and is made of
many colored silks, pale pink and blue being the
popular colors.
Go tell the news to the Florida flat woods farmer
and stock man.
A pale pink corset? The suspender must go? A
long felt want
This same dressmakers' convention laid down the
rules as to corsets 'straight fronts nothing" 1t
comes to us straight that the purpose of the mod
ern corset is to modify the obtrusiveness of the
stomach and this direction, THE straight front
corset may be adjusted to stout women by lying
down" Upon getting up the stomach effect dis
appears.

WHEN PRAYER is BLAsPHEMY.

1t was fitting there should be scandal over the
coffin of Queen Henrietta. Not that the dead queen
deserved it. That good woman died of broken
heart. Her pure life was like that of lily IN the
muck of Belgums degenerate court. What hap
pened over her dead body was only continuation
Of the scandals which filled her cup of while
living.
The dissolute Leopold, husband only in name, re-
fused to enter the death chamber at Spa until the
Princess Stephanie departed. Then, the telegram
said ''he entered the death chamber and prayed be-
fore the coffin for twenty-five minutes"
What travesty on human devotons
This old libertine, whose liasons with nOtori Gus
women twice drove the dead queen to seek suicide,
prays to God Almighty.
If the poor Israete, Uzzah, who put his hand forth
to steady the ark of the covenant struck dead,
how could this man live and pray?
What better right had he to stand in the presence
of the honored dead than Stephanie? Stephanie,
the only decent of the whole royal lot. Louise,
the eldest daughter, made world scandal and is in
mad house. Princess Clementine is an imbecie.
Sacrilege?
President Baer throws the responsibility for the
anthracite strike on the Almighty. The st. Louis
boodlers invoked the name of God to bind them
selves in oath to plumber the public The de-
bauched and profgate Leopold turns his only de-
cent daughter out of her mothers death chamber
and prays over her coffin

The sanctimOnous horse editor of the Gainesville
News produces the following cathedra bit of theo-
logical swibosh as an editorial in his issue of the
I'd inst:
The Bible teaches that ''the wicked shall be cast
into hell with all the nations that forget God" This
shows that it is not necessary to be wicked for one
be lost, but the forgetting of God is cause enough
Let the wicked man forsake his way and the un-
righteous man his thoughts" This is Bible in
junction. and shows that may be unrighteous
and yet not necessarily wicked. Every wicked per-
son is unrghteous but it does not follow that every
unrighteous man is wicked. Both classes, however,
are on the road to eternity, and nothing but the
grace of God can prevent their destruction.
The writer is probably the same individual who
advocated the dspensary system Of liquor selling,
system which contemplated the states engaging in
the business of debauching its citizens for revenue
When such men engage in the business of peltlng
readers with biblical lore and horsy interpretations
thereof it's no wonder editor McCreary of the Sun
enters vigorous protest at the loss of subscriber.
No sane man, publishing paper that smacks of the
earth, earthly" can hope to compete with such a
yhangdoode combination of asinine righteousness
and assumed statecraft.
