In an article on "Women's Clothing
and HYGIENE" contributed to the Re.
vue scientifique by M. Frantz Gle
nard. the author controverts popular
ideas on the subject of the corset. He
lays down the following propositions:
Il. The corset has its raison d'etre
from the esthetic point Of view.
2. Esthetics and hygiene may be
reconciled in women's clothing, even
in the corset.
SO. .he corset may be Of use in GER
tain maladies."
These statements. which he 40
knowledges are somewhat audacioua
on the part Of a hygienist, he at

Minister's Makeshift All Right Until
the Maid Appeared.
A distinguished Episcopal clergy
man was once called on to oficiate at
a fashionable summer resort church,
and, finding only a short surplice and
no cassock in the vestry, was very
much disturbed at the thought of hav-
ing to appear In a vesture that to tho
frivolous would look like a white shirt
and trousers. But a happy inspiration
came to him. Why not wear one OF
his wife's black %petticoats? The por-
ton that would show below the sur
plice would look exactly like the regu-
-lation cassock. and nc n would ever
be the wiser. So he hurriedly sent
one Of the ushers with an explanatory
note to his wife in the hotel, and In
the nick OF time the petticoat arrived.
The makeshift turned out to be a per-
feet success, and no one at a distance
could tell that he vas not wearing q
cassock. After the close of the SER
vice he decided to go out to the body
of the church without taking OF his
robes, in order to greet some friends.
And he was soon the center Of a
group of fashionable women. when a
green Irish maid from the hotel came
up, and In a loud voice said to him:

Probably the most wild and unjusti-
fable of all the crude beliefs respect
ing geological resources Is that which
holds to the conviction that by going
deep enough the drill is sur to find
something Of value, no matter at what
point the work Of boring is .commenc-
ed. There are numerous wise persona
in every community, estimable, infiu-
entail. and in the highest degree pub
lie spirited. who ara convinced that
the question, for example, Of finding
coal In their special locality is simply
q matter Of the depth to which the ex-
plorations are carried. Rock oil and
natural gas are recognized as desirable
products in every progressive COM
munity, and every such community
contains persons, In other respects in
telligent, who are ready to stake their
own fortune and that Of their nearest
friends on the belief that oil and gas
are everywhere underneath the sur
face, and that their sources can be
tapped with the drill. providing only

If there is a thing dear to a wom-
ans heart and enhancing to her beau.
ty it is q lovely parasol. This season
the designers seem to have tried
themselves in bringing this artistic
creation up to the requirements of
feminine taste.
There is a parasol for every style
of woman from, the one who buys a
Duchesse lace affair behandled with
ivory and snugly cased in a long pale
green straw box adorned with lilies of
th~ea2alley and "choux" of white rib
bon, to the one who buys a simple
linen sunshade. For the conservative
woman it is a Joy to find the color and
form she likes the best-the quiet
f~awn-colored parasol. For the pretty,
fresh girl, or her more wilted sister in
a soft linen gown, this modish parasol
is the thing par excellence. It has a
silk spun lining in pink or blue, or
any preferred color, and a lace inser-
ton on the outside, showing the col
ored lining.

There are several boys in the peer
age who. owing to the death of their
father or some other relative, became
hereditary legislators before they

after, and several little peeresses who
succeeded to their titles at an imma-

esses, in their coronation robes and
coronets, it is proposed to corral in
one group, which would make a pref

earl marshal would better provide q

Napoleon wealth.
Napoleon Bonaparte's will, among
those Of great men, affords the near
est parallel to that of Cecil Rhodes in
the fortune 1t bequeathed. He was
surely the richest exile since the world
began. From his lonely home 1T st.
Helena he bequeathed to his relatives
and friends $40, ,000. He had been
rich, in gold as In power, beyond the
dreams of avarice, and there must
have passed through his hands a pri-
vate fortune such as mortal man has
rarely dreamed Of. His exactions set
down at nearly 1915, 000, 900, which is.
after all, but six times multiplying the
gift he secured for himself from the
Austrian treasury after Austerlitz. He
died forty times a millionaire.
