DEFENSE OF coRsErs.
Reasons Why They Are Needed
by Modern Women.

In an article on "Women's Clothing
and Hygiene" contributed to the
Revue scientifique by M. Frantz Glen.
ard, the author conrroverts popular
ideas on the subject of the corset. He
lays down the following propositions:
81. The corset has it's 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. The corset may be Of use in Ger.
tain maladies."
These statements, which he &C.
knowledges are somewhat audacious
on the part of hygienist, he attempts
to justify in the course of his article.
AS to the first, he remarks that the
adoption of clothing by man is the re-
suit neither Of modesty nor of desire
to protect the body against the wealth
er; it is result, he asserts, wholly of
desire for adornment-thesam that
leads the savage to tattoo himself.
Mems costume has tended more and
more to straight lines, signifying &C.
ton; women's to curved lines, signify
ing, according to the author, that they
are ''made to please" "Rigidity and
strength for man." he says, Supple
ness and fascination for woman. The
corset, then, is an attempt to preserve
and accentuate the curved outline of
the waist. Dr.. 49,. .r

MEET AFTER Il YEARS.
Cou.in. Who Parted in Anger to Enc
ter the Two Armies In 1861
Meet Again.

John C. Anderson and r. L. Dobson,
of Louisville, KY, were lately visiting
at the home of Policeman Frank Dob
son, Mechanicsville. Mr.. Anderson is
cousin of Policeman Dobson, and &.
L. Dobson, brother. Mr.. Andersonl il
a stone cutter. Mr.. Dobson is cornice
maker, relates the Knoxville (Tenn.)
Journal.
Mr.. Anderson, who is now in the
sixties, has not visited Knoxville since
he left here in 1861, to join the confed-
crate army. His departure was dra-
matte and his return closes quarrel
which he began when he left. He and
another cousin, r. NJ. Eliza, of Kern
Place, North Knoxville, were young
men and much together short time
before the civil war began. AS the
war came on and sectional bitterness
and prejudices rose to high pitch,
the views held by the two cousins grew
wider apart. One night in the early
days of 1861, they were up town to-
gether. They argued the questions
and discussed the issues, Anderson
ably unfolding the southern side and
Eliza just as ably unfolding the union
side. They walked home, all the time
keeping up heated argument. When
near large sycamore tree, which yet
stands OH Jacks boro street, they
stopped and continued their discus
sion. Under the sycamore the cousins
quarreled over the issues of states
rights and slavery until late in the
night, each trying to convince the
other that he was right. Finally they
parted, Eliza declaring that if he met
Anderson in battle he would treat him
as he would any other rebel. An
derson told Ezra that, should he see
him in battle he would shoot him as he
would any other Yankee. They parted
in anger, and, eager to defend their
respective principles, both left that
night to join their pective armies.
The fortunes of war were not UNI
kind to either, though both felt the
dangers and hardships the'soldier, and
both were wounded. Anderson was
severely wounded at one time; Eliza,
on returning from the war, was aboard
the ill-fated Sultana, and was one Of
the survivors of the horrible explosion
Of the boats boilers.
Eliza returned to this city, and has
made his home here since. Anderson
went to Louisville, the Mecca of thou
sands of confederate soldiers at the
close of the war. Neither man had for
given the other, though as the years

The Soldier!-meek the title, yet Divine;
Therefore, with reverence as with wild
acclaim,
We fain would honor in exalted line
The glorious lineage Of the glorious name
The Soldierl-Lo, he ever was, and is,
Our countrys high custodian, by right
OF patriot blood that brims that heart Of
his '
With fiercest love, yet honor infinite.
The Soldier-within whose invioiate care
The nation takes repose-her Utmost fame
OF freedom has its guardian there,
AS have her forts and fleets on land and
main; ~
The heavenward banner, as its ripples
stream
Through silken meshes ever Sits the
CLEAN
OF sunshine on its sentinel below.
The SoIdier!-Why, the very utterance
Is music-as Of rallying bugles, blent
chants
OF battle hymns that shake the con-
tinfnt-s
The Thunder chorus OF a world is stirred
To awful universal jubilee
Yet ever through it, pure and sweet, are
heard
The prayers of womanhood and infancy.
Even as a fateful tempest sudden loosed
Upon our sense, SO our thoughts are
blown
Back where the soldier battled, nor refused
A grave all nameless in a cline unkn own.
The Soldier-though, perchance, worn, old
and gray:
The Soldier - though, perchance. the
merest lad
The Soldier-though he gave his life away,
Hearing the shout OF Victory" was
His veins We're drained at freedoms holy
Rschristening the land-as first it was
His blood poured thus in sacramento sign
OF new baptism OF the hallowed name
My country'-now on every lip once
more
And blest of God with still enduring fame
Ehis thought even then the Soldier glor
The dying eyes appraised in rapture there,
As. haply, he RENE mbers how breeze
Once swept his boyish brow and tossed
his hair,
Under the fresh bloom of the orchard
When his heart hurried, in some willful
haste
OF ecstacy. and his quick breath was
wild
And balmy-sharp and chilly-sweet to state,
And he lowered godlike, though trem-
bling child!
Again, through luminous mists. he saw
the skies
Far fields white-tented; and in gray and
blue
And dazzling gold, he saw vast armies'rise
And fuse in tire-from which, in sWiftest
view
The old flag scared, and friend and foe as
one
Blert in an instant's vivid mirage-then
The eyes closed smiling on the smiling
That changed the seer child again.
And, even so, the Soldier slept-our own!
The Soldier of our piaudits, flowers and
tears,
o this memorial of bronze and stone
His love. shall outlast this thousand
years!
Yet, as the towering symbol bids us do,
With soul saluting as salutes the hand,
We answer as the Soldier answered to
The Captains high command.

az KIND YOURSELF.

Would YOU have the world be kind?
Then be kind yourself!
Hide not gifts Of heart or mind
On the futures shelf
Give what you can spare, and more.
From tosday's most precious store.
Would you meet with truth? Then truth
You must proffer first.
N Life hath need of grace and ruth.
SS But, through best and worst.
B Truths gold passes, clear and straight
And is always worth its weight!
Would you honor gain? Be,swift
To give honor due;
The deserving to uplift,'
Crown the crowned anew
With laurels they have won
In whatever work, we'll done.
Would you be beloved? Then love!
And be sure of this
Whatso'er lifes gifts may prove.
All that was, or IS
Grand. or dear, or fair, is less
Than Love S matchless loneliness!

most universal vogue. In England the
temperance movement is almost if not
quite as strong as it is in America.
During the last few years the bar
maid has BEEN the cause of numerous
skirmishes between the so-called
liquor element and British blue-rib-
boners, yet she always has come out
of each individual attack with little
more popularity added to her occu-
patton, and as far removed from sup
preston as when the agitation began.
British innkeepers look upon the
lassie behind the bar as stock in
trade more productive, in fact, than
the liquors they sell, for it is admit
ted that without her much Of the pa
tronags of public houses would melt
away. The barmaid is, in fact,
great drawing card for the public
house. If she happens to be pretty,
possessed of an attractive face and be-
witching manners, she is greater
drawing card than if nature had been
less liberal with her, but at any event,
she is more valuable from the inn
keepers point of view than bar boys
or men, and that is why each attempt
of temperance workers to ousther has
met with such vigorous and concerted
opposition.
Now, however, it is believed by both
factions that the grand climax of the
years of effort on the barmaid ques-
ton is near at hand. The agitation
recently begun in Glasgow is regard
ed as the opening skirmish of a
mighty struggle that has been prepar-
ing for the last two years between the
temperance folk and the liquor SELL
ers of the United Kingdom. If the
movement succeeds in Scotland it is
considered altogether probable that
it may cross the Tweed and envelop
England. r.
In selecting Glasgow as the place in
which to launch the crusade against
the barmaid, those composing the
"anti" faction did not act without dis
playing wisdom and keen foresight.
The Scots are strongly religious peo-
pie, and it is for this reason that the
blue-ribboners expect to create suf-
fcient amount of we'll directed senti-
ment to place their cause on substan-
tial and effective basis. There are in
Glasgow more than !, 200 barmaids, and
it is believed when sufficient pressure
is brought to bear on the innkeepers
of the city the desired concessions can
be obtained. However, the crusaders
are prepared to fight if education and
persuasive methods avail them moth
ing, and the issue may be carried to
the highest court.
Great Britain is the only part of the
British empire where the barmaid is
an institution. There are hardly any
in Ireland, and none in Australia, New
Zealand, Canada or the Cape. In Eng
land there are about 100000 barmaids,
while in London alone the number
reaches 1000.

willing to Abide by the Rule.

In 1864 Gen. Sheridan, under orders,
burned every barn from valley above
Stanton to point below Winchester.
A band of angry confederates fol-
lowed the union troops, waiting for a
chance to pick up stragglers. Among
those who fell into their hands was q
Pennsylvania Dutchman.
He turned quietly to his captors and
inquired: 'Vat you fellows going to
do NIT me?"
The reply came short and sharpe.
"We're going to hasg you!"
'Oh, very well,'' he said, meekly;
''vateffer is de rule"
His unexpectedly calm and good.
natured reply threw the confederates
into roar of laughter, and saved his
life.-Philadelphia Times.

Plague children were told.to smoke in their
school rooms. The idea was probably bor-
rowed from the custom of the buriers of
the dead on their way, In charge of dead
carts, to Holywell Mount We read in "A
Brief Abstract Of the Virtuea OF the Ameri-
can Tobacco Plant" published in 17SS, that
at first these persons only used tobacco as
a deodorizer, little thinking that what
they used for momentary relief would prove
constant preventive. When the plague
was happily stayed, the virtues OF tobacco
began to be investigated; 1t was found
that those persons who plentifully used it,
either in smoking or snuf1ng, had most
wonderfully escaped the dire contagion;
for though they visited the chambers Of the
sick. attended the funerals of carloads at
time, they unexpectedly avoided the in
to advance the theory that since Europe
took to smoking. epidemics had greatly de-
creased. and we find him stating the belief
that dealers in tobacco were secure from
plague infection. Yet he can assign no
reason why tobacco should prove SO valtia-
BILE as disinfectant except in SO far as It
fortifies the head against "exhalations.'

TOBACCO TRADITIONS.
Experiments Show That Weed is Eff
fective Disinfectant.

From the London Lancet
The belief that tobacco smoke is disin-
fectant has long been popularity held. AS
long ago as 1883 DR.. Paul Tassinari Of Pisa
subjected the germs of various deadly dis
eases (such as anthrax, cholera and typhus
fever) to the action Of dense clouds OF i'm
prisoned tobacco smoke during periods
Of 100 to $50 hours, and he came to
the conclusion that in most cases, and es-
pecially when large cigars had been en-
ployed as generators. the development Of
pathogenic bacteria was either partially or
wholly arrested. But nobody retains smoke
in his mouth for 100 hours at time! An
occasional pipe. indeed, scarcely counts in
comparison with DR.. Tassinari.s intense
soaking process. Besides, under the condi-
lions imposed by the italian Investigator.
would not the smoke OF coal or wood pro-
duce the same results as that Of cigars7

other epidemics. 1t is interesting to trace
this back. Abroad 1t probably received its
first impetus in Toulouse, where shortly
before the revolution the workmen in the
state tobacco factory are said to have re-
manned immune during a deadly epidemic
Of suette Sweating sickness). The belief
may, perhaps. be of the nature Of folklore.
The medical man attached to the Bordeaux
state factory thought that this local in
dustry was veritable blessing to damp
and foggy town. 1.-The piquant and ammo
niacal emanauons arising from the tobacco
qualify the air and diminish its insalubrity.
Before the establishment of this factory
the poorer parts of Bordeaux had been raw
aged by epidemics and contagious now UNI

workmen Is. he adds very low. while very
few cases OF illness occur among them.
although they are in general ill-lodged and
clothed and even worse fed"
We have no new facts to add in evidence
Of the value OF tobacco smoking in cpl
demic diseases. AS yet. at any rate, there
is nothing authoritative to be said.
