WOMAN'S WAIST.
The oIdy Story in New Form
(Brooklyn Eagle.)

(Brooklyn Eagle.)
We all know that there is no tight
lacing any more. Any woman will
say so. Every woman wears a cor
set, but Lor'! it is SO loose that you
could put ten pounds of candy inside
and she would still rattle in it. The
death of woman in st. Louis from
alleged tight lacing is one of those
stories invented by mere men to cast
up to their wives when the men want
an excuse for being i'll natured on
the morning after the club dinner.
Tight lacing used to be classed with
rum and tobacco as scourge to the
human race, and the best thing to
do with it under such circumstances
was to eliminate it from consideration
by the men. A No. as corset on a
No. as woman used to produce effects
that were painful not merely to the
wearer, but to the beholder For ex-
ample, she acquired red nose, she
wheezed and waddled, she assumed a
dumb-bell shape and attitude that met
| the demands of the fashion journals,
but not of esthetics, and she adver-
tised her disrobing to all the house
by a loud pop, when the corset strings
were cut. Therefore, there is no more
tight lacing. The alleged victim in
st. Louis died from the effects of St.
Louis atmosphere, diet and politics.
At the same time we take this occa
sion to reprehend the pictures thai

Catching the Early Spider.

One must be an early riser II he
would photograph a spiders web, for
the delicate fabric must be taken when
the dew is yet on 1t, 80 that the out
lines will be in sharp relief. The best
success Is obtained when the webs
are On pine trees, and spiders seem to
favor these trees because of the shell
ter they afford. Look on the least ex-
posed side of the tree for your web,
for instinct teaches the little creatures
to make their homes where the strong
winds do not strike. In taking the
picture the lens should be brought very
near the web, In order to make the
threads as large as possible. have
photographed a spiders web with a
4 by camera and with 61a by 81
instrument, having equally good sue
cess In each case. It is well to have a

In the morning must be prepared for

Light and Sound.

Light travels so vastly much faster
than sound that there Is no compari-
son between their velocities. The ve-
Iocity of light is about 10000 miles q
second. At this speed light will travel
about eight times around the earth In
a second, and light starting from the
sun will traverse the 03,OO0,OO0 miles
Of space intervening between the sun
and the earth in eight minutes. So 1t
Is seen light flashes from one part Of
the earth to another. even the most re-
mote, instantaneously, or practically
30. Sound travels worse than a snaips
pace as compared with light, going
only about 1,1OO feet In a second, or
about a mile In FIVE seconds, or twelve
miles In a minute. These facts are no
ticed, though not always understood,
by any one who sees gun fred only
q few hundred yards away. The fash
and the puff Of smoke are seen instan-
taneously; the report Of the gun al
ways comes percepdbly later, the time
intervening being greater or less, ac-
cording to the distance.

The term "greenhorn" originated in
this way: The pioneers Of the west
were much given to hunting deer. 1t
was fact known to early settlers that
when the horn Of fawn began to
grow there was ring Of green hair
around the spot. 1t was considered a
disgraceful thing for a hunter to kill a
fawn, a cruel act, and the killing time
was regulated by the growth Of the
horn. There was a sort Of unwritten
law that no one should kill a male
fawn before its horn could be seen. A
person who was SO unthoughtful as to
kill a deer under the proper age was
called a "greenhorn." He was so
named because the young horn of the
deer and the hair around it were still
green. The use Of the appellation
gradually spread until it was applied
to all raw or inexperienced youths or
persons easily imposed upon.

1t makes all the difference in the

part Of themselves to their tasks. They
cripple much of their ability by irregu-

furious food, lack Of sleep, dissipation
or some other folly. They do not come
to their tasks every morning whole
men. A part of themselves and often
a large part is somewhere else. They
left their energy where they were try

bring weakness instead Of power, In
