Probably few Americans realize
that the man in the United States rail-
way mail service is far more likely to
lose his life than the soldier in Uncle
Sans regular army. Cold figures
which have appeared in two official re-
ports of the government prove abso-
lutely that he is.
Within the year ending June 80 last
only twenty-four of Uncle Sans SOL
diers, in all the $1,000 on regular or
detached duty, were killed in action.
Twenty-one men were killed on duty
in the railway mail service during that
time. There were only four additional
soliiiers wounded so severely that they
died or were obliged to leave the serv-
ice on account of these wounds. In
the railway mail service ninety men
were seriously hurt while on duty, be-
sides the twenty-one men killed. To
make the showing still more surpris-
ing. 37S mail clerks were injured more
or less severely.

both the chestnut and the potato by

They were surprised soon afterward

While they were perched on knolls

from the entrance of the burrow which
Green Eyes had entered. They were
followed by the appearance of his head
and then of his body as he squeezed
out of the burrow. His body was COW

Change in Corse.s.

There is quite a change in the
style of corsets for this season. says
a corset salesman. a new style has
been made for certain figures that
have never before been shown. The
bust line will be heightened. That
does not mean that old-fashioned, high
bust corset is coming in style again,
but that there will be drop in the
waist line. The high bust corsets
will probably never come in again, at
least for many years. Heretofore the
line below the waist has occupied so
much attention that the waist line has
been neglected, but this new form has
remedied this defect. The styles that
prevailed in the last season will still
be good. but the new one takes care
of figures that have not heretofore re-
ceiyed much attention.
The tendency in the corset market
IS getting to be gradually toward
higher grade goods Women are get
ting more particular than they used
to be-
1T may seem strange, but a much
more expensive and higher grade cor
set can be sold in South Africa than
in this country. There we can sell a

F. A. Lucas of the Brooklyn Insti-

the swallowing of stones by seals.

factory reason has been advanced for
the swallowing of stones by seals, and
this statement may probably be ex-
tended to other animals.
They are not taken in for ballast,
for the empty seals keep down as cas-
lily as the others; they are not swal-
lowed for the purpose of grinding up
food. for they occur in the stomachs
of nursing pups; they are not to al
lay the irritation caused by parasitic
worms, since the two are by no means

with food, not merely because they
are found in the stomachs of young
seala. but in those adults that have
fed on squid caught in the open sea.

More Perilous Than War

in proportion than it does soldiers.
This includes the army in the Philip
