sHoRr BONES IN coRsErs.

1t Is interesting to know that while
corsets are longer, the bones In them
are shorter. They go over a part OF
the hip, but do not run down to the
end of the corset. These long. bones
were found disastrous, as they were
constantly breaking or bending and
pushing the corset into a curve below
the waist. @ 20
Now the bones stop short enough
to prevent breakage, and the .cputille
is strapped and stitched and7 fitted to
the figure for the rest Of the length.

Pennsylvania couples who wish to
marry quietly in the state of New
York will be interested in question
that has arisen respecting one i'm
purtant point. 1t appears that in
many cases couples from other states
obtained licenses in one town or
city, and then to AVOID publicity,
have been married elsewhere.
Attorney General Jackson holds
that this is illegal, as section eight of
the marriage license law provides
that: if the woman or both parties to
be married are non residences of the
state, such license shall be obtained
from the clerk of the town or city in
which the marriage is to be perform
ed" On the other hand, Senator
Cobb by whom the law was framed
declares that the license authorizes
marriage any where in the state.
The attorney general, however,
has published a warning to clergy
men against performing it under
license issued in another town VI
city, as in his opinion this would b'
misdemeanor on their part

British fashion in this matter has

was fortuitous happening. When

had very like to have been French
gray laced with silver. While the
King was still not decided he saw
the Duchess of Bedford in riding
habit of blue faced with white and
enlivened with gold lace. 1t was Il

Sportsmcn Draft New Fish Law.

Harrisburg Pa. Sep. 15.--A bill
giving fisherman the right of appeal
to court when arrested for alleged
violation of the fish law of the State,
defining the method of fishing deny
the Fish Commissioner the right Of
Interpretation of laws and making
new limitations on catches of game
fish was drafted at meeting of the
Fish Legislation Committee of the
States Sportsman's Association, held
in this city this afternoon.
A statement was made that the
committee wanted to devise law
"by which man could go fishing
without taking lawyer with him
and which would permit of its being
enforced on the square," The bill
prepared to-day will be submitted to
the Legislature next winter.
The chief provisions are the appeal
which has hitherto been denied
fishermen. who have been forced to
summary convictiosn on oath of a
warden and refusing to allow the
State fisheries Commissioners to in
terpet the law, requiring that the
court pass upon questions. The
definition of the use Of the fishing
rod was given considerable care and
the bill declares that fishing by rod
is method, and does not restrict
the number of rods man may use.
Another change is that man cam
not be arrested for merely fishing
"for fish," but evidence that he has
caught or killed fish must be shown.
The new restrictions on catches for "a
day include: Trout 40; black bass, Is;
salmon, 10; pickerel, 20; muscal
longe, 3.

Every time person ticks a post
age stamp he gets taste of sweet
potato. The gum with which the
stamps are backed is made from that
succulent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lieutenants consider it the
most harmless preparation of the
sort. All of the gum used on Ameri-
can postage stamps IS mixed by the
government at the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing, where the stamps
are made. 1t is spread on the sheets
after the stamps have been printed.
The gum in liquid form, is forced
up through pipes from the basement,
where it is made. These pipes lead
to a series of machines consisting of
rollers, between which the sheets of
stamps are fed, one at a time. A
continuous fine stream OF the liquid
gum falls upon one Of these rollers.
The sheet with its wet coating of
sweet potato mucilage passes from
the rollers into long horizontal
flue filled with hot air. When it
emerges from the other end OF the
fiue the gum is dry.
