Queen Alexandra Of England.
European children are receiving
lectures on the subject and all the
female schools in Rumania have
a course of lectures on the use Of the
corset among girls; showing how
some organs are ruined, while others
are deformed.
Now does all this mean anything?
Will each woman say that she is
the exception?
Will the doctors smile as they
figure that not one woman among a
hundred will stop TO think whether
these things be true?
Will the fat men, who really ought
to be the sole users of the '.instru-
ment," grunt?
No doubt they all will-While the
professor Of physiology will be the
only one to say yea"
The writer has not been prompted
to use this language for the benefit
Of humor. Only God knows how
very serious these words are.
It is hoped that a few human be-
ings will be saved the act Of being
made a sacrifice upon the altar of
Fashion where burns the fire Of folly
and ruin.
To those who would heed a warm
ing let it be said that the use of q
garment that will throw the weight
of the clothing from the hips and
abdomen to the shoulders that are
able to bear it; that is not tight
enough to retard or limit breathing
and circulation; will not cause a pain
when the body stoops; that is flexible
and yielding, will prove, not an in
jury but a great assistance in making
one presentabIe in a social circle that
is composed of sensible people and
not pedants and fools.

BARS SALE BIRDS PLUMAGE
Alarettes Cannot Be Sold by New
York MilIiners After July I
Next by Statute.

New York-The plumage Of forty
three specimens of birds formerly
used to decorate women's hats can
not be sold by the milliners of New
York state after July 1 next, accord
ing to the annual report of the Ma
tional Association OF Audubon Socie-
ties.
The most important feature of a
law recently passed by the state leg
islature, the report continues, is the
prohibition of the sale of aigrettes.
New York is one of the three greatest
centers for the sale of aigrettes, the
others being Paris and London.
The aigrette is taken from the
mother bird when nesting, and costs
her life and the life of the young
birds. The Audubon societies have
been fighting for the protection of
these birds for many years.
The passage of the so-called plu-
mage bill will prevent the use of
their plumage as well as that of most
wild birds of the country and all the
birds native of New York state.
