Good Word for corsets.

1t is not often that q doctor has
much to say in favor of the corset.
but two Berlin medical men, Professor
Felix Hirchfeld and Adolf Loewy, have
just come forward in championship ot
that sorely abused garment. True, their
advocacy is of limited and qualified
character. but SO far as goes it is quite
twholehearted, for they have satisfied
themselves that for a certain type of
physique that is especially prone to
consumption the use Of corsets may
act as O preventive of that disease.
The structure in question is described
as %"paralytic thorax," the specific
characteristics of which appear to be
length and fairness of the chest. The
two investigators carried out exhaus,
tive experiments on the respirations
pf persons Of this class, simultaneous
~ following the movements of the
diaphragm by means Of Roentgen rays.
The result they arrived at was that
whereas the corset diminished the
depth 1t increased the frequency of
their patients breathing, so that the
total amount Of air taken into thu
lungs within q given time remained
the same.

WHERE is THE BEER MONEY!
Characteristic. Reply Of Reformed
Painter When Questioned by
His Drinking Mates.

"A contributor to The Century Maya

man, an ex-drunkard, an ex-miserable.

him new birth, and made him a useful
citizen. He told me how his mates

and how they are continually asking
him, Don't your missus never give
you any beer money! To which I
answered Them he said, grinning,
Hob, yuss; my old lady gives me
plenty Of beer money-shillings and
sh1llings. And where do you think I
keep it? In my garden! Amt that
artful Of me? And some Of my beer
money has got feathers and lays eggs,
and some has got fur and makes
lovely pie, and some has got flowers
and smells a bit of all right. Yuss, If

JURY DIsAGREEs.

The a%ffidavits were secured by Wells

s.antlally to the same story, which
reveals the fact that certain notorious

the girls involved, was born at Hal

ANOTHER QUESTION OF VALUE
While Court Sets Price Of $500 on Full
Grown Tree Nothing 10 Said
About Man.

A New York court has declared that
a full-grown tree is worth $500, and
that amount of damage for the wanton
destruction of the same in front of a
city residence has been collected. He
who plants a tree not only makes a
contribution to the comfort of men
and the beauty of the world, but a
valuable contribution to the wealth of
the community.
What about the destruction of a
man, Of a home. of the moral stamina
of a community or a nation? No one
will deny that the well-born boy or
girl Is a valuable contribution to the
race and to the world, or that the eco
nomic worth Of a full-grown manly
man. or womanly woman, is at least
$500. What then Of tie policy which
permits not merely the destruction of
such, but the making of him, or of her.

find QUEER HOARD
Interesting Discovery In an Old
Texas House.
Dagger, Crimson With Blood Rust Of
Centuries, and Ancient Spanish
Pieces Of Eight Found
In Old Pot.

San Antonio, Texas.-Still crimson
with the blood rust Of centuries, q
dagger was found in the walls of an
adobe building in San Antonio, and in
another part of the house was found
a copper pot containing pieces OF
eight. It is regarded az the most
historical production which Texas has
yielded in many years and the coins
have been sent to Tiffany in New
York for valuation.
Charles Arnaud and Gus Loeloff, his
brotherin-law, were tearing down an
ancient structure. used In bygone days
as a fandango hall, when their picks
came in contact with something that
rang differently from the flint rock
which composed part Of the walls.
They took their pocket knives and
scraped away the mortar and discov-
cred what resembled a teapot.
Extracting this vessel from Its coat
ing, they dug a flint rock from it's
opening, where the lid should have
been. At first spider webs obscured
their view, but after wiping these
away they could see dimly that there
was something at the bottom of the
pot. 1t proved to be eight Spanish
coins, covered with dust. How the
dust got there 1t Ia impossible to say,
as the large opening of the teapot was
closed and the spout was so small
that only a few drops at a time could
have been poured from 1t. And in ad-
dition the hole was inclosed in the
solid wall.
Local scientists will tackle the prob
lem of low the spiders entered the
pot-whether they were in it before
the wall was closed. or whether they
crept through some infinitesimal crack
and thence into the spout Of the pot.
Quien sabe?
The dagger has a pearl handle,
carved by hand, carrying a feathery
design on one side and on the other
a shield and leaves. At one end it
has a guard almost as large as those
OF the swords used by the crusaders,
bearing a bas relief of a VOLTS head.
At the other end it has a similar orna-
ment, the head of some animal which
has not yet been identified.
The blade Is seven inches long,
sharp on one side and thick on the
other. Its point is yet in fine shape
and could do deadly work. 1t has Pc
culiar red stains, believed to have
been caused by blood. This weapon
was found nea the top of the wall,
hidden by mortar, and it is thought it
was tossed there for the purpose of
cOncealment.
