CORSET FIRST WORN BY MEN
Garment Now Almost Exclusively
Feminine Shown to Have Been
Made for Norman King.

The corset as such has not always
gone by that name. First mention OF
the word is found in the household
register of Eleanor, countess Of Leices-
ter, May "a. 1865, and the person for
whom the garment was made was
Richard, king Of the Normans. An
other pair is mentioned at the same
time as intended for Richards son,
Edward. Which would seem to prove
that corsets were originally used for
men as we'll as for women.
Some authorities claim that the
word corset is from the French word
corps, the body, and serrer Ito tighten,
inclose or incase). This may have
been q corruption or diminutive form
Of the single word "corps," which was
formerly written "cors." or the name
may have been taken from a rich ma
terial known as corse, which was at
one time extensively used for its max
ing. About the year 1000 the corset
is referred to as 'stays"-in England.
The word bodice was not infrequently
spelled bodies by old authors and was
used to designate the garment now
known as the corset 49, t.

THE UNIVERSAL CARY

The true greatness of q nation cam
not be in triumphs Of the intellect
alone. Literature and art may enlarge
the sphere of its influence; they may
adorn it; but they are in their nature
but accessories. The true grandeur Of
humanity is in moral elevation. {.
The surest tokens Of this grandeur,
In state, are that Christian benefi-
cence. which diffuses the greatest
happiness among the greatest number,
and that passionless, God-like justice,
which controls the relations of the
state to other states, and to all the
people committed to its Charge

Beavers Remarkable Work.

A single colony Of beaver are cap
able of constructing a dam II feet
high and a quarter of a mile long.
Such q dam was recently discovered
by state game warden, in secluded
spot along Taylor's creek, Bayfield,
county, Wis. The beaver house at
the center Of the dam, 10 feet high
and 40 feet broad at the base, the
sleeping apartment inside the house,
was exceptionally spacious for a
beaver home, being large enough for
a tall man to lie down at full length.
The floor was found to he covered with

Explaining the "Rins Finger"

OF all the men, both young and old,
who place engagement rings on the
fingers Of their brides-to-be, 1t is al
most an absolute certainty that not
one-tenth Of them knows why he places
the ring on the ring finger Of the left
hand. OF course, the answer could
be: "Everybody's doin' It," Tie Gus
tom of placing the ring upon the fourth
finger seems undoubtedly to owe its
origin to the fancy that special
nerve, or vein. ran directly from this
finger to the heart. MacrObius. In his
Saturnalia, alludes to the belief in the
following words: Because of this
nerve, the newly betrothed places the
ring on this finger of his spouse, as
though it were representation OF the
heart" This information, he asserts,
was derived from an Egyptian priest.
