The Orig.:nal Corset. Catherine de Medici first introduced the corset into France. Her example, however. was not followed by Mary Stuart or Diana Poitiers, though it was admitted by all the ladies of the French court that it was utterly indis- pensable to the beauty of the female figure. In those days the corset was in its infancy and was fashioned more after the style of a knight's cuirass than anything else. The 'framework was made entirely of iron and. the velvet which decorated the exterior only served to hide a frightful and cumbersome article of torture. This state of things, so ruin - ode to health and personal convenience could not last long, and the artisans ef those days gave numb time 'and thought toward rendering the metal more light and pliable. The corset found great favor in the eyes of Louis XIV., but in the follow ing reign it was threatened with en- tire banishment from the toilet. Fash- ion took a rural and simple turn, many of the ()curt celebrities being guided by the taste of Boucher, in Wh'ose Pic- tures many of them appear as shep- herds and shepherdesses; when the painter departed, however. fashion re- turned once more to the eccentricities and extravagances of former times. Corsets were again forgotten 'luring the revolution, being practically ta- booed by the faehionable world 'the beauties of the ray went in for class- ical fashione. Roman dress being held in especial esteem. The empir,editi away with the classes fashions, but did not take the corset back into favor; high waists were all the vogue, and the more decollete a costume the more fashionable it wee considered. With the fall of the empire came the fall of the waists and then, as a matter of course, the return to the corset follow- ed. 1 YOU MAY HAVE ONE FREE. The Illustrated Diamond Dye Rug Book.

A certain Mr. Skiles, a suburban. grocer, was asked to lieve his card in- serted in the programme of a picnic to be given by a local secret society at a popular resort forty Pr fifty miles away. "How much will it cost me?" he in- quired: "Only twe dollars," replied the ad- vertising manager, "I-I'mph—only two dollars! HoW much space do I get for that?" "One inch." "H'inpli—the whole of an inch! 1 can put any kind of an ad I want to in that space, I suppose?" ' "Certainly." The grocer took a scrap of paper, wrote his advertisement on it, handed it to the manager, and in due time the programme appeared with this card in it: "Beverly Skiles, Grocer, No. 537 Sparkland street, pays $2 for the use of this space. He thinks it an out- rageous price, inasmuch as all the groceries for this picnic were bought at some other store.

A correspondent sends us the fol- lowing story from Mississippi: Counsel for the defense was addressing a coun- try Y. P. of the "old school." Said he: "I realize that I stand in the presence of 1 descendant of the grand old Hu- guenot family that emigrated from France to escape from religious intol- erance. Many able jurists have sprung from that family and embellished the bench and bar of the Union. Their watchwords are honor, truth and jus- tice, and their names are spoken in every home. The law is so plain in this case that 'he who runs may read.' Shall I insult the intelligence—of this court by reiterating a proposition 'so, simple? Need I say more"—"No," in- terrupted the judge, " 'tain't necessary, I'll give you a Judgment." Counsel 'sat down while tbe judge, with em- phasis, knocked the ashes from hini cob pipe, and counsel for plaintiff be. gan: "May it please the court"— "Squire, what are you fixire to do ?" asked the judge. "I have the closing argument," was the reply. "Well, you jes' as well set down. I done got my mind sot on the other side. Judgment for defendant."—Law Notes. • Peabody and the Tlnatman. Many years ago John Bright and George Peabody, the philanthropist, were fishing in a little Irish stream. Late in the evening, after a hard day's work, the party arrived at the landing stage, and Bright, accosting the inevi- table policeman on the bank, said: "What is the proper price to pay these boatmen, constable?" He replied, "Seven shillings and six- pence, yer honner, but some gintle- men give them ten shillings." Bright, turning to his companion, said, "I have no change, Peabody; have you three half crowns?" The millionaire produced the coins and gave them to one of the boatmen. "Is that all, ye're giving me?" asked the latter. "That's all," said Pabody. Holding the coins in the open palm of his hand, and slowly scratching his head with the ether, the boatman said: "And they call ye Paybody, don't they? Well. I call ye Paynobody."— New York Tribune. Othello Whitewashed. Othello Is the latest historic disrepu- table to have a good character estab- lished. Italian papers claim certain manuscript cencernirg the Moor have been found in the archivesof a con- vent in Venice. They are notes taken In 1542 by a Cretan diplomat sent on a mission to the republic of Venice. The writer knew Othello well and vouches for the fact that the lady was never killed at all. In fact. she sur- vived Othello, died a natural death and gave the coroner no trouble at all. So that there never was a tragedy of the miner of Venice, Must, Eave 'leen a Menthol. rhe writer of a book of travels, tell- ing of the insect pests encountered in British Guiana, makes a statement of which the best tbat can be said is that it is probably not so bad as it sounds.

THE BOER VERSION. . Pretoria, Monday, April 23 —An of- ficial bulletin issued here to -day says: "The Federals continue their fighting at Wepener, and have captured a herd of General Brabantes cattle and horses. "Gen—Be Wet's losses at Dewet's Dorp were one man killed and six men wounded. Twenty British were cap- tured besides the killed and wounded, The British appear ta be re- tiring beyond Dewet's Dorp. "Cronje reports that with a strong commando he attacked the British northeast of Boshof. A heavy engage- ment followed and the British were driven from kopje to kopje. The Fed- erals displayed great courage and re- solution and spiritedly engaged the enemy. Only two burghers were • wounded. The P,ritish lost fifteen men killed and lefit three wounded and eight teineondes' ie the hands of the burghers." The Cronje referred to is Command- ant Cronje, the esecond son of the Boer General, who is now a prisoner on the island of St Helena. SITUATION IS COMPLICATED No Less Than Three British Columns Fig hting in Free State London, April 21.— A.11 attention is centered on the interesting, though complicated situation in the south- eastern portion of' the Orange Free State, from which developments of the utmost impeetance must ensue in the near future. Gen. Bat/idle, appar- ently has found the Boers confront- ing him a,t De Wetsdorp stronger than he cares to engage so he is marking time pending the arrival of support. 'While Gen. Rundle is preparing to strike De Wetsdorp, Generals Brabant aud Hart are pushing along the frontier of Basu- toland whence they will be able to frustrate any attack on Gen. Run- dle's right, and Generals French and Pole- Carew are hastening from Bloemfontein to bar the Boer line of retreat northwards. In the meanwhile the burgher forces occupying Thaleanchu are in a posi- tion to fight a, delaying action, giv- ing the Boer forcee at De Wetsdorp and Wepener time to retire in case of defeat, and it seerne as though Gen. French must dispose of this Thaban- chu force before he can reach- the rear of the Boer forces opposing Gen- erals Rundle and Brabant, otherwise his flank would be open to assault. The Boers driven out of Leeuw Kop will probably rally at Tha,banchu, where a stiff fight may be expected, ehould the British fail in this attempt Go bring about another Paa,rdeberg it must immensely effect the larger issues of the war, as it would un- doubtedly lead to a persistent re- petition of the guerilla warfare which has been largely responsible for the stay of Lord Roberts at Bloemfontein for so many weeks. During the course of Gen. Alderson'e advance on Leeuw Kop, the Canadians found themselves in '0 tight corner Sunday near Don- kerpoert. The Canadian Mounted In- fantry, sent to reconnoitre the Boer, position, approached within 800 yards of a tarm flying the hospital flag, under cover of whioh the Boers opeped such a hot fire on the Can- adians that, they were unable to at- tempt to retire until another force af Canadians covered their retreat by threatening the rear of the Boer po- sition.

This common but dreaded disease is produced by acute inflammation of the nerves centered about the stone- aeh. It is a well known fact that the stomach is one of the chief nerve cen- tres, and physicians will tell you that without healthy, vigorous nerves, the stomach cannot properly digest food. It must also be noted that the tis- sues and all the organs or digestion are quickly weakened by impoverished blood, overwork, worry and care. The first and greatest work for all sufferers from dyspepsia and indi- gestion to accomplished, is to nourish and brace the nerves and purify the blood. Paine's Celery Compound is the chosen medicine of the ablest physi- cians for producing nerve fibre, true nerve force and pure, rich blood. When these blessings have been sc./- cured, dyspepsia and its train of evils are completely banished, and solid, lasting health is established. Paine's Celery Compound has done more for dyspeptics than all other combined agencies. Thousands of testimonials from the hest people tell the story that Paine's Celery Com- pound "makes sick people well." Mrs. E. Trinder, of Simcoe• Ont • says: "For a long time dyspepsia and indigestion made life miserable for me. I was so bad I could not go out of the house, do housework or get regular sleep. I bought six bottles of Paine's Celery Compound from Mn Austin, our druggist, and commenced using it i'eguhr'ily. My doctor advised me to continue with your compound, and told me if I had not been using it he woOld have recommended it to me," "Your Paine's Celery Compound has Worked wonders for me; it has batlike - ed my dyspepsia, indigestion and sleep- lessness, and given me a new life.
