A great many women have given up expecting to find a comfortable corset.

Mistake! There is one that fits nine women in ten. For them it is comfortable it is more than comfortable, a positive luxury.

Any merchant that has it will tell you "Wear it three weeks, if you like, and I'll give you every cent of your money back, if the corset doesn't suit you.'' Ball's is the one. Your merchant has! a primer on Corsets for you.

ADJUSTABLE MEMORIES.

Two Men Get the Wrong* Harness and Forget About It for Over a Tear. Rod Hankin was arrested Tuesday and James R. Rankin, next day, ohargecf with stealing a set of Eingle huruess belonging to a daughter of Banco Coleman and valued at $25. It is a stmnge affair. The harness was missed about a year and a half ago before the Presidential election of 1888. NotHng was ever seen of it until Saturday at the hor.se show. William Hiattthen recognized it on a horse belonging to the defendants who live near Boston Store. James R. Rankius is the father-in-law of James Dennis, charged with John Coffey of murdering the McMullens. The two Rankins say that the harness was put on their horse by the employes of what was then the Wilcox livery stable and that they did not discover the mistake for several days. After, that they forgot to return it. But wait—thei treacherous memories did hold good on two or three occasions, they say, and they attempted to liud the owners but could not. Mayor Russell fixed their bail at 3200 apiece.

THE WHEAT.

Montgomery County farmers WillEaise Only a Quarter of a Orop. While the mild winter just past has been a very pleasant one yet it will result disastrously to the wheat crop. During the month of January and February the cereal took a good start and got above ground, owing to the unusual warmth. When spring set in with its alternate cold and warm periods the tender plants were frozen. The freezing and thawing of the ground was also very bad on the roots, and in many cases pulled them clear out of the soil. For these reasons the farmers say that they do not expect more than one fourth of a orop. Therefore a great many of them have plowed for oats and some will even displace the damaged wheat with corn.

Don't Be Too Quick, Farmers. Farmers should not be too quick in concluding that the wheat is killed and proceed to plow it up for other crops. Since writing that wheat above article we have learned from several investigating farmers that the wheat is not dead although it looks so above ground. These investigators have gone below the surface and- found the little plants putting forth new Sprouts which will soon be out in the favoring

Bun-

shine. Therefore don't begin to complain *oo soon.

Says She Has No Confession to Make. LaFayette Courier: "A Courier reporter was reliably informed this morning that quite recenly an effort was made by interested parties to persuade Mrs. Elma C. Whitehead, charged with being an asses&ory with W. Fred Pettit in the alleged murder of Mrs. Hattie Pettit, to make a full confession of tho affair. Mrs. Whitehead, it is understood, told these meddlers that she had already related all she all she knew about the case, that there was no confession to make and that their mission could not possibly be of any use, as she could not make a confession when such a thing was an utter impossibility. The attorneys for Pettit are actively engaged hunting up evidence. Tliey state that there will be found two sides to the case, decidedly very distinct and separate, when the trial proper begins,"

Weather Orop Bulletin.

Much rain fell during the past week pud tho amounts measured in all sections was above the normal the temperature was c:ol and below the normal and tbero was but little sunshine as' much warm ami dry weather is needed to improve, if possible, the discouraging condition of the wheat, the weather during tho week changed but little or not at all the condition of the wheat farmers are very muoli discouraged nearly every whore and somo have plowed up irrecoverable fields to plant them to oats or corn but little plowing or seeding was done during the week because of the unfavorable weather and farm work is still rotarded pasturage is good and stock in Cue condition.

State Militia Affairs,

Adjutant General Ruckle has mustered out of State service Company L, Second Regiment Infantry, and Battery D, First Regiment Light Artillery. First Sergeant Nathan Frazier, Company D, First Regiment, tried by court martial at Crawfordsville, has been reduced to the ranks and suspended for six months for disobeying an order from his Captain at Camp ilovey.—Indianapolis News.

Company D, First Regiment has also been changed to company I, Second Regiment, and the boys who bought badges are in iu the soup, as it were.

"Every Spring,"

Says one of the best housewives in New England," We feel the necessity of taking a good medicine to purify the blood, and we all take Hood's Sarsaparilla. It keeps the children free from humors, my hucb. nd says it gives him a good appetite, and as for myself, I am sure I could never do all my work if it was not for this splendid medicine. It makes me feel strong and cheerful, and I am never troubled with headache or that tired feeling, as I used to be."

XI—THE AMERICAN GIRL.

Flirtation I'orfectt'd—Mating May and December—Wliitt American Girls Admire in a Man.

The liberty enjoyed by American girls astonishes tho English as much as the liberty of tho English girl surprises the French

From the age of 18, the American girl is allowed almost every liberty. She takes the others.

She is supplied with pocket money, which she spends at her own sweet will in bonbons, knickknacks and jewelry. She visits and receives whom slio pleases —I mean those who pleaso her. She has her own circle of acquaintances. If, at a ball, slio meet with a young man who takes lier fancy, sho says to him: "I am at homo on such a day come and see me." Next day he may send her a ticket for a theatre and be her escort for the evening. In America, all this seems to be the most natural thing in tho world. This leads to no intimacy, for a few days later it may happen that ho meets the young lady at a ball, and she comes up to him and says: "I want to present you to a friend do tell me your name, I quite forget it."

The American girl, seems to mo to act according to the dictates of common sense. Tired of the old formula, "A lady cannot do that, it would bo improper." slio says: "I will do it, and if I choose to do it, it becomes proper." "Why should I not go to the theatre alone?" sho says again "if your streets aro impure, it is for you to cleanso them. Why should I not receive my ball partners who please me? If onoof them were to profit by my seeing him alono in tho drawing room to take a liberty with me, he would bo an ill bred fellow, and I should have him properly shown out of tho house, and certainly it is not for such as he that I should change my habits."

It is tho respect that woman inspires in American men, which allows the young girl to go about wiiih such freedom and to queen it all through the States. Jonathan might give more than one lesson in this subject to tho men of the Old World, even to the Frenchman. Jonathan's respect for women is disinterested, purely platonic. In France, this respect takes the form of a politeness which verges on gallantry, and is often not disinterested. A Frenchman will always stand back to let a lady pass, but he will profit by the occasion to take a good look at her. The American, in similar circumstance, will respectfully lower his oyes.

In trains, where the seats are constructed to hold two persons, you will see the American seek a place from one end of the train to tho other before ho will go and seat himself by the side of a young girl.

With what pleasure I remember the young American girls whom I occasionally met at Parisian parties in my youthful days. One never felt awkward with them. Whereas with a French young girl I could generally find nothing but absurd commonplaces to say, iu tho presence of Jonathan's merry maidens I lost my timidity, and could chat away with as little embarrassment as I would with a young brother officer of my regiment.

The American girl is still without rivals. Men seek her for her gayety, wit, or beauty mothers look favorably upon her for her dollars the younger women tear her to shreds—nothing is wanting to her success.

It was to her that Paris owed the introduction of that attractive dance that goes in France by the name of boston. An inspiration this dance!

Some one, I forget whom, has remarked of the waltz, "It is charming, it is fascinating, but one cannot chat." With the boston it is different one can dance that, and chat and flirt too. Now a flirtation with an American girl is immensely agreeable, on account of the perfection she brings to the art. To be gallant is no longer sufficient to say things that dre pretty, but insipid and commonplace, will not jdo at all you must surpass yourself in wit and amiability, while keeping well within tho bounds of tho strictest propriety.

I also used to get a great deal of diversion in looking ut the American girls clearing tho buffet. How they mado the ices disappear and tossed oil punch, champagne or anything that came to their pretty little hands! With what disdain they passed over tho sirups and eau 6ucree, that tho French girls timidly sipped, looking all tho while to see whether mamma was not staring round eyed to show that she disapproved of such dissipation. Theyjnust have something serious and satisfying.

Only tho musicians, as they struck up tho first bars of tho next dance, had fascination enough to draw them away from tho refreshment room.

And

what spirit there was in their

dancing! What animation! What eyes lit up with pleasure! Not a moment's flagging: they danced with as much suppleness at 5 in the morning as at the beginning of the evening. And why not, indeed? Such pleasures are harmless, and it is not because a woman has danced much in her girlhood that she should lead her husband a dance, when she has one. The morality of a youth is in direct proportion tc-tlie delight he takes in play that of a girl may be measured by her gayety and high spirits.

I shall never forget a young American girl, who sat at the same table as myself, on board the steamer. The dear child, who was about 17, performed prodigies. I watched her with never flagging interest. What a little tabie d'hote ogress!-

First of all, at 7 in the morning, tea and bread and butter was taken to tho hungry one in her cabin. At half-past 8, she breakfasted. At 11, she had beef tea

ana oiscuits brought to her on deck. Lunch time found her ready l'or three courses of solid food, besides pastry, fruit, etc. At o'clock, sho did valiantly again, and at 10 she was regularly served with a Welsh rarebit, or some other tasty trifle. Notwithstanding this, I rarely met her on deck, or in tho corridors, but she was munching sweets, gingerbread or chocolate.

After all, there are so few distractions on board ship. Men smoke, play poker, or indulge in a little betting on the run of the ship. Some people sleep, somo try to think, but unsuccessfully otliersread some ladies knit. Tho American girl eats.

The American girl likes men's society for several reasons. First, because

Tho society of inen lias all tho less danger for her, that her virtue rests on a firm basis of calculation. She will not embark in tho romanco until she sees her way to profit—and profits thereby. Fortune, or a title, that is her aim. She keeps it i:i view, even in the most touching moments. Between two kisses she will perhaps ask her lover: "Arc you rich.*1 It is tho pinch of rhubarb between two layers of jam.

Tho constant aspiration of these voung republicans is to be ono day countess, marchioness or duchess.

Tho number of European coats of arms which have been taken out of pawn, or regilt, with American dollars, is enormous.

Not long ago a writer on tho staff of Tho Paris Figaro counted among the guests in one of tho most select drawing rooms of the Faubourg Saint Germain, thirty-seven American ladies bearing thirty-seven names of tho most authentic French nobility.

Eveiy ono knows how many American women tho English aristocracy counts in its bosom.

That passion for rich marriages which burns in tho heart of so many young American women, often leads them to disastrous results.

If ono may trust one's eyes, American law allows young girls to marry their grandfathers, or at least the contemporaries of these worthies.

It is not rare to see girls of 18 and 20 married to men of 70 and over. As a Frenchman, I know it scarcely becomes me to throw tho first stono at my neighbor for tliis. Franco is admittedly a country where manages do convenanco are common. Still I must say that tho difference is enormous. In France, it is tho parents who aro to blame and not the girls, whilst in America it is tho young girl herself who chooses her husband she alono is responsible for this crime against Cupid's laws. She has not either the French girl's excuse, ignorance of the world slio knows better what awaits her on leaving the church. A French girl sometimes passes straight from the convent to tho marriage altar, without her consent having been asked, or even her opinion consulted. And again, I must add that if French parents often cause a girl of 20 to marry a man twico her age, they would shudder at tho idea of giving her into tho arms of an old man.

The young American, indulged and petted by her father, counts that an old husband will be more likely to put up with her caprices, aud gratify all her whims, than a young man would whose fortune was not made. "A young husband," she says to herself, "is all very fine but there is my father who does just as I please I am pretty and have hosts of men who tell mo so every day I am free to go where I like and receive whom I like I spend as much as I like shall I exchange all t,hia for a husband who will hamper me with a household and perhaps a largo family who will talk of stocks and perhaps preach economy who will bore me with the prices of grain or cotton seed oil, and give me tho headache with listening to liis politics and heaven knows what? No, no, I will take a husband who will think of nothing but satisfying my caprices." And perhaps sho adds in her wisdom "A man of 70 or 80 I shall not have to put up with very long."

This kind of marriage is tho well worn theme of many American comedies. An American told me that he'once went a long journey in the same railway car with an infirm, hoary old man of 80, who waa accompanied by a girl of scarce moro than 20, My friend admitted to me that the sight of her lovely face had the effect of making him fall quite in love with her before their five days' journey was over. Ho did not havo an opportunity of conversing with her but on arriving at their destination, he resolved1 to put up at tlia same hotel as tho old man, so as to perhaps have a chance of making more ampla acquaintance with his fair charge. To find out tho name of tho young girl and her venerable grandfather, he waited to sign his name in tho hotel register, until tho patriarch had Inscribed his own. Imagine his fedhngs when he read: 'Mr. X. and Wife."

Here is a joke that I culled from a Washington paper. Is it a joke? "A bachelor lately advertised for a wife. A typographical error changed his age from 87 to 87 but it made no difference, for he received over 250 applications from ladies ranging ia.age from 10 to 60, and all promising love and devotion to the rest of his existence."

Here is another, which I extract from a comic p^per. The author seems to believe the American mother does not look on such marriages with displeasure: "Mother—So you have engaged yourself to Mr. Jones. You must bo a goose. He has neither fortune nor position. I know lie may one day bo well off his grandfather may leave him part of his fortune, perhaps. 'But, mamma, it is his grandfather I am engaged to.'

"Mother—Kiss me, my child you are an angel." Whatever may be 6aid on the subject, these maniuges ore but the exception: but the exception ia too frequent to be possible to pans it by in silence.

The An loriean girl is past mistress in tho art of turning to account her little capital of beauty, youth and virtue. Slio knows how to employ ull love'a artillery, and if the object of her desire is recalcitrant she can firs red hot balls.

The late Alfred Assollant told how nn American girl onco succeeded in making a young English lord marry her. In certain states of the Union it is sufficient to pass the night with a woman to bo declared her husband by law in tho morning. This damsel, it appears, invited the young lord to sup in her own room. This is done, or was done, in certain parts of America, and morals perhaps were none tho worse for it. Tho bait took, and at supper tho scion of a lordly houso got tipsy and went to sleep in the maiden's room, all ignorant of tho law.

At daybreak there is a knocking-at the door. Tableau! The fair one, all tearful and disheveled, unbolts it and ushers in the minister, who comes followed by the girl's parents and two witnesses who are in tho plot. Tho young lord in vain protests his innocence ho is married then and there, and tho damsel only consents to his departure after having been bribed by a sum $100,000.

Here is another story of the same stamp which I heard told in America. It is not authentic, but such an anecdote could not originate outside America:

An American girl adored a rich, handsome young fellow, who unhappily did not respond to her flame. One fine day a luminous idea occurs to her. Sho protends to bo ill and sends to tho young man to say sho would like to seo him. Ho hurries to tho home of tho fair invalid, who receives him lying on a sofa. Sho avows her love and begs him to give her one kiss and bid her a long adieu. Tho swain bends over tho sofa. The young lady encircles his neck with her arms, draws his head down and imprints a long, lingering kiBS 011 his lips. During this timo a photographer, hidden behind tho hangings of tho room, had his camera turned on tho young couple. Next day the cunning lass sent her unconscious dupe a proof of tho touching little scene of the day before, asking him how many copies she should get printed. In face of tho betraying collodion and to save his honor, tho youth saw that thero was but ono thing to bo done, and that was to walk to tho altar, which he did without a murmur.

It Is perfectly certain that an American girl does not fear to let a man understand that sho loves him, and that, if need bo, sho lets no falso modesty prevent her from telling him so.

Tho real American girl admires male qualities in man. Tho perfumed dandy, dressed in tho latest fashion, tho "dudo" is not her admiration, sho prefers a little roughness to too much polish. At a largo reception, given in New York in tho early part of the year, I usked a young lady who were ten or a dozen young men who did not miss a single dance. "Oh!" she replied with an air of sovereign contempt, "a few young dudes who havo been invited by tho club just to keep up the dancing- marionettes, you know."

For several years I have been at times troubled with violent attacks of lumbago. They would Inst for several weeks at a time, and tho pain would reach from the lumbar regions, not only to my feet, but to my linger ends.
