[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YOBK, July 28.—It is no wonder that Puck exclaimed, "What fools, these mortals bet" when'one seriously thinks of the many devices hitman beings invent for their own torttrre. The fair sex has the renown for the most heroic courage in the way of bearing physical torture for the sake of being or appearing more beautiful. Shoes pinch, and skirts drag heavily, and hatpins hurt the head, and veils injure the eyes, but all of these together weigh little beside the torture of the corset, and the corset wo have had with us for thousands of years. There have been found some barbarous iron corsets dating back to the palmy days of Rome and Greece, and I do not doubt that Eve managed to provide herself with some crude form of stays. The Flemish corset of the sixteenth century makes one think of the horrors of the Inquisition. It was made of wrought iron and must have been torture most agonizing.

Those of the seventeenth century were even worse, as there was no attempt to conform them to the human figure at all, and they were stiff and terrible and had straps to go over the shoulders. From the beginning until now the object has been to fence in the human form and draw it into lines as ugly as they are unnatural,

INSTRUMENTS OF TORTURE.

and so necessary has the corset become that no gown can be made that has no corset to first hold the form in certain position. Today there are hundreds of new corsets, each bearing' its own brand. There are long'-waistfed ones, short waisted ones, high and lov^ hips and others to simulate roundness where none exists. The variety of corsets differing in shape is astonishing. Then there are girdles with curious devices for holding the bust in position while leaving the rest of th6 body free, and there are many dthers adapted for certain physical deformities. All these corsets are stiff and cast in the same molds as far as may be, and none but woman can tell of the agony of breaking in anew pair of corsets. There are also several styles of corset waists which are softer and looser and healthier, but they have comparatively few devotees, because they do not give that same stiff effect, and also one cannot lace them tighter.

It is possible that men can feel a slight portion of discomfort in high, tight collars, particularly when the collar begins to grow bristly whiskers along the edges under the hands of the laundress, but that is only a trifle compared to the constant torture of corsets. And yet womeu opce addicted to them never leave them off.

There are a few old people who are always talking about tiie good old times and telling how pretty and becoming bygone styles were. Not to go back so very far, let us look at the modes of only seven years ago and compare them with those of today. The distended skirt and the vast quantities of drapery, the close sleeves and general effeot make up a very inartistic picture beside the gown of today. Today's gown is of dainty figured silk In light colors and tints, with a straight skirt and no drapery, unless perhaps the panels set in the sides might como under that heading. What has been lost in the skirt of the gown of today may be found in the sleeves. This particular gown has puffed sleeves, with an inset of plain silk. The whole waist is covered with a pelerine bertha of lace, with puffings of tho same silk as that used in the gown. The fore parts of the sleeves are covered with lace. The skirt is made to fit tightly around the hips, whereas the ''yesterday" gown was distended to absurd dimensions all around.

But even these will be forgotten in the new Louis XVI fashions that are now being prepared for us. These, I find by reference to a book of costumes, will differ from the pr&sent modos in having long Waists'rjotily trimmed. The skirts will be extremffly full and, stiff, opening over same differently .oolored underskirt. And this will, also be flounced or lttfipjhl? em*, brpidjere^.

Adelina Patti's voice can hardly be said to have failed, since It still earns for her more than $4,000 a night.

Lincoln J. .Carter will have nine companies on the road next season, five in this country and four in England.

For the summer season only Nettie De Coursey has deserted comic opera and farce comedy for the vaudeville stage.

Madeline Shirley has received from London anew burlesque called "Litle Napoleon and Miss Don't Care a ."

Edwin M. Royle's new play, "Mexico," will be produced at the Euclid Avenue Opera house, Cleveland, on Aug. 26.

Loonard Boyne is not coming over next season to star here. He is about tho only English actor of prominence who isn't.

Aubrey Boucicault originated a leading role in Carroll and Korkor's comic opera, "Kismet or, The Two Tangled Turks."

The Marie Decca Grand English Opera company, under the management of Frederick Thomas, will take tho road next season.

Richard Mansfield has closed the run of "Thrilby," in order to make repairs and alterations in his Garrick theater, New York.

The play by Edward and Harry Paulton, in which the Hollands will star next season, has been renamed "Tho Man With a Past."

KNIGHTHOOD AND CHIVALRY.

Mexico has an ordei designated tho Mexican Eagle. Among tho old rench orders is that of the Bee, a femalo societ\ founded in 1703.

Five Spanish orae*3uj.e designated Order of Our Lady,tho namo of the place following.

Holland has not many orders of nobility. The leading one being the Crown of Oak, founded in 1841.

China has an order of nobility which is conferred on deserving subjects who are able to pay well for the distinction.

As a recognized state institution, chivalry is first found in Franco, whence it spread to Spain, to Italy, to Germany and to England.

The Order of St. Catherine Is a highly coveted Russian distinction. This order was established in 1714 to reward the heroes of a Turkish war.

The article on chivalry in the Encyclopaedia Britannica was written by Sir Walter Scott and is perhaps the best resume of the subject ever given to the public.

Quite a number of Scott's novels, among them "The Talisman," "Ivanhoe," "Count Robert," "Castle Dangerous" and "Quentin Durward," contain charming pictures of the best days of chivalry.

Not many years ago every prince and duke in Italy had the privilege of issuing insignia of orders, and not a few of these distinctions wero originated solely for the purpose of affording the originator an income.

TO THE SUMMER GIRL.

Mistrust the young man who quotes pootry. Tie up to him who, without affection, quotes the latest price of eggs.

Don't wind your ivy affection around the oaken heart of the boy who spends money on you recklessly or beyond his means.

The man who can play the guitar and sing "Thy Faco Shall Ever Lead Me On" is not necessarily a better match than the husky youth with steady work.

Don't wear tight boots. A plain, sunburned girl with a natural waist and good, broad soles, on which she can jump, is tho choice of the youth worth having.

Do not marry for money, but don't inarry to prove that you care nothing for gold. Don't think seriously of any young man' who cannot make at least a decent living. ,,

If you aro not beautiful and have wit, cultivate that. Read about Mme. DeStacl. She was never, strictly speaking, a summer girl, but her life is full of useful suggestions to you.

Just dress yourself in nice, fresh frocks and say all tho nice things' you can think of about the prettier girls. Vou will be ehgagfed to the son of a, merchant prince before yod know it, perhaps to the sons of two merchant princes.—New York World.

"For four years I was a sufferer from nervous debility. During that time I took a great many remedies without getting any help until I tried Paine's celery compound. I took six bottles of that remedy and was cured, I cheerfully recommend Paine's celery compound."

So writes Mrs. M. S. Schoonmaker of 8014 Jane street, New York City. Too many women needlessly suffer- from nervous troubles, not only in the cities, but everywhere.

Their whole world too frequently lies inside the four walls of their homes. Think of the many persons, men as well as women, who spend most of their lives barricaded within the narrow confines of their dwellings. Summer finds them pale and tired out. Their store of nervous vitality has been slowly brought down by vitiated air and sedentary life. Their whole system needs a thorough replenishing. The nerves want nourishment, the tissues are not half supplied \vith material for the repair of their parts, and the great vital organs must have

richer blood to make them sound and active, and to keep them so. The nervee and brain need nourishment.

The power of refreshing and reviving every part of the languid body is what makes Paine's celery compound the marvelous strengthener and invigorator of this century. It is this same capacity to recruit the worn out nervous system, to rejuvenate the blood that has enabled this remarkable remedy to help so many debilitated persons and to restore them again to firm health.

Rheumatism, neuralgia, pain in the region of the heart, debility- aud nervous weakness, showing itself in any of its myriad forms, are dispelled by Paine's celery compound. It feeds enervated tissues all over the body. It gives fresh vigor to the entire nervous tract, the brain, the large nerve centers in the pplnal cord aud the nerves themselves to their minutest ramification.
