Her family physician has told her of the serious illness which re sult from constricting the waist line four or five inches. The Gossard Corsets they lace in front are cut exactly like a surgical bandage. They gently support the organs, impel correct poise, deep breathing, correct posi tion both sitting and standing, and have beautiful artistic lines. Gossard Corsets are not expensive as low in price us $5,00. They are made of durable fabrics, light but strong, outwear sev eral, ordinary corsets, and are a real economy, because $5.00 invested in a scientific corset, correctly fitted, may save hundreds of dollars in doctor's bills. Fortunate indeed is the girl whose wise mother selects the Gossard for her first corset. Wilcox Department Store Conetier.

GEOGRAPHICAL ODDITIES. Some Peculiar Fact About Thot Great United States. Tho following collection of geograph ical peculiarities about tho United States aim places therein embodies certain unique points well worth rc membcrlug. A novel way to demuustrato the sizo of the statu of Texas Is to spread out a map of the union and stretch a string across Texas the longest way. Then, placiiiB one end of the measure at Chi cago, one will tlnd time tho otuer end will extend Into either the Atlantic ocean or the gulf of Mexico. Tho two largest counties In the United States are Custer county Mont., and San Bernardino county Cnl. Each of these is a little more than 20,000 squnro miles In extent, nnd tho states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Dolaware and Now Jersey could be put Inside the boundaries of either of them, Tho smallest county In the union Is Bristol county, It. 1., which has only twonty-flvo square miles. About fifty miles from Durango, Colo., tliero is a point whero four states meet. Hero by stopplug a few feet In cither direction ono can walk iu four different commonwealths In as many seconds. These commonwealths are tho states of Colorado and Utah and tho territories of Now Mexico and Ari zona. A nearly parallel case Is at Harpers Ferry, whero the train Btops a few minutes to allow tho passengers to alight and enjoy a view which per mits them to look Into three states, Maryland, Virginia nnd West Virginia.

POISON TREES. They Are Found In Only Two Placet In the World. Iu only two places in the world, Queensland and the west coast of Af rlca, can tliero bo found that most re markable of nature productions, the Erythroplilocum lnhoucherl (or poison tree). Referring to this tree In speak ing at n meeting of tho Sydney Nat ural nistory society, A. Meston, for merly protector of aborigines in north ern Queensland, says that when In full foliage It Is ono of tho most beau tiful trees In the world. Tho wood Is elegantly grained and marked by col ors ami peculiar streaks which readily distinguish It from any other known timber. It is extremely hard and tough, and the blacks of the Capo York ponlnsula use It for making their woomeras, with which they throw the spear. Tho treo bears loug rods con taining beans, which, like tbo leaves, are fatal to all animal life. Tbo stomach of a dead goat or a dead sheep may show only tbreo or four undlgcst cd green leaves, All animals nro blind before ther die and remain blind if thoy recover. This tree killed sixteen of tho Chlllagoo compnny's camels. It killed some of the horse and cattle (if the .Tnrdlnc brother Iu their ex pedition toCtipe York In 1801.
