The Corporation of Glovers and Stay- tinkers of Paris has just celebrated the seventh centenary of its industry with a banquet and ball. The origin of the corset is essentially unaristo- cratic. A butcher in. the thirteenth century had a talkative wife , who was , In addition , something of a virago. To reduce her to silence he imprisoned her" body in the first pair of stays. Wives have imitated and improved upon the f dea of the thirteenth century butcher , but stays and silence have ceased to be synonymous. As lately as two cen turies ago they were forbidden in France in churches , at the King's Court when the King was present , and in the ! courts of law. In the first part of the eighteenth century they almost passed 1 out of fashion , but Paris followed Lon- don id such matters , as it does to-day , and when in 1S39 it was known that the London dandies wore six different kinds of gloves each day , the fashion returned to Paris and has never left It - Dundee Advertiser.

PAINT PREVENTS : ; RUST. \ By William II. V Iker. Inasmuch as both moisture and oxygen are I i3 necessary in order that corr.osion may pro- ceed , it can easily be seen that the duty of /1111 a protective paint is to exclude both of these elements. It is well known that a linseed oil film is an expansive p'oroua structure \ act- L ing somewhat as a sponge toward moisture and fre'ely allowing the passage of oxygen. The function of the pigments employed in paint is therefore-at least threefold. First , the more ob- vious one of imparting a color thereto ; second , the most important one of 'filling up the pores or interstices in the oil film , thus rendering it as little impervious to moisture and air as possible , and , third , to aid the com- posite film in drying or oxidizing to a compact impen- etrable covering. Very little work has as yet been done upon paints from this point of view , but with a clear conception of the factors involved in the corrosion of iron , an intelligent study is made possible and val- . uable results can be predicted with certainty. The porosity of paint fikns containing no linseed , oil , but composed of various bituminous materials which may be adapted for the purpose , is also a field which can be studied with profit , with a view to increasing their moisture and oxygen-excluding properties.-Engi- neering Magazine. WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES By Vice President James ShermUa. . We have to-day 80,000,000 of people , occupy- ing 3,000,000 square miles of territory , and they own $120,000,000,000 of wealth. On farms. valued at $25,000,000,000 we produce annually agricultural products valued at 8000000000. It is nothing that we produce annually 2,500- ' 000,000 bushels of corn and 11,000,000 bales of cotton , if there is no demand . . . . for the corn - - - - - - - - - - - - and cotton and if the demand is not at a fair return. But we have the market. Our 5,500,000 of peo- ple who produce $15,000,000,000 of manufactured prod- ucts annually , and receive in wages $230,000,000 , make the market.

On these railroads we . have 100,000 engines , carrying mil lions of cars and hauling 2,000,000,000 tons. of freight. This praotically equals all the tonnage carried by all the railroads and all the ships of all the rest of the world- This monstrous task is performed by 5,500,000 of ainployes , who are yearly paid $2,300,000,000 , and this vast business is conducted by $150,000,000,000 of bank clearances.

Mr. Rog- 2rs died of apoplexy , an ending which ae ! had reason to anticipate , for nearly two : years ago he had suffered from a stroke which compelled a temporary retirement from business activities , Henry H : Rogers was a native of Mattapolsett , Mass. , and _ was 60 years I 3f age when death brought to a close . ills marvelous career. As a boy he attended school In Fairhaven , Mass. , sphere ; his father was a grocer-a town svhich ; years afterward was the recip ient of his financial favor in many ways. ; He began his business career selling newspapers and driving a de- ivery wagon for his father. Then he : worked . as a clerk In New Bedford for I $3 ; a week. After five years he became i i railroad brakeman and baggageman it $1.16 per day. Shortly after reach- ng his majority he went with his poung wife to the Pennsylvania oil ountry , taking with him his savings of ) $600. There he came into contact tflth ' that group of Oil City boys many Df whom later were to be numbered imong the financial.kings of America. n 1866 , after five years in the oil fields , he went to Brooklyn as partner n the firm conducting the Charles ratt Oil Works.

"Two gfeat ideas Mr. Rogers contrib uted to the development of the oil business. He invented , the machinery by which naphtha was first succes - ully separated from thev crude oil , hus making the way for all that has been done since in the use of naphtha and its kindred products , and making the handling and use of the residual oil far safer than It had even been before because the volatile constituent had been removed. Of late years Mr. Rogers , with Will- , am Rockefeller , left the matter of- oil' production ) and distribution with oth- ers , and devoted' himself to the man- agement of the many millions of dolr arse which make the Standard Oil Company one of the great financial powers of the world. Mr. Rogers' first wife was Libble T. Quilford. of Fairhaven , Mass.

On Wall street he was adamant ; at home and among hla friends he was genial , warm-heart ed , lovable. His intimate friends were drawn from two extremes of life.

It is a merger of the zebra and the camel and is also a distant relative of the palm tree. The giraffe consists of eight feet of neck equipped with a body at one end and a head at the other. In the matter of neck it has all the rest of the animal kingdom beaten by a length ! The giraffe's mouth is located so far from its stomach that it has tc eat to-day to appease to-morrow's ap petite. Many : a giraffe has starved to death while the first meal it had eaten for two weeks was slowly traveling its transcontinental esophagus. The giraffe looks as if it had start ed out to be a zebra , but , having reach ed the shoulders , had kept on going. It is very dark in color , marked by yellowish'brown stripes in a handsome linoleum pattern. It lives on tree tops , eagles' nests and rainbows. During the Boer war the British army had some difficulty with giraffes , which , formed a great liking for war balloons and frequently nibbled them during their flight in order to inhale the gas. "Why does the giraffe have a long distance neck ? Persons given to the use of common sense will realize that Africa Is rich in insect life as well as animal life and that all African ani mals carry innumerable parasites on their hides. The giraffe's head is so far from his body that a long neck is absolutely necessary in order that he may reach down and grab off a tick from his fetlock when necessary. Even a child could see this.-Collier's "Week- , iv 1 : She Followed Instructions.

"I was troubled by a severe itching. and dry , scurfy skin on my ankles , f feet , arms and scalp. Scratching made- it worse. Thousands of small red pim pIes formed and these caused intense- itching. I was advised to go to the oospital for diseases of the skin. I did ' so , the chief surgeon saying : 'I never M saw such a bad case of eczema. ' But [ got little or no relief. Then I tried , ; many so-called remedies , but I became so bad that I almost gave up in de- spair. After suffering agonies for twelve months , I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applications of Cuticura Oint- ment.I continued its use , combined . with Cuticura Soap and Pills , and I was completely cured.
