This is the way
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—-but you don’t
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
Comfort isn’t all of it
though. Soft Eyelets, and
"bones” that can’t break or
kink—-Ball’s corsets have
both of these.

The lawyer, having duly hor;itched hid

But the liest thing for you to do would
be to keep tho eggs and let your neigh

A Unique Character.
A unique character in the Princeton
college faculty is Joseph Korge, profess
or of tmxlern languages.. Adventure
and experience of a rough nature bav
market! his life, the earlier i»art of which
was spent in Europe. Coming from
family of Polish gentlemen who made
arms their profession, he went into tho
German army soon after finishing his
university education, and for a time wu«
closely associated with Prince Fredejjck.
Later on the Polish insurrection
him into it and made a longer residence
within Russian dominions undos? rable.
So the ardent Pole came to this country,
and won distinction in the Union army
before ho settled down os a pedagogm
under tho shadow of old Nassau.—Har

About Hook Reviewing.
An expert book reviowerdoes not need
read a hook thoroughly in orifer to de
scribe it sufficiently for his purpose.
Most nowspapor l>ook reviews aro more
ilescriptions and not criticisms, and such
notices can bo written quickly by one
who has had experience and has the
necessary ability. When a publisher
sends in a l>ook of sufficient importance
deservo a careful criticism, either the
editor takes time to read itor he dele
gates the work to somebody else. There
a few papers that always givo care-
roviews of the books they notice, but
their number is very small.—Writer.
