CORSETS 0N MONKEYS.
A prominent physician in Chicago
has been testing the sanitary effects
of corsets by applying the test of tight
lacing on monkeys. Mlnaiure
“monkey corsets” were constructed
and applied to selected specimens of
our female progenitors.
The V-shaped corsets of our fash-
ionable women when tightly laced
were found to be fatal to the young
monkeys and some of them died an.
der the pressure in a few days.
But in general the monkey lost flesh
moped and were attacked by gastric
and other internal disorders. The
hardiest of them died within a few
months and the doctor reports that in
every case the stays l are the cause
of it.
However, our Simian relatives
might not thrive if they had to wear
high-heeled boots, goloshes, altitudl-
nous collars, plug hats and dieters;
consequently the monkey argument is
not conclusive against the corset.
indeed it would be "a and experiment
in evolution if a human being. after
surviving the effects of prehistoric
ancestry, could not dbfy so small a
thing as a corset “Boston Globe.

CHANGES OF POOR lN MEXICO.-
Mexican labor is not always cheap.
There are mines in Mexico that do not
pay dividends: rubber treeswlll not
grow on the cold plateaus, and there
are sections of the country that have
had droughts. There exist also un-
scrupulous people who are willing to
paint Mexico as a .iand of milk and
honeyl for their own selfish ends.
Every man who is broughtvto Mexico
under a misapprehension as to its re-
sources and the possibilities-for prof-
itable investment that exist for him
eventually harms the Republic more
than. he is personally injured. .The
opportunities fer agricultural and in-
dustrial investment and trade expan-
sion in Mexico are many and varied
in character. but the truth should be
frankly told about these openings. '
There are many chances for invest-
ment of large capital. comparatively
few for the man of small means. and
no room at all for the poor man.
There are plenty of poor people al-
ready in Mexico. The American ls.-
borer cannot compete in wages or the
standard of living with the native
