AN UNHAPPY DRAWBACK,
That the waters make the bathers

however, that no prudential considela-
ton will prevent the spread OF the
fame of these baths, and we shall,
without question. soon hear of the
Schiangen Bad waters at our fashiona-
BILE chemists and perftlmers. They
will be brought over and puryeyed by
the bottle, no doubt. and many Il Cd

in all the diabolieal beauty of youth.
IT'S STARTLING TO REFLECT
How many modern discoveries make
realities OF the myths and legends ol
antiquity. Apparently there is hardly
wonder OF the . Arabian Nights
or the 8 Fairy Tales but is some
way or another we may expect i'll the
fullness of time to see become Il prac-
teal fact. and now that the fountain
of perpetual youth is discovered, the
philosophers stone will very likely be
next in order. If we can add TO the
faculty OF perennial rejuvenation that
of constantly replenishing our purses
so that unchanging lightness of hear'
bined with exhaustless gold-we ought
if we could only forget the experience
Of Faust and what the career of thai
aspiring gentleman ended in.
