There Is absolutely no limit to the
,ecklessAess of women with drugs
specially those proper to the toilet.
One woman fancied earbolic acid
would improve her skin, and SO 1t
will, diluted enough. But she used 1t
strong, till the skin of her face crack
ID, peeled and-that was not the
worst-left a downy growth which
spoiled originally decent cheeks.
Another thought cold baths the finest
stimulant in the world, and took a
plunge in the coolest well water twice
a day in warm weather, till she had
to give up, with her thear probably
injured for life. Another believed in
hot baths, and after unlimited trial
came out so weakened that it took
years to restore her.
Moderation is the rule for all treat
ment, but most persons learn it too
late, and miss the lifelong benefit
they might derive from the agencies
they wear out in a year or two.
Electricity has been sadly oyerdoue
by women who fancied they knew
enough to treat themselves, boughta
small battery and tried to use it as
a bank ofvitality. Students try to
do double work by aid of this fear
full stimulant, and find out it Skaters
their nerves in less time than alcohol.
1t is OF no use TO try to find a philos-
opher's stone, or an Aladdin lamp,
or any substitute for the painstaking
process of developing care and judg-
ment for ones self. You cannot by
any marvel of science give health or
by pressing an electric button, or
the handles of battery, or
swallowing any bolus, or lathering
yourself with sweet scented lotions,
cosmetic recipe books and
dealers may tell you so in flourishing
sentenee.-Shirley Dare's Letter.

The Big Parasol.

Speaking of the large parasols, the
London Telegraph says: The new
'orm is decidedly not coquettish.
This combined alpenstoek and
tent" cannot serve to hide smile or
stand sentinel over a betraying blush;
It is ponderous and ungainly, and
yet there is possibly scientific sug-
gestion for its sudden existence. When
waists were born low, the hands
naturally fell to the frontier of the
bodice and rested on the parasol
handle, AS waists rose, the handle
ofthe shade-produces, or rain-averter,
rose after them, so that when the
''Directoire' fashion came boldly in,
and the central sash crept up toward
the throat, the hands rose with the
sash, and the umbrella-for it would
be ridiculous to call these structures
parasols-fearlessly went after the
hands. They are utilized, it is stated,
for carrying all manner of feminine
requisites, just as our gildsd youths
carry matches and cigarettes in their
walking sticks, and those minute
toilet mysteries of which it is not
awful to speak in detail, but which
the stern conditions Of our Innate
necessitate, are alleged to be cunning
" concealed in the huge bonbonniere
that, as a rule, surmounts this mod
srn maiden's mast. Still the question
arises "Quosque tendem?" and we
are inclined to think that she will be
wise and patriotic in these times who
shall boldly adventure the first move
n the sensible direction Of restricting
the formidable dimensions of these
sun-shading. two-handled saplings,
or in truth they are just now of an
inartistic, gigantic and grotesque
character.

The Insane Herb.

Boston Transcript.
This plant, which has enjoyed con-
siderable notoriety from the fact
that popular superstition has ac-
credited it with thepower of produc-
ing insanity, as is implied in the
name originally given to it by the
Mexicans, "Herba loca"-''insano
herb" Many writer's Of romance
have woven wonderfully pathetic
stories around the alleged fact that
some jealous maiden has prepared a
decoction Of this herba loca, and be.
guiled her victim into drinking il 4.
after which he becomes insane or dies
n raying maniac. Mr.. james Ken
nedy, Ph. g., in a paper before the
Texas Pharmaceutical society, hns
picked the bubble. After minutely
describing the plant, and various
analysis made OF it, he giyesa report
OF numerous experiments made with
1t, all of which proved coaclusiyely
that the much-yaunted poison 81
herba loca is n myth, and that the
plant is perfectly harmless. 1t is in
teresting, however, to note what an
amount OF apparent strong corrob.
oratiye eyidencecan be found for any
superstition, Mr.. Kennedy
having found that every farmer in
Texas who knew the plant was pre-
pared to testify that it would poison
cattle who ate it. Mr.. Kennedy clcar.
