FAIR WOMEN.
How Thin Ones May Become Plump
And Fat Ones Reduce Their
Weight.

There is a woman in New York
who has a growing clientele of pa
tients coming TO her to be treated
for ugliness. Women 60 to her
to be made thinner or stouter, to
have their color heightened or re-
duced, to be treated for ugly COM
plexions, red eyes, thin hair, round
shoulders, and all the physical
faults that make the difference
between beauty and the lack of it.
To women who are too stout she
recommends a bath of salt water
in the morning, two or three hand
fuls of rock salt being put in the
bath over night and allowed to
dissolve. They must be rubbed
down with heavy Turkish towel
after this salt bath, and are to
sleep on hard beds while the only
internal treatment she prescribes
is congress water and a grain or
two of roasted coffee to be chewed
half an hour before meals, which
will greatly lessen the appetite for
food. She suggests a diet of
crosses, lettuce and spinach, with
desserts of Iceland moss jellies.
Thin women she feeds on car
rots and parsnips and doses them
with few drops Of acid phosphate
before meals to give them an ap-
petite for the mullins, brown
bread, oatmeal and fruit that are
to form the greater part of their
diet. But what she principally
relies upon to add flesh to thin
girls is pint of sweet milk to be
drunk every night just before get
ting into bed.

width of some cards over others at the

Snakes and Frogs.


The late king of Oude had built a
snai,ery in the gardens of his palace at
Garden i;pach. near Calcutta, SAWS
L0ngnnan 5i:fJt:inc. 1t was an OBJ
long pit abouG thirty feet long by
about twelve feet high and perfectly
Climb up. In the center of the pit
there was u large block Of rough
masonerv, perforated SD that it was as
fnii of holes as a sponge. In this
honrycomhcl block the snakes dwcit.
and when the sun shone brightly they
came out 10 bask-or to feed.
His naicsty used to have live frogs
put into The pit, and amused himself
by seeing the hungry snakes catch the
frogs. When a large snake catches a
small frog it is all over in an instant,
but if Il snallish snake catches a larg-
ish frog, so that he can not swallow it
Mt once, the frogs cries are piteous TO
hear. Again and again | have heard
them while out shooting, and have gnne
to the-bush or tuft of grass from which
the piercing cries came-Sometimes in
time, sometimes too late to save poor
froggy, though the snake generally got
shot. As final story let me tell how
a frog has been seen to turn the tables
on the snake.
Two gentlemen in Cachar some
years ago saw small snake seize a
small frog and attempted to swallow it.
But suddenly II large frog jumped for
ward, seized the snakes tail, and be-
gan to swallow the snake. How the
affair mi@;t have ended can not be
told. because my friends imprudently
drew near to watch the combat, when
the frogs and the snake took alarm,
and the big frog disgorged the snakes
tail and the snake released the little
frog and they all scuified off. But the
tale is perfectly true and both the
gentlemen who saw it are still alive,
aud only regret that it was not my
good luck to see the affair with my
own ewes.

Excessive Gum Chewing.

A statement has appeared in print
that gum chewing is hurtful to the
eyes. The specialists in eye troubles
who were asked about it yesterday by
a N y San reporter all expressed the
greatest surprise that such statement
could have been made.
''What is more" said the physician
in charge of the New York Ophthalmic
and Aural 1ntirmary in Twelfth street.
Il do not'see how the action of the
jaws could affect the eyes in any possi-
BILE way. The optic nerves are wholly
removed from those governing masti-
cation, Neither set of nerves could
have any effect upon the other. If you
had asked me whether gum chewing
hurt the ears, instead of the eyes, l
could at least have found a way. by
which some connection could be estab-
lished between the cause and the
alleged effect, for in chewing, the
muscles of the jaws constantly move
the ear cartilages, rs indeed you can
see for yourself But no delcterous
effect upon the ears follows gum chew
ing. either. 1t has never even been
suggested as possibility"
Another physician said: 1.-The bad
effects of chewing gum are felt by the
digestion only. If the habit is carried
to an excess. SO much saliva will be
secreted and carried into the stomach
as to impair digestion; because action
of the jaws induces action of the saliv-
ary glands. Again, much chewing
may result in weakening the salivary
glands so that they viii not secrete
sufficient saliva during meals to pro-
perly moisten the food before it enters
the stomach, and dyspepsia and indi-
gestion are apt to follow. But gum
chewing is not so dreadful habit as
it is painted. Its evils are grossly ex-
aggerated by those who consider the
habit to be ill bred and vulgar. Wom-
en- do infinitely more harm to their
stomachs with pickles, ices, and hot
drinks, and by eating between meals,
than by chewing gum. There are few
who keep up the habit for any great
length of time. and occasional excess
is atoned for by nothing more dreadful
than possible attack of indigestion.
There are cases where moderate gum
chewing is positively healthful. In
fact, physicians sometimes prescribe
1t. Boiling ones food, yon know. is
the besetting national weakness. Bolt
ed food goes into the stomach without
the necessary saliva, which can only
be had by working the jaws, and it is
an excellent thing to chew a bit of
harmless gum after the meal, and in
that way induce the secretion of more
saliva

The Dog knew His Deer.

By far the most interesting part of
this hunt to me is yet to come. The
voices of the two dogs as they passed
along the mountain had been recog-
nizcd by tho owner and both claimed
the deer. Such things have been
known to cause bitter feud. One
was sure it was his dog and the other
was Just rs sure it was his, but the
question of most Importance to be set
tied was which of the dogs started the
deer? The deer was brought on shore
and laid on the green sward, where
even the ladies, gentle creatures, All
mircd it. Soon the boat arrived with
the two dogs, and one of the old hunt
crs cried out, Send those hounds up
here and let us sec whose deer this is. ."
Never having heard sostrange Il story,
|, half in doubt, said ''What nonsense
is that you are talking?" mo nom
sense, doctor, wait and see.
Being deeply interested | approached
closely, that / might better observe the
animals. One of them walked up 10
the deer, smelt him ali over, and
seemed quite in doubt. Then the other
dog ca:Ir up with an angry growl,
sme!t the deer, and deliberately laid
himself duwa by the animal, while the
first dog q;ijrtly placed his tail between
his lrSs and walked away. l could
not help expressing my amazement,
and still doubling the fact l said to my
old guide, THAT dog that is lying 10y
the deer has been the master of the
other and has cowed him. "On the
contrary" said my informer, 1.-THE dog
that gave up the deer is the better fight
er and whips that dog every time"
We learned during the day that the
deer had been started ten miles down
the river by the dog that claimed it,
and the sound of his voice drew the
other one, about four miles below the
lake; confirming the test and proving
the wonderful instinct of the hound
