What It Mears.

To the man or woman who has never been i'll, the word "health" is meaningless. But to the one who has suffered and despaired, health appears as priceless boon. To the thousands of unfortunate women who are suffer- ing from some of the many forms of weaknesses or irregularities peculiar to their sex, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription holds forth the promise of 8 speedy restoration of this "priceless bOon.o

Plain Lectures on Health.

If the women's colleges would add to
their course of study q series of very
plain lectures N the care Of health, it
would be worth any amount Of Anglo
Saxon literature on political economy.
Nothing would make a school more popu-
lar than to supplement such lectures with
strict personal care Of the habits of each
pupil. 1t would become a .'beauty
school" in the full sens Of the word, as
celebrated for sending out young ladies
with brilliant compilations s Harvard

necessary for young ladies to have their
faces chased rs 10 have their manners
and their grammar corrected? Now, the
most high minded and fastidious of Lady
Sylvias has a slender body, which works
over daily not less than seven pounds Of
food and drink, or ought to, and throws
out no less than five pounds of waste by
its great ducts, the bowels and kidneys,
and its millions of needle ducts in the
skin. Really this is very terrible for dis
cussion, and l warmly agree with her
majesty Victoria in thinking stomachs

But thousands Of women are losing

The story of N Werewolf.

A noble gentleman Of Brittany, In high
favor with the king. married a lovely
lady. There would have been no limit to
their happiness but that three days out of
every week the gentleman my~steriously
disappeared. When pressed by his wife
for an explanation he confessed that he
was q Bisclaveret or werewolf, and for
three days in the week was condemned to
assume a VOLTS shape. The lady was
sore troubled and determined to rid her.
self of so Objectionable a husband. Learn
ing that if the lords clothes were stolen
after the metamorphosis was effected he
could not resume his human shape, she
and a false cavalier who loved her
watched him and got possession of the
castoff garments. As from that day the
husband was no more seen she married
the cavalier.
One day the king was out hunting
when a wolf that had been sore pressed
by the hounds made its way TO him and
looked at him with so pitiful and human
an expression that the kings heart was
touched. He spared it and brought it

favorite. But one day when the false
cavalier came to court it jumped upon
him with a wild cry and bit him severely.
And when some days later the wife
claimed an audience with the king the
wolf flew at her, too, and bit off her
nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf
would have been killed, but that a wise
man counseled the prince to find out first
what could be the reason of the VOLTS
grudge to the lady and her husband.
And, being threatened with imprison-
ment, the lady, terrified, confessed all
she knew, and when the clothes of her
former husband were given to the wolf
he was transformed into human shape
and the king rejoiced to recognize his old
favorite. The guilty pair were igno-
m~iniously banished. They lived several
years and had many children, all the

A Chinese lady in approved modern
fashionable dress attracted a great deal
of interested attention in Broadway the
other morning. To any one o~vertaking
her the figure was that Of a medium
sized girl dressed with exceptional eie-
gance and taste. She wore a silk dress
of a dainty green tint cut and slashed
and trimmed after the latest Partisan
ideas, and a heavy black beaded passe-
menterie cape over her shapely shoulder
gave a wonderful appearance Of neatness

Painting the Baby's Face.

A letter from Paris informs us that the
doctors are again at war with silly
mothers belonging to the fashionable cir
,les. The latest fanaticism of La Mode
is to apply the horrors of face painting to
little children. In the public gardens
babies Of Q years old may now be seen
whose eyebrows have been BACKED or
dyed by their senseless mothers. Other
anxious parents, distressed at the vul-
carly ruddy and rustic hue Of their chill
lren's cheeks. carefully powder them
before sending them forth to meet the
gaze and criticism Of the world. Little
coquettes of 10 years are not permitted
to go abroad until the regulation black
stroke has been painted beneath their
eyes. The doctors warn the mothers
that when the children thus barbarously
treated reach the age of lG they will
have a colorless and ruined complexion.

Taking Too Much Ouinine.

The quinine habit is gaining strength
every day. Dizziness, that you hear in.
Vulnerable people complaining of in these
days, can be traced TO excess in the use
of quinine. The good effects, that ii is
nearly always certain of, are lost by ex-
cessive doses. Too much quinine will
also produce congestion Of the ear and
vibration Of the auditory nerve. The
growing habit Of taking quinine for
neuralgia and other like ailments, with.
out consulting a physician, is altogether
reprehensible, and may lead to very seri-
ous results. Many cases Of deafness are
produced by overdoses and long continued
use of the drug.-Physician in Globe

THOSE FOOLISH CHINESE.
Trying to Make a Dead Man Believe
THAT He Belongs to Strangers.

A Chinaman seems to combine with
fear of spirits a marvellous faith in their
stupidity, as is witnessed by the eXpedi-
ents he adopts to circumvent and de-
ceive them, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. He apparently at
tributes to them, among other things. a
curious incapacity for recognizing their
claims upon their own people If only
they a be got to enter upon their
spiritual existence on the premises of
others. In such IL case the penalty of
any neglect will most probably be Wis
tied on these latter unfortunate persons.
1t is they who had better provide the
funeral and pay the expense of it., lest
the spirit. starved and piqued, should
return to the place whence he had set
out to wreak his vengeance. An incl
dent that occurred in the experience of
aShanghai missionary, somewhat anus
ingly illustrates a bold attempt to re-
move altogether the risk that men
ordinarily provide against by their an
cestor worship. The missionary was
sitting, cold winter evening. at his
study table. y servant came in and in
formed his master that a dead man had
been found in the garden. The mission

An economical family had
evidently brought the dying man and
laid him there that they might II
themselves the expenses of the funeral
by throwing them on the foreign mis-
sionary, and the ruling passion of thrift
had further dictated the substitution of
a covering of straw for his personal
clothing. The missionary felt the body
all Over and found 1t already cold, but,
On the chance of their being life left,
he had it carried indoors, whore he
poured down its throat a dose of patent
medicine in which he had great faith,
at the same time ordering more straw
to be thrown upon him. Some time
later he thought he would go and see
how his corpse patient was getting on.
On this second examination he
fancied he detected a faint sign
of life in the region OF the
heart. More of the patent mcdi-
cine was given and more straw. To
make n long story short, the dead man
came to life again and stood up in all
the naked dignity of his manhood.

The saloons are still on the Increase. a
new one was opened yesterday on Upper
Broadway, swelling the number to nine.
Mayor Rohrer's fines are coming in very
slowly. They were due on the 18th OF the
month, and only three of the indebted parties
have settled up to date. Some of them made
a kick to the mayor because he allowed out.
siders to examine the receipt stub book,
claiming that the temperance people secured
much damaging evidence against them in
that manner. The mayor wants the money
so badly that he is willing TO Conccdc almost
anything in u quiet way to secure il, ana the
result was that all reporters asking to see
the stub were told that the mayor had given
orders not to show it. AS the policy Of the
head city official seems to be to protect the
saloons, the order excited no surprise. 1t
would Indicate that the mayor has tuCitly
promised the saloon men that he would do
what he could TO suppress any evidence
against them from getting into the possession
of the temperance folks, If they will only pay
up promptly and make no fuss about it.
Mayor Rohrer is severely censured for
taking advantage of his office to conspire
with the liquor element to defeat the ends of
the law.
