Paralyzed BY Chewing Gum.

The most remarkable case that
has come under the observation of
the medical fraternity in this
city for q long time is that of
Mary Yountz, aged IL years, who il
suffering from facial paralysis. This
affection is due to chewing gum, she
having employed the use of her jaws
so constantly during the last three
months that the muscles of her face
are powerless and her nerves are in
dilapidated condition. When she laughs
her face presents an amusing sight, and
vet there is much sympathy felt for the
little girl, as her condition is regarded
as serious one by the physicians who
have been called upon to treat her. In
whatever position she is able to twist
her mouth the muscles remain, and the
face is thus in contorted shape until
one of the members of her family as
sists her with their hands to place il in
proper condition. Her chin drops, and
it frequently becomes necessary to tie
q bandage over her head to keep the
lower jaw in the proper place Mary is
now under the care of Dr.. Hites, who is
applying plasters to her face, and under
this treatment she seems to be improv-

For six months photographs of d

is q woman's hand. In the first that
appeared the hand held glass OF
champagne, but the simple idea Of
photographing woman's hands seems
to have filled a long-felt want. and il
has become quite craze. Of course,
nice people" keep the champagne out
of sight, but other things more absurd
have taken its place. One girl, on
becoming engaged, had photographs
of her hand wearing the engagement
rng, and sent pictures to her most
intimate friends" by way of announce
ment.
Commonly the hand is suspended in
the air, in graceful curves, as if the
owner were saying "ta-ta," and some
times it lies spread upon pillow.
The idea should be adopted by matri-
monial agencies, for there is hardly q
better guaranty of female beauty lex
cept for the complexion than q shapely
hand. It used to be said that we'll
known actress, who was very proud of
her foot, used to have it photographed.
At all events she appeared on the stage
in bare feet whenever there was a pos
sible excuse for it, and the first time
that she did it there was a pretty stir.
True, she wore sandals, but the little
that they covered would have been COW
