Wnen L am away ana reUeUoer ue. All,
little onel Try to understand i'll am 60
ing away, dear. When 1 come back you
will be big boy. You will have forgotten
me. It's very hard to think OF, dear, that's
why 1 cry" 1 raised the baby lips, the
bright curls, the pretty throat with its warm
creases the wee pink hands that were sticky
with jam, and the tiny boots that covered
his restless feet, and then because he fretted
to get at the new toy I had brought him,
let him go-let him 60 as if forever-and
bolted.
''There is something terrible in the pain
of the love one gives child. I can express
it so poorly! One can never bring knowl-
edge of it into the baby eyes. One dare not
hold the little form too closely even, or tine
dear life is crushed out. "Goodby," called
by" I answered, looking up to see him
hanging over the railings, his toes peeplng
between the banisters. his toss OF halr
frightened by the light from the stained
window above, and the dear little face
aglow with laughter. Dear little face!
Shall ever see it again ?"
And that was from an actress of jollity,
and she wasn't consciously trying her emo
tional powers on me.
POSSIBILITIES OF THE AGE.
This is a wonderful age in which we live.
But the coming one will be still more amaz-
ing The Eifel Tower is but q walking
stick compared to what we shall have in the
coming century, and Edison's photograph
will ere long become trite and commonplace
beside the newer triumphs which science
has in store for us. You are doubtless
aware that, scientifically considered. bit
OF musk or ambergrIs is quite as persistent,
solid and lasting as mass OF granite. A
thousand years have no appreciable effect
upon it. 1t continues to give off Its mole
cules with the same vigor and strength. A
single drop of altar Of roses will perfume a
hogshead of water.
And you no doubt know what hypoder-
mic syringe is, especially if you are subject
to neuralgia attacks. Well, for those who
don't know, let me explain that it is simply
c tiny syringe with a needle-like nozzle,
which the operator merely thrusts under the
skin, and then presses the button, so to ex-
press its contents. Nature does all the rest
II morphine happens to be in the tiny
syringe, nature takes up the drop of quiet
ing and benumbing fluid by means Of her
absorbents, and transfers it to the mouths
of the countless veins, hair-like in ineness,
which in turn bear it along until they pour
it mixed with the stream of venous blood
into the furnace of the lungs. There the
forth from the mouth with every fall of the
chest.
THE APPLICATION OF A PRINCIPLE.
Well. what of it, you say? Now. sup
posing instead of giving the absorbents this
drop of morphine, you substituted drop of
bergamot, or violet, or rose, can't you see
that the lung furnace of that person would
send out perfumed breath. But more than
that, these wonderful absorbents would
carry that iufnitesimal supply Of perfume
to the very tips of the fingers. The hands
and the face, in fact the whole body, would
exhale deliciously faint suspicion of rose
or violet. In other words, by means of the
hypodermic syringe, it is the simplest thing
in the world for woman to send her favor
lite perfume literally to the very core of her
heart. Every word she speaks, every mo-
tion she makes, nature will give back this
delightful odor which the tiny hypodermic
set ahoat under her skin. The coming
woman will be perfumed through and
through.
Invitations to dinner will contain an ad-
ditional word printed in the corner of the
card, in this way: (Violet) or (Rose) or
(Heliotrope). This will be necessary in
order to avoid the presence of several ladies
all exhaling the same perfume in CONVEX
satlon. hence IL Will not De unusual In
eBumerating woman's points OF beauty to
formulate them in this manner: "Dashing
blonde, tall and Diana-like in her motions,
skin of exquisite texture, hands and feet of
very asistocratic shape, teeth and hair per-
fection; e1hales most delicate rose." It
will be found necessary to introduce new
expression into the language to correspond
to ''sweet TOOTH" to wit, "sweet nose" The
daily journals will from time to time con-
tain such paragraphs as this: "a Sweet
Nose Gets him Into Trouble. Van Winkle
Treekle, commonly known as Tweetie
Treekle, was discharged from a clerkship
in the postofice last week. His tondness
for rose breaths led him to make convefsa-
ton whenever lady exhaling that perfume
made her appearance at his window. AL
though repeatedly warned, Treekle was un-
able to wean himself from the indulgence.
