Examiner says: This city is just now pass.
ing through one of the most curious
manias of fashion ever known.
1t is nothing else than the perfuminp
OF persons-not merely their clothes OF
their hnir or the surface of their skin,
but the very flesh and blood of their
bodies.
This curious result is obtained by tho
hypodcrmic injection of u few drops of
the most pungent essence.
The fact was discovered by one who
was addicted to tn. habit OF using NOR.
phinc by injections. She noticed that
after an unusually heavy dose of the drug
her body exhalcd very pcrccptibly its
characteristic odor.
In the spirit of curiosity she then
charged her needle syringe with few
drops of patchouli, and presently oh.
served the same result.
So powerfully did her flesh inhale the
perfume that her linen was scented with
it almost as strongly as though the ex-
tract had been sprinklcd thereon.
She was highly delighted at the dis
covery, and for time kept the secret to
herself, using the knowledge to increase
her attractivcacss. But one day the
trick was discovered by her maid, and
soon it was in general use.
Ladies of the grande monde next took
it up, and now the needle point syringe
is necessary part of every toilet outfit.
The most curious effects are produced
by the habit. Some ladies keep them
selves rcdolent of one perfume, while
others vary the flavor according to occa.
sion.
One grandc dame, for instance, is
saturated with roses at dinner, with
iasmin at the opera and with violcts at
the ball. Unfortunately the habit is
attended with considerable peril, chiefly
in the form of blood poisoning from i'm
pure extracts, while some of the extracts
are themselves essentially poisonous.
No deaths have yet occurred, but
several ladies have been made seriously
ill, and medical authorities are consider
ing whether the State may not properly
prohibit the fashion by legislation.

THE ULTIMATE.

|
When. Of old, a chief died in the North.
Then they wrapt him close in fighting-drcss
Laid hisfaithful weapons him beside.
And. with stern and silent tenderness.
Ina boat wide-bosomed on the tide
Placed his death-eold body, pushed him forth
Thence to drift ut will of wind and fate
Till at last he found tine Ultimate
Amply weaponed SO, with courage grim,
Prone along my death-boat like to him
iwould day-lons rock and roam and wsi-
For subtle turn o tide and sea,
For gust o. wind to break and blow
Love and land and life away from me.
Fsvoring, until glide and go
Past each bouin and billow boundary
\ To the waters lying round my fat,
To the MINDLESS, unoarei Ultimate.

HOW TO WRITTEN THE HANDS.

were her hands, and adds that when she
was in trouble they looked very pathetic

They can be white, though, and there Is
very good way to make them so. Wash
;hcm every night in very hot water,
using good soap and giving them Il
thorough bath; then, having dried them
gently on soft towel, rub olive oil
lightly over them and put on pair of
gloves. Continue this for two weeks,
after which the hot bath alone ought to
keep them white. BY the by, have jar

recent Boston horse show was entered to
jump seven feet for $500 cup. The

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals intcrfered and stopped his efforts.
MIR. Rowland, anxious to prove that his
horse could accomplish the talk invited
about $50 friends to the Washington
(Del.) Riding Academy to see the effort
made. Ontario was ridden by his usual
rider, james Freyling, weighing with
saddle and bride, 159 pounds, who rode
him in Chicago, where he made six feet
ten and tbree-quartcr inches, and at Bos-
ton.
The jumping commenced Mt four feet
six, and the bar was raised four inches at
a time until seven feet was reached.
Ontario up to this height never made
n mistake, clearing the respective heights
without difficulty on the first effort.
When the bar was raised to seven feet

Davis, of the Court of Claims; Colonel
Carpenter, U. s. A. Commander Mt Fort
Myers; Count Sala, of the French Lega-
ton; Sevclon Brown, Chief Clerk of tho
State Department, and Nelson Brown, of
Philadelphia, were called in to measure
the jump, and pronounced it full seven
feet. At the first effort Ontario got over,
but pulled off the top bar. At the Sec
ond, with superb jump, he cleared tho
whole, and landed safely on the other
side. III
The excitement was intense, for g JUNK
had been made never equalcd by any
