On one occasion when the artist Parker
had been painting portrait of Charles
Sumner, Whittier came to Chestnut
street and said to Mrs. Sargent:
Friend Elizabeth, wilt thee go with
me TO see Friend Parker's picture Of
Charles?'
Il should be very glad to- she an
swered.
"Wilt thee go this morning." he asked,
and upon her asserting they set off for
the studio. When they arrived they ex-
amined the portrait Of Sumner, but
Whittier seemed to Mrs Sargent TO be
preoccupied and to be in haste TO call
her attention to something else. In a
moment he said:
Friend Parker, where is the other?-
The artist turned around an easel, and
there was a portrait of Whittier himself.
The poet was as pleased as a boy at Mrs
Sargent's surprise, and as she had not
even known Of his sitting she was natu-
rally not a little astOnished. He was like
a genial comrade in his fun, and, al
though he was naturally grave and Sc
date, there was in him a most beautiful
and genial humor and sweetness, like the
color and perfume Of the mayfower
under the grayness Of the leaves in the
spring.-Arlo Bates in Chicago Tribune.

Among the Babines, who dwell TO the
north of the Columbia river, a large IN
der lip is regarded as q type Of beauty.
A small incision Is made IN the hp dur
ing infancy and a fragrant Of bone in
serted. This is replaced from time 10
time BY larger and larger fragments,
each operation being attended with Sc
we're pain. and at length pieces Of wood
measuring not less than three inches in
length and an inch and a half in width,
are inserted, causing the lip to protrude
10 a frightful extent a similar custom
exists among the Paraguay Indians, and
the labnets worn by the BOtOcudos are
inserted in a slit made in the lower lip.
A Botocudo has been noticed to take
a knife and cut a piece Of meat on it and
tumble hemeat into his mouth Among
the Hydahs Queen Charlotte islands, 1t
Is considered a mark Of the lowest breed

youth. inexperience and general ignO-
rance. pointing, were further proof
necessary, 10 the inferior size Of her lip.
This lip Of beauty is not, however, pc
culiar to these aborigines, but is CON-
mon among some Of the African tribes.
The Berrys, for instance, who inhabit
Sanbriat, a tributary Of the Nile, insert
in the lower lip a piece Of crystal an
inch in length. The Bougo women in a
similar way extend the lower lip hOri-
zontally til it projects far beyond the
upper. The mutilation of both lips is
observed among the women Of Kadje,
in Segseg, between Lake Tsad and the
Brooklyn Eagle.

An army OF mlscreants misuse nyp-
notism 10 obtain money from their VIC

third parties, but seldom lose their
power over their dupes, on account Of
the mesmerized condition Of the latter.
Lower still IN the depths Of sin are
those who call themselves massage
magnetizers," " massage hypnotists," or
those who advertise .'electric baths, 7"
massage baths, magnetic baths and
magnetic treatment" There Is no rea-
son for their existence, unless it be in a
correctional or penal institution. Last
" there are the artists, professors or
fazirs, who give public exhibitions Of
the hypnotic process. Some Of these are
honest and upright, Others are unscrupu-
lous and mercenary wretches.
All Of them, however, are TO be care
fully avoided by sensible people. They
are TO be avoided even more by young
boys and girls than by grown folks. If
any one desires to see the marvels Of
hypnotism, let him or her 90 to their

some other member Of that noble profes-

Anglo-Indiaa Words.

Colonel Yule, the editor Of Marco
Polo, has published, with John Murray,
Of London, glossary of Anglo-Indian
cOlloquial words. In this work, along
with well known loan words from re-
mote oriental tongues, we are surprised
to meet "Just the cheese, +" derived from
chiz, meaning ''thing;" also, Don't care
a DAMN" derived from dam, small
copper coin and equivalent for ''brass
farthing." Candy" sugar comes from
khanda, and means "broken" sugar.
''Chicane" and "chicanery" are derived
through French usage from chaugan,
hOrsegolf, or what we call polo. a game
which has reached Us for the second
time since it was imported into Europe
from the east before the Middle Ages.
Demijohn is not from French dame
jeanne, but the town Of Dannaghan, in
Persia. Turban is a corruption Of dul-
band, a Persian word for head wrap.

On one occasion a big shark came
alongside me where was working. /
stopped. of course, and stepped back qui-
etly TO let him pass But ne did not.
He came nearer. / then thought he
was curious. but soon found that an
other feeling than curiosity was moving
him. As refreated he still advanced,
until found myself janmed up against
the rock. I could retreat no farther,
and vet the brute came on determinedly.
But instead of approaching me with his
long nose-for you don't see his jaws
ne turned his side and began TO rub up
against me. l had a small Jumper. in
my hand, which / held with the point
outward against his skin, as l did not
wish to have his rough skin scoring
along my dress.
II was something like what a COW
would be rubbing against You. The
iron on his skin was, however, the very
thing he wanted, as he soon gave me to
understand. was kept there at least
half an hour scratching that monster
with the sharp iron. He took it ike a
pig, bending his body and turning over
on his side so as to present a fresh sur
face TO the jumper. l suppose he must
have felt easier for the operation, for
after time he moved away.
l had one OF two further visits from
him on following days, on each Of which
! was obliged TO scratch him for time.
l think he must have recognized me as
q kindly and effectual scratcher. l i'm
agine he was suffering from some para
sitical or skin disease, to which he may
have fallen victim. Otherwise might
be in that scratching billet stin.-"A
