A SALARY FOR BEING A LADY.


The Amir of Cabul has evinced at
least one sign of originality. Flying
in the face of tradition he has chosen
Miss Hamilton of London to figure in
the capacity simply of an accomplished
Englishwoman for the benefit of the
ladies of the harem. The Amir feels
the advantage he possesses in the OPP
portunity of knowing English gentle
men, and he wishes the ladies' of his
court to have the opportunity ofknow-
ing an English lady. Miss Hamilton
sings, plays and paints, and will be
able to teach the ladies to use the doz-
ems of kodaks which now lie idle in the
palace. She is also physician, and,
although she does not go in profess
sional capacity, hopes to find opportu-
mites of doing useful medical work.
Miss Hamilton is we'll known in Cal
cutta society, and her going has made
quite sensation there, as it is most
plucky thing for her to go quite alone.
1t involved fourteen days march from
Peshawur, under military escort pro-
vided by the Amir, who, of course, is
responsible for her safety. Fran

FASHION NOTES.

Low shoes of glace kid are worn.
Most all of the skirts are made with
RIFLES, to give them weight.
Large fancy gilt rings are appear
ing upon millinery novelties.
The height of elegance is shown in
the association of lace and jet.
The newest trimming used is the
embroidered Swiss aud tatting.
A decided union of black and yell
low is more popular this season than
last.
The shirred bow made of the same
material as the costume is much
used.
The India linen used in some of the
gowns is 80 fine that it looks like silk
muslin.
Pink linen waists with trimmings of
white linen lace insertion on the collar
ette, sleeves and belt, are stylish and
becoming.
Serge, which have been popular so
many years, has had its day, and CLOS
sy, satin-fnished cloth and tweeds are
in great demand.
Street suits of hair-striped or dot
ted pique have n gored skirt, open
jacket, and vest of white linen duck
cut double breasted.
An odd and novel combination is
that of pale blue with violet and also
with darker shades of purple; orange
with purple is also new effect.
The bodices are made sufficiently
below the waist line to prevent them
"from riding up" thing which
spoils the prettiest of round waists.
A peach tint of great richness is
seen in combination with both light

NEW COIFFURES.

The latest style of coiffure which
finds favor in Paris is long and mar
row. The hair may be arranged in n
coil or knot, as fancy dictates, TAX
ing care to adjust it at a becoming
point on the head, but il must be elon-
gated by an extra twist or two little
curls at the back, which may be added
for evening dress. The present mode of
waving the hair all over the head still
holds its popularity, but the front
parting, which has been such strug-
gle to obtain, is to disappear entirely.
The front hair is tressed lightly back,
pulled down in careless waves on the
forehead and arranged loosely at the
side, so it will droop slightly over the
ears in seemingly disorderly way,
which is perfectly tidy and very be-
coming to some faces. Every woman
who wishes to look her very best must
study the outline of her face aud shape
of her head in order to arrange her
hair becomingly, and skilfully modify
the prevailing style to display her
good points and soften the defective
ones. New York World.

Risks of Science.

In 1864 Tyndall performed the exper-
iment of separating light from heat.
In the course of the Investigations
which enabled him to do this he made
one of the most daring experiments
that ever scientific man ventured on.
Mr.. Jeans said: knowing "a layer OF
iodine placed before the eye intercept
ed the light, he determined to place
his own eye in the focus of strong in
visible rays. He knew that if in doing
SO the dark rays were absorbed in a
high degree by the humors of the eye
the albumen of the humors might Co
agulate; and, on the other hand, if
there was no high absorption, the rays
might strike upon the retina with a
force sufficient to destroy it. When he
first brought his eye, undefended, near
the dark focus, the heat on the part
surrounding the pupil was too intense
to be endured. He, therefore, made an
aperture in the plate of metal, and,
nlacing his eye behind this aperture,
he gradually approached the point OF
conyergence of the invisible rays
| First the pupil and next the retina
| were placed in the focus without any
| sef sible damage. Immediately after
| Yards sheet of platinum foil placed
lin the position which the retina had
occupied became redhot." - National

A Family Laxative.

Physicians are not inclined to recommend
Te If medication TO the laity. Yet there is
one need which they are almost unable to
supply. We refer to the ''family laxative"
The family physician is able to prescribe
for the most complicated and obscure of
maladies and yet is often puzzled to know
Just What to give when asked for a remedy
which can be kept in the house for family
use as laxative, that shall be effective,
free from danger, and not unpleasant to
take. When absent on our summer vaca-
ton we were asked by four differentparties,
representing as many families, what we
thought of the Syrup of Figs" Not one
word did we volunteer on the subject, and
we were somewhat surprised to find that
there was this small token of the very gen
eral use of that preparation. These parties
said they derived more benefit from it and
found it more pleasant to take than anything
of the kind they had ever used. The simple
question with them was, is il dangerous
compound! We informed them that its
active ingredient was preparation of SEN
ma, and that it was entirely free from dan
ger. With this assurance they volunteered
the information that they should continue
to keep it in the house
The therapeutical properties of SIENNA are
SO we'll known that comment on this seems
unnecessary. 1t might be well to notice
however, that Bartholow says it is "a very
safe and serviceable cathartic,n and that it
IS "highly priced as a remedy for constipa-
ton" He also makes the important obser-
walton that its use sis not followed by in
teStinal torpor and constipation"
The simple truth of the matter is, have
altogether too few preparations which we
can recommend to our families as effective
laxatives. But the California Fig Syrup
company has one of the most desirable com
binations for this purpose with which we
are familiar The Fig Syrup company gives
to the profession the composition of this
preparation, therefore there is no secret
about it; the persons who use this laxative
speak in the highestterms about it; and we
are pleased to notice that large number Of
physicians are prescribing it.
Viewed from the narrowest and most
selfish standpoint the physician will lose
nothing by recommending such prepare
ton as Syrup of Figs to his patients; while
viewed from the highest standpoint of do
ing the best possible by those who place
themselves in our care, we would say the
profession cannot do better than give their
Endorsement to such preparation,-Amer-
lean Analyst.
