A New York Woman Artist Accompanies

Miss Fannie Elkins, New York ar.
fist, follows a unique line of art which
has won her Worlds Fair medal and
diploma, awarded for accuracy, detail
and beauty" Miss Elkins makes ana
tomical drawings for physicians and
surgeons who require such in deliver
ing lectures or in illustrating medical
books. To the outsider the work at
once carries grewsome suggestions. I'm
doubtedly it is an odd occupation for
woman to choose. Miss Elkins, so far
as can be discovered, is the only Amerl-
can woman who has succeeded in MAX
ing distinct profession of such
drawing. Once within her studio the
idea of grewsomeness is almost lost.
The room is pleasant square one, with
a big window overlooking Fourteenth
street and admitting a strong light to
the table beneath. There are few of
the manifold decorations and hangings
which usually appear in studios, but the
drawings, framed in oak and gilt upon
the wall-part of her Worlds Fair ex-
hibit--are not at all alarming. Among
these the human eye, much magnifiel,
is represented under several aspects,
gazing out from circular mats of white
board.

Zone morning I crawled down to the
office feeling utterly done up and list
lessly examined my correspondence.
Among 1t l noted one from an old
friend who was practicing as physi-
clan in Paris. Tossing the rest Of the
letters to the managing clerk began
to read my friends long letter. Sud-
denly paragraph in 1t seemed to stand
before my eyes as If written in fire. 1t
ran thus:
"'You will, know be keenly inter-
ested In a marvellous discovery that DR..
Luys of this city has just made He is
our great authority on brain diseases

other kindred subjects.
He has established beyond any
doubt that it is possible to remove the
decisions of an insane person-previ-
ously hypnoti2ed-b means of thin
magnetized steel band worn around the
patients forehead for about week.
This is sufficiently marvellous, but Is
nothing to the fact that II sane

paper in my hand, l reveled in the ex-

me. My brain, preternaturally excited,
in a few moments planned the whole
scheme. Violently ringing my bell, l
informed the clerk who came hurrying
in that l had to go to Paris at once on
urgent business. I told him to ask
Sir Edward to meet me at the office
in four days time to finish the settle
ment, and l started at once for London
en- route for Paris.
Fatigue was gone. Once more alert
and active, felt as If treading on air.
On the journey l rehearsed and re-
hearsed the scheme I had planned out
until l thought it perfect. at once, on
arrival, fastened to my friends house
and pretended that I had not received
his letter. After breakfast he took me
to Dr. Luys' clinic, and there I saw
that the powers he laid claim to were
indeed his. Selecting the neediest-
looking Of his assistants I gently
touched him and drew him aside In

BITS OF MUsINo THOUGHT.

Society is continually surging with
the conflict Of dollars and sense.
Fishermen will dream of fish lying
about them, but in reality it's the other
way.
The more a man looks at the purchase
of a lawn mower the less the mower
seems to be.
No man can learn to play cornet
and teach Christianity in the same
neighborhood.
There is one consolation with the new
woman craze-the coming chaperon
will be man.
The fisherman who lies in wait for
a trout and finally gets 1t, is apt to lie
In weight for many moons.
The corn crop is very successful In
the west, nevertheless chiropodists
make no complaint about the east.

Tho Deadly Nlghtshado.

The nightshade (Hyoscyamus niger)
Is frequently found growing In great
profusion about old gardens and In
plowed fields which are not cultivated
to any great extent after the early part
of the season. In gardens and fields
where much hoeing Is done 1t Is not
usually seen, and this fact suggests
means Of practically DISCRIMINATING 1t.
1t is q low-growing, branching plant of
rapid growth. During late summer 1t
bears profusion Of black berries,
which are likely to attract the atten-
ton Of children, and very often we hear
Of death from their having eaten them,
The stramonium is q weed found grow
Ing almost everywhere at the north,
and presume at the south as we'll. 1t
Is plant having coarse, ovate leaves,
thick stalks, and large, tubular white
flowers borne on short peduncles In the
forks of the branches. These flowers
are produced throughout the season. It
is popularity known as "jimson weed"
probably a corruption Of jamestown
weed, as there is story extant in old
chronicles that several soldiers who had
been sent to help quell the Baker rebel
lion at Jamestown were poisoned by
eating salad made from young shoots
of this plant, which they found grow
ing plentifully in the vicinity Of the

Paris with my revenge carefully
packed in small box. On arrival at
my house slept for twelve hours, a
thing had not done for weeks, and
awoke ready to carry my scheme
through.
THE following morning was
closeted with Berkeley for some time,
porting over deeds of title and old,
musty documents. I purposely de-
layed, in order to fatigue him. Pres
emily I saw the tell-tale contraction Of
his face, and I knew he was mine.
Leaning across the table, I said
"T had intended, Sir Edward, half
running myself in giving you a we'd
ding present; but 1 have altered my
mind-I will cure your neuralgia in
stead
'Whatp said he, eagerly; I'D give
anything if you could; it's the only
cross have to bear
"Well, I'll cure you on one condi-
ton
Name it'll do anything
"'That you give me your solemn
word of honor not to disclose to any
one the method of cure
All right; only cure me-
We'll, I'll tell you, first, why you
have had to promise. You must know
that this office-that is, myself-ls the
repository Of half the secrets Of the
town. This Is because everyone thinks
1 am a model for solid common sense.
Now, If you blurted out that I had ad-
vised you to use a half-spiritualistic,
half-quackish remedy, why, my reputa-
ton as an embodiment of practical
sense would be gone. l used myself to
suffer from headaches, and do now, for
that matter, and had tried every
remedy that the doctors could suggest.
At last was persuaded to try a spirit
ualist, to whom l went at night. He
gave me thin band to wear whenever
I had headache, and he said it would
relieve 1t if due to overwork, or cure IL
II due to neuralgia. 1t was to be worn
for eight days constantly, and, to en-
able you to do it, l suggest that we both
take a weeks holiday and go to some
small fishing village and try the treat
ment.'

heart for his answer.

Topping Corn.

The practice Of topping corn is quite
common in all parts Of the country,
but a series Of tests made at the differ
emit experiment stations show that the
work is seldom profitable, and that the
loss to the corn is not made up by the
fodder secured. At the Mississippi
station the plan has been followed dur
ing three years, the tops being re-
moved after the corn had become we'll
glazed, and in every case the yield Of
corn has shown a marked decrease,
for which the value Of the tops did not
compensate. The average loss in the
total feeding value has been more than
20 per cent, which is somewhat larger
than the usual loss from such work in
the north, as the tops are worth less
here than there. The records Of seven
other stations where similar work has
been done show the average yield Of
the fields which were topped to have
been 6S.3 bushels per acre, while the
untouched check plots averaged 81.3
bushels, a loss Of 16 per cent from top
