ARTISTS AMONG FURRIERs.
None But the Best Cutters IntrusteA WITH
Seal Garments.

Mono But the Best Cutters IntrusteA VIII
Seal Garments.
IF furs make grand ladies there VIII
be . great many grand ladies this
winter, for furs are the fashion. Every
woman 'just loves" furs but It is
doubtful If women know as little about
anything else as they DO about these
warm and beautiful things; that is,
ebout the way they are made up
The men and women who work for
furriers are known to the trade by
their work, just as an artists work il
known. And the work Is divided up
most carefully. The man that cuts
seal in the furrier's shop is at the top Of
the list He is finished workman and
can cut anything. Other men may be
able to cutother furs to good advantages
and artisticany. but they will not be
iutrusted with q piece Of seal. So it
Is with the seAwers. Some women earn
good wages sewing common furs, but
the boss would be apt to have an at
tack Of heart disease were he to see
bit OF seal in the hands of any but a
regular seal sewer.
The seal sewers are the artists among
fur garment makers. They make the
finest end mosn regular stitches. And
.ach one has some popularity Of style
that stamps her work so that il Is
recognized wherever 1t Is seen by one
of the craft. Whenever an old seal gar
ment is taken to a furrier to be made
over the seal sewers examine the
stitches and comment on the work.
"I'll bet that's some of Mrs. So-and-so's
work." they say, and then they relate
some anecdote abolt the woman.
There used to be seal sewer IN
Brooklyn who was known as the best.
She has been dead several years, but
some of her work was recognized the
other day in a Pittsburgh shop where
an old sacque had been taken for re-
making. This finest seal sewer suffered
like other geniuses, and she died as SO
many who have reached the top Of the
heap In other fields have died. She
drank herself to death. She never
worked steadily, but whenever she was
"at herself" she was given work and the
furriers of New York would coTupete
for her services. Her work to-day is
held up as a model for an seal sewers

The Latest Cure for Obesity Set Forth -
London Paper.
Corpulence is a subject concerning
which the average doctor has many
questions to answer. Hardly a day
passes without the query: "Oh, doctor,
what shall do2 I am growing so
stout"
In reply to the oft-repeated question,
one says Carlsbad" another ride
Wheel" while the third suggests some
nauseous compound, or, perhaps, star
vation. The latter process is always
Il sure means of reducing corpulency.
Day after day elaborate accounts Of
new Treatments" for obesity are de-
tailed in both medical and lay journals.
Some of these are not without their good
points, while others are positively dan
gerous. At all events, the great major
ity of the "cures" requires such an
amount of persistence and self-denial
that the cases to which they prove bene-
fetal are not very numerous.
Messages and various movements,
when performed in systematic man
ner, have always been highly rated in
the treatment Of obesity. Sweden
(where the massage and the movement
cures originated) has been the home Of
the ''cures' for many years.
The London Graphic is responsible
FOR a report of the latest remedy for
corpulency. The remedy, which is sim
plicity itself, requires in the main that
the sufferer shall turn somersaults;
how many AID how often the Graphic's
report does not say.
The principle may be a good one. To
those. however. who contemplate an
early trial of the remedy It may be well
TO point ont an element of danger; that
IS. appendicitis, in the production OF
which this new treatment may be an
important factor. Several observers %
repute have called the attention of med
zeal men to the fact that people who in
dulge in Gymnastic exercises. such az
jumping. football, work upon the trap
eze or bar are particularly liable TO the
disease mentioned.-N. Y, Wcrld.

81 cannot form very accurate idea
Of the amount of gold used in gold leaf
and gold foil in this country" said a
manufacturer of this material, 'ebut it
Is a big quantity. Probably a dentist
could give you better idea than can.
Gold foil is used almost entirely by
dentists in filing teeth; gold leaf is
used in gliding, book binding and oper-
stions of that sort, besides the show
that is made of acres and acres of gilded
signs spread before the public in one
way and another.
"The quantity of gold used in gold
leaf is at least twice as great as that
used in foil, in spite Of the fact that the
leaf is so much thinner than the foil.
A skilled man can hammer out 20
ounces of gold foil in a day, while it will
take him a week to make two ounces
Of gold leaf, because it is SO much thin

by hand, probably always will be. A
single thickness Of gold foil such as
dantiets use-to the ordinary observer
that seems thin enough, in all con-
sc;ence-wi1 make an entire book OF
gold leaf"
"How much gold foil do the dentists
ase?" I inquired.
SWELL" he replied, 81 should think
that they use on an average about 50
cents worth of gold per cavity, as
teeth 60, Some are bigger, some are
smaller. This bottle" and he held up
g vial such as dentists keep their gold
in, "Lolds some four dollars worth of
foil, and that would make about eight
filings Of the average size"
If the average cavity bored out by
the industrious American dentist with
such extreme discomfort to the suffer
Ing patient contains so cents worth of
gold, how much gold do all the millions
of cavities 80 constructed employ?
In one way and another, 1t is probable
that something like 25,C00, 900 of the
great American peopl care running
around on their usual business with

When a somnambulist is put into the

ism, showing that the personality which
acts during ordinary somnambulism
and the personality brought into &C.
ton by hypnotism are the same. This
new personality has of late become q
subject Of great interest and persistent
study. Not only does it come into ac-
tivity in ordinary somnambulism and in
the hypnotic condition, but also in
dreams, in reverie, in abstraction, and
sometimes apparently in a normal pas
sive condition. This second personal
ity has been named the subconscious or
subliminal self, and it possesses many
curious faculties which we have no
time to consider here; but, whatever
this subliminal self may be, we hnve in
bypnotism the means of experimental
ly reaching and influencing it. and this
is where the great power Of suggestion
appears and is utilized.
Suppose, then, the physician has the
patient in the deep hypnotic sleep; the
patient hears nothing, perhaps feels
nothing. The physician then says to
hin: when You awake you will take
the book which lies ON the table, open
it at the forty-third page and read four
lines at the top of the page" He is
then awakened He has heard nothing,
but his subliminal self. which has been
made accessible by hypnotism, has
heard, and influences him to carry out
the suggestion. He goes TO the table
and takes up the book. finds the forty
third page, and he reads the four lines
at the top of the page. He has no
thought but that he Is doing it all OF
his own accord, and 90 he is-he is obey
ing the impulse of his own subliminal
self.
Suppose the patient to be a boy with
the cigarette habit. and the physician
had suggested as follows: "When you
awake you will no longer desire to
smoke. On the contrary, the very
thought of it will be disagreeable to
you, and you win avoid It altogether"
He wakes, he knows nothing Of what
has transpired, but he finds he has 10
longer the desire to smoke, and conse-
quently he ceases the practice.-North
