ARE pEFoRMITIEs OUTGRowN7
Not Without Some Aid By Artificial
Means.


There is a matter of common observa-
ton that the "bow-legs" and knock
knees of young children become ap-
parently straighter as age advances,
even when no assistance is given to
them. Perhaps it is due to these facts,
or possibly to species of self-delusion,
that mothers so often believe that their
children viii outgrow many slowly in
creasing deformities, which are con-
sequently neglected, to the children's
further hurt.
Certain deforities, when arrested, viii
apparently grow less or disappear as
the growth of the child increases, until
Is adult age is reached they may cease
to be noticeable. But even though the
ideal OF symmetry be a comparatively
low one, a deformity of any moment
must be treated early if the body is To
be brought up TO the average standard.
The child, like the tree. must be taken
in hand early if any natural distortion
is to be corrected.
Potts disease, curvature of the spine
due to an Inflammation of the joints
causing decay of the bones of the spinal
column, and hip disease, due toa SINH
lar condition of the hip joint, are among
the deformities which require treat
ment at the earliest possible moment.
"Postural deformities," so called. in
GLIDING bow-legs, knock-knees, fat
chests, round backs, "shackle" or loose
joints and weak feet, are among those
for which most can be done by surgeons
and parents. On the other hand. such
deformities will be increased il the weak
parts are subjected to strain. Thus at
titudes producing fatigue atweak spots,
attitudes induced or encouraged by
uncomfortable seats or by defects of
eyesight are common causes OF q want
of physical symmetry.
Newly-acquired postrrral deformi-
ties yield in most cases TO simple means
which a mother or nurse is capable of
APPLYING; but the first evidence OF any
disease of the bones or joints, such as q
limp, dragging of one foot, or a curva- |
ture of the spine should receive i'm !
mediate attention at the hands of sur |
geon.
In general, it may be said that de- |
fornities do not tend to correct them |
selves. Nature exerts herself in other |
directions. However. corrective force. |
though itself very slight, If rightly ap- /
piled, may entirely do away with the /
deforInity, or at least aid largely r
Iessening it.-Youth's Companion.

The man showed some nerve upon his

London Barber Sl.oysS.

An interesting feature Of the east end
barber shops is the rack CT pigeonholes
filed with shaving mugs, each bearing,
usually in German text, the name Of
the owner. The shaving mug is evident
ly esteemed valuable advertising me-
dium, for many mug bears, in ad1i-
ton to the owners name, some emblem
of his business. The undertaken puts on
his mug the picture CT a richly appoint
ed hearse, with ali the proper trappings
of woe. The butcher dccorates his mug
with shoulders of mItton, pigs heads
and linked sausages. The dentist dis
plays the traditional double VOW Of an
noyingly perfect teeth. The freman's
mug bears the illuminated picture OF a
fire engine.
Vain and handsome men adoril their
cups with photographs of themselves.
Others place beneath their names some
inscription-a sentiment from the poets
or an old German rhyme Of good
cheer. a child's photograph occasion
ally appears on q shaving mug, and
now and then coat Of arms is en-
blazoned above the owners name, for
coats Of arms are as abundant in the
east end as elsewhere in town. Some
times it is national coat of arms, Ger

MADE a BAD "SlTTER,"
Trouble OF Artists With tho Princess Of
Wales In Her Youth.

Wales In Her Youth
When the Princess Of Wales was q
young bride, she was constantly in re-
quest for sittings to portrait painters,
sculptors and photographers. She was
not, however, good "sitter, and used
to pout when compelled to endure the
tediousncss Of sitting in studio. Mr..
Firth, the painter, was engaged to paint
q picture of the prince and princess, and
he gives a pleasant glimpse of his tribu-
la.;o2s with the Princess Alexandra.
The princess, says Mr.. Firth, WAS
very young and very beautiful, as all
the world knows. She graciously con-
sented to come to NY house and to af-
ford ne every assistance in the way of
sittinGs for my picture.
The princess is also well known for
her kindness of heart. Oh, how that
heart woald have ached if its owner
had realized the aching of mine when
I-too soon-discovered that the iliustri-
or: young lady Gid not know that keep
ing her face in one position for q few
minutes even was necessary to enable
an artist to catch q resemblance Of it!
The first sitting can ever forget? I
did rot dare 70 complain till after two
or three fruitless attempts. With down
right failpre staring me in the face, I
opened my heart to tic Prince of Wales.
"You should scold her." said the
prince.
Just at this time the princess was sit
ting for her bust TO the celebrated sculp.
tor Gibson, F. a, in a loom at Marl-
borough House. I was sent for by the
prince, and before was admitted to an
interview I was shown into the sculp-
tors studio, and found him waiting for
sitting from the princess. The bust
was already in al advanced stage. Ibid
not think it was very like, and in reply
to Gibson I said SO.
"Well, you Sec" said Gibson, "the
princess is delightful lady, but she
can SIT {. hit. -
At that moment was summoned to
the prince, whom I found with the
princess, and l saw, or thought I saw, a
sort Of pretty. smiling pout, eloquent of
reproof and Of half anger with me- The
prince had something to show me-pho-
tographs, think--and then he led the
way to Gibson, the princess and I fol-
lowing
No sooner did we find ourselves in the
sculptor's presence than-afTer some re-
marks upon tie the bust-the prince
said:
How Go you find the princess sit,
Mr.. Gibson:''
"Now, thought I, eff ever man
was in an awkward fix you are, Mr..
Gibson, for after what you said to me a
few minutes ago you cannot in my pres
ence compliment the beautiful model on
her sitting.
The prince looked at Gibson, and
Gibson looked in dead silence at the
prince and then at the princess. Then
be looked again at the prince, smiled
and shook his head.
"There, you see, you sit properly nei-
ther to Mr. Gibson nor to MIR. Firth. >"
81 do, don' said the lady. lyon
are two bad nen.''
And then we all smiled, and Gibson
went on with his work, the princess
sitting admirably for the short time
that I remained.-Youth's Companion.

There is an industry in this State

There is an industry in this State
that is not being treated with ordi-
nary fairness by the State board OF
control. We speak of the brewery in
Charleston. That concern turns out
an article of beer far superior to the
kind being sold at the local dispen-
saries throughout the State, and yet a
brewery from another State is al
lowed almost monopoly. The
Georgia goods have been sold at the
dispensaries for sometime and the
quality does not begin TO compare
with the Germania beer manufac-
tured in Charleston. The patrons OF
the dispensary should not be forced
to buy goods that do not suit them,
and which do not give value for their
money; we unbesitatingly say the
Charleston goods is not only a better
grade, but it will keep better than the
beer so largely handled from Georgia.
We lave no interest in the matter of
where the State buys its goods, but
We do say, that if the State of South
Carolina will continue its charge of
the liquor and beer traffic, it should
also protect her home industries and
encourage them to compete with the
outside world. Just why the State
board of control will not purchase
from the Charleston brewery we do
not know, but the fact is, the Char
lesion goods cannot be found in the
dispensaries and many beer drinkers
nave often wondered why, they know
ing the goods to be far superior to
the slop, called beer now being
palmed off on the public The peo-
pie want home industries patronized.

ChpnD Labor,

People in general cannot understand
the doings of student OF nature. Es-
pecially quite ignorant persons are apt
to conclude, when told that the objects
of his search are fossils or minerals,
that under this explanation is concealed

treasure, for that is the only thing that
would induce them to dig. III. !. L.
Adams relates al amusing instance Of
this reasoning.
While excavatiEe a large cavern ca
the southern coast of Malt;: we had dug
trench in the soil on It's foor some six
feet in depth in quest OF organic re-
mains. The natives in the vicinity,
hearing of our presence, came i'll NUM-
bers daily to witness the proceedings,
interrogating the workmen with refer
erce to the object Of our researches, Of
which the workmen were about rs ig-
norant as themselves.
One afternoon th-ce stalwart fellows
paid rs visit, and while they So cn

dark ditch below dropped Spanish
dollar On a shovelfrl Of earth, and tie
next moment it lag with the soil ca
the heap. Picking it up in a careless
manner, I put it into our luncheon bag,
and few minutes afterward our friends
disappeared, muttering to one another
as they went.
Great was our amusement the next
morning to find that our trench had
been carried fully four feet below the
level we had gained on the previous
evening Not only that; several other
excellent sections of the fcor had E2cn

1t is reported that Senator Ragin
will aftel the adjournment of the
General Assembly tender bis resigna-
ton as Senator and accept the posi-
ton OF chief clerk in the Secretary OF
States Office. Ii this be true, the peo-
pie will have to cast about for new
Senator and consider whether it will
pay to undergo the expense of an
election for the unexpired term. These
elections are expensive and if it is
not compulsory we think it would be
well enough to let the unexpired term
go by default However, this will be
a matter for the people to consider.
Should they conclude to not want to

column signed Justice" contains
ideas worthy of more than a passing
thought and we hope that our law
makers will consider what he says.
His views on county government are
simple and of easy execution, and II
they We're enacted into law it would
do away with the clumsiness OF the
present machinery and shape things
so that our supervisor would be more
than 6gure-heaa and the members
