To Make French women T,lIer.

Word comes from Paris that the
fair P3risiennes are consumed by a
desire TO rival their Anglo-Saxon sis
ters in stature and a Paris doctor
has come TO the rescue with science.
tio has elaborated an ingenious pro-
cess by which the joints of the ankles
aud knees are to be daily operated
on with an electric bulb. He says that
the osseous matter at the sections Of
the joints will thereby be expanded
and the growth OF the bones stimu-
lated. The bulb is also to be applied
to the spine.
The Decor says he can prove by
successes obtained on patients who
have ALREADY been heightened that
he can add two-ffths of an inch a
month during six months operating.
After six months the continual treat
ment is stopped temporarily and is
resumed later If necessary. The
patients should be young and supple,
otherwise the effects of stretching
their joints might be grave.
Whatever truth there is in the doc
tors assertions IL is certain that he
will be besieged.-L London Correspond
ence New York Sun.

The Duadly Mauyaca snoIse.

A tragic story comes from Tron-
cones, Misantia, in the state of Vera
Cruz, of a horseback excursion, in
which one of the party was fatally bit
ten by a snake known as mauyaca.
The victim, T. Gregorio Flores Fog
liza, accompanied by party of friends,
had been passing the day in the coun-
try, and was returning to Troncones.
In riding through some underground
which reached well up to the horses
sides, the beast ridden by Mr.. Flores
Foglia sprang suddenly into the air
and then stood STILL trembling violent
Iy. His companions, seeing from the
riders face that something was wrong,
started to go to him, but their horses
refused to approach showing abso-
lutte terror. Meanwhile Mr.. Flores y
Foglia, who seemed unable to speak
fell from his horse, making signs to
his friends in the direction of some
thing in the underOrush, where to
their horror they saw an enormous
snake making off through the bushes.
The injured man, who had lost his
speech, communicated to his compan-
ions that at the moment their horses
refused to approach the snake was still
wound about his leg having just bit
ten him. He was removed to his home,
but in spite of everything that could
be done for his relief he died a few
hours later. Mexican Herald.

For Stains ON AInrhIe.

In the treatment Of stains much de-
pends on what has caused them. Mar
bic is one of the most difficult sub
stances to deal with when removing
stains Even the weakest acid will
attack the marble and should not be
employed except in the hands OF an
expert, says the Ladies Home journal.
The following treatment will remove
many kinds Of stain from marble; Dis
solve half a pint sal soda in one pint
of boiling water; stir into this half a
pint Of Qdicklime and enough whiting
or fuller's earth to make a paste like
thick cream. Spread this on the mar
bic and let it remain two days or long
er. Scrape off and wash clean If all
the spots are not removed this treat
ment may be repeated until the mar
BILE Isl quite clean.

A short Lived Yacht.

An instance OF the rapid passing of
a racing yachts ucafulness is that Of
the grand old Defender, the 1895 cup
racer. 1t cost fully 100000 to build
her-not to run her; just TO put her
ahoat ready for racing. Those who
designed the yacht thought that a
bronze hull with aluminium topsides
would slide through the water with
greater celebrity than any other COM
bination Of metals that could be de-
vsed for n hull They so informs d
the syndicate that ordered her. But,
they added, aluminium and bronze
make a poor combination, and in
course of time the aluminium will rot
where It joins the bronze, and the De-
fender will be useless. But what
mattered that? She was to be built
to defend the cup; after she had de-
Tended it she might rot or not as she
pleased,-Frank Leslie's Popular

ONES character is what he really is. It is his
true measure. Ones reputation is what people
think he u.s. what he assumes to be. A re-
putation is the measure, not of the man to whom
it is ascribed but of the individuals who credit him
with it. narrow, petty mind cannot appreciate a
grand noble character. Only great souls ap-
preciate great truths and it is detrment to the
truth that some do not value it.
Character is that which is evolved from within.
Reputation is that which is put on. The man of
real character guards and defends the truth per
He sacrifices self and all selfish interests for the
sake of the truth, while the man who is concerned
about his reputation is always sacrificing the truth
for the sake of his reputation. The man who is
earnestly seeking to develop noble character will
endeavor by all honorable means to be fit medium
through which the truth may manifest ITSELF
The person of genuine character is true teacher.
The true teacher must be absolutely unconcerned
to his character The worlds great teachers never
ask, What will the world think, what will it say?
All men and women of true character have earned
the right to sit in the high places of knowledge and
wisdom, and the world always bows at the feet Of
true teacher. Character stands the test of time-it
wears; not only does it wear, but it endures the
closest investigation.
The man of character is not concerned much
about people believing in him crediting him with
this that but he is exceedingly anxious that he
may be worthy of the most sacred trust and con-
fdence; that he may be, and not merely to be-
good and true,
Development of character should be the highest
aim in life and all experience and opportunities
should be utilized in that direction..-M L. Morrow

Fiction at times may be, and often is, soucre
of pleasure. It has the power of forming many de-
ightful objects in imagination which are beauti-
full, sublime and even wonderful And for short
periods the mind may rest these with delight
which may be enjoyed, to considerable extent
But when fiction ceases to be an imagination only,
it becomes sort of grief
AS fiction is merely fancy, history is far supe-
rior for it treats with the actual state of things
It gives us record of what has been and affords
the of knowing that which may yet to
pass. It is a simple record of ordinary facts that
happen in the world from time. It deals with men,
their doings in all places and times But this is not
ALL It aquaints us in a very extensive manner with
the affairs and actions of nations and most distant
ages. Society from the highest to the lowest is
shown to Nothing is omitted that tends to in
fuence the happiness of mankind
History is the most powerful means in the forma-
ton of character and development of the mind
While the labor of reading history is far greater
than fiction, the benefit derived therefrom will CON-
pensate the time that careful study of it may
require of US.
