not be blamed if his stock runs out and

Already, in our own times. straw mats

PARIS HAS NEW CRAZE.

Now that the possession of Titian-red

ian ladies have ceased to dye their
tresses TO the required shade. But an
other craze has arisen. and today the
one consuming desire of the petite Par
iSienne" is TO add a few inches to her
stature. For years she has been trying
to do this by means of high heels and
those artful little contrivances known as
''tllonnettes," which when placed inside
her dainty shoes give her the benefit of
an extra Centimeter. Now, thanks to
the clever discovery of fashionable
boulevard doctor, there is some hope Of
the diminutive fair one realizing her am
bition.
BY means of an ingenious process by
which the joints of the ankles and knees
are daily operated upon with an electric
bulb. the oSse0uS matter at the sections
Of the joints is expanded and the growth
of the bones stimulated. the consequence
being thar the limbs are materially
heightened. The doctor also applies the
bulb to the spine, and he says he is able
10 prove by satisfactory results already
obtained on patients whom he has
Heightened, that he can add cent?
meter (two-ffths of an inchl per month
during a period of six months Il. G.. two
and a half inches) to the height of any
one submitting to his treatment. After
six months continual treatment the EEK
pansion' IS stopped for a time and re-
sumed later if necessary.
OF course, the patient must be young
and supple, otherwise grave consequences
might follow the stretching of the Joints.
II is hardly necessary to add that the
consulting rooms of the clever inventor
are daily besieged by fair but dumpy
ladies, and that the discoverer Of this
new aid to beauty is by way Of amassing
a rapid fortune.-London Daily Mail.

Mrs. Maybrick First Sang holy
City"

The author Of the Holy City was
Stephen Adams, or more properly Charles
Maybrick, for Adams was only his nom
de plume as a song writer. He was q
brother of Richard Maybrck, the hus-
band of Florence Maybrick, who was
sentenced for life in an English prison
for the alleged murder of her husband by
poison. The Holy City" was written
III 1891, and now comes the straugest
part of the sad incident.
The first time the beautiful compost
ton was ever rendered was by Mrs.
Florence Maybrick. who was on an ex-
cursion steamer with a party of her hus-
bands friends. She possessed a rich and
soulful voice and her singing of the song
was the beginning of its popularity. The
irony of fate condemned her to penal
servitude, although thousands Of earnest
American women who believed her limo
cent have for years made every effort to
have her pardoned, but without avail.
Several times rumors of her release
nave been sent out but SO far as known
she is still in solitary confinement. One
wonders if she ever sings the Holy
City in her dismal solitude Does she
know that the marvel Of religious senti-
ment as expressed in music has been
sung and played around the world over
and over again; the song which she first
gave expression when she was young
and beautiful wife and honored woman
For nearly eight years after it was writ
ten the Holy City was not heard in
