A specialist in nervous diseases was re-
turning to town few days ago. says an
exchange. from a professional visit to
neighboring city. when he saw what he
calls "a splendid specimen of the manner
in which some mothers unconsciously
drive their children into sanitariums"
Across the aisle of the railroad car was a
woman who had with her a little girl
about six years old. On entering the car
she seated the little one with jar that
must have made its teeth rattle. Then
AT intervals of one or two minutes during
the weary journey she paid the child
these maternal attentions: She took off
her hat she smOothed her hair. she put
the hat on again. she removed the childs
Strengthened her collar. she wiped her
face with her handkerchief, she removed
an imaginary cinder from her eye. she
smoothed her hair again, she took off and
retied the ribbon on her hair. she stood
her up and smoothed her down. she un-
fastened the bow at her neck and retied it,
The poor child, evidently accustomed to
this Notwithstanding attention. accepted
the situation with pathetic and silent en-
durance. Before Chicago was reached the
little one was utterly worn out and
stepped from the car in the most woe
begone fashion. The doctor could not re-
frain from giving some words of advice
to the mother. wko was astounded to
hear from the famous man that she was
taking the very best possible way to ruin

How to Grow Tall.

A curious craze has developed in France.
where the women have concluded that
they are not as tall as they ought TO be.
Some handsome American and English
women of stately proportions as to aIti-
tude have been prominent there of late,
and Nine. de Paris has gazed on them
with envy Now comes forward a French
professor who claims to have a process
by which he can supply the demand for
increased stature. even though the sub
iect may have reached maturity He
treats the ankles, knees, and spine cleo
trically. claiming that the osseOus mat
ter at the joints is thereby expanded and
the growth OF the bones stimulated. He
claims he can add two-tifthS of an inch
per month during six months treatment
The professor has a large number of

THE LATEST COMPLEXION.
Delicate Work of Sutherland Mac
donald, the TatOOist


What may be called an indelibIe COM
plexion is now at the disposal of such
women as have hitherto deplored the lack
of color in their cheeks. Enamel and
rouge, be they laid on never so deity,
are things of few hours only, but the
new discovery means a permanent glow
of color warranted to wash just like any
other piece of tattooed epidermis. For
the indelible complexion is the work of a
clever tattooist. Sutherland Macdonald,
who for many years practiced his deli
cate art in London. PerSonageS whose
names are of international celebrity have
been decorated by Mr.. Macdonald, getting
their arms and chests blazoned with an

regimental flags, and scores OF other de-
vices. Not few women OF note have
been his Clients" but these generally
contented themselves with tiny butter
fly on the shoulder or some equally small
design on the arm.
Not long ago he was visited by rich
young American woman, who was then IN
the whirl of an arduous social season, and
found that artificial color was becoming
more and more of a necessity to her
cheeks. She had become tired OF rouge
and suggested to Mr.. Macdonald that he
try his hand at producing nice, healthy
glow that would be a permanent addition
to her other charms of mind and person
The tattooist for moment was stagger-
ed at the suggestion. but readily saw that
if il could be carried out large addition to
his income was sure to result. He there
fore asked the lady to return in a week.
Meantime, he experimental on such por-
tons of his own skin as had not yet been
used in that way, and when the fair
American returned he was able to assure
her of his ability to produce the exact
tint desired.
The lady gave him several ''sittings'
her society friends meantime having been
given to understand that she had gone to
the Continent for a short visit. The ex-
pertinent was a success beyond eypecta-
ton, and of course the artiticiaIly beau
titled was unable to keep the secret She
told a close friend, who passed it along
and at latest accounts Mr.. Macdonald's
time was being taken up largely in pro-
ducing indelible compilations.

Ten years ago Mrs. Catharine L. Wy

and one day she said to them: Girls.

result was the formation of class made

their friends. all about fourteen years of

or two each day for the next few weeks,

of the pupils could trim and even make

THE WOMAN MARKHAM KNEW.
AnecdOte of the Author of ''The Man
With the Hoe"

Edwin Markham, some years before he
gained THE Man With the Hoe reputa-
ton, was visiting some friends in the
East His hostess, trying TO find some
bond by way of mutual friendship, kept
asking the distinguished thinker if he
knew Mrs Smith, or Mrs. Brown, or
Mrs. Jones, and spent almost a half an
hour going through the list of San Fran
ciscos 400" Markham said he was ig-
norant of their existence, and was not
well posted in the society news but, he
irrelevantly remarked. he knew Mrs. Mary
Ann Burke, the poor old lead pencil
peddler, who was always to be found at
the foot of Cherry Hill, seated on the
pavement there. she had Just been adj
mitted into the worlShouse the last l

and humanity and pity for a class of I'M
