LIE m THE EATING"
The doctors are dumbfounded, the
drugsists astonished. and the people
excited and Joyful over the wonderful
cures and tremendous sales OF the
great Remedy, st. Jacobs OIL. Every
case Of Rheumatism-some OF many
years. standing-has given way to
this powerful remedy. Thousands OF
certificates like the following can be
furnished as to its value:-
George scleyer. Publisher OF tho
Chiffon, Wis, "volksbote." used st.
Jacobs Oil for almost unbearabls
pains In the back. which had com
pletely Frustrated him." A few appli-
cations cured him entirely.
Mrs. Fred Eberle. Bellaire. o., was

Rheumatism. st. Jacobs Oil instantly
relieved and entirely cured her.

cial debut. Among the Papuans they
are tattooed all over the body, but the
face Is reserved to finish of on the
wedding day.
Curious scar tattooing is practiced
by some negroes The effect is hid
eous enough to satisfy the most ar.
dent votary Of fashion.
It is usual among Africans to dlo
the teeth to sharp points. to snap on
certain teeth and to make 1ntorstices
in all four front teeth large enough
to hold a sizable toothpick.
There are two singular mutilatiOns
which are not commonly known. The
Tinginane women of the Philippines
wear sort of plated fiber sheath.
ornamented with beads, on the fore
arm. This strongly congresses the
muscles, and being put on when they
are little girls, prevents the develop
ment of the forearm and causes the
wrist and hand to swell in manner
which is considered quite beautiful.
The idea is similar to the Carlb
| fashion of fastening stout band
about the ankle and just below the
knee of each girl cnild. This is nev.
er removed, with the result that the
muscles of the calf swell out enor-
mously. while the bound parts remain
hardly thicker than the bone.
| The custom of changing the shape
| of the head is of venerable antiquity
and seems never to have produced
any evil effects upon the health or the
| intellect Among the Indian tribes OF
| the Northwest where the custom is
practiced, the babies, swathed in
spruce bark, have cedar bark cush'
ions bound on their heads so as to
exert pressure enough to lengthen the
soft skull 1t is easy to imagine the
motherly and grandmotherly anxiety
that each succeeding head should
take on the required elegance OF
shape.
The Chinese custom of footbinding
with its attendant evils, is too vel
known to need comment, says writ
er in the New York Sun. In its seri
Gus injury to health this fashion is

organs out of their natural position
and to consider the result graceful
and elegant, while the gentle savage
rays her tribute to fashion with her
ears, nose lips, teeth and skin.
Perhaps at the very head OF the hst
of fashionable mutilators is the haolt
Of boring holes in the lips, nose ana
ears in which to display ornaments.
The ear is obviously the most tempt
ing member for this purpose, and
surprisingly large and heavy objects
which stretch the lobe out OF all nat
ural shape are joy to the savage
heart About twenty-five years ago
highly civilized women wore such
long and heavy earrings that the lobe
was often torn quite through. Never
theless. she who had fine jewels to
1 display, with true savage fortituoe,
] calmly had her ears pierced in new
place.
The variety in ear decoration Is
prodigious, but the woman OF the
Queen Charlotte islands justly may be
said to be a creator of style, as she
wears three large hanks of yarn drawn
through holes in her ears and last
ened with shell clamp.
Next in favor among savage ladies
is the fashion of piercing the lips,
and by inserting bone. quartz, ivory
or wooden cylinders of gradually In
creasing size of extending them to
lhideous proportions. Sometimes it is
the upper lip, sometimes the Ss">>'
sometimes both.
Often the lower lip is fsfther en-
hanced with long polished quartz
cone. The Carib women thrust
long piece of bone through hole in
the lower lip, which 1t is proper to
waggle with the tongue in what is no
doubt considered very fascinating
manner.
IA The nose is :. favorite place from
which to hang ornaments, generally
rings, large and small. The civilized
woman Of Hindustan wears dainty
little jeweled studs in each nostril
which are regarded as quite fascinat
ing.
Perhaps the oldest instance OF this
kind of adornment Is furnished bA
the African lady, whose lips, nose ane
ears are delicately fringed with inch
long straws thrust through tiny holes
DR., Schweinfurth makes the state
