Beauty's Doctor.
the men

1t is difficult not to sympathze with
the luckless women who, lured into the
expenditure of their money by the prom
ises of beauty specialist, find them
selves at the end of his treatment as
they were before. il they are so fortunate
as to escape without added blemishes
resulting from his manipulations and
lotions. This desire for amendment OF
their natural features is based on the
instinct that urges them to make them
selves attractive to their fellow men and
women, highly commendable ambi-
ton with which no person will quarrel.
Their mistake is only as to the method
to be employed.
The family doctor, with his tireeome
talk of exercise, cold baths, no rich
food, plenty OF sleep, makes a poor
showing in competition with the shrewd
and sympathetic beauty builder who
does not bother about the patients
stomach, but promises to remove the
signs of disordered organs by cutting
here or sopping on lotion there. The
one who asks and follows advice of the
physician strives for the same objects
that the specialists patron seeks, but
no one would call her foolish. Why
should the other be laughed at? Every
one would like to be handsome, distin-
g,ished in form and feature; men shame
lessly pad their coat shoulders, wear

Robert Marshall was born in Edinburgh

would be impracticable. Neither son
of King CHRISTIAN Of Denmark nor a
member of any other royal family would
be likely to accept throne which not
only King OSCAR but Emperor WILLIAM
should persistently refuse to recognize.
Then, again, il Sweden could rely on
the cooperation of the German fleet,
it is obvious that every Norwegian harbor
could be sealed up and the whole OF
Norways merchant navy could be swept
from the ocean. 1t would be, in word
quite as useless for Norway to attempt
to resist Sweden. backed by Germany
to-day, as it was for her in 1914 to resist
Sweden backed by Russia.
A solution of the problem might, in
deed, be suggested at Christiania that
would have chance OF being viewed with
favor at Berlin though it might be re-
pudiated at Stockholm. Both Norway
and Sweden might enter the German
federative empire as separate constitu-
ent States, on the autonomous footing
occupied by tho kingdoms of Bavaria,
Saxony and Wtrtemberg. The Swedes,
however, have too splendid history to
contemplate without some disrelish the
prospect of even partial absorption
in the country of which GUsTAvus
ApoLPHUs, had he lived, might have
become the Emperor, and a fragment
of which, Swedish Pomerania, was for
centuries ruled from Stockholm.
BY farsighted Russians an intimate
alliance between Germany and Sweden,
such as for many years has existed be-
tween Germany and Austria, would be
looked upon as a calamity. Already
pushed back by the Japanese from the
Pacific, and probably to be cut off from
the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean by
an Anglo-Japanese combination, Rus
sia would thenceforward see herself
barred no less inexorably from access
to the North Sea. There would be left
to her only the desperate chance of Sc
curing Constantinople, for the attain
ment of which goal the circumstances
were more propitious in the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries than they seem
likely to be in the twentieth.

ART AND THE QUAKER CITY.
VIII Philadelphia Accept Fat Marble
Figures From MppIncOtt"

PHILADELPHIA, July l4.-ln the garden OF
the old yellow Mansion" at Broad and
Walnut streets there used to be a lot OF
statuary. j. Dundas Lippincotts father
brought 1t over from Italy to adorn the
walks when he took his bride there. When
]. Dundas Lippincott died recently he left
all the marble figures to Paramount Park.
The Park Commissioners took look at
them to-day. They decided they were
sad sight, and not real art. All the figures
were fat, and Commissioner James Pollock,
who would be shocked ut even naked truth,
protested that none had enough clothes on
them. 1t was shown that Hebe had her
nose of, Pygmalion had scandalous
costume, and Galatea even a worse one.
Besides, an accident to Galatea's left eye
made her look as though she were winking,
and made the whole tableaus appear like
a fit subject for a raid.
Mayor Weaver seemed to think that it
was shame to refuse the gifts when they
had~been offered.
Never look gift horse in the mouth,
said the Mayor 1t ia not good taste to
refuse present. Think how it must pain
the giver. There must be many obscure
spots in the park to which these figures
would be an ornament.
1t was finally decided to talk the matter
over again. The statues were sold to old
Mr.. Lippincott us real art, but it is said that
this was an error.
