A BEAUTY DOCTOR.

There is (eayß the '• New York World") a woman m New York v ho has a growing clientele of patients coming to her to bo treated for ugliness They miy be m perf ct health physically, but not quite at peace m their minds because of defects wbich rer.der them un^lea&iog m the eyes of tr>eir fel'ow mortals, and she ministers to this mind diseased by curing as far as is possible tho comp'oJnt of plainness Woccen co to her to bo made thinner or stouter, to have their oolor heightened or reduced, to be treatrd for ugly oom plexions, red eyes, thin hair, round ' shoulders, and all 'he physical faults which make the difference between b autyand the lack of it To women who are too stout she recommends a bath of salt water id the morning, two or three handfuls of rock salt being put In the bath overnight und allowed to disso ye. They must be rubbed down with a heavy Turkish towel after this salt bath, and are to sleep on hard beds, while the only internal treat mentsbe prescribes is congress- water and a grain or two of masted coffee to be chewed half an-hour before meals, which will greatly lessen the appetite for food. She | suggests a diet of cresses, lettuce, and spinach, with desserts of Iceland mopß jellies. Thin women ehe feeds on carrots and parsnips, and doses them with a few drops of acid phosphate before meals to Rive them an appetite for the muffins, brown bread, oatmeal, and fruit that are to foim tba greatrr part of their diet. But what she principally relies upon to a-id flesh to thin girls is a p'ntof sweet milk to be drunk every night just bef re getting in'o bed Bb© orders off the coreets of ronnd shouldered girls, aid puts them into braces instead, with daily exercises on a pulling machine to help on the good work ; while awkward and heavy girlu are given a bar over which they are to jump many timeß every d*y. When a woma > has become too florid, fhe is fed on PBBsafras tea and given hot batt>B ; and the pale wormn has her baths cold and a bottle of claret each day. Ihe •* beauty doctor," as she ia called, has effected some wonderful cures of plainness, and m Beveral cases has taken entire charge of a woman for six months, witti the result that at tho end cf that time her friends scarcely knew her, «o greatly had her appearance ohanged There is talk of an infirmary or private hospital being established near New York, of which the temty doctor is to have charge, and whero women will go, toundergo thorough treatment for ugliness This female beauty cultivator Is very stern and dictatorial, and will immediately give up a eiae if her directions are not followed to the letter. She has great hopes of her hospital, where her patrons will be directly under her eyes and she can see that her ideas are carried out. She holds that there Is no exonse for thorough ugliness, and that It can be to a great extent made a matter of will with a woman whether ■he will be pretty and pleasing or not,

IN THE LION'S MOUTH.

A painful sensation was caused by an alarming occurrenos m Mr Dan Lowry'n Music Hall, Dublin, on the night of August 3, when Mdlle; Senide, the lady lion tamer, was bitten by one of her animals, and sustained severe Injuries to the face and neck. Mdlle. Senide, who for some weeks pout has been exhibiting a troupe of wild animals, was taking her benefit. One of tbe feats she was m the habit of undertaking was placing her bead within the mouth of one of the lions and retaioini? it there for some time, Sho had hitherto accomplished the feat without accident, and she got through it success fully daring her performance on the night m question When the entertainment was over, however, 'and the audenca had gone, a photographer waß m attendance to take views of her aa she appeared m her performance. Two sat sfactory groups or portraits, it is stated by a. correspondence, were taken, MdUe. Benide then expressed ft desire that a photograph lhould be taken ■bowing her with her head m the mouth of a lioness. She seized the animal's jaw?, drew them apart, and thrust her head Into its mouth. Home delay occurred m getting ready tha m»gneslum light, pre paratory to taking the picture, Mdlle. Senide, who had had her head m the lion'i month for a period of two or three minutes, cried oat ; ." Axe yoa ready 1 Be quick " The assistant while endea- TouriDg to light the magnesium wire, said " Walt » moment " The lioness, whether Irritated by a voice within its throat, m consequence of the tension npon the maeoles of its javr, or alarmed by the ■ ■udden fl-sh of light, closed its month npon Mdlle. Setrido'a head. Fortunately the lady waa able to withdraw her head ; bat her right cheek was caught by the 'teeth of the lioness above the mouth and torn completely open, ths oat extending down the ohln. The animal a'so placed Its paw upon her shoulder and Inflicted an ngly scratch along the upper part of the ohesl. Mr Carl Beckmsnn, the keeper of (he anlmtls, immediately sprang into the o«ge and conveyed Mddle Senide, who was m a fainting condition, from it. The lady's face was bathed with water, and restoratives were applied. A medical man stitohed the wouada upon Mdlle. Senlde'a face and ohln, the patient refus ing to go nnder ohloroform daring the operation. The lioness exhibited no anger, and afisr the occurrence, orouched down m the oorner of the oage. The next afternoon It was stated that the Injarlea sustained by Mdlle, Senide were not so ■erlous »■ at first thought. A. l usk of the lioness passed through the lady's lip, and ■be sustained a nasty scratch from the animal's paws en the breast, Mdlle Senide also received a severe shook to the ■yitem, bat she sent word by her manager that she would appear that night %t the Star Music Hall, and go through her per formance with the lions, tigers, and bears. The proprietor, however, declined to allow her to exhibit, as she had not com pletely reoovered. Mdlle. Senide, when asked a short time ago by a Dublin gentle man If she had ever been attacked by her pets, said : " Ob, there is seldom a month, passes without my being bitten by one or other of them, but still I never feel the slightest fear of any serious result. Once, Ihbl January, I did appre. hend getting the worßO of it m an en Cuonter which I had with my large lioness, Cora, at Limoges. She absolutely refused to work, and on my chast'sing her she made one bound .at me, catching we by the throat with one paw and by the leg with the other. My position was critical, 88 I could not even lift my whip I remained motionless for a couple cf xnlnuteß, staring B'eadily at my aggressor, who at last let go her fearful grip, and retired with a howl. I seized my oppor tunity and hastily withdrew severely lacerated. Although I was Borne what shaken 1 wee able to resume work about a moDth afterwards." Her medical attendants (Drs Fry and Coule) held a consultation, after which they stated that they con sidered their patient was getting on very well- Speaking causes Mdlle. Senide much paio, and she cpinmunicates with her attendants by writing. She was- very knxious to know whether the wounds on her tbroat would leave a disfiguring mark, and ehe was evidently much pleased ou her medical attendants answering her m the negative.

VINDICATING JACOB.

Mien Von Finkelstein, a native of Pal esline, who is leolnring just now to crowded aadlencss In Wellington on eastern life and customs, past and present, vlnd oatis Jacob, the Bun of hate, from the charge of being a thoroughly bad, unscrupulous, unfaithful, and unjast man, taking her ground upoi her intimato knowledge of the manners and customs of the descendants of the people amun^ whom he lived. That purchase of his brother Esau's " birthright" foe a " rneoß of pottage" has by very many people been oonsldered a damning p oof of Jaoub'e moral obliquity, but Misi Von Flnkelsteln explains th.U it wae a perfectly prop, r bargiln. This particular mosi of poltage, she eaj^f, was a diah of staved red lent!) beano, only partaken of on the ocoasir v of death m the family. It was the du'y oi the eldea.t ion m th> family to fait entirely upo:i the day when tb!a dish was prepared. Bat Esau, coming i- form the chase, and being a mau of more than ordinary salf-wlll, refused to fast and oondnot the usual re'igious cerem ml« s observed on that day. Hit brother Jaoob remonstrated w'th him, and reminded him of hiß dnty, but Ksau heedei him not. Then Jacob n strict accord ance with the custom of hia people, said he would ohange plaoes with him — Eaau could tako up his life m the field, and he, Jacob, would undertake the management of the religious duties of tho family. This was, and is to-day, a common occurrence In the Eaer. It appears that Esau was agree able to this, and ate of the pottage, Jacob taking by this aot his brother's birthright. Although this action h«,s been severely oritlolard by scepticj and others as being an unworthy act, yet It was a oaual omtona and porfeotly legitimate.

EUROPEAN HARVEST PROSPECTS

Harvest proßpeota on the Continent of Furope have not improved (aaya the " Home News" of August 24 ,h), on the whole. In France fine weather has come too late for the wheat orop, which has been nearly all gathered m, and It ia now certain that the yield will be very defi clrnt. Acoordiog to tlw '"MwoutUle den Hallea et Marches," the prodaoo is not llkuly to be much above that of 1879, and It la roughly estimated at the equivalent of 27,400,000 qr. cr 10,300,000 qr, less than last year's crop. Ia Germany, where unsettled weather continued until the beginning of last week, the wheat orop is ao far from satisfactory that " Dornbusch " aaya it Is almost certain that considerable importation wlil be necessary. Nearly all the wheat has been secured In Auslria- Hangary, the yield, according to the authority juat named, belnc eatima'ed at 16,000,000 qc, against 18,400,000 q-. for last year. Sp!end?d crops m iloumania have baen seriously iijured by storms of rain and fl )ode, and lv South Knasla wet weather has greatly troubled ths harves ters It has been the samu m Swl ziv land until recently ; bat a favorable ohaage has brightened prospects, and the orops are being got up m good condition. In Italy the Minister of Agricultu'e esti mates the wheat orop at 12,800,000- qrs., ot at 20 per cent less ihsn average.

WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR My object m writing is two-fold j to express my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a \ i short story which cannot fail to interest the feelings of many others. It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells the. honest truth about himself he is all the < more likely to be of use to his fellow-creatures. ' To begin, then, you must know I had long < been more or less subject to attacks of bron« chitis, a complaint that you are aware is very common and troublesome m Great Britain m certain seasons of the year. Some months ago I had a very severe turn of it, worse, I think, than I ever had before. It was probably I brought on by catching cold, as we all are apt to when we least expect it. Weeks passed by, 1 and my trouble proved to be very obstinate. It would not yield to medicine, and as I also ] began to have violent racking pains m my limbs and back, I became greatly alarmed. I could neither eat nor sleep. If I had been a , feeble, sicky. man, I should have thought less strangely of it ; but as, on the contrary, I was hearty and robusts I feared some new and terrible thing had got hold of me, which might make strength of no avail against it. I say, that was the way I thought. Presently I could not even lie down for the 1 pain all over my body. I asked my doctor what he thought- of my condition, and he frankly said, 'lam sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse I " This so frightened my friends, as well as myself, that they said " Thomas, you must go 'to tlw Hospital', it may he your only chance for ifc I " But 1 didn't want to go to the hospital. Who does, when he tVinks he can possibly get along without it ? I am a laboring man, with a large family depending on me for support, and I might almost as well be m my grave as to be laid on my back m a hospital unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows how long. Right at this point I had a thought flash across my mind like a stream of sunshine m a cloudy day. I had heard and read about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I resolved, before consenting to be taken to the hospital, I would try that well-known remedy. On this I gave up the doctor's medicine and began taking the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result J I had taken but three doses within twenty-four hours when I was seized with a fit of coughing, and threw up the phlegm and mucus off my chest by the mouthful. The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continuing with the Syrup, the raoking pain, which I believe came from and joints, soon left me entirely, and I the bitter and poisonous humours m my blood felt like going to sleep, and I did sleep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, wiMi a natural appetite, and as I ate I soon got strong and well. 1 felt I could leap through the air with delight In a week I was able to go to my work again. It doesn't seem possible, yet it is true, and the neighbours know it. And, therefore when I say I preach the good news of the great power!! of Seigel's Syrup to cure pain and disease far ajid widef nobody will wonder at me.
