Salt as a Dissipation.
Illustrated American.
m
Salt, the least harmful of all
condiments, if such a necessary ar
ticle of diet can be termed a con
diment, is by the'medical profes
sion recognized as a species of.dis-
sipation in its'excessive use among
many women. Every one knows
how flat and flavorless all food be
comes when the system is slightly
deranged. It is just then that men
resort to bitters and burning-
sauces to tone up the jaded appe
tites, that women find their sole re
course in the apparently innooent
salt cruet.
It is the old story of giving an
« .. ; . inch to yield an ell, and before the
victim knows it, her palate de-
mands.a double or triple quantity
of the mineral to savor every mor
sel she eats. Some go so far as to
salt not only the substantial dishes,
but tea, coffee, fruit, nuts, sweet
meats and wine. They begin by

g a pinch extra now and then,
ue their tastes, and before
iteal a’ hit' to keep in the
pocket, or buy a crystal to nibble
on the sly. Nature’s revenge on
her weak daughter is as insidious
as the insult her immutable laws
have suffered. She flies her first
signal of distress in a deadening
of the skin, replacing the pink
ow of health by a dim, yellowish
allor.

: Lips and cheeks blanch alike,
this change being .accompanied by
a deepening of every shadow on
the face. This is as nothing how
ever, to the destruction this mor
bid habit works on a woman’s
. . crowning glory, her hair. And it
- is astonishing how . sensitive the
. hair itf to every fluctuation of one’s
health. Soon, each time the comb
passes through, it brings great
handfuls of long, shining strands.
No lotion or tonic is effective in
checking the loss, and unless cor
rected, the abnormal amount of
salt in the system will produce
partial baldness. Even now quite
a number of women are under
treatment, some avowedly and some
secretly, for this form of excess.
Concerning the license of novel
ists, the Saturday Eeview says:
“If a clever writer can reconcile it
to his interests and astistic con
science, we should allow him to at
tempt the feat of making impossi
bilities seem probable, and extrav
agancies appear real. He may
people a mad world of his own im
agining with demons and angels
sharply divided. He may intro
duce the spiritual or supernatural
machinery, which seldom works
very smoothly, even when put to
gather by a Bulwer—the story of
‘The Haunted and the Haunters’
is an exception—and which is ex
ceedingly likely to break down.
But of pourse he must hazard all
at his own risk, and with the bet
ting very heavily in favor of; seeing
his clever novel cast aside. Ex
travagances are one thing and ab
surdities another, and we are not
speaking of those simply trashy
tissues of folly by lunatics withino
sort of literary .vocation, which
will not even serve the purpose of
soporifics to any girl of discretion
who is out of her teens. We think
the most permanently popular nov
els, those which have the classics
or favorites of successive genera
tions, although insnired by the
genius of a glowing imagination,
will be found to be those which
have kept most closely to actuali
ties and hold up the mirror to ver
itable persons.”

erected by human hands. It was

height, with nine stories, each hav

The name of Porcelain tower was
applied to this unique structure
on account of the fact that the
whole of the outside work was cov
ered with porcelain slabs of various
sizes and^colors, but principally of
red, white, yellow and green. At
every one of its nine stories the
projecting roof of the gallery was
covered with green tiles, each cor

pounds.. ...
