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 The License of Novelists. 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. m m m : 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.” Quaint.ami Curious.

D.^ after nineteen years of ceaseless labor and an ex penditure of about 84000,000, the Chinese government finished the wonderful porcelain tower at Nan kin, which stood for nearly four and a quarter centuries, until 1856, the most marvelous building ever erected by human hands. It was of. octagonal .form, 260 feet in height, with nine stories, each hav ing a cornice and gallery without 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 ner being provided with trbell va rying in weight from 300 to 1,000 pounds.. ... There were-152 bells in all, each • so nicely balanced as to rook back and forth as they were swayed by the breezes, giving out a continual strain of beautiful but. weird mu sic. Ranged in rows between the bells were 119 brass, bronze and Bilver lamps, which were lighted every night in the year-.

The immense tower in the center of the building is 120 feet high, with a balcony aronnd the top. The balls are constructed en tirely of marble and alabaster, all the rooms are finished in mahoga ny, rosewood and walnut; the fire places are all carved marbles of antique designs. The exact cost of this palace is not known, bat it has never been estimated at less than 89,000,000.

When persons are sick they wish more than aught else a restoration of health. They are willing to take even nauseous medicine in or der to get'well. With many, how ever, a first consideration is wheth er the medicine is perfectly -.safe. Will or will it not leave any evil after-effects? Now, there is one remedy known to be certainly safe, It is a botanical discovery, and it is called Botanic Blood - Balm, or B. B. B. It will not harm the most delicate constitution, nor will a discontinuance cause a craving for its further use: It is a sure ante dote for poison in the blood.
