F;llisiib-th Ulackwell, who graduated as
physician In 1849. Three yeara later
there were six In Philadelphia, In Vt'J
there were 3,000 women doctors in the
United Htatea, In IMS there were 4,555,
anil now there are probably (,000 some
of whom have a very lucrative prac
tice. This Is what King Leopold thinks of
ui: "American women" said the king,
"are beautiful even more they are
statuesque. AU writers who visit the
L'nlted Slates are unanimous In prais
ing the beauty of Americans, and when
the women of a nation are beautiful It
means a great dearTor the race. Then,
too, they are Intelligent, and head and
heart ar.- well balanced."
"While all the world and her sister Is

clamoring to save." Mrs. Kelly always
did know how to make a point.
It Is, or should be, every girl's desire
even ambition, to be as useful as she
can be to her mother In the household
affairs.' Ileal usefulness does not con
sist In doing only what one Is asked to
do, but In anticipating things to the

Confessions of
Cigarette Fiend
What the Inhaling of Smoke Does
To The Humau
System
A writer In an exchange relates the
confessions of a cigarette smoker as fol
lows:
It Is no exaggeration to say that this
new htbit of Inhaling the smoke of
cigarettes a habit which has only
come Into vogue during the last few
year. nd which in the next few will
lnelt:ibly tell a great tale upon the
menial and tidily capacity of the na
tionmore quickly obtains a- strong
hold upon those who give way to it
than any other habit which has fop-its
object the gratification of the senses
In one way or another. ' -.
Of some hundreds of men whom I
have known to have contracted the hab
it of cigarette smoke Inhaling, I have
only ?.ird of two who have been suc
cessful In shaking it off.
Inha'lng consists simply in drawing a
volmro of smoke from the clgaivtte in
to the mouth, and then taking a deep
breath,-in :he act of which the smoke
la ciuiied frtvn the mouth down Into
tho lunjs.

'stantaneous communication to the
brain, which takes the form, of mo
fnentary cmt-paralysls w hen a man Is
new to the habit, that is.
I remember very well the experience
of a youngafrr of eighteen on his be
Ing taught to Inhale the smoke of a
cigarette for the first time. One after
noon some friends persuaded him to
make the attempt, and he did so. Al
most upon the Instant he fell full length
upon the floor In a dead faint; his fea
tures became pallid, his pulse faint
and Irregular; and those about him
were for a time In a great f'lght. He
came round, of course, A day or two
later he tried to Inhale again, with a
result not quite so bad; and he went on
trying till now he Is a'verltable slave
to the habit. Thle over-powering feel
ing of falntness is experienced on al
most every occasion a first attempt at
Inhaling Is made, showing how strong
Is the effect upon the nerves which
have never been put to such a trial be
fore. From this the deduction Is In
evitable that there must be serious per
mpnent Injury,
When the fever for Inhaling Is upon
a man the ordinary enjoymet of life Is
ruined. '
Every meal is an Irritation after the
first few moments, because smoking is
prevented thereby. The Parisians lat

A DINNER NOVELTY
which to a considerable extent "caught
on." Right in '.he middle of the dinner
they serve a Russian cigarette, Just
big enough to afford halfta dozen deep
Inhaling breaths and satisfy the long
ing which at this stage la becoming
acute. This curious custom waa in
vented entirely in the interests of the
victims of whom I am speaking.
In the majority of cases tr results
of such excess are pliable In the ex
treme, metally and physically. In the
first place, a constani and severe ner
vousness hangs over the victim. He is
In a continual state of lethargy which
he cannot overcome. His mental pow
ers are very coni,iderably dulled, and
his capacity for wark is greatly re
uuced. The puli's becomes Irregular,
the heart Is weakened, the appetite is
greatly diminished, and the hollow
cheek and sunken eye are palpable in
dications that something la seriously
wrong. This description of the physi
cal effect is not mine: It Is given by one
of the most eminent physicians of the
day. The victim, moreover, becomes
very susceptible to lung trouble of all
sorts.
