Blonds In HfMurjr. It is certain that blond, long beaded men once played a great roi? in history, for It was they who colonized Galatia and brought home the treasures of Greece and Italy to Toulouse, xvlio' overthrew the Roman empire in tli< l west and won England from the BritOliß. It is equally certain that this pliysleal type was once mm !> more dominant ami widely distributed than it Is now and that it is tending to die out. This is especially true of that pronounced form of blonds which is dis-j imguisued by i.d L«ll'. lied haired: persons do not now constitute the majority In any known tribo or nation. j but one authority sets forth grounds, for thinking that red bair was once much more prevalent. It must have occurred, for Instance, among the Brahmans, since they were forbidden by the laws of Menu to marry red hatrod women. There is no : doubt thot blonds ami red haired per- I sons are still encountered about tlie Hindoo Kush, among the tribes from whom the Brahmans are supposed to have been immigrants. But obedience I to the law mentioned would, ir. the course of time, annlbilote the leideucy to their reproduction. The Cre.l44 They «lve You.

THE JOKE AS A POWER. It la Rapidly Becoming Mightier Thun the Pen. Men who fear nothing else shrink from a joke upon themselves. Soldiers who do not flinch before opposing guns dread to be made ridiculous. Woe to the national hero who makes one trifling mistake which may subject him to clever caricature! His meritorious career is henceforth shadowed by one colored illustration. A comic paper will tip the scales of justice, snatch the victor’s prize from his extended palm and rob the orator of choicest laurels. A brilliant satire will mar the fortunes of the greatest statesman, a laugh will turn the tide of a political convention. Indeed the joke is fast becoming mightier than the pen. The orator has learned its value, and even the clergyman resorts to it when he desires to stir the flagging interest of his flock. It furnishes sufficient excuse for the impertinence of children, and in its name the daily papers deride the highest national dignitaries. What is the meaning of its steady growth in power and what results may we predict from its humorous tyranny? is there a chance that our keen relish for fun may finally produce a kind of humorous dyspepsia resulting from everindulgence, unless with epicurean discrimination we demand quality, not quantity, and stubbornly refuse to swallow other than that which should appease a wholesome, nay cultivated appetite in jokes?—Caroline Tleknor in Atlantic. Trifle* as Irritant*. Wo are so constituted that what Is occurring at the moment interests us often out of all proportion to its importance. For example, we are thrown off our balance by the merest trifles perhaps which occur today, but which in a week's time may have no significance whatever. Obstacles which seem like mountains when we meet them dwindle away to molehills when we get away from them. Even what seems tragedy at the moment in the future may be the most innocent comedy. Most of us arc so constituted that we will make almost any sacrifice for present peace. It would seem easier to have an arm or a leg amputated two years hence than to lose a finger today! It Is human nature to shrink from pain, and we purchase release at almost any cost. If we could only train the mind to look at today's trouble nnd annoyance from the standpoint of the future, it would be much easier to bear. Success. L».k<d 1.. With a Mantee. The writer was once closeted with a patient whom he hnd no suspicion of being mad until the latter got out of bed, turned the key of the door and preferred c mild request to the writer to have his throat cut, handing him at the same time an open pocketknife, which be produced from underneath bls pillow. I objected to the knife ns being too small for the purpose and begged to be allowed to go for my case of amputating knives, with which, 1 explained, the operation could be performed with greater neatness and dispatch. He unlocked the door nt once, binding me over to secrecy nnd urging me to lose no time in returning. 1 drove home, reported the case to the authorities nnd came back with assistance, lie was secured with great difficulty and sent.to the asylum.-London TitBits.

arranged with the most exquisite art and regularity. Every group of leaves forms merely long lines—some short and each one different—no two alike, no two in the same position, yet all so perfect and harmoniously blended that there can be no antagonism, no sameness and all those thousands and thousands of strange and delicate forms grouped together, neither contused nor ill arranged. A Famous Portrait Painter’s Opinion. The famous artist Von Leubach had one great dominant principle—that out of nature one should grasp and bold fast but one thing in portraiture, the head; that this exponent of the soul must stand out in undisturbed unity; that accessories of whatever kind, whether dress or form, must distract and weaken the Impression that the head should produce; that a portrait to attain ts highest aim and significance must look out from a background of nothingness and must be shorn of every detail that Interferes with this unity of purpose —Cosmopolitan.
