FAMOUS BEAUTIES.

Sappho is said by the Greek writors to have been a blond. Jezebel, the queen of Ahab, according to one of the rabbis, had "black eyes that wero set on fire of hell."

The Empress Anna of Russia was very portly, and tho fleshiness of her face greatly detracted from its good looks.

Margaret of Anjou had the typical face of a French beauty. She was black haired, black eyed and vivacious. Her features wore indicative of her strongth of character.

Pocahontas is described as having features as regular as those of a European woman. She is also said to have had a lighter complexion than usual among Indian women.

Theodora, the wife of the famous Justinian, was beautiful, crafty and unscrupulous. She is said to have been tall, dark and with "powers of conversation superior to any woman in the empire.''

Eternal vigilance is not only the price of liberty, but of pure politics and clean officials. We believe our press, as a whole, will still aid us in our efforts to grouse a civic pride which seems to be dormant in so many of our citizens.

May we not appoal for moral support to that largo class in our city who, following the common accepted title, are denominated the laboring classes? We have talked with many of their representative men on three or four occasions and have been met with a sympathetic interest. We are striving most earnestly for better government, in which they, with us, are interested.

They have spoken to us most earnest words against the election of weak and indifferent men. We are striving for proportional representation, through which they can have full representation, and when things for which they contend will have respectful hearing in a position of influence. The problems of the next century are to be more and more the problems of human brotherhood. We have not a common ancestry or a common religion, but are of many nations and many religions. We want to fuse all interests together under the mighty inspiration and purpose to have a city in which there shall be no slums to contaminate and destroy, but where schools and public institutions of every name shall be the best in all the world.

Has not the time fully come when, unless all our interests are to be imperiled, many must subordinate their business and their pleasures for tbe publie weal? And out of it will cornea purer and a better city and a nobler and higher standard of life.

As a league we recognize no sectarian creed in the public business, but we stand together for public righteousness and truth and upon the common platform of American citizenship. For the third time this league makes this declaration of its principles and enters upon another year of effort.

The lamented Bishop Brooks left the world this sentiment, "No man has come to true greatness who has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to his race." May we not add that ug man has come to true citizenship who* has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the state? ,•

Ni, oy the Aid of 1 A Caphy. (. ^ressive mysteries wh astri ^.esents to the student bapsV^jne is more fascinating than tli of the variable star. Why should one these distant orbs within a few sha weeks, perhaps within a few days, pe ceptibly wane and wax in brillianc when compared with a neighbor of sim ilar but permanent brightness?

In one particular class of stars—thost of the type to which Algol belongs—it is now believed that the fluctuation results from a partial eclipse, an adjacent

concluded as follows: I sphere, perhaps entirely dark, rotating

with the brighter one around a common center. But this explanation does not appear to fit many cases, and so far as the majority of these curious objects is concerned the problem is still unsolved.

The variability of a considerable number of stars was first detected by means of photography, and some rather surprising discoveries of this kind have very recently been reported by Professor S. L. Bailey, in charge of the Harvard station at Arequipa, Peru. Here and there, scattered through the heavens, there are certain misty patches which are resolved by a good telescope into clusters of distinct stars. Sometimes these groups are globular in general form and contain hundreds, even thousands, of separate bodies. Very few variables have ever been detected in these aggregations hitherto, but now Professor Bailey finds in comparing photographs of the same region taken in succession that a certain cluster in the constellation of Serpens and designated as No. 5 in Mossier's list contains no less tin.u 46 variables, and iliat another in Can. "Wnat^ci (!Ues\s-r contains 87. TL ItioC of these two groups contains ab: .{ 750 iars altogether, and the latter i.na a b. jut 1,000.

Professor E. C. Pickering, direct x- of Harvard's asironomical work, an Mrs. Fleming, one of his experts in Cambridge, have boih examined the plates from which Professor Bailey derived his conclusions and have verified the observations. As yet no attempt has been made to determine accurately the period in Which each of these stars passes from one maximum to another. Special observation is necessary for that purpose. But the degree of variation, so far as noted, amounts to half a magnitude in some instances and to ab.mt two magnitudes in others.—New York Tribune.

Here we have the bayonet, but it was a very awkward weapon till, instead of being screwed into the barrel of the musket and thus impeding the firing of the piece, it was found that it was possible to attach the bayonet outside the barrel by means of a ring and a spring, leaving the piece free to be discharged at any time.

We see iu the British army regulations for 1685 in the exercise for grenadiers, "Draw your dagger, screw it into the muzzle of your firelock, recover your arms, charge!"

The English are said to have thought it not quite fair in the first action when the improved bayonets were used against them. There seemed something uncanny in their adversaries, the French, having fixed bayonets and without stopping to unscrew these delivering their fire.—Gentleman's Magazine.

Plants In a Trance.

A curious exhibit is in the Mechanics' fair. It is nothing more or less than a display of "mummified" plants. It requires a label to inform the people that they are dead, for the plants appear exactly as if alive and growing. They are not made of wax or of cloth, but are genuine plants that have grown in the oarth until they have reached a good state of development, when, by their being treated to a certain injection, the growth is arrested. Then comes the strange part, for the plants so treated do not droop and die. The leaves remain fresh and bright, and the plant stands erect. It is, moreover, impervious to heat and cold, and nothing Eeems able to destroy its strange repose.

Tbe most striking part of the exhibit is a collection of large palms used for decorating. These plants are noted for being very tender and susceptible to almost every influence. Those on exhibition have been dead for six months, yet not even when the leaves are carefully examined would the fact be suspected. The exhibit promises to create much interest among visitors to the fair, as the many advantages of having plants thus impervious to all conditions can be
