GOOD LOOKING WOMEN.

WHERE THE BEAUTIFUL FEMALES OF THE WORLD ARE FOUND.

An Old Tr»*r1er Give* Hi* Resntt* of HI* Ob*err*tlon« During of Wiudertne »rer Many liTerent Countrle*—Dcnutiei of Sikh.

The St. Jams*' GazcM* And* that we live in the most beantiful age of the world. It strike® me, when come to regard this theme, pen in band, that to enumerate the plain women of the world would be an easier task than to reckon up the beauties. On th.it point an old traveler would speak without hesitation—if he kept his eyes on the civilized ntcw, at Iea_st, It might be difficult to compare the ugliness, respectively, of a female Bosjeuman and a Mosquito Indian squaw, for example. But he would pronounce at once that the Russian is the plainest woman he has seen in Europe—unless. indeed, the Greek of Greece should Ijc putleforeher—one rn».«t be careful not to say Greek unqualified, for in th« Islands and the Turkish ports, where some faint traces of Hellene blood survive, handsome women abound.

It becomes more and more the fashion for wealthy members of this, the true race, to keep a house in the capital, and Athens can show a galaxy of loveliness during the winter, no doubt. But I was a summer visitor for two months, and In that time I beheld but one face that could be termed even passable the girl proved to be Hungarian. It is not quite so bad as that In fit. Petersburg—where also I resided out of the season—because the czar was there, and very many ladies of the court have mixed blood

Butplainc in certainly not characteristic of Sla general. Polish women rank among tut most beautiful in Europe so, 1 have understood, do Czcchs, The Croats hold their own, and as for the Dalmatian Slavs, I have often felt inclined to declare that they have no rivals. In riling once from Cattaro to Cettinje, I found the lower stretches of that tremendous mountain road thronged with women and girls of the lowland—on pilgrimage perhaps.

It seemed to ine, struggling through the crush, that every young woman there was charming, and there were hundreds of them. A nad contrast are the Montenegrins, at the summit of that ladderlike road. The sex in Tchernagora bns many fiuo qualities, ami even virtues, 1 believe, but all of the masculine cast. In fact, those maids and matrons would pass for rather flue young men elsewhere—sufllclently «ood looking men, too, in a rough way, if they would only wash but, regarded from the feiiiinino point of view, they are Indescribable failures. If the Russian woman resembles a tame bear, the. Montenegrin Is a "grizzly" of the Rockies.

Further down that same most Interesting and delightful Adriatic coast, one learns that the Greek of Greece, who Is Albanian, of course, must not be regarded as representing his ethnic stock fairly in the matter of good looks. I have neve* visited the Ghoggho Albanians. That is an experience for which I long beyond all others to Imj obtained in Europe. But doubtless their women are superbly handsome, as travelers assert who have had better luck than I. For theirs is not case parallel with the Montenegrin they are riot savages, and ho one sex tears Its due proportion In beauty to the other.

I have seen something of the Tosk Albanian clans, however—a people Inferior to the (Hieggiies in every wqy, physically and Aii* u—«.y in OPS «re common among them line figures and hair, largo blue eyes, almost universal. I remember paying a visit to Ant ivari after the bombardment. Wandering about among the press of dirty Montenegrin soldiers and picturesque Albanians, I came upon a ruined mosque, whleh had Ihjch used, perhaps, as a hospital it was littered with rags and ulscellaneons effects.

A dozen youug girls, in their long blue house dress, were gathering these odds and ends together in a heap. They showed no alarm tu my appearance in the doorway, but pressed together and stood in a little throng, gravely staring. The action and the look had a eurious resemblance to the behavior of mountain sheep under likecircumstanees. If I had approached the resemblance might have lawn carried farther, perhajis, for mountain sheep charge promptly when cornered.

One would not expect morn than two or three good looking among dozen English girls. It is my strong impression that every one of these was tall, fair, rosy, blue eyed and pretty several were beautiful. The lihegghe women must be among the loveliest of Europe, if thev be as much superior to the Tosk as the men certainly are. But Albanian good looks vanished by migration to Greece,

The true Hellenic blood, however, has left Its trace all through the Balkan penln aula. Even in Greece, they allege, there are a few secluded districts when? the divine beauty of old survives and I incline to credit It, for in the Evxone battalions, recruited anuu- the mountain youth, per feet facos of eussieeast ami tail, supple flgunwpropor inned like that of the Apollo may bo seen miu-s imt\*. The most famous of those Hellenic refuges is a valley In the neighborhood of t* qe containing 200 households, among whom, as enthusiasts declare, nil the gods and goddesses of Olymput ami all the finest statue of an tiuuity may be matched.

In Servia and Bulgaria also one notes a girl herv and there whose regular attd graceful Ixsuii quite startling among her dull ami stolid kinsfolk. I make no doubt that this is an example of "throwing back." as fanciers say the Hellenic blood asserting itself again. Roumanian good look* are deservedly renowned, but that is an Italian }•}*.

Of Cisf-ass.ans 1 have nothing to say. Not seliiom r.ow.-viavs one meets them It) Use Uajtaar* of stamboul. in the Valley of Sweet Waters., or even, In carriages of course, passion along the Grand Rue of Pera, almost as lightly veiled as a prudish Christian beauty. But whenever have been able to nl^rrve them, their faces were no p!a*t*red with white lead, or something as opaque, that «n» could as easily judg* the features of a el.»wn at Drnry Lane..

A Xorol H*by Toner.

Over in West Philadelphia lives a young lady who baa paast-1 the greater part of her life in a basket. Sm is Miss Madellna Eliinger, and is a daughter of Dr. T. J. El linger. To lie sure Miss Eliinger has only resided on this mundane sphere less than twelve months. The fact of her having lived in a basket Is probably not so remarkable as the basket itself, which is a combined cradle, swing and carriage, the invention of the genial doctor's fertile brain.

Miss Madellna is the doctor's first baby. No commonplace cradle would do for her so the doctor set his wits to work, with the result that Miss Madelina now occupies the most novel cradle in existence. The body is an ordinary wicker basket, oblong in shape, UjKHi which can be attached rockers, converting it into an ordinary cradle, or with the aid of wheels into a carriage. But it has rendered its greatest service as a swing, suspended by a spring from the ceiling.

The spring, which Is an ordinary spiral arrangement, with quite a strong tension, is attached by a cord to the handles of the basket and suspended from hook in the ceiling. Baby is then placed in the basket, which has previously been made comfortable by the aid of pillows. The basket is pulled down and allowed to fly back, thereby setting the spring in motion, and away we go. It requires but one pull and the novel swing vibrates for hours, much to the delight and satisfaction of Miss Baby.

But what proves Dr. Eliinger to be a man who realizes the blessing of labor saving machinery, is a device which he has rigged out in his bedroom. Like all other babies, Miss Madelina is not averse to indulging in nocturnal concert. On more than one occasion has her parental relative walked the floor in the dead watches of the night. But now he is relieved of this, thanks to the basket.

Should he be aroused from a dream, perchance of some fat fee, by that shrill voice which he kuows so well, instead of walking the floor for an hour or two, all he is obliged to do is to lazily reach for a cord by his bedside, give it a smart tug and the machinery is set in motion. Baby goes to sleep immediately, aud the doctor returns to his dream.—Philadelphia Record.

The Changing Fashion In Beauty. France has a revolution every fifteen or twenty years, so the beauties can be classed by regime. Each group has its distinguishing type. Tho First Empire beauty was divinely tall, and classic in her feature and bearing, and a wee bit sentimental. That of the Restoration was less in inches and greater in girth, though slender of waist. She was simple and unpretending, with withal the savoir vivre of education and nobility of race. Eugene Louis has immortalized the beauty of the monarchy of July. She, too, was graceful and elegant, but more modern.

Who has not read, in the annals of the Citizen King, of the Duchesse de Dino, the Marquise de Tallyrand Perigord, one of tho most famous of court beauties. Her rivals were the Priucesse de Liebea, the Princesse Bolglojoss, Baronne do Vatry, Duchesses de Dalmatic and do Fitz-James, who used to call herself queen of Englaud —a harmless usurpation the Countesses Leon and do la Redorte. There still survives Liardieres, nee Munster, therefore with Guelph blood. Mine. Liardieres has an admiring salon still, her features are handsome and her manners charming.

The most imposing beauty of lxuis Philippe's time was tho Duchesse d'Istrie, w'ijo ~i"»yV wore wmwj sacra, Buariet ribbons in her raven hair, and a diadem of diamonds. The Comtcsse de Fitz-James bad fair tresses and opulent shoulders. There are other names of less prominent note—marquises and duchesses of beauty and wit. Of the "professional beauties" there was the Duchesse d'Elchingen, one of tho most perfect models that ever sat to painter or sculptor Mmo. Odin comes seoond. Her blond tresses measured a yard and a half long—a record of departed glories.— Ijondon Court Journal.

tlonuet* of an Km pre**.

The Empress Josephiue once bought tbirty-slght bonnets in oue mouth. We do not know at what number her mighty bus band drew the line, but it is a fact that, having learned that she had indulged herself with the acquisition of this number, he—when he one day went into the saloon leading to her apartment and found in it Mile. Despeaux, the milliner, with a huge pile of suspicious looking bandboxes—was so indignant at the idea of his wife making fresh purchases that he flew into such a passiou that every one ran away, leaving him to decide whether he would vent his rage on poor Josephine, who was a prisoner with her feet In afoot Imth, or on the mill! ner herself.

He did a little of both. He was so angry with Josephiue. that she was speechless with terror, and ho sent for Savary, his minister of police, and ordered him to arrest Mile. Despaux. She was sent to La Force immediately, and though her fear of Napoleon and horror of a night in prison made her ill, her fortune was probably made by this startling outbreak of imperial temper. Next day nearly every one in Paris flocked to see her, hear her story and condole with her. She never could have lacked custom after this.—Exchange.

Tho Mirror In Japan.

Hand mirrors of metal are still In common use in oriental countries. In China and Japan they are usually made of bronze, slightly convex and about twelve inches in diameter. The Japanese woman who is so fortunate as to own a mirror regards It as the most precious of her possessions. There is an ancient myth to the effect that the Japanese sun goddess onoe became angry and shut herself op in her cave, so that all the earth was dark. To entice her from her concealment the other gods tried viurious artifices, bat all in vain until it occurred to them to construct a mirror by which, when the son goddess aaw her face In it, she was drawn forth through jealousy and cariosity.

When the Japanese empire first came 1 into existence the sun goddess gave the mirror to her grandson, saying: "Look opon this as my spirit, keep it in the same I house with yourself, and worship it a* if it my actual presence" This mirror is I to this day the it*-*! important article in the imperial mralia of Japan.—WashingI ton Star.

TERHE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT*'

A SONj DF^COlffENT.

What if the wind rise up In might. And gather blackness till day be-night! Till ttehfrningn barn through the awful sky. And tho rain like a cursed wraith shrieks by! The sun is my friend, and the hours run fast. And a summer storm cannot always last: Hera in my heart white lilies blow. As sweet as lilies can be, 1 trow.

What if King Winter's mailed hand Lay waste our beautiful flower filled land! ., What if the wind come raging down T» help the snow to bury the town! The sun is my friend, and the days run fast. And Winter's sway cannot always last Sweet Daphne, close to my side, lifts up The breath of May in her rosy cup.

And that is enough for me.

What if my neighbor's robes outshine These simple, plain little gowns of minel What If her coach roll up the street And leave me walking through mud and sleet! Work is my friend, and the years run fast. Grim poverty's reign may not always last And I have love, which is sweeter than gold. Love—as much as my heart can hold.

And that is enough for me. —Emma C. Dowd in Youth's Companion.

THE ^OMAN LAWYER.

Her Clients Are Xot Chiefly Women, as Would Be Supposed. A woman student of the law, whether in au office or a law school, has some peculiar experiences. To a single woman among a class of men the dilemma of the lecturers as to a fitting mode of address is amusing. Most of them will gaze anxiously around, and fixing the eye upon the lone female, with a slight bow, will open ?he discourse with the word "Gentlemen." One professor was always careful and courteous enough to begin with the phrase, "Lady and gentlemen I"

It is also amusing and gratifying to see the refining effect of the lady's entiptnce into the lecture hall or library of the school. If the upraised masculine feet do not at once and voluntarily come down from the tabletop or back of the next chair they are assisted to their rightful place on the floor by the hands of some fellow student. Of course there are always some men who heartily disapprove of a woman's presence within the walls of the law school, and are pleased to show their disapproval in any way short of actually rude conduct. I have never know of systematically rude behavior toward a woman law student.

When the woman lawyer puts out her shingle, or in modern fashion inscribes her name ou the marble tablets at the eutranoe of her building, her first experiences do not differ much from those of her brothers who are just beginning. Perhaps she has a few more "cranks" among her first clie.nts, who go to her because they "think they will get more sympathy from a woman." When sooner or later they have to be shown the door, their reproaches for her inhuman hard heartedness are particularly severe, because they "expected better things from a woman."

Her clients are not, as many' suppose, chiefly women. On the contrary, she is more likely to be employed by men who want to give her a chance to show what she can do. Therefore her cases are as likely to be questions of business contracts ae controversies that ure connected with matters popularly supposed to be within a woman's sphere.

When she appears in court tho woman attorney finds the judges and the attending counsel us courteous and as deferential as they would bo in her drawiug room. They will treat her as an equal, except that .bhoy will niwi*i liyr by placing chafTs, bateding books and paipers and doing more favors for her than for their male (Sol leagues. In fact they treat her very much as tbey would treat the distinguished legal lights of the age if they were within the bar—that is, with a deferential courtesy.

This, of course, is only the case when the woman lawyer behaves as a lady. If she assumes a defiant and bullying manner, as if to demand special recognition, she will receive the treatment she deserves. But such conduct is, I am happy to say, extremely rare among our women at the bar, and is much lamented- by others who are in public opinion weighed in the same balance with such misguided persons.— Mary A. Greene in Chautauquan.

Treatment of Oiled Floors. An expert in hard wood floors says that it is a common mistake for people to apply wax to an oiled floor before the coat of oil has become thoroughly dry. The wax surface is undoubtedly the best finish a hard wood floor can have. It requires continual polishing with wax polishing brush when it is new, but when the wood has Anally been brought to a high state of polish nothing is more satisfactory. A great many people who have laid down hard wood floors in their kitchen have become dissatisfied with them because they crack aud fall off in splinters when they are scrubbed and treated in the ordinary way. Such a result is likely to follow such a method of treating a hard wood floor.

Scrubbing any such floor with alkali soaps or strong alkalies is sure to produce such results. A hard wood floor must be finished In oils, wax or shellac, and for obvious reasons the oil finish is the best for kitchen use. A dirty floor may be wiped with a moiat cloth, or if necessary a little soap and water may be used. The spot then must be dried thoroughly and rubbed with a little parquet oil.—New York Tribune.

A Woman's Chances for Getting Married, Here is some information about the percentage of women who marry, which is very interesting.

Taking the earliest marrying age to be 15, which is the minimum In most civilized countries, and letting 100 represent her entire chance of marrying at certain points of her progress through life, a woman's chances of marriage stand in the following ratio:

Between the age of 15 and 30 years, 14K per cent. 90 and 25 years, S3 per cent. and 80 years, IS per cent. 30 and 85 years, 15Ji percent, 85 and 40 year*, 3# per cent, 40 and 45 years, per cent- and 50 years, of I per cent., and between the age of 50 and 60 years, Jfof I per cent. Above the age of 00 her chances are only i-10 of per cent,, or 2 In 1,000.—London Times.

A SLIGHT ERROR.

If He Had Only Kept Qniet It WcroM Have Been All Right. "Do you see that foreign-looking- fellow in the seat opposite us?" asked a comfortable-looking man in the smoking1 car of a Michigan Central train the other day. "Yes," replied the seat-mate. "What about bim?" "That's what I'm going to tell yon—

all about him." "Do you know him?" "Never saw him before,but I've always made it a practice to notice people when I travel, and speculate as to who they are, what they are, where they've been, and all that. By George! I can size a man up in gTeat- shape You notice that fellow's grizzled beard and rather refined features. "Y-yes." .-•••• "You see that he is entirely occupied with the periodical he has in his hands doesn't notice anything going on in the car?" "Seems to be looking at the pictures." "Exactly. Yon notice what the publication is? Can you read the title from there?" "An art magazine, isn't it?" "Yes. Now, you see that big flat parcel standing on the seat beside him?" "I see looks like a big atlas." "Isn't it You notice the man's careless dress, his stained hands, his dilapidated slouch hat?" "Yes." "And you have no idea yet what he is?" "Can't say I have. He doesn't appear to be an ordinary traveler exactly." "He's an artist. A typical artist— poor, but industrious. He lives up in the state somewhere, and he's been to the city to get a canvas for a new picture. That's it on the seat—that flat parcel. He's bought a copy of the magazine and he's engrossed in the study of it Now. just for fun, I'm going to prove the correctness of my diagnosis."

He leaned over and touched the sleeve of the man opposite. "Ex—excuse me. sir," he said, "but your face seems very familiar. I've been trying to place you."

The old man looked at him wonderingly, as though he did not understand. "If I'm not mistaken," continued the questioner, "you are an artist. Don't you live in the interior of the state somewhere? I forget exactly where I've seen you."

The man raised liis eyebrows slightly. "Live in Detroit," he said. "Well, you arc an artist—a painter." He pointed to the flat parcel.

The other man looked serious, ne pulled the paper away from the edge of the parcel and disclosed a dozen lights of glass. "Glass-put-in man," he said, pointing to himself. "Me-a-put-in-a-glass—go to Saginaw. See?"

Just then the train boy came along gathering up his literature, and as he took away the art publication which the Italian had been fingering, the com-fortable-looking man with a baffled smile, shifted himself back into his own seat, remarking as he did so: "I«f I'd let the man alone it would have been all right—Detroit Free Press.

SAVING WORK.

A Husband's Help In Huvlng tho llouftewito. Every woman needs a large table on which to wash dishes, milk-pans, cans* pails, etc., and I thought I had done about the right thing when I furnished my wife one three feet wide and five feet long. But I found that it took a good deal of hard work to keep it clean, and one day my wife suggested a zinc cover. I bought for one dollar a sheet which completely covered it, and it is always smooth and bright with less than a fourth the work it required before covering. I believe the one thing which has saved the most work is my arrangement for setting milk. We are remote from a pond from which to cut ice. and so do not use it for cooling milk. For some years we used our cellar, which is cool and suitable, but the work of carrying milk up and down stairs is so heavy that I deternefned to arrange something better. We have a well of good, cold water six feet from the summer kitchen. I made a tank one foot wide and deep enough to hold

a three-gallon can of milk, and placed it just insided the summer kitchen, and cut a hole through the siding so that we can pump directly into the tank. At the bottom a faucet projects outside, so that the water can be drawn into a small cemeted basin, which discharges into a tile drain. A waste-pipe at the top discharges into this basin, and now when the men come to the pump for water, instead of pumping a tubful for us to empty, the waste water runs through the tank and cools our milk. The tank is made of inch-and-a-half lumber, and painted three coats inside and out I am not sure but it would be nearly as cheap and better, to make a box of inch lumber and line it with zinc, as it would lie easy to keep it sweet.

Our cellar has a cement floor, and food keeps cooler and will keep sweet longer placed on the cellar bottom than In a cupboard or safe, but it most be covered from flies, and when covered closely it often has a musty taste. We have prepared some boxes of light wood, with wire such as we use for fly screens to give ventilation. Two boxes am seeded, as we sometimes must put warm vegetables in, and these should have a box by themselves. By opening a cellar at night so to thoroughly ventilate it darkening it in daytime and sprinkling the cement floor with cold water ccaskinalJy* a cellar may be kept delightfully cooL—Waldo f.

Bishop Turner is sixty-nine and in his prime. —Mr. Greeley said half his life was devoted to the Tribune, and the other half in preparation for it He opposed adopting literature as a profession in the following words: "Literature is a noble calling only when the call issues from a world to be enlightened and blessed, not from a void stomach clamoring to be gratified and filled." —Mr. Gladstone, in the face of protest clings to his belief that the sum paid to Milton for his "Paradise Lost" was the first regular payment for literary work. "In the sixteenth century," he concedes," there were axiffiC^s in the pay of booksellem. Milton, however, was no journeyman. He sold a property and I have not yet received notice of any earlier case in which a literary work was made the subject of sale and purchase." —A novel plan for extinguishing a church debt lias been hit upon in Melbourne, Australia. The church committee—or vestry, as the case may be— divide the total debt among themselves, and each man insures his life for the amount that falls to his share. The policies are transferred to the church, and the annual payments on them arc made out of the collections. Then, of course, as the members of the committee "drop off," the sums on their lives drop in, and later, when the only survivor dies, the last installment of the church debt is paid.—London Public Opinion. —Jan Van Beers, the celebrated painter, gave a midnight supper to some friends in London recently. The entertainment was full of surprises. The electric light was suddenly switched oft', whereupon the table, and the guests became mysteriously illuminated from an unseen source. It was then evident that the tablo was a sheet of glass under the cloth, and that the lights were beneath it Two pates were handed to the host, who promptly released from them some dozen tame Java sparrow^, who hopped and ^wittered about the room. The temporary ceiling was a vellarium, and thereupon were thrown, by a magic-lantern, portraits of several of the guests.
