FRENCH BEAUTIES.

Varlaa* ChBnjfM In PrcTailinc 8tyl«* of O.illia Lorcliaeu. France, says the Gaulois. has a revolution every fifteen or twenty years, so the beauties, can be classed by regime. Each j*ronn has its distinguishing type. The 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 gTeater in {firth, though slender of waist She was simple and unpretending, with wit hal the savoir vivre of cdu •cation and nobility of race Eugene Louis ha*. iiriuiortaiized the beauty of the monarchy of .July She, too, was graceful and elegant, but more modem. Who has not rer.d in the annals of the citizen ki:) .' of the Duchess de Dino. the Marqnise de* Talleyrand- I'erigord, one of the most famous of court beauties? Her rivals were the f'rincessede Lie be a, the Prineesse lk-!^iojos.

A PALATIAL STATION.

Oun In (icrwmy Tlmt out Pour Million 'ollur*. The most, costly of all the Merlin railway stations *is the Anhalter station. Raid to have cost four million dollars. One can hardly credit the statement, as the trainhouse contains only six tracks Movt pf he lHon.-y was spent on the front luiIdi: ft Is simply a palace None of our public buildings in Washington hasnn enininee hall which is at all comparable to the great vestibule and staircases of this building [£veu the great railway stations of London are completely surpassed by the Anhalter station, which is the terminus for trains running to I'rfurt, Madgeburg, Carlsbad, Halle, ('asscl. Frank-furt-on-t he-Main, and many other points

At this station, says the Itoston Herald, as at the Potsdam station, small trunks find all minor luggage belonging to passengers are earned upstairs to the main floor of the station by the porters. The heavier luggage is taken up by the hydraulic elevators that play so Important part in all Berlin railway stations. There is an enormous restaurant and waiting rooms on the track door of the station, the first and second class passengers Ietng carefully separated from the third and fourth class The tracks lending out of this station are elevated, and run past live-story building for a long distance The station is really in the heart of the city now. although thirty vein's ago the location would have Ikmmi regarded as almost on the outskirts.

Jiwt of Ant*.

Ants have very powerful jaws, considering the M?.e of their bodies, and therefore their method of fighting is by biting. They will bite one another and hold on with a powerful grip of their jaws, even after their legs have been bitten off by other ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will be clinging with a death grip to one another, making a peculiar spectacle, and soma with half of the ixxly gone. One singular fact that the grip of an ant's jaw la retained even after the body ha* been bitten off and nothing but the head remains- ______

ASTOR AND MARQUETTE.

These Two Xamcs Are Household Wordi on the Island of Mackinac. One of the most important points of interest Mackinac offeis to the stranger is the headquarters of the old American Fur Company, built by John Jacob Astor in IS09, writes Marquis Lanza in Frank Leslie's Monthly. The house, a long, rambling establishment with dingy, low-ceilinged corridors and an exterior continually fresh from the barbarous brush of the calciminer, is employed now as a dwelling. Within these rooms the nucleus of the Astor millions was formed and gradually assumed ccjossal proportions and the name of John Jacob is as familiar a household word on the island as that ol Father Marquette.

Jaques Marquette, a French Jesuit priest and the renowned explorer of the Mississippi, was undoubtedly the first white man to visit the island, where he started an Indian mission. The precise location of his chapel is not known, bnt there is reason to believe that it stood in close proximity to the Huron fort or palisaded village, bailt in IG72 and later .destroyed by (ire. The grave of Father

Marquette was unknown until the year 1S77, when it was discovered in St. ignaec by Itev. Father Jacker, a Catholic priest.

Despite the fact that more than two hundred years have elapsed since the death of Marquette, the village of Mackinac is replete with hallowed memories of him. His name is always spoken with a reverential admiration. To these simple people he stands in the light of a hero, representing ail that is lofty in character and all that is brave and exalted in discipline. He will remain forever to them a silent example of generous self-sacrifice and voluntary hardship in the interest of a noble cause.

HAVE WE DIAMOND MINES?

A Sclontlst Thinks That They May IJn Pound In Arizona.

Prof. G. Footc, in a paper read before a meeting of scientific societies in Washington, sjoke of a geological formation that gave rise to some very interesting suggestions. His thesis was based upon the claim that in a collection of very remarkable specimens of meteoric iron found on the side of Crater mountain, Arizona, he had discovered diamonds.

Crater mountain rises abruptly 432 feet above the surrounding plain. The walls of the so-called crater, which are very* steep, are formed of sandstone and limestone, and are lifted at an angle of forty degrees. But as no lava or other volcanic products are found, the hollow cannot be considered a true crater. As this depression is of similar character to that from which the diamonds at Kimberly, South America, arc dug, why should not diamonds abound in Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico, which are the richest regions for meteoric iron in the world? asks tlvj Jewelers' Circular.

Prof. Foote's theories are among the soundest advanced in the sea of speculation on the production of diamonds of the past decade. Hut as the conclusions of science are often too premature and too positive, the letter of the learned gentleman's proposition must not be accepted without the proof derived from thorough investigation.

A BOTTLE OF CATSUP.

tb«

How Typewriter llroke It Over ltrul mi Inconstant |j»wyer. There is a dearth of typewriters in Vancouver. An order for a dozen arrived here recently and was promptly filled. A burly lawyer, famous for his admiration of the fair sex, was shocked one day by the reception of a note from a blonde angel who worked the types in his ofilce, st: "ing that circumstances over which she had no control compelled her to resign her posi tion. Vancouver wanted her and she had to go. There ujHjn the attorney decided that ere they parted a little wine dinner wou Id not break him, says the San Francisco News-Letter. So ho bade her to the feast, forgetting that he had made a similar engagement at the same hour and place with the typewriter of a learned brother of the law.

The latter beauty wasof a jealous disposition, and when she recognized the voice of her false friend in the adjoining room at the restaurant, promptly decided upon the test thing to lc done. It consisted simply of smashing a bottle of tomato catsup on the lawyer's expansive head so good and hard that the stuff ran all over his face, and he. seeing the ruby mess, yelled for a

Cliluttt Lote of Animal*.

The Chinese never punish an animal: hence a mule that in the hands of a foreigner would not only be useless, but dangerous to everyone about it. becomes in the possession of a Chir.aman as quiet as a lamb ar.d ns tractable cs a dog. We never beheld a runaway, a jibbing or a vicious mule or pony in a Chinaman's employment bnt found thc same rattling, cheerful pace maintained over heavy or light roads, by means of a "tur-r" or "clnek-k." the beast turning to the right or left and stopping with bat a hint from the reins.

TEKRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAlk

BRAVERY OF BLONDES.

Bine Eyes Indicative of Great Physical Co urate. "There's my boy," writes a gossiper in a Pittsburgh paper, "just a little chunk of a fellow and as tender hearted as a girl, has more pluck than some men- Like t'other day, his mother fonnd one of his teeth growing wrong, and we concluded he'd better be taken to the doctor. He didn't fancy the trip very much, but be wenr like a little man. Well, sir, if yon believe me, he sat up in a chair and had six teeth pulled out and never whimpered, but tears as big as marbles rolled down his cheeks. The doctor told him to hold on to the chair when he pulled, and he did. Some of the teeth were hard to get out. and the forceps slipped a time or two, but he never winced. "I've noticed in prize fights that the blue-eyed, fair-complexioned fellow generally wins and invariably shows the most pluck. The red-haired clv*p gets as mad as a rantankerous cat and fights fast and furious, but soon gives it up. The black-haired fellow starts in boldly, hits hard and shows great bravery or egotism, but after receiving a few sound raps begins to weaken. "Not so with the blue-eyed, mildmannered pug- He smiles and smiles, acts with great caution and puts his licks in wherever they'll do the most good. You can't rattle a fellow like that, because he is wary and doesn't allow his temper to get above boiling point. Give me a blue-e3-ed fellow for pluck all the time."

ONE OF NATURE'S FREAKS.

The Remarkable Deformity of a New York M»n. Ezekicl Eads, who died in Greene county, New York, in the spring of 1SS5 was surely a fit subject for a dime museum, even though he never descended to that level, rStrictly speaking, Eads was in several respects a most remarkable creature. He was born without ears, not even having apertures where his ears should have been. His deformity, says the St. Louis Republic, sad as it was, may be said to have been partially alleviated by the curious construction of the inner portion of his hcaejl, which enabled him to hear common conversation through his mouth. When addressed he would instantly open lps mouth and readily give answers to interrogations put to him in an ordinary tone of voice, llut Ezekial's lack of ears was not his only lack of distinction. He had a heavy crop of black hair spotted with white, the spots themselves being in-the exact shape of human ears, feet, hands, etc. When he was quite a small baby it was noticed that his black hair was interspersed with oddly shaped spots of white, which, however, did not take on their distinctive shapes until after he had passed his fifteenth year.

When Mr. I'ads died he left one son, aged forty- ive, whose hair was as black as coal, not a single gray hair being discernible, and another son, thirteen years of age, whose hair was as gray as that of a man of seventy.

AND MOST ECONOMICAL,

Is that of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. It is prepared with greater care and accuracy, from finer and more expensive materials, competent chemists test every ingredient nothing is left to chance. No ammonia, alum or other adulterant taints this purest of human food products. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is possible to attain. It is always uniform and reliable and retains its full strength until used. It is not only more economical because of its wonderful raising power, but by reason of its greater bulk, the cans being much larger than the ordinary kind it will go farther and do better work. It never disappoints. Dr. Prices is the only baking powder that contains the whites of eggs.

Every other Baking Powder tested contained impurities from 10.18 per cent, to 86.23 per cent, of their entire weight.
