What, asks Walter Besant, is wom“an’s greatest charm? Sweet looks, sweet speech, sweet smiles, sweet voice, lovely eyes, a comely head, ‘a graceful ligure—all these are gifts and graces to hg ardently.desired. Yet there is one gift that surpasses all the rest. At the portraits of three women, Lady Hamilton, Mrs, Jordan-and_ Sophie Arnould. “The lovely Emma is a type of rustic beauty at its-best—not refined—likely ‘to bécome coarse. Mrs. Jordan shows, behind acharming face, intellect, wit. cleverness and a gentle heart. Sophie Arnotld shows greater wit, greater clevétness and a heart not so gentle perhaps On each of the faces there is in addition unmistakably the same quality, rare and wonderful. It is the quality for which there is no other word than witchery. These were all three witches, but instead of being burned at. the stake they set fire to every masculine heart that approached them. And the noble procession of fair women— Delilah, Bathsheba, and her contemporary, Helen of Troy;.Aspasia, Cleopatra, Diane de Poitiers; Mary, queen of Scots; Nell. Gwynne—they were all witches, and they all possessed the wonderful, indescribable look ,which proclaims their mysterious power of faseination. Many there are who have this fairy’s gift in a greater or less degree. . Providentially few know their own power and are content to bewitch one man alone out of all the earth. And what is the secret of this gift? It is certainly not faultless beauty, for it isa perfectly comprehensible paradox that as a rule the women who have been noted for the fascination of their beauty were fot pretty women at all. Anne’ Boleyn had many plastic defeects.The: Duchess of Burgundy, who lit up in the old age of Louis XIV and the court of Versailles and neutralized the morose infinence of Mme. de Maintenon, had a goitrons neck and decayed front teeth, yet she wasproclaimed a beauty.

The caustic’ dean of St.' Patrick’s wondering -How_ angels look at thirty-six, proves a sharp contrast to the more modern writer, George Lewes, who in his ‘‘Life ot Goethe’’ speaks of 88 as the fascinating period in a woman’s life, being that in which he considered her to have reached the full development of her powers of mind and body. And 88 was the age at which Frau von Stein proved dangerous to the heart of ‘the poet who had survived the more “youthful charms of a Gretchen, a Charlotte and a Lili. The line between jeune fille and vieille fille is, in the posharper and more merciless hand than in our own; yet it is the glory of that “French lite, with its clear and practical limitations and its adoration of “youthful beauty, to have presented the ‘finest Hower of courtesy that the world has ever know to women who bad lost -the charms of early youth and ruled the minds and even the hearts of men by ‘to read -the descriptions of salon life in er of such women as Mme. de: Ramillet, Mme, Deffand,. who could tolerate anything but the commonplace; Mme.’ Necker, her brilliant daughter, Mme. de Stael, and her cherished friend, Mme, d’Hondetot, exercised in literary, social and political matters. It is interesting to see how the age of the heroine of the modern novel differs from that ‘of older writers. Out of 80 of Scott's heroines 16. are describetaas under 20, threé are over 20, ‘and only one, Amy Robsart,-is a heroine ‘‘of an uncertain age,’’ since she is historical“Ty @ middle aged matron and fictitiously a_youthfnl bride. _But the conspicu‘\Wonidn, not a girl, who has lived and experienced much, and not infrequently ismarried before thestory introduces her as its central figure.—New York Snn_ Awarded “Highest Honors—World’s Fair.

A big Newfoundland dog, in the last stages of starvation, was found one day last week in the hold of the wrecked tank steamer Gluckanuff, which went ashore east of the Lone Hill life saving station on the south side of Long Island ina blinding snowstorm about a year ago. A party of duck hunters from Sayville clamberéd inside the wreck out of curiosity and’ saw the dog crotching on one of the boilers. ‘ The boiler was surrounded by water, and the dog was so weak that he was unable to get off. How the animal got thereis not known, but he must have heen washed overboard from some passing vessel, and while making for the shore must have been carried into a big hole that exists in the side of the wreck. There he found lodgment on the boiler. By means of ladders the duck hunters succeeded in rescuing the animal, and he was taken to a cabin on the beach and fed. He is nowin the p pospension of Vinal Terry. * Mahogany Streets In Paris. The laying down of mahogany roadways sounds almost like a dream of oriental magnificence, but it is what the Paris municipal council are engaged in at the present moment. A portion of that almost-interminablethoroughfare, the Rue Lafayette—that portion nearest to the. Eastern of France railway ter‘men are laying down blocks of real Bra‘gilian mahogany of a peculiarly fine texture and color. _It-is'confessedly an experiment, as the mahogany is dearer than the woods ordinarily used for the ‘same purpose. Mahogany, however, is not as dear as it used to be. The actual cost of the new roadway will be 50 francs a square meter,-which is considerably less than £2@-square yard. It is hoped that the’ extra ontlay incurred will be more than compensated for by greater durability.—London News. “Down With the Lords!” A New: York newspaper man writing from London says: Havelock Wilson, M.

Contrary.to the feeling in London, he declares that no topic appeals so strongly to workingmen. in the country as the time he advocated the dissolution of the house of lords the suggestion was received with wild enthusiasm. ‘Down with the lords!” would be the best election cry of the next campaign; in--his opinion.

Reptiles and batrachians usually possess what may be termed the water location sense. My attention was first called to this . by my brother, who, while engaged in a natural history expedition in southeastern Texas, had what at the time we both considered a unique experience with a large sea tortoise. This tortoise had been surprised, some distance from the water, among the sand dunes that line the gulf shore, and on being overtaken had its head chopped off preparatory to serving as a very toothsome addition to our diet. Much to tha surprise of the party the beheaded animal continued on its way toward the water. : Several times it was turned around, entirely or part way, but every time it was able to mght its position perfectly and again make directly for the water. At the time this was narrated to me I was of the opinion that there must have been something in the contour of the land that enabled the tortoise to regain the correct direction in each case. Since then I have had numerous proofs that this ability belongs to a number of species of these animals in the West Indies, and that the loss of eyes and nasal organs, of the entire head and neck, in fact, apparently works no inconvenience to them in this particular, This is a family characteristic which, so far as I have been able to find, is not alluded to in any work concerning them, The same singular ability may he observed in certain species of. water frequenting snake. . The common watersnake, often erroneously called’ the ‘water moccasin,’ #imost invariably finds its way to the water, if not too far away, when its head is cut off.—St. Louis Republic, The Color of Man. ‘ The color of the skin in the various races of man has never yet been scientifically accounted for, although numerous mythological stories have been told ind senseless theories advanced as reai6ns for the remarkable variations in 1ne,> Nor have we any certain datu ‘oncerning tho color of the cuticle oi he primeval man, the original ‘‘lord f creation.’' A pretty African legend i that he was-as black es’ the .proverial ace of rpades and that the present 2ale color of the Caucasian race isthe he time of the fall. {t is proper to state here that the ‘ame legend says that the present black ace are descendants of one of Adam's ons that Was born and left Eden before “he great change in color overtook our ‘iret parents.

Reptiles and batrachians usually possess what may be termed the water location sense. My attention was first called to this . by my brother, who, while engaged in a natural history expedition in southeastern Texas, had what at the time we both considered a unique experience with a large sea tortoise. This tortoise had been surprised, some distance from the water, among the sand dunes that line the gulf shore, and on being overtaken had its head chopped off preparatory to serving as a very toothsome addition to our diet. Much to tha surprise of the party the beheaded animal continued on its way toward the water. : Several times it was turned around, entirely or part way, but every time it was able to mght its position perfectly and again make directly for the water. At the time this was narrated to me I was of the opinion that there must have been something in the contour of the land that enabled the tortoise to regain the correct direction in each case. Since then I have had numerous proofs that this ability belongs to a number of species of these animals in the West Indies, and that the loss of eyes and nasal organs, of the entire head and neck, in fact, apparently works no inconvenience to them in this particular, This is a family characteristic which, so far as I have been able to find, is not alluded to in any work concerning them, The same singular ability may he observed in certain species of. water frequenting snake. . The common watersnake, often erroneously called’ the ‘water moccasin,’ #imost invariably finds its way to the water, if not too far away, when its head is cut off.—St. Louis Republic, The Color of Man. ‘ The color of the skin in the various races of man has never yet been scientifically accounted for, although numerous mythological stories have been told ind senseless theories advanced as reai6ns for the remarkable variations in 1ne,> Nor have we any certain datu ‘oncerning tho color of the cuticle oi he primeval man, the original ‘‘lord f creation.’' A pretty African legend i that he was-as black es’ the .proverial ace of rpades and that the present 2ale color of the Caucasian race isthe he time of the fall. {t is proper to state here that the ‘ame legend says that the present black ace are descendants of one of Adam's ons that Was born and left Eden before “he great change in color overtook our ‘iret parents.
