Are Plentiful But "When They Are Clever Their Plainness Is Not So Much Noticed by Intelli gent Men. Ugly girls! Happily they are rare. Plain girls they are in plenty; and per haps, on the whole, it; is better for the peace of mankind that they should be in the majority. But absolute downright ugliness is seldom met with. Irregu larity, insignificance or want of har mony in the features is not sufficient to constitute ugliness. A high f ore headN is nowadays universally consid ered a misfortune, says the New York Advertiser. Our great-grandfathers considered it quite the reverse. A pasty complexion is, no doubt, a calam ity; so is the long upper lip, and so is the large chin. But a girl's face may have one of these characteristics, it may even possess them all, without be ing positively ugly. An intelligent mind and a'gentle spirit may do won ders in transforming a pale face, and making it, if not beautiful, at least at tractive. And the proof of this is the often-noted fact that many plain, and even ugly, girls are led to the altar, while their handsomer sisters inspire admiration without winning love. It is when plain or badly-formed features are the home of stupidity, when they are unilluminedby a spark of sense or a ray of generous feeling, that they form a truly ugly face. Such faces there are, and there are also faces cast by nature in so bad a mold that noth ing will render them attractive, any more than a deformed figure can be rendered comely; but such ugliness is almost as rare as beauty itself. A curious change has come over the minds of men in respect to the beauty of women; they seem to value it less than they did; and this in spite of the fact that beauty has of late years be come rarer than ever. In the last cen tury men would imperil their lives cheerfully for the mere privilege of be ing considered beauty's champion. jIen do not toast reigning belles now; there are no reigning belles to toast. here are the love songs? Herrick and Burns and Heine have no modern" compeers. The chief reason for the decline in the value men put upon beauty is, np doubt, the superior edu cation of the nineteenth century girl. Men have, by slow degrees, learned to take pleasure in the society of women who are mentally their equals, whether they are fair to look upon or not. Many clever women really Ho not seem to care two straws whether they are good looking or ill looking. Their lives do not tend even to the preservation of such traces St comeli ness as nature may have bestowed upon them.' They study, and turn heavy eyed and sallow; or they devote themselves to some trade and profes sion and acquire the strenuous, thin lipped visage by which the worker is known; or perhaps they adopt the physical as well as mental develop ment, and lose all grace of form by vi olent exercise, and all delicacy of com plexion by exposure to the weather. In a word, they become ugly girls, and they do not mind it. - We do not know that the plain girl, who can carry off her ugliness under a rattle of words and a constant flow of good spirits, is very much to be pitied. But there are gome ill-favored, damsels who really deserve commiseration those, namely, who are too painfully aware of their deficiency in good looks to forget it for a moment. Strange as the observation may sound to male ears, it "is yet a fact that there are plenty of girls who, sa far from feeling vain of their personal - appearance, would not complain if fashion ordained that they should veil their faces after the manner of the east. Very likely their mothers, from a mistaken notion of guarding them against feelings of vanity, have spoken so often in a dis paraging way of their looks that they have actually conceived a dislike for their own personal appearance. They are perfectly convinced that they pre sent an unpleasing, if not disagreeable, spectacle to their fellow-men; their highest ambition is to render them selves as little repulsive as possible. It is not an easy thing to imagine what agonies a shy and ugly girl may have to endure, or how sweet to her are the marks of respect and courtesies which are too often monopolized by the pret ty girls oi a party. It is undoubtedly one of the distinctive marks of the gentleman . that he pays a woman all the little attentions that the usages of society require of him, whether she is young or old, handsome or ugly. ' 1 Men often excuse themselves for at tendance on plain young women on the ground that they are not only ill- looking, but ill-tempered. There is too much truth in the charge. But the ugly girl is not without excuse. The consciousness that no man or woman cares to look at her face a second time, joinea to me sensitiveness she has ac quired, is apt to sour her temper; and this, in its turn, tends to increase her ugliness. Yet it is a singular fact that if a man, for any reason, pays marked attention to a plain girl, she is apt to hold her chin half an' inch higher in the air than a good-looking girl would do under the same circumstances. It would be futile to inquire into the rea sons of this tendency on the part of uffiy girls to give themselves airs; but the fact is patent to all men. American Idolators. jne x uma inaians oi Arizona are the true American- idolaters. The tribe is an exclusive one, and every member is proud of his people. They were the objects of much attention from the Jusuit fathers when they opened their missions, but the work of converting them was never very suc cessful. They had their idols and still cling to them, making them out of clay. Their pottery is well and curi ously made, and is their chief, source of income. Pottery idols are their pride as well as the objects of their worship. A LION ON THE LpCOMOTlVErf He Was "Only a. Mountain IJonfJatTo- body Disturbed Him. - Last winter when the snowstorms were so f earful throughout the moun tains in Uta,h, anil the earth was cov-ere-EvJth snow to the depth of five to ten feet and remained hidden so long the wild animals were forced to desper ation. The wolves, says the Detroit Free Press, were starved and weak, and what is known as the mountain lion almost perished from starvation. Its great strength failed it and a man with a knife could soon take the life of an animal that a short time before could hold a powerful ox or horse and make a meal of his flesh. .;. The hungry animals after awhile dis covered that food was to be had along the railroad track, where passengers threw bones and scraps of victuals from passing trains. Often two starv ing coyotes would engage in deadly combat over a chicken bone that had a short time before been ridden; of its last vestige of nourishment by ' some economical person who did not care to pay seventy-five cents for a meal. This was the condition of things. - Engineer past had charge of engine No. 151, which 1 was known as "the helper," from the fact that it helped trains up the mountain and when at the summit cut off and dropped back down to the bottom ready to help an other. One night when business on the road was slack Gast noticed some thing wrong with the gearing under the tender and remarked to the fire man that they would get off and repair it. When half way down the moun tain side he brought the engine to a standstill, and the two men went to work at what proved to be a twenty minutes' job packing a hot box on the tender. ' The tallow pot was left at the boiler's head. After completing the repairs the men were mounting the engine Again, only to see a huge mountain lion devouring the tallow and holding full possession of the engine cab. It was a cold night and the snow drifting. The men had already remained outside until they were very cold, and the chances of dis possessing Mr. Lion were very meager, as he snapped his teeth and flashed his eyes and fast stored the tallow out of sight. The only consolation the men had was that the tallow would not last long at that rate, and even this thought was not entirely satisfying, as they had no way of determining that oife of them would not go the same way at the conclusion of the tallow feast. Finally,, after fifteen minutes' further delay, the tallow pot was empty, and giving a growl, as much as to say: "I am very thankful, gentle men, and you ought to be," the animal leaped from the cab and disappeared in the hills. SAMOAN FUNERALS. The Profuse Ceremonials Observed Whan Death Ocean. In Samoa it is impossible for a chief to die in peace and quiet. As soon as he is known to be near death, the people for miles around hasten to pay- him a farewell visit. On one ouch occasion, according to a writer In Outing, the visitors, all of whom had to be enter tained, devoured seven hundred pigs. . When death finally occurs, the rela tives and friends come with their offer ings of fine mats. Singly, or in small groups, they present the tokens of their sorrow to some old woman, deputed to receive them. The mats are spread over the corpse, until in - some in stances a hundred or more are piled up, entirely hiding the body from sight. They excite more attention than the dead chief, and after the burial are hung up for inspection. v Every mat has a name and history, and though the outsider could not easily distinguish one from another. yet the elderly' people recognize them at first sight, and relate bits of history about each, as it is exposed to view. Alter tne funeral is over, within a day or two, there is a grand meeting for a division of the mats. Every one who brought a mat expects to take away one a better one. All hands are seated in a circle, and the mats are piled up in the center. The head of the - family, who is al ways a high chief, opens a folded mat. All look at it carefully, discuss its mer its and value, mention its various own ers at different times and the great oc casions at which it has figured, and the name of the donor on the present oc casion. Then the head of the family calls the name of some person who is in the circle, to intimate that the mat is given to him, or her, a3 the case may be. The recipient takes the mat, lifts it, and presses it to the top of the head, at the same time expressing audible thanks. The entire heap of mats is parcelled out in the same manner One of England's Oldest Trees. One of the oldest trees standing in England is the "Tort worth" chestnut, which, as far back as the reign of Stephen, in 1135, was so remarkable for its size apd antiquity that it was recog nized as the terminal boundary of the manor of Tortworth in Gloucestershire. The wondrously old tree was cited by Dr. Ducard in his controversy with .Dames Harrington as a convincing proof of the chestnut being indigenous to Great Britain. It is supposed to have attained its maturity in the reign of Egbert. In 1760 the Tortworth chest nut was fifty feet in circumference and fifty-two feet high, and many more centuries of tranquil existence -were predicted for it. Wonders of Prehistoric Art. In one of the oldest ruins of the state of. Oaxaca, Mexico, a number of very rare and interesting images, found in metal, have been uncovered. The images represent people of Oriental ap pearance and dress, as well as priests in their robes of sacrifice. They bear hieroglyphics of unknown characters and are elaborately wrought, with fine art lines shown in every curve. The images found thus far are of gold, either wholly or in part, and are coated with some unknown enamel, which has preserved them from all harm in the many years they . have been buried in thasUi.
