English mid American girls benr off tlio
pa! in among tho tuitions of the world
There is. however, a di (Terence between
their respective qualities of beauty I
havo elsowhero siiWcleiitlv portrayed the
swovt and coy beauty of our American
pirls not to toft them the whole truth mi
this occasion The English girl is thor
oughly active in her pursuit of healthy
exercise, sho walks, and runs, and ploys
lawn tennis a great deal; riding, if she
liavo tho means, is ono of her most favor
Ho amusements; whilo boating and trl
cycling la eagerly sought whenever op
portunity occurs. Our American "rose
buds," on tho contrary, havo a very trying
climato to cont ad with; they take too
littla exercise and too much iced water.
Tho result is that English girls nro able
to bring u more rosento bloom to their
checks, to walk longer distances and to
Btand much more fatigue, they aro, In
fact, moro robust and havo better devel
oped figures; and although there are, no
doubt, in Now York, or In any other largo
city of tho United States, a dozen women
as perfectly bountiful in form and faco as
any chiseled by tho greatest artists, our
American girls aro in tho main less bright
lu color, moro delicate and palo than would
otherwise bo tho caso if they moro stead
fastly resorted to tho Invigorating means
of health, outdoor exercise, long since
adopted by their English sisters, and to
which, doubtless, tho latter owo their ex
quisito forms and also tho fact that thev
remain youthful in appearance much
longer than our compatriots; in fact, an
English woman of 10 looks younger than
au Americnn woman of CO years; of course
I do not now refer to women of tho work
lug class. Frank Leslie
TCiiRsln'H New Railway Ronto.
'Tho Siberian Pacific railroad has not
Tet been commenced, and already a now
"Siberian railway la projected. It will be
called after tho river Old. Its connection
with tho bed of that stream and witli a
suitable port to tho west of Walgntz
island will open a doublo now road to Si
beria by land and by water. It is pro'
posed to "circumvent" tho mouth of the
river Obi, tho peninsula of Yalmal, and
tho Kara tieu. which aro dillicultot' accosB,
owing to tho masses of drifting ico. The
now route will only bo -100 vcrsts long,
taking a northwesterly direction from the
mouth of tho river Obi to tho Walgutz
sea, in a bav of which a hurbor Is to be
built. Tho slto chosen for this harbor in
sheltered from tho wind by tho Pao-Choi
mountuins.
Tho count rv being level and well stud
ded with forests, the construction of the
fllno will offer llttlo difficulty. Tho entire
cost, Including tho harbor, is estimated
nt 20,000.000 rubles. Under existing eon
lltiou3 the transport of merchnndlho to
Barnaul, via Tlumen, Perm and St. Pe
tersburg to Ixmdon takes threo months,
whereas by tho now lino two months
will bo saved. Western Siberia produces
annually lO.OOO.OOO Russian poods of
wheat. Tho opening of tho Obi linn will
materlallv Increase . commercial Inter
couru with tho west, and bo tho means
of Hiipplylug tho European market with
wheat at u considerably lower price than
that moiluced at homo. Paris Cor. Lou

Somo brain workers toil u year after
yeiir, contenting theinselvca with tin- ri
luxation of ti day or two now iimi then.
They have no real vacations, and the
brief intervals that they are away from
their duties do them but little good, not
being long enough for them to forg'it
their work and vexations and get out. of
the irroovt' thev have been running in
There coiuch at last to these men a time J
when memory weakens, when it is hard
for them to fix the mind uiwii one sub
ject, and their work seems to grow more
and more irksome, and in conversation
there is a slight tendency to incoherence.
It is rather difficult for them at times to
express themselves clearly; tho suitable
words do not come to them as readily an
they onco did.
When conversing they start in well,
but after a short time their ideas an?
somewhat confused, and they an-obliged
to make considerable effort to keep their
attention fixed upon the subject they are
discussing. In writing there is a hesi
tancy, especially on long words or sen
tences, Thny are obliged to stop and
think, seeming to drop the thread that
they have been holding. These are signs
of mental failure, which must not In
disregarded In this condition of brain
exhaustion, not only are the reasoning
faculties sluggish, but unusual effort is
required from the weakened will to keep
tho attention fixed. Oood mental work
is then accomplished only at the oxiH-nse
of the brain, which is still further weak
cned by every intense effort.
The tune has now come wlien mental
rest is imperative, and it sliouul be as
complete as possible. A long vacation
should betaken: short rests arc not likely
to do any good. A sea voyage promises
tho greatest good to the weakening brain
worker. On shipboard lie seems to drop
almost entirely out of his old life. His
vacation should not lie ol less than a
month's duration, and it ought to ran
on for several months Failing to take
tho needed rest, insanity is very likely to
be the penalty. Boston Herald
Tlio Tumi hiiiI Hi" Diiko of Wellington.
Short Cuts has unearthed a peculiarly
delightful letter of the Duke of Welling
ton's, which runs as follows: "btratli-
floldsaye. .Inly 27. 18117. Field Marshal
tho Duke of Wellington is happy to in
form William Harries that his toad is
alive and well." During one of his
country walks the duke found a little
bov Ivuik on tho ground bonding Ins
head over a tame toad and crying as il
his heart would break. On being asked
what was the mutter the child explained
that he was crying "for his poor toad."
He brought it something to eat every
morning, but He was now to ue sent
away to seliool a long instance on. aim
he was alraid that uolmdy else would
give it anything to eat and that it would
die.
Tho duke, however, consoled him by
saying that he would himself see tho toad
well fed. anil bv further promising to
lot the bov hear as to its welfare. Dnr
Inir the tiitiu the boy was away at schpoi
ho received no less than five autogiapl
letters similar to that given above, ami
when he returned for the Christmas
holidnys the toad was still alive to glad
den his heart. Tho story is oven more
delightful than that of tho duke's indig
nation when hi- found that a party
of children at Strathiieldsaye among
whom, we believe, was the present
prime minister were having their u-u
without .1am. The incident roused him
to immediate action, and he at onct

that "children's tea" was never to be

The syndicate shoe blacking on the
Pennsylvania ferryboats is not a success
Tho company receives if2.U00 tor tli
privilege from tho padrone who employ
the boys who nominally polish passen
gers' boots. The padrone is a regular
slave driver, and tho boys in order to
satisfy his demands try to polish thm
nalra of boots on one passage, lite
aro not able, in the time occupied by tlio
ferryboat in crossing, to give moro than
a fow daubs of blacking and a hurried
brushing, and by the time tho passenger
gets to Uroadwny his boots aro dull and
dirty.
The boys aro also very persistent, 1111
ing tho cabius with their calls until they
liavo become a regular nuisanco. It was
a sorry day for the railroad's reputation
when it sold this privilege to tho Ital
ians. Meanwhile the padrone is clear
lug about $a a day out of every boy. He
gives them $1 a week and keeps two on
each bout. It is estimated that tho pad
rone makes if 10.000 per annum on tho
Pennsylvania boats alone, besides largo
sums on the Staten Island boats and tho
other North river ferryboats. Now York
