FASCINATING PARISIENNES. ' A French Traveling; Man 8ays They Are Miracles of Instinct. The representative of a Paris sillc house was telling; a little party of friends at the Auditorium, one day last week, how the Parisian woman man ages to render herself fascinating; in spite of natural disadvantages. "An Englishwoman Is beautiful by nature or not beautiful," said he. "A Parisienne can rarely compete with the beautiful Englishwoman in features or in complexion and purity of skin, but she exerts such an effort of will in making herself fascinatinsr that she often surpasses her rival in spite ol natural disadvantages. Take Kaehel, for instance. Nature gave her a thin face with a large and prominent fore hea 1, deep set eyes, a sunken mouth, a pointed chin, a scraggy ho ly and lean arms. Out of ' h.t. natural materials the little Jewess, by dint of genius, will, passion,' love and gold spent on beautiful objects, made the Rachel that men will ever remember a woman of Cmth or of Syracuse, wit!i the earessor ing gest-iro of .1 statue by (,'oysevax, the hi tens! iy ol' a water color by Ja varni, life that always caught, ami re flected its light, and in his sombsr eyes the subtle flames of int.!lii;;enee. "In ths I'riris:an:io, frxn the shop girl t ) tk.; .7ra,nd flume, Visrs seems to be an iiniata cu) t of her person, a re spect of her flesh, a pride in her sil houette and bearing, and, withal, a constant effort to refashion and re make herself in accordance with a mar velous Ideal of boauty, grace, elegance and youth; to take from antiquity, from the east, from all ay-es and all countries, that which has constituted their peculiar elegance and then to re duce those elements of elegance to the Parisian formula. "Every Parisienne is a living, work of art, the product of a mysterious collaboration Tof surrounding influ ences, some stored in the galleries of the Louvre museum, others acting and living in the sculptors, the painters, the poets, the Aspasia and the Phrynes of the day, and in the development of that refined and unmoral institution which is the privilege of the Latins. The creation of a Parisienne is a mira cle of instinct. There is no other ex planation. " LIGHT HAIR AND GENIUS. Appearanoes Would Seem to Indicate That They J'wo Go Together. It has long been an accepted fact that the great men of this world, in war, statecraft, or the arts, have all been abdominal men. Therei have been a few exceptions there always are. Some one has even pointed out that ous still, according to the New York Commareial Advertiser, is the fact that the first rer.f isite for political suc cess is that one must be a light-haired or red-haired man. ' There may seem to be a contradiction in the other fact that all the members of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, barring Mr. Lamont, are dark haired men; it is merely seeming. Up to the time Mr. Cleveland first sat down hard upon the presi dential chair only three men of dark complexion had ever filled the office of president of the United States. In the Hmithsonian institute in Washington Is a collection of tresses clipped from the heads of our rulers, lied and gray hair, yellow and red brown hair, from Washington to the stout gentlcnfan under whom the presidential chair now creaks, there has been a line of blonde -twenty light men and three dark men. Ma. Moses r. liandy, wnose whiskers are rufous, says that red hair the outward and visible sign of genius. Mr. Cleveland sits soft and says nothing, but there is good reason to believe that he looks upon his light stubby mustache as a mascot. The one thing certain is that he must have a mascot concealed about him some where. Were this not so he would be impossible. Just a few of the red sen ators are Vest, of Missouri; Blackburn, of KeDtucky; Don Cameron, of Penn sylvania, and Brice, of rJew York and Ohio. Senator Frye, of Maine, is a blonde. Gov. Flower has red hairs in the lit tle whiskers that lie like parenthesis marks on either side of his good- natured face. Iilue-eyed "Billy" Shee nan, the lieutenant governor, is a man of light complexion. So is Senator Murphy. LITERARY NOTES. M. Pikbre Loti has a penchant for dedicating his books to prominent la dies.

The Great Meet at Chicago; Au gust 5 to 12. A Milwaukee Rider and Osmond to Repre sent England's Wheelmen Some Amer ican Cracks International Cycling; Champloushlp Medal. Special Chicago Lotter.l Walter C Sanger is to represent England in the international cycling championship races, which will occur in Chicago on the two last days of the national annual meet of the League of American Wheelmen, August 6 to 12. This much is announced upon the au thority of a letter received by the national racing board a few days ago from Henry Stormey, editor of the Cyclist, of London, and leader in the movement to raise funds with which to ZI.MMKn.MAX.

Well, Sanger can represent Great Britain to the queen's taste. He is an American, and a Milwaukee American at that, his family being of sturdy Teutonic stock, though the name is English. Whether other representa tives of the British isles will be pres ent in Chicago during the great meet is now uncertain. Harris, who was looked upon as Sanger's sure conqueror in the race for the English one-mile championship, but who failed, was to tie sent, out has decided not to come. Mecredy, Ireland's foremost rider, re cently suffered a severe fall and will probably stay at home, and McLaren. the speedy Scot, will almost certainly do the ame. Osmond, who was England's cham pion of champions in 1891, but who lost some of his laurels to Zimmerman by default last year, is now in Chinnim and is training diligently. 00 me international character of what will undoubtedly be the Greatest cycle race meeting ever held will really uepenu upon one man Osmond. The American public will refuse to take Sanger, "English chamoion." KeriniiR- ly. It will insist upon regarding him as Sanger, plain American and, next to SANGER, p soil ino uncertainty airman, the ouurr. "There .

He began work on Chicago's fine boulevard sys tem about two months ago, taking omparatively leisurely rides in com pany with friends and hastening the pace a bit toward the close to induce perspiration. When the new track was completed he began training there. He has no trainer, believing that he nows his physical ubility and require ments better than aiiy other man, and he employs a young Englishman mere ly as a "rubber," or massage operator. lis custom has been to clothe his long form in warm woolens and grind off from ten to fifteen miles at a gait slightly under three minutes to the mile. When clad in gray jerseys ana an odd, conical terra cotta fez, he cuts JOHNSON. rather a comical figure astride nis wheel, the bulge of his slender but comparatively short back completing in impish aspect wliien migtit, nave been likened to that of an overgrown brownie. A few days ago he stopped nluL'irine'" anil set a faster pace for the long string of local riders who in variably fall in behind him when he trains. He now wears a neat fitting, abreviated but modest suit of cream colored jerseys which does not weigh more than two pounus ana wnicu ui tinctly shows the play of his slender, fine-fibcred muscleB. Osmona is not the heavy man that his broad shoulders and extraordinary height would lead one to suppose when he is seen in street clothes. He is a human grey hound and no mistake, weighing one hundred and sixty-five pounds. The most noticeable feature of his riding is developed when he is contrasted with American riders who train with him. Not one of them has that dainty smoothness of pedaling for which Osmond is famous, and to their credit be it said that they do not ride with open mouth, as the big Englishman does Should Osmond determine to com pete with Zimmerman and Sanger it may be relied upon that he will be a dangerous man to bet against, for he is cautious in preparation and will be mastei ly in execution. Can Zimmerman, be beaten? It is a hurd question, lie is a marvel and the flying quarter-mile record would have to be placed at a phenomenally low figure in order to win from him in the last Ion"1 rush of a mile rnce. That WEEKLY WO. VCS.I SEMI-WEEKLY NO. II Bakin Sanger cannot cope with him is very generally believed, although experts who have observed the Milwaukeean closely of late have had this opinion severely shocked by the man's evident great power. He is a giant, but his muscles are as supple and his life as simple as though he were a slender stripling. He can drive a high gear with a smooth, swift rush before which Johnson, the grand-stand favorite of this early season, went down like a reed at Sandusky and Toledo, a few days ago. The big guns of the international tournament will be Osmond, Zimmer man, Sanger and Johnson. The latter may again succumb to J. P. Bliss, known as the American cycling ."Pocket Her cules," and undoubtedly the speediest and pluckiest rider in Chicago. He is a red-headed, bantam-like chap who weighs 145 pounds, though he does not look it. He shows remarkable fierce- international cycling championship medal one-half exact size. ness in finishing hard races and has now repeatedly vanquished Johnson. A host of other fine riders is on the American path this season, and in the lot may be discovered several men who will effectually battle with the popular leaders for supremacy. Gary is a Bos ton product of this season who has run away from Windle, Tyler and Taylor, who were among the invincibles last year. Altogether, the international races may be anticipated with lively interest by all who feel a pride in the development of physical America.

But the climate did not agree with her. The doctors told her that if she came back to California she would get well. So she wrote to her old employer and asked him to fur nish her with transportation. With out thinking much about it, but, ready to oblige his old servant, he wrote on a sheet of note paper: "Please pass Jane from New York to San Francis co," signed it, and sent it to her. Jane never stopped to think of the peculiar form of the pass, or that it might not be recognized by some of the railways over which Bhe was to travel. She knew that her old master owned two or three railroads, and she had an idea that he owned one all the way to New York. So she got on the train, and when the conductor came around handed out the sliD of paper. He looked at it, then at her, and didn't know what to do. There was Leland Stanford's signature, and he didn't like to dishonor that. So he tele graphed for instructions, and his su periors told him to send the woman right through, and she came. San B'rancisco Examiner. Where Mermaids Are Really Seen. In the time of Alexander the Great and afterwards under the Seleucidie, the ancient Greeks became acquainted with the northwestern part of India. Among other things they heard that the seas about Ceylon were peopled with mermaids. In this case, as in the case of so many other wonderful tales, there was a certain amount of truth underlying the fiction, for these seas are peopled by creatures as big or bigger than human beings, which have a habit, of raising themselves up verti cally out of the water, when they present a very startling appearance to an unscientifically critical eye. As tonished travelers behold beings with rounded, human looking heads, show ing their body down to the bust out of the water, displaying a pair of round ed breasts, and not seldom holding a baby in their arms. But the creature thus seen is as different in temper and habit from the fabled mermaid as it is in body. Instead of seeking to seduce the unwary voyagers to visit its home beneath the waves, in order there to devour them, the dugong (for that is the name for this sort of mermaid) browses peacefully on seaweed, and is as harmless as it is curious. Types of Animal Life. He Was One of Them. "The board will please remain after the congregation is dismissed," said Rev. Mr. Harps. After the congregation had filed out the minister observed that a stranger still kept his seat. "Ah, my friend, did you wish to see me?" asked the good man. "Not particularly," replied the stran ger. "Then, pardon me, but why are you waiting?" "Because you asked me to stay." "I am sorry, but you are mistaken. I asked the board to remain." "vH T m n-iof he bored." Life.
