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.

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

Mecredy, Ireland's foremost rider, re
cently suffered a severe fall and will
probably stay at home, and McLaren.

Osmond, who was England's cham

some of his laurels to Zimmerman by
default last year, is now in Chinnim

wants to see him win or lose on his
merits can be realized. 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

the heavy man that his broad shoulders

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

Should Osmond determine to com

Jane never stopped to think of the

owned two or three railroads, and she

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

"Ah, my friend, did you wish to see

"Not particularly," replied the stran

"Because you asked me to stay."
