THE VALUE OF BEAUTY.
It Ia Lessened by tja Growing
Respect for Edilatlon,
I'lnln Utrlii Are I'li.ntlful li Vhn They
Are Clever Their Plalnaa Ia Not
Bo Much Noticed by
Tent Men,
Ugly girls! Happily tiy are rare.
Plain girls they are in pl
fty; and per
haps, ou the whole, it is utter for the
peace of mankind tliat tlty should be
in the majority. Butabsoli ; downright
ugliness is seldom met h. Irregu
larity, insignificance or unt of har
mony in the features is nt sufficient
to constitute ugliness. ; high fore
head is nowadays univenlla- consid
ered a misfortune, says tl New York
Advertiser. Our great- -andfathers
considered it quite the everse. A
pasty complexion is, no do tt, a calam
ity; so is the long upper ip, and so is
the large chin. But a gi; 's face may
have one of these charaiteristics. It
may even possess them all without be
ing positively ugly. Arl intelligent
mind and a gentle spirit nay do won
ders in transforming a pije face, and
making it, if not beautiful at least at
tractive. And the proof o: this is the
often-noted fact that man plain, and
even ugly, girls are led t the altar,
while their handsomer sitters inspire
admiration without winnlig love. It
is when plain or badly-foned features
are the home of stupiditjl when they
are unillumined by a spark (f sense or a
ray of generous feeling) that they
form a truly ugly face, puch faces
there are, and there are alt) faces cast
by nature in so bad a mold that noth
ing will render them attkvetive, any
jiore than a deformed figure can be
rendered comely; but such ugliness is
almost as rare as beauty itslf.
A curious change has cone over the
ninds of men in respect to tho beauty
if women; they seem to vilue it less
than they did; and this in spite of the
atct that beauty has of latt years be
:ome rarer than ever. In the last cen
ury men would Imperil their lives
;heerfully for the mere privilege of be
ng considered beauty's champion.
Men do not toast reigning belles now;
.here are no reigning belles to toast.
Vhere are the love songs? Herriek
:nd Burns and Heine have no modern
jompeers. The chief reason for the
lecline in the value man put upon
beauty is, no doubt, the superior edu
cation of the nineteenth century girl.
Men have, by slow degrees, learned to
lake pleasure in the society of women
who are mentally their equals,
whether they are fair to look upon or
not. Many clever women really do
not seem to care two straws whether
they are fcoui looking o ill 1-vikinfr.
Their lives do not tend even to the
preservation of such traces of 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 tho
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 curry off her ugliness under a
rattle of words and a constant llow of
good spirits, is very much to be pitied.
But there are some 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, so 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
;f 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 unplcasing, 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 tfirl 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 of a party. It is undoubtedly
one of the distinctive murks of the
gentleman that lie pays a woman all
the little attentions that tiie usages of
society require of him, whether she is
young or old, handsome or ugly.
Men often excuse theaiselves 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. Hut the
ugly girl is not without excuse. The
consciousness that no man or woman
cares to look at her face u second time,
joined to the sensitiveness she has ac
quired, is apt to sour her temper; and
thi?, in its turn, tends to increase her
ugliness. Yet it is a singular fact tliat
if a raon. for any reason, pays worked
atVniion to a pl.-iiu girl, she is apt to
luld her chin half oo inch birjher In
the air than a (rood-lookintr girl would
do timW the siiin.; oirc'irnr-tnncc. It
would be futile to inquire into the rea
sons of this tendency r.a the part of
ugly girls to give themselves airs; but
the fact is patent to all men.
WITH THE WHIP.
Re FUckd the Revolver From tha Staff
Bobber's Hand..
"Thar, if quit a difrae Utum ;
t&fing in the early days of the at&ta
and now," said William Miller, the
owner of the stage line running from
Cazauero to L'kiah, to a San i'raneisco
Call man.
"When I came here from Boston in
1854, I drifted about a bit, and finally
went into the scrvix of Charles Mc

"I remember onee, in a lonely const
range canyon, through which the road
wound, we had a little experience that
was thrilling for the moment. It was
about ten o'eloek and a moonlight
night. I was just putting the horses
through. The stage was full of pas
sengers, and there was a heavy treasure
box,
"Just as I got around a liend in the
road I saw the figure of a man on
horseback standing by the side of the
road, lie yelled to stop, and I saw a
gun barrel gleam in the moonlight.
The horses were goinpr at a speed that
might be called breakneck, and 1 just
made up my mind to take the chances
of getting through. I saw the gun
raised to the fellow's shoulder as we
approached. I hat! my long whip iu
my hand, and with a desperation born
of peril of the moment I made a vicious
swipe at him.
"I don't know how it occurred, but
the lash wound itself around the gun.
and as we dashed by the whip was
drawn taut, and I kuew it had caught,
so held fast. I was nearly pulled out
of my seat, but the gun was dragged
from the robber's hand and fell to the
ground, at the same time it was dis
charged by the shock. It rattled along
the road for quite a distance before the
whiplash unwound Itself. I don't know
what the highwayman thought, but
1 11 bet he was surprised.
TREASURES OF JEYPORE.
Splendor of the Halts of Some of the
Noble l'ulaues
Myriad slender shafts of blue-veined
alabaster and rose-tinted stone sur
rounded by fretted arcades carried out
the prevailing idea of airy lightness,
and the snowy cupolas above that sanc
tum snnctoriuai in the heart of the
building known as "the Crown of the
Palace" look as though a breath would
carry them away like balls of thistle
down into the blue vault of Heaven.
Priceless treasures ure contained with
in the walls of the maharajah's prince
ly abode, and a volume of the Mahab
harata, one of the two great epic poeins
of ancient India, is the gem of the his
toric collection. This curiously illum
inated manuscript, written in Persian
character, was executed by the com
mand of Emperor Akbar, who paid a
lac of rupees, a sum equivalent to
forty thousand pounds sterling, to the
scribe who accomplished the laborious
task. Golden margins and brilliant
colors plow with unfaded freshness,
and the delicacy of the poetical cali
graphy suggests the utmost refinement
of culture. Antique portraits on silver,
copper, shell and foil decorate the mar
ble walls of the "Hall of Splendor,"
which forms a noble vestibule to the
Shish Mahal, a glass pavilion glisten
ing with crystal chandeliers multiplied
by rellection in countless mirrors. Mar
ble alcoves overlook a green plaisance
shaded by a plantation, where tho scar
let stars of blossoming poinsettins
brighten the gloom of the banyan trees,
which form a roof of verdue with inter
lacing boughs.
BELIEVES IN MAGIC.
The Indian flas tlome Ctirtone Notions
About I'lunts and Animals.
Very reluctantly do civilized Indians
give up their ideas of magic. The idea
of worshiping growing objects is quite
a settled one among the tribes, and
some of the stories which connect corn
and flowers with beneficent deities are
very pleasing and attractive. Animals,
too, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
are spoken of in a very singular und
superstitious manner, and the different
sizes of beasts which are hunted is ac
counted for in a story of the creation
which is even more realistic and prac
tical than the one told in the first chap
ter of Genesis. This story, which is
frequently repeated with variations, is
that at the time of the creation all the
beasts of the field and forests clamored
for priority in size. Each was va in
glorious and dictatorial, and one after
another was being humbled by being
made smaller than a hated enemy, the
idea being that everything human and
otherwise that was born had a prior
existence anil came into the world with
the benefit of experience thus derived.
The doctrine of the transmigration of
souls is. so general among Indians of
various tribes that there was nothing
at all peculiar about this, and it is very
probable that some of the early writers
on this subject got their ideas from ex
ceptionally intelligent exponents of In
dian Buddhism, or something very simi
lar to it.
Chinese Moarnfng.
The monthly bills of the Washington
Gas Light company are printed on paper
of a peculiar dirty yellow tint which
happens to be the exact hue of the Chi
nese emblem of mourning. The long
strips are left regularly at the doors of
nil houses in the city, and at the Chi
nese legation among the rest. Just
after the change in ministers the strip
was left as usual in the vestibule of
the legation, and, being carried to the
new minister, affected hira profoundly.
It was evidently intended, lie thought,
as a notification of somebody's death,
and as it was left at the legation door
it doubtless indicated the bereavement
of some family high in official life.
The minister at onoe gave orders to
close tho house. The usual instru
ments of mourning were brought out,
tho shutters were drawn, and passers
by for the remainder of the evening
were rogaled by a combination of curi
ous noises, such as the Chinese only
know how to utter when engaged In
bewailing the dead.

of. Napoleon's day, says the Chicago

t'apt. de Marbot, owned a mare named
"l.izette," noted in peace or war for
vieiousness under certain provocation.
Once, with her master on her back,
she was surrounded by Russians. A
huge grenadier made a lunge at Marbot
with his bayonet, but Lizetle dis
patched him with tigerish ferocity,
using only her teeth. Afterward she
backed off, clearing with her iron heels

.ier Hanks, then wheeled, dragging
lowu to death beneath her hoofs an
tllcer as she did so, and darting
li rough the astonished crowd to a
place of safely. In that brief encoun
ter she killed two Russians outright
and crippled several others with her
heels, and it all came from a cruel bay
onet thrust that aroused all the poor
creature's latent freuzy.
SHE WAS PENURIOUS.
The Pony's shiHtt Were Just aa Good aa
New so Klie Saved Them.
Lord Chancellor Eldon was ener
getically aided in his parsimonious
habits by his wife, of whom it was
:;aid that she and her daughter had
but one bonnet between them. Rev.
It. II. Ilnrhnm. author of "The Ingolds
Viy Legends," recorded in his diary an
amusing story of Lady KUlon's penuri
ousness. June 1, 1832. The chancellor Is very
fond of shooting. One morning last
year his lordship. Intending to enjoy a
few hours' sport after a rainy night,
ordered "Hob," the pony, to be sad
dled. Lady Kldon told him he could
not have it, but company being in the
room, gave no reason. In a. few min
utes, however, the servant ripened the
door und announced thut "llob" was
ready.
"Why, bless mod" cried her ladyBhip,
"you can't ride him, Lord Eldon, he
has got no shoes on," i
"Oh, vesl inv lady," said the servant;
lie was shod liust week."
"Shameful!" exclaimed her ladyship.
"How dared you, sir, or anyliody
have that pony shod without orders?
John," continued she, addressing her
husband, "you know you only rode
him out shooting four times last year,
so 1 had his shoes take u off, and have
kept them in my bureau ever since.
They are hs good as new, and these
people have shod him ngain; we shall
be ruined at this rate!"
HE WANTED WORK.
And Ha Climbed to the Summit of Ban
NevU to Find It.
An early tourist has brought down a
curious story from the top of lien
Nevis. It is thus told in a Scotch pa
per: One afternoon last winter the as
sistants in the observatory were some
what startled by a knock at the door
a most unusual occurrence at that sea
son of the year. The visitor turned out
to be a tramp from London. His
clothes were frozen stiff and his beard
was a mass of ice. After having been
warmed and fed he astonished the
hospitable winterers on the Hen by in
forming them that he had come up in
search of work. When at the foot of
the mountain some one had advised him
with rather grim humor to try Ben
Nevis observatory. Thus it was tliat
he came to climb the four thousand and
some hundred odd feet The assist
ants, after replenishing his wardrobe
and supplying him with a good store
of food, sent him off on his downward
way, so that he had no cause to grum
ble at being the 'victim of a practical
joke.
ACID FOR" MAKING SUGAR.
A Cartons Proems Which Has Met with
Some Kaeeeea la Frane.
A very novel method of making sugar
has been patented in France by M.
Pellegrini, says the American Archi
tect. .Sugar is, chemically, a compound
of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, in
such proportions that if carbonic acid,
water and certain kinds, of illumin
ating gas could be persuaded to unite,
In the proper quantities, the composi
tion of sugar would be exactly imi
tated. Hitherto no one has been able
to make sugar by mixing water with
two kinds of gas, but M. Pellegrini
claims to have succeeded. The ap
paratus he uses consists of a large block
of pumice stone, cleansed by soaking,
first in sulphuric acid and then in wa
ter, which is set in an iron box plated
with nickel inside. The length of tho
box ia three tiroes that of the pumice
stone block, which U tightly fitted into
the middle, and pipes are arranged to
convey the Ingredient to the empty
ends of the box, a required. Two of
them enter from the aides, and serve
to bring carbonic acid and hydro-carbon
gas, while another pipe from above
branches so as to reach both empty
portions of the box and conveys steam.
All the pipes are fitted with valve and
pressure gacuro.
Anothsr pip, at tha bottom of tha
box, serves as an outlet. At tint this
pipe is closed, as is also the steam pipe
from above, and carbonic acid is forced
into one end of the box, while ethylene
gas is forced into tho other, under equal
pressure and in equal volumes. A few
minutes later the steam valve above
is opened and the steam forced in
oader the tame pressure. At tha tfajo

supply of each must be kept constant.
At the end of half an hour the supply
of gas is shut off, the outlet pipe is
opened and one of the chambers is
found to be filling with syrup, con
taining twenty-five per cent, of sugar.
The syrup is drawn off for refining,
and as soon as the apparatus is cool it is
ready for a fresh charge. The ethylene
gas can be obtained by roasting rosin
or 'grease, but M. Pellegrini's patent
covers other hydro-carbons, such as
petroleum products. The explanation
is that the three gases are condensed
In the pores of the pumice stone and
there unite; but M. Maumene, who has
made some experiments, declares this
to be doubtful, and lu Cosmos expresses
doubt as to the success of the process.
THE GREEN CORN DANCE.
How It Is Conducted Amona; the Potta
watomla Indians In Kansas.
The Pottawatomie Indians are at
present having their annual "green
corn dance" on their reservation, about
twenty miler north, of town. The
green corn dance is a celebration to
the Indian deity on the arrival of the
green corn, as the name suggests, says
the Topcka Journal. Tho dance lasts
day and night for sometimes as long as .
eight days, though of late years tho
limit has been shortened as civiliza
tion approached. It will probably
soon die out altogether.
Of course the braves they alone do
the dancing do not dance all this time
without rest. The dance simply keeps
up that long, different braves dancing
while others rest. The exercises are
conducted in a ring not unlike the cir
cus ring. The participants are dressed
in all the grotesque costumes of the
race, with feathers, beads and furs.
The braveB are seated around the edge
of the ring with faces to the center.
The music, which consists of several
Indians beating on one skin drum in
the middle of the ring, you could not
distinguish, but there must be some
tune about the noise, for the players
always Rtrike together without a
break. The dance which consists of
contortions of the body that only an
Indian is capable of and hideous imita
tions of the cries of wild animals last
continuously for about half an hour,
and then the music stops, while one of
the braves in tho ring makes a speech,
always in the Indian tongue.
The squaws' part of the programme
lies in taking care of the babies and
cooking a green-colored liquid from
the corn, which Is brought Into the
ring in tin buckets steaming hot, and
from which the dancers take refresh
ment. 4
FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
Koman Flute Players, B, c. 300, Mueresnrul
ly Resented ICxvliislon from a banquet.
Livy, in his famous book, "The An
nuls," ix., 3H, relates in tho following
suggestive words the story of a singular
strike which occurred at Rome in the
year .100 II. C, and was probably the
first strike ever known:
"That year occurred an event lit
tle worthy of being related and which
I would pass in silence hud it not ap
peared as Involving religion. The flute
players, dissatisfied because the latest
censors hud forbidden them to take
part in the oanquet in Jupiter's tem
ple, according to the ancient custom,
withdrew, every one of them, to Tibur,
so that nobody was left at Home to
play during the sacrifices. This inci
dent shocked the religious sentiment
of the senate, and tho senators sent
messengers to invite the inhabitants of
Tibur to make every effort in order
that the players should bo restored to
the Romans. The Tiburtines, having
promised not to neglect anything
necessary for that purpose, caused the
flute players to come to tho place
where tho senate met and exhorted
them to go back to Rome. Seeing that
they could not prevail upon them to do
Hi) they employed a stratagem In keep
ing with their character. On a day of
festival, under the pretext that music
would Increase the joy of the feast,
every citizen invited the flute players
individually to his house, and wine, of
which people of that profession are
usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into a
deep sleep. They were thrown Into
wagons and transported to Rome.
They only became aware of what had
happened on the day ufter, when dawn
surprised them lying on the carts,
which had been left In the foruin. A
large crowd hail assembled and they
were induced to promise that they
would remain at Rome. The right of
attending the banquets was restored to
these flute players."

of the emperor of Germany, he deter

on one of thee occasions he found that
many of tho officers and men were on
