FACTS FOR THE CUgIoUs-FEMALE BEAUTY.
The following curious facts respecting female
beauty in the various countries of the world are
interesting They show how the standard of
beauty varies in different countries, and how
beauty itself, though depending upon general
laws. as certain as those which govern the uni
verse is, without any adventitous aid, appreciated
only in proportion as civilization advances, and
taste improves with intellectual cultivation:
"The ladies' of Arabia stain their fingers and
toes red, their eyebrows black, and their lips
blue. In Persia, they paint black strenk around
THE eyes, and ornament their faces with various
Figures. The Japanese women gid their teeth,
and those of the Indies paint them red The
peal of the teeth must be dyed black TO be beau
kiful in Guzurat. The Hottentot women paint
he entire body in compartments Gfred and black.
lIn Greenland the women color their faces with
blue and yellow, and they frequently tattoo their
bodies by saturating thread is SCOT, inserting
them beneath the skin, and then drawing them
through. Hindoo females, when they wish to
appear particularly lovely, smear themselves with
\ mixture Of seffron, tumeric and grease In
hearty all tie islands Of the Pacific and Indian
