with reference to the unfortunate dispute con-
corning the Office of Commissioner of Jurors,
is what might have been expected from a
public officer of worth and long service. 1t is

FASCINATIONS OF FAMOUS FEMININES

History is full Of the accounts of the fascina-
tions of women who were no longer young.
Thus, Helen of Troy was over forty when che
perpetrated the most famous elopement on re-
cord and as the siege Of Troy lasted decade,
she could not have been very juvenile when the
i'll fortune OF Paris restored her to her husband,
who is reported to have received her with un-
questioning love and gratitude. Perricles we'd
ded the courtezan Aspasia when SHE was thirty
six and yet she afterward-for thirty years or
more-wielded an undiminished reputation for
beauty. Cleopatra was past thirty when Antony
fell under her spell, which never lessened until
her death, nearly ten years after; and
Livia was about thirty-three whenshe won the
heart of Augustus, over whom she maintained
her supremacy to the last. Turning to more
modern history, where it is possible to verify
dates more accurately, we have the extraordinary
Diana de Poitiers, who WAS thirty-six when
Henry II. then Duke Of Orleans, and just half
her ge) became attached to her; and she was
held as the first lady and most beautiful woman
at the court up to the period Of the monarch's
death, and OF the accession to power Of Cathe-
rine of Medicis. Anne of Austria was thirty
eight when she was described as '.the handsomest
Queen in Europe" and Buckingham and Richie
lieu were her jealous admirers.
Minon De L'Enclos, the celebrated wit and
beauty of her day, was the idol of three genera
tons OF the golden youth OF France; and she
was seventy-two when the Able De Bernis fell in
love with her. True it is, that, in the case of
this lady, rare combination of culture, talents,
and personal attractions endowed their possessor
seemingly with the gifts Of eternal youth. Bianco
Capello was thi ty-eight when the Duke Fran
cisco Of Florence fell captive to her charms and
made her bis wife, though he was five years her
junior. Louis XIV. welded Madame de Main
tenor when she was forty two years old. Catha-
rine II. of Russia was thirty three when she
seized the empire of Russia and captivated the
dashing young General Orloff. Up to the
time Of her death lat sixty-seven) she
seemed to have retained the same be-
were heartfelt among all those who had ever
known her personally. Mademoiselle Mars the
celebr tied French tragedienne, only attained the
zenith of her beauty and power between forty
and forty-fve. At that period The loneliness of
her hands and arms especially were celebrated
throus hout Europe. The famous Madame Re-
camier was thirty eight when Barras was ousted
from power; and she was, without dispute, de-
clared to be the most beautiful woman in Europe,
which rank she held for fifteen years. Although
the list might be still further extended, our read
interested, especially-wil see from it
that woman need not lose her attractions,
though youth be gone; and, above all, that, if
her mind be cultured, her talents real, and her
heart kindly. she will retain power of never
fading fascination Exchange.

beard which remain sticking in the plaster, and
which, according to the opinion Of the famous
English anatomist Richard Owen, correspond in
their peculiar structure to those features Of the
mask where they are found. These hairs out OF
the beard Of Shakespeare also correspond in
their reddish brown with the color in which the
beard of the Stratford bust was painted. The
dirty yellow color of the oil with which the mask
is saturated is such as might be expected in
plaster cast two centuries old.
2. Upon the back Of the mask there is upon
the edge the inscription, "a. D., 1916" the year
Of Shakespeare's death. According to the
opinion Of experts, the figures are such as were
used at that time. They have not sharp, but
round edges, indicating that they were not cut in
afterward, but we're written with . stick in the
plaster while it was yet soft.
8. Although Goethe was in error when be
praised the beauty Of the formation Of Raphaels
Adjutori, Schaafhausen is confident that the
alleged death-mask Of Shakespeare must in any
event have been that OF q man OF very great I'M
poltance. He gives AL its measurements, and
especially dwells upon the unusual breadth OF the
forehead, which is AS miemetres. The features
of the mask are also those Of q man Of the age OF
fifty two, as Shakespeare was when he died.
4. One would suppose that the resemble &c OF
the mask would be the most important point
about it; but unfortunately the portraits of
Shakespeare are so perfectly di similar to each
other that the investigation of this subject is
difficult. The Strstford bust however, which, to
judge from the eyes, must have been executed
after death-mask, and whose artist probably at
tempted to give life to the sunken features Of the
corpse by an exaggerated fullness Of outline, has
very little resemblance to our mask, but it has,
like this, beard on the chin, while the most
trust worthy portrsits of the poet, and the cop
per-plate of Droeshout, which is prefxed to his
works and sung by Ben Johnson, does not accord
with the bust at all, but does accord with our
death mack in very high degree, except that in
the copper-plate the poet Is represented with
full beard.
The mask was found in 1S49 by Louis Becker
the painter, in the possession of bric-a-brac
dealer in Mayence. From 1849 till 1865 it was in
the possession Of Prof. Owen, in London, and,
after the death of Louis Becker, was restored to
his family in Darmstadt in whose hands it now
is. Prof Schaafhausen, who, as we have said,
has made the most jealous Investigations and the
most careful inquiries on all sides, has also in.
vestgated the history of the mask, bat his essay
gives only the chief points in it, and is not COM
plete.. He is, however, thoroughly convinced of
the genuineness OF the mask, and finally pleads
with zeal for com parison OF the mask with the
skull Of Shakespeare, which is still in existence
in the grave at StratfOrd.

This is particularly interesting number of
this valuable monthly. It contains treatises
on many interesting subjects. from the pens of

to the most interesting of things; but this inter-

Death in the "Spare Bed"

A writer in the Western Christian Id
vocate writes thus of the "spare bed"
which he had occasion to occupy:
On one occasion, having need to see
mirister early in the morning after con-
ference adjourned, l went to his boarding
place, one of the choicest in the city.
He and his roommate were making their
toilet, and revealed their presence by
hoarse and almost incessant coughing.
Their entertainment had been most hos
pitable; but they had been assigned to
the "spare room" in that case an elegant
apartment, reserved for favored guests
The spacious and yielding bed had an
inviting look, but a damp and moldy
smell. Indeed. the whole apartment re-
vealed an alarming unfamiliarity with
sunshine. But it was the "best room,"
and any intimation from them that both
room and bed were damp had seemed
rude and ungrateful. So they occupied
the room and bed, and contracted colds,
from the effects of which one has since
died, and the other still suffers. Said a
pale and haggard sufferer not long since,
III think l should be able to visit my
appointments at least few times more,
if the friends would not persist in put
ting me away in their chilly spare rooms
and damp beds" When such cases have
run their course, doctors may say, "Died
of hepitized lungs" but more will un'
derstand them if they say, "Died Of
sleeping in spare beds"
The motives Of good people can not be
questioned; but unwittipgly they liter
ally "kill them with kindness In the
name of the brotherhood protest if We
are to occupy the "spare room," anC
sleep in the "spare bed," they should b
dry and well aired. We certainly d.
not elect to be suicides for courtesy, anc
you would not give us death for a bed
fellow.

Tupper's Poetry.

The poetry of the Philadelphia Ledger,
much as it is scofed at, is the most prof
liable literature in Pennsylvania, and it
has its defenders. The writings of Mar
tin Farquhar Tupper have been ridiculed
everywhere, but somebody now says of
them in the New York Post: "Tastes
differ, and Mr.. Tupper has pleased and
delighted thousands of readers without
injuring them in any way whatever. He
has written what they wanted to read.
He has message for them, and however
unworthy or unimportant it may seem
to more critical persons, the message has
been good and wholesome at least, and
welcome, also, to those persons for whom
it was intended. The only fault the
most critical of critics has found with
Mr.. Tupper's verse is purely negative
one, and against this may surely be
pleaded in mis- behalf the positive pleas.
ure and benefit it has conferred upon
readers, who are to the critics as hun
dred to one in number"

Getting up on Cold Mornings.

Some people say itisa very easy thing to
get up on cold morning. You have only,
they tell you, to make the resolution and
the thing is done. This may be very
true, just as boy at school has only to
take fogging and the thing is over. To
get out of bed into the cold, besides the
inharmonious nature of the transition, is
so unnatural that the poets, refining the
fortunes of the damned, make one of their
greatest agonies consist in being sud-
denly transported from heat to cold,
" from fire to ice." "They are hauled
out of their beds" says Milton, "by
happy-footed fairies-fellows who come
to call them" A money.getter may be
drawn from his bed by few pence. A
proud man may say, "What shall ]
think of myself if don't get up ?" but a
more humble one will be content to
waive this prodigious notion of himself
out of respect to his kindly bed. Ar
ingenious lyer in bed will ask for oul
proofs and precedents of the i'll effects o.
lying later ON cold mornings, AND
sophisticate much on the advantages O.

A New York Steam Yacht in the Gulf.

Pensacola Gazette: The other day a
pretty little white thing of a steam
stranger ran up into our harbor, came to
the wharf and asked for coal and water.
Both were ready in tank and warehouse,
and the white yacht steamed away after
being supplied with what she required,
bound to the passes of the Mississippi.
We went aboard of her before she left,
and were informed by her master, Capt
Swift, that he was from New York and

SANTA CLAUS m rKounLE.
By MARY WILEY,

How very much I've wondered,
And Ger the problem ponderod,
While busy with my toys
ii should once grow sick or numb,
What ever could or would become
OF all the girls and boys!
Without Christmas they can't live,
So Santa Claus must work and give,
But oh, my labor's ponderous!
My wares, to gratify and please,
To give youth joy, and parents ease,
Must be both gocd and wondrous.
Rushing flood and widest panic,
Which startle banker and mechanic,
Dare never make me quail;
For not girl nor any boys
Could hold esteem for Santa Claus,
II once his funds should fail.
But I am growing old, my dears,
And cares increasing with the years
That multiply 90 fast
When ! was young teok my ease,
The children few nor hard to please,
How different was the pastl
I'm busy now both day and night;
plan and work with all my might
From one year to another;
Pve journeymen and prentice, too,
A helpful and industrious crew,
Who work like bees together.
I've many shops in every land,
Where busy head and busy hand
Fashion toys and fabrics rare;
Pve ships in sail on every sea,
That bring the precious goods to me,
Through all weather, foul and fair.
