BEAUTIFUL WoMEN.-One thing may
be particularly noticed in English women.
The mouth, when beautiful, is absolutely
statuesque. The curves are decided, and
at the juncture of the red of the lips
with the white, there is delicately
raised outline which marks the form of
the feature in very noble way. This
may also be said of the nostril. 1t gives
a chseed effect to those features, which
is not so often found elsewhere; but the
nose itself, the brow, and the set and
carriage of the head are generally finer
among Americans.
In both countries, however, the head is
apt to be too large for perfect proportion.
This is a characteristic defect of the Eng
ish type of beauty. Then, again, the
calculations are heavy. Really fine rrms
are rare; but fine wrists are still rarer.
Such wrist as the Viennoisc women
have are almost unknown among women
of English race in either country. 1t is
often said, even in England, that Ameri-
can women have more beautiful feet
than English women have. This may be
doubted. The feet may be smaller, but
they generally look smaller because Eng
lish women wear larger and heavier shoes.

The Newspaper.

OF all classes agriculturists should ap,
preciate a good newspaper. Living a re-
tired life-dcpriyed of and Isolated from
the society of the learned and cultured,
spending most of their time on the farm,
they must look to their paper as a
schoomastcr or educator for the special
AS we'll as tho passing events Of the day.
How all-important then that heir"paper''
should be wisely chosen. One that shall
not only give the important political and
national news of the day, but also contain
fresh rich lesson for every member OF
the household. 1t is wisely said that n
man can not read the Bible attentively
and honestly without becoming wiser and
better; on the other hand a man can
not perusc bad book without becoming
contaminated. Can man handle char
coal without soiing or crocking his fin
gers! Therefore the importance and the
responsibility is apparent to every head
of the family. Heaven consigns no high
err obligation upon the parent than TO
morally and intellectually school his
children. And they are, in the main,
educated" and nodded by the literature
and parental example and influence with
which they are surrounded. Then let 1t
I've pure" white as lily and fragrant as
the rose.
Heaven requires without exception that
every parent should bring up his children
in the way they should go, and if ever
this was duty and command is it not
now, when men in high position are
falling upon every hand! No tragedy
that Shakespeare ever wrote bears any
comparison to the tragedies that are taxi
ing place among US continually. There
are no such strange occurrences described
in ficticn as those which are witnessed in
actual life. Men are breaking down
men are ovcrtaken by all forms of evil,
and the air is murky with wickedneas.
Is no one to be aarmedl Is no one to
raise voice IT warningl Is no one to
pray for the imperiledl Is no one to res
cue those who are Fastening on to dcstruc-
ton? One could wish that we might re-
turn to the habits, fundamental princi-
Piles and virtue of our Puritan ancestors.
When virtue was rewarded and crime was
punished.-Rural Home.

IRISH PERTINACITY.-One of our res
taurants boasts of an Irish Munchausen
who acts in the humble capacity of waiter,
and adds much to the entertainment of
guests. One of them being served with
a small lobster, asked
"Do you call that lobster, Nike"
FAX, | believe they do be caalin thin
Holsters here, SURF. We call EN- crabs
at home"
"Oh," said the diner, you have Holsters
in Irelandl"

full of 'em. Many time have l seen

"How large do the Holsters grow in Ire
land2'

shpakc widin bounds, SURF, I'd say a
matter of five or six feet
What five or six feetl How do they
get around in those creeksl'
"Bedad, SURF, the creeks in Ireland are
fifty or sixty feet WIDE" said the una
Dashed Mike.
But" said the persistent inquirer, "you
said you had seen them when you were
leaping over the streams, and Holsters
here live in the sea-"
Deed l did, SURF; wore powerful lep-
pers in Ireland. As for the say, SURF, I've

"But look here, my fine fellow" said
the guest, thinking he had cornered the
Hibernian at last, ''lobsters are not red
until they are boiled"
"Doan't l know that" said Mike,
responsibility; "but there are tilin'
springs in the ould country, an they
shwim troo 'em, an come out ready for
We to crack open and ate;" and Mike
walked calmly off to wait upon the next
guest, leaving his interlocutor to digest
the lobster, and the story.

A Distressed Chinaman.

A late New York paper gives another
specimen of the droll accidents" always
happening to careless people in the neigh
borhood of Gagged monkeys:
Around the monkeys cages and the
giraffes' pen in the Aquarium are posted
various notices to the ladies, warning
them not to approach too near, lest the
animals seize their bonnets; yet the at
PENDANTS say that it frequently occurs
that some lady disregards the notices, and
her millinery suffers damages. Iester-
day, however, those in the Aquarium were
startled by sudden crash Of broken
china from the monkeys room, and, has
tcning thither, were greeted with re-
markable sight.
The noise, or SO much Of it as did not
consist of the chattcring of the animals,
came from the mouth of an Acknowledged
Chinese gentleman, in blue blouse and
black trowsers. lie stood with his back
to the cage in which the largest monkeys
are kept, and, with both his hands t. lis
head was struggling to tear himself away.
He was firmly held, however, by the pig
tail, which, firmly attached by nature to
the back of his head by the end, was al
most as firmly grasped at the other by as
many monkeys as could get hold of it.
The one at the tip end nibbled compla-
Gently at the new bow of ribbon that Sc
cured the hair, and the others were bias
pheming vigorously in their native
tongue. Competent authorities declare
that it is impossible to swear in the Chi
nese language. The gentleman who was
striving to gain his freedom seemed to
realize this, by the expression of his face.
He did the best he could, however, with
the imperfect language he did know. As
quickly a, they could, from laugh
ter, the attendants opened the cage
door, and one entering, beat off the mon
keys and rescued the gentleman. He
shook his fist vindictively ut the cage, and
hurried away without leaving his card,
while the baAed apes made din enough
toinduce the seals, tho hippopotamus and
all the birds to Join :he chorus.
