Greeian Beauty.

Much has been said in praise of Greco
ian beauty. and the men are handsome
in every sense OF the word. We might
well imagine them to have been models
of Phidias and Praxiteles. Their large
eyes. black as jet, sparkle with chances
of fire, while the long. silky eyelashes
soften the expression and give dreamy
appearance of melancholy. Their teeth
are small, white and we'll set, o fine
regular profile, pale olive complexion
and tall, elegant figure realize an ac-
complished typo of distinction. As to
the women, they seem to have left
physical perfection to the men; some
possess fine eyes and hair, but as rule
they have bad figures, and some defect
in the face generally spoils the good
features. 1t is among them, however,
that the old Oriental customs are most
strictly preserved; while the men are
gradually undergoing the process of
civilization they, in moral point OF
view, remain stationary. and are just
as they were fifty years ago. 1t may.
indeed, be said that, with the exception
of Athens, the women possess no indi-
vidual existence. and count as nothing
in society. The men have reserved
every privilege for themselves, leaving
10 Inelr nelpma6eS the care Oh tue uouso

ants are kept, they are of the poorest

and receive miserable wages. The

How Russia is Governed.

The governing forces of Russia are
very fmperfectly understood in this
country. Among these governing bod
les is, in the first place, the Council of
State. Composed of The highest digni-
taries of the Empire, all appointed by
the Gar, this body plays the role of a
legislature. 1t is supposed that all the
laws of the country are framed by it.
but, in fact, nothing of the kind ever
takes place. The council is not an as
sembly of legislators; it is rather an
asylum for the ex-miniSters and ex-gen-
erals who, through age and infrmities,
have become unfit for active service.
If, perchance, an energetic and ambi-
tious person enters this discrepit coun-
Gil he may easily acquire great inf1u-
ence. Then comes the governing SEN
ate, the highest Judiciary tribunal in
Russia. When he created the senate,
Peter the Great left at its disposal the
imperial crown itself. But. as the sem
ators were not elected but appointed by
the Gear, they naturally became the
obedient tools of the administration,
and soon lost all political power. Now
the senate is nothing but mere wheel
in the complicated bureaucratic ma
chine. His majesty's own chancellery,
formerly composed of the four sections,
must not be overlooked. 1t is true, the
chancellery has lost its prestige (and
most of its odium) since the abolition
of the third section-the Russian inqui-
sition. But its dreadful power may be
resurrected at any time. though per-
haps in different shape. The chief of
the state police naturally becomes the
master of the Gar, and, therefore, he
stands above the laws of the country.
The minister of the interior is at pres
ent the chief of the state police, and,
therefore, the minor Czar-that is, the
real ruler of the country. The COM
mitee of ministers has absorbed the
powers both of the council and of the
senate. AS the ministers are irrespen-
sible, each of them is a real autocrai
in his own branch of the government.
And, as there are no well defined limits
between the different branches, there
is no end of collisions and wars in the
administration, and there is no ade-
quate authority to settle rival ministers
al pretensions. The Gar, council, SEN
ate and ministers can merely issue
ukases and orders, whereas the iudg-
ment of the ukases and orders is the
special function of q strong and we'll
organized body called the bureaucracy.
The Russian bureaucracy is an omnip.
otent, ubiquitous, omniscient institu-
ton. In the Cars country nothing
can be done without the bureaucratic
machine, and everything is done in the
way prescribed by the machine The
bureaucrats form. caste by themselves
and no individual minister or Gar car
change the traditions and character o.
this caste. Philadelphia Telegraph.

Tahla Manners.

It is not now the custom. as It used
20 be, to wait until every one is helped;
haste or impotence are out OF place,
but It Is proper to eat whenever the
food is placed before one One Is not
expected to ask twice for soup. fish, or
salad, and is seldom helped second
time to desert.
Preference for white or dark meat,
rare or well done, should be expressed
without hesitation, and all food taken
or declined promptly and in courteous
terms. Well-bred people never handle
the glass, silver or china unnecessa rily,
or the food; they never make bread
pills, or drink or speak with food in
their mouths, or leave the table while
eating, or complain of the dinner.
When the child is strong enough TO
manage fork, give him one instead of
q spoon, and when the dignity of a
knife is arrived at. teach him the use
of it, and also, when done with the
knife and fork, to hay them in close
parallel across the plate, the handles to
the right.
Teach him to use spoon properly
to lay it in the saucer while he drinks
his tea noiselessly, (holding the cup by
the handle), TO leave it in the saucer If
the cup is to be re-filled. and to place it
in the empty cup when done.
Young people should not be allowed
to flourish their bread in the air while
spreading it with butter; it is to be laid
on the plate; neither should they sop
up gravy or soup with lots of bread, or
scrape their plates clean or tilt their
soup plates in order to drain them dry,
or take the meat or bones with their
finn oh ha fra.
ly wiped before drinking, and the glass
or goblet lifted without putting the fin
gers over the brim.
Table manners forbid all unnecessary
Gathering of knives and forks. Salt is
taken on the knife, which is tapped on
the fore finger of the left hand, instead
of the fork. The hand is the proper
medium for removing grape skins and
fruit pits from the mouth to the plate,
and the napkin should hide all use of
the toothpick.
Vegetables are generally eaten with
fork or a spoon. Asparagus may be
taken in the fingers; water-cresses, cell
cry, radishes and olives are always so
eaten. Cheese is generally taken with
q fork.
Economical b ousewives cover the ia
BILE with a square of baize, canton fam
mel, or cloth of some kind, over which
the linen one is spread; this improves
the appearance, keeps the cloth from
wearing at the edges OF the table, and
prevents noise.
However one may economic in
household labor, good taste and much
painstaking should govern the appoint
ments of the table and dining-room.-
An attractive table is a good appetizer
and has something to do with good be-
havior. Human nature is easily affect
ed by the atmosphere with which it is
surrounded; children cannot be expect
ed to behave well in an hour given over
to fretfulness, disorder and furry.
Table manners for the housekeeper be-
gin in seeing that her table is neat and
attractive, and calculated to inspire
cheerfulness; from it she should Danish
as far as possible, all vexations, cares
and worries.-C2dTd Francis.

Lions.

A recent traveller in Central Africa
saws: t.Lions are one of the greatest
dangers between Zanzibar and the
lakes. They sometimes hunt game in
packs of six to eight. Some animals
SHOW fight against them successfully.
Lions never venture to attack the adult
elephant, and even avoid the buffalo.
unless they are more than two to one.
In general they do not attack cara
vans, and never in daytime. AT most
hungry lion may spring upon and
carry eff q straggler while. passing
through the brakes and jungles. But
it is otherwise at night. When lions
scent the caravan from afar, particu-
larry if it contains goats or beasts OF
burden. they approach and announce
their vicinity by terrific roars. Never
theless. in weIl-inclosed camp there
is no danger; the lions never attempt
to clear the obstacles. and marksmen
from behind the palisades can pick
them off with almost unfailing aiin.-
There is danger only when the camp is
not completely inclosed, or when those
inside go out to attack them"
