A Woman's Whimg.

The Empress Josephine had six hun
dred Thousand francs fOr her personal cx-
pCnscs, but this sum was not sufficient
ard her debts increased to an appalling
extent. Notwithstanding the position CT
her husband, she could never submit to
either order or etiquette in hcr private
life. She rose at nine o'clock. Her toilet
consumed much time, and she laViShed
unWearicd efforts OH the preservation and
establishment OF her person. She chan
ged her linen three times day, and never
wore any stockings that were not new
Huge baskets were brought 20 her con-
taiuing different dresses, shawls and hats
From these she selected her costumes for
the day. She possessed between three
and four hundred shawls, and always
wore one i'll the morning, which she
draped about her shoulders with unequal
led grace. She purchased all that were
brought to her, no matter at what price.
The evening toilet was as careful as that
Of the morning; then she appeared with
flowers, pearls OF precious stones in her
hair. The smallest assembly was always
an occasion for her to order new cos
tune, in spite of the hoardes Of dressing
in the various palaces. BOnaparte was
irritated by these expenditures; he would
fly into passion, and his wife would
weep and promise to be more prudent,
after which she would go on in the same
way. 1t is almost incredible that this pas
sion for dress should never have exhaus-
ted itself After the divorce she arrayed
herself with the same care, even when
she saw no one. She died covered with
! ribbons and pale rose cOlored satin.

= No, and the Jones girls were all rugged

would have died laughing to have seen

Mormon Faces.
! STUDY OF FItVaICUN0NY AT 4 LATTER
DAY JU1FEEi.NGE,

DAY CO!IFEEi.NvE.
The observant student OF rhyaognomy
has a fine field for his study at the con
ference. There are three distinct types of
faces denoting stubbornness, ignorance,
and superstition. The stubborn face fist
strikes the observer. 4 forehead like the
end Of filbcrt, q crooked nose protrud-
ing under lip. Such faces belong to men
who will take the minority side Of any
Question and stick to it clean to the grave
Every town has some odd, cranky Charac-
ter who is willing TO bet $3.50 that the
world is fiat who denies that water will
seek its level, and if on 4 jury always
stands out against the other eleven. If he
ever has to leave his native town he will
fetch up in Salt Lake in the Mormon
Church to 4 dead certainty. He embraces
the faith, content to know that 9,999 out
of 10000 look upon it as the grandest
sham in the country. The superstitious
class have faces of another type entirely.
There is strength in the stubborn face,
but none i'll the supcrstitious. Their
under lips retreat; their chins arc hardly
Giscernible, and sitting with dilatcd eyes
and open mouths, they drink in the flood
of bOsh and drivel from the preachers.
absolutely believing that the meaningless
swash of language is the divine inspira-
ton of God. Then comes the vast arraV
of ignorant faccS--whOle rows Of men who
look like chimpanZees from the jungles Of
Central Africa; men with little dimnu-
| tive noses, big mouths; cunning, twink
| ling eyes and protuding teeth The
fringe of neck whiskers about the lower
part of the face complete the general re-
semblance TO the babboon,. which is never
lost when viewed from any direction,
front, side or obligue. Throughout the
! entire audience is noticed the low frontal
/ development characteristic of the low
order of animals; thick, sensual necks,
sleepy, lecherous eyes and the mouths OF
carniverous beasts. The women are equally
! interesting studies. Some of the old haga
brought to the territory in the earlier days
to work and grub for the apostles look to
be nearly 200 years old, crooked, stopped
shouldered, lame and twisted, with warts
and sores ali over their discol0red faces
They would if placed along with the witch
of Endor make the Scripture hag look
like rosy, dimpled babe.
These faces only belong TO the congre
CATION, the tithepaycrs. The tith-eatcrS
who sit up and do the talking, are Of Z
different order. Their faces are stamped
with a sleek, plausible cunning, aud they
maintain their gravity and decorum will
a good show Of naiUralnoss as they face
the poor devils whom they have robbed
and auped FOR half century. George Q
Cannon is fine type Of the slcck.iacel
apostle Of fraud anl robbery. 10 III,
congregation below lie seems the perfec
impersonation Of piety and purity The
cut of his jib, the perfect brush Of his hal
and the mild and gentle look Of his ey'
all indicate the man whose sleek exterior
is but Z mark to cover his real character
is!ics. The Wrctchcs TO whom mis- hypo
critical sermons are directed drink in hi
platitudcs like water.
