Grecian Beauty.

Much has been said in praise OF Gree
ian beauty, and the men are handsome
in every sense Of the word. We might
we'll imagine them to have been models
of Phidias and Praxiteles Their large
eyes, black as jel, sparkle with glances
of fire, while the long, silky eyelashes
soften the expression and give a dreamy
appearance Of melancholy. Their teeth
are small, white and we'll set, fine
regular profile, pale olive complexion
and tall, elegant figure realize an &C.
complished type of distinction. As to
the women, they seem to have left
physical perfection to the men; some
possess fine eyes and hair, but as a rule
they have bad figures, and some defect
in the face generally spoils the good
features. Il is among them, however,
that the old Oriental customs are most
strictly preserved; while the men arc
gradually undergoing the process OF
civilization they, in moral point OF
view, remain stationary, and are Just
us 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
to their helpmatcs the care Of tho house
and family. In the town where serv-
ants are kept, they are of the poorest
class of peasants, who know nothing.
and receive miserable wages. The
families are generally large seven or
eight little children demand mothers
constant attention. The morning be.

servant repeating tho same thing q

even beating them TO BIO understood.

The Great American Desert,

Twenty years ago this was the terror
OF the overland emigrant. 1t was i'm
possible to go around it, for it extend
ed from the Colorado 10 the cascades.
All the routes that led TO the land OF
promise crossed it, and it was soon COW
cred with the bleaching bones Of stock
and dotted with human graves. II is
about forty miles from the. lower end
of the Humboldt Sink TO the Truckee
River at Wadsworth, and t..e name
"Foty Mile Desert" given the stretch
has become known the world over
There is no water fit to drink on the
whole distance The road lies through
q sandy sage brush plain, extending
several miles west of tire lake, where it
strikes an alkali desert, IN the centre
of which the railroad has station that
it appropriately calls white" Plains.
This is the lowest point east OF the
mountains Eight miles further is
Mirage Station, which might serve as
a memorial 10 the unfortunates who
have been betrayed from their proper
course by the picture OF running water,
waving trees and fields that existed on
ly in the deceptive air Near the mid
die of the journey is a boiling hot
spring at the foot of the mountain, and
large beds Of salt lie near from which
b. T. Leete and the Bonanza mines
put up and ship large quantities to
market The deposit has Killed all
vegetation for long distance around,
leaving the fat old lake bed as bare as
d floor Between there and Wadsworth
there are some very odd formations.
The body of the country seems 10 be q
light yellow substance, probably diato-
nous, over which lie high ridges OF
brown hills. The level places are
strewn with heavy rocks Of all sizes, as
black as coal. There is no timber any
where in sight and even the sage brush
is of inferior size. On either side are
the ever monotonous brown mountains,
carved and grooved by centuries OF
wear and frost into fringes of stony
lace. Tie railroad has made frequent
attempts to get water for its engines,
but without success. They bored l,3OO
feet at Hot Springs, but got only a
bracksh mixture Of liquid alkali. They
haul water in tank cars for their sec
ton men between Lovelock's and
Wadsworth's, and the engines make
the run with one thankful, a distance Of
sixty-one miles. They formerly car
ried an extra car behind the engine
with two wooden tanks to draw from,
but new engines have been built with
tanks that hold 800 gallons. They
frequently run seventy-five miles with
out stopping, and Nick Cole made
100 mile run once 1t is very pleasant
comparison for the rich 'forty-niner,'
who rides in palace car over the
ground where he walked along with
sore and tired feet, urging his oxen out
of the thirsty desert, half lifetime
ago. Reno Gazette.
