Not beauty alone, of certainty.
Many of the women most noted for their
power over men have been possessed of
little physical beauty. Cleopatras
charm over Mark Antony was not that
Of facial loneliness, for, contrary to the
impressions of some people, the cele-
brated Egyptian,,Queen was not perfect in
feature.
We might cite other illustrations. The
present Princess De Metternich, almost
without rival in foreign courts, is
called "the ugly beautiful one, )" in joint
recognition of her plainness and her
fascinating powers. There is no real
beauty in her features, critically con-
sidered, but in herself there's ind sputa-
bic charm. Some subtle grace adorns
her, IN a way we cannot tell, and in
tiuences all around her. Of what nature
Is it Is it acquired, or Unborn? Is it
the outgl owth of deception and coquetry,
or the unconscious means Of heart

natural qualities, that find popular
recognition?
These questions are difficult of So
luton. The fact remains-and should
be consolation to homely girls the
world over-that there is a decided
fascination about, or in, some plain
women-a fascination which makes them
almost beautiful Indeed, one of the
so-called most beautiful ladies we ever
saw had no beauty of face whatever,
measured by strict rules of perfectness.
She had over-long features, crooked
nose, large mouth. In repose, scanned
closely, she was, in short very homely
Yet men disavowed matrimony because
she would not wed them, and everybody
ACKNOWLEDGED her rare Willingness.
There IS something in manner, we

voice that has music in it, the eve that
lights up speakingly, and the mobile
mouth that expresses so much while
syllabling no word, all have their power,
and command recognition. And their
power is not evanescent. Mere beauty
fades, but the indescribable charm which
these make up defies even age. and holds
sway until the last. That nameless
grace which wins many hearts is as near

Painting Houses:

Mr.. E. E. Rexford presents SOME ind
portant facts on Painting Houses" in
the american AgricutturiSt, from which
we select the following:
For country houses would advise for
open, exposed places, pale gray or
drab. There are complaints made FREE
quently that drab looks cold. It cannot
look colder than white does, and there
is no reason why it should look cold at
all. if proper care is taken to have the
trimmings Of the house of some warm,
cheerful color. [ know a drab house
with deep, warm toned brown cornice
and blinds, with plenty of vines Chamber
ing up it to break the monotony of the
surface between the windows, and it is
one of the warmest looking houses /
know of. In the summer it is refresh
ing to look at it. It does not pain the
eyes with its glare. It does not assert
itself the moment you reach the top of
the hill and come within sight of it. A
white house would draw your attention
at once and, no matter how you might
try to look at something else, the white
blotch on the landscape would leave its
impression in your eyes, and you could
not help seeing it. This grey house
seems part of the landscape. It's color
blends well with the green about it.
There are no large trees around it, but
there are vines, and the general effect in
sdmmer is cool and subdued, and in
winter it gives q sense of warmth and
comfort. Why it gives a sensation of
warmth at one season ana of GOODNESS at
another, is explained by the fact that
summer is a season of high, bright
colors, and the drab is in lower tone of
color than those prevailing in the land
scape. Winter is a season OF but little
color, and then drab, in COZ trast with
the snow covered earth, becomes cheer
full, and the deep toned trimmings,
which should be seen on every house
painted in drabs or greys, give a sense
of warmth which they would not have in
summer when all about it is In high,
decided tones.
LAST week, boy down in Lee county
rugged himself up in sheet one night,
and sneaked around the house to stand
at the window of his brothers room and

the dog, who didn't believe on ghosts,
and pretended to sleep by the Kitchen
chimney. The ghost materiAlized about
five feet from the chimney, and wien
the doctor came he cauterized nineteen
holes in it, while the dog, with his tail
standing straight up in the air like a
mast, walked around the yard on his
tip toes, and talked bass, and asked

The question raised about the cremation
Of Garibaldi's body seems to have awakened
new interest in the, subject among the
cremationists themselves. The fastest points
OF cremation in this country and in Europe
come from well-in formed member of the
New York cremation society, which was in.
corporated in March, 1881, and now
numbers over one hundred members.
The society holds well attended
meetings once month, and
shows living interest in all matters
connected with funeral reform. There is
bnt one other cremation society in the
United States, in st. Louis, and but one
