Coquettish Mexican Women.

A letter to the Newark On, J.l Adoer-
tiSer says: The favorite hour for strolling
about the streets here for the ladies, is
in the morning from about 8 till
~ o'clock. Dufing those hours you
encounter throngs of ladies, both Mexi-
can and foreigners, walking leisurely
along, staring in the shop windows,
occasionally entering to make their
purchases or to pull over the dress goods
and trimmings and drive the clerks dis
tracted in the good old American lady's
fashion, and then depart without buying
anything, just the same as in the cities
of the North.
The Mexican ladies love admiration,
like to be noticed, even stared at in the
streets and all public places by men.
You can see this to be the case from their
pleased manner when they are closely
observed by strangers, particularly by
foreigners. 1t is remarked upon by
every foreigner, no matter of what ma
tionality, who comes here. Probably the
true reason for this is that Mexican hus-
bands, with rare exceptions, are not
affectionate for a long period
dlIeF maIrlaSe; Cney soon grow
weary of their wives and
seek distraction and affection
elsewhere than at home. Furthermore
the position of the wife here is not so
favored, so honored one as it is in the
United States. A shade of the ancient
Oriental idea that wives should be the
slaves, the servants of their husbands,
pervades Mexican home life, and the wife
is, in many respects, decidedly the in
ferior of her husband. This inferiority
is felt, not only in the lower grades of
society, but even among the highest
classes. Though unacknowledged, per-
haps, in words, it is expressed in actions
and in the relations between husband
and wife. Hence it is not strange that
Mexican women should seek for admira-
ton and sympathy from other men than
their own spouses. And, inasmuch as
many of them have heard or read of the
superior position held by women in
American society, and of the devotion of
the average American to his wife, and
the universal gallantry of the stronger
sex toward the physically weaker one

IHead-dress of Norwegian Women.

The most common head-dress of the
Norwegian women consists of simple
kerchief of cotton, sometimes of silk,
embroidered at the corners. 1t is
doubled, folded over the head and tied
under the chin. In sunny weather it is
allowed to project over the forehead, SO
as to shield the face from the sun. The
corner which hangs down behind shows
the embroidered pattern, and protects
the neck and the back of the head. In
the neighborhood of Bergen, however,
more elaborate head-dresses are seen.
The patterns are various, but they are
all more or less picturesque. In most
cases they consist of a crown of white
dimity, held out by a light but stiff
board. Both the kerchief and the red
tapes by which it is tied hang down the
back almost to the waist. In keeping
with this is the blue bodice worn over a
white blouse, and held in its place by
red and yellow shoulder-straps. Still
more characteristic and imposing are the
bridal crowns worn in some parts of the
country, particularly in the Bergen prov
ince and in Thelemarken, where the
primitive customs of the country are
still preserved, though in other parts
they are rapidly disappearing before the
inevitable advance of civilization. These
crowns are very elaborate and, on the
whole, uncomfortable looking erections.
They are profusely decorated with in
expensive gems but, tawdy as they
often are, they are sacredly preserved
as heirlooms, and are proudly shown by
their possessors to their children and
grandchildren as titles to honor, if not
to nobility.

Appearances are Deceitful.

The Signor de Rabata could not have
been called handsome man, even by his
dearest friends. He was small and mis-
formed; he had a flat face, and nose
much like that of terrier dog. In a
word, this gentleman was so hideous
that, search as one might, it would have
been impossible to find one worse ia
vored, except, perhaps, in the person of
the famous painter, Glotto, who, at all
events was scarcely less ugly.
Despite this unattractive appearance
the Signor de Rabata was very learned
person, and was respected by the
scholars of the day as the greatest judge
on every point of civil law.
These two men, the ugly judge and
the ugly artist, lived in the same village
not far from Florence at the time of my
story.
One day, as they were riding in com.
pany thence to the city, each being bad
ly mounted and shabbily attired, they
were surprised by a heavy rain which
forced them to seek shelter in a PEASANTS
hut. The downpour continuing, the
friends grew impatient. Therefore, as
they knew the man beneath whose roof
they were sheltering, they borrowed
some clothes of him. He could
only offer an old rough cloak of gray
felt and a very bad and ragged
hat, which, however, the gentlemen ac-
cepted. Thus equipped they continued
their way. After while the storm
abated, and they fell into conversation
Giotto talked extremely well, no matter
what might be the subject, and, as Sig
nor de Rabata listened, he reflected that
this was indeed a gifted man. Never
theless, as he surveyed the painter from
head to foot, his ugliness in the borrowed
clothing was so striking that he could
not refrain from bursting into laugh,
Feeling obliged to explain, he said
''Master Giotto, imagine if any one
met us who had never seen or heard of
you. Think you that such one would
take you for the greatest painter in the
worldW
eyes, sir" replied Giotto, promptly.
II think this might be possible, ii the
same person, in examining you from top
to toe, was able to credit you with know
ignore than the letters of the alphabet. y
The judge was COMPOUNDED, for, in
ridiculing his companion he had not real
lied that his own aspect was equally
absurd.

''You have taught me now that one must

MagnetiZed Watches,

Some very curious things concerning
watches come under watchmaker's OBJ
servation at times. A matchmaker saws:
| remember a lady who used to bring me
her watch sometimes as often as once q
week-it was either too fast or too slow
with her; while it hung up in the shop
it ran as steady as the State house clock.
| studied that watch and one day came
across something in an English horolog-
ical magazine that opened my eyes. It
was simply a little item saying that
sometimes dellcately adjusted watches
were affected by the temperament of
their wearers. Affected by personal
magnetism. The whole thing flashed
upon me in a moment The woman's
watch was affected by herself. found
out that she. was of a highly nervous
temperament, but would at times suffer
from attacks of dependency. The watch
only recorded her temperament. When
she was vivacious it went fast, when she
was in low mood it went slow. Very
often it is impossible to regulate a watch
for some men by keeping the timepiece
in the shop. There is some physical
popularity about the man; it may be his
gait, his temperament, or an excess of
bodily electricity In these cases | let
the man wear the watch continually, and
then regulate it to his peculiarities.

tain persons. knew a young watch.
maker in whom it became so strong that
he was obliged to give up that branch OF
the trade because it was found that he
magnetized the delicate hair-springs.

A Pleasant Employment for Young
Ladies.

There are in Chicago perhaps forty or
fifty working girls who are inclined to
congratulate themselves on their compar-
atively easy lot. They are employed in
the different sewing machine companies
represented here to teach purchasers of
machines the uses and care of them. In
the office of one of the largest Western
agencies yesterday morning six of these
girls were preparing for their days work
Each one was presented by the forewoman
with the list of the houses where she was
to call during the day to give lesson,
and each one of them carried out with
her little satchel filled with fancy work
of various kinds to be employed in illus
trating the different uses to which the
machine could be put. When the girls
had all departed the forewoman had a
few moments leisure and kindly explained
to an early and curious visitor something
of the details of their duties.
SIT is much nicer employment" she
began, ethan anything to be found in
stores or factories, and is better paid.
And then you are your own boss. The
girls get their orders here and start out
at 0 o'clock in the morning. That's the
last we see of them until the next morn
ing, for when they have covered all their
assignments they are at liberty to go
home"
'Does the average purchase of ma
chine require many lessons in order to
make good use of it,"
''Three are usually sufficient. Some
ladies are more slow to learn than others,
and there are so many attachments for
hemming, filling, tucking, embroidering
and so forth, that it is no small matter
to learn the use Of them, and how to oil,
clean and keep the machine in good Or
der. Then occasionly a customer gets
into some kind of trouble with her ma
chine, and we have to send a girl back
again to set things right. A girl meets
a good many hardships in the business,
such as being out in all kinds of weather
and travelling about from one part of the
city to another, but, on the whole, the
business is healthful and well paid. p

Uses of Arctic Exploration,

In three hundred years there have beer
some two hundred Arctic voyages, fol
various purposes and with various fates.
The Greedy expedition was but one OF
thirteen expeditions. Five hundred men
passed two winters within the polar
circle, and nineteen of them only werO
lost. And Lieutenant Ray says that tho
result of the observations of all these
expeditions will be the doubling of the
worlds knowledge of the magnetic
forces. That is to say, as the Rev.
Brooke Herford states in his admirable
sermon upon this subject; "Not one of
all the thousand and ten thousand craft
sailing to and fro among the many lands
OF earth but will be little surer of its
compass, little closer in its reckoning,
little safer than it ever was before. {"
Is this worth nothing2 Is not the
risk, the loss, even amply recompensed2
But also, as Mr.. Herford points out, the
moral qualities, the patience, the cour-
age, the self-denial, the faith, the en-
durance, developed by these Northern
researches are Incompatible. "There
is Simply no other chapter in the history
of human doings to be compared with it.
Beside it the adventures of commerce
and conquest look greedy and base, the
stories of chivalry are mere tinsel, the
long heroism of the Crusades seems q
fevered frenzy" Cui bono2 is not an
argument to discourage the restless soul
which the prospect of peril inspires. nor
will the pathetic story of the patient and
generous endurance, amid apparently
remediless suffering, which the record Of
the Greedy expedition discloses dismay
or deter other Greelys from daring the
same dangers. The Arctic story is one
of the saddest, but it is also one of the
noblest, in the annals of human heroism.

France and Italy will produce differ
ent impression. In France, only ten OF
dozen deaths per day occurred in the
cities of Marseilles and Toulon. In Ma
pies sos deaths and 966 fresh cases oc-
Cured in twenty hours. 1.-The
cause Of the discrepancy is easily seen, y
says a Western paper 'the French
are much more Clearly in their
habits than the Italians. The latter
are paying terrible penalty for their
grossly filthy habits. The excessively
warm weather is not alone an all-power-
full factor in producing an epidemic of
cholera. In verifcation of this an ex-
change points to the fact that "the
second cholera epidemic through which
Chicago passed came to the city in the
winter of 1882" There is no reason
why there should be the slightest relaxa-
ton by the authorities in their efforts to
ward off the approach of the dreaded
scourge Unless all signs fail, the Uni
ted States is likely to be beseiged by the
cholera next year; and every ounce of
preparation previous to that time will be
worth a pound of cure afterward.'
The New York Financial Chronicle has
compiled some elaborate statistics in re-
gard to the production and manufacture
of cotton in the world in the last
eighteen years which show that in the
last twelve years there has been an in
crease in the average annual production
of so 6-10 per cent, and during the
same time an increase in the average an
nual manufacture of 81 $40 per cent.
This is at the rate of doubling the pro-
! duction of manufactured cotton goods in
twenty years. This fact if taken as an
index of the increase of the other
manufacturing industries is very sugges-
| tive, because it SHOWS an increase Of com
modities greater than the increase of
population. The doubling period of
population in the United States is vari-
able, owing to the fluctuations of en-
igration, but is probably not far from
twenty-five years. The average period
which the population of Eu-
rope doubles is about seventy-fve
years. The doubling period of
the Oriental countries is not ascertain
able with even approximate certainty,
but it is unquestionably a much longer
period than in the United States. 1t
therefore appears that the population of
the world must consume more and more
cotton goods per capita each year in
order to furnish market for the manu-
featured goods. The Chronicles figures
also snow the interesting fact that the
entire increase of production and very
large part of the incease of manufacture
have been in the United States. In 1867
the total supply was 4,4O8, 900 bales of
400 pounds, of which the United States
furnished $3.50, 000 and all other coun-
tries airs, 900. In 1928 the supply
was O,4O8, 900 bales, of which the
United States furnished S,O5S, 900, and
all other countries 1850, 900, or only a
trihe more than the same countries sup
piled in 1866 Consumption by manu-
facturers in the United States during the
same period has risen from 1922, 900 to
1875, 600 bales, and in Great Britain
from 2, 500, 900 to $500, 900 bales.

short time foreheads will be worn plain,

that Mexican women of the higher classes
usually look with favor upon American
men-if they are gentlemen. However,
American men are not apt to be strongly

of them are as beautiful as the average

Arabian widows.

An Arab widow who has a chance to
marry again visits her first husbands
grave the night before the second mar
riage takes place, where she kneels and
prays him not to be offended at her for
taking another husband. But, as a guar
antee against any failure of her prayers
to appease the deceased, she takes along
with her a donkey laden with water and
saturates the grave, a proceeding which
is calculated to keep the dead husband
cool under the most aggravating circum-
stances.
