A Noted Professional Beauty.

The foremost professional beauty
just now is Olga Brandon. The re-
markable thing in her case is that she
that if once woman can get the as
sertion publicly made, with sufficient
emphasis, that she is lovely, the repu-
tation lasts, no matter II ninety-nine
persons in hundred declare on sight
of her that she is ugly. The discussion
once set going is quite sufficient to
serve her purpose. Olga Brandon was
one of the youthful amateurs whom the
former management of the Madison
Square theater made it policy to en-
ploy. She was set forth boldly as a
creature of beauty rare. Instead of
failing in the role, she has succeeded
wonderfully. When play was lately
produced with 4 character of profess
sional beauty in it Olga was engaged
to play the part. In the flower stands
at the benefit matinees she was the
chief attraction. She is now acting in
q similar capacity at WaIlack's thea
ter. Happily can ii be said that she is
q reputable wife, VINO takes advantage
Of her luck only in a decent way. Sne
is of good height and very slim. Her
figure is spoiled by a stoop of the
shoulders and u hollowness of the
chest. Her features are sweet and re-
fined in expression, but they do not
conform to any allowable type of beau
ty. Her nose is long and dominant.
Her complexion is almost colorless and
suggests lII-health. Her eyes are mag
nificently black, but too deeply set,
and rendered artificial in look by edg-
ings of paint. She dresses in excellent
taste, on and off the stage, and on the
promenade the only distinct mark OF
the actress is the carrying OF q black
King Charles spaniel.-Ae'0 l0r6 Cor

And being unsmuggled. with price and duty,
Was nearly worth its weight in gold.
The flowers were wonderful think that

Only another world has flowers more fair;
Each rose was big enough to brain Il baby,

The serving was the acme Of perfection;

And Oh what stacks of things there were to

Merrick. the noted lawyer, who died

when her father dies.
PHILADELPHIA's wEALTHIEsT WIDOW
is Mrs. John Ray Barton, who is
worth $1,000, 900. which she inherited
from her father, DR.. John Rush. Tom
Scott's widow is worth So, 600. 00O,
which her husband left her from his
railroad speculations, and the widow
OF NJ. W. Baldwin, the locomotive
builder, is estimated as owning 81

lett nearly million dollars to his
wife.
The richest single woman in the
country is Catherine Wolfe. She has
an income estimated at half mil
lion year, and she owns real
estate all over New York Her father,
Peter Wolfe, married Peter Lorillard's
sister, and with her got a dowrv of a
million dollars. His wife died soon,
and he married another of the Loril-
lard sisters, and with her got another
million. la a short time she died also,
and Wolfe, after speculating with his
two million or more, died himself. and
his property came to his daughter
Catherine. She has invested it well
from year to year, and now, at the age
OF 80, she thinks too much of it to per-
NIT any man to aid her in spending it.
She fears, it is said, fortune-hunters,
and it may be that her fortune has
brought more of misery than of happi-
ness into her life. Another rich single
woman of New York is Miss Sarah

Those Clever Greeks.

look IT the letters, every will seem
much smaller at the bottom than at

properly held, both halves appear the
salre size to the eve.
Use upper part of the type that
prints the letter is made smaller

exaggerates the former When the
letter is turned oven, this same trick
of the sight makes tie difference seem
greater than it really is; and. of course,
were it of the same width all the way.
it would still look uneven.
In greater matters, the false report
II tho eye is greater If taperlng
nlo.ument, like that of Bunker Hill or
the Obelisk in Central Park, were made
with perfectly straight sides, 1t would
look to us-for, you see, we really can
not trust our own eyes-as if it were
followed in little; or, as we should
say in more scientific language, its
sides would appear concave.
Those clever Greeks, who did so
many marvellous things in art, thought
all this out, and made their architect
ure upon principles so subtle and so
comprehensive that we have never
been able to improve on them since.
They found that their beautiful Doric
columns, if made with straight sides,
had the concave effect of which / have
spoken; and so, with the most deli
cate art in the world, they made the
pillar swell little at the middle, and
then it appeared exactly right
This swelling of the column at its
middle was called entGSis. Of course
it had to be calculated with the great
est nicely, and was actually so very
slight that 1t can only be detected by
delicate measurements; but it added
greatly to the beauty of the columns
and to their effectiveness.
Then the lines which were to look
horizontal had to receive attention. If
you look at long, perfectly level line,
as the edge Of roof, for instance, it
has the appearance OF sagging toward
the middle. The Greek architect cor
rected this fault by making his lines
raise a little. The front of the Par
thenon, at Athens, is one hundred and
one feet three and half inches long,
zontal is about two and one eighth in
ches. la other words, there is curv-
ature upward that makes it little
more than two inches higher in the
centre then at the ends, and the effect
OF this swelling upward is to make the
lines appear perfectly level. Indeed
this same Parthenon-the most beau
tiful building in the world-when del
icately and carefully measured was
found to be everywhere made q little
incorrect, so that it may appear right,
which is certainly what may be called
an architectural paradox. The grace
ful columns, which seem to stand so
straight, are made to lean inward a lit
tie, since, if they were perfectly true
and plumb. they would have the ef-
feet of leaning outward. The pillars
at the corners slant inward more than
the others, and everywhere the corners
truth little broader angled, and lines
are curved in order that they shall
appear straight to the eye.-Arlo Bates

A Practical Suggestion.

A Texas judge showed considerable
unwillingness to grant man q
divorce. The judge said to the ap-
plicant:
Reflect for a moment that your
wife with all her faults has her good
qualities, and that by mutual conces-
sion you may be able to get along very
well together"
The applicant for divorce seemed to
be very much moved by what the
judge said, and the latter began to
1latter himself that he had carried his
point. At last the man said:
Your honor is not married l be-
lievep"
No, l am widower."
"Well, then, judge. suppose you
grant me divorce from this woman,
and then marry her yourself, and see
if you can stand her devilish temper.
The judge begged leave respectfully
to decline.
Yes" responded the applicant,
scornfully, you are mighty kind pre-
scribing medicine for other people, but
you don't care to try dose of it your
self. "-Teras Syttngs.

The writer in the forthcoming (Noyem-

OF our oea-ports, points out that in nine
OF cur seaboard cities alone property
valued at 1892, 600, 600 is exposed to
destruction in case of war, because of onr
lack OF sea cost defences adequate to
cope with the navIes of the fighting

development of ordnance and armor since

It's lessons, but in which we have had no

inches OF iron at distance of 600 wards.

of producing the modern guns, and for

Couldn't Work for a Chinaman.

A day or two since an advertisement
appeared in city paper for girl to
do housework in small family. A
girl applied for the situation, and af-
ter being informed as to the number of
persons in the family, the work she
would be expected to do, ETC., ex-
pressed herself as satisfied with the
situation and willing to 60 to work.
Perhaps" said the lady OF the house.
'-you may not be satisfied with my hus-
band" why, what is the matter
with him?" asked the girl. He is
Chinaman," was the reply. The girl
did not stop 10 think twice over the
matter, but left at once. She could
not work for a Chinaman, even if he
had white wife and the place was an
easy one. She would have been dis
graced with her associates. This
seems hard on the servant girl when
lawyers and doctors work for China
men, and when any kind of business
people are ready to serve Cinnamon in
their line with the same alacrity they
do white people. Portland OreGonian

Hindooism and Earthquakes.

The ancient Hindoo faith, which has
withstood the assaults of Christian mis-
sionary enterprise without suffering ap-
preciable injury, has been grievously
shaken at last; mot by preaching though,
nor by the spread of education, nor
through the efforts of the 'Esoteric
Buddhists. 1t was the earthquake
which lately rumbled throughout the
greater part of Hindoostan that ac-
complished this wonderful feat. Among
other cities, the volcanic upheaval vis-
tied holy Benares, and, to the great
surprise of devout Hindoos, sent many
a rickety building tumbling to the
ground. Thereupon the Mohammed-
ans laughed, and the Hindoos were
wroth, for Moslem mirlh is very irri-
tating to the gentle one. Why did the
followers of the prophet mock at their
fellow-subjectsP Because it is an arti-
Gle of faith among the latter that
Benares does not rest on the earth at
all, but on the back of a supernatural
tortoise. Hence 1t should enjoy immu-
nifty from shocks of earthquake, and
when the commissions were taking
place the learned Brahmns of Benares
openly derided the notion that the Holy
City could be shaken. The serious
matter is that Hindooism itself has re-
ceived q shock. But we make very
little doubt that some astute Brahmin
will shortly discover that the tortoise
had sneezing fit. OF course, that
would at once account for the tumbling
down of buildings, and in process of
time it might come TO be regarded as
an additional proof of the ancient ar
ticle of faith.
