Sketch OF samuel Morley.

Samuel Morley, who died in Eng
land was born in Wells street, Hack
ney, in 1909, and was educated in q
private school. and thence passed into
business, in which much of his life was
spent. Mr.. Morley was throughout q
Dissenter, and has done much by gifts
of money, as we'll as by speeches and
by personal influence, to promote
the cause of Protestant Nonconform-
ity. Mr.. Morley early found in Parlia-
ment sphere on congenial service.
He first represented Nottingham in the
interest of the advanced Liberals from
July, 1865, to May, 1857, when he was
unseated on petition. On the retire.
ment of Sir Morton Petho from the
candidature of Bristol in 1868, Mr.. Nor
ley came forward to contest that
borough, but he lost the seat. He was
elected. however, in December. 1868,
and has been one of the representatives
of Bristol ever since. Mr.. Morley,
throughout successful in business, was
head of the firm of j. & r. Morley,
wholesale hosiers, of Wood street, Lon
don. He also found time to discharge
the duties of Treasurer to the college
at Homerton and of the Home Mission
ary Society. Mr.. Morley was married
in 1841 to Rebeka Maria, daughter OF
Mr.. Samuel Hope, banker, of Liver
pool.

Cuban Women.

In the physical beauty of the Cuban
woman the commanding features are
the foot, whose daintiness and symmetr;
are marvellous; the supple, willowy
grace of movement of person; the ex-
Quisitely modelled form, and the eyes,
which never lose their lustre and glow.
Cuban women wear shoes no larger
than the No. size for women in the
States. Nor in this diminutive size
the result of any pinching process.
She is born that way.
She is the most graceful woman on
her feet, in her walk and carriage, in
the promenade, or in the dance, you
ever saw.
Of her form, it is perfection. Nine
women out of ten you meet are models
of symmetry. There is greater
delicacy in line and proportion. They
do not so torture their persons or
themselves.
The Cuban woman's face may be
said to be wholly interesting and lovely
rather than wholly beautiful. Its
beauty is in ITS expression rather than
in repose. This face is of the Latin
mold, oval, and with a delicate pro-
truding of pretty and shapely chin.
Her complexion is warm, creamy. with
no carnation in her cheeks. But her
mouth-large, mobile, tremulous, with
just a suggestion of pathos in the slight
drawing down at the corners-has lips
so red and ripe that her ever-perfect
teeth dazzle in brilliant contrast. Her
HAIR is of that lead-black darkness
which suggests weird, soft mist upon
the night, and is indeed a glory ever.
But her e, es are her priceless, crown
ing loneliness, her never-ending power
and charm. They cannot be describ.
ed. When you say that behind their
long. dark, half-hiding lasbes they
arc large, dark, dreamy, yet glowing,
flashing with fire, liquid with 1anguor,
you have only limited their inexpensive.
ness. They are the same eyes at 9, 10,
and at 80.

Railroad Systems.

Poor's Manual of Railroads for 1886.
just issued, shows in its summary that
in the United States there were 3, 131
miles of road built in 1885, the aggre-
gate mileage from which financial re-
turns we're received during the year
being 1910 miles, against 1878
in 1884. The capital of all the roads
making returns, which includes the
elevated roads. is $751;, 697, 1882
against SO. 762, GIG 6s6 for 1884; fund
ed debt, $3,705, 727. O66, against 49,

$3.50 ,108,281, against S244, 666.596 for
1884. The earnings equal $772, $685.
1888, being an increase of O.24 per cent.
OF this amount $519.69O, 1892 was from
freights. $500, 8S3,9l1 from passengers,
and $51, $685. from miscellaneous
sources. The operating expenses of
all the roads were $503, O74. 902; net
earnings, $269, 493. 931, or 3.5 per cent.
The amount of interest paid was
$l89, 462. O35, against SIG. .302 for
1884, and of dividends S77.672, los,
against 1913, 244,835 for 1884. The
earnings per mile last year were &c.
PCS, against S6,G63 for 1884, while the
tonnage moved was 437.04O.O99 tons.
against 399. O74 749 in 1884, an increase
of about 10 per cent. The movement
of tonnage is steadily increasing, while
at the same time there is a slight fall
ing off in rates. Tho Manual says:
The last year undoubtedly marks a
point of lower depression. in the earn
ings of our railroads in ratio to their
cost and mileage than is likely to be
witnessed for some years to come,
the present year showing consider
able improvement upon the last"

A Curious Bird.

That curious bird, the apteryx, is
still to be found in New Zealand, but
it is probable that before many years
it will, like the gigantic diornis of the
same country, have entirely dis
appeared. 1t is poorly armed for
self defence, and the only thing that
prevents its entire determination is its
retired and nocturnal mode of life
The number of these birds has
diminished very rapidly since the
colonization of the island, and from
year to year it becomes more and
more difficult to secure q specimen.
Dogs and cats are their worst enemies,
for they cannot only discover them by
their odor, but pursue them into re-
treats inaccessible to man. If we add
to this constant destruction the fact
that they reproduce their species at
long intervals. and lay but a single
egg, it may be readily seen that the
entire disappearance of the bird is a
question of comparatively few years.
The egg of the apteryx is genuine
curiosity; and. when its size is con-
sidered, there is no wonder that this
bird does not lay more than one. The
egg is deposited in burrow so difficult
to discover that. in journey of a
thousand miles across New Zealand,
Prof Ward, of Rochester. was able to
procure but two specimens. The
natives tell host of stories about this
egg. Thus, they assert, for example,
that the bird bnries its egg to GER
tain depth in the ground, and then
makes burrow under it so that she
can enter the latter and let the egg
rest on her back. This is a fable,
however, for Prof. Ward observed the
birds sitting ON their egg just as
others of their race do. The place of
the apteryx in a system of classical
ton is far from being determined in a
satisfactory manner. 1t is usual to
place it alongside the ostrich and
cassowary. in the order of cursores
or runners, because it is deprived of
the faculty of flying. Prof. Ward
seems to take this view of the case.

ESQ of Eyes

Now many of us 90 through life
without ever realizing that orr eyes
have to be educated to see as well as
our tongues to speak, and that only
the barest outlines of the complex and
ever-changing images focused on the
retina ordinarily impress themselves
upon the brain? That the education of
the eye may be brought to high state
of perfection is shown in numerous
ways.
There are many delicate processes of
manufacture which depend for their
practical success upon the nice visual
perception of the skilled artisan, who
almost unconsciously detects varia-
TOPS of temperature, color, density,
etc., of his materials which are inap-
probable to the ordinary eye.
The hunter, the mariner. the artist,
the scientist, each needs to educate the
eye to quick action in his special field
of research before he can hope to be-
come expert in it.
The following story from the Penn
Monthly, which is quite apropos, is re-
lated of Agassiz, and it is sufficiently
characteristic of this remarkably ac-
curate observer to have the merit of
probability. We are told that once
upon a time tie Professor had occasion
to select an assistant from one of his
classes. There were a number of
candidates for the post of honor, and
finding himself in a quandary as to
which one he should choose. the happy
thought occurred to him of subiec:ing
three of the more promising students in
turn to tho simple test Of describing
the view from his laboratory window,
which overlooked the side of the
college. One said that he saw merely
board fence and a brick pavement;
another added stream of soapy water;
a third detected the color of the paint
on the fence, noted green mould or
fungus on the bricks. and evidences~of
''bluing" in the water, besides other
details. 1t is needless to tell to which
candidate was awarded the coveted
position.
Houdin, the celebrated prestidigita::
tor, attributed his success in his pro-
fession mainly to his quickness of per-
ception, which, he tells US in his enter
tanning autobiography, he acquired by
educating his eye to detect large
number of obi ects at single glance.
His simple plan was to select q shop
window full of miscellaneous assort-
ment of articles, a1d walk rapidly past
it a number of times every day, writ
ing down each object which impressed
itself on his mind. In this way he was
able, after time. to detect instantane-
ously all of the articles in the window,
even though they might be numbered
by scores.-Scie7atifc american.

Minneapolis Expedition.

1t appears to be the universal verdict
of the thousands and tens of thousands
who have visited the Exposition at
Minneapolis, that it is the most valu-
able exhibit ever presented to the pub
lie, and its comprehensiveness is a
constant wonder and delight. The
Centennial exhibit of 1876, is the only
enterprise of the kind that has ap-
proacted it in excellence, extent and
merit. 1t surpasses Chicago and Gin
cinnati, and those who fail to visit it
miss an opportunity of q life time.
The management have made such ar
engagements with the railroads that
each Tuesday and Thursday you can
buy a cheap excursion ticket to Minne-
apolis, good to return until the follow
ing Monday. This puts the great OPP
portunity within tho reach of every
body.

"There are English ladies with all
the accomplishments of any of their
SEX" writes Adam Badeau. There
are beauties that no other land can ex-
Gel, or hardly rival; there are graces
of manner that none can resist; women
of wit, culture, breeding, and CONVERSE
tional power, all combined, whose
genius it is delight to remember;
whose destinations it is worth while
to have experien ced and enjoyed.
These are the very flower, not only of
a class, but of nation; the expression
of what is choicest and rarest IN q race
and an institution. They made me
think of those costly affairs of the ORR
emit which require thousands of roses
for the distillation of single drop; the
labor of the garden, the influence of
the climate, the outcome of the soil,
and the destruction of the myriad of
flowers, all to produce ono exquisite
result, which, after all, is for the de-
lectation of only the wealthy and for
tunate of mankind.

Mr. Hevsl,,s rA.sry.

Aes k4OWO11,0 3A008ye
Mr.. Howell Is advancing, through one
of his characters. . now theory about
marriages. 1t Is that women should
we'd with men who are not quite up to
them in Intellectual development, and
one reason is, that woman has less
chance to grow after marriage than a
man, and another that she ismore like
" to lead him upward when the SUI
periority Is on her side, while, when the
contrary is the case. he win grow away
from her, and all chance Of intellectual
companionship is gone forever. That
is all very well from. > mans point of
view; but not so pleasant from . wo-
mans. And how about tho old-time
legend of the pine and the oak? How
is superior woman to 'look up to"
or clean upon her inferior husband?
And why is there not as much danger
that she may grow hopelessly away
from him, and even more, since the
animal part of her nature is much
weaker than that of manf Mr.. How
ellis theory will MT hold water.
The better and truer way to make
happiness and contentment sure is to
have no very marked intellectual su-
periority upon either side. In nine
cases out of ten, it will result in dis
satisfaction, unless there are qualities
of fascination that counterbalaDce all
intellectual attractions. Men are too
apt to look entirely to physical beauty
with little thought for what viii pro-
ducc the cool comradeship into
which their later marriage years should
settle, while women are more prone to
be won by strength, and often the
mere pleasure of being wooed brings
an affirmative answer to the questions,
so far as her future life is concerned.
An equality. physical, mental, and
moral, gives much greater chance
! for harmonious union than the con-
trary order of things. More especially
il this true in these days, when women
are learning to feel that their place is
by the side of their husbands, and not
at their feet.
The same character that discourses
about this matter is also made 10 utter

because there has been an engagement
1t is true that q be:rothal should not
be entered into lightly or carelessly:
1t should be regarded as sacred and
not to be broken for trifing causes, but
there can be no greater mistake than
to take marriage VOWS simply because
it is expected. As soon as either party
becomes convinced that tho sentiment
that prompted the entrance into the
engagement was a delusion, that mo-
ment the bond should be severed
Neither can ''reaiize the best possibili-
ties of life," even if the one remains
true to the original feeling, and the
evils entailed by such q union are be-
yond computation. Better do what
may seem wrong now, than to commit
far greater one by persevering when
love is dead in the heart.-10ledo
