The Percentage of Good Looks.

What proportion OF good-looking people
does one see in the crowded thorough
fares of city, at the theatres, the balls,
the hotels the restaurants: Should the
observer count up all he sees i'll single day
he might make a respectable aggregate,
but would the percentage of good looks
be one in hundred? There is usually
something the matter with the face. 1t is
either too long or too short, too red Or too
sallow; the nose is retroussc, too long, too
short, too highly bridged, or has no bridge
at all, is too thin or too dubious; the eyes
are too near together or too far apart, have
an undesirable color, are too large, too
small, or have an evil expression; the fore
head is too high, too low, too narrow, too
broad, or out Of shape from phrenolog-
ical standpoint; the chin is too short, too
weak, too square, too pointed; the mouth,
thought by many to be the most expressive
feature Of the face, may have nameless
and numberless deviations from the true
type of beauty, while the hair, ears and
complexion may be al wrong, and the
profile either that of It fish or pair of nut
crackers. 1t is sad that we are born and
live under such fateful and melancholy
conditions, we Americans even, who pride
ourselves on being the handsomest people
in the universe.-San Francisco ChrOnical.

The Photographer Afoot in Spain.


The eye of the Spanish douanier is vigi-
ant and unsleeping, and the ambulant
photographer is evidently not common
object Of the Spanish mountains. Lord
Frederick Bruce and two friends few
days ago made an expedition from Biar-
ritz across the frontier, accompanied. BY q
photographic apparatus Having pene-
trated as far as the picturesque village of
Vera, they prepared for action, hoping to
Gerry away some impressions Of lovely
views surrounding them, when they found
themselves observed with suspicion by the
local representatives of the Spanish army.
AS no amount Of argument could con-
vince the honest "carabineros" that q
guileless heart may beat beneath. the
British suit of tweed, or that the attitude
of the artist, crouching beneath the Black
cloth spread over the camera, was entirely
unconnected with the bombardment OF
the village, the indignant tourists were
forthwith escorted to the officer Of the
guard That parsonage, by great good
luck, had recently had his portrait taken,
and being further reassured by some sue
ccssful photograph he was able to per

who bids high prices for what he wants. l
have often seen him about. the auction
room, big man, with round, bullet
head, and q little, low derby hat, several
sizes too small for him, placed on the front
of it and down SO as to almost hide his
eyes. The back Of his neck is painted
black, and his big cheeks show the sus-
picion of rouge He wears sack-coat
with sleeves several times too large for
him, and he has very small hands and
feet. He IS proud of these hands, and the
cuffs which surround them are always; of
the whitest, and they are so large that he
can pull his hands up : into them out OF
sight His shoulders are padded out SO
that they become a. .deformity, and where
the sleeves fall at the end of the shoulders
they hang in hollow, limp wrinkle, as
though the coat was hung on wire frame
other than on human being. He wears
very small shoes, made like those OF
lady with the heel near the middle of his
foot, and he walks necessarily in mine
ing way. e.
At the book auctions he always has a
book in his hand, and while the sale is not
in progress he is reading. He speaks to no
one, and seems to be sort Of misanthrope.
1 could tell you his name, but it will suf-
flee to say that he is the son of wealthy pa
rents, who have left him fortune so tied

the way, is large amount, and is paid to
him regularly. He has one of the finest
private libraries in. Washington, and adds

Ono Nar to strencthen the Market.

Every day in the market here we re-
ceive reports of so many boatloads takeH
for export. This is followed the next day
by reports that the wheat taken the day
before has been sold again, making it ap-
pear that they really did not take any for
export, and that it was only a dodge to
give the market strength. Now, some Of
the wheat reported taken is really bought
for export, but at the same time the
buyer takes considerable more, and after
he has had it reported dumps his surplus,
and gets the benefit of the weakness that
follows. This is a better game than has
ever been played before.-St. Louis Globe

by an examination of the roots Of the hair
incipient stages of bodily and mental dis
ease may be detected before other symp-

amined microscopically, by polarized light,
the enlarged, dubious end oflthe root will
show white contour and yellowish or
brownish-red center, if the individual be
in a healthy condition of body and mind.
Various departures from these characters
