Masculine Beauty.

Somebody has found out that winsorne-
ness Is impossible IN a man possessed of
physical beauty. He may be handsome
fellow, perhaps even a beauty. and vet
that fine and subtle charm which attaches
itself TO female loneliness can never be
his. The mere beauty of manliness, of
character and brains carries heavy
weight in its power of personal attrac-
tion. Such as it is, it captivates women
hundred times quicker than the &C.
knowled handsome man, who, after all. is
rRra avis. Take. for instance, the col
lection of men at Harvard as representa-
tives of moral and physical culture. how
many handsome men are there in the
crowd! Handsome, that is, according TO
Appolo Belvidere and the Nicholas Smith
standard. To those who loved them thew
were doubtless angels of light: 10 their
Wallets, no heroes certainly: to the criti-
cal and impartial observer. the personiti-
cation of brains and strong mentality
Probably among them were many vain
brothers, self-conceded brothers, though
these weaknesses could not be based on
personal appearance, but rather on who
they were and what they had done with
the talent confded to them. The man

the why bundle of nervous thought, were
all there, but where was the pure, physi-
cal beauty, that type lauded by the Greeks
because coexlstent with intellect and the
highest culture. 1t was no more than in
any average theatre audience. Happily
for the world at large there are few men
beauties. Life would oe detestable if
lovely woman was not alone on her pedes-
tai. 1t is melancholy to acknowledge it.
but the man poses for admiration on the
ground of looks is a des perate bore.

Holiday Items.

1t is an old saying that "a bird in tho
hand is worth two in the BUSH" and is
very applicable to holiday purchases.
The wise select their Christmas pres

lake the cuttings.
During the holidays the happiest boy
n Christendon will be the one who got
sled and a pair of skates on Christ
mas-if there sn't any snow or ice.
In buying Christmas presents, it is
better for your peace of mind to take
.he first thing that strikes your fancy,
rather than to .ook at something else.
10 hesitate is to be lost.
On Christmas day the happy urchin

A Christmas Carol.

/.
God rest ye all good People,
That harken to our lay,
And hear the word.
That Christ our Lord,
Was born upon this day.
We lift our voices gladly,
And gladly we do sing,
Of that same night,
That showed TO light,
The promise He did bring.
When Angels sang 10 Shepherds.
That kept their fiOckS that day,
And babe them seek.
Where mild and meek,
The infant Jesus lay.
So when our life grows older.
And brings its winters night,
May Angels sing,
And to us bring
Our Lord His truth and light.

Proportion OF Deaths by Lightning.

The yearly average number of deaths
from lightning in England is twenty
three, or four and four-tenths per 100
600 deaths. As a general rule it seems
that unless persons are killed on the
spot by lightning they recover. \ per-
son struck by lightning is more or less
stunned, and deprived of consciousness
for time, often, no doubt, by mere
fright in which case the effect is tran
silent; but sometimes in consequence of
n shock given to the brain, in which
case there is n certain amount OF paral-
ysiS OF motion and sensation. The ap-
pearanees after death of bodies which
have been struck by lightning vary ex-
tremely. Sometimes they retain the
position which they occupied when
struck: while in other cases they NAV
be dashed to n considerable distance
Their clothes are often burnt or torn,
and have peculiar siuged smell.
Metallic substances about the BODY pre-
sent signs of fusion. while such as are
composed of steel become magnetic
