BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
The AndalusIan Beauties Have Very
Small Feet.

Scribner.
As regards her stature and mould. the
AHdalusian girl is almost invariably a
petite brunette, and although not all are
plump, and many are too stout, the ma
lority have exquisitely symmetrical
tapering limbs, well-developed busts,
fiat chested women arc almost unknown
in SPAIN, and the most dainty and re-
fined hands and feet. Regarding these
feet Coulter makes the most astounding
assertion, that without any poetic ex-
aggeration 1t would be easy here in Sc
vile TO find ONE whose feet an infant
might hold in its hands. A French
girl Of z or 8 could not wear the shoes
OF an Andalusian Of 90" / am glad TO
attest that, IL the feet of Seyillian
women really were SO monstrously
small fifty years ago, they are so no
longer. II Is discouraging TO sec a man
like Gautier fall into the vulgar error
OF fancying that, because a small foot
Is a thing Of beauty, therefore the
smaller the foot the more beautiful it
must be. Beauty of feet, hands.
aud waists Is a matter Of proportion,
not OF absolute size, and too small
feet, hands and waists are not beauti-
ful, but ugly. We might as well argue
that since a mans foot ought to be
larger than n woman's, therefore the
larger his foot the more he has of manly
beauty. II Andalusian women really
had feet S small that a baby might
hold them in its hands, they would not
be able 70 walk at all, or at least, not
gracefully. But it is precisely their
graceful gait and carriage for which
they are most famed and admired. All
Spanish womed are graceful as compared
with the women of other nations, but
among them all the Andalusian are
pre-eminent in the poetry of motion,
and this Is probably the reason that,
although regular facial beauty Is per-
haps commoner in Madrid than in
Seville, ! found that you cannot pay a
greater compliment TO a girl in north
ern Spain than by asking her II she is
an Andalusian. IL would be useless 70
seek among land animals for a gait com
parable 20 that of the women Of Seville,
Cadiz, Malaga and Granada; and when
you compare IL 10 the motion Of a swan
on the water, a fish in the water, a bird
in the air, il is the birds and the fishes
that must feel complimented.

4 womAN WHO WAS cool.
How a Lady of Wealth Captured . BUR-
giar In Her Room.

-
We are reminded of an incident that
came to our knowledge some a ago
which should show women that pres
cnce of mind and the power of self
control have a saving power where i'm
pulse and lack OF courage would have
been certain destruction, says Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher in the Consumers
Journal. We may have written this
before-we are not sure-but il will
bear repeating many times if any will
profit by the lesson and learn to prac-
tice self-control and similar presence
of mind in circumstances half as start
ling. In this ease one i~nstant's waver-
ing or weakness would have cost a
life.
A lady of wealth and with the rich
surroundings and costly works Of art
that wealth brings was one evening
alone, with only one servant in the
house. Being ID her chamber as she
laid aside articles of jewclry in their
appropriate places in her bureau. she
ehanced to raise her eyes to the mirror
opposite, and from a light in the other
corner of the room she caught in the
mirror the reflection Of a figure Of a
man curled mp under a large center
table, but hiddcn from all sight save
what was gained by this reflection in
the mirror. In this way she saw one
of his hands resting on the floor. This
hand was minus two fingers, and she
knew at nee that close by her was one
of the most desperate characters whose
crimes and iendish deeds had been
the terror OF the surrounding country
for miles. Now, who could blame her
if she had screamed or made n hurried
effort TO reach the door? Had she done
so il would have sealed her fate. But
forcing herself to be calm she finished
what she was doing at the bureau. then
quietly stepping 10 the bell rang for
the one servant in the house. When
the girl appeared she quietly said;
MARY, ! wish you would u over to

greatest apparent composurc at the
very table where the mar lay conceal
ed She wrote TIE note. OF course she
wrote not for the diamonds, but for
help! The girl took the note, and
alone, absolutely, with this great ter
ror concealed close by her, the lady
waited. That no suspicion should be
aroused she busted herself putting var
ious things in different places. How
terrible must have been that waiting!
How full of JOY and safety the sound OF
the bell when the girl returned, and
with her the friend and the police, who
captured the nan before be could re-

Begonias rs Window Plants.

Begonias to be grown at their best
should have porous rich soil. with the
addition of a little leaf mold. be well
drained, not allowed to get pot-bound,
and have their roots kept moist. The
air should be kept moist by having a
dish of water on the stove, or radiator
if You have steam heat, or the water
pan should be kept full il you have
furnace-heat. A large coarse sponge
filed with water and laid among the
pots is a help. The Rex type of Be
gonias are a little difficult TO grow out
of the greenhouse, but if you will give
them a little extra ARE they will repay
YOU. They are worth it,. You cannot
find any plant with more beautiful col
oriugs and markings. They must be
kept warm mot below 80 degrees at
night, but do not want the sun to
shine directly on them. They will not
thrive if dust gets on their leaves, and
do not care TO have their leaves wet.
They will not thrive in dry air. The
very best place for them is in the fern
cry under glass; there they are perfect
ly at home. If you have no fernery.
the next best thing is a round glass
globe with q terra-cotta or zine-pan.
A good sized plant will grow under a
globe twelve inches in diameter. Such
an one has lived for three years under
a globe of this size and shows no symp-
toms of dying yet. The pan is well
drained. soil largely leaf mold. Itsets
on a small table at the back of a bay
window where it has no direct sun.
The globe is raised every morning and
the moisture wiped out. 1t needs water
but seldom. They do not like to be
turned, but let the leaves grow in one
position. One a be grown in the

sized plant in a well drained six-inch
pot. Set it in a saucer made for an
eight-inch pot, after a brick is put in

by putting water in the saucer 1t will
draw up the moisture just enough to
keep the roots moist. The water must
be renewed every day SO it will not
grow stale.-Good Housekeeping.

How1A Temperance Talker Illustrated q
xecture to Children.

How-n Temperance Tnlkcr Illustrated q
lecture to children.
1t was an interesting and novel sight
yesterday afternoon to see Prof. John
D. Daish, in delivering a lecture on the
evil effects Of alcohol on tho human
system. practically illustrated by max.
ing O mouse drunk, and showing by
chemical experiments the bad results
Of intemperance, says the Washington
Post. The lecture was delivered at the
Union chapel, on Twentieth street, near
Pennsylvania avenue, and was atten-
lively listened to by q large number Of
the members of the temperance society.
Practical illustrations OF this hind have
been given in the cities Of Chicago and
New York, but this is the first time
temperance advocates have tried It In
this city.
Inasmuch as illustrations with all
liquors would consume too much time,
the speaker simply confined himself TO
experiments with apple jack and cider.
The two liquors occupied several small
glasses. TO prove the presence of alco-
hol in the liquors he touched a match
to the liquids and the result was the
pufuluR VI VIC dlOouOl' hc " pldiHtu
that the alchohol was not in the apple
or the sugar, but was in the fermenta-
ton OF the two.
He then proceeded to experiment with
q live mouse and it was not long before
his mouseship became exceedingly
drunk. First he took the mouse out of
o yeast powder box and gave him a
small quantity Of the apple jack. The
results were astonishing, for within a
short time the mouse began to itch, and
he set about scratching his nose, like o
sadly afflicted mongrel cur.
Professor Daish explained that the
itching was caused by tho alcohol in the
mouse's system. The animal piled his
fore feet vigorously on his nasal organs,
but 0 the rapidity OF his movements
lessencd, and he began TO sink into a
stupor, staggering around in the mean
time, very much as an intoxicated per-
son would do.
Finally when he thought there was no
possible chance for continuing the jag
he quietly lay down and sank into a
state of insensibility. This afforded
the lecturer an opportunity to draw the
comparison between the effects of al
tohol on the system, and to show it's
evil results.
The experiments amused the children
very much, but we're new and novel to
their elders, and gave a practical turn TO
the lecture which made 1t doubly inter
esting.
