MODERN GIRLS.
They Are Not Given to Old Fash
Toned Follles.

"She oughten to be toolSen without
her dress-body. She wasn't niceT
said little maiden who was gazing
for the first time upon the portrait of
her Observation-Disclosures who in
her day was beauty OF colonial repu-
tation. and who was portrayed in q
Josephine gown of that time.
Frivolous maidens are often re-
minded OF the modesty, sense, and ex-
quisitely proper manners OF their
grandmammas. But the remainders
should take peep buck into the his
tory of the fashions of century ago
and then get down on both knees and
adore the modern girl.
The modern girl OF fashion avoids
rogue. pomades, creams and lotions as
sine does poison, and only comes to
them by slow degrees. when time
puts its seal upon her; but here is an
extract from letter written in 1890 by
a young girl to her schoolmate:
although, Patty, it is indeed a rare
pleasure to have escaped the tedious hours
devoted TO history, polite literature, and
the languages, yet would fain give up the
gayety Of ball, and dan e and assembly for
a taste of our quiet life. l am obliging to
rise at O'Clock and spend two hours be-
fore my mirror, where my abigail does my
hair over great rolls, adorns It with pow
der, and beauties my face with lotions,
rouge, and little black patches on the cheek
and chin. My stays mako my form ele-
gantly slender, but l am often obliged TO
return 10 my apartment several times Of an
evening to recover my BREATH
Speaking of the stays worn CEN
fury ago, says the Mornina journal,
social history tells us that the beauti-
full Dolly Mansions waist measured
but seventeen inches, and that Mrs.
Alexander Hamilton's waist WAS but an
inch larger.

BLACK Haired Women.

How many black-haired women do
you know asks the New York Sun.
II you take the trouble to count, you
will find that out OF ten women you
meet nine will have blonde hair of
some shade and the tenth will possess
dark brown rather than black. The
tendency of the times seems to be to-
ward light-haired women, and, by the
bye, do not mean the ones whose
hair is made light by the use OF per-
oxide OF hydrogen.
Scientists tell as that as n nation
grows more civilized its wemen grow
more perfectly blonde, and students in
the mysteries OF love say that blonde
women are the most atfectionate wives
aud the least faithful. This is thing
that no man can find out by personal
experience, but it's rather interesting
TO know.
Curious contrasts are occasionally
noted In families, and none are m ore
emphasized than that between Mary
Eastlake and her sister Miss Eastlahe
has halo OF the most exquisite blonde
hair without HAT OF yellow, just
such pure perfect blonde as you occa-
sionally see on babies, and which IL is

Their dresses had been made ex-
pressly for the occasion and showed
remarkable variety OF styles, some
of them being of the latest Partisan
order and others a compromise be-
tween the robes OF the Turkish lady
of rank and those of the western
European. Such sight in any capt.
tai of Europe except Constantinople
would have been an impossibility. 1t
was incongruous in the last degree,
and the empress, although she had
come resolved to show surprise at
nothing, could not repress a smile.
Some OF the dresses, as she learned
afterward, cost as high as 5000 each,
and they were certainly very becom-
ing to the beautiful wearers, whose
dark, expressive eyes and graceful
figures were shown to the best advan-
tage. In the rooms OF the harem
coffee and sweetmeats, with figs,
pastries and other danties were served.
The inmates gathered around the
royal guest and showed the greatest
interest In her visit.

Mr.. Labouchere on Emperors.

Whatever my own opinion OF kings
may be, i do not think much OF en-
perors. That adventurer, Louis Ma
poleon, became one by blood and per-
jury, and in order TO strengthen, as he
imagined, his dynasty he dragged his
country into an unsuccessful war. In
Germany they have an emperor, a
vain, Eighty lad. who is endowed with
q devouring wish TO force on Euro
pean war in order to equal or surpass
the martial renown of his grandfather.
In Russia there is an mperorskulking
in the recesses OF his palace lest one
OF his faithful subjects should shoot
him, and under the delusion that he is
Gods vicegerent on earth. In Turkey
there is an emperor Qor by this term
would sultan be translated) who allows
his soldiers anu civil servants to starve
while he makes a purse for himself,
and who encourages ia his dominions
the worst of atrocities. or all living
emperors, now that Dom Pedro has
been retired from the business, the
emperor OF Austria is the best He Is
well-meaning man, whose chief
merit is that he has shared power with
his subjects and quieted Hungary by
giving 1t home rule. On the whole,
therefore I think that the most sensi-
BILE course for those afflicted with an
emperor is civility to conduct him TO a
ship, and order the captain TO land
him wherever he likes, provided 1t be
GU tsidefof what he is pleased TO call
his empire.

Suiride To Order

Science not only accounts for a great
deal, says the Pail Mall Budget, but
has a great deal 20 account for. The
other day NJ. Charcot publicly hypno-
tized gendarme and then told him to
assassinate Mr.. Grevy, whom he would
find in the corner of the garden. The
poor constable went out and stabbed n
tree with a paper knife and came back
trembling and confessed the murder.
Such feats have been done in Leeds as
well as in Paris, and we know what is
the power of the magnetizer. 1t has
hitherto been one OF the fairy tales OF
science, but now it is said to have
added a new and terrible chapter to
the records of crime. One waits for
proof, but accusation is definite
enough.
One malefactor, French libertine
actually in the hands OF the police, is
said to have selected his victims,
choosing those OF an emotional tenn
permanent. and then to have magnet
lied them and ordered them to COM
NIT suicide. One poor girl did do so.

Tubercle In fectiOn.

DR.. Cornet, OF Berlin, has lately in
sisted on the fact, observed by others,
that the breath OF tuberculous persons
does not contain any bacilli. but that
they are confined to the sputa, and that,
their vitality not being destroyed by
dessication. infection takes place only
when they are diffused like du st
through the air from sputa allowed TO
dry on the floor or in haudkerch iefs.
DIR. Beaumetz reports striking illus
tration from its danger. In large
establishment in Paris, where twenty
two clerks were employed for eight
hours daily in an ill-ventilated room,
giving only few cubic feet per head,
no fewer than fourteen died OF tuber-
culous since the first, eleven years ago.
They had been in the habit of expec-
torating on the floor, which was ill-laid
and rough and swept each morning,

escort, more modern styles are effected.
Victoria Augusta sat on an exquisitely-
upholstered divau and chatted pleas
antly for an hour with the sultanas,
while ebony-skinned Nubian slaves
waited on them with refreshments. She
had a glimpse, too, of some OF the
amusements of the harem. and the
sweetest singers sang and the finest
musicians played for her qualification.
Like others who have been privileged
with n glimpse OF the inner life OF the
sergalio, she noted the indolent luxury
of the women, their love of friends and
their passion for knowledge concerning
the outer world.
She received the impression that
majority of the women were COMPARE
lively happy and contented with their
surroundings. ambition and the quail
ties that belong to higher intelligence
being found among the sultanas only.
Some of the latter, she discovered,
were in no wise behind European
ladies in education and feminine ac-
complishmenta On taking her de-
parture each sultana rendered her a
gift OF some rare jewel or precious
trinket to the guest.
That the sultan was charmed with
his fair visitor was undoubted. Dur
ing her stay at the capital he was
devoted and constant in his personal
attentions, and his gallantry in seeing
to her comforts was fully appreciated
by the emperor. He gave her per-
mission to build Protestant chapel
at Bethlehem-a boon often asked and
as often denied to others-and he even
pointed out II fitting site for it. While
he showered presents on others, to the
empress his gifts were on scale OF
princely magnifcence. She received
from him diamond and pearl clasp
for a mantle, rich carpets and great
quantities OF silks and oriental stuffs
and hangings. To tho emperor he
gave a sword inlaid with precious
stones in the hilt four jet black
arabian horses with covers OF such
workmanship that they are almost as
valuable as the animals themselves, and
an enormous supply OF cigarettes.
These latter were sent on board the
kaiser's own ship, just previous to
her departure for home. At the same
time there were sent to the vessel
many beautiful presents for the serv-
ants OF the royal pair and whole
wagonful of the famous ''sweets OF the
harem"-the delicious fig-paste, the
secret of whose manufacture Turkey
alone possesses.
