Cleopatra on Coins.

Ancieut coins. which are the only
trunsmitters of her appearance, do not
bear out the reputation for great beau'
ty which Cleopatra has enjoyed. The
authentic portrait of the Egyptian
queen that is known TO arch@ologists
is bust which appears on series OF
coins. II is on the reverse. and bears
the inscription in Greek. Queen Cleo
patra. the Divine. the Younger while
on the diverse is portrait Of Antony,
Dictator for the Third Time, Trium-
vir.n The workmanship of the coin Is
far from good, and this accounts In
some measure for the INCIDENTALLY plain
appearance of the queen. Yet the
likeness so far as the features 60. Is q
true one for the other coins OF the
same series. though Of a different type,
give her the same features--an aquiline
nose. 4 strong chin, long neck, and
narrow shoulders.

PRETTY GIRLS AND OTHER KINDS.
A Comparison Between Men and Women
on the Question OF Looks.

It does not matter much to a boy
whether he is good-looking or the re-
verse. He is not obliged to wait for
somebody to ask him to dance. and his
matrimonial prospects don't appear to
suffer any serious discount from
personal shortages that would send q
girls stock away down below par. or
even put her out of the market alto
gether.
One never sees q man so hideous or
repulsive but that some woman is
ready to marry him. IL he will only ask
her; but men are less philanthropic,
and so the ugly girls are generally left
to run to waste as unappropriated
blessings. :.
The Handsome is as handsome does"
theory won't hold ut all after We get
out OF the nursery. and a little ex-
perience soon convinces US that it is a
fraud and delusion. like that other
domestic fiction about the drum
stick being the choicest part OF the
fowl, with which our elders used to inn
pose upon the unsuspecting simplicity
Of our childhood.
We ugly girls never get any drives
in the Park nor free seats at the
theater; and as for ice cream aud
French candy, no matter how hand
somelv we deport ourselves we
shouldn't know the taste of either II
we waited to have it bestowed upon
us as a reward of merit.
Indeed, the expensiveness OF being
au ugly girl is one of the worst things
about it; there are no perquisites. We
get none of the plums out of LIES pud-
ding. for under present conditions men
do the carving. and. us one OF them
says, "all the fine things we think aud
say about women apply to those only
who are tolerably good-looking or
graceful"
Now, suppose that the same rule APP
Piled to men, and that only the good
looking ones could hope to attain
to wealth and distinction; suppose fol
instance. that the famous wart Oh
Oliver Cromwell's nose had been
sufficient to condemn him to obscurity.
MS it inevitably would have done had
he been been woman; suppose Grover
Clevelands too ample girth OF waist
had kept him out Of the White House,
as it certainly would have kept Mrs.
Cleveland out had she been the un'
lucky possessor of that inconvenient
superfuity; or suppose David b. Hills
bald pate had rendered him ineligible
to the Office of Governor of New York,
MS have not the shadow of u doubt
that bald head would render any
woman in America ineligible to the
Office of Governors wife; suppose,
in fact, that bald head was
sufficient to blast any mans prospects
in life rs effecually as it would any
woman's-I think most Of the middle
aged men. 1t least, into whose hands
this paper may fall, will admit thai
that would be little hard.
And, in fact. isn't it just a little hard
that anybody's destiny in life should
be made to depend irrctrievably upon
an accident over which they have no
control, such AS having been born
with red head or u pug nose? But
this is the law under which women
have lived since the beginning OF time
and it doesn't give the ugly girls ialI
chance.-LippincOtS.

numerous families Of distinction
that eagerly sought my acquaint-
ance cared whether had In
tellect or intrinsic personal worth;
IL sufficed to them that l kept q
carriage and pair, an elegant and costly
eouipage, softly lined with satin and
drawn by two Arabian mares as black
as polished ebony. The value OF my
friendship was measured by the luXur-
iousness OF my box at the opera, and by
the dainty fittings Of my yacht, swirl
trim vessel furnished with every luxury,
and having on board band OF stringed
instruments which discoursed sweet
music when the moon emptied her horn
OF silver radiance on the ripping water.
In little while knew everybody VINO
was worth knowing In Naples; every
where my name was talked OF, my doings
were chronicled in the fashionable
newspapers: stories Of my lavish gener'
osity were repeated from mouth 10
mouth, and the most highly colored re-
ports of my immense revenues were
whispered with kind Of breathless awe
at every cafe and street corner. trades
men waylaid my reticent valet, Vincen-
zio. and gave him douceurs in the hope
he would ok;ain my custom for them
tips" which he pocketed in his usual
reserved and discreet manner, but
which he was always honest enough to
tell me of afterwards. He would most
faithfully give me the name and ADDRESS
OF this or that particular tempter OF his
fidelity, always adding-"As TO whether
the rascal sells good things or bad our
Lady only knows. but truly he gave me
thirty francs to secure your eXcellency $
good will. Though for all that l would
not recommend him II your eXcellency
knows of an honester man."
Among other distinctions which my
wealth forced upon me, where the LAVISH
attentions OF matchmaking mothers
The black spectacles which / always
wore, were not repulsive to these dlpio-
matte dames-oh the contrary some OF
them assured me they were most oecom-
ing, so anxious were they to secure me
as n son-in-law. Fair girls in their
teens, blushing and ingenious, were ART,
fully introduced to me-or, l should
say, thrust forward like slaves In n
market for my inspection-though, to do
them Justice, they were remarkably
shrewd and sharp-witted for their
tender years. Young as they were, they
were keenly alive to the Importance OF
making good match-and no doubt the
pretty innocent laid many dainty schemes
in their own minds Of liberty aud en- joy
ment when one or the other OF them
should become the Countess Olivia, and
fool the old black specialized husband to
10 her hearts content. Needless to say
their plans were not destined to be full
filed, though l rather enjoyed studying
the many devices they employed to las
cinate me. What pretty ogling glances

WINE TRICK.
IL Takes Time and Skill to Do 1t. But It
May Be Done.

The game, or puzzle, or trick. or ex-
pertinent, or whatever you like to call
It, which is given here requires some
skill and patience. You take, SAYS
the Boston Globe, two wine-glasses of
the same size fill one with claret or
any other dark wine, and the other
with water But don't do it on the
dinner table-at all events not while
the table-cloth is on it-for unless
tou are careful you may spill the
VINE: and you know that those who
soil the tabl9cloth have to kiss the
laundress. Next you cover the glass of
water with a card and pnt it upside
down on the glass filled with wine, so
that the two brinms fit exactly on
each other. Tim you move the card
between the two glasses just sufficiently
to leave a small opening between the
two glasses. The water Immediately
begins to flow into the wine. and the
wine, which is the lighter of the two
fluids, mounts into the glass on the
top.
1t take quit a long teme-nearly an
honr-to complete the experiment, but
you will then see that the wine and
water have exchange places, and the
water has driven the wine into the
upper house."

comes Impossible to detect movements
on the earths surface with the naked
eye, but with the aid of a telescops
this can be done. The fastest train
seems TO be going at a snail's pace,
and a running horse seems to make

there is no feeling of giddiness what

The young wife will act wisely and
for the happiness of all. herself in

strives to bar the entrance to quarrels
by loving patience, gentle words, and
ready forgiveness; but this plan of
