BEAUTIES INCREASING.
One of the Alleged Effects of Athletics

One of the Alleged Effects of Athleticisrn
Among tho Fair Sex In Europe.
The English people, and particularly
English women, arc greatly disturbed
at the statement recently made by an
American writer that there are very few
pretty girls in Europe. This writer re-
Gently made an extensive tour in the old
world, and in writing of his experiences
made the daring and positive assertion
that 'one seldom sees pretty girl in
Europe, and, if one does, she is sure to
be an American" And he further cru
ely declared that the only pretty girls
in England were the chambermaids at
the hotels. These statements, particu-
larly the latter one, were widely circu-
lated, and evoked great indignation and
warm dcnials, but withal they have
caused some discussion in London as to
whether beauty is really on the decline
in England. The well-known painter,
Ford MADDOX Brown, has warmly cs-
poused the cause of the libclcd fair ones,
and he tells the Pail Mall Gazette that,
from his experience and wide obscrva-
ton, he is sure there arc more pretty
girls to be seen than there used to be
and that young women are taller and
more handsome than formerly" He
attributes this to their living more ac-
tive lives and taking much more excr-
else in the open air.

The Value OF Platinum,

The market value of platinum Is ut
present nearly equal to that of gold,
their respective prices being ga and
"a So. Eighteen months ago, says the
Electrician, platinum was to be had for
about 80 shillings an ounce, and six
months ago the price was under e.
Apart from the question OF possible
CORNER" and the ever-increasing de-
mand for platinum for electrical pur-
poses, this 160 per cent rise in price
within eighteen months may be at
tributed in large measure to the in
creased cost of production at the mines
in the Ural mountains, whence we draw
our chief supply Of the metal. The
owners of these mines, owing to their
large yield of gold, were able TO sell
platinum comparatively cheap; the
gold, however, is now becoming scarce,
and hence the platinum, which is still
plentiful, can no longer be sold at SO
low figure. Platinum, besides being
used for the leading-in wires of glow
lamps, Is largely used for electrodes in
clectro-chcmical work, and up to the
present no satisfactory substitute for it
has been fonnd so far as these applica-
tions are concerned"

Surplus Professionals.

France is suffering almost as much
as Germany from the overcrowding of
the learned professions. Fifteen thou
sand school mistresses, 1000 primary
school mistresses and 500 high-school
instructors are looking in vain for en-
ploymcnt. There are $1,000 French
physicians; that is about 5000 or 1000
more than there are in Germany, with
its 10000 more inhabitants. Paris has
500 apothecaries. Two thousand law
yers in Paris, who have passed all pre-
liminary examinations for full prac-
tice, can not make livings in their pro-
fession. Civil and mining engineers arc
so numerous that hundreds of them are
seeking eagerly petty positions in mines
and factories.

Now Business for the Postmaster.

The people who want something for
nothing are very closely related to tho
people who are always trying to send
strangers on strange errands for them.
There is woman living in Chicago,
says the Buffalo Express, who has
husband engaged in some sort of bust
ness in Buffalo, and, of course, the poor
wife wants to know how he is behaving
himself. She probably has no friends
here, or, If she had, it wouldn't be safe
to ask them. So what does she do but
write, in a neat and ladylike hand a
letter to the postmaster, and ask if he
won't take n stroll down to where the
other half is supposed to be. and see
how and where he spends his evenings.
Not receiving reply very promptly,
she writes again. From all indications,
however, she Is not likely to get salts

Tho Great Work Done by Count Rumford
In Bayarla.

In Bavaria.
The Churchman, in connection with
the discussion of General Booths scheme
Tor the relief of the unfortunate and
criminal classes in England, prints q
very interesting article on tho great
work which Count Rumford. the Amer
lean citizen, accomplished in abolishing
beggary in Bavaria one hundred years
ago. Count Rumford's achievements
are well worth recalling at this time,
when SO much attention is being given
to General Booths plans in England.
After the Count had made the soldiers
OF the standing army in Bavaria useful
members of society in time Of peace by
making tho garrisons permanent, the
quarters comfortable and introducing
various industries for the soldiers to en-
gage IN for pay, he began to reform the
beggars, and the story of his success in
that undertaking Is q most entertaining
one.
Munich was practically Mt the mercy
OF mendicants, and tho task which
Count Rumford set for himself was:
1. The complete extirpation Of pauper-
ism from Bavaria Q. The improvement
OF the condition of the pauper GLASS to
degree which they themselves must
appreciate. 3. A complete removal of
the causes Of paupcrism which then
existed 4. Tho restoration of the
paupers to the State as virtuous and
worthy citizens. Those who had lived
by begging were made to engage in in
dustry and those unable to work. were
supported without begging. The people
found that there was no way to live
without toll, and the center of the new
system was the military work-house, so
called because the new industrial power
was used in the manufacture of army
clothing and supplies, and because it
finally passed under the control of tho
War Department.. There was n school
Tor children in connection with tho
work-house, and out of school hours
tho little ones were taught to work,
and tho teaching was accompanied by
the use of SO much tact that work be-
came delight. And SO the paupcrism
which for generations had fed on in
dolence and ignorance was abolished in
a whole country and with it the crime
which goes hand in hand with wretch
edness and misery.

A VERY POPULAR MAN.

Mr.. Phillips Dined at the Anderson Early
in the Evening, and Was in Good Health.
Jacob A. Phillips, who died so suddenly
at his home on Center avenue late Saturday
night, was a very popular and lovable man.
He took most of his meals at the Anderson
Hotel, where he was a general favorite
among the regular boarders. He was also
we'll known to the commercial travellers,
and many regrets were heard on all sides at
the hotel yesterday over his unexpected
death.
At o'clock he dined at the Anderson
with Ed Jackman and Frank Daniels, the
actor. He was in good spirits, and seemed
to be in the best of health. At midnight,
when he got home from the store, he was
seized with a violent caughing fit, and be-
fore doctor could be called he was dead.
His body will be taken to Philadelphia this
morning, on the limited, for burial MIR.
Phillips was q well-to-do man, and built up
large clothing trade in Pittsburg. He
leaves considerable wealth for distribution
among his heirs. He was fond of the
theaters and great first nighter. One OF
his hobbies was cultiyating fine and rare
flowers. At his home on Center ave-
nue., he has garden and conserva-
tory in which he spent much of his
time. He liked TO work among the plants,
and was quite successful in developing corn
flowers, the favorite flower of the Chinese
A few days ago he appeared at the Ander-
son with one of them fully opened The
flower was put on exhibition in floral
store window.
Mr.. Phillips was very charitable IN
quiet way. He never cared to have his nu-
merous benefactions published to the world.

BELIEVES TRUSTS ARE ILLEGAL.
James A. Chambers Tells How Manufact-
urers Should Unite.

James A. Cham oers Tells HOW manufact-
urers Should Unite.
It is generally thought among glass men
that the window glass manufacturers will
fail to form the proposed combination at
their meeting tomorrow. Two reasons are
given for their failure. One is that some of
the manufacturers have held aloof from the
scheme, and the other is that laws recently
passed caused some of them to hesitate be-
fore entering trust.
The window glass men wished merely to
form pool to sell their glass through one
agent. They would retain the management
of their plants and would receive profits in
proportion to the amount of glass they
manufactured. The plan that was to be
adopted at to-morrow's meeting was at best
makeshift and could net be permanent
believe if the matter were ever taken
to court all trusts would be shown to be
illegal About year ago when the Ameri
can Window Glass Company was projected
prominent lawyers informed the members
that they would go into it at their own risk.
James A. Chambers said last night: 'It
is now almost impossible to effect combi-
nation. The law of Illinois, under which
the United Glass Company was chartered,
makes st sort of conspiracy to join into
combination to keep up prices The only
way that manufacturers can combine is by
forming regular corporation and stock
company. Many manufacturers object to
this plan because their plants will be
placed under one general management, and
the manufacturers will thus lose their in
dividuality The United States Glass Com
pany and the United Glass Company
are both regularly incorporated concerns.
