FRENCH BEAUTIES.
Various Changes in the Prevailing Styles
 of Ga1lic Loveliness.

Various Changes in the Prevailing Styles
 of Ga1liC Loveliness.
 France, says the Gau1ois, has revo- !lution every fifteen or twenty years, so 1; the beauties can be classed by regime. Each group has it's distinguishing type. The first empire beauty was divinelv tall and classic in her feature and bear ing and a wee bit sentimental. That of the restoration was less in inches and greater in girth, though slender of waist. She was simple and unpretend- ing, with withal the savoir vivre of edu- cation and nobility of race. Eugene Louis has immortalized the beauty of the monarchy of July. She, too, was graceful and elegant, but more modern. Who has not read in the annals of the citizen king of the Duchess de Dino, the Marquise de'Talleyrand-Pe -Perigord, one of the most famous of court beauties? Her rivals were the Princesse de Liebea, the Princesse Belgiojos, Baronne de Vatry, Duchesses de Daematie and de Fitz- James, who used to call herself queen of England-a harmless usurpation- the Countesses Leon and de la Redorte There still survives Liardieres (nee Munster) therefore with Guelph blood Mime. Liardieres has an admiring salon still, her features are handsome and her manners charming. The most impos- ing beauty of Louis Philippe's time was the Duchess d'Istrie, who always wore white satin, scarlet ribbons in her raven hair and diadem of splendid diamonds. The Comtesse de Fitz-James had fair tresses and opulent shoulders. There are other names of less prominent note, marquises and duchesses of beauty and wit. Of the professional beauties" there was the Duchesse d'Elchingen, one of the most perfect models that ever sat to painter or sculptor. Mime. Odin comes second. Her blonde tre sses measured yard and a half long-a record of departed glories.

 The dahlia was not an inmate of our gardens before the present century. It was named after Dr. Dahl, and was introduced into Europe about the year 1802, says the Detroit Free Press. It belongs to the same order of plants to which belongs the sunfowers and chrysanthemums. It is a native of Mexico, and dourishs on sandy plains five thousand feet above the sea, form ing large bushes seven or eight feet high. When it was first known it's flowers were single, with a yellow disk and dull scarlet ray petals.
 Cultivation has not only changed it's flowers, it has changed also it's time of towering, the height of it's growth and even the shape of it's seeds. Now there are dwarf kinds, hardly two feet high, which are in full blossom in the end of June. The tubers were at one time used for food in France, but they are sharp and harsh in taste, and of lit tie value as an esculent.
 During the last few years the single form of the dahlia has come in favor. These single flowers, at first only red and yellow, are gradually giving rise to many beautiful varieties of shade and color.

The Lost River.

A puzzle to geologists is the Lost river of Idaho. It first appears in two threads of stream north of the Yellow stone park. These streams come together forty miles above Idaho Falls City, and, forming a rapid river, flow along for two miles when the volume of water disappears suddenly in sub tcrranean passage. A theory very gen erally entertained IS that the Lost river comes to the surface again as part of the Snake river, which supplies Idaho Falls City with it's wonderful water power. The Snake river has it's origin in little lake in Yellowstone park that does not hold enough water to be the source of great river. Neverthe- less the Snake is 1000 feet wide, short distance east of the city, and in it's limits pours & vast volume of water through deeplycut gorge. Here the river is so deep that a plummet of near ly 400 feet has not touched bottom. As the Snake river is originally an insig- nifcant stream the theory that the waters of the Lost river unite with it seems to be tenable, although geolo' gists have been unable to demonstrate the fact.

Consequently, when the three gathered about a round table in the middle of the room on the corner of Broadway and Twenty fifth street, Dorison looked about for the old detective He was not pres ent as yet. Noting his absence, but be- lieving he would soon appear, he gave himself up to the enjoyment of the din- ner.
 Dorison and Eustace were manifestly drawn toward each other; it was plain to Bushnell that they had discovered a great liking for each other almost at first sight, and they did not part for the even- ing until they had made plans for an early meeting.
 Finally, Eustace and Bushnell rose, bent upon an engagement they had pre- viously made. As they donned their overcoats, a man with black bushy beard and hair, who had been sitting at an ad- joining table, rose also, passed close to Dorison on his way out. The latter felt a slip of paper thrust between his fir. gers.
 So soon as he could he looked at the slip. It was bit torn from the margin of a newspaper, and on it was pencile6 these words, "Wait for me in the office of the hotel"

A PALATIAL STATION
One in Germany That Cost Four Million
 DnIIorS

One in Germany That Cost Four Million
 Dollars.
 The most costly of all the Berlin rail way stations is the Anhalter station, said to have cost four million dollars. One can hardly credit the statement, as the farmhouse contains only six tracks. Most of the money was spent on the front building. It is simply palace. None of our public buildings in Wash ington has an entrance hall which is at all comparable to the great vestibule and staircases of this building. Even the great railway stations of London are completely surpassed by the An halter station, which is the terminus for trains running to Erfurt, Madge- burg, Carlsbad, Halle, Cassel, Frank furt-on-the-Main, and many other points.
 At this station, says the Boston Her aid, as at the Potsdam station, small trunks and all minor luggage belong ing to passengers are carried upstairs to the main floor of the station by the porters. The heavier luggage is taken up by the hydraulic elevators that play so important part in all Berlin railway stations. There is an enormous res taurant and waiting rooms on the track floor of the station, the first and second class passengers being carefully separ- ated from the third and fourth class. The tracks leading out of this station are elevated, and run past fve-story buildings for a long distance. The sta. tion is really in the heart of the city now, although thirty years ago the To- cation would have been regarded as almost on the outskirts.

Jaws of Ants.

Ants have very powerful jaws, con- sidering the size of their bodies, and therefore their method of fighting is by biting. They will bite one another and hold on with powerful grip of their jaws, even after their legs have been bitten off by other ants Sometimes six or eight ants will be clinging with death grip to one another, making a peculiar spectacle, and Some with half of the body gone. One singular fact is that the grip of an ants jaw is re-
 tained even after the body has beer bitten off and nothing but the head re-

nal was transferred to Jefferson, where they issued it.
 At the age of 19 William Dean How els became Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette; and at the age of 22 he was news editor of the State Journal at Columbus. It was during this period that he began to contribute to the Atlantic Month ly, his first poem being entitled ''By the Dead" He contributed some five or six poems during that time to the Atlantic. In 1860, when Lincoln was assassinated, he wrote his life, and his share of the profits, one hundred and sixty dollars, paid his ex- penses on a trip made to Montreal and Boston. While at 1.-The Hub" he formed 1 the acquaintance of James Russell Lowell, then the editor of the Atlantic, and by him the young poet was intro duced to Oliver Wendell Holmes. He was appointed by President Lincoln as | United States consul to Venice, where he remained from 1861 to 1865. It was I during this period that he mastered the Italian language, read Italian litera- ture, and devoted himself to thorough cultivation of polite letters. He pulp lished series of letters on Venetian Life," published in book form in Eng land, which gave him a pronounced position in literary circles. It is said that Venice was never so faithfully photographed.
 His first real story was that called ''Their Wedding Journey" which was from the beginning success. This dc- termined his career as writer of fic- tion. Since that time his works have followed rapidly one after another The Century and Harper's have been the chief avenues for the preliminary pub ication of his works. In 1SS283 Mir. Howells was agaln in Europe with his family, and since his return home has been in Boston. 1886 he become a sal aried contributor to Harper's.

 Dorison had fallen again into what he called aimless dawdling. The high hopes of rapid progress he had begun to enter tain died within him and despair took possession.

A Pelican's Pouch.

In Gray's harbor, Washington, the pelican is common sight. Capt. Berg man, of the steamer Typhoon, shot two of the birds the other day, and, in order to find out how much water the pouch of this bird would hold, he cut off the head of one of them and tied a string tightly about the neck. Water from a faucet was allowed to flow in, and when the pouch was filled it contained six crallnnS

The giraffe is in danger of extinction Yen years ago herds of seventy 'or eighty could be found, where to-day thirteen would be large herd. An African chieftain, however, Khama, has taken the giraffe under his proteo- tion and preserves it, just as the czar of Russia has preserved in a forest ot Lithuania the European bison from ex- tinction.
