FEMALE BEAUTY.

1t is Not Always Found Among the Mlns-
 ing Aristocrats.
 All rural beauty does not consist of red arms freckled faces and stout ankles. You will find in quiet farm homes, types of beauty that would cast into shade, complete. obscure, the hot-house plants of the city's social life. And our rural types, bound to fade in artificial mn and heat, would be heraled as types of native beauty, when no kind few would dare to call attention to their worth in their native surroundings. I am no stickler for scots or sections Beauty can be found among the crowded tenements of lower New York that will vic in each and every distinction with that of Fifth avenue. Beauty can be found in the old hills of New Hamp- shir~ that can put to flight the be-dia- monded belle of Chicago. Memphis. fam,,,,s for it's many queens of beauty, would hide it's head were the really beautiful women from it's rural parts call<d forth. You will never print the faces of Ameuican types of native beau ty ,until the owners of these same faces find fame in the social wo,Sd, learn half a oozen different tongues. and make two lands, separated by wide expanse of water. fall down and worship them. To be the feted queen of the few is not to be the queen of the many. There are hundreds, thousands of admirers who admire the rural beauty where but a privileged score may scarce approach tho precincts of the social beauty.

A Queer HallucfnatiOn.

Inspector Byrnes tells story of n merchant who lives in New York and is reputed as sane as anyone could be, came to him and said that his wife was being annoyed by anonymous letters from woman who was trying to black mail him, He went on tell about the contents of the letters, and the inspector began to feel interested in the case, which he realized was difficult. At length he said:
 Il can see only one way. We must bring this woman face to face with your wife"
 No, no,' said the merchant, 'rhat would never do. You see my wife is a wonderful woman. She can read peo- ple's thoughts. She can look right into my mind and see what is going on there. All she has to do is to take hold of my great toe. Then she reads my thoughts"
 The inspector caught on at once, and remarked that this was a strong objec- tion. He got rid of the man as soon us possible and never saw him again. As he is still doing business, it is supposed that he keeps his craze to himself and carefully guards his feet from his wife.

Professional Posing.

One of the foremost women artists of Now York is emphatic in insisting that | majority of studio-models are modest, clever women. She says the ordinary price paid is $1 morning, or thirty three and one-half cents an hour, pos ing thirty and resting fifteen minutes. It is tremendously trying work, neces- sitating considerable training to make R subject available for an artists pur-- poses. Prettiness of form and feature are strong recommendations to favor,- but women of heroic mold with charac- teristic and marked faces, arc prized above beauties, and are often able tO' command very high rates. As an i'm stance of the possibility of the Irofes- sion, she told of two little Italian boys. brothers, who support family of nine members solely with money earned in this way. They are charmingly hand sone chaps, with lustrous southern eyes. They sit for pictures of fruit vendors, acolytes, boy princes, etc. So easily and surely do the young foreign CTS make living. that with the aban- don common to their race. both parents have resigned labor. and with i've other children subsist upon the studio profits of their two eldest sons. -- From tEo Illustrated American.

HUNTING A WILD STEER. Mad Pursuit of "A Bad Bovine in the
 Woods of Maine.

Thomas McReavey. who lives some where in Washington county lately bought yoke of four-y -year-old steers of William C. Holway for beef to use in the woods, says the Lewiston Jour nal. The animals were already in the woods, where they had been through the summer. and the new conner started the other day to drive them in. The steers were found the first day, says the Whitneyville correspondent of a Machias paper, and after hard race were driven to the Bacon barn and camp, Mir. McReavey concluded he could transport his beef cheaper on foot than with teams so he obtained two stout ropes. each about forty feet in length. with which he secured his steers.
 Three stout men were placed at the end of either rope and two behind each steer to act as ''tile closers." He then commanded Il forward movement. The force on the ropes pulled and the file After sulking awhile the steers made plunge ahead. snaking the men along at a fearful rate for considerable dis tance until an opportunity presented to take turn around tree, when they stumbled and were thrown heavily to the ground. The tactics of prodding up and snubbing were repeated until one of them gave in and walked quiet ly to camp. The other was not 60 easily subdued, but outgeneraled his adversaries and left them all prostrate upon the ground from sheer exhaustion, and with forty feet of rope as a trophy Of victory won. he marched to the bad lands" The next morning Mir. McReavey filled his pockets with doughnuts and renewed the chase. which he keptup for four days. During that time it is estimated that six-mile township had been crossed about four score times without any perceptib,- abatement of speed. and that steer is still going.

Long Distance Laughter.

Did you ever laugh by telegraph Probably not. It would hardly pay. When one reflects that it would cost a cent or two Der chuckle to express his sense of amusement he refrains from manifesting it and lets it go.
 But laughing is done by telegraph. It Is tho telegraph operators who in- dulge in this luxury. and mostly the night operators, who have moro time than the day people. When an oper- ator becomes lonely and his saunders are clicking out messages not intended for him. he calls up some friend operator. maybe a hundred squares away. and opens a conversation.
 A conversation. of course, cannot be continued long before something fun ny" is said. It then becomes the duty operator to laugh. This he does by making four dots, then one dot and a dash. thus. .... -. spelling ha. Thus to all jokes he replies h-a, h-a- !. Sometimes to make it easier, he says hi, that is, four dots and two dots.
 The laugh by telegraph is necessarily cold and sardonic. It does not bubble irresistibly to the surface. It is the result of deliberate purpose. When one has sufficient self-control to laugh in this way, probably his tribute to your joke is not what you would desire. But the operator is often shaken with laughter before shaking his key with it, so to speak.
 Telegraph operators have few other conversational expressions, among them 'hm." four dots and two dashes, indicating surprise.

SHE WAS "BUSINESS."

 in Her Woman's Heart.

in Her Woman's Heart.
 A rickety old wagon, drawn by . pair of lean old mules came around the corner of the freight house. \ little old woman was holding the lines and three or four tow-headed children were behind her.
 "Hee-up. Jerusalem!" she called to the of mule who shiei at freight car, and with twitch and yank and cut she wheeled the team around and backed up to the platform.
 'Whar's the express fellerP" she asked as she jumped out and came along cracking her whip. "Oh, you are the chap? Wall, the old mans thar in the wagon. want to ship him up to Erin"
 Il don't see him." replied tho agent as he looked into the wagon.
 '.He 'un's in the coffin tharp I'm going up with it to Erin. How much to payp"
 They went to the office and arranged matters, and the coffin was taken from the wagon and placed on truck. Then the woman returned to the wagon and said to the eldest boy:
 'Now you Rube, you drive slow and don't worry them mewls, and the rest of you all behave yourselves. Come down fur me Wednesday, and bring jag of con to sell with you. Hee-up, now!"
 When the wagon had gone she turned to Ills and explained:
 off c,,1A and Two had to move lively. He 'un wanted to be buried at home, and 1 wouldn't disappoint him." "Yonr husbandp' asked.
 "Sartin. Lived together nigh on to thirty years. Reckon you all are amazed that l don't cry and take on, but thar's heaps 10 see to. and it all falls on me. Only half an hour afore the train, and I've got twenty things to think about"
 We voted her full of business, but rather hard-hearted. but we had to change our mind about that. She sud- denly disappeared and as we walked along to the cotton bales piled high on the platform we heard a grieving and sobbing and then . voice of la1nenta- ton cried out:
 "Oh, Jim, old man, it's the Lords will, but can't abide it! I'm holdin' up and tryin' to be brave, but my old hearts being drownded out by tears which the eyes won't shed! I'm a-waitin' till 1 git back home whar | kin slop down and hev it out with my sorrow!"
 And two minutes latershe was stand- irg at the ticket window and saying: '.Reckon these kivered kyars never do be on time, but 1 want no fussin' around in this case or somebody Il get sued. Hain't got but two days to put him through and git back home" New York Sun,

INSANITY'S ODD FREAKS.
ILLUSIONS OF PERSONS OTHER
 WISE SANE.
Startling Freak of m Ex- Banker-A Chi- cago Merchants HaiIucination- Other Remarkable Cases
 Called to Mind.

Not long ago m old man, looking
 like a rich. retired merchant or banker,
 walked into the office of one of the fore
 most publishing houses of New York
 md asked to see the head of the firm. That gentleman recognized the caller
 as man who twenty-years ago had
 been the junior member of a grea. Wall
 street firm. He also remembered that the senior member had been one of Lincoln's most trusted advisers in finan- cial matters. The ex-banker said: You will remember that my partner, who died about six months ago, was very prominent during the civil war. Every one in New York knows that Lincoln many times courted his counsel. Now. have In my possession papers and memoranda showing how much Lincoln was indebted to him. This in- formation is deeply interesting, and, might say, of a startling character. thought, perhaps, we might make some arrangements to write memoir. feel certain that it would pay, besides being fair tribute 10 my friend and throwing much light on history"  The ex-banker went on to tell that he had proof that his partner drew the original draft of the Emancipation Proclamation. besides doing many other things of vital importance. The publisher was delighted, and made ar engagements for writer to call at the l x-banker's house on q certain day and begin work. The publisher talked with the ex-banker for an hour or
 more and they separated, equally well pleased. At the appointed time the writer called and began to discuss the forthcoming book. After some time | the ex-banker said:
 There is one thing 1 have not yet told you, and it Is the most important of all." His voice sank 10 a mysterious whisper: My partner assassinated Mir. Lincoln"
 No" said the writer. drawing back
 and looking at the ex-banker in an as- tonishcd way.
 Yes" said the x-banker. "hc killed
 him" And then he proceeded to re-
 late wild and rambling story. The
 writer questioned him. and was soon
 satisfied that he was stark mad. On all
 other subjects he was perfectly sane.
 On this one of his partners connection
 with the Lincoln administration he was insane.
 l Instances a this kind are not un-
 common. and yet it is form of insani-
 ty that is almost incurable, and Is liable
 to become dangerous at any time.

 The musical education of tho child, we must remember, is. in nine cases out of ten, something in addition to an already complete course of study laid by that exacting and often heartless person known as the educator. It invades the play hour, makes its by no means small exactions upon the already tired brain. and often proves more wearying to the nerves than all the rest of the child's curriculum put together. Think of the poor tortured little spine and the dan gling legs on the high piano stool, for an hour ut a stretch. What . nervous strain and worriment, to drop note here and there, as grandma drops stitch, and be obliged to So back again and again to struggle with the passage until time, lingering. reading, and all the technique of execution are pronounced satisfactory.
