BEAUTY IN WOMAN.

Rarely Ever Acc',.' panied by Superior
Attannents.
OF the beautiful women that have
known. but few have attained superb
ority Of any kind. In marriage they
have frequently made failures; why, 1
do not know, unless the possession of
great loveliness is incompatible with
the possession of an equal amount of
good Judgment. So much is expected
by the woman accustomed to admira-
tion that she plays and palters with her
fate till the crooked stick is all that is
left her. This we see exemplified
again and again. While the earnest,
lofty, sweet-smiling woman of the pale
hair and doubtful line of nose has, per-
haps, one true lover, whose worth
she has time to recognize, an &C
knowledged beauty will find herself
surrounded by a crowd of snowy ego
lists, whose admiration so dazes and be-
wilders her that she is sometimes tempt
ed to bestow herself upon the most i'm
Fortunate one, in order to end the I'M
seemly struggle.
Then the incentive to education and
to the cultivation of ones especial
powers is lacking. Forgetting that the
triumphs which have made holiday of
youth must lessen with the years. many
q fair one ueglects that training of the
mind which gives to her who is poor in
all else an endless storehouse of wealth
from which she can hope to produce
treasures for her own delectation and
that of those about her, long after
the fitful bloom upon her handsome
sisters cheek has faded with the roses
Of departed summer.-Anna Katherine

mnatlon OF my lungs wItnOub using 1no
abdominal muscles. It is generally
supposed that when the muscles are
soft there is little strength in them.
Now If /, little man with soft mus
cles, should break this chain, it would
go to show to the contrary" Here the
speaker stretched both arms back of
his neck with his hands grasping .
chain and. exerting himself, broke the
stout links. exhibiting his magnificent
muscular development at the same time.
He then told how the muscles of the alb
domen may be developed. Talking an
hour q day. if one breathes properly
while doing it, will give enough abdom-
inal development The power of muscles
when exercised and controlled intelli-
gently was given practical demonstra-
ton by the speaker, who lay nat on his
back and raised several men on his
hands. He called attention to common
faults in the methods of standing and
sitting. The body should be held erect
in sitting down, and only one joint, that
of the knee, used. 1t would be q good
thing, the lecturer declared, If the old
fashioned bow from the hip were to DO
revived, as that would encourage the
use Of the hip as joint. The proper
way to go up stairs was illustrated In
stead of putting one foot up and then
pushing the body with the other, one
should lean over and get the second
foot on the same step with the first, and
then push with two feet instead of one
to raise the weight of the body.-Brook-

SWISS SCHOOLGIRLS.

They Lack the Intellectual Interest of
Their American Sisters.
French and music being the chief
ends of each girls sojourn, there was
no grind of college preparation. No
body was studying for an examination.
This prevented a certain strenuousness
of tone and tensity of excitement
which are apt to exist with US in the
more earnest schools. On the other
hand, there was in the girls themselves
none of that intellectual interest which
we find among bright American girls
who are pursuing classical studies to-
,yether. They had among themselves
no such eagerness of converse
ton; they did not appear to dis
cuss the problems of life or to feel per-
sonallv answerable for their solution;
and as compared with set either
of clever or of fashionable girls
they seemed very young for
their years, though in some in
stances very bright, and in an in
teresting way. If the school had not
the stamp of a college preparatory,
neither had it the character of our fash
ionable institutions for young ladies'
Careful attention was paid to instruc-
ton in manners and little niceties of
social usage. The necessity for wo-
man of being womanly was frankly
dwelt upon, and taken for granted as
basis of action; but trivial or petty
view of thing was strongly discouraged,
and the whole tone of the household
was that of rare simplicity and I'M

SCALING HERRlNGS.
The Work Ii Performed In q 6omowh
Peculiar Manner.

The Work il Performed In q Somewhat
Peculiar Manner.
A peculiar feature of the smoked her
ring industry in this country Is the
method by which the fish are scaled.
Enormous quantities of them are
captured in weirs and gill-nets and the
catch thrown into boats When a load
has been secured the fisherman threads
them out" by walking briskly back and
forth through the mass of squirming
objects at the bottom of the boat. The
motion of the fish upon each other, and
also the contact with the feet and legs
Of the ''treader," quicl1lyeremoves the
scales. In the course of half an hour a
skillful operator will thus scale four or
Ave hogsheads of the fish.
Another method consists in using a
piece of board about foot long and
four or five inches in width, which is
securely fastened to long handle.
This is thrust into the center of the
mass and moved brisl1ly about until by
continued stirring the scales are moved
in an incredibly short time. The work
must be done while the fish are fresh,
az otherwise the scales become set and
can only be taken off with great diff
Guilty.
Care is exercised in both processes, as
If not Systematically done, many of the
catch will be only partially scaled, and
If stirred about or ''trod out" for too
long time the flesh will be soft or
bruised, in which case the catch will be
less salable. and, if the skin is broken,
absolutely worthless.
After scaling, they are washed and
sailed in tubs, barrels or hogsheads;
then strung on sticks, from twenty five
to thirty-f1ve being placed on each, ac-
cording to their size. The next step
consists in rewashing, to remove all the
blood and dirt that has accumulated,
and the strings are then laid on frames
in the open air to drain and also to
harden and dry the giIl-covers. This
being accomplished they are taken to
the smoke house, properly arranged,
the fires star ted and the smoking be-
gins
Several kinds Of wood are used for
this purpose in different countries,
white birch being preferred in France,
while in England, Scotland and
Holland oak chips and sawdust
are considered the best. In this
country pine-logs that have been soaked
in salt water are selected, as the salt
renders the wood less inhammable and
1t also gives off a greater volume of
smoke.
Some of the eursrs, when the smok-
ing process Is nearly completed. build a
Ere with oak logs FOR the purpose of
giving higher or brighter color to the
fish. As a matter of fact, however, the
woods make little or no difference, the
chief idea being to get kind that will
burn slowly and at the same time yield
a sufficient amount of smoke to cure
the fish, and at the same time burn SO
slowly that there is no possibility of
scorching them.-Detroit Free Press.

MUSEUM HORRORS.
Dried Heads, Human Scalps, Necklaces o
Fingers and Other Edifying Sights.

Dried Heads, Human Scalps, Necklaces of
Fingers and Other Edifying Sights.
The National museum does not go
In for horrors, but some gruesome
things are to be found there neverthe-
less.
For example, there are two human
heads from the upper Amazon, dried in
a weird and extraordinary fashion.
The natives on the high slopes of the
Andes delight in chopping off the heads
Of their enemies and preserving them
for ornamental and other purposes.
Their method is to make a cut with a
knife around the lower part of the neck
and draw the skin over the head, TAX
ing care to preserve intact the nose,
mouth and other features.
Next the skin Is turned right side on {
and the lips are sewn together with
coarse Irvine, such as grocers use, leav-
Ing a fringe of string hanging down for
length of two feet from the chin of
the departed foe. Finally the head,
thus bersft of it's knlI, is filled with hot
gravel, which causes it to shrink. The
hot gravel is renewed as often as NAV
be necessary until the head has shrunk
to quarter the size of that of a new
bord child
The appearance of a head thus treat
ed is grotesque beyond describing. It's
face Is that of human being reduced
TO scale of tour-months' embryo.
The features are perfect and the nos
trils and lips are a. in life, though the
color is inlky black. Perhaps the lips
are knit together SO that they may not
reply when spoken to, for the custom
Is to hang these cheerful tropics bv
their long black hair from the rafters
of the family domicile and address to
them vituperative jibes on occasions of
festivity.
The museum has a very large collec-
ton of scalps and it is wonderful to
think what tragic tales they would
have to tell if they could only speak
One Of them is a crown of real golden
hair with circle of skin attached, reft
from the head of little German girl
at the Mountain Meadow massacre. In
spots it is stained with the victims
blood-a pitiful reminder. OF the same
party of honest pioneers may have been
the man from whose caput q shock of
black curly black locks was torn; it
forms part of the exhibit.
There are many other scalps of white
people and Indians-the former mostly
curly and readily distinguishable from
the straight black hair of the aborig-
ines. The long trssses of women,

is far from being the ease. General
