WHAT Is BEAUTY
1t Seems to Depend on the Country
in Which the Question Is Asked
From the Ynnkes RLode

IL Seems TO Depend on the Country
in Which the Question Is Asked
From the Yankee Blade.
It is remarkablelbo learn the extraordinary
ideas Of female beauty which character
lie different nations. The ladies of Arabia
stain their fingers and toes red, their eye
brows black, and their lips blue. In Persia
they paint black streak around their eyes,
and ornament their faces with representa-
lions of various figures.
The Japanese women adopt the singular
method of gliding their teeth, and those of
the Indians paint them red. In some parts
Of India the pearl of the tooth must be died
black before a woman can be beautiful
The Hottentot women paint the entire body
in compartments of red and black. In
Greenland the women color their faces
with blue and yellow, and frequently tattoo
their bodies by saturating threads In SCOT,
inserting them beneath the skin, and then
drawing them through.
Hindoo families, when they wish to be
particularly lovely, smear themselves with
mixture OF saffron and grease. and in
nearly all the islands of the Pacific and Iu-
dian oceans the women, as well as the men,
tattoo great variety of figures on the face,
the lips, and the tongue.
In New Holland the women cut them
selves with shells, and keeping the wounds
open long time, form deep scars in the
flesh. which they deem highly ornamental.
Another singular mutiation is made among
them. for, when in infancy, they take off
the little finger OF the left hand at the sec
ond joint. In ancient Persia an aquiliue
nose was often thought worthy of the
crown, but the Sumatran mother carefully
hattens the nose Of her daughter. Among
some Of the savage tribes of Oregon, and
also in Aracan, continual pressure is APP
piled to the skull, in order to flatten it and
thus give 1t a new beauty.
The modern Persians have strong aver
sion to red hair; the Turks, on the contrary
are warm admirers of it. In China, small,
round eyes are liked, and the girls are con-
tinually plucking their eyebrows that they
may be thin and long. But the great
beauty of Chinese lady is in her feet,
which, in childhood, are so compressed by
bandages as effectually to prevent any fur
ther increase in size. The four smaller toes
are bent under the foot, to the sole of which
they firmly adhere, and the poor girl not
only endures muoh pain, but becomes a
cripple for life.
Another mark Of beauty consists in hav-
ing finger nails so long that castings of bam-
boo are necessary to preserve them from
injury. An African beauty must have
small eyes.

A LEGAL PROPOSITION.
A Young Lawyer Is Catechised Con-
corning a Catastrophe.


corning a Catastrophe.
From the Ne,o Orleans Times Democrat.
"Here is point of law. You might im-
prove yourself by studying il, for I'll bet
10 to you cannot solve it," said we'll
known old lawyer to briehess, but smbi-
tious, young bsrrister on the court house
steps the other day. THE case happened
years ago, when was a struggling lawyer
in an interior town in this state, and when
was 50 eager for a case | would have taken
any sort Of one. The case occurred this
way:
There was a firm OF four men who con-
Quoted a general merchandise store in
which you could find anything from gro
cerieS to dry goods and from soothing syrup
to coRin. Well one year the rats and
mice got pretty bad around the store. The
partners decided to put stop TO the deprs-
datious OF the rodents aud purchased fine
Maltese cat and named him Thomas They
were peculiar in their business ideas and de-
clded their ownership in the cat as follows:
One whom we will call was to own the
left hind leg, the right hind leg, c the
left fore leg and D the right fore leg.
Everything went on smoothly for awhile.
One day Thomas got his right fore leg
mashed seriously. 1t was bound up in a
rag soaked in sweet oil, and Thomas had to
90 around on three legs. While in this
shape Thomas ventured too near the stove,
which was very hot and the oily rag got
atre. The cat ran to his bed in pile of
waste In the rear Of the store aud the build
ing was soon In flames. The next day the
partners had row about the damages. A,
B and G claiming that d should pay them
what they had lost by the fire.
They came to me to settle Ii for them.
The first three claimed that If the leg on the
cat belonging TO d had not 60: hurt and
had the oily rag put on it, it would not
have caught fire, and there would not have
been no fire and they would not have
lost anything. D claimed that as be had
nothing to do with hurting the cat, or with
the cat catching fire be could not be held
responsible.
Il finally held D responsible, but he would
not submit to the arbitrament and went
across the street and employed young fell
low who was as ambitious as myself. In a
few days cross-suit was filed, A, B and C
claiming that D was responsible in such
sum for the loss by the FIRE. d defended,
and put in a cross-chargs that the first three
were responsible, because IL the cat had not
been able TO run on three legs he would not
have set fire to the store, and he claimed
therefore that they we're responsible. l do
not know why, but the court took the latter
view. Now, what do you think OF it?'

backward from the sidewalk to the asphalt

heavily-lsden truck. He drove his bicycle
between the curb and the truck with a rush
and lifted the child by her dress just as the
truck wheel was about to strike her.
The crowd of people that witnessed It
cheered. The little girl lifted on the ma
chine seemed to be wondering why she had
been so suddenly taken from her feet.
Had it not been for the presence OF mind
OF the deputy sheriff the child would prob
ably have been crushed to death under the
wheels
