A DES0LATE SPOT.
One of the Most Lonesome Places in the
Whole World.

ST Louis Glooe-D Democrat
'sI think the most desolate place on the
face of the earth is the Falkland Islands.
lying some $50 miles east Of the coast of
Patagonia" said Abram Howard, q guest Of
the Southern. These Islands belong to Eng
land, as matter of course. What England
wants with them nobody knows. They are
about 200 in number, but only two are OF
considerable Size. East Falkland contains
about 400 square miles and West Falkland is
half that area. 1t may be said to rain every
day in the year on this desolate group. The
sun is scarcely ever visible. Grain will not
ripeu and vegetables will not produce seed.
Tie principal industry Is the repairing of
vessels that have been damaged in passing
around Cape Horn, and cattle and sheep
raising. Two vegetable productions of the
Falkland Islands have long been puzzle to
naturaists. These are the 'balsam bog
and the 'russock grass The latter is a
reedlike grass, which grows In tufts from
six to ten feet high. The leaves and stems
make excellent fodder, and the roots have a
rich flavor which makes them irresistible TO
herbivorous animals. The 'balsam bog
looks at little distance like great powders,
sometimes eight to ten feet across. These
Jumps, which are single plants. are quite
hard, and some of them are doubtless CEN
turtles old. Many OF these blockke PLANTS
are covered with lchens and bands of
grass grow in soil collected In the creyices.
The wood has a pleasant aromatic odor that
has never been put to any use that am

Like Mr.. Arthur Acland and Mr.. Arnold
Morley Lord Houghton is the son of all old
friend OF Mr. Gladst0ne's, and no doubt this
circumstance had something 10 say TO his
promotion. BY his friends, Lord Houghton
IS said to possess important qualifications
Tor his post, but the world in general must,
for time at least, take these in trust, and will
probably persist meanwhile 10 the opinion
that he was made Lord Lieutenant largely
IN order that Mr.. John Morley might have
a perfectly free hand. The new Viceroy is,
of course, the son Of the poet-poltcan

he took his degree in 1879. He has a coun-

PLAIN WOMEN.
Do They Ever Realize That They Ar,
Not Good Looking?

Do They Ever Realize That They Are
Not Good Looking?
There are many plain women in this
world, yet do they realize that they are so ?
They know, of course, that they are not
beautiful; yet does there not dwell in some
corner OF the mind a secret admiration for
the face they so frequently study and be-
lief in good points that no one else is able
TO discover? Ii this were not so would not
the army of non- beautiful women be NOR
bidly sensitive about their own looksp
Have we not all heard such a one remark
with emphasis, II know l am homely," yet
at the same time she looks wistfully at her
nearer for denial of the statement Per-
haps, however, 1t is like the question OF
elegant and refined seems to another utterly
comm onpace. Be that as it may there are
many plain women who prove attractive
through other qualities than beauty of per-
son. Therefore, knowing that to be fact,
perhaps the mind dominates the plain fea-
lures until they become glorified into q
semblance OF loveliness that lies not in a
straight ose, glorious eyes. rosebud mouth
or peaches and cream complexion.
But clinging to the premise that women
none OF them, know exactly how they look
does 1t not follow that the reason for this is
constant and unremitting familiarity with
ones own reflection? We see each varying
expression, each light and SHADOW daily mir
rored before our eyes and that is perhaps the
reason that the plain mortal is not driven to
suicide when a radiantIy lovely woman
throws her completely in the shade.

THE Latest COLLECTING Fad.

Men had just begun to think that girls
had given up collecting things-neckties,
scarfpins. canes. cigars. etc. But the fever
has broken out afresh, aud 1t Is for caps,
yachting headgear, tennis tiles and polos
The gin with the largest number of caps is
the girl this year. Caps worn by owners Of
private yachts. caps with a private device.
athletic association caps with "honor"
stripes on them-these are the most sought
after. Nothing so becomes girl as does
mans cap. Not one that she selects, buys
and has charged to pa. but the one that her
escort takes from his own head and
balances on her curls. That is the hat in
which she looks perfectly fetching Prob
ably this fact is at the bottom of the
new fad.
The Queen Of Italy does not collect hats.
Her hobby is the collection of gloves boots
and shoes which have been worn by royal
and imperial persoDages at different times.
Among her most cherished objects of this
kind may be mentioned a pair of white
slippers and fan that formerly belonged
to Mary. Queen of Scots; also shoes worn
by Queen Anne and Empress Josephine.
