Trained Lenders in PRAYER.

1t is regarded as novelty nowadays
if a woman is trained to lead prayers
and conduct services in the churches,
yet very often in the middle ages a
Jewess was trained as precentor or
synagogue reader. A notable instance
is preserved in the cemetery at Worms,
where n tombstone dating from 1875 is
sacred to the memory of Urania, who
is mentioned as leading the women IN
prayer 1t seems that the woman's
synagogue in those days was separated
by thick wall from the mems, and, as
1t was impossible for the women under
these circumstances TO hear the regular
cantor. Urania was one of few who
were trained tor the office Chicago

Entertaining without Guests.

Some time ago woman who had en-
livened her circle of acquaintances in
the cast with noticeable gifts of con.
versation and appreciation, real lover
of good folks, good manners and good
talk, went to the Pacific coast with her
husband, who was "a missionary there.
Their one boy was not allowed to play
freely with the children of the rough
people among whom they worked, and
often the mother and boy were left
weeks alone, while the father was off
on preaching tours. A favorite way of
breaking the monotony on the mothers
part was to celebrate anniversaries by
inviting guests who couldn't come,
and holding imaginary conversations at
the table, describing the looks and
characteristics OF the mythical assem-
bly,, all of which nightly pleased tho
small boy, and one night, after his
usual prayer, he added: "Oh, Lord.
bless all my friends all round this
world and tell 'em if they'll be good
somebody'll come and see EMIL come
and see em myself Amen" A bit OF
unconscious pathos that ought to touch
everyone with social heart N. Y.

A Remarkable French Woman.

The marquise de Blocqueville, who
died few days ago in Paris was for
merly one of the most beautiful women
of her time, and, like most French
beauties, had considerable political in
fluence The narquise was the young
est daughter of Marshal Devoust, Prince
d d'Eckmuehl, duke of Auerstaedt. Two
of her sisters, also famous for their
good looks. married respectively tho
duke of Cambaceres and Count Vigier.
The marquise was Freat favorite at
the court of Louis Philippe and was the
intimate friend of Queen Amelia and the
duchess of Orleans. In early woman
hood her features were of the perfect
Greek type her eyes and hair a brilliant
black. Enthusiastic writers of Louis
Philippes day described her figure as
divine, and her gait and carriage as
those of u goddess. She was q hand
some woman at the time of her death.

In the middle ages animals formed as
prominent part in the worship of the
time as they had done in the old relig-
ion of Egypt. The cat was very i'm
portant parsonage in religious festi-
walls. At AK, in Provence, on the fes-
tival of Corpus Christi, the finest tom
cat of the country, wrapped in swad-
ding clothes like a child, was exhib-
tied in magnificent shrine to public
admiration. Every knee was bent, every
hand strewed flowers or poured in
cense, and Grimalkin was treated in all
respects as the god of the day. But on
the festival of st. John poor TOMS
fate was reversed. A number of the
tabby tribe were put into wicker
basket and thrown alive into the midst
OF an immense fire kindled IN the pub
lie square by the bishop and his clergy
Hymns and anthems were sung, and
professions were made by the priests
and people in honor of the sacrifice

BRAINS VERSUS BEAUTY.
Women Noted for Intellectual Power Who
Arc HopclesslY plnIn.

Arc Hcpclessly Plaln.
One of the puzzlng things dllicultot
solution in life is the persistency of di-
vorce between brains and beauty.
While it by no means follows that IA
homely woman is always brainy or u
pretty one invariably devoid of intelli-
gence, still il is true that Of all women
noted for powerful intellect few have
been otherwise than hopelessly plain.
Nine. De Stael, the intellectual prodigy
of her day, before whose wit even tho
great Napoleon quailed, and of whom
he said, "She has shafts that would
hit man if he We're seated on rein-
bow" was totally without feminine
grace save only the charm of low me-
lodious voice, One famous word por-
trait describes her as a ''priestess OF
Apollo, with dark eyes illumined by
genius and marked features expressive
of destiny superior to that of most wo-
men," which is, of course, only an orna-
mental way of saying that she was not
fair.
George Eliots biographers seldom at
tempt personal description, and shirk
the issue by saying that she had large,
massive, homcly feetures," which were
at rare intervals sof,ened by smile OF
great beauty Her head was colossal
and masculine, her hair coarse, brown
and bushy, her brow high and full, but
her body was frail and delicate And
this powerful woman, whose writings
have influenced SIl modern thought,
was given over t0 the woman's weak
ness of shedding tears necessarily. 1t
is hard to reconcile the fact with her
other characteristics, and it, like her
second marriage, are things her admir-
crs like to forget.
Lady Mary Montague she of the ex-
quisite letters, was most untidy aud
slovenly woman, with a face hideously
Scared by smallpox, and distressingly
homcly. She said herself that the only
reason she was glad she was woman
was because she would never have to
marry one.
Margaret Fuller was quite the reverse
of pretty, save for her graceful carriage,
though her admirers were given to
rapsodizing about her neck with its
