A FRENCH BEAUTY.

to which it belongs will, if transferred
to the physiognomy of another, almost
stretch from ear to ear. All these things
are matters of proportion, and those are
probably not far wrong who assert that
a mouth one and a half times the width
of the eye is in proportion and correct.
The upper lip should be bow shaped,
while the lower should form the arc of
a circle, and to be ideally beautiful the
lower lip should show more red than the
upper. The lips should be only mod
erately full.
The forehead is the characteristic
feature of the human race, for no AMI
NAL, save the elephant, has what may
properly be called a forehead. The
forehead of the ideal beauty is low and
broad, rather than high and command
ing. A high forehead generally indi-
Gates the possession of brains, and the
ideal beauty is not supposed to have
any. A low forehead is almost as bad
as one too high, since it betokens ami.
mality of nature.
The eyes are a leading attribute OF
ideal beauty. OF course they should be
straight, that is to say, at right angles
with the nose, for eyes turned up at the
outer angle are Mongolian, and turned
down give an unmlstakable expression
of slyness or roggery. Eyes half open,
exhibiting narrow opening between
the lids, are indicative of deceitfulness,
while wide open eyes are characteristic
of impudence, of aggressiveness without
perseverance, of brazen insolehce. The
color is matter of little consequence,
but in passing it should be understood
that there is a common mistake with re-
gard to the color of the human eye. No
iris is one of solid color; all are streaked,
mottled, speckled or spotted, and the
predominance of one color gives an i'm.
preston that the whole eye is thus
tinted. The eyelashes should be long
and dark in order properly to shade the

like charm.
"a monkey is a greater imitator than
Chinaman. He will do anything he
GEES done, and that is what gets so MANY
of his kind into the cage. Irlgged I ur
an electric battery and attached to it an
apparatus that would allow score of the
simiaus to get hold of it. I then took a
party Of natives and went into the forest
where there were troops of monkeys. We
put the apparatus down, attached the
wire, and removed the battery to con-
siderable distance. The natives then
took hold of the apparatus, danced and
yelled, then retired. The monkeys
made dash for it. Half dozen caught
hold, and turned on the current. They
began to Shrek and squirm, but the
Others thought their performance part
of the programme, and fairly fell over
each other to get hold of the machine.
I could have stuck the whole troop in

made descent on them with sacks, and
soon had score of them corralled.

Strange Us, For a Skeleton.

In America skeletons are neither legal
teuder nor muniments of title, but it is
different at the antipodes-in that as in
many other things. In New Zealand,
for instance, q European cannot acquire
title to q new piece of land till the lndi-
vidual Maori title is exiting uished, and
that has to be done before native land
court. In this court the '.Tohungas, "
or Judges of local law, declare that there
is no valid title unless the last preceding
owners thoracic skeleton is produced.

America. In his letter MIR. Cox says:
ssLast year you mentioned the big apple
from Arkansas which measured III
inches in circumference. I ship by to-
days expres prepaid, The Republic
Apple, a sample of New Mexican fruit
for exhibition. 1t is eighteen inches in
circumference and weighs two pounds
d ounces. It is from the fruit ranch
OF Colonel W. L. Thompson, of this

This description has been verified in
the Republic editorial rooms. Placed
upon exact postoffice scales this apple
weighs two pounds II ounces, having
lost perhaps by drying about an ounce

eye; the eyebrows should be arched and
moderately heavy; deficiency in either
lash or brow is a marked deformity.
The eyelashes should surround the eye
in such way rs to close it, and thus
materially aid in giving it expression.
It. is often supposed that the eye alone is
expressive and receives no assistance
from its surroundings. But this is a
great mistake.
The ideally beautiful face is sur
rounded by suit of abundant hair.
The question as to whether this is blonde
OF brunette is not important, for there
are great painters on either side, and If
we count the light browns among the
blondes and the dark browns among the
brunettes the numbers of the two classes
are about equal.
The neck is very important item of
beauty. 1t should be of medium length.
That is, the distance from the collarbonc
to the chin when the head is in a natu-
raj position should be about one-half the
length of the face, or from the upper
tip of the ear to the collar bone should
be the length of the couutenance. A
long neck is ungraceful, suggesting
emaciation; a short neck is equally so,
being characteristic OF embonpoint, not
to say dumpiness. But in each and
every case the heigth OF the figure must
furnish the unit of measurement, and all
parts must bear correspondence to this.
The face of the ideal beauty is gener-
ally of clear white with tinge of pink
in the cheeks, and lips of a bright red.
The color of the face should be an ivory
not chalk white; the latter is unnatu-
raj and ghastly, nor is the flush OF fever
agreeable 10 the eye. A color toe

became strained there was considerable
tension between them, but when it
gradually dawned upon their infantile
intelligences that when one was hurt the
other had to cry out of sheer sympathy,
a mutual understanding was arrived at
that "rows" should be discontinued, and
now balmy peace reigns supreme.
For their age, the twins are particu-
larly intelligent. They have been
taught English for the last three months,
and, although they do not speak more
than few simple words, they seem to
understand it fairly we'll already. The
twins have excited good deal of inter-
est among the medical profession in
India, and there is little doubt that
their appearance in London and America
will be welcomed by scientists no less
than by the unscientifc sightseer.

Undoubtedly an important factor IN

the aesthetics is that feminine face, To

a chin too long or too short, cheek bones
too strong, any one of a dozen other
shortcomings, may mar the symmetry OF
