ESEor centuries we have been taught
to look upon the Grecian type of beauty
as the ideal of all loneliness. To tell a
woman that her nose or left ear or
right eyebrow was pure Greek was the
highest compliment one could pay her
Now comes an iconoclastic traveller to
declare that the Grecian woman is
short, broad and stout, with pale,
creamy skin, dark hair and beautiful
eyes, features fairly regular, but not
classical. The prevailing impression
that she leaves upon the Englishman is
that she has squat figure; for the
women OF Greece destroy their figures
on account Of the sedentary lives they
live. IL is the custom of the country
for women to remain in the privacy of
their homes, casual traveller catching
only an occasional glimpse of them
at the upper windows OF some priv
ate dwelling or shop. In rural Greece
the women take more active part
in everyday life and work in the
fields, with their wells hanging loosely
over their heads ready TO be folded
across the mouth should strange man
approach.

Jersey II is an important invention
because it will not only minimize the
destruction Of food, but will have a
large bearing upon the ice business. and
at less cost and trouble will preserve
meats, foods and all articles subject to
decay more satisfactorily than ice.
The little machine that will accom-
plish all this has been in process of
construction for six years past, and the
principle which underlies its discovery

nearly aquarter of a century.

The Hateful Opal.

Miss Gizelle Sikay, III years of age,
daughter of John Silsay, OF bridgeport,
Conn, died ON Sunday. Tomorrow
she was to have been married to Henry
Callopee. Miss SilSay had just been
trying ON her wedding dress, and, dis
playing an opal pin intended for the
veil, remarked to her bridesmaids.
"Some girls think opali bring ill
luch; am sure this will bring Henry
and me nothing but happiness.
She deposited the pin in its case and
turned to renrrange the display of her
wedding gifts. when the muscles of
her face contracted and she was seized
with CONFUSION, during which she
sank to the floor unconscious. Her
heart ceased 10 beat in forty minutes.
