Is not so with this type; the
head droops on the slender neck, the
lids are heavy, the eyes appealing and
tho lips yvietfut. The form Is likely to
be slender. never angular, and the curve
OF the back is always lovely. The
hands are delicate. The taste is 80
likely to select soft materials and deli
cate colors that such girl seldom fails,
all unconsciously, to be quite in har-
mony with herself, from the soft knot
OF her hair to the soft folds about her
feet, and the pale beauty of the colors
she selects. Such a woman must be
cared for and happy in the close gentle
ness OF affection, or she soon fades and
loses her beauty, Such a woman, too,
is most beautiful when her heart is full
OF vague maiden dreams. rather than
when fulfilment has matured her.
"Maidenhood" might we'll be drawn as
belonging TO this type. This girl at 90
seems more like Is, and is now at her
greatest beauty.
The other girl will be prettier far in
her thirties than she is now. The one
takes more chances in life than does the
other. What possibilities does modern
life present such a face? Observe the
narrow eyes and straight, delicate brows,
the short neck and we'll rounded figure:
n strange mixture OF feeling and intel
lect. The lower jaw is we'll in advance
OF the upper, the lips are full and red.
1t is not modern face by any means,
The pale hair and gray eyes belong to
each other. A picture never does such
a face justice. One is likely to say
ugly" TO the picture; 1t never occurs TO
one to say SO of the original. Women
with faces like this used to realize their
powers. In modern society they may
live and die and know only that they
are bored a good deal. One always ex-
poets the nose to be the least bit the

The smuggler Was Ingenious.

When watches were subject to duty
a passenger started from Holland to
Harwich wearing a curious undergar-
ment crowded with small pockets, in
which were slowed away no less than
LAG watches This shirt OF watches
was so arranged that it was impossi-
BILE for him to sit down; but as the
time usually spent on the voyage was
not long, say twenty-four hours at
the outside, that Inconvenience did
not seem to matter. The boat started
and the man began to wander about
the deck, no one having the slightest
suspicion of the curious armor in
which he was encased. Unfortunate
ly for him fog came on and the YES
sells progress was stopped.
The fog was obstinate. 1t would
not lift, and the "man who could not
sit down" wandered desperately
about, growing more and more tired
each turn. Thirty hours had passed
since he had left the Dutch coast,
and all the time he had remained on
his legs. The man who did not sit
down became the observed of all on
board, and as he wandered hither
and thither, looking for the fog to
rise, he became conscious that all
eyes were turned on him. He thought
he was discovered He grew alarmed,
and still the vessel remained motion
less, and like an unquiet spirit he
shambled across the deck.
Thirty-six hours from Holland, and
still he kept his legs Forty-two
hours went by, and the wandering
watch-carrier, eyed and wondered at
by all, tottered to and fro, unable to
bend, unable to rest, and ready to
drop from fatigue. No sign of the
fog going-no Sign Of relief. Twenty
two hours overdue, and still the
Wandering Jew glided about in the
gloom! At last there came a slant
of wind which cleared away the fog,
and as the vessel neared the harbor
the customs officers came on board.
Catching sight of the mans hag-
gard look and peculiar gait, they
spoke so sharply to him that his
courage gave way, and declaring his
goods in tones of terror, he went off
in faint, and retaining his rigidity,
toppled, over into the officers arms.
He was decently unclothed, and he
left his shirt to be shown at the
custom-house museum OF an appreci-
ative country. Million.

distinctly modern line of that feature
that reconciles the face to its surround
ings. Such a woman is speculative,
iDtrospective and cruel, too, IL il occurs

TO see how the victim will act. A cold,

means less harm than IL may accom-
plish. Such a woman Is round -limbed

somehow gees with her bull dog chin
and lower lip, and adds to that part OF
the strange fascination Of her face.
She dresses conventionally always.
The modern dress does not rouse her
Imagination. She could never realize
her possibilities of beauty In It, 80 IL Is
as well. She needs the vivid gowning
OF old times, and barbarous brilliancy
of jewels, and rich drapery. It is a
wonder she does not realize thisl But
maybe that Is accounted for by her pale
hair. She is a woman now at twenty
two far more than either Of the others
are, or for that matter ever will be.

becoming style unless the features are
severely regular. But the pompadour
that Is merely a drawing back very
loosely and softly OF the front hair into
a soft puffy continuation Of the half-coi;
at the crown OF the head, as shown ir
the third picture, is almost surely pret-
ty. 1t softens and yet harmonizes with
the outlines OF a strong" face, and IL
gives due value to the contour
OF a well-shaped head. Great care
must be taken not to exaggerats
the putting OF the hair above the fore
head. that the general contour OF the
head in profile may not be thrown out OF
harmonious proportion. Also the lines
the bodice makes about the neck must
be studied in reference TO their effect
upon the forehead and profile line. The
woman who wears her hair high over
her forehead must carry her head well
or the effect will be awkward and top
heavy. Likewise she should have a
certain dignity OF expression. Granted
all these requirements. and the effect is
bound to be good, and the woman who
can fill the requirements would be fool
ish, at the caprice OF fashion, to risk a
change In her hair that might mar her
good points. Such type will seem to
gain in dignity by the general adoption
around her OF parted tresses and the
accompanying droopiness of effect. And
she will be wise, therefore, to stick 10

that "it will probably prove to be a

the young fellow was there before

met at the restaurant counter.
"Got any sandwiches" called the
young man to the waiter. "Here,

nickel, and then proceeded to pick up

"If we only had a sled!" said Lucy
Cooper, one morning, seventy years
ago.
Lets make one," said her sister.

"Can't we?" said Laura.
"No, indeed!"
"Then I'll tell you what we can
do"
"What?"
"We can take an empty wood box!"
$50 we can!" ~, 81,
Into the woodshed they hurried,
and dragged large box across
the snowy yard to the orchard, where
there was steep hill covered with
ice.
Up this hill they toiled, pulling the
box behind them, or pushing it in
front. 1t was heavy. 1t had no
rope, and it was too deep for use as a
sled; but seventy years ago children
played with rag dolls, slid on boards,
and jumped rope with any old bits OF
line they could find. So Laura and
Lucy were content.
At the top of the hill they climbed
into the box Then, holding their
breaths, ,clinging to the sides of the
box, down they went, down, down,
until the forward end struck the
high board fence which separated the
orchard from the meadow.
"My!" cried Lucy.
"What bump got" cried Laura.
But'bumps and bruises were of no
consequence when there was a slid
ing-place.
And so, score of times, they went
down, down, down, laughing, scream
ing, bouncing from side TO side; a
score of times, laughing, tumbling,
slipping back, they climbed the hill.
At last, as they went humping,
humping down the hill, the box-sled
whirled around, shot in zigzag line
across the hill, and plunged into an
immense snow-drift, packed high
against the fence.
"Oh, oh, OH" cried Lucy.
sWe're stuckin said Laura, trying
to force the box backwards.
ave can never get out! can't
see a thing" walled Lucy.
"We're inside that awful big drift!
Kick, Lucy! Kick hard! Perhaps
we can kick the box out"
Kicking, stamping, pushing were Of
no avail. Stuck fast in the drift were
they, with snow In front, snow on
both sides, snow above them.
Scream, Lucy!" said Laura.
Scream loud. Perhaps the boys will
hear us! Well both scream!"
So, until they were faint and
hoarse, they shouted for help First
one name, then another, they called.
But no one heard them, no one
came to their assistance.
At last, tired, frightened, cold,
they clasped their arms around each
other, and burst into loud sobbing.
And then they heard a joyful bark!
"Towser's found US! Towser's found
us!" they cried.
unere!" cried their brother
John. Are you in there, ;'ou girls?"
"Yes, yes! Pull us out!"
John gave strong pull, and out
they came!
"Well!" began John.
"'Twas the sled!" said Lucy.
"'Twas the ice!" said Laura.
And then all three laughed!-Our

WE are sorry to learn that it will
take over two years for the building
of the two Atlantic steamships that
are to be built in Philadelphia
shipyard for the international Com
pany Not until the spring of 1895
will the first of them be launched,
and the second of them is to come
afterward. The contract does not
call for as rapid work as has been
done upon the Clyde, or as can be
done in this country. Perhaps the
Philadelphia ship builders can be in
duced to push things so as to get the
American flyers afioat within a year
from this time. II they can do this
by working day and night, while
making everything of the very best
American kind, it would be well for
them to do it. We confess that we
are in hurry about this business.
We want to see American-built
steamships running between this port
and European ports just as soon as
possible. We believe that as soon as
we get one or two of them afloat we
will begin tn build -othors and many
Others. If they are, as they ought
to be and must be, better, faster, and
more serviceable than Clyde-built
ships, we will go right straight ahead
with steel shipbuilding just as we
used to go ahead with wooden ship
building. If the Cramps can get out
those two Atlantic Ocean liners next
year, the name Of Cramp will shine

EASTERN philanthropists are still
inclined to inveigh against the un-

on the industrious and inoffensive

sympathy is again illustrated by an
act of wanton and fatal cruelty pei
petrated at FL Paso. The Chinese of
that city became weary of supporting

THE consumptive(O train robber, Smith, who was recently turned loose through the clemency of Governor Hughes, instead of "going home to die" like good man, as the governor assured the public he would, went to Sonora, where he now lives and is to all appearances as strong and healthy a man as there is in that state. For a while he was lost to the authorities but they finally located him in duaymas, where he was living with Mexican family in a secluded portion of the town. When next seen he was at a side station on the Sonora railroad, in the act of taking notes on a locomotive. Possibly he was examining and admir- ing the beauty and complexity of it's construction, but railroad men have a different opinion of his inquisitiveness and are reported to be watching him closely. In Sonora he goes by the name of Shaw.-Citizen,
