Marks of the Glacial Period in the Gorg
of the Ohio.

Marks Of the Glacial Period in the Gorge
of the Ohio.
1Above Louisville, KY, the large cit
les upon the Ohio strikingly reveal the
limitations imposed upon them by the
character of the river valley. Having
begun as cluster of houses upon the
rivers bank, they have gradually
spread back upon it until reaching the
base of the rocky precipices. With the
rapid growth, both of population and
of improvements in later years, Cincin-
natl and Pittsburgh have literally over
flowed their banks and risen to the
summit of the hills on either side, the
inhabitants being transported from
their places of business to their resi-
dences by long inclines up which the
street cars are drawn at a steep angle
to a height of from 500 to 500 feet; from
which positions extended views are
given in every direction over the
broken surface, whose SUBMITS repre-
sent the once comparatively level area.

Although flowing in so deepa trough,
the present Ohio river is considerably
elevated above the ancient bottom.
This is owing to the fact that during
the glacial period such an excessive
amount of gravel was brought down
from the Allegheny river and other
northern tributaries that the old chan
mel was silted up to a considerable
depth. At Cincinnati there is more
than one hundred feet of gravel be-
tween the present river bottom and
the rock bottom. Below the mouths
of the most important northern tribu-
.taries the accumulations were much
greater than this. At Cincinnati the
channel was choked with gravel from
the Little. Mama to height of one
hundred and twenty feet above the
present river. Subsequently this was
partly eroded away, leaving the one

THE GIRLS OF ARGENTINA.
Types Of voluptuoas Beauty. but Fat and
Gross at Thirty.

Types of voluptuoas Beauty. but Fat and
Gross at Thirty.
The very best word-picture of an Ar
gentine girl that have ever seen, true
to life, though rather fowery, says
Buenos Ayres correspondent is as fol-
lows:
Imagine brunette of fifteen or six
teen, developed to precocious MATURE
ty. An erect figure of medium height,
but spendidly proportioned, with bust
that would make Lord Lytton's fiat
chested heroines green with envy:
proud and graceful carriage, a face of
perfect oval; spotless complexion, with
slight tinge of Creole blood that i'm
parts to the cheeks the hue of the
damask rose. The eyes are large, dark
and lustrous. fringed by long, silken
lashes, and over-arched by eyebrows
which, with the night of her hair
makes the white forehead look like
alabaster; small and delicately CHS
eled nostrils that dilate nervously at
every inspiration: teeth SO white and
regular that to catch glimpse of them
through the arch of smile is Won
der at natures perfection-the only
fault of the beautiful face and sensuous
lines that surround the full red lips,
symbols of a passionate nature.
Imagine the face in its frame of soft
black hair, surmounted by a white hat
of the most coquettish fashion, on
which real flowers repose and living
freflies CLEAN: and that lithesome fig
ure retired in crush of some soft tex
ture and delicate tint, and a fashion
known only to the Worths of Paris and
Madrid, with the sparkle of a diamond
here and there or glimmer of dull gold;
and imagine the whole being instinct
with the grace and vivacity of early
youth, and you have the complete por-
trait of an Argentine girl"
But with all these charms that dazzle
the eye and captivate admiration, there
seems to be something lacking on closer
acquaintance-perh because the vo-
luptuous style does not appear to the
soul like the more spiritual beauty of the
Saxon maiden-that where the senses
only are fed they become satiated after
time, like one on a steady diet of
sweets. Unfortunately, these charm
ing creatures are universally addicted
to the rouge-pot and powder-puff to
such an extent that the real woman
appears to be in total eclipse under
drifts of white and daubs of red. And,
as with the gentler sex in all southern
countries, their beauty wanes at an
early age. While women of colder
climates and colder temperaments are
at their prime at thirty-five or forty,
the Portena's golden age is between
the years of fifteen and seventeen. At
twenty-five, or sooner if married, she
is quite passe and metaphorically laid
on the shelf. A tendency to corpulence
is encouraged by indolent habits and
excessive indulgence in the flesh-pots;
and at middle age many of them de-
velop hirsute appendages that are the
envy of the beardless youths.-Phila-
delphia Record.

a Good Friday Custom,

Among the many quaint rites and
old-fashioned ceremonies once proper
to Passion week, most have now van
ished away, but some yet remain. A
Good Friday custom, said by authorities
to be the oldest extant, is yet left us,
and the picturesque function was duly
celebrated recently in the ancient
parish of st. Bartholomew the Great.
Upon a tombstone in the churchyard
were set out twenty new siXpenny
pieces, and by the side of each a bag of
hot cross buns and an Easter card.
Then, unto the buns and silver, there
marched in procession twenty vener-
able, cody, widowed women of the
parish, each to become richer by a
share of the matters spread upon the
tombstone. 1t is to be noted in con-
nection with this old usage that no be-
quest originally instituted it. Indeed,
its origin is now buried in the mists of
a far past. Nevertheless, to n bequest
it owes its present vitality, for not very
long ago Mr.. j. w. Butterworth, +. S.
A., the celebrated antiquary and stu
dent of folklore, invested a sum suf-
ficient to perpetuate the Good Friday
dole at st. Bartholomew the Great for
all time, and twenty deserving widows
of that parish are, therefore, certain to
enjoy sixpences and buns at least once
a year as long as the world wags.-

CHICAGO'S THREE WINDS.
The Coming of Spring to the Metropolis o
the West.

the West.
Chicago has three winds that blow
upon it. One comes from the east, and
the mind goes out to the cold gray-blue
lake. One from the north, and men
think of illimitable spaces of pine lands
and maple-clad ridges which lead to the
unknown deeps of the arctic woods.
But the third is the west or southwest
wind, dry, magnetic, full of smell of
unmeasured miles of growing grain in
summer, or ripening corn and wheat in
autumn. When it comes in winter the
air glitters with incredible brilliancy.
The snow dazzles and flames in the
eyes; deep blue shadows everywhere
stream like stains of ink. sSleigh-bells
wrangle from early morning till late al
night, and every step is quick and
alert.
But its greatest moment of domino
ton is spring. The bitter gray wind
of the east has held unchecked rule for
days, giving place to its brother the
north wind only at intervals. till some
day in March the wind of the south
west begins to blow. Then the caves
begin to drip. Here and there fowl
Tin house that is really PRISON. be-
gins to sing the song it sang on the
farm, and toward noon it's song be-
comes chant of articulate joy.
Then the poor crawl out of their
reeking novels on the south and west
sides to stand in the sun-the blessed
sun-and felicitate themselves on being
alive. Windows of sick-rooms are
opened, the merry small boy goes to
school without his tippet, and men lay
off their long ulsters for their beaver
coats. Caps give place to hats, and
men and women pause to chat when
they meet each other on the street.
The open doors is the sign of the great
change of wind.-Hamlin Garland, in
Harper's Magazine.
