The Difference.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
If men fail to understand women better 1t
Is largely due to their inability to see life
from any other than their own standpoint.
Some men cannot recognize the vast Diff
ference between those things which enter
into their lives and the elements which
make up the life of a woman. 1t seems to
me sometimes as II men will not see. Be-
cause their lives are full of diversions, far
broader in their scope, they cannot under
stand why a woman allows so many little
things to influence her. Forgetful are they
Of the fact that the sphere Of woman is one
Of infinite detail. A home is not like bust
ness office. But a man says: You have
your servants; have my clerks. Where's
the difference?" The difference lies In the
fact that a woman must enter into the de-
tails OF home. IL she manages it conscien-
tiously. far more than a man needs to enter
into the minor affairs Of q business. The
domestic servant depends more upon her
mistress for direction than does the clerk
upon his employer. Infinitely more impor-
tant Is II that a wife should go into her
kitchen and look into its workings than 1t Is
that the employer should go into his ship
ping department and see that the packages
are properly tied and the addresses legiSly
marked. He can detail this responsibility
to the head of his shipping department. Not
SO the housekeeper. She is, and must be-
nursery. of each department of her home
just as she must be the general head OF the
whole house. She Is general and captain
rolled into one. And Of this supervision of
detail Is her life made UP, and her thoughts
influenced. Woman is creature of detail,
good master Of her sphere. And as Is
her life, SO becomes her nature.

Negro. Japanese. Arab,
Above the window on the south side of
the central front pavilion the classic head
of the Greek Is easily recognized. He has
the aquiline nose and oval face Of his race.
Following the building southwark the
next group Of heads we come to on the west
side Of the corner projection are those of
the Persian. Circassian and Brahmin. The
Persian's face is. perhaps. the handsomest
of the whole series.
The Circassian's Is the most interesting
OF the faces surrounding the building 1t
represents exactly our conception of the
appearance of this now almost extinct
race Next IS the fine. strong face Of the
Brahmin. The features are regular, the
face oval. the eyes and hair black and the
skin dark. though not black. He wears

gence. thought and conscious dignity be-
longing to the highest caste Hindoo.

here shows an exceedingly depressed nose,
though this is not one Of the race character
however, generally very wide.
The group of five in the center of the
east side represent rather a striking con-
trast to the heads occupying the central po-
the Negrito. Zulu. Papuan, Negro and
Aka.
Nesrito-the Spanish diminutive of negro
Is the name given to the race inhabitlng
the interior Of some of the Philippine Is
lands The complexion is the same as the
Negroes, the lips are thinner the nose
smaller, the hair is black. though less wool
ly.
The Zulu's Is dull and heavy counte-
nance. though the face here bellies to some
extent the general character attributed to
the Zulu, which Is one Of sociability, bright
ness, gentleness and hospitality, and they
are said to be Industrious and easily taught.
When stirred up. as in the late war with
tne British. they show no ordinary spirit
OF bravery and revenge.
The Papuan. whose head forms the CEN
tral Inquire OF the group. IL in all probability
the worst specimen Of manhood on the face
OF the globe. The distinctive feature of
these inhabitants Of New Guinea is the friz-
zled. bushy hair. Of a coarse and wiry text
ure 1t Is impossible to show this to its
natural extent in the granite. but We have
all seen pictures of the Feejee islanders
who belong to the Papuan family, and re-
member the striking appearance Of the hair
When dressed according to Feejee fashion
slight protection against the blow Of a club
The hair dressing of this race couples a
considerable portion Of their time.
In the next face we recognize the negro.
The facial characteristics Of the native
AFRICAN are all prominently shown here
the woolly hair. thick lips. projecting lower
part OF face. long and narrow skull and
low retreating forehead. The Aka adioin-
ing the negro is known Familiarity as the
dog-faeed" negro. from the peculiar dog
like projection of the lower part of the
face. He Is also native Of Africa.
The next group Of heads on the west side
are those Of the aboriginal Americans-the
Fuesian. Botocudo and the Pueblo The
representative Of Terra del Fuego has the
wild untutored face one can imagine as
that of the child Of this rude land The
Fuegians are short and ugly, beardless.
and with long black hair of a rusty iron
color. They rank very low in the scale Of
civilization. The Botocudo is the represent
alive Of a native tribe of Brazil. living in
the forests Of Rio Doce on the boundary
Of the province Of Esparito Santo and Minas
Geraces. The Botocuioes or Aymores are
an isolated tribe numbering only some 1000.
The Botocudoes disfigure their faces as that
here shows by piercing the lower lip and
inserting In the hole a large circular piece
Of wood.

the stone used In the
construction Of the building They form the
Keystone ornaments Of the copinys Of the
arched windows.
The idea Of making these ornaments an
chronological study was especially appropri-
ate In more ways than one. A national IL
brary naturally embraces some account of
every nation on earth. and this, the main
reason for their being would be sufficient,
but there are supposed to be from thirty
TO thirty-1ve distinct races Of man on the
globe There were thirty three windows CT
the nature to require some special and
distinct form of ornament. hence the happy
conjunction Of purposes.
The artist who made the models for the
heads and under whose supervision they
have been carried out In granite was Mr..
William Boyd. native Of Scotland and
graduate Of the School of Fine Arts at
Edinburgh
The arrangement of the heads round the
building has been made In accordance with
the supposed degree of civilization of the
various races. as will be seen as we take
the heads round the building
On the 'front.' which is the west side
above the windows on either side of the
doorway are the heads Of the Saxon and
the Latin races, these representing the
highest types Of man. On the left Is the

pean. the Saxon of northern Britain, Of
Scandinavian origin. On the right Is the
Latin. the general name given to the peo-
pies speaking the languages derived from

italian people. Of course. but the Spaniards
are largely Of Latin origin. The French,
Portuguese. part Of the Swiss and other
nations of Europe. whose countries were
conquered by the Romans and occupied by
its armies and colonists. are all partly Latin

tives with their conquerors

Small Opportunities,

From Harper's Bazar
Opportunity was well pictured as a man
running. his hair well as his garment
streaming In the wind Whoever would
seize him must clutch his hair and hold
fast lest opportunity should slip out OF his
grasp.
Our opportunities for little pleasures the
small delights of life. come constantly to
every one Yet SO fieeting are they that
they disappear as swiftly as we perceive
Them Therefore. We cannot wait day or
an hour to grasp whatever pleasure life
offers US. Stop and enjoy quickly the sun
shine. the sweetness of falling rain on the
thirsty earth, the colors of the sunset the
solemn light of the stars the heartines of
the evening gathering, the brightness of
the warm well-ordered home, the cordial
greeting Of friends. the exchange of sympa-
tiny from heart to heart, the unconscious
grace of little children-the happiness that
comes from perceiving these things, and
possessing the ability to make the most of
them.
Do not wait to enjoy these until tomorrow.
or next week, or even until your present
employment is finished. The suspicious
time is now. The leisure Of the busy man
or woman Is as great today as tomorrow.

to see things more clearly. STILL he could
not at once make up his mind what to do.
Beyond some hazy idea of returning the
bracelet by the first post, and going on the
ccntinent-of course, he must resign his
employment-he had settled nothing, when
a step outside made him start to his feet
Some one knocked at the door of his cham
bers. He stood pallid and listening. struck
by a sudden fear.
THE police? he said to himself.
But a moments thought satisfied him
that 1t was improbable. If not impossible,
that his summons should be theirs; and he
went to the door listlessly and threw II
open. On the mat stood Burton Smith, in
a soft slouched hat, his hands thrust irto
the pockets Of his overcoat. Wibberley
Just glanced at him, and saw that he was
alone; and then. leaving him to shut the
door. returned to his chair and sat down
in his old attitude. with his head between
his hands. He looked already a broken
man.
Burton Smith followed him in, and stood
a moment looking down at him uncomfort-
ably enough. 1t is bad to have had such a
scene as has been described at your house
but it is worse, If a man be man, to ia &c
a fellow-creature in his time of shame. At
any rate, Burton Smith felt 1t SO. Look
much embarrassed as If he had been the
thief-'look here, 1t will be better to hush
this up. Give me this COMPOUNDED bracelet
to hand back to Lady Linacre. and the
thing shall go no further"
His tone was curiously suggestive both of
old friendship and present contempt and
pity. But when he had to repeat his ques-
ton, when Wibberley gave him no answer
his voice grew harsher. Even then the
man with the hidden face did not speak.
but pointed with an impatient gesture 10
the mantel shelf.
Burton Smith stepped briskly to the place
indicated and looked. He was anxious 10
spare the culprit far possible. Yes
there was the bracelet. He seized 1t, anx-
ious if the truth be known, to escape from
the place with all speed. But he laid IL
down the next instant quickly as he had
taken it up. and his brows came together
as he turned sternly upon his companion
This Is not the bracelet he said. There
