TYPES OF FEMININE BEAUTY.
From an Italians Standpoint Spain
Leads, With England Second,

From an Italians Standpoint Spain
Leads, With England Second.
Signor Paolo Mantigazza, the
eminent Italian man of letters,
who has been giving his opinions
on the women of the different
countries he has visited, awards
the palm for beauty to the Spanish
women. He sums up their char
acter as very "religiOus, very igno-
rant, very jealous, sensitive, idle
and proud" French women he de-
clares to be "amiable, dreadful CO.
quettes and generally false" The
women Of Germany are described
as the best educated in Europe,
good natured, Industrious, splen-
did house-keepers and mothers.
The Italians are praised for their
mOdesty, but condemned for their
sentimentality, ignorance and
tendency to falseness. But of
English women he writes in glow
ing words: Beauty itself. Her
hair is like gold, she has heavenly
eyes, a peachlike complexion, and
delicately formed nose. She is
reserved, a little hypocritical, very
active and generally slave to ETH
Quette." The gallant Italian critic
should come to America and see
the perfect women, symmetrical in
character and rich in common
sense, which is the active principle
of genius beautiful in face, with a
better dignity than the British
maiden's geometrical convention
ality; glowingly Independent and
essentially feminine. The only
trouble the Italian man would en-
counter is that she is so bewilder-
ing in her individuality that
she cannot be classified under any
sterOtyped formula, but is just
herself and unlike any other wOm-
an on the globe. The reason why:
Because the American man in

WASHINGTON. Nov. l.-Secretary of
Agriculture Morton furnished yesterday
the number of cattle exported to the

ing each year since 1874. together with
the value of the cattle in dollars. each.
The statement shows that the United

1894, the United States has already
furnished Great Britain 345, IA head.

TENDENCY Or DOGS TO FIGHT.
The Laplanders Given Much Trouble When
ever Their Teams Meet.

The Lzplanders Given Much Trouble When
ever Their Teams Meet.
In countries where dogs are used for
draught purposes it requires certain
amount of skill on the part of the
drivers to get two teams past one an
other. In Labrador whenever two
teams meet they try to stop and fight.
The dogs which are used for traction
are extremely ferocious by nature, and
their tempers are II. no wise improved
by the state of semi-starvation in which
they live. During the summer time
they get nothing from their masters
and have to pick up living for them
selves as best they can. This is no
easy task. and any leather straps or
old boots which may be found lying
about are eagerly swallowed.
In the winter they are supplied with
salt fish for breakfast and likewise for
supper, and this unpleasant diet does
not tend to reduce the combative spirit
within them. And, therefore, if two
sledges chance to meet, in nine cases
out of ten the dogs fall upon one an
other with the most complete disre-
gard for the cries of their masters or
the cuts of the cruel, long-lashed whips.
The result of forty dogs all falling
on one another at the same time may
be imagined. Over go the sledges, out
tumble the drivers, and anything they
may have behind them. AS a rule a
few minutes struggling will find the
dogs so entangled that they cannot
move.
1t should be borne in mind that every
dog has his own particular trace. to
one end of which he is attached and to
the other the sleigh. These traces OF
course vary in length according to the
wearers position in the team. and the
leader is often fifty feet away from the
wheeler.
The consequence is that in short
time dogs and sleighs get wound up in
an intricate tangle and it takes the
drivers long time to unravel each
dog and prevent him from renewing
| the onslaught as soon as he is free.
To prevent the dogs fighting in the
night the owners have devised very
clever kennel which stops any little
disturbances of that kind. All dogs
stand on their hind legs to fight. SC
| that they have their fore feet for
wrestling purposes. The kennels are
made SO low that this little maneuver
is impossible, and fighting therefore is
out of the question. - Detroit Free
