His Trfp to .Japan.

The rector of one of the up town churches announced in Sunday school that all the boys who were faithful at- tendants at the classes for specified time should be taken on stereopticon trip to Japan.
 Time passed. and the period was fin ished. But before the promised enter tainment could be announced there was a ring at the rectory door one day, and a good woman appeared inquiring for the preacher. He was out. and she was told she must come again.
 She was willing, adding that she wanted to see him about her boys go- ing to Japan. He had won the trip, she said, but she didn't know what clothes he would need or what preparations she might have to make.

Measuring Brain Work,

An apparatus for measuring brain effort has been made by J. L. Balbi, who suggests that the arrangement might be made to point out the proper studies for children, or those which can be pursued with the least work and most profit, says an English paper. In the center of some heat conducting mate rial he places a thermo-electric pile, which is connected by flexible wire to a sensitive galvanometer. The slightest rise in temperature, due to rush of blood in the head, is indicated by the galva- nometer, the effect, of course, increasing with the intensity of the mental work. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

DEMOCRATS in congress are in thorough sympathy with the departmental congress sion commission which has been engaged for many months in looking into the busi ness methods of the government depart ments, with a view to recommending changes looking to a reduction of un- necessary officials. Every recommends ton of the commission has been promptly acted upon by congress, the last one-for abolishlng the bureau of customs of the treasury department--haying been passed hy the house without an hours discussion. Slowly but surely the leaven of reform is working The result of thirty years of ex travagance and favoritism cannot be over thrown in a day. or year, but will be overthrown in the end. This the demo- crats are determined upon.
 REFERRING to the fear of smallpox. Dr William J. OSullivan, the brilliant medlco- legal expert, who is recognized au- thority on zymotic diseases, says: Psychic influence has much to do with any malady. The mind can prepare the body for the reception of disease. A man in dread is in much greater danger than a man who is indifferent or courageous, pre- suming. of course, that the sanitary and hygienic environments in each case are similar Absolute cleanliness discourages the development of germs, but the clean liness must exist in the place as well as in the person. Pure air and plenty of light discourages the propagation of germ life so that even if the germ reaches a locality where these conditions exist. it cannot thrive, and consequently becomes inert. But the most important element, repeat, is fear. People exert on themselves a mental pressure which affects their entire physical being. It Is unconscious, but fully as effective as though known and premeditated. If they can divest tt en- selves of that emotion the chances of the contagion finding lodgment are reduced fifty per cent"

MAXINE ELLIOTT.
 berries but few women can supplement these by classical regularity of feature. When they can-then adjectives become turing ensemble.
 There are, however, three young actress es upon the American stage today, who have only lately come before the public, all of whom may claim the right to that often misapplied word-beautiful.
 "A Belle In Athens"
 The day was dark and stormy when l found myself en route to Maxine Elliott's pretty apartment on Madison avenue. had seen her on the stage, had ehaaosd upon her in shops, when women so TeadJ to lionize flawless beauty had followed her from counter to counter with such phrases as "A vision of beauty" "Oh, isn't she lovely" "Who is she?" falling from their lips. On this day I was to see her in her own home for the first time.
 The rain was dashing against tAe win dows, but the fire in the grate burned in vitingly, and near the leaping flame stood a small tea table. It was a cozy, restfuk place, but one forgot both the dark day and the inviting fire as the young hostess came forward.
 She wore yellow house dress, and her densely black hair, which has a velvety effect above her white temples, was ar ranged in negligent, artistic fashion that suited her languorous southern beauty to perfection.
 Her type of loveliness is most unusual. One seldom sees q woman in real life who in every feature and glance, in every move ment of tall, perfect, lissome figure, suggests the fitness of a Grecian gown. l heard a man say once-a very brilliant, of ido
 ''If we arc really living one life of long series, tbsn far back in the haze of the centuries Miss Elliott was belle in Athens, and r>;any q gladiatorial fight has she watched through the dust of the are na."
 She is a brunette whose lovely mouth is ruddy, her skin as clearly pale as porce lain. Gautier must have had just such woman in mind when he wrote ''Arria Marcella'' and described the fair Pom peiian in these words: "She was dark and pale. In her pallid face beamed soft, mel ancholy eyes heavy with an indefina ble ex pression of voluptuous sadness and pas sionate ennui; her mouth, with it's dis dainful curves, protested by the living warmth of its burning crimson against the tranquil pallor of her cheeks, and the curves of her neck presented those pure and beautiful outlines now to be found only in statues"
 She Is Genuine American.
 A few years ago Miss Elliott studied under Boucicault. Since then she has ap- peared in minor parts with Willard, late ly in the short lived "Voyage of Suzette," where she was most lovely as a harem beauty. She is now member of 'tThe Prodigal Daughter" company, playing the part of Violet.
 It is pleasing to our patriotism to know that such perfectly beautiful woman, de spite her tropical coloring, is a genuine American, having been born in Maine about 23 years ago. She has undoubted

now skiff can pass into what is left of the canal only at high tide.
 There is no disputing the manifest ad- vantages which the Cape Cod canal would offer to vessels bound from New York to Boston and other New England ports north of the Hub. A glance at the map is sufficient to show what the sail ors will gain and avoid in the passage from the waters of Long Island sound through Buzzard's and Cape Cod bays. Aside from its greater safety, the saving in distance is considerable, the new route being fully 60 miles shorter than the nearest now available-that by way of Vineyard and Nantucket sounds-and at least 150 miles shorter than the outside route, which at present is the safer for large vessels. Whether the present com pany constructs it or not, such 8 canal is the manifest destiny of Cape Cod.

 She sang several times, and no more beautiful picture could be seen in the sa- Ions of any country than she made, care lessly seated, her clinging draperies flow ing around her, her fingers Rlancing over the keys in the dreamy but accurate way which only the expert can command.

 No Grimaces For Her.
 There are few singers who are improved by the expression the face takes on while in the act of executing high notes. Miss Mayo is fortunate in this as in other things. When singing she looks radiant, inspired. There is no distortion of the fa- cial muscles, no grimace from her natu- rally parted lips. The high, forid notes pour out in velvety harmony, and long after the scene has been left behind the young, beautiful singer remains memory as delightful as it is lasting.
 It is her intention to go to Europe in the spring and study for grand opera. There, beyond all doubt, lies her sphere There are grand possibilities in her voice. She is dramatic, an actress by right of in heritance and one of the most beautiful girls in America.

day New York was in total Ignorance oi her being, the next her picture was in ev- cry paper, her name on every lip. Curios, ity concerning her was rife, for she was soon to make her debut in farce comedy.

 A Titan Beauty.
 saw her not long since as the heroine of "A Temperance Town" and her Titan hued hair, her large, flashing eyes, made a study in color that was fascinating and haunting.
 She is not as tall as Miss Elliott no1 Miss Mayo, and her type of beauty might be called "ruddy blond, for there is a great deal of red in the gold of her bewil- dering hair.
 The face is more arch and little more irregular than either of the other types de- scribed here-indeed the nose is saucily retrousse. This, while in its way very charming, robs Miss Miskel of a distinct ly Grecian profile. It is slight affiiction and can we'll be borne when one is given eyes that are bound to conquer, hair that drives colorists wild, a brow and mouth like Venus, and figure that in it's pliant grace while draped in the short waisted empire gown, suggests the immortal Rec amier's.
 MISS M1SKel s OEamaUlC history ndS been as brief as 1t is brilliant. She is Ken tuckian by birth and is very proud of coming from the blue grass country where men say the best horses, the best whisky and the loveliest women are to be found.
 Smitten by the fever of the stage, she came unheralded to New York and joined the ranks of the silent ones who knelt at Augustin Daly's throne. For months she drew a small salary there, doing nothing but hoping and wishing in vain as the days dragged on, while the goal for which she longed was still far away.
 Engaged to Dramatist Hoyt.
 An inspiration seized her to apply to Hoyt of farce comedy fame. She little dreamed as she trem blingly entered his office to make humble plea for chance to appear before the public what enthusi- asm she was to create in that small, dain- ty theater.
 She was tried, approved and engaged. She is an efficient while not brilliant ac- tress, and of her beauty there can be but one opinion.
 Now news floats over the Rialto that MT. Hoyt's leading lady, so providentially and impulsively engaged, is to be his wife
 Miss Miskel is much sought after by artists. How could it be otherwise, with dark lashed eyes of electric brightness, white skin having blush of springlike delicacy and hair waving above a low, broad forehead that can be compared to nothing more fitting than flames whose gold is touched with red?
 These three young women, in all proba- bility quite unknown to each other save by repute. might fttingly represent three types of beauty of which America should be proud. KATE JORDAN.

ELEONORE MAYO.

talent as an actress and will win fame as much by her artistic success as by her phenomenal beauty. To appreciate Miss Elliott's perfection of feature and coloring she must, however, be seen off the stage.
 The harshness of "makeup," and the glare of the footlights, which so aid a face of negative charm, destroy some of the delicacy of hers. It is the searching sun light, usually avoided by women as an arch betrayer of secrets, which shows the marvellous brilliancy of her glowing eyes, the transparency of her skin.
 Quite in contrast to this dusky eyed beauty Is Miss Eleonore Mayo, a daugh-' ter of Frank Mayo, better known as Davy Crockett. Miss Mayo is a blond of the purest kind. The rose upon her cheeks reminds one of a pale, northern flower against snow, for there never was any thing more startlingly white than hes Akin-it is like marble imbued with life Her eyes are strangely lovely. Instead of the usual blue, the color one expects to see when she lifts her flashes, they are taw- ny like tigers, dilating and becoming black or narrowing and shining like oSbs of bronze gold. Her hair is gold--silvery gold-the sort that makes a shimmering halo above the brow.
 Natures Masterpiece.
 The outline of her face is perfect. She has that wide curve from ear to chin of which Rosetti raves. Her features are not As absolutely classical as Miss Elliott's, but the slight irregularity to the pretty mouth and nose is youthful and piquant. Her teeth are small and white like a child's.
 Quite as lovely as her face are her shoul- ders and arms. She has the long, graceful throat which carries a head so proudly, and she moves with the stateliness that is erroneously supposed by dreamers to be the prerogative of princesses. As if nature were not bountiful enough in bequeathing these beauties she added a beautiful voice. Miss Mayo sings like an angel.
 A few months ago she made her debut in King Rene's Daughter, i" at Hermann's theater. Her success was instantaneous and complete. The opera, however, owing to the financial depression, ran only a short time, and the young soprano has since been singing at concerts, particularly those conducted by Walter Damrosch.
 At the recent reception of the Twelfth Night club Miss Mayo attracted great deal of attention. Ghe was gowned tn
