HANDSOMEST LONDON WOMAN.
Lady Helen Nincent's Charms-She Comes
from Handsome Race.

from "a Handsome Race.
1t is now ten years since the beauti-
full Lady Helen Venitia Duncombe made
her bow to London society under the
chaperonage of her sister, the Duchess
OF Lefnster. Her Grace's death leaves
Lady Helen Vincent as she has now
become, the most beautiful woman of
London society. She is of slender fig
ure, with perfect bust, full arms, and
a face exquisitely chiseled and denoting
Intelligence of a higher order. Her
skin is white with the whiteness Of
snow, her eyes are a light blue. Her
husband, Sir Edgar Vincent, not 80
many years ago was voted the handsom-
est man in the Household troops, to
which he belonged in the capacity Of
captain in the Coldstream Guards. At
present he occupies the lucrative posi-
ton of financial adviser to the Khedive
and director general of the Ottoman
bank. Lady Helen comes from a stock
that has given England many beauties.

man. Other descendants of Sheridan
noted for their beauty were Lady Sey-
mour, afterward Duchess of Somerset,
at one time England's crowned Queen
of Beauty" and the mother of the pres
ent Marquis of Dufferin. And all these
women not only inherited the good
looks for which their brilliant ancestor
was noted, but also some, at least, Of
the wit that made his fame. Lady
Helen Vincent was the brightest of the
Duncombe sisters, and did not make
the mistake of marrying for love and
position alone. like her late sister, the
Duchess of Leinster. Her Grace, while
in the flesh, was always hard pressed
for money, and was very glad of the
several hundred pounds per year which
the enormous sales of her photographs
yielded her Sir Edgar is a million

NO MORE THRASHING DINNERS.

Farmers Wives of Cass and Miami
Counties, Indiana, Inaugurste a Reform.
Farmers wives of Cass and Miami
counties, Indiana, have voted to abolish
the old-fashioned thrashing dinners,
which have been in vogue in rural dis
tricts from time immemorial. As a
rule it has heretofore taken from three
TO five women almost week to prepare
the VlandS necessary to properly enter
eain the twenty or thirty men that
usually constituted a thrashing crew,
and the task Of placing things in order
after their departure has been almost
as great. BY the new system all this
work and bother will be done away
with. Each man will eat his breakfast
and supper at home. His dinner will
also be taken there, if the distance will
permit. II not, it will be taken with
MIN In basket His horse feed will
also be carried along in a bag, and
there will thus be nothing to discom-
mode either the farmer or his WIFE
Another change nee1ssitated by the in
PRODUCTION of this Ian is the substitu-
ton of shorter l0urs for the old-time
day, which consisted of as many hours
as the farmer or thrasher chose to
crowd into it. The new arrangement
appears TO give se..s!action and will
probably come into general usage

An Odd PaHanent

E Turke, the head chemist of a sugar
refinery at Chino, Cal, has recently
been making some experiments which
have resulted in the completion of the
oldest pavement ever laid. 1t is made
mostly of molasses, the kind used hav-
ing been a refuse product hitherto be-
lieved to be utterly worthless. It Is
simply mixed with a certain kind Of
sand to about the consistency Of as
phalt, and laid like asphalt pavement.
The composition dries quickly. and be-
comes permanently hard. The heat Of
the sun, instead of softening it, makes
the pavement harder and drier A
block of the composition successfully
withstood repeated blows of a machine
hammer and showed no signs Of
cracking or bending. Should the pave
1nent prove to be all that is claimed the
sugar planters of the south may find
a profitable market for the millions of
gallons of useless molasses which they
are said to have on hand.

Women of 1875.

Here is a curious extract from the
Lady's Monthly Magazine Of 1895, which
is written In the style of the proverbs,
as follows: Who shall describe a wom-
an of fashion? Her value is only in
her jewels. She seeketh powders and
paint, and with her hands willingly
maketh cosmetics. She bringeth food
and raiment from afar. that it may be
more costly; nothing homely, or cheap
ly purchased, pleaSeth her. She con-
sidereth a piece of china and buyeth
it, and squandereth her husbands
money in vanity. She girdeth not her
body with modest raiment; her ap-
parel is scant and undelicate. She
maketh her house the resort of gam
blers; her candles burn and give light
to evil d0ings. She layeth her hands
on the cards; yea, eagerly her hands
divideth the pool. She maketh card
purses, and delivereth tickets of invi-
tation for masks and revelry. She
openeth her mouth to utter evil words;
her tongue retaileth scandal. Her
children are nurtured by a stranger and
respect her not. Her husband too, he
despiseth her. Fortune, birth, and
beauty might have raised her above all
others; but she is the child of folly.
Her conduct should, therefore. have
made her pattern for all women and
her works would have praised her in
the gates.

Literary Notes.

"The Heart" is the title of an excellent paper
lately published. Not until we read this in
structive treatise did we have the true cOncep-
ton Of how wonderful is the work of the human
heart. We quote by special permission of the
author the following from the preface:
"Very few people have ever given the atten-
ton to their hearts that this important organ
warrants This wonderful little machine which
is not much larger than your hand, and only
about two and a half inches thick, labors day
and night without rest, performing such an en-
ormOus amount of work as to be almost beyond
belief. Psychologists say each pulSation, OF con-
traction of the heart eXerts so pounds of force,
which amounts to $500 amnute, 216,000 an hour,
and the incOnceivable number Of 5,i$4,000 in Il
single day Now, it is necessary that all this
vast amount Of labor should be done, and well
done every day. The health Will surely suffer
in consequence of the least failure on the part
of the heart to properly perform its duties,
When it is weak or deranged it directly affects
every organ in the human body and they are I'm
able to perform their duties from lack Of blood
and nerve force Those organs that are more
intimately associated with the heart are usually
first to feel the effects when it is irregular and
ails to perform its proper functions
This treatise it very artiStically illustrated
with colored plates, and, although strictly scien-
tiic, is written in a popular language, making
it very interesting reading for all. The editor
of this paper has made special arrangement
with the publishers to have this treatise sent
free to any reader who sends postal card and
mentions this paper, to THE MILES COMPANY,

Good Horse Sense In Burros.

The Mexican burros ascertain where
to dig for water by closely observing
the surface Of the ground. We had
found in an arroyo sufficient quantity
of water to make coffee when we OBJ
served three burros searching for water.
They passed several damp places, exam
ing the ground closely, when the leader
halted near us and commenced to paw a
hole in the dry, hot sand with his right
forefoot. After awhile he used his left
forefOot Having dug hole something
over foot in depth, he backed out and
watched it intently. To our surprise, it
soon commenced to fill with water. Then
he advanced and took drink and step
ped aside, inviting, think, the others
to take drink. At all events they
promptly did so and then went away,
when we got down and took drink
from their we'll The water was cool
and refreshing-much better, in fact,
than we had found for many day.
There is no witchcraft about the Mex
lean burros, but they have good horse
sense. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
