TYPES OF BEAUTY.

Types of beauty, like everything else,
follow the fashion. Blonde beauties a
decade ago were all the rage, but gold
en- hair, by the meretricious aid of
bleaches, became too common to be de-
sirabIe. Then followed the popularity
Of reddish-haired ladies, with Titan
warmth of eoloring, and it was won
derful to see how the dark hair Of many
fashionable women showed glints of
rudy color. Now black and white is
a combination prominently fashiona-
BILE, and the beauties most admired to-
day resemble Beardsley's drawings.
"Once a queen was sitting at her
broidery frame, and as she sewed she
prieked her finger and drop of red
blood fell on the white linen she was
stitching. Oh she exclaimed, I wish
had a daughter as white as pure
linen. as red as blood, and as black as
my frame of ebony" and the old fairy
story goes on to say that her wish was
granted, and a little princess was born,
who grew up with ebon black hair,
pure white skin and lips as red as red
could be.
This young lady, if she had lived at
the present time, would have undoubt-
eddy been the professional beauty of
her day 1t would seem that even beau

THE DEATH PENALTY.

During the last five years there have
! been 1902 homiCides in the United
| States-an average of 1917 per year. In
the same time there have been 1893 Iegal
| executions and Ills lynchings. These
! figures are interesting and suggestive
! They show, to begin with, that murder
Is more frequent crime than is gen
orally understood, and that it is in
creasing instead Of diminishing. In the
last year, 10000 persons were killed or
at the rate of S75 per month, whereas
In 1880 the number was only 1890, or less
than half as many as in 1896 1t is not
TO be supposed that the people are now
twice as bloodthirsty as they were five
years ago, or that provocations of muir
der have been multiplied to that extent
There must be some other reason for
this startling proof of the growth of the
worst crime In the calendar. It is to be
found. unquestionably, In the statistics
which tell how the murderers have
been dealt with. Only 1S41 of them I'm
all have paid the death penalty. and
only 723 of these-one in sixty of the
whole number-have been thus pun-
ished In a regular way and accord
ing to the forms of law. There have
been more lynchlngs than legal execu
lions In each one of these five years.
and the fact is one of evident general
significance.
1t viii not do to claim that the courts
have done their duty when so MANY
fnuruefclS nave been allowed to escape:
and to this dereliction the lynchings
are largely due But there is another
point In the matter that Is of still
more Importance as an explanation of
this lamentable state of things. There
is decided and growing public senti-
ment against the death penalty, and 1t
influences the action OF courts and
juries in murder trials oftener than
anything else. Thus in many cases.
verdicts OF acquittal are rendered for
no other reason than a conscientious
to condemn fellow-man
to death. The same Juries would
readily vote for conviction If some
other form OF punishment could be in
as Imprisonment for life.
with prohibition of pardon except upon
future proof of innocence, or for some
other legal and sufficient cause 1t is
useless to pooh-pooh this feeling as a
mere morbid prejudice, for Ii Is enter

RANsoM,s DELICATE HINT

During the attendance of ex-senator
Ransom, our Minister to Mexico, upon
the meeting of the Democratic National
committee a story was told on him to
illustrate his wonderful gifts of diplo-
macy: There was a young American
stopping at Minister Ransom's resi-
dence in Mexico. This young man APP
peared several times in a pair of
trousers of that delicate shade between
a blue-gray and a lavender. Ransom
refrained from remarking upon the
trousers as long as he could. Finally
he threw his arm around the young
mans shoulders and said, soothing him
down caressingiy the while; MY dear
boy; God bless you, my dear boy, how
are you this morning? / hope you are

most affectionate manner.

Of course the girls with private for

Social success by them all is made

reception. He had heard the praises
OF his own work until every one but a

was presented to him, who said, with

PnOrOGRAPuING THE INVISIBLE.

Mr.. Campbell SwiutOn exhibited at the
Camera Club, on the evening Of January Is,
some photographs Which showed distinctly
coins inside all Opaque leather purse, the
coins being visible whilst the pulso was al
most invisible. But by far The most curious
and important plate shown was that which
showed the bones in a mans hand whilst
the flesh was invisible. This photograph
was taken from the hand Of a living man.
The theory Of the process is that the lays
of radiation are caught. Mr.. Swinton is only
on the threshold Of his experiments, but
they are 50 novel that they must attract the
attention of II thinkers. Imagine a medical
man being able TO take a photograph of an
internal organ, or imagine a detective being
able TO take a picture through a brick wall.
In all seriousness science is edvancing, and
this last revelation GEMS to be so contrary to
what we have always thought, that the man
or woman who can see through you is not
the ideaIized person we have always be-
lieved. The physician will hail this dis
covery with great satisfaction, because he
has to form an opinion az to the nature Of
position, are often outside the observation
of any one of his special senses. How diff
cult the process is he knows better than any
other indi, idual.
The surgeon will also benefit by this pro-
cess, as it will enable him to see with
accuracy the exact position of fractures
or slipped tendons, or other injuries to
bones and joints. The discovery was orr
ginaIIy made by Professor R0nt Gen, Of
WuIzburg.
