How would our European types
OF beauty be received IN other zones2
White travellers have declared that
In the heart Of the tropical forest
the negroes shining ebon skin is con-
sidered @sthetically lovely, while
the white skin of the European sug.
gests only sickness and disease. It
is clear that the question of what
constitutes beauty would be an
swered differently by every race.
To quote the apt saying of an old
Greek philosopher: ''Man is the
measure of all things" Every race
has its own Apollo and Aphrodite.
The traveller Hearne, who is thor
oughly acquainted with the North
American Indians, says that in the
eyes of these Indians the ideal of
beauty must possess "a broad, fat
face, small eyes, high cheek bones,
low forehead, large, broad chin, a
knobby, hooked nose, a golden
brown skim" In northern China
only the native Mantchoo types are
admired: broad face, high cheek
bones, very broad nose and enor-
nous ears. One of these cued
Asiatics who had travelled to Ceylon
upon seeing the prominent nose Of
the foreign ambassador wrote that
he had the beak of o bird and the
oody Of a man. Among the nations
of Cochin China a woman to be
charming must have a perfectly
round head and face.
Among these colored races a white
Skin is regarded as ugly. White
women receive little favor and atten-
ton from them. Chinese in the in
terror Of the kingdom consider all
Europeans ugly because of their
white skin and prominent noses.
The Siamese, with their small noses,
widely separated nostrils, large
mouths, rather thick lips, big faces
and high, broad cheek bones, simply
cannot conceive of European beau
ty. Their own women, they think,
are so much better looking than
Europeans. Ludwig Jacobowski, in
Chautauquan.

ovERAwED HlGHWAYMAN.s
Took Less Money from tiIs Victim
Than Ne antended.

The 'shue and cry" was frequently
raised in England. during the eight
eenth century, against highwaymen
who infested the public roads, and
made even the environs of London
unsafe for well-to-do travellers.
These knights Of the road were
tremendously respectful to the per-
sons they robbed, after their first
greeting: "Your money or your
lifel" emphasized by pistol, and
occasionally they became champions
the distressed.
= One highwayman, named Boulter.
who was hanged in 1778, met a Young
woman weeping. as he was riding on
horseback. Learning that her dis
tress was caused by the presence of
creditor and bailiff in a neigh
boring house to take her husband to
prison for debt of 80 guineas, the
highwayman gave her money to pay
1.-The debt. Then when the creditor
'sycsme along the road he took back
" the 30 guineas and rode off, much
pleased with his inexpensive charity.
On another occasion this same
highwayman was "bluffed" by an
imperious, rough nobleman, who was
also deaf. Lord o., the ncbleman,
while travelling in his post-chaise,
was reused from nap by the stop
ping of the carriage. Seeing q man
on horseback, pistol in hand, the
nobleman angrily asked:
What do you wantp"
Money, my lord, answered the
man.
II hat money! Are you the
rascal who just awoke me SO sud-
denlyp" M
BE quick, my lordl I've no time
to lose; hand over your purse.
my purse! You shall not have
it. You carry on fine trade, don't
your"
Lord o. then quietly pulled out a
full purse, and with his finger and
thumb deliberately took out three
guineas, which he handed to the
highwayman, saying: There, that's
enough for a scoundrel like you. 1
hope l may live to see you hanged. "
The robber was so surprised by
the nobleman's rough manner and
contemptuous indifference that he
did not insist in his demand for the
purse, though he had q pistol to en-
force IL.
