Blondes No Longer Popular

News comes from England that is
likely to start afresh the old and in
teresting discussion relative to the dis
appearance Of the blonde" 1t is in eff
feet that the ruddy-faced, tlaXen-haired
dolls made in Germany now find no
market in England, the demand at pres
cnt being for brunette dolls, which the
,ierman manufacturers show themselves
disinclined to furnish to the British
trade. Ten years or so ago some very
instructive statistics were printed tend
ing to prove that as result of the mix
ing of races the little edark-complexion-
cd woman was multiplying and the
bIonde was being crowded to the wall.
The popularity of the brunette proves
something about this, but what it
proves depends ON the way statistics
are used. In Spain, for instance-a
land of dark faces-a blonde foreigner
enjoys great popularity with the ladies.

THE WOMEN OF ARMENIA.
Bright and Unrd-wortinc-Mn VIII
Become Doctors.

+ Mdlle. BeFlarion, the younG Armenian
lady doctor of whose history our Wien
ma correspondent lately gave en- ac-
count, delivered lecture in that city
last night before an audience composed
chiefly of persons interested in the
question of woman's higher education,
says the London Daily News. Her sub
! ject was "The Women of Armenia and
Their Mohammedan Sisters" Our cor
respondent telegraphs: "Mdlle. Mar
garitt Beglarion did not hesitate to OPP
pose Prof. Albert's assertions as to the
inferiority Of women, as far as the Ar
menians are concerned. She said that
| when an Armenian looks around him he
can certainly not say that all he gees
is mans handiwork, for it is rather
woman's.
The products of industry which have
made the country famous-silks and
woos carpets and embroideries-are
all made by women in Armenia from
, the treatment of the raw material and
the designs to the final processes of
manufacture. No male Armenian claims
to have had part in this work, nor
does he dream of looking down upon
woman as an inferior being There is
not single proverb in all the dialects
of the country that ridiculc woman,
though there are innumerable ones in
her praise. Armenians say: Let wom-
en- learn all they can-they will be so
much more useful, and we will marry
them all the more willingly" DR..
Beglarion mentioned that women were
now to be admitted to the Petersburg
university, and promised herself great
results from this liberal concession, as
hundreds of families, whose girls had
passed through the grammar schools
and seminaries in Tiilis, declared they
should send them to study medicine,
and so obtain relief from the terrible
dearth of doctors in Armenia.

From the Washington Post: Senator
German tells the following story:
He was sitting one day eating lunch

came up and was introduced Finally
the visitor, who had not ought Cor
mans name, remarked to him:

Yes, SIR said Mr.. German.
Then you know a man there by the
name of Arthur Gorman?"
Yes, sir; very WELL" replied the SEN
ator, without smile.
What sort of man is he?"
He looks very much like me-" said
the senator.
Just at that moment the senator S
friend nudged the visitor. You are
talking to German himself" he whis-
pered. The man turned around. And
you are Gorman?" he inquired. The
senator pleaded guilty.
We'll, SIR" said the man, Il owe you
an apology"
Not at all" said the senator, pleas
antly.
But, sir, I do, persisted the man with
the air of one who has been greatly dis
appointed. Il am mortified beyond
measure. though Senator German
was really somebody, and you, sir, are
