The most famous OF women as captiv-

standard nnee OF classic beauty. The
enthrHlment which has enticed men from
all the silurements OF ambition and the
claims Of duty has been due far less In
all sges to mere animal perfectness than
to thu destinations OF character.
It Ia q providential dispensacon IN the
mating OF the sexes that defined lines do
not constitute the absence Of ugliness. to
say nothing of the presence OF beauty,
otherwise happy marriages would be few.
How q man could see anything to admire
in the woman he marries. Is one Of the
puzzles which form the chief source OF
speculation On the part OF both his male
and female acquaintance. Either the
woman Is not ugly. or the man Is lacking

1t is practically immateriak what the
solution of tha protylem may be- No man

at least when he marries her. and as, even
IL she became 50. the change Is In his
View and not In her appearance. IL may
be assumed either that most men are de-
fective In appreciation OF beauty. or that
no woman-certalnly no married woman
can be entirely ugly.

sENATOR FROM A CITY.

The Philadelphia Prsss. commenting
upon the fact that q United States senator
is TO be. selected for Pennsylvania by the
next legislature in place OF Senator Cam
eron, puts In a claim for Philadelphia, and
the Post-Tntelligeneer suggests to that
venerable commonwealth the name OF
Charles Emory Smith.
The Press calls attention to the remark
able fact that IL is sixty-three years since
Philadelphia supplied a senator. 1t Is
without parallel in the United States.
New York. Boston. Baltimore. Cincinnati.
Chicago, ST. Louis. st. Paul. New Orleans.
Portland and Seattle have Jared very
much better. and since there IL now no
conspicuous figure In Pennsylvania poll
tics in the country district with the expe-
rience in public life desirable in such
representative, the claim Of the chief city
seems to have some force.
Tho argument Of the Press 10 that there
Is a valid reason underlying It's demand.
The chief city Of state Is the focus of It's
commercial and Industrial life. Its cur
rents rsdiate through the state, and the
interests OF the state center In its acttvi-
ties. The qualifications OF such a senator
are that he shall be strong ana vigorous:
he should be familiar with practical az
fairs. thoroughly acquainted with the
great business, commercial and Industrial
interests OF thu city and the state and
be capaole Of serving them efTectually and
successfully. Philadelphia should GER
sainiy be given the honor OF naming the
man.
