ground that "+he world could not en-
dure two suns, nor France two Napol-
eons,'' so in this instance also. Salt
Lake was not large enough for two
queens at the same time. Only one
crown was provided, and as a result of
that loyal enthusiastic support ten
dered by the admirers of the success
full candidate. rather than to any lack
of merit on the part of her beautiful
and nearest rival, this crown was re-
served to adorn the head of Miss Rus
seil-noW Mrs. Finch. At that time we
were all ostensibly her subjects; now
the tables are turned and she becomes
our subject.
There is much to learn by study of
those elements that combine in form
ing the personality of this lady. She
presents conditions that have not been
encountered in the study of those
whose phrenographs have already APP
peared In the first place the lady
stands feet 10 inches high, tips the
scales at 16S pounds, and all the brain
measurements are slightly above the
average for her sex. AS regards the
personal charms of the lady, the writer
can only sigh and pass on. The cues
ton of beauty does not legitimately
come UP for discussion in these arti-
cles and anyway, it is a matter of in
dividual opinion. Most people refuse
to be instructed as to what constitutes
beauty and they will insist on holding
TO their own ideas in spite Of evidence
and in opposition to reason. There IS,
. however a certain kind of beauty that
does not pertain so much to the
features. but which grows out of char
acteP. and upon this we may speak
with safety and propriety. The old adj
age handed down to us from our great
great -grandmothers to the effect that

The beauty of a tree is not eS-
tinated alone by the color the thick
ness and texture of the bark, but its
stately height. its width, the Symmet-
nv of its branches and other points
must all be considered. This proverb
was doubtless originated by someone
in need of the consolation it was de-
signed to afford, but as a matter of
fact it IS as devoid of truth as it is of
poetry. Queen Jean has many charms
which the superficial observer would
he apt to overlook, and which the
Jealous eve is loath to admit. For in
stance she has perfect health; she is
mirthful hopeful, self-contented, full
of life and vigor and is perfectly at
cage both in body and mind. She has
neither mental nor physical pain, and
seems to lack nothing that would be
conducive to the full enjoyment of
life. Her lung capacity, her digestive
power and the circulatory system are
ali very strongly marked, and this
lady will never die of consumption or
be tortured with dyspepsia. She will
seldom take cold or be troubled even
with the ordinary headache, and is
more likely to die of old age than any
Thing else Her remarkably healthy
COMPLEXION and her strong physique
are the result Of an iron constitution
that has never been injured and weak
ened by false habits of diet that I'M
fortunately prevail in modern society.
AIimentiveness, or the love of food
IS very small In scale of it cannot
BE marked more than 3, and she will
be a remarkably small eater She will
he choice in the selection of food, but
will not care for great variety of
dishes, and Notwithstanding her weight
there are many parrots that Will both
eat and talk more than she. The little
food she does consume, however, is
thoroughly digested, and by the action
of her healthy lungs ii is well vitalized
and converted into an abundance of
rich arterial blood with which the
system is nourished and the body sus-
tanned in perfect health.
The lady has undoubtedly come from
unusually healthy stock, and those
broad. square shoulders and the gen.
srai contour of her brain indicates
Enthusiastically that she resembles her
father more than her mother.
The most conspicuous feature in her
chronological development is the prom
inence of those faculties that impart
self-confidenee. There is a common
and very erroneous opinion that large
self-esteem implies proportionate
amount of conceit on the part of its
possessor. This is a mistake. Conceit
is a diseased or perverted condition OF
that organ, and not its natural Ian
guage.
