The Myantse women carry on their heads a thin board, about a foot long and six inches broad. With this they cover their hair and seal it with wax.
 With the Tahitians to be called long nose" is considered an insult, and they compress the noses and foreheads of their children for the sake of beauty. The same custom is prevalent among the Malays and the natives of Brazil. In some parts of the world the nose is pierced, rings, sticks, feathers and other ornaments being inserted in the holes.
 The ancient Egyptians and Assyrians used paint to make their eyebrows seem wider; the Arabians of the present day go a step further in the use of paint. They endeavor to produce the impress sion that their eyebrows grow down to the middle of the nose and meet there.

 Miss Josephine Shaw is probably the best known to us of the early list by her continuing to act for some time after she married John Hoey of the Adams Express Company.
 It may be said in passing that Clara Morris also married a four merchant, but declined to go to Buffalo to live, preferring to retire upon a manorial es- tate at Riverdale.
 Mary Anderson Is probably the most brilliant example in the present gen. eration of this alliance of stage art and society. No other woman of our time had so f1owery a path over the boards.
 Then there was Edith Kingdom of Daly's company, an attractive and es- timable stock actress, whose salary never probably exceeded $60 a week, but who one day suffered it to be an- nounced that she was going to marry George Gould. the son of what had been the richest man in America. Her pin money is now at least S5O0O0 a year.
 Almost coincident with Mary Ander-. sons marriage was that of Annie Robe. who had suddenly flashed out at Wal lacks TAeater, and of Virginia Dreher at Daly's.

The most extensive system of seacoast defense in the world is being rapidly completed at this point in connection with the original fortification of Fort Monroe. Great progress was made on the original plans of the Fertilization Board during the war, much of the $50,000, GOO emergency appropriation being expended here Just why the remaining work on these plans and the extensions of the scheme of de- lenses is being completed in such haste no one appears to know. The engineer officers in charge of the work express their pleasure at the disappearance of the annoying series of delays experienced in tnaugurating the work. The almost anti quated original Fort Monroe and the two modern disappearing gun batteries and mortar battery will shortly be increased by the addition of three concrete emplace- ments for disappearing guns of 10-inch caliber, and the original, work will be further strengthened by the construction of concrete emplacement within the walls of the original stone fort, in which will be installed a disappearing gun of ten or twelve inch caliber.

0NES E VIRGIN 10 THE POPE

the last home of the Virgin was discov- cred under the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus, In Asia Minor.
 This discovery was made by the su- perior of the College of the Propagan- da in Smyrna. He was led to the search by accident. A little volume by one Catherine Emerich, German peasant girl of the seventeenth century, fell into his hands. She professed to have been enlightened in a vision as to the precise locality of the sacred spot. She gave full directions and a description of the house. The directions were fol- lowed The house was found exactly as described. In 1896 the Pope decided upon the plans for a grand cathedral which is to inclose the ruins for the fu- ture veneration of the faithful. It now only remains to build a suitable memo rial over the site of the Virgins home in Jerusalem.

The precise spot in Bethlehem where the stable stood in which Christ was born is marked by the Church of the Nativity, originally built, according to tradition, in the year 330 by the Elm peror Constantine. Part of the ma sorry attributed to Constantine is still extant, but most of the older work dates from the time of Justinian, about $50. Additions and alterations have been made from time to time since then, until the church as it stands is practically a medieval structure. The stable itself is a cave beneath the church. Thus the cycle of tradition in regard to the spots consecrated by the presence of Christ as infant, boy and man was completed at a very early date. But the legend which took up the story of the Virgins life after the death of Christ had no domiciliary wit ness to it's truth until on July 29, 1884,

years of his life, when he appeared to the world as a prophet and Messiah. There are many spots in the Holy Land which are associated with the mother of God. She was a native of Nazareth. Christ was born to her at Bethlehem. He was brought up under her care at Nazareth. Later the family domicile was transferred to Jerusalem. After the crucffixion, according to the legend, Mary fled with St. John the evangelist to Ephesus, where the beloved disciple built her a house, in which she spent her last days.
 In Nazareth is still pointed out the remains of what is claimed to be the erstwhile home of the holy family. This is now a portion of the Latin convent large, square building inclosed by wall. A chapel known as the Church of the Annunciation rises over the spot, but underneath the church are shown
