Styles In Faces.

Every age has it's own style OF face
and features, due possibly to the fash
ions of the day, which impress them
selves even in the expression of the hui
man countenance. No one who studies
modern portraiture can fail to note the
resemblance that runs through the
works of the fashionable painters. 1t
is not merely their characteristic style,
but the type which they have trans
ferred to canvas and which almost bor-
ders on sameness. These well-born,
carefully trained beauties Of today are
as much alike as peas in one pod. They
only vary in degree. OF course, the
artist "idealizes!" he would not be an
artist did he not find more in the face
before his easel than the sitter sees
when she gazes in the mirror, or her
family or friends may detect in daily
familiarity. All the sumptuous detait
of costume also adds to the variety of
a picture, but in pose, in expression,
there is traceable only this one woman
OF the end of the century, creature
Of superb physique, clothed or UNI
clothed like royal pricess. Compare
her with the pictured women of 100 or
200 years ago, and see how altogether
changed is this eternal feminine" In
so years time there will be produced
another beauty" but one ventures to
predict it will have as great sameness
as the beauty which commands our
admiration in the portrait exhibitions
of the present day, and which shows
that fashionable painters are slaves to
their subjects will.-Boston Tran
script.

Density In PHILIPPINES.

Americans can hardly realize how
densely some of the Philippine posses
sions are peopled Malolos is less than
thirty miles from Manila, yet day after
day the American columns advanced
through towns and cities from 1000 tc
10000 population. The fact is, as
shown by the latest census, that the
population Of the whole island of Luz
zon averages more to the square mile
than many parts of the United States.
BY the census of 1890, Illinois had
sixty-eight persons to the square mile
of territory, and Indiana had sixty
one. Luzon, by the census of 1889, had
seventy-nine. There are parts of Luz
zon which are mountainous and al
most uninhabited. The population is
concentrated largely in the richer por-
tions. In many provinces the popula-
ton exceeds 200 to the square mile,
which is greater in density than is
found in any state of this country ex-
cept Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Luzon Is not nearly the most densely
populated island of the Philippines.
The entire island of Cebu averages 210
people to the square mile, while Bohol
has 1873 and Panay has 155.-St. Louis

TAGGING AT EATON.
1t Stiii Exists, But In Greatly Modi-
fled Form.


fled Form.
The system of tagging exists at
Elton, as in nearly all large public
schools, but it is practiced now in
much modified form. AS shortly de-
scribed in the Chautauquan, 1t may be
said To be the acknowledged right or
elder boys to exact from the younger
boys (their fags) certain services
mental and otherwise. It's origin is
obscure; it may have arisen as an econ
omy, when schools were poor, as 1t
must save expense and labor for the
younger boys to black boots, make
tea and boil eggs for the older ones. =
But Elton is now exceedingly
wealthy. its endowments being nearly
2l,OOO pounds year, and there can be
no reason why, because lad is young,
he should have to wait upon his
schoolmate as his servant and be ex-
posed to the chance of very great tyr
amy. In the latter end of the last
century the tagging at Elton was so.

time prevented from getting his own
lessons for the next day, would re-
ceive a thrashing from the master for
the omission. Many instances OF
heartrending bullying and cruelty
practiced by the big boys on their flags
were reported, but tagging at Elton has
been greatly reformed.
This and many other Improvements
were mainly due to the exertions OF
DR.. Hawtrey, who was head master
from 1894 to 1853, and who, in conjunc-
ton with Provost Hodgson, wrought
most of the changes which have given
the college its present standing. Be-
fore DR.. Hawtrey's appointment the
number of the pupils had fallen to
something under 200, the morals and
tone Of the school were exceedingly
low and terrible abuses had crept in.
DR.. Hawtrey at once commenced the
work of reforms, sweeping innovations
were made and new regulations insti-
tuted the tone of the school improved
and the numbers rose to III, the high
est yet attained.

An Amish colony Is locating in Wa
bash county, Illinois. A representa-
tive of that brotherhood effected a
trade recently by which they come in
possession Of several farms, and they
have contracted to locate twenty-five
families within the next six months;
but it is the opinion Of many that this
is only the advance guard of a great
colony which is to follow later. The
Amish are a religious body similar to
the Quakers in many respects. Most
of them are OF Swiss or German ma
tionality. They are a people OF rugged
honesty, simple in their habits. indus
trious and economical and calculated
to make very desirable citizens. They,
like the Friends, are governed entirely
by brotherly love under the denomi-
nation of the church. They absolutely
refuse to be drawn into any kind of
litigation or trouble, and stand by one
another steadfastly. 1t Is said to be
matter of history that they have never
yet allowed one OF their number to lose
his home or default in the payment for
his land. Their object in locating in
colonies is that they may establish and
maintain a church.

MUSICAL BOXES IN MANY
FORMS.

The chief industry of Geneva is the
manufacture of musical boxes. Thou
sands of men, women and children are
employed in the factories, one of
which was visited by a traveller who
gives some interesting particulars
about his visit.
An attendant invited him to take a
seat. He did so, and strains Of delight
fus music came from the chair. He
hung his hat on a rack and put his
stick in the stand. Music came from
both rack and stand. He wrote his
name in the visitors register, and on
dipping his pen into the ink music
burst forth from the inkstand.
The manager of the factory ex-
planned the process of making musical
boxes, a business which requires pa
thence and nicely. The different parts
are made by men who are experts in
those parts, and who do nothing else,
year in and year out.
The music is marked on the cylin-
der by a man who has served several
years of apprenticeship. Another man
inserts in the marked places pegs
which have been filed to a uniform
length. The comb, or set of teeth,
which strikes the pegs and makes the
sound, is arranged by a man who does
nothing else. The cylinder is then re-
volved, to see that every peg produces
a proper tone.
The most delicate work of all is the
revising of each peg. 1t is done by a
workman who has a good ear for
music He sees that every peg is in
its proper place and is bent at the
correct angle. When the instrument is
in its case an expert examines it to
see that the time is perfect.

A general scheme for the circum-
