The Woman of Fascination.

The woman Of fascination is never
what is called an educated woman,
than which there is nothing more re-
pellant to the sane and world-taught
mind.
She feels that she has a mission to
instruct oil those who do not happen
to have learned precisely the same
things that she has learned. More
over she is very self-conscious and
painfully var of her own mentality.
She is therefore Intellectually like the
vulgar parvenu who has raked a sud-
den fortune from some mud heap and
makes himself offensive by his eager
ness to let you know how much he is
worth.
Blue eyes-that is to say, unmiti-
gated china blue-are never fascinat-
ing in a woman. But blue eyes verg-
ing upon gray, and also eyes of any
other color, may be admitted to the
category, with a certain discrimina-
ton against hazel eyes and a strong
preference for eyes of violet black.
The most fascinating eyes are those
that hesitate between gray and green,
at times becoming very dark.-Harry
Thurston Peck, in the Cosmopolitan.

Married to Cure the Blues,

"Well, sir, I had no more though,
Of getting married to-day when I went
to bed last night than / had of shoot
ing myself" said Frank Provost, OF
Kansas City, Mo-, when he applied to
Judge Kerr, of Kansas City, Kan, for
q marriage license.
"But after L got up this morning, ~
he continued, "the weather was so bad
that I was seized with an attack of the
blues, and, meeting my sweetheart.
we decided to get married. She had
the blues also."
Probate Judge Herr smiled and
asked the prospective bride, who was
Mary Baker, also of Kansas City, No.,
if such was the case. She answered
in the affirmative, and after the license
was issued the Judge performed the
ceremony which made them man and
wife.-Kansas City Journal.

Inc Hair RestOrer Agents Encounter
With a BaId-Headea Man.
"No,"t the man said, 81 do not want
a hair restorer.'
The agent smiled genially. It was
his beast that he never lost a sale.
He sat down and took a bottle of the
restorer out Of his bag. 'This has
made more handsome men,"he began,
then interrupted himself. "You must
have been unusually good-looking
when youAad your hair" He spoke
critically critically Without " trace of vulgar

when they can see a mans bare skull
and make sure of the confines of his

Besides, they know a man who has
lost his hair ought to have something
to make up to him for it. But [ was

You're wrong again." the bald
headed man interrupted. II tried
for seven years to marry a certain girl
while my raven tresses clustered
luxuriously about my brow. Since
I've been bald. I've been married
twice; and [ shouldn't mind giving
you odds that I could get the original
woman who refused me, for number
three, if the opportunity eve de-
velops."
The ~hair-restorer agent began to
look a little tagged, but he continued
gamely: There's. n other point
that I'm sure will appeal to a man like
you. Hair acts as a cover and a pro-
lection to the head, and the brains
within. Even leaving out the colds,
and such-iike, a man catches for want
of hair. there's the direct harm to the
brain-paresis and all kindred dis
eases never attack u person with a

'Not at all. You haven't half
grasped the subject. The hair is a

carefully-''must have a brain in a
singular state of arrested develop

size and activity, you have, by fore

The evacuation Of the islands of

as rapidly as circumstances will allow.
On each island the Spanish forces are
moving from interior districts toward
a main point of ultimate departure
In Cuba. Havana; in Porto Rico, San
Juan. As one district after another
is vacated by the Spaniards it is oc-
cupied by the Americans, who are
Obliged to exercise civil as well as
military and police functions. The
evacuation Of the districts and the en-
barkation of the troops are slow proc
esses, but the unavoidable delays are
proving highly beneficial to the Amer
leans. By the time the work Of the
Joint military commissions Is finished
and he last Spanish forces are ready

The Riot of the Elements on Fair Islsnda
The most disastrous hurricane ever
known in that region has swept over
the Windward group of the Lesser An
titles islands, killing more than 500
persons, rendering $4,000 others home
less, and tniicting q damage to prop
erty which is, at present writing, BE-
yond estimate. Kingston, the beauti-
full capital city Of the island of st. VIM
cent, was almost wholly destroyed;
the island Of st. Lucia, the largest and
most picturesque in the group, in adj
dition to the wind, a tidal wave and
tremendous rains, was injured by nu-
merous landslides; and the island OF
Barbados, the most windward OF the
group, and the headquarters of the
British government in the West Indies,
was ravaged for ten hours, and the
area of cultivation vas completely OBJ
liberated. The destruction was the
greatest on Barbados and st. Vincent.

tress unparalleled in the history OF the
West Indies, and aid was 1t once In
