THE GALLANTRY OF MAN.
Is Always the BeautifuI Woman Who Figures in the Lead-
 ing Part.

s'Nothing ever happens to the ugly woman, said a cynical gentleman, who had just glanced at the newspa- per notice of social function to New Orleans Times Democrat man. ''She must live the most prosaic life imaginable. The hostess is always beautiful woman. The heroine is all ways a beautiful woman, and even in the sublimated conceptions of poesy, where facial and physical beauty gen. erally is subordinated, the woman is always a beautiful woman. Evange- line was beautiful. Lucille was beau tiful. Lucrece was beautiful-in fact, all down the line from Eyes day to this good hour, whenever a woman staggers to the center of the stage in any way, she is beautiful woman. l have often wondered what part the ugly woman plays in life. Sheedoes not give any of the big functions. She is never the president, the secretary. or anything else in any of the wom- en organizations of the day. She is not my sweetheart, nor yours, nor the wife of the other fellow. These are all beautiful women. Even in, the more violent walks of life the ugly woman plays no part. She is never the subject of the designing villain and tlse measliest pickpocket in the world would not honor her by snatch ing a purse from her. The fiendish fellow who delights in the mutilation of human forms would never think of picking out an ugly woman for sub ject. He would rather dash vitriol or something equally destructive into the face of really beautiful woman. He would want victim who was be- wilderingly beautiful, stupendously stunning and all that sort of thing. These reflections have convinced me that nothing ever happens to the ugly woman, and she must indeed live a very dull and uninteresting life. But really have another solution of the matter I do not know the ugly lady, and while I have made no spe- cial effort to peer into her place of hiding and cannot say for certain whether she is there or not, yet I am inclined to believe that there are no ugly women. They are all beauti- ful, and I guess this is why nothing is ever put down as happening to the ugly woman."

Folly of an English Girl.

Devonshire, England, is to lose an interesting monument of the folly of wealthy man. The earl of Egre- mont, who pursued so picturesque a career in the sos of the last century, resolved to erect mansion at Sil- verton, near Exeter. which should be an example to the world of what his genius and riches could produce in the way of beauty and luxury. He was his own architect. and so pro- fuse were his ideas that he put up about 200 marble manteipieces, had the doorknobs of the principal rooms fashioned of amber and the bath cut out of solid piece of marble. He spent a quarter of a million on the place, and even then it was incom- plete. It is, in fact, incomplete to this day, and now it is to be sold as building material

TIPS FOR GIRLS.

The girl who hopes to gain mems friendly admiration by maHgning her own sex will fail.
 'Tis better to say a stupid thing that hurts no one than to wax bril- liant at the expense of a friend.
 Iris better to be a little slow than deal too fast, if a girl cares for her place in social or business circles.
 Mannerisms spoil girls sniff1ing, giggling, interrupting and making eyes render any girl unprepossess- ing.
 Nothing is more attractive in a girl thnn devotion to her parents, but it is q quality shown better by action than by honeyed words.
 Girls who consider it too much trouble to be neat, careful in dress, in converse and behavior, will never wear betrothal rings.
 Keeping house we'll will not attract social idlers, but men of sense hope to find housewifely talents in girls whom they would marry.
 The summer girl is. a joyous crea- ture if she is careful to do only those things that she knows will give none the right to call hor fast.
 The girl who has something to learn from her elders is rare, but she who will repress the constant Il know" will show diplomacy.
 Unless you are willing to have the Misses Rustic visit you next winter, do not begin now to write letters to them, fishing for invitations.
 Iris noble daughter who lifts" a few burdens from timeweary moth CT and who helps father by sacrifice possible only to clear-headed girls.
 Kind fathers want their girls to have all the fripperies their hearts desire, but kind daughters count the cost to the "dad'' who must work the harder.
 If woman is the daughter of smiles, girls should radiate laughter. She who laughs merrily renders her self an auricular delight, but let none laugh at nothing Philadelphia Rec ord> ~-z

NO REST IN AMERICA.
Machinery in the United States Is Not Permitted to Last Until
 Out of Date.

An experienced railroad man has the following to say regarding Eng fish railway methods, says Victor Smith, in the New York Press: Ut is singular, to say the least, that the English railway managers have just discovered that American locomotives consume more coal, use more oil and require more repairs than those of their home make. If this is fact, it could have been demonstrated in a trial lasting a month. Over here we wouldn't accept an English locomo- tive as gift. It would be regarded as an antiquated monstrosity. I fear that the British are beginning to feel a trif1e sore over America's conner cial invasion1 of all the markets of the world, and the Midland railway people are trying to knock us on our locomotives"
 Continuing, the official said: s'The chairman of the Midland made one impressive statement, namely: We tend our engines carefully, rest them, clean them and do everything to make them last In this country we rest nothing, not even ourselves. Bishop Cumberland's familiar saying: Tt is better to wear out than to rust out has taken hold of us. body, soul and brooches. The Englishman rests his hats, shoes, trousers, coats, horses, carriages and whatever else he may own, animate or inanimate. A few advanced Americans have re- gently adopted the practice of tree ing their shoes for rest, and the result is longer wear without losing shape Some of our locomotives are never allowed to cool from one years end to another. Little wonder they do notNlive to be classed among the antiques" 4
