GREAT BEAUTIES.
Many Handsome Faces Are Found
Among the Women of CASH
mere, India.

Many of the women of India, and es-
pecially those of Cashmere, are beauti-
full. In typical Hindu beauty the skin
is just dark enough to give rich,
soft appearance to the complex
ion, says a London journal. The
features are regular, the eyes mild and
black and shaded by long silken lashes,
the hands and feet are small and well
formed, the demeanor is modest, the
manner is gentle, the voice low and
sweet. There are fne-looking women
among the middle class Hindus, IS well
as among the upper ten, and even
among the lower class the faces are
often very pleasing. Many a Hindu
woman who has, perhaps, little pre-
tensions to beauty Of face, has, never
theless, the step and carriage of a
princess, and If one is not too fastid-
ious about perfection of eyes. and
mouth and nose her figure as she walks
down the street with her load on her
head Is truly beautiful sight.

FiIe on AIIiRator's Teeth.

A remarkable operation was per-
formed by dozen keepers on a 13-foot
alligator which is kept in the Bronx
ZOO at New York. The alligator, which
is a powerful animal, showed signs of
fierceness for some time. He wound
up one morning by killing an eight-foot
companion in the same tank. Then it
was decided that the big ones teeth
should be cut. A rope with a sling
was lowered over his head and drawn
taut; the tail was similarly treated.
Each one of the legs was next secured
in a like manner. BY patience and re-
peated trials a lasso was got into the
ponderous jaw. The alligator gave a
bite and the rope parted like thread.
Then a wire rope was secured. This
was finally got into place.
Sticks were pried between the jaws
to keep them from clashing together.
Thus held, the reptile lay helpless and
the work of saving off some of the
longest and most dangerous teeth was
soon accomplished.

ITALY's Discomfort.
Strikes on the Farms Caused by Poor
Pay, Poor Food and Socialist
Agitation.

From the 18th of June to the 18th
of July the wheat, rye and barley har-
vests are in progress in Italy and the
socialists are taking this critical time
in the agricultural industry TO spread
the gospel of discomfort against the
conditions of labor, wages and taxa
tion. 1t is feared that large farmers
will be ruined by strikes among farm
laborers. On an average two strikes
a day have occurred in Italy since
February, the movement affecting all
trades and classes of working men.
At any moment it is feared that a
spark might kindle a confagration.
The socialist leaders plead for peace
full means for bettering the conditions
Of labor, but the Italian people are
infiammable and they are notorious
ly underpaid and underfed. They are
90 largely in the majority that they
hold the remedy in their own hands,
II they would but use their power in
telligently and toward definite end.
But the mass of the people are miser-
ably ignorant as well as poor, and feel
doubly helpless and impotent. They
have only brute strength and lives to
throw away in fruitless revolution.

HOW TO JUDGE OF TOBACCO.

Color, burn and texture are the
three things which the grower of to

present the trade calls for light

be uniform, not notified The leaf
when rolled on a cigar and smoked
must leave a white or light ash
which does not flake Oft and fall into
ones bosom or over his waistcoat,
and IL must not "coal''-i. e., have a
black, oharred ring just behind the
ash on the burning cigar. This is
sure to give a bad havsr and taste.
The leaf also must burn freely, and
when lighted hold firm for a reason.

elasticity of a piece of kid, so that It
may be drawn smoothly and closely
about the cigar. Flavor is not want

there be much of II it is sure to be
bad. Perfect burn, color and texture
can be got in the northern climate,
but a delicate and agreeable flavor

conditional upon soil and fertilizers.
1t is desirable, therefore, that the
leaf be neutral. without taste, as far
as may be. We get the flavor wholly

qualities of leaf is the problem of

WIRES TELL THE WEATHER.
Ltrandu os the Telegraph Founa 90
ne Accurate Meteorological
Prophets.

There are no more reliable weather
prophets anywhere than the tele-
graph wires that are now 80 common
as to be within the reach Of every
one" as bargain counter hustlers ex-
press it, This novel discovery was
made by a German physician in the
following manner; AS he was waiting
for a train at a country station he heard
q shrill sound. which was made by the
wind as II passed through a network
of nearby wires. At once the doctor
remembered that he had frequently
heard a similar sound either imme-
diately before or after a storm or
heavy fall of rain or snow, and IL nat
urally occurred to him to try and as
certain whether there was any connec-
tion between the sound and such
changes in the weather.
As a heavy shower of rain fell with
in as hours after he had heard the
sound al the railroad station he con-
cluded that there was such a connec.
don, and he then determined to inves-
tigate the matter thoroughly. As a
result he now maintains, first, that any
unusual disturbance in the telegraph
wires is an infallible indicator of bad
weather, and, second, that the nature
Of the changes in the atmosphere may
be learned from the sound which the
wind makes when passing through the
wires.
Thus a deep sound, he says, which is
of considerable or medium strength,
indicates that there will be slight
showers Of rain with moderate winds
within from 30 to 4s hours, and, on the
other hand, a sharp, shrill sound is the
sure token of a heavy storm. which
will be accompanied by much rain or

SPIDERS WITHOUT EYES.
Yet They Hunt Their Prey with Ae-
curaey in the subterranean
Depths.

A miner may be superstitious, but he
Is as plucky as man as breathes. One
creature, however, most of them shy
at the sight of. This is the great,
bloated, white spider, which rustles
along the walls of the shaft and dis
appears in some cleft in the rock. Nat
uralists for a long time would not
believe that these spiders were really
cave dwellers. They declared that they
were merely ordinary spiders that had
fallen or crept into the mines. But at
last one was brought to famous nat
uralist, and found by him to be abso-
lutely without eyes. This proved be-
yound doubt that for centuries the
creatures ancestors had lived beyond
the reach of sunlight.
A spider, even ST he does live in the
depths OF the earth, must eat, and
more recently his prey has been dis
covered. 1t Is sort of small beetle.
Another scorpion-like insect, called the
blothrus, also takes his blind way over
the rocks and stalks by sound and
touch he same prey. 1t is a wonder
full thing to watch one of these crea-
lures hunting beetle, and almost i'm
possible to realize its absolute blind
ness when one sees how perfectly its
movements correspond with those of
its intended victim.
