STUDY OF CLEOPATRA.
Ancient Woman Possessed Quality Known
 as Charm.

as Snarm
 But though there is no beauty, there is granite, as one might say, in the face on those old coins. One of them that slipped from hand to hand two thousand years ago, that was dropped into a beggar'S palm, or offered to the priests in the temple, or flched from the precious pouch of murdered slave, or tossed to a dancing girl, or given to the embalmers for their grim and tragic work, that was paid out for honest bread or filthy lust, or gorgeous art-lies now on its velvet shelf in the British Museum, for us folk of this age of bicycles and trolley cars and women lectures and law and order to come, look at and wonder about and ask ourselves why Art, in view Of these lines worn down and down into the copper, insists upon representing Cleo patra as a beautiful woman? It would seem that it must be because of cer- tain quality which we know she pos zessed; a quality which either gives Us the idea of beauty or, what is more wonderful, makes us unconscious of its absence. Cleopatra had that vague, indefinable, tremendous thing called charm. But it would be hard to say just what constituted it; it certainly was independent of character; virtue was not essential to it; tenderness may or may not have accompanied it; cruelty belonged to it quite as much as sweetness; We are only sure that it's basis was intelligence Curiously enough, there cannot be charm with out intelli:~ >nce; although, alas, there can be intelligence without charm. Back of Cleopatra's charm lay aston ishing intellectual attainment; there were acu4a statesmanship, the mastery of many languages, the deepest scien- tific learning of her time, and good, cleaT, sound common sense in living and governing. But she had more than this; she had a knowledge of the hu- man heart which does not come from books, but from God-or the devil, as its application may decides-Margaret DelaEd, in Harper's Bazar.

THUM B. AL 8.
Length or Flatness Helps Palmist to
 Read Character.

According to European palmist the average length of the thumb nail is, in the case of a man, 165 millimetres and those men whose nails are longer than this always possess unusual viril ity. Women, on the other hand, whose thumb nails are of abnormal length are as rule very fond of pleasure and have pronounced artistic tastes Emperor William of Germany, says this palmist, has a very delicate hand yet the thumb is too short and the nail is fiat and colorless-a sure indicati tion in his opinion, of some cerebral weak. ness. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hand, has a thumb nail which in- dicates high birth and aristocratic tastes. It is pearly white and unusual ly curved, and is in marked contrast 10 his hand. which is coarse and rather vulgar. The new King of Italy has a spatulate thumb nail. which is said to be an indication Of distrust and feroc- ity. The Sultan of Turkeys band is white and slender and bears tokens of high breeding King Leopold of Bel eium has the thumb of piebeian. the nail being shot and square Queen Victoria differs fson all other rulers in the fact that the thumbs of her two hands are quite unlike each other. This is said to be aa anfailing indiea- ton Of shreWdRess and also of long life. The young Queen of Holland has a strong but rather commonplace hand the nails being short and of a vulgar type. but. on the other hand, the Queen of Italy has an admirable hand the only marked defect being in the nails of the little fingers, which are some what too conical and too much curved st tha ends.

who took part personally in many mas
sacres and whose head was demanded
by the ministers, was executed at Tai
Yuenfu May "a. Two other officers were.
beheaded at the same time.
Yu Hsien, who was the most notori-
GUS of all the anti-foreign Chinese Of
ficers. has been killed and resuscitate6D
at least half a dozen times. He person
ally took part in the butchery OF mis-
sionaries and. converts in the province
of which he was governor at the. time
OF the Boxer uprising. The ministers
insisted upon his execution, but the
dowager empress refused at first to or
der it. The next report was that he had
been beheaded. Then again 1t was
stated that he had been allowed to
commit suicide. On Feb. % it was de-
MED that he had killed himself and the
statement that he had been decapitated
was repeated. At the beginning of
April a Chinaman who arrived at Pc
kin from Shansi reported that Yu Hsien
had not been killed and was still NOV
ing around the province.
The strong tendency toward reform
has been manifested recently by the ac-
lions of various viceroys. 1t is the in
tention of Viceroys Liu Kun vi and.
Chang Chih Tung to wait until the
court starts to return to Pekin before
presenting memorials in favor of re-
form. The reason for this is that these
two viceroys are afraid that if they pre-
scented their suggestions before that
time the reactionaries who surround
the court might subvert their influence.

ROOT WILL BE SUPREME.
Civil Government of the Philippf ncs
Will Be Under the Secretary OF

Will ASS Ohuer the secretary OF
War.
Washington, June s. = The new civil
government to be established in the
Philippines is receiving the considera-
ton of the president and the secretary
of war. 1t will differ very little from
what was first intended, as there will
be governor for the archipelago and
legislative council and other officers.
This government will have control Of
all civil affairs, but it will be under the
war power to the extent of being d.
rected by the secretary Of war. There
Will be nice distinction as to the au-
thority of the general commanding the
troops in the Philippines and the gov
ernor to be appointed under the civil
government. No official declaration has
been made as to which will be the SUI
preme authority, but it Is known that
the secretary Of war will be supreme
While it is not the intention to conduct
the government Of the Philippines un-
der the Spooner law, that law will be
taken as sanctioning what is to be
done. The new government will be
similar to that which existed for a,
short time in the early days of New
Mexico. There was aaciyil. governor
appointed by the president and COM
handing general of the army. Both had
their functions in preserving the peace
and controlling the affairs of the terri
tory.

Doctor Nagusha, the Japanese bac-
teriologist, has made formal Dropo-
sition that all civilized nations unite
in an organized effort to rid the world
OF rats. His own government, he de-
clares, stands ready to bear it's part,
and the suggestion has called forth a
remarkably unanimous verdict of ap-
prevail from the doctors of many lands.
Ways and means have not yet been
formulated. and it is in that direction,
Of course, that the greatest difficulty
lies. Whether or not rats can be ex-
terminated, or anywhere near exter-
minated, is a question yet to be de-
termined. But in any event their
numbers can be enormously reduced;
and the certainty with which the
spread Of the bubonic plague in India
and in Hawaii has been traced to rats
makes even reduction in numbers
worth the effort 1t requires.

and the necessity for guarding against

but it is said to be under better control
now. Despite some reports to the con-

A dearth of violets may not sound
alarming to those who are not aware
OF the great Importance of this flower
In perfumery. At present great dis
tress prevails all along the Riviera,
and especially at Nice owing to the
failure Of the violet harvest. The ex-
cepttonally cold spring and the bit
ter winds have destroyed the blooms,
and the peasantry are in such a pitt
full condition that public appeal has
been made to assist them until the
young pants can be bedded out. The
orange flower crop has also been very
bad. The marked change in the eli
mate of Nice is said to be due to the
frequent fires which have destroyed
the forests in the Estereals, and it is
now proposed to replant them, and to
pass a vigorous law for their better
preservation.

Some weeks ago, however, he came un-
der police surveillance, and to escape
their undesirable attentions, he deter
mined to set fire to his hut with a
view Of giving rise to the idea that he
had persisted in the flames. Unfor-
tunately for the success of this device,
he was recognized at the West Sta

took him to the police station. On
the way the holy man amused himself
by throwing money at the crowd, but,
