ASKING TOO MUCH-A Reader, City.
The question what country can claim the
best-looking and best-shaped woman
is one that no one can answer, for the
reason that beauty of face and SYM
metry Of shape are matters of individual
opinion and as diversified as there are
individuals What is beautiful to one Is
not to another. The matter Of female
| beauty is best explained by the expression
of a Frenchman to the effect that every
woman is beautiful in the eyes of the
man who loves her.

of the place had undertaken to make the
finest church bell he had ever made
When the metal was melted the founder
withdrew for few moments, leaving a
boy to watch the furnace and eniofnino
him not to meddle with the catch thar
: held the molten metal, but the boy dis
obeyed the caution, and when he saVv
: the metal flowing into the mold he called
7 the founder. The latter rushed in and
seeing as he thought his work of weeks
3 undone and his masterpiece ruined. struck
2 the boy a blow that caused his Immediate
3 death When the metal cooled and tbe
mold was opened the bell was found r.
be not only perfect, but of marvellous
=. sweetness of tone. The founder gave
himself up to the authorities, was tried
/; and condemned to DEATH On the dav ot
] his execution the bell was rung to cal
) people to attend church and offer .
. prayer for the unhappy mans soul. and
