tation who died recently was, like SO
many other geniuseS, strangely in

affairs. The small boy Of the family

the rest of the household. Now ii hap

this small boy lived two maiden aunts,
sisters of his mother. That they were

Their than usual the bounds Of proprie-
ty in addressing his relatives, his Aunt
Julia appeared before his father to
state the case. Her nephew had called
her n fool, while his Aunt Martha he
had characterized as a - fool. The
young offender vas summoned to the
paternal presence. Fixing him with
his eye the father demanded:

fool?"
Yes
Did you call your Aunt Martha a
- fool?"
Yes

The Duration of a Horses Affection.

The affections of horse are not in
ferior TO his intellectual qualities;
and, especially if made a pet, he be-
comes very fond of his master. In
case of separation, he remembers him
for years. But his affection is differ
ent from that of a dog, which con-
tinues to love his master even though
the latter abuses him greatly. Rough,
unkind treatment will quickly es
TRANCE the affection of a horse. Good
horse sense discovers no particular
reason why horse should be devoted
to a master who habitually maltreats
him.
The intellect and affections of horse
point out two things so important to
trainer that he must bear them in mind
until they become fixed habits of
thought:
Never. under any circumstances,
allow a horse TO successfully oppose his
will to yours. If you do, he will re-
member it and reasoning by expert
ence). try it again.
ALWAYS keep his affection. If he
disikes you, he has no wish to please
you: and. if his obedience is always
pcrfunctory, you will make but little
Roadway in training him.
These two points assured. he will al
most invariably try to do whatever
you require of him-if he only knows
what it is.-SuccesS.

FASHION AND THE FIGURE.
Is the Human Form Altered by Passing
Fads?
New York SUM-


There are perhaps not such frequent
changes of fashion in the matter of the
human form divine as in the modes Of
dressing it, but even the Victorian era
has seen considerable variations in the
idea of feminine beauty, says the Paris
Messenger Mr.. John Collier in a WISE
and witty lecture delivered the other
evening at the London Institution. dis
cussed these varying ideals. re reminded
US OF the familiar early Victorian lady.
who was quite unlike any human being
what the early Victorian wanted to look
like. If we take Dickens as representing
those days we find his young ladies were
usually small in stature. with black eyes
arch smiles and 50 forth.
Du Maurier introduced the opposite type
"a type also familiar in William Black
novels--the stately beauty. strong and
healthy. and not without some athleti..
rying ideals are not merely of theoretical
interest but have a practical bearing as
well. Every one tries to become like the
fashionable ideal. Certainly tall girls
seem to be far more common nowadays
than formerly. Can it be that the setting
of the fashion by the artist and the con-
scious emulation Of womankind have ac-
tually had some appreciable result, ana
that women have, indeed. by taking
thought added a cubit or so to their stat
ure?
Mr.. Collier tells US that the power Of
adaptability in the feminine form has al
ways struck him with wonder. and he
also mentions the perennial demand and
supply of the marriage market. 1t is
perhaps, truer and safer to say that while
the feminine types of short and tall
slight and stalwart, exist in fairly per
manent proportions. the particular type
in fashion commands the greatest atten-
ton and admiration, and consequently
seems most numerous ami predominant.
Mr.. Collier went on. however, to devel-
OPP the practical question. The type most
in fashion has naturally the best chance
in the marriage market. and it is there
fore greatly 10 the interest of the human
race that the fashionable type should be
that which is vigorous and robust rather
than that which is decadent and anaemic
and semi-hysterical; the Venus OF Milo
and the DI Maurier lady, rather thrn
the subtle and feshlsss ahs+ractions o.
the aesthetic school. Mr.. Golfers advice
to his brother artists therefore is: - o.
heavens sake let your ideal types be
healthy, whatever else they be-" If the
decadent artists ever succeeded in max
ing their monstrosities fashionable it
would go far to ruin England" We have
apparently no very pronounced ideal OF
beauty in our modern art. Let us hope
that our artists will evolve from the nu-
merous antecedent types at their dispose
one which will satisfy not only the cOndi-
| lions of art, but the important and ele-
mentary conditions of life.
