THE AFTERNOON NEWSPAPERS.

Louisville POST.
The afternoon newspaper is the
paper the people read. 1t goes to
J the home to be read around the
J, fireside by every member of the
family.
Each season marks the growth
of the afternoon newspaper. In
Louisville, as in Cincinnati, H.
dianapolis, Columbus, Chicago,
st Louis and Nashville, the after
noon newspapers have the cir
culation and the advertising, and
spend the money.
This is especially true at st.
Louis and Indianapolis, where the
local advertisers have simply
taken possession of the afternoon
newspapers, which, not once a
week, but two or three times a
week, a. pear with seventy five,
eighty five, min. ty or one hundred
columns of advertising.
This is in accordance with the
laws of commercial development.
The man of business, with 4 great
Giant and large stock, cannot
afford to have dull days any more
than he can afford to have dull
seasons. He must make each day
count, and he must push his bust
ness if ne does not wish to have
hi business push him. So to get
in touch with the buying public,
to le, the shoppers of the city aud
state know what be has for sale,
he must more and more use the
columns of the afternoon news
papers. Thus it is that not here
alone. but all over the country, the [
afternoon newspaper goes for I

ton stands still or goes back. 4

T. P. Lukens of Pasadena. 1t
49, was brought from Corea sew
eral years ago by the captain of trad
ing vessel, who secured 1t from the ma
tive owner with considerable difficulty
and expense, says the Los Angeles Times
The history of the chair Is unique
Twenty years before the captains arrival
the ingenious native selected a fertile
spot of ground near the cocoanut shack
which he called home and here he planted
the seed of a gingko tree, which, copi-
ously encouraged by sunshine, rain and
cultivation, sent forth thrifty life, but
in this case nature was doomed to I'M
dergo q course of discipline, for, with the
same assiduity that he bound and COM
pressed his baby daughters feet, the am
bilious Oriental twisted and trained and
tied each new sprout of the young tree.
For twenty long years he proved faithful
to the task, never missing day, always
watching and studying for effect. Much
pruning was necessary in order to make
the lower branches develop In size and
strength The chair was carefully formed
by tying the young and pliable branches
together with strong fiber ropes, and as
the tree expanded the ropes held firm.
even though the wood bulged all about
them in knotty deformity.
When Capt. Anderson discovered this
remarkable chair the native, who had 7
grown old during the time he had
worked so patiently and persistently, was
out In the broiling sun cutting the chair
loose from the earth, for at last 1t had
finished it's growth and was ready to
adorn the interior of the shack. In all
his wanderings over land and sea the
captain had never before caught a man
In the act Of harvesting chairs, and his
attention was Immediately attracted. Aft
er much dickering and persuasion he sin-
duced the native to part with his re-
markable specimen of garden furniture,
so it was carried aboard ship and brought
to America.
The chair weighs over one hundred
pounds, and Is even harder, sturdier and
more imperishable than oak. 1t Is three
feet four inches In hight and twenty-five
inches In width, and some Of the knots
that formed between the binding ropes
are twenty-one inches In circumfer-
ence. The bark has been removed
and the surface, which Is golden
brown in color, has taken a fine
polish, and in spits of its look Of lumpy

1 HlLE every one IS likely TO
~ vi have some very strong opin-
HAM/t ions on what constitutes
beautiful face or figure, yet
the majority Of them are
le-A--- quite untrustworthy, and
/ Correct Judgment is rarity. There are
!. many definite rules governing the pro-
I portions of the face the length OF the
features and the proportion.
3 From the classic statues Of the ancient
Greeks has been ascertaired the exact
/ relation of dimensions which the various
! parts OF the body should bear toward one
I another in the perfect face and figure.
The hight Of man should approximate
seven and half times the length Of his
head and that OF woman seven times.
This standard obtains in the United
States, as we'll as in France, England,
Germany and Italy. The yellow and
negro races have an average hight vary
Ing from six and half to seven heads.
4 IN some of the Greek statues the proper
ton is trife over seven heads. Accord
ing to this proportion man six feet In
! hight should have head measuring about
! eight and half inches.
Few persons will agree as to what pro-
| portions constitute perfect head, yet the
I rules governing these proportions are
z very simple and may readily be tested. A
I perfect head should fall within a perfect
/ square. To test this proportion take the
/ exact profile Of any head and draw a
| square about 1t.
E If the top Of the head just touches the
I top of the square and the chin the bot
/ tom, while the back Of the head and the
tip of the nose respectively reach the
other side, you may depend upon it that
the proportions at least are practically
Perfect For men the square thus drawn
Eshould measure exactly nine inches. while
for women the square should be eight and
d half inches.
f. Every feature should bear certain pro-
kportion to every other feature in perfect
lface Simplicity marks these proportions
and with practice one is soon enabled at
q glance to tell whether the various
measurements fall in the proper proper
tion.
Note for instance. the relation between
the width of the eyes and the width OF
the face. And this proportion is ex-
trenely important, since one often forms
a Serious opinion of person by the size
! and proportion Of the eyes, their distance
! apart aad their relation to the width of
! the face. In the perfect face the width
should be equal to the space of five eyes.
/ : "A face Is often condemned because the
| eyes are said to be too close together.

The length of the hand and wrist and
hand, taken together, should be equal ex-
actly to the length of the face. If there
be any discrepancy, either hand or face,
or both, are badly proportioned. This may
be readily tested By holding the hand be-
SIDE the face while standing before a mir
ror.
Next comes the hand.
The length Of the index finger should be
exactly one-half the length of the hand.
TIL, two small joints of the index finger
should be one-fourth the length Of the
hand. This measurement should be ex-
actly the same as the large joint. The

"a mirror win readily tell one whether he
has the correct proportions of the arms,
hands and feet. Extend the arm straight
out from the side, then slowly bend the
forearm back until the fingers touch the
chin, keeping the arm in the meantime
perfectly horizontal.
Then the distance from the tip Of the
middle finger to the bend in the elbow
should measure exactly the same as from
the elbow to the middle Of the neck. If
arm IS correctly proportional. therefore.
the tip Of the longest finger will just
reach to the middle of the chin, no more
nor less, by fraction Of an inch.
