A German Astronomer Claims to
Have Discovered Them.
We seem to be getting on familiar
terms with neighboring worlds. With
Mars and its intricate system of ca
nails, If not its actual inhabitants,
thanks to the delicate investigations of
late years, everybody Is pretty we'll ac-
quainted. Now Herr Arendt, who Is a
German, and, therefore, not a triher,
announces the discovery of mountains
on Venus. To observers hitherto the
planet has seemed wrapped in an i'm
penetrable envelope of cloud, which,
when near the earth, is the cause of
its astonishing, brilliancyi; but Herr
! Arendt, who has, had the instruments
of the Urania observatory at Berlin
to work with, considers that he has
detected markings on Venus which in
dictate the presence of great eIeva-
tons, seen from time to time through
the clouds surrounding it. ID"
Novel as the suggestion is, it is but
a revival of an old idea. Long ago
Schroter fancied he saw evidence of
mountains on Venus in the raggedness
of the terminator-that is, the line
where light and shade meet, such as
the, inner line of the crescent moon;
He went so far as to, measure them.

WAYS OF WOMEN.

NO Limit to Tyranny Some Will Stand
from MiI1iners.
Inere does not seem to be a limit
to the tyranny which some women
will stand from miIliners, modistes,
Deaut1hers, and other autocrats of
that Xix. 1t is related of very
grande dame who had Just returned
from abroad to her New York home
that she visited her milliner in a day
or two wearing creation in headSear
for which she had paid a fabulous
sum in Paris. The milliner saw the
situation in a moment, and, being a
quick-witted person, resolved on in
slant action. Take off that hat and
never put it on again." she said i'm
periously to her visitor, woman
whose social power is almost without
limit. "Why do you say thatY" she
asked, with weakened attempt to
assert her dignity. Il met Mrs. Blank
this morning and she told ME this hat
was very becoming" Quick to seize
point, the milliner answered calm
ly: Just so. Mrs. Blank is no friend
Of yours and would gladly see you
wear that hat" This was an idea that
had not occurred to madam, but it
took root at once, just as the milliner
was sure it would. The upshot was
that the hat was left to be made over,
madam taking a new one home, and
the millner had still more firmly riv-
eted the chain which bound her
patron.
The professional beautifier is about
equally autocratic. For instance, a
noted complexion specialist who is
said to have made oyer" Mrs. Fred
erick Vanderbilt accompanied that
wealthy woman to Florida last winter
