costly. but thorough. Similar results. the

Beauty's Varieties.

The French say there are several
cages" as well as kinds of beauty-the
beauty of mere youthfulness, which
they call la beaute du diable; also
beauty of "ugliness," of 'old age" and
Of ''thinness," called la beaute du SINCE.
Frederick Bremen, the Swedish novel
list, had the beauty of ''plainness." She
was so very plain of face that her ex-
preston of trustfulness, as though ap-
pealing to you to find some other quail
ties in her than mere looks" shone out
with a perfect radiance that ennobled
her face and drew friends to her, be-
cause she had no other beauty. But
Miss Bremen took pleasure in her well
kept hands, of which she used to say,
Even hands have their moments of
charm"

Bells and Thunderstorms.

An instance of the absurdity of some
Of the notions held by our ancestors
was the notion that the ringing Of the
church bells had a .counteracting effect
in a thunderstorm, 1t was supposed
that the vibration of the air caused by
the movement of the bells resulted in
the dissipation of the electric fluid in
the air. The belief was so common at
one time that the bells were rung as
soon as signs of an approaching thun-
derstorm were seen. Science now holds
a contrary opinion. Not only does the
sound have no possible effect on the
air, but the vibration caused by the
sound of bell upon a cloud charged
with electricity may cause it to dis
charge its contents upon the ringer of
the bell In the church tower.

Situated on river which hears more

pressive of the progress of a race whose

est of cities, joined by a hyphen and
five bridges to Buda, one of the oldest
of capitals. Here there need be no
strife, between the sentiment that
would pfesecxe aRzsencient building
and the enterprise Would put some

much the same way that one may have
