Extremes meet in the tickle feminine
fancy. The attractiveness of the
Adonis for women is not to be com
pared with that of the man who is so
fearfully and wonderfully ugly as to
serve as a living confirmation of tine
truth of the Darwinian theory regard
ing the descent of man.
A bevy of lovely American girls
have formed a society, the object of
which is to search the land for the ug-
lest men to be found outside a mu-
scum, and, when found, to marry them
as soon as possible.
Ever since the time when Mirabeau,
the ugliest of all Frenchmen, had his
host of female admirers really hideous
men have been worship by women.
This extraordinary fondness of
women for extremely ugly men is seen
when some especially villainous look
ing criminal. accused of a particularly
atrocious crime, is exhibited in the
dock and Immediately becomes the
idol Of all the women who attend the
trial. The more hideous his appearance
and the fouler his misdeeds the more
enthusiastic is the worship of the
women.
He is SO delightfully."- ugly" said a
pretty girl, when asked what partic-
ular fascination brutal criminal pos
sessed for her
1t is fact that in all ages and coun-
tries this strange feminine tendency
has been strikingly demonstrated.
No explanation that seems plausible
has ever been given.

During the summer months the Dig
ger and Piute Indians may be seen at
their camps near Indian Canyon, 1o-
semitic Valley, the men engaged in rails
ing and selling ponies, and the women
at basket weaving or beadwork. In
autumn, when the acorns ripen, they
are eagerly gathered by the red men,
who regard them as a great delicacy.
The squaws grind the meat Of the
nuts in stone mortars, converting 1t
into a sort of -four which, perhaps,
would be unpalatable to American
tastes, but to the Indian 1t tastes quite
as good as our best roller -four.
The visitor to the far-famed valley
occasionally runs across a group Of
acorn store-houses or granaries, like
the ones shown in the illustration.
Their construction is most interesting
and ingenious. At a little distance
they have a grotesque appearance, re-
sembling somewhat some gigantic fig

baskets supported by section of tree

Are we sure, by the way, that fnau-

and Rome, and are to be seen in muse

gest close and not too credulous atten-

sort; and they look just like our bank-
ers. There is nothing new under the
sun of finance except the scale of the
propositions; the financiers and their
ways are eternally the same. Baron
Shibusawa is an excellent type of the
kind. His numerous suite, however,

STRANGE STORIES cARNERED FROM
DIVERSE SOURCES.

Unusual Requirements For Matrimony.
The marriageable girl in Tunis has
a trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal to the man not Of her choice
but whose choice she is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before
the ceremony can take place.
AS soon as the betrothal takes place
she is taken to a room and there
cooped up till the fattening process is
concluded. Silver shackles are fas-
tened round her wrists and ankles, and
the task of her parents and future
husband is to increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles fill up the shackles
If the husband is a widower, or has
discharged" his first wife. the girl has
the shackles Of the first spouse placed
on her and must fill them out.
1t takes long time to do this, as a
rule, and sometimes 1t cannot be ac-
complished in spite of all efforts. 1t
is then open to the future husband to
cry off the bargain or waive the condi-
tion. In the case of a bachelor he
takes care to see that the bracelets
and ankles are not too large-that is,
if he is fond of the girl-but if he is
being forced into the marriage by his
parents, he is great stickler for GUS
tom. Stout girls are the more quickly
snapped up in Tunis. Pictorial Maya

Moors Indifferent to Lie.

OF all the Oriental races there are
none more callous and Indifferent to
human life than the Moors. A trav-
eler who has recently returned from
Morocco related the following anecdote
in proof of this fact The grandfather
Of the present Sultan was one day boat
ing on the lake in the gardens Of the
palace, the boat, by the way, being a
small steam launch given him by
Queen Victoria. BY some accident the
boat capsized, and the Sultan and two
Of his wives, by whom he was accom-
panied. We're thrown into the water. A
soldier on guard in a part of the palace
out of view heard the cries, and run
ming up, sprang into the water and
rescued the Sultan's favorite wife. the
ruler himself scrambling out unaided.
Later in the day the soldier was sent
for and presented himself joyfully be-
fore his monarch, convinced that his re-
ward would be great. You are the
soldier who rescued the delight Of my
eyesT quoth the Sultan. The soldier
bowed Did you dare to look at her?"
Il did. your highness," replied the sol
der. taken off his guard The Sultan
turned to an officer, murmured a few
words, and a moment later the soldier
was on his way to the headsman. That
Was his reward!-Femily Herald.

One Woman Secured Good Eject with

One woman whose single large room
serves as sitting room as well as sleep
ing room, has made an extremely good
effect without this possession of pic
lures. What bric-a-brac she allows to
appear in her room has a definite rea-
son for being. She chooses each piece
for its color or shape. which adds
much to the appearance of the room.
Starting with a nondescript and char
acterless graylsh wallpaper. she has
followed the necessity for using warm
tones, and has made a great success
with small expense. Her cot bed has
valance of dull red denim, the cover
being a Turkish striped curtain, and
one long window being curtained with
two more to match. Three fiat-top
trunks made delightful window seat
under a high mullioned window. the
nature Of the seat being concealed by
red denim covers and warm colored
sofa pillows, and the same plan of
extra bed coverings and shawls being

with a bit OF umber holds enough
books to make the room very cozy, and
quantities OF pictures ill in the wall
spaces. A few portraits and rather
large pictures were already IN this
young woman's possession when she
started out to make a one-room home
for herself From the beautifully
printed magazines Of the day she chose
prints in black and colors. and framed
these IN passe-partout. The colors Of
the bindings were chosen to suit the
tones of the pictures.
