Greatest Flirt In the World.

The American girl is a firt, the
French woman dirt, but their ways
and charms are uninteresting when
contrasted with those of the Magyar
girl, who is the greatest firt in the
world. This is natural, ''for in Hun.
gary, song and laughter, dance and
music are so exuberant, women are
go Iovable and love-making so spon-
taneous, that wooing and wedding
tffsr themselves as alluring themes"
says the Chicago Tribune. Naturally
bright and vivacious, these clever
girls find philosophy and the exact
sciences a bore, but poetry, music
and song, with their wild emotions
and alluring fsncies, appeal to their
giriish hearts.
Their own peculiar beauty is in
keeping with the form, color and
rhythm they love. VIVA. strikes one
is the extreme freshness, delicacy and
purity of their coloring. Their wavy
hair, as among all women of this
Hungarian race, is superb, and their
large, deep eyes are shaded with long
lssbee, suggesting reverie aud feel
ing that Graves for admiration and
love.
Satisfied with the strong physique,
manly bearing and frank way of their
men, they are content to fnd their
suieors at home: The Magyar men
are as anxious to WOO them as they
are to be wooed. There is something
so winning in their coquettish glances
and facinatipg smiles; the men are
80 mably, debonair and easy, it is
hard for either sex to resist.
With them love and courtship
| mean so much it must be given all
it's color, and a wooipg is often, there
fore, a long doing. They have end
less opportunities of meeting each
| other-vlsiting the markets, working
in the fields and passing each other
! while out for stroll. The youths
feel that the scarda, or inr, Is the
best place to see the girls they would
! admire. The scards is club where
on Sundays and holidays old ard
young come to dance and make
merry. Music of the gayest sort Is
heard, the pictures que costumes OF
! both men and girls give additional
life to the scene.
The czardas. their favorite dance,
| gives them plenty of opportunity to
reveal their gayety, ease and grace.
It ia really pantomime and de-
ecribes the course of true love. The
music and dancing are al first slow;
the couples walk up and down in Il
stately manner. Then feiguing to
have made each others acquaintance
| and fallen victims to their tender
feelings, the music grows lively and
the courtship begins in earnest. The
lover approaches his fair maiden, and
she coyly responds, and they spin
around together for few minutee,
when, as If she were allowing him
too many privileges. the maiden re-
tires poutine, whereupon he again
approaches. Gbis time she turns
her back on him in a most f,rtatious
way and they dance etf in contrary
dire ections.

The Charge Against John Hyde.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Permit me to suggest that your corre-
spcndent in yesterdays Star, in his eager
ness to assail the reputation of John Hyde
iete statistician of the Department of Agri-
culture, was singularly disingenuous.
If he is as familiar with surveying as his
exordium would indicate. he should know
that a half survey is no survey at all, and
also that half truth Is the worst kind OF
a lie.
Now mark how plain tale shall put
him down.
whelmingly d.mocratic and of course its
committee on the eleventh census" was of
the same complexion and therefore not
prone to pay compliments to men of differ
ent political faith. This committee, on the
representations of various discharged
employees of the census (of which your cor
respondent of yesterday was one), appoint
ed a subcommittee composed of Representa-
tives Fithian, Bentley, Bynum, j. ID. Tay-
Tor and Huff to investigate the eleventh
census and the charges against 1t. This
subcommittee met on May H. 1872, and be-
gan its inquiries. After hearing testimony
II ON various persons (of which number the
author of yesterdays communication was
the chief, enough to fill a pamphlet of $50
pages Oh r. report 1888, Ftfty-second Con-
gress, first SESSION., including certificates
of the good moral character Of ]. Praise
Richard filed by himself, made their report
to the full committee, which by vote of
March 3. 1893 III. r. report 2617. Fifty sec
ond Congress- second session., as follows
THE committee are therefore of the Opin-
ion that the charges have not been sus-
tanned"
In all the $50 pages of testimony heard
by the committee, covering many different
branches of the work of the census there
Is not a scintilla of evidence that Mr.. Hyde
was guilty of wrongdoing, the information
gwen to the Irrigation Age in the most
open manner not being of confidential
character.
l also was a clerk In the agricultural d.
vision of the eleventh census and was cog
INFANT of the matter referred to. l have a
perfectly clear recollection of the circum-
stances and assert that the findings of the
committee, which the committee itself
would have been only too glad to have had
otherwise If there had been any 1ustifica-
ton for It, were strictly in accordance with
the facts in the case as known to the en-
ployes OF the agricultural division.
This is not intended as a defense of John
Hyde: he needs none. His record as q
statistician speaks for itself. and as to his
honesty and efficiency 1t is only necessary
to point to the testimony of the very
parties who have been instrumental In
bringing about the investigation OF the cot
ton leak. But l do protest against the
malicious reyamping of charges that have
been disposed of and thoroughly discredited
by the highest authority In the land They
should never have been born, but since
they were born and lived but a minute let
them rest in peace when dead.
