THE QUEST OF BEAUTY.
Making Up" Is Very Ancient Femi-
nine Art.

Making up" as applied to the APP
pearance, is by no means as modern
an art as many people imagine.
In the days of Roman supremacy
the women tinted their eyebrows with
black in emulation of "ox eyed Venus"
They painted their faces, sprinkled
themselves with perfume aud even
wore false hair or tinted their own
locks in accordance with the prevail
ing fashion
The Greek ladies of the same period
employed maids who rubbed out their
mistress wrinkles, decorated" her
face with red and white paint and
darkened her eyebrows. 1t was then
also the fashion to coat the face with
white of egg and goose grease to pro-
tect it from the sun and wind. 1t is
even said that they had a recipe for
turning blue eyes to black.
These fashions all had their origin
in Italy, where in later years the no
torious Lucrezia Borgia is said to have
dyed her hair different colors, accord
ing to her fancy of the moment.
In England in the eighteenth CEN
fury many women, among them Lady
Coventry, died from the effects of
rouge. So in all ages beauty at all
costs" was the motto Of smart" la
dies.-pearson's Weekly.

THE JUDGE AND THE VIRAG0
An Ancient Joke of Which There Arc
Many Modern Versions.

Many Modern Versions.
The following tale was translated
from a very old Chinese book for Col
lier's Weekly:
A certain magistrate upon opening
his court sobserved one Of his lictors
whose face was covered with wounds
and asked him what was the matter.
Replied the lictor. Yesterday evening
was reclining and enjoying the fresh
air under my grape arbor, which was
suddenly upset by a gust of wind and
fell on me and caused these injuries"
But the judge was skeptical and
said "That is too thin. 1t is easy to
see that the marks on your face IRE
from scratches from nails. 1t must be
that you have had row with your
wife and got clawing from her. Is
this not sop
The lictor crimsoned all over and re-
piled, "Your honor has truly guessed
it."
Then said the judge: "Why Is your
wife so fierce as this? Wait till sum-
mon her and give her a beating and
you your revenge"
While he was yet speaking the judges
own wife suddenly came out from the
house and fiercely said, "Who is this
you are going to beatY'
The magistrate hastily announced to
the lictors and ting chat tbs: This
court stands adjourned. Dispense in
stantly. 1t seems as though the courts
grape arbor is also about to collapsew

Men Crowdins Out Cattle.
One explanation advanced for the
continued rise in the price of meats is
that the big cattle ranges of the south
west have been rapidly filing up with
settlers in the last two years. with a
consequent clearing of the pastures for
cultivation. The prices for cattle on the
hoof are higher than ever. In all the
larger cities the poorer people have be-
gun systematic boycotts of the butch
ers who charge the high prices. The
result is that people are eating less
meat and more fruit and vegetables
than heretofore.
