the extreme. No more OF your round
bullet heads, enelrcled with regular

precise proportions and definite out

mode. Instead, the hair is bundled,
rolled, twisted and looped with the
appearance Of carelessness and indefi-
mite intention, high drawn here,
dropping there, now sweeping In a
smooth, long fiat stretch Of shining
lock, then breaking into a witching
tendril or fascinating curl. The iron
crumples up this little spot, or bit
of brilliantine smooths out that, after
the couture is almost completed, as

News Refore the TeIeeranh.

Before the advent of the telegraph
news Travelled slowly, and in times of
war reports of victory or defeat were
anxiously awaited and were at times
long delayed. One writer, relating
his own experience, tells us of the ex-
hilarating scene in Glasgow when the
mail coach arrived bearing the news
of some great victory, such as the
Battle of the Nile or the Battle Of
Waterloo.
"On such occasions" he says, "the
horses were decorated with laurels
and red flag floated from the roof Of
the coach. The guard, dressed in
scarlet, sounded his horn as they gall
Hoped through the echoing streets.
Along Gallowgate they went with an
ever increasing crowd till at the foot
of Nelson street the coach pulled up,
the guard discharged his blunderbuss
into the air and communicated the
news, which spread like wildflre. -

Miss Curtis Views.

Miss Eleanor Curtis ("Marguerite
Blanc"), in her clever little sketch OF
"The Graceful Art" declares for the
theory that the foundation of the
modern ballet is Greek art. The first
masters Of modern dancing argued
that what is satisfyingly beautiful In
marble must be doubly so In flesh and
blood and set to music; so they stud
fed old vases and statues, choosing
one pose from a statue, linking 1t to
the next with gestures and steps from
a frieze; another pose, more frieze;
the idea is that Of q goldsmith maxi
ing a chain of alternate links and a
gem. Dainty as lacework OF filagree,
these entire chats (crossing the feet
In the air on a leap), or the flight
known as "jstay" (turns and atti-
tude). This was the origin of the
sort Of classic dancing that has van
lshed with Genee for a period. AT
the end of the phrase the dancer
alights In a pose from a classic draw
Ing which must be meant to strike the
mind of her audience as the gem in
the chain does the eye." Some of
these mesdemoiselles of the ballet
have been cultivated and bralny
enough to have written magazine ar
ticles on the art and history of the
ballet and some have made text books
for beginners of their profession.
Fanny Ellsler's journal shows that
she has had very cool, keen head
and a perfectly balanced judgment
of character which she exercised
without mercy on the great person
ages of Boston who crowded about
her. Speaking of Taglioni whom
Justin Mccarthy pronounced the
greatest of dancers" Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, who is certainly a judge
on that point, testifies to the intellec-
tuality of her art. Mrs. Howe long
ago suggested that the "best stage
dancing gives us the classic in a
fluent form with the illumination of
life and personality" II cannot re-
call in the dances which saw in the
Taglioni season anything which APP
peared to US sensual or even sem
suous, rather the very ecstasy and
embodiment of grace" This is what
she says she said to Theodore Parker,
and 1t is as good as that threadbare
story of what Margaret Fuller said
to Emerson and what Emerson re-
piled and good deal more authentic.

Memoirs" in Paris, and Anatole
France has written preface for
them as exquisitely as If written for

Madrid,s Trying Climates.

Queen Victorias complaint against
the terrible summer heat and equally
trying winter cold of Madrid, the
Spanish capital, precipitates the ques-
tion of the advisability of moving the
government to Barcelona. Madrid
is situated unfavorably from almost
any standpoint. The surrounding
plateau is treeless, exposing the city
to the scorching south winds in sum-
mer and the frigld breezes that de-
scend from the snow-covered Sierra
Guadrarama in winter. In contrast
with this uncomfortable situation
-Barcelona's equable climate, due in
large part to her position on the Med
iterranean, appeals strongly to the
Spanish lover of ease. Barcelona has
long been the commercial centre ~

Icemakine by Hand.

Consul Albert Halsted, of Birming-
ham, states that the invention of a
new British icemaking machine is re-
ported which works on the principle
that water will freeze when evaporat-

powerful absorbent, such as sulphuric
acid. It is said that the machine can
be worked by hand and will turn out
carafes of iced water at the rate of
one in three minutes and block of ice
weighing about one pound in twenty
minutes. The apparatus, consisting
one In three minutes and blocks of ice
mold, are rocked by means Of hand

create the vacuum. This apparatus
is made at Reading, England.-Con-

AS the conductor passed through the
car the old man stopped him and
asked how far it was from st. Paul

came along the old man stopped him
again and asked him how far it was

ously, ats 1920 miles from st. Paul

The Limit Of Meanness

was by trade, that lived in a two-fam-
lily house with two sets of improve

and also had the fear that he was
burning two much coal. So 4.
Well, the tinsmith put up roar that
they were cold on their floor. And
the landlord took him down cellar
and showed him that there was a
good fire, and that the f1ue-dampers
were turned so that the tinsmith
got all the hot air there was. And
then the landlord let his tenant go
ahead of him while he turned the gas
out, and didn't that suspicious tim
smith look behind him and see the
landlord quietly and unostentatiously
shut the fue-dampers off again? 1t
just shows how narrow and selfish a
tenant can be.
But wait. That isn't the limit of
his meanness. The next Sunday
morning while the landlord and HIS
family were at church (where he
ought to have been), the tenant went
down into the cellar and took the
fues apart and took out the fue-
hampers SO that the landlord could
turn the handles all he liked, and not
shut off the heat mite. Was that
the right way for tenant to act, /

Sunday? I think 1t was unconstitu-

SOME NOVEL COMPETITIONS.
Hunting Gold Nugget in Sand at Sid

Hunting Gold Nugget in Sand at Sid
ney-PTawning Contests.
Notwithstanding their natural
charms and attractions seaside and
other holiday resorts would not afford
the enjoyment they do If 1t were not
for the extremely interesting, inge-
NOUS and popular competitions which
are occasionally arranged.
A novel prawning competition took
place the other day at Birling Gap,
near Beachy Head. 1t was believed
to be the first ever arranged, and it
afforded three and half hours en-
joyment for the contestants. The
first honors went to team hailing
from Eastbourne with an average
catch to man of nine ounces.
The prize for the highest individual
catch was awarded j. Bernard, who
out-distanced all competitors with
seventeen ounces. The competition
was voted great success and will
doubtless be repeated.
Last season at Sydney, N. S. W.,
an exceedingly popular competition
was organized by the proprietors of a
Wonderful City" A gold nugget
valued at 500 was buried in the sand
and at a given signal literally thou.
sands of men, women and children
were admitted to the treasure grounds
They at once started digging franti-
cally with spades and shovels with
which they had come provided, AS
they dug and dug the excitement be-
came intense, and as might be sup
posed the onlookers numbered thou
sands. But, alas! nobody had the
good fortune to unearth the nugget
so its value was presented to chart
ties.
Last August sack and other races
were held on the sands at Filey, Sc
lect Yorkshire watering place. Among
the competitors were the sons of some
of the ruling chiefs of native States
of India. In sack race for boys un'
der the age of twelve years the com
petitors included the heir to the Sui
tanate of Johore, Prince Abu Bakil
and Prince Ahmed. The latter was
successful in carrying off the second
prize.--London Tit-Bits.

and that very afternoon Toggles put
some wire netting around the tree
GRANDPA had showed him howl so
that Penelope could not climb 1t. Not
of course that he suspected Penelope
of having taken the egg, but there
were several dreadful thing that Pen
elope had done; she was, in fact, the
one incorrigible lawbreaker OF the
City of Refuge, and Toggles did not
want to take any chances OF another
accident.
The whole family, even grandma,
climbed to the hay NOW to look at
that tiny nest, and Toggles went there
every day, and sometimes oftener.
For the first three days there was
no change, but on the fourth he
rushed into the house, shouting:
ats broken the shell, it's broken
the shell. The beaker's got a baby"
And that day they all climbed to
the hay NOW to look at the wee,
featherless mite that lay squirming
In the bottom of the nest.
It was almost three weeks before
the baby was old enough to fly away,
but at last he did, and that same af-
ternoon, while Toggles was in the
orchard, along came the father "beak-
err" and few right at him, just as on
that first day.
@And I didn't mind it, them" said
Toggles, when he told grandpa about
it, because then he didn't know me;
but this time-why, I'd known him,
and been friends to him, and I'd
I'd helped him bring up his baby"
"That's true" answered grandpa
"but l suppose he didn't understand
That's one of the things we have to
learn as we get older, to be kind, just
the same, to people who never say
Thank YOU and who seem not even
to know that we've been kind"
"And 1 suppose" added Toggles
"that you just have to be happy about
it, because you know that anyway II
was the right thing to do"
"That's the way of it," said grand
pa.-Sunday-School Times.

Score One For His Honor.

Rocklands municipal judge figured
as the hero in a balky horse episode
the other day. The horse had just
been driven in from the country, and
was manifestly tired of drawing the
heavy load to which it was attached.
The owner tried all the methods Of
persuasion peculiar to such cases, and
was giving IL up in disgust, when
Judge Campbell joined the advisory
board which was surrounding the
stubborn equine. Cajolery and
threats had no effect on the horse,
and none of the schemes which the
crowd offered seemed to have a prac-
tical flavor. Now note the resource
fulness of his Honor. SEEKING hose
which was near at hand, he turned
the stream onto the obdurate AMI
malls tanks. The horse gave one
gasp of establishment, and then start
ed up the street, amid the plaudits
of the crowd.-Kennebec Journal.

ITALWs SUBMARINES.

The eIauco, NarVaIo, squaIo and
otaria Manoeuvre.
A very interesting performance was
that of the fiotilla of Italian suDmar-
ines-the Glauco, Narvalo, Squalo ana
Otaria-which at the beginning oil the
naval manoeuvres, now proceeding,
went the whole distance from venice
to Spezia-some 1900 miles-the long
est run as yet made by any OF these
crafts-witR their own means, and un-
aided These boats are only l60 tohs'
and their length 100 feet; they are
therefore, somewhat smaller than the
similar British craft. The Otarla is
fitted with Thornycroft petrol motors,
the others with Fiat motors OF SOO
horsepower. They can all attain
speed of fourteen knots aboveand sew
knots below water. An interesting
feature in these boats is the position
of the torpedo tubes-two-beloW the
prov; also a false keel of lead weigh
ing twelve tons, which may be easily
detached from the inside in case OF
emergency. The excellent performance
of these boats on their long journey
has again called the attention OF ltal-
ian naval circles to this kind of craft,
and to their possibilities, especially for
coast defence and in narrow land
locked sea like the Mediterranean, and
the expansion of the naval program In
this direction is expected. While
France has at present about 100 OF
such crafts, Great Britain between fifty
and sixty, Russia 32, the United States
Is, Germany four, with a large pro-
gram involving an expenditure OF To-
600 900 marks-and even Austria six
under onstruction-Italy, except the
four above mentioned, has only an old
vessel, the Delfno. Another boat, the
Tricheco, has been under construction
at Venice for over two years. or the
naval program of 1905, which included
seven of such craft, larger and faster,
only the Foca has been laid down.
She is being built at the yard OF the
Fiat Muggiano, Spezia, and will be
launched about the end of the month.

The Truth About serpents.

1t has been discovered that our
snake sense increases with snake
knowledge. AS a matter of fact, the
creatures do not sting with their
tongues, nor do they charm birds or
people. They do not chase and at
tack persons without provocation, for
the reason that they do not seek man
as food and have absolutely no use
for him in any way except that Of
asking to be let alone. OF course
snakes have been known to attack
innocent persons, but even then it is
said that fear of the aggressor makes
the reptile take the defensive.
