bottom of the door to fit between
them. The arched shape of the hoop
will give sufficient friction between
the door and floor to hold the door in

some soft material such as carpet and

The Beauty Corner.

WOmanly beauty is about as rare as
birds with four legs, according to an
Italian of wealth and title, who has
just published some interesting statis-
tics in La Roma. According to this
Italian statistician, among the French
only one woman I'm every $500 has
any claim to beauty; his own race
Yields a possible one in every 1900;
Spanish women of beauty come in the
same proportion. The German wo-
men he refuses to consider beautiful
at all England, he says, has the
greatest number OF beauties of any
one nation of unmixed blood, the per-
centage being one I'm every 1900.
The conservative Italian critic re-
fuses TO consider Americans as
race. because. he says. they are too
polyglot. Considering the-nne city OF
New York, however, he finds there
more beauties than in any foreign
city-about one i'm every 1900. And
by beauties" he says, he does not
mean perfect heauties" by any
means. He means merely those with
few good features and no eccentri-
city TO mar thesa The cruelty Of
this Italian gentleman, whose only
distinction has been gained by his
present statistics, seems at first
glance TO be wholly un-Christian. At
best, he can only pick out the women
who are beautiful according to his
own standards. We are sure that
there are no women who are not
deemed beautifully by somebody or
other; therefore. all must be beau
tiful. One mans opinion is as good as
another's.

surrendered to the police, declaring
that he had set fire to the plant of the
Friedlander Leather Remnants Co. and
thus started the blaze which resulted
in the killing of 1S tiremen and po-
hceman.
The man, who was rushed to the
city hall for an examination, said that
he had started the fire in a spirit Of
revenge. He declared, in broken Eng
lish, that he had worked for David
Friedlander until year ago, when
he was discharged, and three weeks
ago he applied for another job, but
was refused. and that, after much
brooding over his rebuff, he made up
his mind to set the factory on fire.
He stuck to his tale when questioned
by detective interpreters, and was
locked up for further examination.
