AMERICAN BEAUTY.

NJ. Paul Helleu of Paris, whose busi>
ness it is to sketch pictures of pretty
women, pats America just where she
likes to be patted most when he de-
clares that the women OF this country
are the most beautiful in the world.
The best thing about M. Helleu's
charming compliment is the fact that
it has all the ear marks of judge
ment based on careful critical study
In the first place, M. Helleu ought to
be competent judge Of beauty. His
profession is the depicting of feminine
loveliness. Nobody else in the whole
world ought to know better than he
does what real beauty is and nobody
else ought to know better where to
look for 1t. In the second place, no
considerations of filthy lucer are pres
ent to explain M. Helleu's enthusiasm
for the American woman. He Is, on
the contrary, a Frenchman, living in
France and destined to do most of his
work in France, to which he has just
returned after q visit to the United
States. Self-interest, as well as patri-
otic prejudice, If they carry any weight
with him at all, ought to have con-
spired to prevent the utterance In
which he skaters the Illusion that
Paris is the real center Of pulchritude
on this sphere.

TENDENCY 70 srANpARp,zE.

A startling question comes from an
inquirer; Can you obtain any infor-
NATION why all railway tickets of card
board are the same size all over Eng
land and the continent and America,
viz: 2A inches by IN inches, and
have been so for the last 80 years2
What is the reason?" Well, are they?
II the railway ticket Is the same size
all over the world, 1t only shows our
tendency to standardize, says the Lon
don Chronicle. You may step through
the civilized world, and wherever the
steps are placed the standard Is %
inches, upward or onward. Every
builders ladder is built to scale, and
the firemen's ladder Is on the scale Of
the seaman's run up the ratlines, not
the bricklayer's trudge up the wooden
rungs. But perhaps the greatest tri-
umph of standardizing 10 that of the
circus. There are big and little cir
cuses In the world-thousands of box
ed spectators at the Hippondrome or
hundreds of boys in New Mexico. But
the ring is always of the same diam
eter, for the bareback rider has dis
covered the exact angle at which he
can square the circle. The circus
ring never varies by foot

Not many people guard their health
so carefully as Sir Tatton Sykes. who
in winter wore Ave or six coats when
out riding, and shed some of them as
he became warmer. Prince Poutiakine,
however, took even stronger precau.
tions against illness. II there was a
touch of cold in the air he had fires
Lit in his grounds before venturing to
stroll in them. His waistcoats were
made in two separate pieces, Joined at
the sides by buttons, SO that he could
take them OF or put additional ones
on without removing his coat. II
caught in a shower he sheltered him
self with an umbrella nearly two feet
wide, which came down below his
waist and was pierced with little win
dows. In very hot weather the prince
wore boots coated with tin, as a pro
lection against mad dogs. and carried
Bponges soaked with vinegar in his
shirt front to ward of unpleasant
smells.

The Order of the Thistle, of which
Lord Haldane is to be made knight,
dates only from the last day of 17O3.
Centuries earlier, however, the this
tie was the national badge of Scot
land, and the origin of its emblematic
use is referred by tradition to the Dan
ish invasion of Scotland, says the Lon
don Chronicle. The invaders planned
a night ateack. and, marching bare
foot, had contrived to creep close up
to the Scottish forces unobserved
when one of them stepped on this
tie and uttered cry Of pain. The
alarm was given, and the attack fail
ed. Out of gratitude the thistle was
adopted as the insignia of Scotland.

The old mans eyes glistened with the

The sections through which we
passed show splendid signs of good
crops and the farmers seem to be in
good spirits. Corn is looking fine and
beans (Which seem to grow every
Iwhere) are in splendid condition.
Notwithstanding the road system of
the state is not up to present day
standard, there is wonderful en-
chantment in those beautiful forests.
Nowhere, it seems to me, is there
such beautiful maple trees. The very
air of Michigan seems to furnish
nourishment for foliage of every de-
scrption, and the lover of natural
beauty of tree and shrub can certain
ly find much to crafty his taste for
such things in this state.
Those lakes which are showing their
crystal waters in nearly every sec

beauty of forest foliage and Turing
loveliness of lake and stream, the first

Maumee valley in front of Perrysburg
