Relation of City and Country.

With US cities are as certain to
spring up with the increase of country
population as the forests are to dlsap.
pear. City and country are organical-
ly related. Crops cannot be grown
without fields nor exchanged and man
ufactured under the modern system of
division of labor without cities. Only
In the rudest pioneer settlements do
men dispense with this division Of la.
bors by doing everything painfully and
badly on the farm. Such settlements
are retarded and hampered until they
have towns for the city part of the
work. When We estimate that the av-
erage inhabitant of New York may
have but few score square feet for
his own use we are apt to forget that
he can only exist on them because
somewhere In the country there are
acres of ground producing for him, as
really and definitely for him as IL he
owned them and hired the labor on
them, what Professor Penck has called
his "sustenance space."-Atlantic.

Beauty Fashions.

- In the days of Roman supremacy
the women tinted their eyebrows with
black In emulation of COX eyed Venus"
They painted their faces, sprinkled
themselves with perfumes and 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 1t from the sun and wind. 1t Is
even said that they had recipe for
turning blue eyes to black.
These fashions all had their origin in
Italy. where In later years the notori-
Gus Lucrezia Borgia is said to have
dyed her hair different colors, accord
ing to her fancy of the moment.
