Of her face lies in the fire of the
eyes and the dark rich colorinE
that appeals strongly to more
northern races and seems to indi-

depth of feeling. The French, bru-
nette and dark-eyed themselves.
seem to be especially willing to
praise the beauty of the Spanish

Benjamin DIsraeIi. the British
statesman, was none the less en-
thusiastic concerning the charm Of
Spanish women. In a letter to his
mother written from Spain he says:
Their charm consists in their SEN
sibility; each incident, every per-
son. every word touches the far eye
of Spanish lady, and her features
are constantly refuting the creed of
Mohamet, and proving that she has
a soul; but there is nothing quick.

extremely unaffected, and not at all

Daily Horoscope

This Is read as an unfavorabie
day, for while Jupiter is in benefic
aspect early in the day. Saturn,
Uranus and Mars all are strongly
adverse.
The New Moon of this date is q
partial eclipse of the Sun, falling on
the cusp Of the twelfth house at
tended by Mercury and Venus. 1t is
most favorable for hospitals and
other large institutions, bringing
them financial benefit.
Again the signs are menscing TO
the railways. Indicating strike trou-
bles and disasters.
The opposition of Uranus and
Saturn from the fourth house is read
also to foreshadow mining strikes
and other labor complications.
Mars Is in an aspect read as CIV
ing warning Of cruelty to children.
Cases will be uncovered that will
start sweeping reforms in asylums
and bring about much agitation re-
garding the penalty the innocent pay
for illegitimacy.
Danger OF an infectious epidemic
that affects both children and adults
Is foreseen. Cities should be put in
a sanitary condition. for the summer
Will be extremely warm.
The position Of Uranus Is mena-
cing'to those who bear the responsi-
btlities Of government. The king Of
England as well as men at the head
OF republics may meet serious prob
lens.
Jupiter gives promise Of increas-
ing demand for workers and much
production, but there will be many
difficulties over wage demands.
A mining disaster is threatened.
but 1t may not be in the United
States, even though it has an effect
on this country.
This days eclipse of the Sun.
which will not be visible here, falls
in the third decan OF Taurus. This
is read as likely to produce famine
and pestilence in different parts of
the world.
Persons are warned to prepare for
a long period Of excessive heat that
will greatly increase the percentage
'of illness.
Children may suffer much during
the summer when the poor will need
milk and delicate foods.
Persons whose birthdate II is
should avoid changes OF any sort as
they may not be fortunate. Those
who are employed should be careful.
Children born on this day may be
unsettled and restless. They are
likely to be artistic and not lucky
in business.
