After all, is the world so very absurd


in its love of pretty women? Is wo-


man so very ridiculous in her chase


after beauty? a pretty woman is do
ing a wOman's work IN the world, not
making speeches, nor making pud-
dings, but making life SUMMER and


more beautiful. Man has fOrswOrn


the pursuit OF beauty altogether. Does


he seek it for himself, he is guessed to


be poetic, there are whispers that his
morals are no better than they should


be. In a society resOlute to be ugly,


there is no post for an AdOnis, but
that of model or guardsman. But
woman does for mankind what man


has ceased to do. Her aim from very
childhood is to be beautiful. Even as


a school girl she notes the progress of
her charms, the deepening color Of her
hair, the growing symmetry of her
arm, the ripening contour OF her


cheek. We watch, with silent inter-
est, the mysterious reveries Of the
maiden she is dreaming of coming
beauty, and painting for the glories Of
eighteen. Insensibly she becomes an


artist, her room is a studio, her glass
an academy. The joy Of her toilet is
the joy of Raphael over his canvas, of
Michael Angelo over his marble. She


is creating beauty in the silence and
the loneliness of her chamber; she
grows like any art creation, the result
of patience, of hope, of a thousand
delicate tOuchings aud TetOuchings.
Woman is never perfect; never COM
plete. a restless night undOes the


beauty of the day; sunshine blurs the
evanescent cOlOring of her cheek
frost nips the tender outlines of her
face into sudden harshness. Care
plows its lines across her brow; moth
erhOOd DESTROYS the elastic lightness
of her form; the bloom of her cheek
the quick flash of her eye, fade and


vanish as the years go by. But wo-


man is still true to her ideal. She
won't know when she is beaten, and
she manages to steal fresh victories
| even in her defeat. She invents new
| conceptions of wOmanly grace she
rallies at forty, and fronts US with the
beauty of womanhOOd; she makes q
last stand at sixty, with the beauty oi
age. She falls like Caesar, wrapping
her mantle round her-"buried IN

That this community is paying high prices for

farmers sell good pure milk for low prices has been
established by proper inquiry and cannot be doubted
These Inquiries have further revealed that there are
sold here daily about 5000 quarts more Of lso-
called milk than actually comes to market, and
that this is adulteration chiefly Of water.
Thus New-Yo housekeepeIs are not only swindled

for an impure article of food but public health is
seriously imperiled The consumers generally have
long been convinced that the milk they drink il
watered and arc anxious to know the extent OF tho
adulteration, the names of those middlemen whose
employees dilute it, and the place where IL is watered

A lady having asked the Farmers
Club of New York city if rose leaves,

perfumes, might not be gathered and

pound. 1t is rot, however, our common
garden varieties that furnish the rose
leaves of commerce, but the red damask
rose from which the oil of roses is made.

1t is predicted that Lake Erie, now
the pathway of a mighty commerce,
will. in time, dry up and become the
home Of a teeming population. Careful
surveys have shown that while Lake
Michigan has an average depth OF
1900 feet, Lake Superior OF 900 feet,
Lake Ontario OF 500 feet and Lake Erie
an average depth of l20 feet, which is
said to be constantly decreasing. The
bottom of the lake is quite level, and
composed of soft clay. This clay is
constantly accumulatng from sediment
carried down by tributary streams.
The south shore is composed OF easily
disintegrating blue, gray and olive
shoals and gray sandstone. The west
ern and northern coasts are made up OF
limestone OF the Heidelberg group
which quickly yields to the action Of
the waves Consequently both shores
constantly are contributing to fill up
the bed of the lake. The work is not
rapid, but it is said to be as certain as

Opening or the Law Term-The

Gladstone and COckburn.


The opening OF the law term for the
coming season was made the occasion
of a grand banquet in the Middle Tenn.
pie, this evening. A number Of mem
bers of Parliament participated, as also
did number of distinguished lawyers
and foreign ambassadors. Premier
Gladstone and Chief Justice Cockburn
were present and delivered addresses, in
which the recent meeting at Geneva
and the decision OF the Alabama arbi.
tration claim question was brought for
ward and made a subject OF discourse.
Mr.. Gladstone, in the course his re-
marks, said that he felt no depression
whatever at the result OF the Geneva
arbitration and would not retract in the
slightest sense the steps which his gov.
ernment had taken in the settlement Of
the Alabama difficulty. He trusted that
the principle OF arbitration III all ques-
tions of difference between foreign
powers would henceforth be generally y
accepted and thus in the future prevent
bloodshed and misery to mankind.


Chief Justice Cockburn held to the
same view regarding England's position
with reference to the result Of the arbi'
tration as set forth by Mr. Gladstone.
He reviewed the origin OF the difficulty
which had resulted in the appointment
OF a Boar OF Arbitration, and consid-
cred that the future explanation which
should be made concerning the action
Of England in the case Of the privateer
Alabama would prove to the world that

Prof TyudaiI as q LeciureF'


Prot. Tyndslls manner as lecturer is
in a remarkable degree individual and
unique. He never reads, but holds bis
audience by the power OF lucid asd
forcible extemporaneous statement. He
is not what would be called fluent or
even speaker, who keeps up cont'nu-
GUS strain OF agreeable utterance. He
is not an elegant declaimer, whose
measured cadences are accompanied by
graceful and appropriate gestures: de
is irregular and sometimes nesitatlng IN
speech, and unstudied in gestures and
movements. His habit Of speaking has
been formed in connection with his
habit of experimenting, and this latter
is 80 essential feature OF his platform
exercises that it greatly influences
his manner of public address Clear
ness, force, vividness Of description,
felicity of illustration. and the elo-
quence inspired by grand conception are
the striking features Of his style. VI
poetic and imaginative temperament,
hut with these traits under thorough
disc pine, he gives vivacitv and attract
iveness to accurate and solid exposition.
Prof. Tyndall is a thoroughly trained
and well poised enthusiast in science
He is intensely in earnest, and is always
as much interested in the subject and
the proceedings "a the audience he car
res with him. He is remarkable ex'
ample of self forget'ulness upon the
platform, being always absorbed in his
subject. Strongly sympathetic with his
audience, he seems animated by but one
purpose, to make them understand the
question before them, to make them see
it and feel it as he sees and teels il. As
an original and sklliul experimenter.
Prof Tyndall is unrivslled Fertile
and ingenious in contrivances for bring.
ing out his points, the effects are always
telling and impressive Yet the exper
iments are never the main things; they
are always subordinate to the idea with
which he is desling-help to its pre-
sentation. He is never eclipsed by his
own pyrotechny, but holds the attention
OF his listeners closely to the question
under examination.

hot is to fan turiously. The coolest part

keeping well is to eat sour cherries. The
person that eats no meat aud he who eats
nothing else is a fool, for the time being.

who have nothing to do and who attend
to it with al their might Going to bed
