The Duchess met tne seventh day, after whic the Prinee at Coblentz, and offered | | time (sometime s extended to the | him the use of her millions! wpinth day”) the dread of evil conse for a Houlangist campaign in favor of the restoration of kingshipin France. The Comte hesitated, finally accepted, and suggested the names of gentlemen to form an advising committee for the spending of the money. At parting be presented the Duchesse with a bouquet of white roses de France, surrounded by ‘ink carnations, Houlanger’s flower. mm that moment the campaign began in Carnest The Duchesse VU. the cordial, yet the active co-operation of Louise Michel for Soulangism. The wife of the first peér of France and the petroleuse had met by the bedside of a sick woman of the pi The patient won over, if not sople died, and Louise Michel wrote to the Duchesse: “Madame, our poor friend is dead. I looked among her few belongings for a keepsake for you; I chose this little piece of braided embroilery. Accept it.” Some days after the Duchesse called upon Louise Michel ig her extraordinary home at Levallois, where forsaken ani- mals are received, and where the poor are welcomed with kind words and fed with bread. From that day the mystic preacher of anarchy and the “ood” aristocrat became friends. When Bou- langer presented himself for election on the 27th of January, 1889, Louise Michel wrote to the Duchesse: “I do not love your Boulanger, but for your sako | will not attack him. On the con- trary, he will have the suffrages of my friends.—Louise Michel.” Tho Duchesse d'Uzes is too brave a woman to escape from the consequences of heractions. She stands by what she has done. She is a conspirator, actu- ated only by the conviction that France would be happier under an hereditary government.—London Queen. IN ENGLAND. Jullan Ralph Don't “lame My Lord for Marrylug a Yankee Girl. A word may be in place bere about the English women. They are very little like the better moiety of Ameri- cans. They appear to have the most bountiful health, and they certainly do possess the loveliest complexions imag- inable. The Indian females of Alaska, who cover their faces with a thick black mixture of soot and grease, in order to preserve their beauty, may have the most perfect complexions, as they boast, but until there is other evidence than their assertion. the palm certainly must go to the English. Even in White- chapel, or among tho peasant or fisher girls, you will see cheeks like the sides of peaches, while among the Lon- don beauties the faces are like ivory suffused with the tidge of rose leaves. We bako our faces in overheated houses at least six months in the year, and if we expose them, it is to violent heat or sudden changes. They live at home in such discomfort that the best way toget warm has been for ages to get out of doors and walk. The consequence is that they are born with a fondness for the open air and open-air exercise, and always in a climate moist and productive of the most superb animal and vegetabie development But it seems to me that the finest English women fall far short of our mark. Big, bony, heavy women— WOMEN too tall and big and heavy—they carry | shoulders as disproportionately wide as the sails of a windmill, and then pinch their waists toa de ar women Cree Ot never approached. They lack the grace- fal, opulent curves of 10 )~=operfect Woman. I never fully realized this unti I went to Francé, where the women often goddesses. Then Iknew th had not seen in all Eng dozen such women as abound in jea and Paris. to Paris that I realized the fact Amer- that English women lack not only rounding | outlines, but that they fail of bei “stylish,” and that they are wanting in gracefulness. As for the English young girl, or “miss,” she is next door to a | chrysalis, without wit, or spirit, or orig- inality, individuality or independence; an appendage to her parent, a dead weight upon whatever company she is led into: a pulseless, milky-eyed, ani- mated identity; she lives, she moves, she has her being—that is all. Nobody can blame an English nobleman for marrying an American girl if he can: of that I am convinced.—Julian Ralph, in Harper's Weekly. —Nearly soven thousands pounds of attar of roses were exported from ‘Turkey last year, worth $350,000. Es- sence of geranium has deen employed for adulteration, and the Turkish Gov- sernment bas now forbidden the impor- tation of this essence. ' "MYSTIC NUMBERS.

And yet this ts precisely what has justoccurred in New Zealand. The government of the colony is anxious to acclimatize the cham- ois, and in order to execute this laudable object asked Parliament for a vote of &£ When the vote came up for discussion, an honora- able member named Kerr arose in righteous indignaticn and demanded further information. “I should like to hear from the government exactly what these ‘shammies’ are. I am told that they are across between a pig and a sheep, and that they breed scab.” “There is a book about them in the library,” politely replied a member on the other side of the house; “I'll go and fetch it for you.” Mr. Kerr, touched by this act of courtesy. graciously received the volume and began reading out, in a@ pompous voice, the passage pointed out to him—a famous passage from one of the works of the eminent natur- alist, Samuel Clemens, better known to many of his readers as Mark Twain. As the reading proceeded the house quickly realized the joke. Not so Mr. Kerr. When he came to the statement that the “chamois is no bigger than a mustard seed” he stopped himself, and, glaring on the house, now roaring with laughter, flercely asked: ‘What do we want with animals like that in New Zealand? Why, they would be worse than rabbits!"—Chicago Post. FASHIONS IN LAPLAND. A Country Where Changes Are Never Made. ‘The costume of the Lapps has not al- tered very much for the last thousand years.
