The handsomest woman 1 ever saw was one who took great-care of her health. When [ knew her she was pas thirty, but no girl of sixteen that I havo ever seen had rosier cheeks or brighter eyes. Of course she was naturally fine looking but the attention she gave to matters of hygiene added to and pre- served hor beauty. What did she do? 1 don’t know that I can recount all, but 1 remember her telling me she took a sponge bath every morning; was par- ticular about the ventilation of her apartments, took long walks when she could; ate but little meat, much fruit and cereals whenever she could get them. Another thing she did which she tried without success to get me to do, she drank her coffee without milk or cream, diluted with water. The reason she k her coffee so was because her physicians told her it w healthier to ‘dr it in this w ‘Whether the practice added to her pe. sonal charms or not 1do not know. On the whole she wis certainly repaid for her systematic habits” aud as cortainly there was nothing ardu- ous about the performance of them. Nor was there anything Dbizarvo ahout them as, it seems to me, there is about the following account 1 read of a Chicago belle: “To keep the suppleness of her figure she stunds one hour daily, fifteen minutes at u time, with her hands on her hips before u long mirror, and bending her knees out from each other sho sinks slowly down to the floor as low as possible, thon as slowly uprising, meantime moving her arms'in any di- rect to their utmost length,out or up, forward or back, until when she smmL erect they are ready to be placed on hey hips again, “lach movement is repeated, every time a little accelerated, until ‘at the end of thirteen minu it is done quickly, and a fine color is in her cheeks. She then lies down ona per- foetly flat couch, without a pillow, until her breath comes smooth and regular, as it will in the two minutes left in hep quarter of an hour, When she plays a good deal of tennis she cuts down™ her exercising one-hulf.” Of course, the benefit to be derived from this proceed- ure is not to he questioned, what may be thought of it besides. 1t is easy tosee her whole body thus receives plexion, and ma healthier.” Latest News of Mrs. Mackay. Philadelphia Pres: Mrs. J. W, Mackay, who is_distinguished as one of the best dressed women in the Ameri can colony in Paris, comes to the for this autumn in a feather cloak, which she throws over her shoulders driving to and from entertathments. The clonk is made from the breasts of birds of paradise and, as may be imagined, is a most gorgeous creation. But the whole- sale sacrifice of the feathered tribe can- not be cited as anovelty. As early as 1819 one of the chiefs of the Sandwich islands made proud boast of a cloak of the feathers of a rare bird to be found only on those islands. They rich yellow color, tufted with . The cloak was taken from the chief’s shoul- d when he was slain in battle, and was some years afterwards presented to an officer in tho United States navy, who placed it on exhibition at the Cen- tennial of 1876, and_who later on pre- sented it to the Nuationul museum at Washington. Speaking of Mrs. Mackay, it interesting to note that one of* he king her stronger and ¥ be most nh)l}' the sentenced hefore court, before which he literally carried. His namo was Hert and he had held at some past time tho position of butler in the Mackay man- sion. While serving in_ this ca- E y he had managed to poke is nose into almost all of Mrs, Mack- ay’s affairs, a habit, by the way, which the Parisian domestic adopts, ashe him- self says, for his own safety. Profit would be the better word. Vhen fin- ally his obtrusiveness could be endured no longer and he was discharged, he at first refused to leave the housohold and had to be forcibly ejected. He soon reappeared, however, and threatened to give to the sensational so- cicty papers all the information, big and little, which he had managed to guin whilo in Mrs. Mackay's employ. Had the latter dealt with him as he de- served at this point and kicked him out of the house, it is quite probable that she never would have heard from him But being acutely sensitive to le and anxious to avoid the pub- ation of such petty details as as he had learned, she made the natural blun- der of treating with him. This, of course, only encouraged him to further effort. As u matter of t the scoun- drel knew nothing of a really damaging nature, but Mrs. ay seems to have dreaded his invent powers. Hertz's last demand was for $2,500, the penalty for |'¢~El\\fiu\ to be an alleged exposure of the y's complicity in the death of two former servants e employ, At this she mustered up ¢ enough to have him arrested and trie was sentonced t two years ment.

The severely critical would say the eye should have nothing to do with our judgment of an artist; but while munkind is human, youth and attract- iveness will have much to answer for in our likes and dislikes. It so happens that mnusical instinet falls oftenest to the lot of pretty women; or is it that talent makes them fair by developing that personal charm which is the great- est beauty youth can possess? Ithought so while "hearing Tua play, and I am quite sure of my theory while listening to Belle Botsford, whoe is_a violinist of . and he imprison- Eooduxurcisc.nddln( to the grace of or own form, beuutifying her com- peculiarly rofined and dainty artistic feelingr © These young artists, though a is some years Miss Bots- ford’s senior, are gifted by nature with beautiful arms and hands, a most essen- tial beauty in their profession, and to be required to shut one’s eyes to them would be more than susceptible mortals could endure. A Victorious Widow. A Jamestown. Dak., correspondent writes: The fight tg change the county seat of Logan from Napoleon to the new town of Lowry, on the Aberdeen & Bis- marck railroad, developed one of the shrewdest managed contests known in the territory., The victory which fin- ally perched on the banner of Napoleon was won by . woman—a widow, and a Minneapolis widow at that. She had property interests at Napol- eon left her by her husband, and when she heard of the fight, came out to look things over. She found matters in a very bad shape. The county seat been lm'm.w& at Napoleon for s years, but nothing had come of it. place, if place it could be called, was without a store, even, and gradually all interest in it was fading out. There were less than one hundred votes in the county, and no prospect of one-half haing oast, What fnierdsi thore was on the side of the new town, of which there was some hope when the railroad was completed. The widow took in the situation, and taking off her coat, so to_speak, began vork. She shed her #200 sealskin, and od in rough garments, drove over the prairie, stopping at the farm houses staying all night in cabins and litter- ally sitting up with the inhabitants. She came, she saw, she conquered. The old farmers heard her, looked upon her, and resolved to stand by hi Now she encountered a man in financial trouble, she instantly relieved him. Here she found a man grumbling at the lack of growth in the town of Napoleon; it was arranged at once that the place should have a church, a store, a hotel, a bank, everything which heart could wish and the end was that the gratified and cap- tured inhabitants came up and, figura- tively speaking, laid the decision of the momentous question at the pretty wid- ow’s feet. The vote came off and Napo- ed to surrender to Lowry. hero was still superior to the financial prince,or rather the widow was on the side of the little Frenchman and so the deal was closed. What will now be done isa _problem. but it looks very much as if the widow had the edge, s0 to speak, and was in a position to dic- tate terms, Mrs. Sherman as a Housekeeper. New York World: Mrs. Senator Sher- man, in addition to being the best read and most highly accomplished society women of the capital,is a thorough housekeeper, and she understands cook- ing almost a8 well asthe chef of the white house. * At her home in Mans- field, O., she keeps some fine Jerse cows, and her butter is made after her own directions. Not long ago she sent a roll of this butter to the county fair of Richland county, in which Mansfield is situated; and in order that no favorit- ism might be shown on account of the butter coming from the wife of Senator Sherman, she did not allow any name to bo attached to her exhibit. The judges awarded the premium to another }ur 1 and they passed over the butter of M Shermun, on the ground that the rich yellow shown in it, could not have been produced except by artificial means. Mrs. Sherman was somewhat indignant at the suspicion, and sent, I am told, aslice of the butter to each of the judges, with her compliments. The cream of which it was made was so rich, that it was as yellow as the gold of Ophir. Wrecked By a Woman. It is vare that a client gets the bet- ter of his lawyer, says a Washington lawyer, but one of the anecdotes with which Judge Richardson illustrates his lecture on English practice seems to af- fovd a striking instance of that sort of thing. It seems that in England a bar- rister has no fees allowed by law. The solicitors who employ him give him only an honorarium, He can coll nothing by bringing suit. Moreover, if he deals dlrectly with a client he will be dropped by all the solicitors, A certain English- woman had a case involving several thousand pounds. Every solicitor to whom she submitted it told her that she had no case. Finally, however, she met a barrister who declared that her case was good. She offered him £60,000 if he could win it for he He accepted, moved into her circuit, risking every- thing in the veature, and won the case for her. Then she refused to pay him his promised fee. He sued her, but was hle to recover a farthing. His pro- onal future was ruined and his life made a blank by this one act of impru- dence on his part. How Women Could Change Things. San Francisco Chronicle: What a revolution there would be if woman, lovely woman, were to wake up some fine morning to a full realization of her powers and band herself, so to speak, in a band or trades union, and start in to have things her own way. Whoop! How things would change. Idon’t include married woman. She would simply raise a rviot, get sat upon and crushed and what little independence she has now would vanish, nmarried woman is the most potent force in nature. She is the most favored agency of electricity in the shape of magnetism, and she could simply do what she pleased if she had the buckbone to try it. She must not be in love, or if she is she must not be deputed to work upon the fellow she is in love with. She can’t do anything with him, but she can work most effect- ively a whole dozen of men who want her to be in love with them. No Knights of Labor organization, no body of the kind, could possibly compare in practi- cal power with a trades union of unmar- ried women bent upon having the world worked her way. A Rhapsody on Woman. Texarkana Independent: Woman is just too awfully lovely in newly laun- dried Wamsuttta and lawn, when fresh from close communion with toilet soap and a crystal, wat bath. She has the ripe peach fragrance of paradise and the breath of the cape jasmine of the tropical empyrean: When a fellow passes to the windward of a pretty woman who is filling the air with sweetness and purity as she trips grace- fully along, he delicately sniffs the air for an hour, as he had got a snatch of heavenly perfume, and . was trying to woo another whiff from over the celes- tiak battlements. God bless the women! If there were none on earth baldheaded men and babies would he awfully scarce and courting would lose more than half its flavor. A Heroine of the Flowry Kingdom. China Mail: The case of P'u Ai-ni is ting a sensation. She is a girl of rhteen, who worked hard to maintain a debauched brother. The brother was murdered and Miss P'u applied in per- son for vedress, informiug the magis- trate, in reply to his querics who we the murderers and where the murde weapons were, that it was exaet this that it was his “duty to. discover. Failing to obtain redress she walked from Hec 0 to Pekin and threw herself in the empress’ path, Covered by the rifles of the guards, she was raised by ovder of the empress and handed ov to the board, where she is now comfor ably instalied, sttended by two old women, pending the arvival of the par- ties concerned from the provinces. Questioned as to whether she was en- gaged to be married or not,she answered: **Your business, O, judges, is to discov my brother’s murderers and not to med- dle with my private affair The papers alrendy talk of gi her a ng prominent place in history, while the high officials of the board are anxious to avoid the responsibility of confront- ing her in court. ‘Women Printers. New York Sun: There are from 400 to 500 women who are typesetters in this city. Of these those who are or- ganized belong to the Typographical union No. 6, which is primarily a men’s union. These women are employed in newspaper and job offices, and in such large houses as Harpers’ and Leslie's, in various capacities is typesetters, dis- tributors, copy-holders, and they do work from the most common to the finest. John Everett, foreman of the compos- ing-room in one of the newspaper offices and a member of Typographical union No. 6, says: “Women are a standing menace to men. The best thing we can do is to organizo them.” Pt £Whav 15 yout experience with them in the composing-room?" “They can never compete with men. They do not learn their trade as intelli- gently as men do, who take it up for life. "A women may be a very rapid ts'lwancr. Generally she is. Her idea is to make as much money as she can the few years she is at work. Eventually she expects to marry. Mean- while she gives us very dirty proofs. Here we employ women only as distrib- utors. Some women earn from $15 to $20 per week, and the average earnings are ¥12 a week. But the difficulty is to persuade women to enter the union, when, in trath if they will set type, it is their only safety and ours to do so. We insure them our prices as well as vre- vent them cutting under those prices.” Mr. Charles Philo, one of the oldest members of Typographical Union No. 6, sai *Our union is 4,000 strong, and if I should pronounce their senti- ments as a body it would be against women as typesetters. It is adight business, but it is one that demands a serious nervous strain, and don’t think women are fitted to bear it.

We in- sure them among us every respect as women, and I obser that their presence in & composing room is hene- ficial. It softens the manuers of the men. T will say this for women, they are splendid allies. If we go out on a strike the women will stand by to the last. They act from principle. But we have our’ limitations. We will not allow women to do night work. We think they are not fitted for it. That y must leave to the men.
