ESPECIALIY FOR LADIES. Mrs. langtrj'.^ Beauty Analyzed by One of Her Own Sex. The Princess Maxy of Teokâ€" Flirting in liie Street-Carsâ€" SmaU Talli for the Ladles. Langtry's Beauty Analyzed. A v/oman it is who thus relentlessly, in a letter, from New York to the Cincinnati Enquirer, dissects the beauty of Mrs. Lang- try: I am not poicg to harp much on the played-outstring of Langtry, and will simply say that those who were reasonable in their expectati ns tound her satisfactory.but those who looked for a transcendent beauty were woefully disappointed. I counted five wo- men iu the audience who, beyond all ques- tion, were a great d"al nearer to perfection than this prince's darling. The chief charm was a lady-like aspect and manner, quite out of keeping with the part she was acting in the play. And it was observed that when she did unrehearsed things (as in pick- ing up the dumped flowers from a basket handed to her while in front of the curtain, and leading out her reluctant manager) she was even more graceful and free than when she was following instructions as Hester (irazebrook. It was easy to comprehend how, with the prince of Wales to push her, she has made such a headwiy in London ar- istocratic socie y. She ha grown thin since the familiar portrait, exposing taper arms and boneless bosom, were made and she made no cxhibiiion of those things, nor is .she likely to during her American tour. She is a large-jointed woman, With big hands, and her elbows are larger than i he parts cf her arms between them and the shoulders, as was plainly disclo^eil by the tight sleeves of her c stuines. No, she will bare no such arms as she now possesses, believe me. Only one of her dresses was low, and that exposed only a ^^ e Ige of skin down the centre of her breast. Tliis garment was of rich, warm- toned yellow satin, simple in style, and fit- ting perfectly. The waist was heart-shaped, coming low tlown on the shoulders, and be- neath the frill of point lace, which circum- scribed the fleshy area and the narrow limits already described, was only? piece of lightly twisted pa in following its outlines. The corsage simply carried the line below the waist, and ended iu small points. The sleeves reached below the elbow, with a piece of the satin carried round the edge, and a little puff of white silk edged with Hce in each, tying it to the aim. The front of the skirt was laid in large plaits, which gave a fullness that was lightly caught here and there, making a careless drapery. This train was long, and its beautj left to depend on its own color and folds. In all ol her dressing she was careful to show the out- lines of her waist, which is slender, and to my mind, rather out of proportion with her broad shoulders and ample hips. The idea suggested by her figure was not of fleshy roundness at the two wide parts mentioned, but a b g-boaed frame not smoothly filled out. The impression was strengthened by the visible action of her shoulder-blades under the thin covering and a^ ave the tops of her corsets, as well as by the meagreness of her bosom. I fancied that she was about seven-eighths bone, and when she smile *, with her extensive mouth and white teeth, the unpleasant thought came to me that she was exposing the whole front of her skull, which might at any moment drop out, leav- ing her head a shapeless mass of hair and skin. Having expressed that horrid idea I must not fail to do the woman justice by say- ing that, as an entirely, she is about as wholesome, healthy, clean-looking a creature as one would wish to sec. She walked with a stride that indicated a sturdy pedestrian, and altogether, she had more out-door breeziness than one would expect in a dainty, drawing-room pet. Langtry was a focus for every glass in the house, instantly I n ler apcea"rance, and when she made her firbt exit there arose such a babil ot com- ment that the other actors could not be heard at all. She bore the ordeal without a tremor. I have no doubt she liked it. " She talks about her personal charms with the utmost freedom," said a journal- ist who had iuterviewed her several times. " Well, I suppose you gentlemen of the press boied her until she talked as a means of getting rid of you quickly," I r*marked. " Bored her," he retortetl, "well, that's fanny. Theie wasn't a reporter went down the bay to meet her, and wrote her up for his paper, who wasn't impor uned to call on her at her hotel. Ana, if he did it and wrote something more than his manag- ing editor deemed worth publishing, then he soon got a little note beggint; him to call again. Bored by reporters Please permit me tolaagh." girly girl never bother* about woman n^ts and woman wrongs. She is a gkl and is glad of it. She would not be a boy and grow up into a man and vote and go away to war and pazzle her brain about stocks for a kingdom. She knows nothing about busi- ness, and does not want to know anything about it. Her aim is to marry some good fellow and make him a good wife, and she generally succeed* in doing both. She de- lights in dress and everything that is pretty, and is not ashamed to own that she does. She is pleased when she is admired, and lets you see that she is. She is feminine from the top of her head to the end of her toes and if you try to draw her into the discus- sion of dry themes she tells you squarely that the conversation does not suit her. She is the personification of frankness. There is not a particle of humbug Iu her composition. Here is health to the girly girl May her numbers never grow !es?. Kissing a^ a Cure for Freckles. One fine evening recently, says a German paper, Mr. R., a government employe in the town of Brunn, was taking a walk in the castle grounds, when, on reaching a less fre- quented portion of the park, he saw a young lady coming in the opposite direction. As they were about to pass each other, the lady suddenly turned toward Mr. B., threw her arms around his reck and kissed him then as if ashamed of what she had done, she covered her face with her hands and ran off as fast as she could. The gentleman imable to account for this agreeable surprise, fol- lowed the young lady, and, taking her by the arm, asked for an explanation of her strange procedure. •' I be? a thousand par- dons," was the reply of the blushing damsel: "you must be greatly shocked at my be- haviour. I had been to consult a 'wise wo- man ' as to the best means of charming away the freckles on my face, and she advised me to kiss the first gentleman I met, when they would be sure to disappear." The couple continued their walk together, and though we are not told whether the singular remedy proved effecacious or not, it may interest the reader to learn that, not many days after- ward, the two were joined together for bet- ter or for worse. Walter Girls In Germany. Nasby writes thus of Germany It ii as- tonishing how alike everything is the world over. In these beer halls the waiter girls who have plump, shapely arms wear short sleeves, while those whose arms are very thin and not at all shapely wear long sleeves, holding that short sleeves arc immodest. This conversation probably occurs between girls of the two types, the plump and the scraggy " You are entirely right, BerUia darling short sleeves may be immodest. On such arms as yours, my love, the,' would be pos- itively indecet'.t." And then they wouldn't kiss each other, and move off as on ahappy campaign against incoming thirst. But Pauline, the plump, would lau^h a saucy laugh, and Bertha, the skinny, would assum2 a very sour look. Likewise those who are too plain to attract the attention of customers are very severe upon flirtin?, and have no lies tarion in as- serting that the pretty ones are bold, pert things. It makes but little difference in what country people are born they are sons and daughters cf Adam and Eve, and Adam and Eve runs through them all. llie Sln-Impelling Sealskin. The sealskin sacque so popular among wo- men, says the New York Times, has long been an object of masculine dread, according to the newspaper humorists. The comic depart- ment of a Chicago, Cincinnati, or St. Louis paper never fails to contain some reference to the sufferings of the man who is request- ed to buy a sealskin sacque for his wife, and the western father is, according to the same authority, constantly brought to the verge of bankruptcy through buying sealskin sacques for his daughters. There is another grave charge which may be brought against the same attractive and costly garment. It leads to more violations of our revenue laws than does any other ar- ticle known tc importers. Sealskin sacques can be bought in Canada much more cheap- ly than in the United States, and the dream of every enterprising American woman is to smuggle it through the United States cus- tom-house. The chief statistician of the custom-house asserts that 17,000 (in round number*) American women annually visit Canada in order to make this dream a bless- ed reality. Of these, 2,718 are detected in the possesion of sealskin sacques, and are made to pay duty thereon 19 openly ac- knowledge their possession of the dutiable garment, and after failing to bribe the in- spectors with smiles and sweet words, pay tne duty, and the rest of the 17,000 success- fully smuggle their purchases. Now, when we think what the act of smuggling sealskin sacque through the custom-house involves, the falsehoods that must be told and sworn to the loss of self- respect consequent upon the commission of perjury and fraud, and the terrible strain upon the temper that results from making a sealskin sacque temporarily take the place cf the delicate and esoteric cambric fabrics said by experts to be worn by ladies in the summer season, we comprehend the sealskin sacque is a fearfully demoralizing garmett. Women who would never think of smuggling steel rails, hemp rope, or English blankets can not resist the temptation, to smuggle sealskin sacques. and we shall probably never know the vast extent of the demoral- ization which the'gratification of this propen- sity entails. Tbe early GIrL The girly girl, says the Philadelphia Pro- gress, is the truest girl. She is what she seems, and not a sham and a pretense. The slangy girl has a hard job of it not to forget her character. The buy girl Mid the rafud girl are likewise wearers of maaka. l^e A Canadian Ramaace. Thirty-six yejirs ago, according to the Montreal Star, there lived in that pleasant little town down the river called Sorel very little it was then â€" it youth and a maid en. The name of the youth was George Beaupre, the name of the maiden Mary Ann Pearce. They belonged to families of mod- erate circumstances. He, with the strength and devotion of yonn^ manhood, loved this maiden, and wooed her with that earnest- ness which only such a lover can. He was given every enconn^ement was, some say, actually accepted was congratnkting him' tell, at least, on the smooth coursing M true love, when suddenly a rival amieared, and everything fw him tamed back. The rival was one Jacob Savage trfthe same town. Fretty soon she and Savage were married and settled down in the place, and then young Beannre'a hope diedoat, ^tof^to work on as before, bat could not. He closed up hia buaineas, settled up his afEaurs and started to the far west, toward ^hich »o many adventurous .spirits were about that time shaping their course. From that day to within a few weeks ^o he had not set foot in this part of Canada. He had worked hard, saved carefully, pros- pered and laid up property worth t least $200,000. He had never married. He was getting up toward 60 years of age. Several weeks ago he took an idea to go back once more to see his friends, and he started east. He searched out relatives in Sorel and Mont real, but found few that he remembered. He inquired for the woman, who, as a girl, had so many years before thrown him over- board for a rival. They told him she was widowed her husband had been dead many years she had been living several years in Montreal ;he went to call upon her; met her, •jjid then He found her getting old, m poor circumstances, with several children, but that made no difference; he saw only the girl of thirty six years before. Oi\S**' urday they were married by his lordship Bishop Fabre, the wealthy bridegroom being content with no other dignitary than the highest in that part of the country. He has bestowed all the happiness that wealth and affection can upon bis bride and her chil- dren, and in a short time tney will go to his house in the Black Hills. FllrtlnK With Street-Car Conductors. "It isn't our fault always, depend on that, and there isn't as much of it done as ' some of the oflcials would have the public believe." The speaker was a conductor on one of the Pittsburgh street-car lines, and he uttered the above remark in answer to the question of a reporter on the subject of flirtation. " What interest have some of the officials of the road in making the public believe con- ductors are as a general rule, inclined to engage in surreptitious courting with their female passengers " inquired the reporter. "Why, simply this: They have several 'spotters' at work on the road. These 'spot- ters' find that two or three conductors are beating the company systematically. It is a hard thing to {.-rove that a street-car csn- ductor is a thief, and so the best thing to be done with a suspected man is to 'fire' him from his position. Perhaps three go at a time, and in answer to the inquisitive the superintendeut or secretary says he was discharged for flirting with women on his car." "But is there no flirting done " Why, certainly there is, and as I say, it isn't all our fault. A pretty giil gets in your car ;and for half-way to the city sits and stares you in the face or may be gives you an encouraging smile inviting familiar- ity. What can you expect of a young fel- low but that he will respond suitably? Mar- ried conductors are not invulnerable to wo- men's coquetry. Why, I know one woman on Penn avenue that watches day and night for one man's car, and every time it passes the conductor responds to the wave of the handkerchief. Such things sometimes re- sult in the ruin of families, but aa a general thing the flirtation amounts to nothing, though once ina while the presumptuous con- ductor gets thumped for his trouble by some big brother." " W^hat class of women flirt witn street- car men " " Oh, school girls mostly, and giddy mar- ried women, who carry their husband's hon- or in their hand. Depend on it, though, no woman that thinks anything of herself will flirt with a conductor." Where to Pnt a Kiss. An esteemed young friend of Hamilton asks a funny question. He wants to know where he shall put his kisses. Probably any number of people, without much thought, would rush rapidly forward to tell him all about it and consider the conundrum a per- fectly easy one. The problem, however, is really very difficult, and any one who has had experience enough to know what kissing is will shrink from quick or direct advice on the Subject. As a matter of course the young man who h«s kisses to give away will g ve them to his girl if she is willing if she isn't willingâ€" but this is so improbable that it would ba a waste of time to say anything about it. If a young man who has no girl of his own he will naturally â€" such is the waywardness of human nature â€" find some one else's girls or â- girls, and to some a good many girls is not too much of a good thing. They say it isn't such a bad thing sometimes when you find yoji have kissed the wrong girl, if there can be any wrong girl in a matter like that. But the trouble on the young man's mind seems to be regardin;| the proper place for the kiss. He does not feel certain whether he should kiss his girl on the lips, or the forehead, or the chin, or the cheek, or the hand. There are some young men who would regard the poore.t of all these chances as the extreme of bliss. But such young men lack the snap and enterprise which a wide-awake and desirable girl rather likes. The young man who hesitates and trifles with uncertainty about the proper site upon which to build his kiss will lose the delight of kiss- ing. If thpre were a worse fate he would deserve it. Thens is, however, no worse fate. Kissing the hand is a very neat but color- less sort of compliment. It is uneatisfactory to both parties, they say. We are also re- liably informed that kissing the forehead or the chm is a cold sort of tlung and not large- ly indulged in by people of good taste. The cheek, if not too hard, is understood to be very fair kissing ground, but good judges have very generally agreed upon the lips aa offering superior inducements. K his mouth is not too lai^ or the gin's month is not too small, or if the girl's mouth is not too large and his too small, perhaps the young man who wants advice had better stick to the lips. If there is anything sweet in a kis* â€"and doubtless there isâ€" he will find it there. "Well madame, how's your husband to- day?" "Why, doctor, he's no better." "Did you get the leeches f "Yes, but he only took three of thmn rawâ€" I bad to frr the rest." -V ' Brack upâ€" Your system fdr wiwk, Zop- KSA, the new Dyspeptia and Liver rMnedy. attends strict^ to bosinest m conecting Ote Straaachj Idver and Kidneys. Sample bottles, 10 centa; largo bottlei, 75 ceST In aa inteterting article on j»rlntin« in ClSa The North China JIerald«iyH that the first great promoter ol the «t of pnnt- ing was Feng Ying Wang, who in 932 A. D. SfvSd thelmiSor to^^ the Co^ia«an chuudcs printed with wooden blocks eDgrav- ed for te purpose. The first books were printed in a regular manna, juid in pur- Lance of a delree in 953. .The ^ICt compass and rockets were ^mjefted about the Same time, showing that at this period men's minds were much stirred toward in- vention. Twenty years after the edict the blocks of theclassics were pronounced rMd and were put on sale. Large-sized editions, which were the only ones printed at first, were soon succeeded by pocket editions. The works printed ucder the Lung emperors at Hangchow were celebrated for their beauty those of western China came next, and those of Fokhein last. Moveable types of copper and lead were tried about the same time but it was thought that mistakes were more numerous with them, and there- tore the fixed blocks were prepared. Paper made from cotton was tried, but it was so expensive that the bamboo made paper held its ground. In the Sung dynasty the method was also tried of engraving on soft clay and afterward hardening it by baking. The separate characters were not thicker than ordinary copper coin. Each of i,h^m was in fact a seal. An ironplate was prepareJ.with a facing of turpentme, wax, and the ashes of burnt paper. Over this was placed an iron frame, in which the clay types we-e set up unt 1 it was full. The whole was then sufficiently heated t? melt the wax facing. An iron plate was placed above the types, making them perfectly level, the wax beingJjufct soft enough to allow the types to sink into the proper depth. This being done it would be possible to print several hundred or thousand copies with great rapidity. Two forms prepared in this way were ready for the pressman's use so that when he had done with one he would proceed with another without delay. Here is undoubtedly the principle of the printing-press ot Europe, although western printers can dispense with a soft wax bed for types and can obtain a level Eufface without this device. Perhaps the need of capital to lay in a stock of types, the want of a good type-m^tal easily cut and sufficient- ly hard, and the superior beauty of the Chinese characters when carved in wood, have prevented the wide employment of the moveable types which are so convenient for all alphabetic writing. The inventor of this mode of printing in moveable types five centuries before they were inveuted in Europe was named Pi Sheng. 'TPT' Distance of the Sun. The problem of the sun's distance is of paramount importance, and fully justifies the outlay of brain, labor, and money lavish- ed on the transit of Venus which it is hoped will correct past errors. It is the unit or yardstick of celestial measurement, the stand- ard by which everything outside of the earth in the material universe is measured, excepting the di^itance of the moon. A mistake here makes all celestial computation inaccurate, the dia- meter of every planet, the radius of evcy orbit,the distance of every star. This, the nea' est fixed star in the northern hemisphere is 61 Cygui. Its distance is estimated at about 366,000 times the sun's distance or earth's radius. This means 366,000 t'lnes 92, 885,000 miles. If there be an error of half a million miles in this estimate of the sun's distance, it will readily be seen that the error in the star's distance takes on gigantic pro- portions. The 6th December will therefore be a great day on the annals of the nineteenth century. Transit observers will do their utmost to ob- tain a more accurate determination of the sun's distance, if they do not reach perfect success, and there is little hope of such a re- sult, they will have the satisfaction of feeling that the} are laboring in a noble cause. For the observations made during the transit of 18S2 will be a rich legacy to aid the astrono- mers who, 122 years hence, will observe the next transit in 2004. We can only wish for good weather and good luck to the brave adventurers, and join in the prayer of the great astronomer, Halley, who, from an observation of the transit of Mercury in 1677 at St. Helena, was the first to discover the scientific import of transits; In recommending to future astronomers a careful observation of the transit of 1761, he says, in closing: "May Heaven favor their observation with the mast perfect weather. And when they shall have attained their object, and de- termined as well as they can our distance from the sun, let them remember that it was an Englishman who first conceived this fortunate idea." â€" Scientific American. Dr. Talmage Describes a Good Woman. You see hundreds of men who are sacaess- ful only because there is a reason at home why they arc successful. If a man marry a good, honest soul he makes his fortune; if he marry a fool, the Lord help him. The wife may be a silent partner in the firm. There may be only masculine voices down on the exchange, but there often comes from the home circle a potential and elevating in- fluence.
