Factors in Ideal Beauty?Importance ol Expression?Rules for Determining the Pcriection ol Different Features. <pv OOD-LOOKING ^ .. *7 feminine faces are frequent enough, f f >?l but the question as ICw a to what constitutes t\fl?&r\ a ?f bcaut* i v J VvfviiorVi nffon oalro^ fis rarely answered to the perfect satisfaction of the questioner, or any one else. The reason, says the New York Advertiser, is found in the fact that no two races of men?or to make the statement stronger, no two individual men?ever have the same ideal. Undoubtedly an important factor in ideal beauty of face is found in the shape of the countenance. No face badly formed can be beautiful, but the question naturally arises, What is a badly * J ' 0 T"!-- """ <> '01 nniniftn amonc lornieu lace? iuc vr. 0 the esthetics is that a feminine face, to be of eood form, should be a perfect oval. A forehead too high or too low, a chin too long or too short, cheek bones too strong, any one of a dozen other shortcomings, may mar the symmetry of the whole, and so spoil a face otherwise perfect. This symmetry is not commonly found?indeed, it is so rarely encountered as to be almost purely ideal. Even the Greeks found it so seldom among their women that their most beautiful AN AMERICAN GIRL. statues are rather creations than likenesses. While the human form may be built on strictly mathematical principles, yet the attempt to apply exact mathematics to every portion wiil invariably result in the discovery that no human form is perfect. In'a theoretically perfect face the distance from the point of the chin to the roots of the hair on the forehead is divided into three equal spaces?from the rtf fVio hair ts\ a *\r\[r%f hotvrnprt flVlA t UVM V/4 KUV UUli kU W VUWfT VVM WMV eyebrows where the nose commences, from that to the tip of the nose, and thence to the tip of the chin. The face should be exactly twice as long as its width at the height of the eyes, while each eye should be the width of the mouth, and the distance between them should eqaal the width of one eye. To be perfect, the upper lip should De as long as one-half the distance from the lower lip to the chin, while a line drawn perpendicularly down from the lips should touch the chin, and drawn upward should pass through the lope of the nostril half way between the tip and the base. The ear should be at the height of the ejgp, and when the profile ' is examined, the distance from the tip of the nose to cheek should be one-half the length of the nose. Beginning with the chin, the ideal face has a cbiu of only moderate prominence. A chin too large give to the feminine countenance too much of masculine strength; besides, a prominent chin a oatttit nr pcht ivtt f apr. indicates big jaws, and big jaws presuppose large teeth and a voracious appetite. A prominent chin indicates will power, determination, and overbearing disposition, and no woman is willing to be thought domineering. On the other hand a chin too little or- receding indicates weekness?perhaps of health, it may be of character. A very small chin to indicative of small ;ind nnssihlv HpH_ cient teeth, frequently far apar, poor digestion and consequent bad health, and no one can be beautiful ideally or otherwise, who has poor health, for health is the fouudation ot beauty. As much depends 011 the nose as on the chin. The nose of the ideal beauty is of generous proportions. It must be so to indicate self demand, sound judgment and discretion. Whether the nose be straight or hooked, Greek, Komau or Jewish, matters little. Either may be beautiful, but in either case the uose must be large enough to indicate its own individuality and that of its owner. Between the nose and the chin lies the mouth, the perfection of which is the most essential element of beauty, for although every other feature may be ideally perfect, a bad mouth will spoil the symmetry of the whole countenauce. The size of the mouth, within reasonable bound, is not material, although, of course, it should not be too large in proportion to the face, the size of the ' latte* being the only criterion of judjj racnt, since a mouth quite big enough | for one face would appear ludicrously j small if set in another, and a mouth 1 quite in proportion with the face \ A FRENCH BEAfTT. ; to which it belongs will, if transferred j to the physiognomy of another, almost I stretch from ear to ear. All these things ; are matters of proportion, and those are | probably not far wrong who assert that i a mouth one and a half times the width ; of the eye is in proportion and correct. | The upper lip should be bow shaped, i while the lower should form the arc of i a circle, and to be ideally beautiful the | lower lip should show more red than the j upper. The lips should be only moderately full. The forehead is the characteristic [ feature of the human race, for no ani | mal, save toe eiepnant, uas wum majr : properly be called a forehead. The | forehead of the ideal beauty i8 low and broad, rather than high and commanding. A high forehead generally indicates the possession of brains, and the ideal beauty is not supposed to have any. A. low forehead is almost a9 bad as one too high, since it betokens animality of nature. The eyes are a leading attribute of ideal beauty. Of course they should be straight, that is to say, at right angles with the nose, for eyes turned up at the outer angle are Mongolian, and turned down give an unmistakable expression of slyness or roggery. Eyes half open, exhibiting a narrow opening between the lids, are indicative of deceitfulness, while wide open eyes are characteristic of impudence, of aggressiveness without nprspveranrfi. of brazen insoledce. The r~ ? ? color is a matter of little consequence, but in passing it should be understood that there is a common mistake with regard to the color of the human eye. No iris is one of solid color; all are streaked, I mottled, speckled or spotted, and the predominance of one color gives an impreasion that the whole eye is thus tinted. The eyelashes should be long and dark in order properly to shade the IP BERN IN STRIA. eye; the eyebrows should be arched and moderately heavy; a deficiency in either lash or brow is a marked deformity. The eyelashes should surround the eye in such a way :is to close it, and thus i materially aid in giving it expression. It is often supposed that the eye alone is expressive and receives no assistance from its surroundings. But this is a great mistake. The ideally beautiful face is surrounded by a suit of abundant hair. The question as to whether this is blonde or brunette is not important, for there are great painters on either side, and if we count the light browns among the blondes and the dark browns among the | brunettes the numbers of the two classes j are about equal. The neck is a very important item of ! beauty. It should be of medium length. 1 That is, the distance from the collarbone to the chin when the head is in a natural position should be about one-half the length of the face, or from the upper tip ot the ear to the collar bone should be the length of the countenance. A long neck is ungraceful, suggesting emaciation; a short neck is equally so, being cha-acteristic of embonpoint, not to say dumpiness. But in each and every case the heigth of the figure must j furnish the unit ot measurement, and all , parts must bear correspondence to this. , The face of the ideal beauty is generI ally of clear white with a tinge of pink j in the cheeks, and lips of a bright red. I The color of the face should be an ivory i not a chalk white; the latter is unnatui ral and ghastly, nor is the fiush of fever : agreeable to the eye. A color too /Jilli!

The New "Siamise' Twin?. The new Siamese twiDS do not come from Siam, says the Pall Mall Gazette. They are natives of Ori98-i, in India, and the following description is sent to us by a correspondent, who saw them the other day in Poonah: The name9 of the children are Radica and Doddica. The two little ;*irls are three and a half years old and are really pretty children. The peculiarity ot their connection is that there is a flexible bony attachment from breast to breast, and below this there is a visceral connection. There is only one navel. The children were born in a caul. If food is given to one, the other is satisfied, and if medicsne is administered to one the other is affected, but not to the same extent as the one Jo which it was given. The most curious circumstance is that when a sentence is bepun by one child the other frequently fin| ishes it. When sleeping one child lies | on her back, and the other on her side, which gives an idea of the great flexibility of the connection. The children are very good friends, and seldom quarrel, but when younger'their proceedings were not marked by that unanimity which they have since discovered to be essential to their circumstances. As , might be expected, when their relations Ml? < /m&mmk; became strained there was considerable teasion between them, but when it , gradually dawned upon their infantile , intelligences that when one wa9 hurt the , other had to cry out of sheer sympathy, ] a mutual understanding was arrived at that "lows" should be discontinued, and now balmy peace reigns supreme. For their age, the twins are particularly intelligent. They have been taught Englisa for the hist three months, and, although they do not speak more than a few simple words, they seem to I "* r _ - t II _ i 1. I understand it iainy wen aire<iuy. xuc twins have excited a good deal of interest among the medical profession in India, and there is little doubt that their appearance in London and America will be welcomed by scientists no less than by the unscientific sightseer. j ? ? i Stranffe Us; For a Skeleton. 1 In America skeletons are neither legal j teuder nor muniments of title, but it is different at the antipodes?in that as in 1 maDV other things. In New Zealand, for instance, a European cannot acquire , title to a new piece of land till the indi- < vidual Maori title is extinguished, and , that has to be done before a native land ( court. In this court the 4*Tobungas," or -judges of local law, declare that there is no valid title unless the last preceding { owner's thoracic skeleton is produced. j It appears that among the Maoris, when the land of a late descendent becomes the property of another man. the i Tue Nictfra.ua C'aual t The committee appointed bv the Na- ^ tional Nicaragua Canal Convention at its 6 meeting in St. Louis to prepare an ad- ' dress to the American people giving in- 1 formation as to the feasibility of the ? Nicaragua Canal and its commercial and c other advantages to the United Stales, has just finished the preparation of such i address. , f The address is supplementary to the C rpsmliitinna adjoted bvtheSt. Louis Con- c vention, which pointed out the advan- 3 tages ot the canal and urged its construct tion, ownership and control by . the American people rather than the English, French or any other Nation. It takes the position that a canal, joining the Atlantic aud Pacific Oceans, should be constructed for the mo9t important commercial, strategic and patriotic reasons, and says that the subject of such a canal is the most vital connected with the welfare, growth and prosperity of the United State*. It declares that the only feasible route for such a canal is by way of Nicaragua, and points out that the conveutions of the two great two political parties have endorsed the project. It appears that all the engineers have agreed in expressing a decided preference for the Nicaragua route, because, among other reasons, only 2t>? miles of the entire distance of 169J- miles from h the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean through 11 Nicaragua will have to be excavated, i r 2?r Xf. -4 o y?x ^mrrSv>fc : v$a?*S> o : *1 * * !i I * bird's-kye view op th The other 142J miles consist of Luke i Nicaragua, the San Juan River and de- ] pressions in the surface of the earth. !

This is a fact before the eyes of all, and no one would dare to dispute the claims of the holder of such paramount evidence. So in the pleadings before the native & THE SKELETON PAKBOT CAGE. courts the occupant makes a speech after this fashion: "My ancestor conquered your ancestor and killed msny of your tribe. He ate your ^ancestor's legs and arms, cut off and curcd his head for an ornament, and of his chest, which was caDacious and round, he made a cage in which to keep his decoy parrots, the ribs serving as bars, from between which the parrot could look out, and many people came to admire my ancestor's parrot cage and the land which was seized and held even unto this day."?New York Recorder. A l'omological Giant. Here is a great big apple which Mr. M. V. Cox sends to the Republic all the way from Silver City, N. M. It is for. tnally entered as the champion apple of America. In his letter Mr. Cox says: "Last year you mentioned the big apple from Arkansas which measured 17$ inches in circumference. I ship by today's expre# prepaid, 'The Republic A.pple,' a sample of New Mexican fruit for exhibition. It is eighteen inches in circumference and weighs two pounds 2} ounces. It is from the fruit ranch at Colonel W. L. Thompson, of this county." This description has been verified in the Republic editorial rooms. Placed upon exact postoffice scales this apple weighs two pounds l? ounces, having lost perhaps by drying about an ounce moisture since it was weighed in Silver City. Its longest diameter is a little over six inches, which corresponds to a circumference of eighteen inches, and its thickness is 4} iuches.?St Louis Republic.

The climate of Nicaragua is lealthy, and out of 1600 northern men employed in constructing a railroad hrough a swamp only two died during i period of four months. O. 200 northirn engineers and skilled mechanics who iave worked for the canal company fot hree years not one has died from a dissase incident to the country. All surveys and examination of strata equiring removal have been completed, rhe jetty has been constructed and the larbor of Greytown has beea restored so ;hat vessels of fourteen-feet draft have in easy entrance. Extensive wharves, anding places and permanent buildings iuve been constructed, temporary camps ;rected, a telegraph line made, the canal beared of timber for twenty miles, and i railrcad twelve miles in length con itructed and equipped. The biggest iredging plant in America, that formjrly used at Panama, has been purchased, ind over a mile of the canal has been Iredged. The exclusive franchise for ^ 4pr E NICARAGUA CANAL. the steam navigation of the San Juan River and Lake Nicaragua and an extensive plant for the Navigation Company tiave been acquired. The Government sf Nicaragua has acknowledged that the company has complied with the canal jrar.t, which provided that $2,000,000 roust be expended the first year. It is ihown that the amount of money spent :o date on the enterprise is over $6,J00,000. Once Wa* Enough for the Monkeys. ,4I ( nco went up the Amazon and Ori noco rivers on an animal-capturing ex pedition for the late P. T. Barnum,' said Dick Cowper, an old showman. "1 got quite a collection of snakes, birdi and monkeys. I hit on a novel plan toi the capture of the latter and it workcc like a charm. "A monkey is a greater imitator than a Chinaman. He will do anything ht tees done, and thai, is what gets so many of his kind into the cagc. I rigged up an electric battery and attached to it an apparatus that would allow a score of the Bimiacs to get bold of it. I then took a party of natives and went into the forest where there were troops of monkeys. We put the apparatus down, attached the wire, and removed the battery to a con siderable distance. The natives then took hold of the apparatus, danced and yelled, then retired. The monkeys made a dash for it. Half a dozen caught hold, and I turned on the current. They began to shriek and squirm, but the others thought their pei forraance a part of the programme, and fairly fell over each other to get hoid of the machine. I could have stuck the whole troop in they could have got hold. We then made f descent on them with sacks, and soon had a score of them corralled. "But it would only woik once. "We tried it a month afterward at a point fifty miles distant, but not a mockey came off his perch in the trees.

In a recent study of the anatomical structure of the neck, writes the author of "Curious Notes," I was struck with the remarkable fact that men and animals alike are almost invariablv Drovided with seven neck vertebrae or segments. Man thus possesses this number in common with the giraffe, whose extraordinary elongation of ncck i9 produced, not by the introduction of other vertebra, but by the greater length of the normal uumbtr?seven. The only exceptions to this rule of seven are found in two species of sloth, one of which has six and the other nine vertebra, and in theSirenia or "sea cow," a species of whale, which is also provided with a six-segmented elongation or extension of the spiDal column. In view of the fact that the seven invades eveiy department of life, is it any wonder that the Orientals have lounaea a regular system of philosophy based upon that mystic number.?St. Louis Reoubiic.
