TYPES OF BEAUTY.
Murkhi of Good Books in One Country
Are Taboo Somewhere Else.
The open season for beauty contests
is a reminder thut the geography of
beuuty is as diversified as the geogratf
phy of food and fashion.
Often what one people may consider
personal blemishes are marks of
beauty in other countries, says a bulletin
from the Washington, I). ('.
headquarters of the National Geogra- !
|)hic society. For example, moles are I
considered especially ap|>ealing in
Egypt. Blobs of flesh resembling huge
warts are supposed to beautify the
faces of the women of some Belgian
Congo tribes.
Many of the "ugliest" types of
beauty, according to American ami
European tastes, are found among
African tribes. Particularly ugly are
the female faces deformed by cicatrisation,
which is accomplished by rubbing
mud into open sores until they
swell In permanent ridges. Cicatrization
in an oyster shell pattern on the
Chin, cheeks and forehead is supposed
to enchance the appeal of the women
of some Central African tribes.
The most odoriferous of African
beauties arc the Ethiopian women
who smear their hair with rancid
butter. In hot weather they are attended
constantly by a regiment of
dies. Since tho butter is only removed
about three times a year,
shampoos are negligible factoi -.
The beauties of the Mangbettii
tribe of Central Africa adopt a hairdress
that resembles a Grecian urn
lying on its side. They bind their hair
in a tight coil ami the hair that is
drawn back is cm loscd in a large Hat
disk. With this skin-tight hairdress,
into which long metal pins have been
inserted, and their prominent features,
they form striking pictures.
The slant-eyed sub-debutante Ixmuty
of Cambodia in Indo-China also
affects a distinctive coiffure. Until
womanhood is reached, her hair ?s
cut off, with the exception of a single
tuft on the top of her head. This tuft
is inclos<d in a little wooden or metal
1k?w1, around which the head is shaven.
When womanhood is reached,
the howl is removed and the rest of
the hair is allowed to grow. However
it never reaches any great longti
and is stiff from tepontcd shavings i:
the past.
Coconut oil is th,- cold ? ream of th
MiiiMfin Glands. Unlike America:
w mum. who disguise-! the use of Cm
cold cream with application- of p>w

wreut " - of pawpaw blossoms or cow
i;e shells whit h they wear.
The iH-uat es of the island of Ma
laita, in the Solomon group, are fe
rtxrious looking creatures with hvigi
fuzzy mops of hair. Through the sep
turns of their noses they plunge Ion
skewers which are supposed to in'
part extreme beauty to their countc
nances. The skewers are made r
various materials, gilt nails, string
of beads, small tusks, cured, shelle
tufts of dried grass and long ban
l>oo or bone plugs.
Startling color effects are achieve
by the women in other parts of tf
Solomon Islands. They bleach the
kinky hair white with a paste mat
from coral lime. An arch of lime
applied over each eyebrow. Straigl
4inea of lime cross each cheek at
meet at the chin. The coral pas
adornment is useful as well as deco
utivo. It destroy* vermin.
Big ears are considered beautiful
on the Island of Borneo in the Dutch
Mast Indies. The women insert heavy
rin^s ;n the lobes of their ears until
they gradually yield to the weight
and assume the desired ehuracter of
vjpng loops. These often hang below
the shoulddr an<l th?' beauties adorn
them with heavy rings.
Henry W. Grady > Tribute To The
Country Home.
"A few Sundays ago I stood on a
hill in Washington. My heart thrilled
as I looked on the towering marble
of my country's Capitol, and a mist
gathered in my eyes as I thought of
its tremendous significance. It seemed
to me the best und mightiest sight
that the sun could find in its wheeling
course und I felt that if wisdom
und justice and honor abided therein,
the world would stand indebted i
to this temple on which my eyes rested,
and in w>hich the ark of my covenant
was lodged for its final uplifting
and regeneration.
"A few days later I visited a country
home. A modest, quiet house
sheltered by great trees and set in a
circle of field and meadow, gracious
with the promise of harvest; barns
and cribs well filh-d and the old
smokehouse odorous with treasure;
tin- fragrance of pink and hollyhock
mingling with the aroma of garden
and orchard, and resonant with the
hum of bees and poultry's busy clucking:
inside the house., thrift, comfort,
and that cleanliness that is next, to
godliness.
"Outside ??tood the master, strong
ami wholesome and upright; wearing
no man's collar; with no mortgage
on his roof, and no lien on his
ripening harvest; pitching his crops
in his own wisdom, and selling them
in his own time in his chosen market;
master of his lands and master of
himself.
"And as I gazed the memory of the
great Capitol faded front my brain.
Forgotten its treasures and its splendor.
And I said, "Surely here?here
in homes of the people is lodginl the
Ark of the Covenant of my country!
Here is its majesty and its strength!
; Hero the beginning of its power and
the end of its responsibility!"

MAOKA8 18 FLAT CITT
Floods 1 if ought On By Moiwoon
Kaiits (May Havoc In India
From Madras, India, where winds
have so often wreaked havoc, corns*
words of the floods brought on by
the monsoon rains in southern India.
"Madras with its highest point but
22 feet above the sea, is one of the
world's flattest cities," says a bulletin
from the Washington headquarters
of the National Geographic Society.
"It lies on the Bay of Bengal
on the southeast coast of India. The
site of the city and the surrounding
countryside are so flat that ships entering
the harbor cannot see farther
than the first row of the city's buildings.
"The harbor of Madras is 'too shallow
for seagoing vessels to get near
shore. Passengers and cargo are
transported ashore in masula boats,
made of long planks bound together
by cocoanut fiber, or on catamaran
rafts. The rise and fall of the tide
off this part of the coast is only between
three and four feet daily. '
"The city lies sprawled out along
the coast, being spaced at intervals
by estuaries and two sluggish rivers,
the Cooum and the Adynr. Its wide
avenues are shaded by tall palms and
banyan trees, some of which are So
large that they arch across the
streets. It is these trees which make
the Marina, Madras' famous sea front
promenade, agreeable for walking on
the hottest days.
"The houses of the more prosperous
citizens are set in compounds
which look like parks. Sometimes
rice fields divide these compounds
and give the landscape the aspect of
a country village spread out over a
large area. Cannas and other flbwers
bloom riotously in the gardens, making
vivid spots of color against the
tropical greenness. Many of . the
principal shops are fronted with gardens.
Kverything in Madras is on a
wide scale. F.ven in the native quarters
of Triplicane and George Town,
the houses are not built so closely as
in othi-r Indian cities.
"Numerous parks intensify the
impression of space in the city. In
the 116 acres which form the Peoples
Park are 11 artificial lakes, an
athletic ground, a large zoo, numerous
excellent tennis courts and a
bandstand. Rare trees, shrubs and
plants 'beautify the 22 acres of the
Horticultural Gardens.
"A visitor to Madras get* the iiupredion
that the Madras*, both nalive
aud Anglo-Indian, are ardent ex
poiiciits of higher education. There
is a state university, many professional
and art colleges; and the Madras
Christian College with its numerous
buildings is one of the largest
colleges in India. Pacheappa College
was founded about a hundred years
ago when higher education was. unknown
in Madras. Its founder was a
far-seeing and benevolent Hindu.
Madras has a Y. M. C. A. housed in
a large red sandstone building, presented
to the city by a famous American
philanthropist.
"Al>out a tenth of Madras' half
million population is Christian. Hindus
form the largest part with Mohammedans
second, but the Christian
aggregation is almost as large us the
Mohammedan. The Roman Catholic
Cathedral of St. Thomas was founded
by the Portuguese in 1504. The
earthly remains of St. Thomas are
Supposed to lie beneath its floors.
| "Madras is an old city in AngloIndian
history. It was the first large
Settlement made by the old Ease
India company, which was given a
charter by Queen Elizabeth. The
cloth which the merchants of the
'company obtained from the natives
was called madras. They also traded
for percalla, which we know as percale.
Elihu Yale, of Boston, for
I whom Vale university was named,
was one of the early governors.
Madras city is capital of the Madras
presidency and contains the governmental
buildings. Many of these are
of rare beauty, but they are spread
out over the community in such a
way that their effectiveness is lost.'*
A six-wheeled motor car has been
built for the king of England. It is designed
to travel over the roughest
moors and broken giound. It has deta
liable caterpillar treads of rubber
for eal rough ground. On the open
road it has a speed of 150 miles per
hour.
Kou: persons were injured at Eureka.
Utah, Tuesday, when the airplane
they were riding in, crashed
against the side of the city hail at'
that place.
Sixty million pounds of tobacco
were smoked in the United Kingdom
of Great Britain during the five
months of this year.
