New York. Oct. 4.—On the stage, in the
rewsrupers, bv the novelists, and among
the people who discuss things, to-day the
-..Triage question is again to the fore. Why
men don’t marry and why women don't
marr. is talKed over and talked over until
jx would seem as if the subject were worn
tnm.dbare, but it is always taken np again
at the next meeting.
A bachelor's marriage dream.
I h ;:ril a man say the other night, a man
who hid been educated in the most con
servative manner, and who had seen much
of life “What I w tut is a companion who
sill t’- affectionate. Ido not look for an
ideal love X do not expect to find an angel,
I tot X would like to meet a companion aud a
rou trade- one who. when i wanted to be
ulcut didn't care to talk; ore who, when I
| wanted to discus* a Book, a picture or a bit
' C f new* "oulti bo interested in it; one wno
would bo on one side of the fireside when I
.as on the other and would make for me a
kon.e. And ye lam not willing to bind
EV-'ilf to any woman, i will cot, even with
, wedding ring, be tied.” Sweet selfishness,
this was!
little marriage sermon.
I told hitn this, and felt myself a de
fender in the cause of matrimony:
••You will never get what you wish ex
tent in a wife. The wife mokes the home,
flakes the h me feeling, and is sufficiently
bTing and unselfish to givo in to the whims
ud vagaries of a man. The other woman
M v iutrre-t you. may be amusing, you
S av admire her beauty, you may tie proud
if her wit, but she never con make the
ia e for your soul to rest in—that must be
ecu cied by a golden band. As for ties—
aoties are so strong as ;ho-e that bind a
™ : . to his sms and none so difficult to
trade.
HOW WOMEN REGARD MARRIAGE.
“As to marriage, wemen are getting to look
ati: m a much more sensible way than do
reus And a woman just as earefitliy thinks
out what sort of a companion she is going
to have as she does what sort of a home she
intends to make for him. It goes without
saying that she loves him. For women are
more essentially sensitive of flash than men,
acu seldom marry where they dislike. Jan
uary and June do occasionally wed, X>ut
usually June has gone c-maytng with
young love, had her heart hurt and
is willing to accept a more or less
chilling affection from January and
to In- satisfied. Every woman cxn
marry, e ten those with wooden legs, for if
she can’t marry a mao who will be a com
panion to her, she can marry a man ske can
take care of; and r.n my honor, there are
women in this w orld in whom the maternal
is so strongly developed that the greatest
happiness ot their married life is taking
care of the man who ought to be looking
sftor them. Bet it is just a question of
taste, and if you prefer to cure for Charlie
and to study out how his life shall be easy,
and I prefer to care for Jack, and believe it
is his duty to study out how mine shall be
Biade most comfortable, that is entirely
your business and mine.
MARRIAGE IS NOT DECLINING.
“ffust us many people get married uow as
ever dia, and it is something tnat will
sever, never go out of fashion. Fast men
may ravo ugainst it, crack-brain novelists
may writo against it, and morbid souls may
icoan over it, but ever-since the first mar
riage in the garden of Eden wo have all
lad more cr less of an inclination to go and
do likewise. Some marry and repeat and
lome vepeut because they don’t marry; but
ss for anybody excepting a wife making a
borne for a man—why, it is utter non
sense !’’ It is nendless to say that after this
tirade even the selfish brute iu the shape of
s man who bail given his opinion in the
beginning, wilted—Wilted perceptibly, aud
my heart throbs with a proud beat as I
think it possible that I have made a con
vert. Between you and me, I am hoping
that some nice rosy-faced girl who has just
[otten back from the seaside will, assist iu
;he conversion, make him a more sensible
man and a husband.

exactly eighteen incurs. Her sailor
tot was tlltad over her face and her
short hair showed fluffy ail about it. But
it was at her waist and her feet that one
must look to see bar charm. No matter how
shabby her frock, her shoes ere as bright
and her stockings as black as posuole. She
rather fancied sta-ding some plaon near the
corner talking to the heavy villain of the
play, and sometimes quite unconsciously
one hand would go on her hip and one foot
would come out from under hsr skirt, as if
she was just going to do a little bit of a
dan* - ©. She was laughi. g always—she
laughed as she was drinking soda water, be-
Cuuie it was so cool, and sue laughed wnen
she was eating ciaru chowder, because it was
so hot. She dicin’: seem to have a care in
the world, but, dear soul, we didn’t know
what her cares were. She was just a girl
who danced and sang in a sort of variety
play, and yet somehow when I pass the
corner, aud she isn’t there, and I ramembsr
the heavy villain, I do hope he isn’t playing
his part off the stage as well us on it, aid I
just make one of those strong wishes that in
the sight cf God are prayers, that next
summer’s sunshine may loos down on the
little soubrotte as merry as ever and o.i the

WHAT SHE WISHED FOR AND GOT.
Do you ever wish? Do you remember
that Swedenborg said, “.Man, beware of
tuat which thou wishes! with intensity, for
it will surely coiue unto you?” Well, the
other day I was taken to a wishing well,
and, thinking this over, I got very much
frightened, aud concluded not to wish any
thing very much for myßelf, but to do a lot
of wishing for other people.
So I wished that I might have anew pair
of shoestrings. I got them.
I wished i hat t might have some new silk
stocking! 1 got them.
I wished that I might have a birthday
cake. I got it.
I wished that women were more loving,
children more polite and men less selfish. I
don’t know whether that’s come true or
not yet.
I wished that somebody would write some
good boo its, b:oks that were interesting,
liooks that were bright, without a nasty
idea for the plot. I got a few of these, prin
cipally Kipling’s and Jerome's.
I wished that tse girls might get nil the
pretty clothes they warned and their
fathers lie willing to pay the bill. Toe re-
from this wish havo not come in yot.
I vrislied that women never had to do a
bit of work except that which comes in their
character as the boadof the household. Ev
idently I didn’t wish this with enough in
tensity, for it wasn’t answered.
I wished that mea weren’t so snappish
when they won questioned about the roason
why tr ey didn’t come after you in time to
go to the theater. Tills wish seemed to go
to the very bottom of the well, and will
probably be found when trutn is disc ivered.
Then I grew selfish, and I wished that I
might like evorybody, nnd everybody might
like me, and that I could have all tho books
and pictures and habit sin the world. Out
of regard for the people with whom I live,
nothing has been ueard of this wish. Curi
ous, isn’t it? Bab.
A TEXAN HUNTRESS.
Mrs. Sedwlck’s k xpertness With tho
Rifle—Bringing Down a Buck.
From the Memphis Avalanche.
Mrs. John F. Sedwickof Waco, Tex., is
visiting her brother, Maj. George M. Helm
of Helm Station, Miss. The major is some
what of a sportsman, and likes nothing bet
ter than to take dogs and gun and sally
forth in Search of whatever game, big or
small, he can bag. He is a good shot, but
bis sister is equally expert, and she is at
once the wonder and admiration of Wash
ington coumy for her prowess with the
breech-loader.
Day after day bird-shooting parties were
organized during her visit, and at the close
of each day’s sport the lady had invariably
more birds to her credit than her brother,
the major, or any of his friends, and she
gained them honestly, for, like a truo sports
man, or sportswoman, sho scorned to take
them other than on the wing.
On Monday last a gran l door hunt, to
which many of the neighboring gentry,
sportsmen, all of them, were invited, oas
o gunizeti. After breakfast the gay party
6 . r.ed uut big with expectancy and deter
mined not to return without foms token of
th ir prowess. Tho ennebrakes reached,
the dugs were turned loose, the vicious
hunters took their respective “stands” at
points whero the doer weu and naturally
seek to ; scape the drive, and waited iu pa
tience.
Soon the baying of the hounds announced
that game baa been started, and the h int
ers concealed theniselva3, awaiting with
tbut suppres*efi eagerness known only to
tho spor.sman for a sight of their prey.
As luck would havo it, the dogs had
s'nrted a fine buck, which sought to escape,
running toward the stand guarded by Mrs.
tied wick and her brother. On he came
with bounding leaps, flying from the visible
and uudlb'c fees in the rear, all unconscious
of the bidden dagger in frbht of him.
Coolly, with no sign of “buck ague,” and
without a tromer of nervousness.*, the lady,
bringing her weapon Into position, took
quick hut steady’ aim. The major, albeit
hii aocmcpiidied sister liad demonstrated
her skill ns a bird shooter, dou’tiug her
ability to bring down the nobler game, got
ready His weaqau, but before be could ’ring
It to boar Mrs. Scdwlck pulled the trigger,
there was a ptff of staoki, a rsport, ami
the magnificent four-point buck, with one
leap id the air, fell dead.
The shot v*s the signal that brought to
gether the scattered hunters. Th© day’s
hunt was declared over. The game was
taken home, dressud and oaten at a merry
feast given in the heroine’s honor. The
lady m'idestly bore the congratulations
showered upon her, and the major is as
proud of his relative as though sbo were of
roval klO'd. And so sho is—of the royal
blood of American womanhood.

(Copyrioht.)
New YoRX,Oct4. —I have been asked what
I think of the action ot the California author
ities in shutting down on boxing exhibition*.
Mv oar.did opinion is that th prohibition
can not continue. There is too much inter
est taken in the sport in Saa Fraucisco and
the other great town aud cities. The move
ment in San Francisco is only a wave from
the agitation begun in the east a few years
ago and will not last long.
Tho opposition to glove contests comes
from thoio who have never witnosssd them
and who judge of them merely by one or
two facts or impressions.
Speaking as a man who has had some ex
perience, I wish to say most emphatically
that boxing contests aro not rough sport.
In the first place, th® contestants, if prop
erly trained, aro in such line physical con
dition, so strong of limb, ■ > hard of flesh,
that i uot bur: or cause them dis
tress, but only invigorates. Every man
who has freed a furious hail-storm, and has
felt the Dio and mounting higher and higher
and his spirits rising till at last ho has
laughed as the hurricane whirled him
about, knows something of the exhilaration
felt by those who face each other in the
ring and stand up under showers of blows.
The beauty of boxing is that it exercires
and brings into action every muscle in tho
human body, from the tip of the too to tho
end cf tr.e finger. Tho muscles of the legs,
the back, the arms, the neck, all havo full
play, aud tlie narural comuative strategy
of oac i man is as fully developed as though
he was engaged in a duel with swords.
fioxiig is also the ultimate and final test
of physical power and endurance. By its
(means man may reach as satisfactory a
conclusion as to their physical merits as
can be reached In any manner short of
deadly combat. The practice of this mimic
war imuarti hardihood, readiness of re
source, cheerfulness iu auversity, and a’ ove
ail, good temper. I don’t say teat no bad
toinpered man can ever become a first-class
pugilist, but Ido say that such cases aro
very rare. Hard knocks make men good
natured, and proficiency as a pugilist gives
a nervous taa is lf-contidenoe that banishes
irritation. The best men do their tiguting
only iu the ring. Outside of it they areas
peaceable and amiable as most other citi
zens, and are deadly enemies of roughs and
©arroom terrors
Our nineteenth century civilization can
not afford to quarrel with any form of
healthy, wholesome athletics, especially iu
America, where so large a proportion ©f
young men find their only exercise in swing
ing pens and lifting ledgers. Half ao hour’s
w irx with the gloves each day would give
to these young men the sure foot, tho strong
arm, the hard muscle, the clear eye and tho
steady brain of the athlete.
Fhvsical exercise moans mental rest.
Boxing will cure:
Dyspepsia,
In-omuia,
Consumption (in its early stages),
Malaria,
Melancholia,
Incipient paresis.
The blues.
Colds, coughs, s 're throat and fevers.
This may seem like an extravagant state
ment, but I do not me in to u:s,ert that it is
a good thing for a man to rise from a sic t
bed to box. I mean to say that the ailmout-s
named, and scores of others, soring from a
condition of ths human system, which could
not exist it proper care and exercise were
taken. The Christian scientists are very
nearly right iu their assertion that sickuo-s
is sin.
It seems somswhat inconsistent for the au
thorities to prohibit what are called glove
fights, and yet allow wrestling and foot ball
matches to proceed. I have tried my hand
at both wrestling and b 'Xing, aud I can
say without fear of contradionon from any
one who knows the facts, that the latter is
much the roost merciful. As to foot ball,
tho newspaper record of injuries received
by players on the two foremost college
teams, shows a larger number of casualtias
from one match than prize rings ail over
the country yield in a year.
There’s danger of over-civilization.
Through over-civilization nations relnpso
into barbarism. While Egyptians were
athletes they ruled the world; while Per
siant were athletes their arms wore irresis
tible; while Grecians wore athletes the
banded armies of the whole earth could
not overcome them; while the Romans
were athletes they were invincible. If I
read history aright thrss cases wore all the
same; riches and luxury brought decay,
corruption, sloth, aud then came the down
fall. We have riches and luxury now, aud
I think T can see some evidences of sloth.
There are scores of thousands of men in
New York who never giro their muscles
any harder exercise than they can get from
pulling oil their bouts in the nierring.
Glove contests stem much more dam
aging than they really ara People grow
excited and condemn th*m os brutal be
cause they see the men striking each oth®r.
Their eyus are not quick ough t® 6ee how
few of the blows laid in the face, nor do
they know ho r bard it is to hurt the face of
a trained pugilist. O’ course, at times men
are knocked out, and 1 am now in, a position
to slate that it does not hurt to bo
knocked out Nature has made ex
press provision for such emergencie*.
The blow that infliots th* injury duile the
sensibilities, and the only really painful
thing about being knocked out is in ibe
struggle to retain consciousness and keep up
the fight. Hyams, bruised and bleeding,
rose nine time* from as many knock-down
blows in the last two rounds of hi* fight
with McAuliffe, and was finally knockod
senseless. Ybt the next day he started in
surprise at a man who asked him if ho was
much injured. Ho contended that McAuliffe
had not hit him at all; and I know a great
many similar cases.
You ask ms how I came to lose the fight
to La Blanche? I should not have lost it. I
did cot lose it fairly. The match wont
against me partly by reason of a deliberate
foul committed by tbo Marine, and partly
through the fault of the referee, who ought
to have immediately given me the fight. Up
to the round before tbo last I had the best
of it. Iu fact, I was winning, with plenty
to spare. When the boll rang for the
end of the round we ceased sparring, and I
turned my back to La Btaucbe and walked
off toward ray corner. He started toward
his corner, but turned and ran after me.
Suddenly I got a blow on the neck that sent
me staggering to the ropes. It was the
most cowardly blow ever delivered, the
most deliberate fonl ever perpetrated in a
prize ring. I was dazed and wo“k from that
cow-rdly blow, aadmy seconds Immediately
claimed tho light for me on a foul. But
I never yet won a fight on a foul and I
would not wio from the Marine in that
fashion. Besides, the referee’s hesitation
had put him in a bad position. Bo 1 re
fused to win on a foul and evened matters
up and took the reform out of a fix by con
tinuing tha round until we were pulled
opart. I never tally recovered after La
Blanche hit mo that foul blow. I have tried
everything 6hcrt of striking him to bring
him into a contest with me again, but be
has again and again refused. Nothing but
necessity would get hitn to face me now.
Of coarse, I loot no championship when I
faced La Blanche. I was giving him twelve
and one-half pounds, and after be defeated
me I was still middle-weight champion of
America, which, 1 suppose, means the
world.
A great many of ray friend* have written
to ask me whether or nut I am going to
England. 1 don’t know. lam considering
tho matter. It all depends ea what I find !
out to be the prospect. What would be th
ese cf my going to England at present?
Thev have a number of good iriea there—
Toff Wall, BiU B.’ode and Ted Pritchard—
but nobody know® which one of the e throe
is the beet, and they ail claim to be
champion middle-weights of England. I
would like to see them set lo the question
among themselves, and when they had
finally found out who was the real champ
ion, J would b* willing to make a match
with him for reasonable terms, and toss up
to s® whether be shill com" to Amsr'r* to
fight me, or I sball go to E island to fight
him. I don’t know how good tho-is E*-
gltsh m ddlewe.ghu aro. Tory have not
fought anr of the America-is o! note, and
we have therefore no menus of earn oaring
them: but judging from the fate of othur
Knglish wonders like Wallace and Jem
Smith, they are no more than a match for
first-class American lighters of th.irown
weight
I don’t know anything about Bob Fitz
simmons, the latest importation from Aus
tralia, except that he weipped McCarthy in
much quicker time than I did. That may
mean that he is better tha i I am, or it may
mean that ho is a rusher, who does all his
fighting in three or four rounds and then
goes to pieces. McCarthy is an awkward
man to hit, hut they say Fitzsimm ins hit
bitn hard and often. I may sav right here,
though, that anybody who looks . ver my
rocud will see that many of iuv fights have
been to-ig. That does not m<*a i that th®
battle was hard, but only that 1 was cau
tious, and would not risk my advantages
by trying to wind up matters in a hurry.
In my last fight with McCarthy I had
him whipped iu the sevonth round and did
not know it. He was staggering all over
the ring, but I suspocted a trap and would
not go near him all tbo remainder of tho
round. “Jack,” he said, afterward, “I
was done for in that seventh round if you
had followed ma up. I was blind and dizzy
und almost out.” McCarthy is tho mo-t
good-natured man I ever fought with. We
used to train together, and he spe-it half
his time chafliing me and telling wlint he
was going to do with me when we fought.
He would sit down arid tell me exactly
where h© was going to hit me and how hard.
Even when ao were fighting we wore talk
ing pleasantly to each other and laughing
over each blow till Mac got dizzy. I begged
him to give up, but bo would®not do It, he
was too plucky, though he had not one
chance in a thousand thou. So lie bad to
go out. All the same, ho is as good a friend
as I havo in California to-day.
I have no plans nt pre eut, or rather 1
have a great many plans and have uot de
cided on any of them. I havo a great man v
offers from theatrical manager ;. I have
my own c unpany to consider and I also hnvo
inducements to go to England. Aus raha
and homo to Oregon where my family are.
lain undecided as yet ns to wha I will do.

A PRETTY GIRL ABAOAD.
If You Meet Her Address tier In

Kopy right).
Amsterdam, Sept. 24.— 1 watched her
from the moment sho tat down to “early
bite,” as the Dutch idiom styles the national
breakfast of coffee, bread ai.d horriDgs.
She had brown huir, combed loosely back
from a white forehand, inrge gray eyes and
a fresh complexion. That shi was Amer
ican was evident even Indore sho smiled the
waiter, in bis shabby dress suit, speechless
as she asked for ice water. She wore a
pretty traveling gown of black aiid gray.
Sho put bor elbows on the table cloth, but
the curves of her round arms were so grace;
fill that one was easy when she assumed a
more conventional pose.
1 watched her butter tier rolls and pat the
gray-haired business man, evidently' her
father, on ttie back, and go on a marauding
expedition across the table fir an extra
lump of sugar for her mother's chocolate. 1
did not take my eyes off her till kho pus ed
back her chair and was bowed by the
fascinated waiter out of the “oetzoal.”
Then I wondered why she so held my atten
tion, and the answer wrote itself out clear
and large on the hotel table cloth-one
seldom ,-ees a pretty girl in Euroiie and
when one does, she is apt to be American.
It would be an interesting question, if one
could hope to find an answer, why womanly
beauty is so taro, at least over the northern
half of the continent. It was under the
shadow of the Jungirau that an English
girl leaned on her alpenstock, as a crowd of
urchins flecked about her to teli that v. nito
flannel fraud which they natrn off as ouel
weiss on the unwary. “Here are twenty
good-looking children,” said sho to ber
father, “aua the boys will grow into line,
sturdy, handsome men, but tho girls will
tako smallpox or die young.” It is tr ie
that it would be hard to find fifty phys.©ally
attractive women iu .Switzerland, in spite
of its magniilcjn.t climate and its moun
tains, which it would seem must make one
fair simply to grow up continually looking
on them; it is alto true that tho case is not
much better in the countries round about
Switzerland, or indoed in England itseif,
except indeed among what the English girl
would have called the “lower class®:.”
Sir John Millias’ lament that female love
liness is dying out of Great Britain has gone
round the world, but it must be acknowl
edged that the tig(it little island has etill
pretty chambermaids. It would be bard
to say jost how the law of natural splootion
has worked to bring about such a result,
but whils the country girls of New Hamp
shire and western Massachusetts have a
wild rose grace that the heavier build of the
English farmer’s ilaughbir canuot rival;
while tue saleswomen iu New Yol k stores
are more attractive in countenance, though,
alas, not manner, thou woman clorks in
the great 1/endna houses; while there ara
more beautiful fecs to tie seen on Fifth
avenue than Rotten liow, one cumothe
wai ed oa In American hi tols by Hebtw
anything like as rosy and bright-eyed as
the white-capped, white-aproned, pleasant
voiced damsels who fill oco’s water pitcher
whorevsr one finds rest for tbs sole of one's
foot in the United Kingdom.
Were Ia poet I would write an odo to the
chambermaids who have fetched my .-andics
and my towels. Th© high-bred English
girl is of her sort absolute perfection, but a
liking for her resembles a taste for olives,
keen when once acquired, but natural to
few persons. She is, indeed, tall, fresh
cotnplexloned. One cannot hope to fl .and
elsewhere on the civilized globe such
splendid specimens of physical humanity
as the young men and young women who
row and punt and lour.go on the decks of
houseboats on the Thames. Generations of
good feeding and outdoor life have (level -
oped a magnificent type—broad shouldered
iu the mar,, deep chested, altogether admir
able; equally vigorous, to all appearance,
in the woman, but in divers ways pecu
liarly ungraceful.
The aristocratic English girl has a face of
remarkable shape. The bitter hor position,
according to Burke’s Fee age, the longer is
her countenance. An expert might distin
guish an Hon. Miss from a Lady Mary,
daughter of a hundred earls, and Lady
Mary again from hor grace by the simple
process of measurement. Tho face ig uot
oval, it is merely elongated, and the ctiin is
apt to be pointed. The more marked this
characteristic iu the individual, the more
certainly is the bair pinned high on the
bead, tilting the stiff sailor bat down
over the eyes and exaggerating the
northeast to sonthwest diagonal. In
evening dress a bunch of plumes or a tail
pin is thrust into tbo hair upon the very
crown, producing the same effect. Tbe
eves are rather long, and often in propor
tion narrow, the neck extensive, ami made
much of by the tigut, high drosa collar. An
English girl’s shoulders are broad and
square, arms long, waist long, general effect
in tbe tailor gown angular, only partially
redeemed by the clear red and white com
plexion and general air of health and well
being. No other woman in Europe has bar
physique, but, measured by Greek stand
ard!, she is far from beautiful.
It is a mistake to suppose that tbe En
glish woman holds ber youth longer than
the American. Bee <!oe.> not tade, but >.bo
coarsens. In so ate cases there is a special
reason f r this, as the six to eight inebriato
asylums for women within cosy roach ol
London might testify.
Tbe Frenchwoman has the one quality
which th® Englishwoman misses. Khe is
almost invariably graceful, but sb® has no
roses. I never saw thre® I'armsni who in
face were beautiful. Ore afternoon on the
pr rnenaae at (Ltundn a voice behind me
exclaimed: “See that lovely Kreuoh girl!”
She had cbestr.ut hair and wonderfully tine
eyes, and certainly she aas wearing Paris
clothe!. As she came rearer wo bowed
down metaphorioellv before her high-ho led
siippero in acknowledgment that she was a
quern and that we welcomed her into her
kingdom. In a moment tbe was abreast of
us. What were tbe words that fell upon
our ears? “Isn’t it just too swset, but I
wish I eonld get n pound of Philadelphia
caramels.” One may set it down as a rule
a most wi’h iut exception that tbe women
woo are at once French in toilet and pretty
are of United States origin.
O.ie evening net lung since at th® op*ra I
spent more time studying the Paris beauties
than tbe stage. Thera was the Prinoesse de
Bagau, whs with each tiew toilet creates a
fresh sensation over half the world. Sallow,
thin, almost nil invalid iu appearance, she
must possess some of tho elements of genius
to make her vivacity and hor clothes
sustain her reputation for ieouership
thrcujh more than a quarter of a
century. Not far removed was tho
blojde and blue-eyed Comtosso Aimery
de la Rochefoucauld. One bears her called
the living portrait of Marie Antoinette,
but if the resemblance exists the unfortu
nate queen was not inoie than ordinarily
fair ot feature. There mas tho Vicomtasae
d* Treilern, with roses In her hair aud dia
monds at her threat, a sugar merchant’s
daughter, woo lias won hor way in the
haughty Faubourg St. Germain by what
its dames aro pleased to call her exquis’to
b-au y. A stately woman enough, but not
to tx-ar away the palui from others. T’uo
most attractive face within view was that
of Mile. Jeanne Hugo, the granddaughter
of the writer, who charmsd tot so much by
feature as by expression.
The Frenchwoman docs not enter a beauty
contest with a fair field and lo favor. Bh
is a slander, colorless little thing, without a
<lrdp of honest rod blood in her veins, at an
ago whe.i the Knglis gr! is at her fromest,
b cause, by her physical aud mental train
ing her development is retarded. tShe eats
sweetmeats ana walks out decorously, be
hind a veil. Theuvtically when s!io moi 1 -
ries she it still a child, but a child that has
not been allowed to run. In the first year
or two of married life there esmos a suddou
blossoming, but the Gallic nature, with its
emotional tomperameut, its vivacity, its
sensitiveness, plows lines very quickly in
the faces of its women, who are not
brought up to have the Waxou stamina.
The Parisiemie is apt to be sallow, well
dressed .and witty, the rspartoe aud the
toilets often proving more effective thr.n a
better complexion.
Iu Switzerland tho women who ore bcsl
favored are found.on tbe St. Gnttbard route
and the lines of the paases lending iutoltujy.
They are Italian largely in blood and lan
guage; but, aside from a vision or two of u
dark southern faco framed iu a bright hand
kerchief, the only picture of a pretty B wiss
woman which conies to me is that of r.n inu
koopar’s daughter iu tha bioak lira cron
Thai, who cervsd white wiuo coquettishly
to a couple of loutish young follows in a
fine old dining room ceiled iu oak, arm sang
to them at an antiquated pbmo while thev
drunk aid wondered. She had bright hair
and a winsome smiie, which stand out as au
oasis iu a desert barren of feminine churn s.
Iu Lucerno aud Zurich, as well as on tho
mountain side, the women of tbe laud of
Toil seem heavy of feature and figure.
The German gii 1 wno is pretty, is most
fair and sweet to look upon, with ber
'smooth hair and fresh skin and her con-
tented absorption in tho daily interests of
tho household. She is not chic like the
Frenchwoman, tior tailor-made like the
EnglißU girl, but sho is most blouming and
wholeionio aud pleasant to live with. It
rests tbe eye to pass her in the streets ot
Heidelberg or Colog o, with her imlluod
forehond V 'id of anxiety, or to watch the
air of imp rtance with which she jingles a
whole bunch of koys. She is not nervous
looking. Indeed, sue often fails of beauty
by reason of too much placidity. It is
o ily under stress of Bonn little excitement
thr.t her face gains interest by gaining ex
prerslou. Germany is not a woman’s
country, aud a noble typo of beauty
the beauty of maturity—can hardly flow
luxuriantly, though one may fin'd single
blossoms, in a land wbero women aro shut
out from large and noble interests. Tbe
German builds his railroad cars for men.
He puts cigar holders and match receivers
into nineteen comsiartments out of twenty,
the twentieth being nominally, not often
actually, reserved for non-smokers.” The
German newspapers aro for men and tho
education. The German woman looketh
well to the ways of her household, but lo
the foreigner stie seem* to spend much time
on little things, and to io o the light that
shines behind the face lit from the fiatne of
the world’s thinking and feeling. If she
would hut for a moment put aside her knit
ting. Life is not ali stockings.
The German woman does not dress wall,
and hero she lo'es by comparison with
Fi ance or England. She bas adopted the
tailor gown, but German tailors do not cut
it to fit without awkward wrinkles, i-ihe
wears tbe sailor hat also, aud it is even less
becoming to ber round face than to tho
English long me. St e gets heavy much
earhsr in life than she ought, hut even when
her pounds have multiplied thstnsolyOM she
walks with splendid vigor. I bsliswe the 7
only whke-bnirtd woman who make Alpine
afiOcuts are Germans. Froqch women li ok
at the mountains from the valley hotels,
American women gn where pibtos can inks'
them. Tbe British matron is carried to
view points iu a choir by six porter®, but
the German woman of almost any age will
climb.
Flemish women are small. They lack the
French grace, sad have no more than the
French beauty. Th® women of Brussels aro
qaasi -Purlsiaw, but Uioee of Antwerp are
(■•tber after tbe Ditoh type. Pretty girl*
are nt>out as coiaajoa iu Holland on any
where in Europe. Tbe typo is trim, smil
ing, intelligent, quite want the English
would call middle-cUws prettiiiqss. Here in
Amsterdam on# can count them by th®',
hundred; light brown hair, blua eyes, plenty
of sense, but very little poetry. They uro
healthy aid likable, and tho soul# of good
humor, quite tho faces that look out of the
old Dutch pictures.
Europe, England exespted, impresses an
American es inhabited chiofly by people
who are pale and small. That an American
girl should care to marry a gone-to-seed
noble is curi ,us, but that tbe noble should
desire to marry an American girl is suffi
ciently intelligible. Tho chances are she is
altogether the prettiest and most charming
girl ho has ever scon.

THE FACULTY OF MEMORY.
Why Age and Fatigue c'auso a Fail
ure of tlio Mnemonic Powers.
From the New York Ledger.
Memory is found in all healthy states of
the brain, and consists of a revival in the
mind of a past condition or act. It is not
enough that the original impression be re
newed on the brain and comprehended; it
must be registered, so as to produce ft per
manent modification of brain structure or
action; otherwise it passes fr im the mind,
and can only be vaguely recalled. A good
memory dejHjnde on various consideration!*.
One is Healthy brain structure, another is
nutrition, and a third is trainiug and
culture. The young remember more easily
than the old. Their brains aro active, and
there is an enormous amount of new,
healthy blood coursing through them at u
rapid rats, and nutrition is active. Fatigue
is fatal to good memory. It is then tnat
nutrition languishes; but rest restores a
healthful condition, and then the power of
memory c-’inesibaoK again.
As obi age'comes on nutrition Is less per
fect, and the cells of the brain iu which
memory takes place become filled up with
debris of decay, become yellow, atsd.- act
ually lose their organised structure, and are
u> longer capable of action.
