As Thoy Are Seen on Fifth Avenue, *Lak\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Shore \"Drive and Connecticut Avenue.  The Washington Girl Preferred by Men,  bat the Others Outpoint Her.  The United States boasts three beauty  promenades of special prominence. , These  jure esplanades along -which  fashion ' disports itself in remarkable raiment and  notably   on   Easter   Sunday.    They   are  placed in New York, Washington and Chicago arid are  named  Fifth avenue, Connecticut avenue and Lake Shore drive.  Of  the - three  the  last  is   incomparably tho  handsomest.    On ono side  curl  the blue  waters of the  lake;  on  the  other is tho  bosky wealth of Lincoln park, pale green  in the early spring.    On Lako Shore drive  tho air is sharper and better.    Sweeping  over the miles of Lake Michigan it brings  a deeper color to thin skinned cheeks.    It  adds quickness to gesture and silver to  laughter.    It is  good for women's  lungs.  It is good for the ,lungs of  men,who  lino  the edges of the broad pathway.    It helps  to disarm  criticism.    In  looking at and  judging a pretty woman tho best thing to  have is good humor.  The women who frequent these display  grounds  are markedly different  in type.  The New York woman will bo recognized  as a New York woman on State street. ' A  Chicago woman is unable to hide her birthmarks  upon  Broadway.    A  Washington  woman ought to be- known anywhere.    In  painting their several portraits it is necessary to use only a coarse brush.  They lend  themselves readily to delineation.    Each  of   the three cities  furnishes  individual  types of extreme beauty.    Preference is  1    largely a matter of taste, which itself is a  \"matter of education  and early surroundings. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ,  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd, The New York woman is well built and  carries herself well.    She is apt to be long  legged and has a long stride.  She is taught  to hold her shoulders   back and her chin  -high. She looks straight ahead, and a gaze  '  that apparently takes in nothing takes in  everything.    This has been bred in her by  life in a crowded town\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda tow*n to wThose  crowd Chicago's  crowds are mere hand-  fuls.    She  is graceful, \"with a cultivated  grace that smacks of Dclsarte.   Her hands  are large and well formed, as are her feet.  . The latter aro large because she does much  walking.    She is apt to be narrow.hipped  ,  and flat chested.    She  is big  boned, and,'  if spare of flesh, the bones ore prominent.  , Her lower limbs are  thin, but the bicycle  has done much for them.    For three genS  erations and more her waist has  been too  much pinched.    She is apt to be blond or  an approach to blond.                      <        ,  One of the rarest things in New-York is  a genuine, native born brunette.   By gen-  r   uine brunette I mean the clear olive skin  whici?. shows the, dusky red of the'checks,  the' leng lashed, dark eyes of shine and  the  n.asses of raven  hairv   That is the  healthy brunette\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsurely one of  the most  beautiful of women. The New York woman , has a good complexion and, almost  , without exception, sound and  brilliantly  ' white teeth.   Her mouth is large, and good  < teeth are a  necessity.    Her eyebrows  are  thin, but distinctly penciled, and her nose  tends to the aquiline  type.'    As a general  thing the lips are thin and the ears small.  She is not a woman  in whom the animal  masters the mental.    Her manners, when  she wishes them to be, are perfection\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdrefined, gentle, cordial, frank  and modest.  The female aristocrat of New York\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand  only aristocrats frequent Fifth avenue at  Easter\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis high bred.    Her  behavior with  the other sex shows it.    Thero is nothing  of the don't touch me reserve of the awkwardly bashful woman and no invitation  to undue freedom.    She  is  of  the world,  liking male  companionship  and  unconsciously enforcing male respect.  The woman of Chicago is. western. She  could not hide it if she wished to. She is  stronger than her New York sister\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbetter  built. She has more muscle. She is not  so tall, but is broader. Her forehead is  not so high, but she measures more between tho eyes. She is cot so handsome a  woman, but is more attractive. Her face  is apt to be irregular. The nose is frequently retrousse. The lips, if not thick,  are full. As Chicago is a new city, and a  composite city, she is a new and composite  product. She is of all types\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdshort, long,  blond, brunette and brune.  One of the handsomest women in Chicago is of the pure Saxon kind\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdflaxen  locks, creamy skin and light blue eyes.  Another is of Peruvian darkness.

York Ledger.  iihe  Causes   and   the   Treatment   of   This  Distressing Eruption.  This most distressing eruption, known  medically as urticaria and- popularly also  as nettle rash, hardly needs a description, -  for there is scarcely any one who has not  at some time in his lifo suffered from it  more or less. It consists in the sudden  appearance .of one or more puffy swellingSi  on the skin, hard and of a whitish or  pinkish color, which itch and burn and  sting intolerably.    '  These wheals may be no larger round  than a pea, or they may be of tbe size of a  silver dollar or even larger. They usually  last only a few hours or a few minutes,  but may persist for a day or more. Sometimes they keep coming out. in successive  crops on the same or different parts of the  body.  The wheals generally disappear as rapidly as they come, and with them disappears every sign of the eruption, except,  perhaps the marks of the finger nails which  the sufferer has dug into his skin 4 in the  vain effort to quiet the itching.  The causes of hives are numerous, but  in the greater number of cases they, are  referable to some.error in diet. Some people cannot cat shellfish of any kind without' paying for their indiscretion by an attack of urticaria. Others are similarly  affected by some kinds of berries or nuts  or by certain drugs. Irritation of the skin  by medicinal applications, such as arnica  or iodine, by poisons, such as that of the  nettle or of certain insects, or by the un:  derclothing, as well as the action of a very  low temperature, may also produce an  eruption of hives.  If it is possible to discover tho cause and  to remove it, the treatment of urticaria  beco:**tes a very simple matter. While tho  eruption lasts the. itching and stinging  may be relieved somewhat by bathing the  parts in a strong solution of r bicarbonate  of soda, borax, household ammonia, alcohol or,vinegar and water.  A useful application is carbolic acid, one  part in 30 parts of water, with a little  glycerin.. Sometimes an ointment containing carbolic acid, borax or boracic  ucid, zinc or chloroform is very grateful.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdYouth's Companion.

One of the Most Notorious Battles In the  University's History.  , The jaunty student scouted the officers  of the civil law. He walked in sublime  contempt of the whole race of Philistines  who sold him clothes- and furnished him  with board. He even rose loftily above  his debts. Young lords with their retainers rosorted to the university. The flames  of national enmity and the jealousy of  nobles kindled afresh in the contact of the  student world. This turbulent, lawless  age was mirrored in the fierce broils of the  young scholars.  In 1355 a quarrel arose at Oxford on St.  Scholastica's day, Feb. 10, between these  lovers of learning and a landlord regarding the quality of his wine, and when \"he  answered surlily\".they broke their flasks  about his head. Thus began one of the  most remarkable contests in the history of  the university. The bell of St. Martin's  called the citizens to arms and of St.  Mary's the scholars. The latter seized the  gates of the city to defend them against  the country people, who rallied to tho rescue of the citizens.  But the rustics, 2,000 in number, stormed a gate and entered the town. Wherever  the shaven crown of a priest or the gown  of a scholar was seen thither surged the  wild mob. Churches were plundered and  crucifixes and ornaments torn down.  Monks were seized with the chalice at the  foot of the cross, and a general scene of  plunder and license set in. The host Avas  carried in procession, but did not avail to  check the fury.  The king arrived with troops. The papal  legate, Nicholas of Tusculum, placed tho  town under an interdict, and all masters  and scholars .who should remain there.  This was not removed for four years, when  the town submitted absolutely lo the  mercy of the legate, offered masses for the  slain students and paid indemnity for the  injuries that had been committed.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdProfessor W.

A  member present at prayers has a right to  the place ho then occupies until tho rising  of tho house. Each evening stands absolutely independent and by itself, and  therefore the title to a seat secured by attendance at prayers lapses at the termination of the sitting.  On the table in a little' box is a supply  of small whito cards with the words \"At  prayers\" in large old English letters. Obtaining one of these cards and writing his  name on it under'the words \"At prayers,\"  the member slips it into a receptacle in the  bench at the back of the seat and thus secures the place for tho night against all  comers. He may immediately leave the  house and remain away as long as he  pleases. The place may be occupied by  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd another member in the meantime, but  whenever the master of the seat, the.gentleman whose autograph is written on the  card in the little brass slit, returns to the  chamber the temporary occupant of the  scat must give place to him.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdNineteenth  Century.

For   this   service   and traveling  from   place   to   place tho peasants make  use of long stilts, which are tied to their  legs. Mounted on these, eight or ton feet  above   the   ground, they can watch their  flocks   over   a   wide extont of the marsh  and   cross   the   sloughs, pools   and  bogs  without difficulty.  They carry with them  a   long   pole, which serves   as a balance  when     walking    and   a   support   when  resting.

Mary Nimmo Balentine,'writing of the  \"Women of the United States Senate\" in  Tho .Woman's Home Companion, tells some  amusing incidents in the experiences of  senatorial families which require gr=at  tact and,self command to-be passed orer  without contretemps: '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  \"Women whose husbands and fathers  are in political lifo enjoy interesting experiences and meet with curious people at\/  times.

Dishonest people work harder for smaller profit than honest ones. Tho^secret service has discovered that counterfeit 1 cent  pieces are being made. When the old copper cents were in use, they were about tho  same value in weight as the metal itself,  but copper has grown cheaper, and the cent  of today is only one-third of the old fashioned one. A man or woman working  very bard can turn out about 500 of these  cents hi ono day. Besides tho cost of the  metal is tho cost of the mold and of tho  chemicals used in finishing them, tho entire amount being about one-quarter of  the face value. Upon this statement the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  counterfeiter would clear only $3.75 a day,  but the trouble in \"shoving the queer,\" as  they call passing the counterfeit, is extremely great, so that tho malefactor is  usually obliged to get two or three assistants to help him.

At first  there wero  small classes of  ladies who gathered under Mrs. Marshall's  personal  instruction in a couple of  little  rooms, yet so ably did she teach them that  her fame spread abroad, and women wishing for regular employment as cooks came  to her for training.  This development of her calling gave  her the idea, of opening an establishment.  in London where every detail of tho kitchen need, supply and comfort would be  carefully and scientifically considered. To  this day tho business goes , under the title  of \"Marshall's School of Cookery,\" but  any one who visits the establishment on  Mortimer street realizes that ,this plucky  woman has done something, more than  carry oh a school. The department of instruction is maintained as vigorously as -  ever, and > every one, from duchesses to  draymen's wives, in need of kitchen lore  come to these classes for training, but tho  business has a dozen* equally as valuable  branches.    One of  tho most  important is  effort and persistence to accomplish it.  Too many women lack persistence. Instead of conscientiously taking their exercise every day they skip a day when they  are feeling tired or lazy, then two or three  days at a time, and eventually they learn  to forget it or decide that the game is not  worth the candle.

Gymnastics For Women.  Physical culture in the home with reference to tho development of health and consequently beauty is thus discussed by a  recent writer, who gives simple directions  for private gymnastics:  \"Systematic exercise can ticcomplish so  much  that it  is a marvel to one who has  enjoyed  its  benefits  that  it is not more  generally practiced.    It is entirely unnecessary to be mistress of a system of physic  al  culture.    There   are   a   few   exercises  which taken regularly and thoroughly wil j  accomplish all that a system would.

There are perhaps, a larger number of  spinsters in Bermuda in proportion to the  population than in any other place on thi.<-  side of the Atlantic, and it is a curioi:*-  fact that this is the law of the land. .'  The semitropical climate of the islam\":  and their isolation havo made of tlie iu  habitants of English stock a quiet, almost  sluggish, folk of a simplicity nearly Arcadian. Tho women especially, many of  whom live very,.narrow lives, never leaving these islands, arc remarkable for theii  old fashioned hospitality and a natural  ease of manner which seems to arise from  an entire faith in thoso with whom thcy  como in contact. Perhaps tho fact that it  would be very difficult for a criminal to  escape from the islands may account for '  it, but, at any rate, crime is very rare  there.  '    Bermuda women  aro  excellent housewives and bring up'largo families of children, some of the most favored'young folk  being sent to f.he United States for educational advantages.  In matters of etiquette  they are far more strict than Americans -  As a  rule, they  are  well to do and live  comfortably, while some of  them possess.  ample means and enjoy much luxury.    In  Bermuda,-as  in   England, property, especially   real - estate,   remains  in  the same  family for  long periods,,and some of  the  descendants of the first settlers still possess'  - lands which have never passed out of their  families.     It   is1'just    this   conservatism  about  property  which causes the  super  abundance of spinsters.    No alien can acquire a title to land in Bermuda either I repurchase or inheritance.     This  is chiefly  a precautionary measure against the Portuguese, who flock   to the country and go  in largely for onion growing.  But tho law  provides  tliat if a women   marries  a for  eigncr she shall lose her  landed property,  but shall also become incapable of inheriting any.    This law is naturally not popu  ,lar with the ladies, who see their brothers  mate  with   Americans  and  other aliens  and would fain have thesamo liberty.  Occasionally Bermudan girls renounce their  birthrights for love's sake,  but, as a rule,  the charms of  penniless maidens are not  sufficient for young  men   to desire  them  for wives! and thus many girls are doomed  tosinglo  blessedness in .Bermuda simply  by the law of the.land.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBoston Herald.  His Wealth In Wives.  Customs, as they affect the marital .habits of the world, are an endless source of  interest to mankind. They diverge widely  and are moot suggestive of the state of  civilization existing in various sections of  the world. Economists' assert that American men remain single because of their  inability to support families, whereas the  men of south Africa estimate their wealth  according to tho number of wives they  have taken unto themselves. James.  O'Haire, a Catholic missionary in Urn-  tata, writes that \"whereas civilized man  is expected to support his wife, the Pondo  leaves to-his women folk the privilege of  supporting him.\"    He^ states further that  the number of wives a man has settles tho  question  as to  his  previous  wealth, for  each wife was bought, and for her he must  have  paid  her father from  8 to 20 oxen.  Consequently his wealth may be estimated  by the number of wives and children, because  the whole  transaction  may be described as natural human farming.    Each  daughter is worth, say, ten oxen; if she be  comely, she may .possibly. selL-l'or 20 oxen\";  then, too, the sons work in the care of cattle, for the  Kaffir  properties consist entirely of cattle.   The women all work,'but  the  head  of the family, the  man, never  works  after  marriage.    \"The dignity of  labor is so noble a thing  that one cannot  but admire the complete self abnegation of  the polygamous Pondos in leaving it all to  the females, and yet the absence of  work  does not seem to prey upon their spirits.\"  Pondo men arc said to be as happy as the >  day  is  long.

Woman's club.  discussed the happy marriage and gave it  what free and easy writers call a first class  notice.    A very brief extract from his address credits   him  with   saying' that   the  idcalizing\/levotion with which  tho happy  marriage   begins  is  the  most admirable  thing in human nature. He does not seem  to favor tho  idea that  the  cornerstone of  happiness in   marriage is a sufficient  income secured against the  chances of  fortune.     Ou   the   contrary,  he  declares,  as  The Transcript quotes him, that the young  woman who marries for money or position  is sacrificing the   best of  life which   mar  riage affords      The chief  conditions of  a  happy   marriage,   as   he  finds  them,   are  health, common intellectual interests and  a religious belief held in common between  husband and wife. . No doubt he enlarged  upon   these  conditions  and qualified  the  idea of  the superlative importance oi   the  latter two by taking largo views of thorn  We  often   see,   for example,   people   very  happily married whose minds are so differently constituted that it seems impossible  that they'should havo more than a limited  number of  intellectual interests  in common.    But  there  are  different  kinds of  good  minds, and  minds that supplement  one another  seem quite  as well  suited to  harmonious associations as those that run  in parallel grooves.  So as to a common religious belief. That  must mean agreement in the great essentials, the roots of which lie deep in character, and which really determine standards and shape conduct. The existence of  practical agreement of this sort is not necessarily inconsistent with much variation  in details of belief which arc important,  but not really vital. A marriage between  a Protestant and a Catholic may be happy,  though such alliances are highly inconvenient. The marriage which may bo expected to fail is one between persons who  are not likely to agree as to what is right  and wh^t is wrong.  -    Men In -Domestic Service.  Women are certainly\" striving constantly to occupy the  positions of  men where  brain  work ' is the active  principle, and  there is now some indication that women  \"may in time be crowded out of the domes-v  tic or menial situations.     While  this will  aot affect tho class of women who are fit-  ied for what is called more elevated places,  the sex will\"-\" in a measure, be influenced,  and, it is  claimed, will   suffer by giving  up their prerogative, for what can be done  for the ignorant, untrained woman if she  cannot  serve in  households?    Those who  have tried men in the various branches of  domestic service usually like their work so  well as  to be unwilling afterward to cm-  ploy women.    In  many of the  hotels of  Europe  men  are  the, only servants. - Ac  cleaners  they are invaluable\"' because of  their strength, and they are also thorough.  They havo good taste and are found to be  excellent  housemaids as well  as butlers.  Many women employ men as maids, especially in traveling, as they can accomplish  a greater number of duties than women.  A  large  number of women  prefer to arrange their own hair and to costume themselves  unaided.    It  has  also   been found  that in   many instances men pack trunks  better than women.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdChicago Tribune.

The Baby's First Shoes.  Every one who has hail the care of small  children has noticed how the progress of a  baby just beginning to walk is retarded  by the putting on of shoes, even those with  flexible kid soles. However soft the kid  may be, it cramps the tender foot, and it  is always sometime before tho baby adjusts itself to the now conditions.  The length of time varies with different  children, some taking to the strange footgear readily, while others take days to do  BO.  In one case known to the -writer a precocious baby who walked early positively  refused to put his food to the ground with  the new shoes on them. When they were  taken off, he was ready to stand or step,  but when they were on he regarded them  calmly, making no open objection, but  could not be coaxed to walk.  In this dilemma baby's mother chanced  to see the story of a similar case in the  family of an army officer, where the difficulty was solved by tho use of a pair of  moccasins such as are worn by the Indians, a diminutive pair of which had  been given by a squaw. She purchased  a stout chamois skin and manufactured a  pair, guided by a pair of squaw's mocca^  sins which were among her souvenirs of a  trip to the Pacific cojist.  -rIlu. .ncw footgciir worked like a charm.

We notice   some of the Canadian  press are in the - habit   of   quoting  the utterances of   American   newspapers against what they call  American Imperialism,   or  expansion,  as if these voiced the sentiment  of  the country.    As a matter  of   fact  they are but a ripple on the surface  Surely we cannot object to her   extension of rule over the inhabitants  ol Hawaii, Phillippines, Caba,   or  I-Wo Rico.    Britain is. constantly  extending her  realm,  and   seizing  u^on land occupied by   ri on-civilized-'' people.      Oar   justification   it*  thfeirs.\"   Wherever our flag goes   it  carries a better civilization.    So   it  , willrbe with  the   Star    Spangled  banner.    These two flags represent  whatever is'best   in   government.  We rejoice that the  United   States  has abandoned its old notions, and  trust' she will hereafter   act   with  Britain in crushing out  oppression  arid uplifting the  standard of justice and freedom   The more territory  the two flags protect the better.

Lawrence Remembered,  Last Friday evening the Chinese  at the lower end of the Camp invited  Dr.  Lawrence   to   Visit   them,  when they presented   him   with   a  large silk Chinese flag, highly ornamented   with   birds   of    gorgeous  plumage, and  brilliant   butterflies  worked with patient skill in raised  figures;   accompanying   it   was   a  tanner, larger and more beautiful,  if possible, than the flag.   Through  the centre of its entire length  were  the words   wrought   with   golden  threads in bold relief:  \"A TOKEN OF GRATITUDE.\"  The banner, except   the   central  portion, was covered   with oriental  designs, and ornamented with birds  and animals in colours   bright   as  the rainbow in relievo on brown seal  silk    background.      Around    the  wide margin shone myriads  of   diminutive   mirrors,   set    in   metal  frames and seeming like   the   eyes  of a host of friends through  which  gleamed the light of gratitude. The  strands of the rich   fringe \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd around  the edge terminated m metal beads.  : With these was given, in a large ornamented box, some yards  of fire  ' crackers\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmany hundreds. At regular but frequent \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd points were  placed small cannons of the same  character, but emitting upon explosion a louder noise\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsymbolical  of the manner in which the Orientals celebrate a great occasion.  But the grateful Chinese had  still another gift for the surprised  doctor\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda pair of giant vases, highly ornamented and set upon finely  carved bases,   intendod\" for   Mjs,  Lawrence.  The explanation of all this is  found in the simple fact that while  Colliery physician, Dr. Lawrence  had given to the Chinese sick the  some assiduous care and skilled  service which distinguished his  treatment of others. In many ways  he had befriended them, and they  took this method to show their, ap-  preciation-^all the more {conspicuous as we know of no one in this  country whom they have honored  in a similar n?anner.
