The first man known to have officiated
as judge at a beauty show was that old

gay young Trojan huge bribes. Juno's

Minerva's, military renown and wisdom;

cided in favor of the Queen of Love. She
paid the specified price for her triumph,
and Paris ran away with Helen. The two
defeated goddesses took revenge for the
"injury of theirslighted forma," and when
the Greeks went whooping about the gates
of Troy the prince probably felt that it
"would have been $10 in his pocket had ho
never been born."
They manage affairs of this kind bettor
f n these later and mora practio-il days
that is, at least Dr. D. A. Sargent, of the
Harvard university gymnasium, does.
Three years ago the doctor offered cash
prizes for the man and woman, students of
his system of physical culture, who could
show, at an examination to be held in the
summer of 1890, the most perfect sym
metry of form, the candidates to be be
tween the ages of 17 and 30 Three thou
sand persons entered the contest. It was
one entirely different from that in which
Paris came to grief. There waa no chanco
for bribery or favoritism. When the lists
closed and the period of probationary ex
ercise ended each fair maiden and stalwart
youth was subjected to what is known as
the percentile system. The tape of the

Bon by per&on, every item of size. Here is
the list of measurements
Height Standing, sitting, knee, pubic arch
and btermim.

and wrist.
Depth Chest and abdomen.
Breadth Head, neck, shoulders, waist, hips,
shoulder elbow and elbow tip.
Also lungth of foot, horizontal length and

The female winner under these exacting
conditions was Miss Margaret Blanche
Best, of Meadvillc, Pa. She is the daugh
ter of Dr. David Best, a graduate of La
Salle seminary, at Auburndale, Mass., and
follows the calling of a teacher. She is 25
years old, and has been one of Dr. Sargent's
pupils for twelve months. The doctor said
recently:
"Miss Best is 5 feet 5 inches in height.
My tables show thnt 82' per cent, of all
women are shorter than she is, and 17
per cent, are taller. Her weight is 130
pounds. My tables show that S21' per cent,
of all women weigh less, and 17) per cent,
weigh more. That is, with all other wom
en to judge from, Miss Best's height and
weight are in just the same proportion; m
other words, symmetrical."
Tho preceptor, naturally, would give no
details in inches of the other measure
ments. Henry C. Jackson, who gained the prizq

them, Dr. A. Weisbach, chief physician to

stantinople, who enjoyed exceptional ad
vantages, has taken measurements of sev
eral hundreds of persons representing
nineteen different peoples. His report gives
heights in millimeters. A millimeter is
.03937 of an inch. Jackson is 73 inches
tall, or nearly 1,555 millimeters, and here
is the way he towers above other race

Weisbach's statistics.

What an iconoclast science isl In some
phases of its research it would seem to be
bworn foe to sentiment and romance. Now
that Dr. Sargent's new style of beauty con
testwhere inexorable weights and meas
ures reign has come into vogue, the ver
dict of the eye must be regarded with dis
trust. It will be safe no longer for Mr.
McGinty to declare that Sallie Waters is
the finest girl in town, for Captain Jinks
may be expected to respond at once: ".No,
sir; you are mistaken. Her measure
ments, according to the percentile system,
do not come within ten marks of those
that record the superb lines of the peerless
Annie Rooney."
Ideals and hitherto recognized standards
must also fail. I know a courtly gentle
man of middle age who is a bachelor to
day because a quarter of a century ago

place on her list of husbands. She is his
ideal yet. It is his not nnpleasing custom,
when the subject of handsome women is
under discussion, to descant upon the glo
rious loveliness of his lost sweetheart. He
knows her history from tho hour when she
was born at New Orleans, in 1835, and bap
tized Dolores Adios Fuertes, to the autumn
day of 18CS when she found sepulture in a
Paris cemetery. He can give quaint remi
niscences of all the men she married Men
ken the musician, Heenan the pugilist,
Newell tho author and Barclay the capital
ist. Tears stand in his eyes when he
quotes tho pathetic poetry she wrote while
dying, and she seems to smile before him
in all the oriental charm of her insolent
nr-ignificenco as he tells of her theatrical
triumphs as Mazeppa at Astley's. Some
day while ho chants the Menken's praises
there is the possibility that a believer in
the percentile system will ask:
"What vero her measurements?"
Then trouble will follow, for the old
bachelor has a short temper and a strong
arm.
Until tho present the Greek type that
preserved for us in the sculptured works
of ancient masters has been the generally
acknowledged standard of perfect physical
beauty. Hermes and Xiobo still gaze with
the changeless youth of marble upon the
modern world, of which their makers never
dreamed. Apparently they are faultless

Work of the Vegetarians.
The recent conclaves of vegetarians in
America and England have been of advan
tage even to the scoffers. The foes of
animal food have at least demonstrated
that such things as beans nnd peas and
cauliflower may bo so artistically dressed
as to cause even the gourmet to regard
them as ends in themselves, and not merely
as the subsidiary adjuncts of a chop or
steak. A London paper, commenting on
the vegetarian, says "that tho majority of
Englishmen eat more meat than is good
for them a habit which is due not so much
to the perversity of their dispositions as to
the incompetence of their cooks." It is a
little queer, by the way, that these British
cooks, who aro denounced at home for in
competency, find easy employment and big
salaries in tho kitchens of wealthy Ameri
cans who think nothing worth their use
unless it is imported.
To Marry a Prince.
Another American young woman is to
marry a prince. The announcement is
made at Dresden that Miss Anna Hallings
worth Price is engaged to wed Prince Fred
erick Wilhelm of Ardeck, a lieutenant of
the Second Prussian Hussar regiment.
The Prince of Ardeck was born at Offen-bach-on-the-Main
in lS.Bf and is the son of
Prince William of Hesse.
The Widow of President Tolk.
At her home near Nashville, Tenn., tho
widow of President James K. Polk recent

Annually she receives the members of the
state legislature with all the dignity and
grace that characterized her when mistress
of the White House.

who in private life is known as the Count

her mother, who is SO years of age. She

selling; Tobacco la Danville.
It is an interesting sight to see the
hundreds of covered tobacco wagons
come to market Large ware hauses are
ready to offer every inducement to farm
ers to sell their load. Driveways lead
to the great floors where the load is as
sorted in piles according to grade, hav
ing been weighed first while on the
truck. Each pile is tagged with the
name, of the owner and the weight,
with a place for the buyers name and
price. Many farmers remain over night,
for they arrive at all hours of the day
and night. Free stables and other ordi
nary comforts are provided.
There are ten ware houses in Danville,
N. C. They are divided into two series
of five each, and public sales are con
ducted in two at the same time. Under
the direction of the Tobacco Exchange
the order of sales is arranged. Placards
are posted at different poiuts, "First sale
at Neal's," "Second sale at Acree's," and
so on, each warehouse taking its assigned
turn until all five have sold out first to
day, the last to-morrow. Each ware
house has its own auctioneer, clerks,
and most of the firms buying having
two sets of buyers to attend on the two

Compressed Air Torpedo.
Still another torpedo, this one the in
vention of an Austrian count, Buona
corsi by name, has made its appearance
in the European naval and military
world. According to official and private
reports of the trials of this instrument
they were eminently successful, givinj.
results superior even to those obtained
from the Whitehead. The motive power
is compressed air, acting directly from a
reservoir upon tho propeller without an
assistance or intervention from machin
ery. The propulsion is effected by twin
screws working inversely and giving a
velocity greater and more continuous, it
is contended, than any obtained in other
torpedoes. One remarkable feature of
this invention is the faculty of auto
matic guidance, which enables it to
avoid protective nets and shields, and to
dive any distance before rising to give
its blow. Exchange.
The Time to Gather Flowers.
Do not gather flowera while the sun is
shining upon them, but choose instead
the early morning, or the hour after the
sun has gone down. Avoid pulling or
tearing from the plant; cut with 3hirp

varieties having a large stalk or stem
rub a little dirt over tho wound. Al
ways leave as long a stem as possible,
