NOTES
FOR WOMEN.
John Ilr.VTK.n the famous anatomist,
once said that the feminine love of con
versation w as a consequence of a pecul
iarity in hrain tissue.
As autIsts, women have shown more
taste than oricdnality. They paint
landscapes and portraits lieautifnlH",
hut rarely achieve (jreat pictures.
The hrain of woman is ahsolntoly
smaller than that of man, hut is stated
to he somewhat larircr in proportion to
the weight of the hotly.
A woman with a military nose and
prominent chin is certain to make her
mark. All female society leaders have

BASILICA OF PARIS.
Little Ha lleen lleavrd or I .Ate About the
I'rogrea, of lurmtruetlon.
Little lias heen heard of late ahon t t he
proo-ri-ssof the const ruction of the Mont
uiarlre hill, known as the I'.asili. a of
the Sacre Cirur, .says tin' L union Daily
Tclerraih. The vast mass of masonry
(.'listens in the sun. which this after
noon was summer-like in its intensity.
The Masiliea dominates the metropolis
of France Ly its toweriiiff hcio-ht. Jt
may Le seen from various xiiuts alono;
the Louh'vards. hut hardly one Parisian
in a hundred seems to take any interest
in its existence.
Pilo-rims and religious people pen

of the Mount of Martyrs, hut the ordi

Hi' is content to know that it i- Leim;

Le almost a relief to hear that those
who are oro-anizi njr it s const met ion had
determined to take the sea tToldinj,'
away and to let the church stand as an
incomplete sH-ciinen of ecclesiastical
architecture, like the Cathedral of Col-
'one.
ll is useless to tell Parisians, as thev
are informed to-day, after a lon-r spell
of silence, that the works of the P.as
iliea are Immiio; pushed forward with
activity, and that .".nn men are enira-d
in puttiup; the tr dome in iositioii. It
was supx,se,l that the dome in ques

it is stated that it will require many
111. .lit lis to complete it. The hoi fry w ill

had received "J7..V.I J.tNMl francs, or ."!.
