ODD NOTIONe Of BlikerY.—lt is by no means surprising that different nations should have various ideas of what consti tutes beauty. when no two persons can suite, agren on the point, one preferring one style and the second another style. The French, even to this day, as far as the female sex is concerned, admire snub noses] Napoleon preferred a long nose, which, he said; be always found associa ted with a long head. Ancient Persians considered an aquiline nose as the symbol of. majesty. Red hair is abhorred by the imodeth Persians, and admired by the Turia, The Roman ladies of old coveted, fiery-: locks, and their successors in Italy, Icif our own . day, are possessed with a Math equally equally Furprising. Teeth dyed red hive, by nations in central Asia, been considered beautiful, while in parts of western India black teeth are preferred by the native belles. If by ns an elacn complexion is not accounted quite the highest style of beautyy there are people to be found in numbers who entertain a different. impression. When the slaves - in.the West Indies were emancipated, at a dinner given by colored people, to com memorate the event, the health of Sir Lionel Smith, the governor of Jamaica, was propmed by 'an enthusiastic negro, who, lavishing in his praise of his 'excel lency, concluded with the assertion, by , the way of climax, that "If Sir Lign,el had a white face he bad, at least a black heart 1" . It is said that when Job Ben Solomon, an African prince, was in Eng— land, he had an interview with Dr. Watts, who, with mere curiosity thanpoWnesa, inquired bow it chanced thst'he and his countrymen ,were l black, seeing they bad descended from Adam a white man 1 . The answer was prompt : "Adam white man ! How yOn know dat ? We link Adam black man, and we ask you bow you Came white." :WOrLDN P T MAAR?
