Intellprt In Sex. The common impression that the av erage man is miperlor to the n vertigo woman intellectually at least in origi nality, inventiveness, reasoning power ami the like ia beyond doubt due to the common habit of Judging each sex by its most superior representatives. This seems fair enough and would be fair enough, but for the difference between the sexes in variability that is, the range of spreading down from aud up above the average, in intellectual traits nt least the male sex is the more varia ble group. The very highest and very lowest marks in a mixed college class will commonly be given to men; the variability found among boys in the numerous mental tests which have been given by psychological investiga tors is from 5 to 10 per cent greater than that found among girls. Of the .thousand most eminent intellects of history 1)7 per cent are men, the varia bility which causes the monopoly of genius causing also the existence of twice as many male as female idiots! Bookman. Eqnnl to the Kmersrency. Being equal to an emergency helps one out of plights into which the best of us sometimes fall. A eertain actor came so belated to the theater one evening when he was to play Othello In the tragedy of that name that he for got to blacken his hands and rushed on the stage with them white and his face sooty. Of course the audience giggled, and poor Othello, when he realized the cause of the mirth, was almost unable to proceed with his part and so deeply mortified that, when he made his exit after his first scene, he declared that he conld not finish the performance, but a happy thought struck him. He procured a pair of flesh colored gloves, blackened bis bands, put the gloves on and walked quietly on again. There was quite a little tittering aa the Moor went on with his lines, but it entirely subsided as during a speech of one of the other' characters the dusky lover carefully drew off his gloves, disclosing hands to match bis face. Then those whose rl8lblcs had been affected felt small and awkward. Unman' Address to the Elector. The elder Dumas stood in 1848 for the chamber of deputies, and this was his address to the electors: "I am a candidate for the office of deputy. I ask your votes. These are my reasons why you should give them to me: Not counting six years devoted to the ac quirement of an education, four years passed in performing the duties of a notary and seven years bb an employee of the government, I have worked ten hours a day for twenty years. That makes 73,000 hours. During those twen ty years I wrote 400 volumes and 35 i ra 1. . i. a nn i.. average of 4,000 copies have been printed and sold at 5 francs each. The v35 plnys have each been performed on nn average 100 times. My books have produced 11,8Ti3,600 francs; my plays have produced 6,300,600 francs. Taking 8 francs a day as the average pay of a worklngman, and as there are 300 working days in the year, my books have paid for twenty years the wages of 692 people and my plays the wages for ten years of 347 people. But the last figure must be multiplied by 3 to Include the provinces, making 1,041, And adding 70 for the usliera, chiefs of the claque and cab drivers makes a to tal of 1,4."8. riays and books, then, nave paid tne wages of H.lbl) people for all these years, not counting Belgian pirates aud foreign translators." Yet he was not elected. A Rare Article Indeed. A little girl not long ago displayed a lit of feather black, as it happened to a caller at the house. This man looked impressed and inquired gravely, "What Is that Nelly, an angel's wing?" The child slowly shook her head.

Singular the coincidence aud deserv ing mention that three presidents of the fulled States elected to the world's highest offlcn at five successive presidential electiniis should have had close and direct personal connection with Kentucky, says the Louisville Herald. Abraham Lincoln, elected In 1SIS0 and in 1S04. was born in Hardin county. Ulysses S. (irant, elected pres ident In lSiW and 1872, attended the celebrated Muysvlllo academy, con ducted by Jacob W. Hand aud William W. Richesuii, of that beautiful and his toric little city. Among the school mates of General Grant at Mnysvllle were the late Hon. Walter Newman Ilaldeman of Louisville, founder of the Courier-Journal; Hon. Thomas II. Nel son, United States minister to Mexico; the Hon. William Henry Wadsworth of the Mexican claims commission; Richard II. Collins, historian of Ken tucky, and many others. General Grant always entertained a warm feel ing for Kentucky and delighted when president to give olllelal recognition to sons of the old commonwealth 011 whose soil he had spent happy days. So well, indeed, did General Grant think of Kentuckians that as far back us the election of 1800 lie voted for John Cabell Breckinridge, then re garded as first of Kentucky's favorite sonB, for president of the United States. Not many are aware that James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, elected president In 1856, was a resident dur ing an interesting period of Hardin county, which had given birth .to the great American destined to succeed him in the presidency. It was in 1813 that James Buchanan took up his res idence at Ellzabethtown. Five years before, in the very county of which Ellzabethtown was then and Is now the county seat, had been born a child, Abraham Lincoln, destined to achieve higher honors and a greater name In history than even Buchanan himself, considered in his day one of the most fortunate of American public men. Buchanan's father had purchased as an investment some property near Ellzabethtown. Giving it to his son, he bade him settle In the new land of promise and grow up with it Buchan an, then three and twenty, a college graduate and a lawyer, had little fit ness for the rough and ready sides of frontier life. Attending the first term of court after his arrival, he noticed among the visiting lawyers the cele brated Ben Hardin, in a suit of un bleached tow linen, 111 fitting and bad ly built, giving lta gifted wearer a clownish appearance. Buchanan felt surprised to see this ungainly looking personage take a seat among the law yers. A case was called the third day of the term In which the pleadings were very intricate, and after the strictest English forms before the days of Chit ty. The future president's wonder was inexpressible when he saw Hardin take bold of this case with astonishing skill and force. The arguments of the rough looking Kentucky lawyer were masterpieces of learning, logic and clearness. Before he left the courtroom that day young Buchanan resolved that where such 111 favored looking lawyers possessed so much learning and power there was small show for a budding Pennsylvania tenderfoot Rather than struggle for success at the bar with such giants as Hardin and his col leagues he would go back to his native Keystone commonwealth. Meeting Mr. nardin afterward In congress, 1821 23, Mr. Buchanan declared that he went to Kentucky expecting to be a great man there, that so many lawyers he came In contact with were bis equals and so many again his superiors that he gave it up. Thus Ben Hardin's ill fitting suit of unbleached tow linen may have chang ed the whole course of American his tory. Chief End In Civic Art. To make utility the vehicle of beauty is a chief end in civil art, says the Century. Use and beauty have too commonly been regarded as necessarily separated attributes! Things of utility must be commonplace, and it is imma terial If the commonplace be ugly; Its very ugliness makes us appreciate all the more the beauty of things rare, kept precious and apart that Is the view the multitude has been led to take, and from which even many ar tists are not exempt. It was an old fashioned custom to Isolate all the nice things of the household In the best room, which was too precious to live In. But the modern practice is to make the whole bouse as beautiful as possible. We now see that Just be cause the "best room" went used, Its contents deemed beautiful, really made ft a chamber of horrors. A forced fa miliarity with ugliness dulls the taste for beauty. 1 So unless the eyes are wonted to the beautiful by seeing It on every aide, resident In the most com mon things, beauty at its best cannot be given to the things set apart to wear It as a garment of state, as In statues, monuments and public buildings. A Novel Raee. A novel race was Introduced at a Madras fair. It was a handicap of all animals bred in the country, the com petitors Including buffaloes, elephants, a goat, ram, emu, elk, besides ponies and horses. The elephants were placed ns If moving in a marriage procession and went over the course at a quick walk. The ram and goat, ridden by little boys, ran well, and the buffaloes went at a good gallop, but the. emu would not stir, neither would the elk, until the end of the race, when it took fright and darted down the coarse at great speed. Finally a ram was the winner, a horse coming In second and a buffalo third. VANISHED TREASURES. M;'.aterpiecea of Art That Are Lost to the World. The "Venus de Milo," which has been In the Louvre for many years is, as all the world knows, an imperfect piece of sculpture, though It is the greatest treasure of Its kind the world has ever seen. A great reward would bo given the man who could find the missing parts. About 1878 the most Important of them the right nrm came to light in London and was proved by experts to be genuine. The owner, however, refused to part with It and concealed it for feur it would be stolen. Unfor tunately ho died without revealing its hiding place, so It is as much lost as ever. A bronze drinking cup which was stolen from nn Egyptian temple In 1739 and brought to Europe has mirac ulously disappeared. On It is engraved the wholo history of the Pharaohs, aud it could easily be sold for f 100,000. In fact, the French government offered a reward of $14,000 for its discovery, but the famous cup has vanished, probably forever. Another treasure which hns vanished In ns strange a way is the Marcella vase of the Dresden collection. This Is the only piece missing from the fa mous Dresden Marcella collection, the value of which Is said to be $75,000. It beam the cross arrows and the lion's head. Not long ago the vase was said to be in England, but, be that as it may, the person who rediscovers this treasure may command any price In reason for It. How it is possible that a treasure so large as a painting could be lost sight of entirely fs not easily explained, but this has often happened. One of Reyn olds' paintings. "Countess of Derby," which is considered his best portrait has disappeared. Not long after It was painted It disappeared from the collection of the Earl of Derby and has never been heard of since, though It would bring $150,000 to the finder. There are also two Vandykes and a Rembrandt missing, for which collect ors are willing to pay $200,000. The Earl of Crewe would give a large sum for the return of a Cupid which some vandal cut from the portrait of the for mer Countess of Crewe and her son, who was painted as the sprite. St Louis Republic. THE STAGE KISS. It Teat the tienlna of the Actor and the Actreaa. The stage kiss is importnut. There is nothing which so tests the genius of an actor and nn nctress as the ability under just such circumstances to pro duce the Illusion of love. On the stage It Is necessary for them to forget their own personalities, to smother their own feelings, one for the other, and in the place of the warped though genu ine kiss we see at the railroad station and the steamship wharf present to our eyes by the magic of their acting a highly nrtliich.l product. And this hl.v.hly artificial product, be cause It Is art uud because It Is pro duced by art, Impresses us as real and genuine where the actually real and genuine would have filled us only with derision and contempt, Just as real tears on the stage would fail to move us. Indeed, the best stage kisses, the kisses that are most convincing In the way of realism, are usually given and received by actors aud actresses whose feeling for each other In private life Is, to sny the least, Indifferent. Frequent ly, if audiences only knew, they watch loveinnking on the stage between men and women who are literally at dag gers' points with each other. I would not go so far as to say that such a state of feeling always contrib utes to good stage lovemaking and to realistic stage kissing, but I do know that It Is an axiomatic truth, recog nized by theatrical managers every where, not to engage playfolk lovers to enact similar roles In a drama If It Is at all possible to get any one else. Blanche Ring In "The Psychology of the Stage Kiss." Inil!(totlon. The following cure for indigestion is recommended by the eminent Dr. Bond In the London Lancet, a medical Jour nal of world wide repute. "The indigestion must be a very hopeless one," says Dr. Bond, "which will not yield to n diet of a small cup of warm milk to which a teaspoonful of rum hns been added, followed by a plain biscuit or two and some very mild cheese, paradoxical as this com bination may seem." According to Dr. Bond, there is a subtle harmony between these ingre dients that does the business. Earthquake Gowns. In 1750 there was a great earthquake in England, and Horace Walpolo re cords that "several women have made 'earthquake gowns' that is, warm gowns to sit out of doors all night." Walpolo also tells that "Turner, a great china man at the corner of the next street had a Jar cracked by the shock. He originally asked 10 guineas for the Jar. lie now asks 20, because it is the only Jar In Europe that had been crocked by an earthquake." Mended It. "I have never given you credit for knowing very much, madam," said a blnnt old bachelor, "but" "Sir!" she Interrupted. "Do you wish to lnsult"- "But," he continued, "I have always admired your grace and beauty." "I accept your apology," said til lady. Knew She Wns Fretty.
