WHY THEY SHOULD DE

THE SECRET.

Ая nation we have physical assets our clear skina, rich hair, and bright eyes-and these should give us a good start; but in the race for looks we are outdistanced by other women-by Parisian and American.
Neither of these is ever daunted by the fact that Nature has not blessed her with a pretty face or in goud. figure. She dresses well and carries herself as grandly as hor beautiful sisters-indeed, she assumes rather more of an air than they with the happy result that an ill-dressed, plain, or ungraceful woman is seldom seen in France or in America.
"L'audace, l'audace, toujours Faudace," is one of the soundest maxims ever laid down. Even the audacity of ugliness proves яuc- coasiul. "There are no ugly women, only some women who do not know how to look: pretty," said Antoine Berrnger, the French ad- vocate.

A WEIRD SCENE.
London, Jan. 7. In the neighbourhood of the Em-1 bankment the police had to hustle dazed and terror-stricken families from basements, and women and children were rescued in their night-clothes from the in-rushing
water.
The weirdness of the scene was intensified by fire brigades dashing to the danger-spots over

CRIME COMMON AMONG ANIMALS.
Robbery, murder, kidnapping, drunkenness," counterfeiting, even "crimes of passion," play a part in the lives of animals and insecte, according to a writer in the Parle

For nearly every vice or crime of which human beings are guilty one can find, he asserts, a counter- part in nature. We read:
"The rogue elephant, who runs amok for no apparent reason des- troying man and beast, has been described by Kipling and many other writers. Outlaw hates have likewise been made hero or villain of countless tales. Mares have been known to kidnap foals and hide them away. Trusted sheep dogs from time to time have drop- ped their daytime mask of protec- tor of the flock and at night have set forth as blood-thirsty killers of the very sheep given into their care. Birds, frequently of the most charming and harmless species in appearance, are also in the assassin class, this trait becom- ing more pronounced after a period of imprisonment in a cage.
"Insects, particularly bees and ants, display wickedness. Ants will mass in army fashion and des troy a nalghbour state.. Brigand bees, too lazy to work, are common assailants of well-stocked hives.
