Among the great women of history there Is not one true blonde. Queen Elizabeth to sing of her found poets golden locks, but historians, less romantic and more truthful, assure us that this was pure poetic license, and that the great queens hair was really fiery red. Petrarchs Laura uad yellow hair, but In herself there Is no claim to fame. She had never been known to the world had It not been for her gifted lovers passion. . The stern, d strong Medlri women were and Cleopatra was Catherine of a swarthy Egyptian. Russia, one of the cleverest, most learned women who ever lived, a woman whose brain planned great measures and whose genius and will executed them, had brown hair.

Had been a brunette it is possible that tC devil would have been beaten at his own game and the fatal apple still uneaten. In our own time the best women writers, teachers, artists and students in all fields are brunettes. The Empress of Germany, a perfect blonde. Is a figure in the royal pageant, no more. Though it must be confessed that any woman, be she dark or fair, would have scant opportunity to be more while the autooratlc William holds sway. Blonde hair is apt to go with a love of sweets and a soft laugh and a brain that can know no earthly bliss beyond a pair of slippers and a ruffled dancing frock.

A Chinese paper published in Pekin has obtained the following details relative to the deaths of the high officials and Prince Chaucliuchiau, Yung-nie- n Chwang, who committed suicide on command of, the emperor. It Is impossible to give the full report, as the details of the actual suicides are given with true Chinese barbarity and unadorned lucidity. The whole account, however, bears the stamp of truth, and the statement of the Chinese court that the three officials had paid the penalty for their crimes, hitherto unproved, may hereby be considered as confirmed. The report runs: Chau- chuchiau ate gold leaf, which is the distinguished method of taking ones o Chinese. Death life among not is caused, by poisoning, as Is generally assumed, but by asphyxia, as the thin gold leaves stick in the air passages. Hoping against hope, however, that the empress would have mercy on him, he took too little, and, as he still lived when the time had elapsed, he took opium and other means to effectuate bis death. His religion forbade him to do this by injuring his body in any way.

The cochineal insect, of which the female, like that of the nearly allied lac insect, alone yields the dye. Is originally a native of Mexico, where it Is parasitic on the leaves of the prickly pear. The males of the coccus cacti, as the species is called, are minute Insects furnished with wings, feathered attetnnae and a long pair of hairlike processes at the hinder extremity of the body.

The Duke of Bedford has Imported recently into England twelve colts from Mongolia. They have been identified with the species known as Prsewalskls horse, a form known for at least 20 years, and discovered by the colonel whose name it bears. The animals represent a distinct species, and not a mere hybrid between the horse and some allied form. There was a wild horse of the Kirghiz steppe called the Tarpan. It is now extinct, but its leanings. it is said, were nearer to the existing and ordinary wild horse than to the Przewalski form.
