On the other hand, I missed In him any indication of a lofty spirituality such as might tempt one to think that Elijah had really come again In the flesh. He is a man of signs and wonders, and a born leader and organizer; but hardly more. It is but Just to state that The Lion, an old wooden two decker, is one Royal Navy.

When this select part of Switzerland is accessible by train, as it will be in two years' time, there will be a rush of people, though Its chief advantage at present is that it is not cut up by railways.

At Interlaken the visitors at tho Grand Hotel Victoria were chiefly American. But It ie not only Switzerland that Ameri cans now Invade. "The year 1901," says the Bibllotheque TJnlverselle et Rcvuo Suisse, a widely read magazine ot 108 years' standing and published monthly in Lausanne, "will long bo remembered for the number of Ameri cans and the amount of American capital In England. Formerly it was the English who provided the states with funds and many peo ple have a bitter recollection of unfortunate deposits made in that country fifty or sixty years ago. It used to bo said that when nn American had sucked bis orango dry, he filled It with sawdust and sold it to an Englishman.

Now wo see with a peculiar pleas ure American syndicates putting their money Into underground railways which the present Briton regards with suspicion. 'For soma years Americans have Invaded our race courses and tholr Jockeys have helped to revolutionize the old style of racing: they have also tried, but In vain, to supplant our oarsmen at Henley.

It appears that the rich old man that Miss Getmoncy married Is not so old alter all.

He Is only 67 Instead of 76." 'How very unfortunate. Chicago Record Horald. Minister V7U as a Gallant. "Wu Tingy'Fangr, the Chinese Minister, has reminded ifie in a graceful way that the Cau casian ibfiks as curious to the Mongolian as the Mongolian to the Caucasian, a fact which we forset when we talk about the heathen Chinee.l He did it in response to a toast to "The Uadies," at a dinner in this city not long ago, when he said: "When I see so many finely hullt women confronting me and I any called upon to be the gallant of the mo meit, what can I say but that I wiBh for that iBftiment only that I were not a Chinaman. I should like to be an American as I stand here, so that each one of you would appear as beautiful to me as you actually must when seen through your countrymen's eyes.

Alas! the slight difference in the formation of my orbs cannot do Justice to the impres sion you make upon me, individually and Jointly and severally. But there are some well nourished figures and forms among you Minister "Wu. that really appear to he as fine aB the best that my own fertile country has produced. your intelligence and souls, I am told, which are hidden under your intricate fashionable apparel, are more beautiful even than your forms. May you all feel the depth and I sincerity of my admiration, and may your I youthful looks and honorable years always I walk hand In hand." All of which reminds us that beauty is a question of what we are accustomed to, as well as that much of decency is a matter of convention.

But did you I ever note that the faces of the great men of the different races all approach a common type? LI Hung Chang resembles Bismarck; Senator Piatt, in profile, looks very much like Rameses the Great, and if Minister Wu would dress his hair in the American fashion one I could And among the Caucasians In Washing it ja men who resemble him. After all, how lever, it is the prevailing race type which each I.race regards as beautiful. MELBA'S Protege. We are likely to hear more of Miss Reglna Nagel in the next few months. She is Just now the fad of musical London, thanks to Madame Melba, her compatriot.

Miss Nagel flrst came before the public in Australia about four years ago, where she sang "Ben Bolt" for C. Williamson's tour with "Trilby." Then some friends sent her to Paris to study. She spent three years there an'd a few weeks ago made her debut at a concert in London, and the newspapers there are saying that she is bound to have a great success. She is described as "tall, slender and graceful, with a finely rounded throat land soft, wavy hair crowning a clever, mo IbUe face" and it is said that "to an easy, cultured manner she unites a taste In dress which enables her to realize always that Ideal that baffles so many women smartness and simplicity." Now, why should she not. succeed with these physical graces in her favor and with a voice which Is rich and sympathetic? Who knows anything more delightful than a charming woman who Increases her native witchery with the allure of song? Much could be written of the dramatic triumphs of beautiful women, for we I like our kind and will go miles to see how attractive it can be at Its best.

What DOWIE Is Like. Many things have been said of John Alex uder Dowie, the head of the Zlon Church an Zion City, thirty five miles north of Chi cago. He has been called an enthusiast, a crank, a fraud, and even a lunatic. But ho Hs certainly a man of unusual force, or he could not have accomplished what he has John A. Napes, who has been studying him lately, has this to say about him in an article In the Independent: "Some one has suggested that his claim So be.

the Prophet Elijah is a symptom of Incipient paresis; but this Is a mistake. Exuberant health and extraordinary power over his fellow men, which increases as he gets older, a growing sense of his ability bb an organizer, and a love of exercising tthese gifts, with possibly strange powers of affecting the physical condition of weaker natures; these things have led him to con sider that his own personality has given place to a greater, and that the power and John Alexander Do wie. Mature of Elijah have come upon him. He tioes not meet inquirers into his assertions vlth wild rhetoric or mystical rhapsodies. Ie tells them plainly that, twenty five years ago, when a Jewish gentleman witnessed a vonderfiil case of bis healing powers and Insisted that he was none other than Elijah fwho must first he scoffed at the Idea.

But now he can no longer resist the Conviction that after all he is Elijah. A bareful student of the New Testament finds 10 difficulty In understanding the peculiar position of Dr. Dowle, who is steeped in the he does not magnify himself in his teach ing. He promises healing only where the heart is really given to the Saviour, and sincere prayer is offered to the Lord of all. Unless this, condition of mind exists, he declares himself helpless.

And the moral ity he insists upon Is strict and pure, worthy of his old teacher in Augustine Chapel, Edin burgh. I left the tabernacle with a respect for the prophet and his followers, as men sincerely desirous to act and live according to the teachings of the Scriptures." CARROLL E. SMITH as a Complexion Specialist, Carroll E. Smith, editor of the Syracuse Herald and "regent of the University of the State of New York, has lately taken to giving advice for the preservation of the com plexion in a signed column in his paper. At any rate, it Is signed E.

Mr. Smith has a beautifully ruddy skin, so his advice is valuable. Here 1b his latest prescription: "At many summer resorts the mud treat ment for the complexion is in vogue amon, the pretty girls. It is called a new cure, but really is an old remedy for skin troubles. The Roman face mask made the ancients famous for the whiteness of their skins, Clay is most used, being moistened and made Into a face, and when hot water is used the mask sweats the face and has the same effect as a Turkish bath.

The mud is spread over the face and neck and alllowed to dry; then it ie washed oft with tepid water, after which an astringent wash is used. Used at night a cream is preferable. But the mask is quite as good as the mud and much more pleasant to use. The recipe is to beat up an ezz and mix It with almond meal; then dry until pliable, the process requiring about half an hour. In eummer astringent washes may be used dally under the rule that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure in the case of tan and freckles." WALLACE.

The TOMMY ATKINS Correspondent. Not long ago the Eagle published a generous tribute to the work and worth of Edgar Wallace, the London Daily Mail's war correspondent. This tribute was from the pen of Julian Ralph, the Eagle's London rep resentative, and himself Mr. Wallace's predecessor in the campaigns on the veldt. It was the first adequate review of a personality and career which have since become better known on noth sides of the Atlantic.

Mr. Wallace has lately achieved additional note because of his statement touching the alleged atrocities at Vlakfonteln and his consequent attack upon the press censorship which he openly charged had prevented the English public from learning the true state of affairs in South Africa. First a soldier in the ranks and later a correspondent, living with the private and not with the officer, sharing with the humblest all the privileges and all the danger of the firing line, skirmishing with the pickets and sniping with Edgar Wallace, War Correspondent of the London Daily JIall. the outposts, Wallace learned to appreciate war and to write about It as few men have done since Stephen Crane died and Kipling took to the magazines. His style is vigorous, picturesque, and vivid and when he is really stirred he can strike straight and hard.

One who knows him well has this to say about him: "Mr. Wallace is about twenty seven years of age, a well built man with a military carriage and the face and eyes of a man who is sure to meet with adventures. He Is an excellent type of the pushful Anglo Saxon, fearless, with plenty of natural caution, buoyant and breezy in personality and crisply conversational. He is the sort of Englishman one expects to meet, thoroughly at home In the most out of the way places, and always giving the idea that he is ready to go to an opposite pole at a minute's notice. He has the vague cosmopolitan air that cannot be imitated, the bearing of a man who has seen life in strange places, and is able to hold his own anywhere." CBISPI'S Love Affairs.

The matrimonial experiences of Crispi attracted almost as much attention during his life as his political achievements. They were described in a book published in Paris about ten years ago, entitled "Crispi, l'Homme Publique, l'Homme Prive." Its author was M. F. Narjoux. From it the following facts are taken, which may be interesting now that people are thinking of the dead Italian: After having taken his degree he settled as barrister at Palermo at the age of 22, and married the daughter of the house where he lodged.

Two years later Rosina Sclarra. his wife, died, and the young man lived for some time entirely for his work and for his country, having become one of the most ardent and enthusiastic of the "Young Italy" party. A little later Crisp! was imprisoned in the Palais Mandaures, at Turin, for talcing part in a revolutionary movement. One morning Crispi looked sadly at the ray of sun which crept between the inner bars In the window of his cell, when the door opened and a pret ty girl appeared on the threshold, smilingly offering her services to him. Her namo was Rosalie Montmasson; she was In the service of the prison laundress.

She was the niece of the wife of the turnkey and had the run of the prison. It was not long before she was in love with her handsome client, her illustrious prisoner, and Crispi returned her love. Soon after Crispi was released and went to Malta without any means of subsist of the ships In which boys are trained for the early age ana are careruny taught the art and old time fashion on the occasion of a recent A.

Rosalie, who was always loving, devoted and full of courage, found some work to do, and Crispi, together with other exiles, founded a small paper, La Staffetta.

He wanted to marry her and" a Jesuit priest was found to perform the religious ceremony which, we are told, Crispi, who was a lawyer, thought was all that was needed to make her his wife. Not long after the marriage the pair fled to London. After the revolution in which he took part Crispi sat as deputy for Palermo in the Turin parliament; he became vice president of the chamber and everywhere in Italy the name of the eloquent lawyer, politician and statesman had become a household word. Rosalie Montmasson, as Mme. Crispi, had naturally followed her husband from place to place.

Crispl's adherents of former days presented to his wife a diamond cross for her services to their cause; honors pounced upon her; she had been presented to the King, surrounded and flattered by her hus band's friends, complimented by amiable of ficials, and her head had been turned. Dressed In the "loudest" of colors, laden with Jewelry and always surrounded by whole menagerie of pet animals, she had become almost demented, and one day when Crispi came home and found her hopelessly drunk he could bear the yoke no longer and went in despair to seek refuge with his old friend Tamajo, who proved a friend in need The marriage ceremony, he explained, to the husband's "intense astonishment," had been a fraud and the bonds could easily be loos ened. Rosalie, persuaded by Tamajo, con sented to a separation, and Crispi became once more free "to leave the hell in which he had been living." One day in 1872 Crispi was at a reception in Palermo. Walking through the crowded rooms he heard an impatient female voice demanding that Fran cesco Crispi might be pointed out to her. The voice had a peculiar charm for Crispi.

It was sweet, harmonious, and he was sure the woman to whom it belonged was young and fair. He did not look around, but he felt the eyes of the stranger, who, he heard, was a young widow, fixed upon him all the evening. Next day Crispi made a great speech In Parliament. The stranger was there again. Their eyes met, and from that moment he spoke for her only.

At Rome they met again; Crispi forgot his politics, his ambition and his country and thought only of love. He loved a woman who was worthy of his love and his love was returned. They were married by a religious ceremony only, the civil marriage being for the time omitted by Crispi in order to prevent public attention from being attracted and to avoid causing Rosalie Montmasson an outburst of Jealousy. A year afterward their only child, Peppina, now a handsome girl of 17 years, who is about to be engaged to the Duke de Commano, was born, and a few years later the civil marriage took place at which made Madame Crispi the law ful wile of her husband. An opponent of Crispi, Nicotera, who bad been Minister of the Interior before Crispi was intrusted with the post, had seen the husband and wife and their witnesses coming from the mu nicipio after the civil marriage, and It was due to his inquiries that a statement was published in the Piccolo newspaper accusing Crispi of bigamy.

In 1878 Crispi retired from the ministry and tho crown brought a charge of bigamy against him in Naples, which, however, ended in a verdict for the ac cused, who afterward returned to his place tne cnamoer. LOUIS NAPOLEON and the French Throne. The latest report about Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is that he Is to be made Emperor of the French through a revolution led by his adherents on September 14, the date of his promotion to a full generalship In the Russian Amy. One does not have to believe this unless he feels like it, and as Dr. Chadwick would say, one's "believing power" would have to be highly developed before he could regard it as true.

Revolutions do not happen In this way. This Napoleon was to marry Queen Wllhelmlna of Holland a while ago, nccording to the Bonapartists, and Russia was to back him in an effort to ascend the throne of France. But he did not marry Wllhelmina and France still has a president. Indeed, John Blgelow, who has been United States Minister in Paris, said some time ago that when the republic had become so firmly established that it was possible to elect a tanner to tho presidency, instead of a soldier or a professional man, or a man akin to the old aristocracy, there was little hope for the Bonapartists or the Orloanists, or for the monarchy at all. But this state of affairs will not prevent talk about a Napoleonic restoration.
