Marie Antoinette In Life

Antoinette is charmingly descnbed m the "Souvenirs of Madame Vegee LeBruB," just published at London. "She was tall," says the madame, "admirably proportioned, pluinp, without being too much so; her anus were lovely; she had small and perfectly shapëd hands, and charming little feet She wiüked better than any woman in Trance ; holding her head very upright, with a inajesty which denoted the sovereign in the midst of her court, without this majestic bearing detracting in the least from the sweetness and grace of her whole aspect. The most remarkable thing about her face was the brilliancy of her complexión. 1 never saw anything like it." It has been observed that there is a periodicity to the spots on the sun, and so f ar as it can be determined it is about eleven years The next probable recurrence will be in the coming two years. There is a general opinión that these phenomena are the cause of lower temperature. While this has not been fully proved, the summer of 1810, so notable f or large spots on the sun, was the coldest on record in this country.
