SEMBRICH ATTACKED.

A message received in Australia by cablo last week, froth Lausanne, Switzerland, says that Mmo. Sembrich, the wellknown operatic prima donna, narrowly escaped death at her villa in that town. A man, who, presumably, entered the House for the purpose of robbery, attacked Mme. Sembrich's companion, Fraulein Meihe, who is known in American theatrical circles as Freda. The attack took place in [ the grounds of the villa, and when tho prima donna rushed to the assistance of her friend she was murderously . handled. The assailant escaped.

A perfect feminine face, it is staied, should mcasuro exactly five times tho width of an oyc across the cheek bones; tho oyo should bo exactly two-thirds the widtli of the mouthj and tho length of the oar exactly ■ twice that of tho eyo. Tho spaco between the cyos should be exactly the length or ono eyo. Tho French naval estimates of expenditure on new ships already_ under construction or to bo laid down in 1911 show an increase of on those for 1910 —the total boinu ,£5,600,000. The laying down of two battleships of 23,000 tons is proposed.
