To those who may never have seen this emf.
nent parsonage it may be of interest to know
that he is of medium height, broad chested
with long twany locks, sprinkled with gray
and much unkempt, falling over his shoulders;
rather small but brilliant eyes of blue or gray,
a high forehead, with the hair thrown back
and scalp lock standing prominently over
his forefront, face oval, rather long, complex
ion ruddy, features all strongly prominent,
mouth with we'll cut lips, rather full, and ter
mnating in downward tending lines at the
corners, chin with a dimple framed in fat
neither or double chin-these were the chief
distinguishing marks in the physiognomy of
the poet-priest of Southland. His face wore
a serious and almost sad aspect, and it was
only under the influence of some pleasing
thought or lofty inspiration that this almost
stern countenance broke into a marvelously
sweet SMILE

The Best High Jumps.
lLOndOn WOrld.l

A high jump of six 'eet two inches is not an
everyday performance that one should pass i,
by unnoticed when it is made. At the Irish
athletic championship meeting P. DAWN
cleared this wonderful hight, which is within
three-quarters of an inch Of the record of his
own making. Mr.. ]. Brooks, the Oxonian, it
may be remembered, cleared six rect two and
half inches: but no other athlete has ever
got within hail even Of six feet in fair leap.
To most US, although we may not be SO bad
as Leech's stout gentleman, who found hiln-
self unequal to jump over walking stick laid
upon the ground, such leaping almost ap-
proaches the superhuman. Five feet will
probably be more than the average acrobat
can accomplish with all his LONG training.

Strange are the vagaries OF fashion Among
the latest of its freaks is said to be the intro
duction of "prayer rugs" to be used by the
fashionable ladies. They have come from the
misty east, along with japanese goods, hash
ish, ottar of roses, and other delectable things,
and the aroma Of "Araby the blest" is sup
posed to cling to them, even when they are
bought from an Irish Turk on Broadway.
They are described as being similar to those
used by the Mohometans, are usually about
three or four feet in size, and can be distin-
guished by the design, which represents some
large figure at one end and is pointed at the
other. Places are indicated for the hands and
knees. Devout women procure the real
things from an importer, and, without facing
Mecca, humping their heads on the floor, or
removing their shoes and stockings, like the
sons Of the Prophet. still, actually do use
them to kneel on while praying. They are
said to be q great comfort.
