At What Age Girls, should Marry.

The value of the literary symposium
was never more severely tested than in
The Brooklyn Magazine, when an at
tempt was made to decide at what age
girls should marry. The opinions thus
gathered do NOS, however, materially
differ. Miss Lotlisa M. AIcott, speaking
theoretically, says, @from % to e5 is the
suitable age" Mrs Lucy Stone thinks
rs to 80 preferable. Mrs. Rebecca Hard
-inga Davis says q womans should not
marry until fully developed in mind and
body. As the time of Development in in
dividuals varies, Mrs. Davis declines to
give definite figures, She believes that
smarriage based on pure affection is
better, even under the worst circum-
stances, than single life under the best.
Mrs. Julia c. r. Dorr thinks the best age
for girls marriage is between 90 and
%. Mrs. Mary L. Booth warns girls
against immature marriages and declines
to commit herself to figures. She can,
however, be set down as favoring mar
riages between 25 and 80. Mrs. A. d.
T. Whitney says the answer can not be
put in figures, because it is matter that
should vary with an varying conditions
and developments. = Atlanta Constitu-

Are We Losing Our Teeth.
The alternative as to whether man was
created or developed can no longer be
raised now that we are exercising the
free use of reason. Mans dentition has
to be judged from our experience made
in the mammalian group, Hence, first
of all it is reduced dentition. True, we
do not know the definite stages bywhich
it was attained by man, any more than
we do in the case of the; anthropomors
phoids, and alf the other apes of the old
world, but we shall not hesitate to main
tain that the ancestors of man possessed
fuller number or teeth as long as de
auctions are justified from the observe,
ton of facts.
Our teeth have decreased in numbsa
during the course Of our geologico-
geological developnient; we have loston
either side, above and below, two In
cisors, two premolars and one molar.
BY this we transfer ourselves back to
those periods from which the jaw of the
otocyon has been preserved. Baume, our
eminent odontologist, in a recent work
has successfully followed and pointed
out cases of atavism or reversion in the
human jaw, by tracing cases Of surplus
teeth-and certain dental formations met
with in the jaws in large percentage
of cases-back to those portions of the
jaw in the animal ancestors of man
which have disappeared in the course Of
ages.-Oscar Schmidt in Popular Science

Cause Of Colds in the Spring.

This is the time of year to secure the
largest and most troublesome stock of
bad cold that the human system can &C
commodate. No one need catch cold
now-such cold win catch them without
the slightest effort. For the weather is
always changeable and frequently .disa-

pleasant temperature invites to exercise

dress, forwhat may be comfortable one
hour may be unbearable the next, It is
cold, hot, temperate, bright, clear,
cloudy, raining, or showing all within
eight or ten hours. The only thing to be
done is to watch the weather closely and

that they have had the same old cold for
several consecutive seasons and believe
they can identify it even when it fasteni

EARLY PORTRAITS OF CHRIST. !

Suppression of Jewish ,,Art-Portraiture
In Hsathen Hands-Ideal Pictures.
Years ago the writer saw picture
with this inscription: 1.-THE only true like
ness Of our Saviour, taken from one
carved on an emerald, by command Of
Tberius Caesar, and given from the treas-
ury Of Constantinople by the emperor of
the Turks to Pope Innocent VIII, for the
redemption of his brother, taken captive
by the Christians. Further search dis
covered the.saine picture associated with
different incidents, and led to study of
the pictorial conceptions of our. Lord in
sacred art. In the time of Christ super
stition had suppressed all pictorial jew
ish art even in portraiture, and though
skilful and ingenious in all else, no Jew
dared to paint portrait, and no strict
one would even allow his own to be
painted, for fear Of a violation OF the
second commandment.
Portraiture was, therefore, almost ex-
clusively in heather hands, and oonsum-
mate as was Greek art in painting the
faces and forms of men, 1t had small
scope In that little Syrian province Of
the Roman world, where q painter was
an outcast. The first pictures of Christ
were probably the work of some of His
own disciples, and gradually as those
who loved him desired to see His face
with the eyes of sense, the less scrupu-
lous Gnostics, with their rudsr form Of
Greek art, repeated, again and again
some prototype well known to them, but
unknown to us. Very early in Christian
history-as early, indeed, as we have
any history outside of the gospels-there
was some well-known ideal, and many
copies, though varying among them
selves, distributed among the Oriental
churches in Asia and Africa, not always
the same in every detail, but 80 uniform
IN general that they were distinguished
at sight. =. ts3sfs ~ r. I q
The earliest known historical mention
of such work, though only incidental, is
made by Tertullian thorn in A. D. 1907,
who criticises picture of Jesus as @in-
correct" and wanting in resemblance"
This implies that there was a correct
type, which q true picture should re-
semble. Nothing better illustrates the
number and antiquity Of such pictures
than the fact that the earliest ecclesiast-
ical historian, Eusebius, in $40, speaks of
them as very plenty, and some of them
already very ancient, and associated
with traditions of miraculous origin.
Augustine, in the next century, speaks
of "a variety of numberless pictures"
and alludes to some of them as ancient.

J, Rainy Season of Southern California. !

:, Rainy Season of Southern California.
Easternipeople as a rule, I think, have
avery erroneous idea OF. what is termed
the rainy season in southern California.
In the last 140 days there has been
twenty-five rainy ones, nearly as many
more cloudy ones when no rain fell, and
the remainder as beautiful sunshiny days
as ever seen. One may just as well call
may and June in. Michigan the rainy
season because it rains in those months
as to call the winter a rainy season in
southern California. I, suppose, how
ever, it is called the rainy season because
it is, about the Only season when, it does
rain here. As Helen Hunt jackson has
expressed it, "Summer is the season
when it cannot rain, but sometimes does,
while winter is the season when it can
rain but sometimes does not."'-Pasadena
