he is well preserved and perfectly
healthy, To show how we'll preserved
he really is it is only necessary to state
that the doctor practices his profession
as actively and with as much success
as might man of half his years. His
father was surgeon in the army of
Germany. He was killed at the age of

his duties on a battlefield. The aged

his native land until 1885, when polit-

in the East, he came West, and settled
in Ohio. The doctor has smoked regu-
larly since ne was SO, but never in

is up to date in his knowledge OF
medicine, and looks forward to many
more years of active life.

ii so, to which the present Duchess Of

late Lord Rosslyn there were discov-

Der, Lady Millicent, daughter OF the

ly afterwards proposed to her and was

A Georgia Princess.


When Vivekanandi, the Hindu
monk, visited Chicago during the
Worlds Fair. he was greatly delighted
one afternoon to learn that the Inter
national Beauty show" on the Midway
Plaisance contained an East Indian
princess. He lost no time. says the
Chicago Times Herald, in visiting the
show. In one of the booths was a
dusky damsei, arrayed in East Indian
costume, and prominently placarded
as charmer from the land of the
Gangees.
Viyekanandi addressed her politely
IN Hindustanee, and for his pains was
rewarded by a stare Of blank astonish-
ment. Then he tried Cingalese with
no better success, and also the several
allied dialects Of the interior provinces
of India. At last the dusky beauty
spoke In sheer self-defense:
go way man." she said, you mus

Early Fashions in Wedding Garments.

1t Is interesting to note that the
choice OF white for wedding dresses is
comparatively modern fashion. The
Roman brides wore yellow, and in most
Eastern countries pink is the bridal
color. During the Middle Ages the
Renaissance brides wore crimson, and
most of the Plantagenet and Tudor
queens were married in this vivid hue,
which is still popular in parts of Brit
.any, where the bride is usually dress
ed in crimson brocade. 1t was Mary
Stuart who first changed the color of
bridal garments. AT her marriage with
Francis III. OF France, in 1553-which
took place not before the altar, but be-
fore the great doors Of Notre Dame
she was gowned in white brocade,
with train of pale blue Persian vel
vet six yards in length. This innova-
ton caused quite a stir in the fashion,
able world at that time. 1t was not,
however, till qsite the end of the seven
tenth century that pure white-ths
color hitherto worn by royal French
widows--became popular for bridal
garments in England
