there were room. There is the Vic
toria high school, the Hindu ragged
school, the Parsee school, the Mo-
hammedan school. These are for
both sexes; but it is to the little
girls of the Mohammedan school, per-
haps, that these ladies give their most
intense attention, for these, at
very early age, are put Gin purdah,"
that is, yelled and clapped into
zenana, whence they may not issue
forth. Two Bible women, nativ.
Christians, follow up these children
and teach them in their homes. Dur
ing the famine Miss Sorabji did her
utmost for her stricken pupils, and
in her school are number of FAM
inc orphans. Besides her school
work, Miss Sorabji does a great deal
of evangelistic work in all the
churches. Then she has gathered
many children into a band called
Little Volunteers" who hold month
ly meetings for Bible study in the
open air as well as in churches
Branches of this organization have
been formed all over India. The
monthly meetings are attended by
hundreds.
Miss Sorabji's evangelistic work
among soldiers, which has resulted in
many conversions, began when, after
filling an engagement for five min
utes' talk, the red coats sent for
NAL request that she would speak
to them for an hour. BY invitation,
she has held evangelistic meetings at
Bangalore, Lanauli, and other places
as well as Poonah. At her farewell
meeting in Poonah nearly the whole
English garrison was present, and
when she asked for the hymn, Cali
Hail the Power of Jesus Name" they
rose to man and their mighty cho-
rus shook the house.
Miss Sorabji has become very pop
ular with American audiences. She
is graceful, able, magnetic speaker
using beautiful English, with her sub
ject so thoroughly at command that
she makes the story of Parsee, Mo-
hammedan and Hindu life and Gus
toms a most charming and entertain
ing as well as deeply stirring theme.
With her sou, melOulOuS voice, and
her great dark eyes, this slender
little woman in Parsee dress is il
herself an interesting study, daugh,
ter as she is of the first Parsee con
vert, who gave up home, friends and
| fortune to follow Christ. "The Par
sees will be fine Christians if they ara
ever converted" says Miss Sorabji.
Little special missionary effort has
been directed toward bringing them
into the fold Of Christ. "-Washingt ton

proper Care of Hairbrushes.

Hairbrushes Should be washed once
q week, and are soon spoiled unless
properly cleansed. The best way is to
put teaspoonful of ammonia in a
quart of water, as hot as can be borne
comfortably by the hand. The brush
should be freed from hairs and dipped,
bristles downward, in and out of the
water until clean. 1t should be rinsed
by dipping in cold water in the same
way. Shake well, wipe the back and
handle carefully, and put on window
sill to dry in the open air. The back
Should not be allowed to become damp
if it can be avoided. Soap should not
be used for washing, as it makes the
bristles soft. --.-----

LEARN TO BE GRACEFUL.
1t Is Within the Reach of Any Girl
Who Exercises Watchfulness
Over Her Carriage,

Women who wish to preserve the
slimness and contour of their figures
must begin by learning to stand
well. That means the throwing for
ward and upward of the chest, the
fiattening of the back with the shout
der blades held in their proper places,
and the definite curving in of the
small of the back, thus throwing the
whole weight of the body upon the
hips. A graceful carriage is within
reach of any girl who takes the pains
to have it; it is only the question of
few years of vigilance; never relax
ing her watchfulness over herself,
and, sitting or standing, always pre-
serving her erectness and pose, the
result being that at the end of that
time it has become second nature to
her, and she never afterward loses it.
This in a great measure preserves
the figure.
The correct stature of the human
figure is said to be six times the
length of the feet. Whether the
form is slender or plump, the rule is
supposed to hold good. The face,
from the highest point of the fore
head to the chin, is one-tenth of the
whole stature. The hand, from the
wrist to the middle finger, is the
same. From the top of the chest to
the highest point of the forehead is
seventh. If the face from the roots
of the hair to the chin be divided into
three equal parts, the first deter
mines the place where the eyebrows
meet and the second the place of
the nostrils.-Chicago American.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

This is the season Of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife Ieplenishes
her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It is certain to be needed before the winter
is over, and results are much more prompt
and satisfactory when it is kept at hand and
given as soon as the cold is contracted and
before it has become settled in the system
In almost every instance severe cold may
be warded off by taking this remedy freely
as soon as the first ndication of the cold ap-
pears. There is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harmful sub
stance. 1t is pleasant to take-both adults
and children like it. Buy it and you will get
he best. 1t always cures. For sale by Fl. q

The amount to be collected will approx
mate, It Is said, 100000.
Under an opinion Of the department of
justice the tax had only been collected ON
the capital and surplus bf banks, but the
commissioner ruled January that the un-
divided proht, or profit and loss accounts
Of banks. are part Of the surplus, and
thereby subject to tax. After this ruling was
made. by request Of representatives Of the
banks, the commissioner agreed. on jan
uary % last. to withhold selection pend
ing decision by the United States circuit
court In suit to be brought TO test the
question.
The suit was brought IN the southern
district Of New York by The Leather Manu-
facturers National bank of New York, and
was decided few weeks ago adversely to
the banks, the court sustaining the posi-
tion taken by the commissioner.
Mr.. James Forgan, president OF the First
National bank Of Chicago was the chair

banks that called upon fhe commissioner
last January, protesting against the collsc-
tion Of this tax. On January "a last the
commissioner wrote him that while he
would require the banks. trust companies
and others interested to make returns at
once to the department. showing their un-
divided profit OF profit and loss accounts, he
would withhold collection until decision
was secured in the United States circuit
court, but said distinctly IN this letter that
II the court held that, under the law, undi-
vided profits are a proper subject for taxa
tion, then payment OF the tax would be en-
forced, notwithstanding an appeal might be
taken by the banks to the supreme court

gress, the repeal to take effect July 1, 1902,
