AVERAGE AGE OF THE DOG.
According to This Authority But Few
Live to BE Twenty and Most
Die Mt Ten.

The age to which a dog lives in the
ordinary course is always somewhat
interesting subject, especially at the
present time, when SO much is done
in the way of breeding for early ma
turity For instance, we have both
collies and fox terriers becoming
bench champions before they are well
out of their puppyhood, but it is sad
to say that in majority of such cases
the overshown dog afterward rapidly
degenerates or dies an early death,
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
A correspondent writes to the Field
of the death of his fox terrier at the
advanced age of Is years, having been
born in 1854. He was either son or
a grandson of Brokenhurst Joe, his
late owner does not know which. This
is, no doubt, a case of unusual longevi-
ty; but instances of dogs living to Il
and Is years are common.
DR.. Leeney recorded the death of a
dog of Lord Ogilvie's at 20 years old,
it arising from an accident; while W.
L. Littleton-Geach about the same
time mentioned two of his own dogs,
one of which was then living hard on
to 20 years old; the other had just died
when over that age. The well-known
fox terrier Belgrave Joe was born
July 81, 1868, and died January 10, 1888;
while another aged terrier was one of
a working stamp which came from
George Carter, of the Bedale, born in
January, 1880, and died February 10,
1900. In several of the above well-au-
thenticated cases of longevity death
either arose from accident or was
brought about by the owner owing
to the growing feebleness of the poor
creature. No mean can be struck on
the average. age of the ordinary dog,
but this might be taken at ten years
as he is now. &5{lsE -

FAMOUS NEW YORK WEDDING.
Called the ssDfamOnd Weddinx." and
Was the Most Sensational Ever
Performed In That City. |

Perhaps the most sensational cere-
mony of marriage that has ever
been performed in New York was the
one known everywhere in the United
States as the Diamond Wedding"
1t was the union of daughter of
Lieut.. BARTLETT, of the United States
navy, to Cuban gentleman of great
wealth, Don Estaban Santa Cruz de
Oviedc, says Ladies' Home Journal.
AS generous as he was opulent, Owl
edo lavished upon the bride more
than 100000 worth of pearls and
diamonds. The nuptial rites were
solemnized by Archbishop Hughes,
Stedman commemorated the event
in a poem, and moralists pointed to
it as an extraordinary instance of
the evils of splendor and luxury that
were corrupting American society.
So great was the curiosity to witness
this wedding that probably for the
first time on such an occasion cards
of admission were issued to the
church. A squad of policemen was
required simply to protect the bride
and groom from strangers who
rushed after them. The magnificent
nuptials, it may be remarked, had a
melancholy sequel; the bridegroom
soon died his widow, under the Span
ish laws, was entitled only to the
right of dover, and all the gifts
which he had showered upon her
were taken away from her on the
ground that legally they were heir
looms.
All Occupations Represented There.
The japanese parliament has among
its members 100 farmers, 90 barristers,
six editors, taree doctors, &c mechan-
ies. and Is without fixed profession.

ROYAL PURPLE IS CRIMSON.
States ~ Purple IL Vastly
Different

Any standard German dictionary
will attest to the fact that the crude
conventional color which is popular
ly known in the United States as
purple has never been and is not to-
day the royal purple in which classic
tradition and the paintings of old
masters robe their kings and queens.
says the Chicago Daily News.
Take Muret-Sanders. for instance,
a standard German dictionary, and
you will find under the word "pur-
pur," which is the German spelling
for our purple. the definition: 1.-THE
Tyrian dye; crimson; deep red"
Among the explanatory phrases at
tached 10 the definition also is one
which, translated into English, means
''investing the cardinal with the
purple" The color of cardinals
robes and hat is too well known,
one would say, to permit one to
think of them as anything but the
color which is known popularity to-
day as cardinal"

-Proper Care Of Hairbru.he..

Hairbrushes should be washed once
a week, and are soon spoiled unless
properly cleansed. The best way is to
put a 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. It should be rinsed
by dipping in cold water in the same
way Shake well, wipe the back and
handle carefully, and put on a 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.
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
flattening 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
a few years of vigilance; never relax
ing her watchfulness over herself.
and, sitting or standing, always pre-
serving her greatness 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 great measure preserves
the figure. "e th"eE.
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
a 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.

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 ''in purdah,"
that is, yelled and clapped into
zenana, whence they may not issue
forth. Two Bible women, native
Christians, follow up these children
and teach them in their homes. Dur
ing the famine Miss Sorabu 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 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 I ndia.
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, 'All
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 SUBJ
iect 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 a deeply stirring theme
With her soft, melodious voice, and
her great dark eyes, this slender
little woman in Parsee dress is in
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 are
ever converted" says Miss Sorabji.
''Little special Missionary effort has
been directed toward bringing them
into the fold of Christ. "-Washington

A DISAPPOINTED DARBY.

wagon loaded with melons happened
to pass as they fled along and the

change of countenance exhibited by
that darby. One moment his eyes
bulged, his mouth distorted, his teeth
glistened, and his face fairly glowed
with pleasurable expectancy, and in

but when the police whom he notified
arrived, the boy had gone. At other

MISS SUSIE soRABJf.
Done Wonderful Evangelistic
Work in the Far East,

There recently arrived in New York
from Bombay young woman of an
exceedingly interesting personality
and history. Susie Sorobji, is men,
Der of a Parsee family-one of the
very few families which have abjured
Zoroastrianism to embrace Chistian-
ity. As is well known, the Parsees
(Persians), of India, of whom there
are over 100000, are descendants of
an ancient sect known as freworship-
ers, or Zoroastrians, who, driven
from their own land by Mohammedan
persecution, sought refuge in Hindu
stan in the seventh century. At the
present day they represent the most
prosperous moral and cultured class
of the native population.
Until 1s41 no Parsee had accepted
Christ. In that year Mr.. Sorabji,
Parsee gentleman of position and in
f1uence, was converted, and about the
same time two other men of similar
standing acknowledged the Saviour.
All suffered severe persecution. Mr..
Sorabji died in 1894, after so years OF
missionary work. His widow is at
the head of great Christian educa-
tional work in Poonah, and her chill
dren, one of whom is the subject OF
this sketch, are the brilliant pioneers
of new movements in Parsee life.
Miss Sorabji's only brother, dis.
tinguished lawyer in Allahabad, is
the organizer of a great deal OF
Christian work, which draws to-
gether people of all races and classes.
Her sister Cornelia is the first wom-
an of India to take the degree OF
bachelor of arts. She is India's first
and only woman lawyer, and the first
woman to hold professorship (the
chair of English literature) in the
mems art college in India. Another
sister is, by government appointment.
head of the girls high school and
training college in Poonah, an I'M
usual honor, for it is not customary
to place natives at the head of gov.
eminent institutions. The younger
sister of this gifted family, the first
girl to take the degree of bachelor
of science in the Bombay university:
is studying medicine in London, that
she may go back to India as medi.
cal missionary.
Miss Susie and Miss Lima Sorabji
conduct the four schools in Poonah
former is here to plead for this work.
The schools hold about 400 children;
three times as many would come il
