Chopin. the new opera by Giacomo
Orefici, was recently given in Milan.
Inc overture is based on Polish airs
by Chopin, and themes from the com
-pianist's other works are plenti-
fully used throughout the opera.
However, the opera is said not to have
made much of an impression.
Paul Kester, who dramatized s.When
Knighthood Was in Flower, lives on a
plantation in Fairfax county, Va,
which he bought last spring, and di-
yides his time between literary work

MISS SUSIE SoRABJI,.
Young Parsee Missionary Who Has
Done wonderful Evangelistic
Work in the Far East.

| There recently arrived in New York
from Bombay young woman Of an
exceedingly interesting personality
nnd history. Susie Sorobji, is a MEM
Der of Parsee family--one Of the
very few families which have abjured
Eoroastrianism to embrace Chistian-
lity. AS is well known, the Parsees
(Persians), of India, of whom there
are over 100000, are descendants of
an ancient sect known as fireworship-
lers, 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 1841 no Parsee had accepted
Christ. In that year Mr.. Sorabji, a
Parsee gentleman of position and i'm
fuence, 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, a dis
tinguished lawyer in Allahabad, is
the organizer of great deal of
Christian work, which draws to-
gether people Of all races and classes.
Her sister Cornelia is the first WON
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 UNI
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
|girI 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 a medi-
cal missionary

Don't pick it up every time it cries
or you will instill into it a restless
disposition.
Don't try teaching it to walk before
it's year old. If you do you may make
its legs crooked.
Don't give it any toys till it passes
its first year. Let it bite it's fist and
play with it's toes.
Don't worry about its crying. It
isn't sad, and nothing hurts it. That's
just its own way of developing it's
lungs.
Don't give it elaborate mechanical
dolls. The rag doll of old times suits
it better and furnishes lesson in
economy.
Don't hurry it into talking. You may
overwork its brain and, besides, it
will make up for any lost time be-
tween the ages OF four and eight.

HINTS AND HELPS.

Add a few drops of ammonia to the
blue water to whiten the clothes.
Clothes turned right side out, care
fully folded and sprinkled are half
ironed.
Lace handkerchiefs should be
washed with CASTLE soap in warm wa
ter, in which are a few drops of ann
monia.
To remove old wall paper put into a
pail of hot water quart of flour paste
and having stirred it well apply it to
the wall. Being thick, this win not
dry quickly, but will saturate the pa
per, which may then be easily scraped
off.
To remove the smell of paint from
a room leave in it over night pail
of water with three or four sliced raw
onions in it. Shut the door and in the
morning the PANTY smell will have
gone, the onions and water absorbing
it.
A homemade knife board, consist
ing of piece of board with linoleum
glued upon it, answers the purpose
admirably. If the linoleum be painted
the paint must be sandpapered off and
the cloth then scrubbed with dry
brush.
In packing trunk place all books,
boots and other heavy articles at the
bottom, fill up all corners and cram
mics with stockings, vests and such un-
crushable articles. Remember that
the good packer packs tightly, for thus
breakages and creasing are avoided.

Mr.. Walker Martinez finally aban-
doned his retreat to establish daily
paper, Ell Constitutional, through
whose columns he criticised the meth
DDS, policy and some Of the acts of
his former party associates, further
marking his disapproval Of their
course by an alliance with the indie
pendent party. His diplomatic career
began in 1896 with his appointment as
minister to Brazil, delicate post,
since between the country to which he
was accredited and that which he rep
resented there had existed GOODNESS,
owing to the fact that Chilli was sup
posed to sympathize with the de-
throned emperor, Dom Pedro. With
inc tact and astuteness which had
marked his whole official career, the
new minister succeeded in reestablish-
ing friendly relations between the
two republics, and for this signal serv-
ice was transferred to Argentina,
where like duty awaited him, the
relations between Chill and that coun-
try having been strained almost to
breaking.

LEARN TO BE GRACEFUL.
It 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
fattening 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 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 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

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.

Hairbrushes should be washed once
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 Che 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
