FORTUNES FOR REVENGE.
Instances Which illustrate the Ex-
tremcs to Which Men VIII Go to
Crafty Their Passions.

The extremes to which some peo-
pie will go for revenge have seldom
been better demonstrated than in
the case of two rival shipowners in
the north of England some years
ago. The manager of a local col
licry invited tenders for the con-
veyance of large quantities of coal
to America, and when the contract
was given to one shipowner the
other Immediately set to work to
wreak vengeance, relates the Chi
cago Tribune.
He first approached the owners of
the colliery and offered to carry the
coal across the Atlantic for a shilling
ton less than cost price. and as this
effected considerable saving to the
colliery, the proprietors countermand-
ed the former contract and closed with
the second offer. The shipowner was
content to suffer loss for five years
in order to spite his rival. and at the
end of that time he capitulated, for
his revenge had cost him $500.
a wealthy London man of inde-
pendent means died three years ago,
after having devoted the last eight
years of his life to taking revenge
upon another man who at one time
had been his closest friend. He con-
fessed that he had spent S105,0O0 in
this manner, and no doubt had he
lived he would have allowed his re-
vcnge to cost him infinitely more.
He employed secret detective to
fnh h ho+
thwart all his movements, and when
the victim put up for one of the To-
cal councils he. although he hated
the canvassing, set up against him.
His enemy got in, but his expenses
were infinitely heavier than they
otherwise would have been. so his
rival subsidized paper, in which he
used to malign the others public
work, and ended by getting him
"blackballed" from a political club.
And the cause of this expensive re-
venge was nothing more than tri-
fling quarrel over a one-acre field.
The costly revenge that one firm
engaged in the iron trade took upon
another in 1895 will always find n
place in the annals of British trade.
Both firms were engaged in the same
class of work, and one CHANGED to
clash with the other over the en-
portation of their goods, which so
enraged the first firm that they de-
termined to be revenged, however
great the cost.
They began by buying up all the
smelling coal they could procure at a
cost of S275, 900, but, as this did not
ruin the other firm they tried to copy
their rivals goods. and sold them in
America at a loss of 81 500 day. The
opposing firm still held out dogged-
ly, however, and at last the revenge.

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 lin purdah,"
that is, yelled and clapped into a
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 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 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 India. The
monthly meetings are attended by
hundreds.
Miss Sorabii'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 n 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 we'll 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 a 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
iect so thoroughly at command that
she makes the story of Parsee, Mo-
! hammedan and Hindu life and Gus
toms most charming and entertain
ing as we'll as 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. 1.-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. t.'-Washington

rious drain upon their resources, de-
cided to give up the game as not be-
ing worth the candle. This, however,
was only done when their revenge had
cost them over $1,250,0OO.
Some years ago a country solicitor
accused a neighboring parson of
preaching at him from the pulpit, and
Immediately thirsted for revenge. Un-
able to obtain satisfaction in the or
dinary way, he erected an enormous
boarding in field he owned at the back
of the vicarage, which naturally
aroused the ire of the cleric, who, how
ever, doggedly refused to betray his
annoyance.
The solicitor next approached the
owner of the land on which the vicar
age stood and bought the property
from him, thereby being able to turn
his enemy out. The latter then built
himself house near the church, but
the solicitor did not intend to let mat
ters drop, so purchased the ground
that separated the house from the
church. This he closed to the public,
and the vicar had TO take a circuitous
route to reach the church, which meant
a quarter of an hours walk. Not till
the solicitor found that his revenge
had cost him 100000 did he abandon
the struggle.
1t is hard to understand any one
taking revenge upon government, but
a Spaniard, a well-known merchant,
for some years fought the Argentine
Republic. He was employed by that
government until for some reason or
other he was dismissed. He then
vowed vengeance against the whole
country and spent 100000 in endeavor-
ing to thwart Argentine commerce in
every way possible. When this sum
was exhausted he formed a band of
gauchos to rob people on the high
way, pull up the railways, and make
things generally uncomfortable for all
the residents of the republic. 1t end
ed in his being captured and sentenced
to imprisonment for life, so one may
conclude that at the price his revenge
was rather dearly bought.

MISS SUSIE soRABJI.
Young Pnrsee Missionary who Has
Done Wonderful EvnngcIistic
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 MEM
ber of 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 fireworship-
ers, or Zoroastrians, who, driven
from their own land by Mokammedan
persecution, sought refuge in Hintlu-
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, n
Parsee gentleman of position and in
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 n 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 Sorabii's only brother, dis
tinguished lawyer in Allahabad, is
the organizer of great deal of
Christian work. which draws toll
gether people of all races and classes.
Her sister Cornelia is the first wom-
an of India to take the degree of
and only woman lawyer, and the first
woman to hold n professorship (the
chair of English lterature) 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 un-
usual honor, for it is not customary
to place natives at the head of gov
ernment 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 n medi-
cal missionary.

LEARN TO BE GRACEFUL.
II Is within the Reach of Any Girl
Who Exercises WatchfuIness
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 shoul-
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
n 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
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 ostrils.-Chicago American.

wish to charm him with it's velvet pur-
ity and fresh perfume.
Edeiweiss was the late Emperor Will
liam's favorite flower, and every birth
day he was the recipient of many beau
tiful wreaths composed of the wild
flower gathered by loving hands often
at the risk of life and limb. 1t has a
lasting quality that makes it a gen
eral favorite, and, as it will not grow
as well under cultivation and defies the
arts of the florist, preferring its native
snow clad crags and inaccessible ac-
clivities, those who make profession
of gathering the flower-and some few
of these are women-find it more or
less lucrative.

edelweiss gatherer, who called herself
champion of the Tyrol, and daily filed
her basket with the fairy blossoms,

proper Care of Hairbru.hes.

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. 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
II it can be avoided. Soap should not
be used for washing, as it makes the
bristles soft.
