The LONGEVITY OF
FISHES

The death Of a giant phython from
senile decay, in a London Zoo, re
minded Standard writer that the
woes and disabilities of old age exist
in the mysterious world of animals as
they do with men. How long must a
python live before it can become a
patrarchial python. and what is the
span of years required for an electric
eel to paranol the bald and toothless
stage of man?
The case of the python, uufortm-
ately gives us little light, says the
English writer He has lived four
teen years in the zoo, but then ne

and our representative was informed
at the Gardens that he may have
lived fifty years, or even more, in a
free state before coming to pass the
autumn of his days in Regents Park.
Surprisingly little is known of the
normal lifetime of wild creatures.
Animals do not have animal rings,
like trees; such creatures as wild
lions and tigers are not favorable TO
observation over prolonged periods,
and, of course, the ages reached by
creatures in captivity may be very
different from the maximum in a wild
state.
However, it seems clear that with
the great majority of the larger anil
mails the age limit is below thirty
years, and often above twenty. This
applies to dogs and horses, asses ana

taken his place at the table among his
brother officers" before his eagle eye
detected that the sash he wore across
his shoulders was a shade narrower
than the sashes he saw around him.
No comment was made at the time by
the imperial guest, but subsequently
a black day for the responsible of
fetal resulted i'm the discovery tha'
his over-anxious regard for duty had
led him to anticipate the working Of
new order for narrower sashes which
had not yet been carried out on the
uniforms of the regiment itself!
AS may be imagined, the task of
keeping this immense outfit in spot
less condition and everready trim is
a source of constant worry and cease
less labor. The invasion of a single
moth into the imperial wardrobe
rooms is as much dreaded by the Gus
todians of the Kaiser's uniforms as
the discovery of a bomb in the i'm
perial palace by His Ma1esty's body
guard. A small army of official tailors
and servants is continuously at work,
ironing, brushing and polishing.
When the German Emperor travels
on state visit he is often accompa-
MED by over twenty tin trunks con
tanning a selection Of uniforms which
may be required. And with this sec
ton of the imperial luggage go a spe-
cially chosen staff of Wallets, each of
whom is responsible for some particu-
, lar item of dress. Helmets, cooked
hats, and 'undress" caps are one
mans care; another devotes himself
to the good order of swords, belts and
! trappings, while a third is an expert
in the art of preserving and polishing

MOST UNIFORMED MAN IN
THE WORLD-THE KAISE

Among the many peculiar distinc-
tons which might be claimed by the
German emperor, even among kings,
is the possession of the largest num-
Der of uniforms any one being ever
has worn.
In variety and splendor the Kaiser's
wardrobe of ceremony far eclipses
that of even King George, who holds
the right to wear just more than a
hundred military and naval uniforms.
In the Emperor's suite of rooms, lined
with cupboards and stacked with tin
cases, are nearly 200 complete uni
forms. A large proportion of these
consist of regimentals of the German
army, but the rest are made up OF
British, italian, Spanish, Greek,
Dutch, Swedish, Russian and Turk 'h

army of which the Emperor is not a
colonel is that of France, but the req-
son for this omission is not that His

Swiss Guards, and still retains his
Portuguese regimentals under the Re

The Kaiser is most exacting as re.

/ collection of costly uniforms, which
( has to be kept absolutely up-to-date in
respect of the constant changes which
are made in cut and arrangement of
details. If some foreign war Office de.

two must go, these much-debated al
terations will be found on a coat

wear it.

Scottish naturalist, captured in 1928
a sea anemone of the liver coHoreo
sort so common around our shores.
Its age was then estimated at seven
years 1t flourished in Edinburgh un-
til 1887, and was just tta'ning a Wig
orous and sober maturity when, from
some unknown cause, it was cut on
in its prime. Eels have lived in cap

venerable salmon has been estimated
at 100; carp live to be $50, and there
have been pike whose age was estl-
mated at 200.

short life and a merry one, or linked

is a familiar figure in the streets OF
the town, tall, straight, big, and al

statesmen. Sometimes dire rumors
run up and down the states of the Pa

familiar haunts of the East break ira,
ditions and stink forth in, silk hats
and hard-boiled shirts, but no one has
ever accused Jim Hawley of such
backsliding.

man, woman, and child in Idaho--how
he Joined the Argonauts streaming
westward in the first of the gold days,
how he sailed before the mast and
then came into Boise with shovel and
pick-ax in those PARKWAY days of 70.
There was more need for law than
muscle just then and Jim Hawley saw
the drift of things. He grew bigger
and bigger all the while physically
and mentally, and Grover Cleveland
made him United States Attorney
while Idaho was still Territory. He
was a member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1890 and he attracted
some little attention at the time when
one William Jennings Bryan was first
running for President, But when
James Hawley conducted the great
trial against the leaders of the Mine

proposed to him, as he is a little

MABEL G.
My dear, you can do nothing. You
have frightened him away forever
and 1 am not sure it doesn't serve you
right.
A man wants a woman SO long as
there is an element Of uncertainty in
the pursuit. AS soon as he sees she is
as crazy about him, he loses interest
You have let this man see you are more
anxious for him that he was for you
That was a fatal mistake Pay nc

XTOU wouldn't think that this dis

our athletic girl Of today. But she is.

Of a sensation as the first woman avia-
tor-and, oh. DEAR how they did talk
about her!
OF course, the athletic girl had ap-
peared in Pagan times, but during the
early Christian era, and the following
dark ages, it wasn't considered nice for
a young lady to do anything at all hut
stand around in stained glass attitudes,
and wait for a possible husband to re-
turn from the crusade.
When she was too old to be any
longer attractive, she was made to do
every kind of work and quickly devel-
oped into an old bag, so that there
were only very young girls and. very
old ones, and neither of them stirred
far from home.
Then came the great innovation. I
suppose some fine lady like this one
with the spirit of a Columbus, and tho
courage of a lion. decided that sht
was bored to death with things as they
were, and that she would stand no
