Longevity of Animals in Jungle and Sea

From the London Standard.
"HE death of the zoos giant python
from senile decay reminds us 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 1t can become a
patriarchal python, and what is the span
of years required for an electric eel to
parallel the bald and toothless stage of
man?
The case of the python. unfortunately.
gives us little light. He has lived four
teen years in the zoo, but then he was
fully matured when he entered. and our
representative was Informed at the gar
dens yesterday he may have lived fifty
years or a hundred 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 nor
NAL lifetimes of wild animals. Animals
do not have annual 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 wild
state.
However, ii seems clear that with the
great majority OF the larger animals the
age limit is below thirty years, and often
above twenty. This applies to dogs and
horses, asses and Zebras. domestic cattle,
giraffes, lions, tigers, hippopotami, swine
and the larger mammals generally. Sheep
and deer fall somewhat below this level:
rats. mice and rabbits very considerably
below it; while elephants often greatly
surpass it. There have been elephants
in India known to have been at work
for man for more than eighty years.
and centenarian elephants are compare
lively numerous. Nevertheless, the aver
age records OF menagerie animals place
thirty or forty as the normal age limit,
and it is probable that the popular idea
of the ages reached by normal elephants
is exaggerated

Opera bags, handsome work bags
and small ribbon bags that are so
welcome with each returning Christ
mas are more beautiful than ever this
year. For the art of weaving ribbons,
which amounts to as much as paint
ing when it comes to picturing flowers,
seems to have reached perfection.
Woven and printed Dresden ribbons
and the richest brocades are used for
the various kinds of bags The heavy
brocades are used for bags to be car
ried on the street, the fiowered and
gayly striped printed ribbons are chos-
en- for work bags and the small toilet
or vanity bags for carrying powder
and powder puff, small hand mirror,
little square of chamois and all the
other little requirements which wom-
en- find it necessary to have within
easy reach all the time.
The colors chosen for hand bags are
soft and rich and the flowers shown
in raised velvet against satin back
ground. Eggplant and deep royal
purple shading into black in the back
ground blossom into rich American
Beauty roses in their natural colorings
with dark green shadowy foliage melt
ing into ths ground. Little rosettes
finished with pendant ribbon flowers
or little bows are used as finish.
Such bag is shown in Figs. and 2.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1912-11-29

For Fig. lighter brocade is used,
with woven-in instead of raised flow
ers. But the design is gorgeous with
gold thread woven into the design.
The bag is a trifle smaller and the
corners of it are rounded Narrow
satin ribbon in the prevailing color
of the bag finishes the sides with
loops and furnishes the means of car
rying the bag.
Fig. is a work bag made of gay
Dresden ribbon with dark stripes
sewed to plain satin ribbon in the
same color as the background of the
Dresden. This bag is provided with
cardboard bottom covered with the
ribbon and finished with hangers of
narrow satin ribbon and two rosettes
of it. These Dresden and plain satin
ribbons are inexpensive but beautiful.
Fig. 4 is a very handsome bag in
lowered ribbon in which black and
gold are the predominating colors with
touches of scarlet. 1t is made on a
circular bottom like Fig 8, but the
lengthwise of the ribbon run around
the bag. 1t is hemmed at the top
without standing ruffle and rosettes
of narrow black satin ribbon are set
about it, four of them altogether. AT
the sides flower pendants made of the
narrow ribbon hang from full rosettes.

Flat rosettes and velvet roses, and
life-like roses of ribbon, more wonder
fully well made than ever are the fad
of the hour. With small, compact
nosegays made of ribbon or millinery
flowers, they divide honors In milady's
favor. For furnishing separate girdles
fiat ribbon rosettes are used. The
corsage rose is fastened just above
the waist line and it is superb touch
to the dinner or evening toilet The
exquisite little nosegays bloom on all
sorts of dress and are liked for the
tailormade coat with it's dainty finish
OF white plaitings at the collar and
sleeves. Two American Beauty roses
Gre shown here made of satin ribbon.

Each petal is carefully curled and
tucked at the edges to look like a
cleaning natural rose. The ribbon is
in two and sometimes three shades
and millinery foliage of the most nat
ural-looking variety is used with the
roses. Finally, not to disappoint any
one, the flowers are scented with altar
of roses.
There is nothing that could be bet
ter for Christmas gift than the cor
sage rose or the little nosegay. In
the latter the stems are wound with
tinfoil matching the flowers In color
and tied with a bow of baby velvet
ribbon of the same color.

Had His Hand Cut Off.

Last Thursday just after the noon hour,
Edward Fox, residing on the Smokey
Hill road, and who was emplowed on the
mill of James Landers, saving automo-
bile spoke timber on the Kelly farm,
met with a most distressing accident,
manning him for life. He was running
a bolter saw which is pulled down by
lever to cut the bolt or log in two and
then swings back into its place auto
matcslly. This saw is about 3S inches in
diameter and necessarily runs at a high
rate of speed. Mr.. Fo& had reached up
to pull the saw down and when it struck
the bolt it flew into dozen pieces, one
piece striking his left hand aud serving
the four fingers at the knuckles, He was
Immediately brought to town aud Or.
Dunn assisted by DR.. Henry, gave the
necessary surgical attention, finding it
necessary to amputate the haud ust back
of the knuckle joints, leaving only the
thumb, which was not injured. The
operation was successful one and Mr..
Fox is getting along very well, but be-
ing a laboring man will be badly band-
capped and almost in 1apacitated for much
of the work he was accustomed to doing.
The other departments of the mill hav-
ing Just at this period been shut down

others were injured when the saw, which
was fawless, went to pieces. One piece
cut through the roof, but no material
damage was done TO the mill or una

Liquor and the Negro

Speaking before the subcommittee of
the United States senate's committee in
charge of affairs in the District of Co.
lumbia, the other day, Dr. Greed w.
Childs, colored physician of Wash
ington, urged that something be done
to restrict the saloons among the col
ored population of the District. Dr.
Childs gave the subcommittee a graphic
picture of the harm which he says
liquor is doing among the colored peo-
pie of the District, and he implored the
senator's to act.
DR.. Childs said there were good points
in both the Works bill, which seeks to
limit the saloons to 100, and the Jones
BILL He wanted the good points of
each taken and framed into legislation
LET me warn you," said he, "that if
you don't place liquor where the col
ored man finds it harder to get he will
destroy himself and destroy you"
He declared the race would be better
servants, would work better and would
be far more prosperous if it were not
for liquor. He described some of the
homes in the District which he had Wis
tied and where poverty reigned because
the head of the family drank up all his
wages.

Must Have That $1,000

The city is poor. If we don't have Ii
censes we've got to have higher taxes,
and we cannot stand that. We're all
pretty near broke as it is We can't
raise another dollar by taxation. So the
only way we can get the $1,000 we need
for repairing pavements and removing
garbage is by having saloons and
squandering 100000 year on them,
and have them give us back $1,000 in
license fees. See?-William Hard, in
