things on earth, including English gram

churches have failed at-that of bringing
the masses to sobrietY and orthodoxy. Ills
plan is the same that Gen. Booth has fol-
with wonderful success in England. An
organization of q mock military character
has been effected. with plenty of officers
and the privates to get. Women are given
an equal chance, and Capt. Mary How
ard is one Of the early results. This sounds
funny, and Capt. Mary is funny herself;
but she is deeply n earnest, and deserves

That was when, all meek. sanity and

Intellectual effort to expand her chest for

Among the Polish Jews, such as crowd
some Of the east side tenements. there is a
doctrine that a good man acquires the
power OF damning other persons to future
torrents. more or less, according to the
extent of his goodness. But If he damns
anybody under this divine law, he loses
just so much of his own eternal bliss as ne
causes misery to the other fellow. All these
accounts must necessitate complicated
system Of heavenly bookkeeping. but
