DIR. Hogc at oid.Market Hall.


DR.. Hoge has frequently had occasion
to notice that mere expression on his
part for aid in any undertaking he had
at heart was all that was necessary to
insure cooperation of members of his
church. So when on last Wednesday
night he announced from his pulpit that
he proposed to begin series of Sun
day-night meetings at the Old-Market
Hall for the benefit of the people in its
neighborhood, and would need the help
of some of mis- people, the request was
promptly responded to. Offers of as
sistance came, not only from members
of his own church, but also from those
of other churches and from persons OF
no church at all, who were desirous of
helping so good work. All such oilers
were gladly accepted, as there were
many things to be thought of and many
arrangements to be made before such a
meeting was possible, and but little
time in which to make the necessary
provisions for the following Sunday
night.
From various sources kind contribu-
tions of miscellaneous seats--including
chairs, camp-stools, benches with backs
and benches without backs--were gath
cred together in sufficient quantity TO
cover considerable portion Of the hall.
II was hoped that at least enough peo-
pie would come out TO fill these seats,
though the scheme was somewhat OF an
experiment, and some doubt was felt as
to its success.
People began TO assemble Sunday
evening shortly after 6 o'clock, and in q
little while all seats were taken. and the
ushers were busy in improvising addi-
tional ones from large pile Of rough
planks which stood in one corner of the
room. The incoming crowd kept pace
with the increase Of seats, and before
long these were exhausted.
When DIR. lIogc entered the room
about quarter-past 7, hoping to find at
least small gathering awaiting him, he
must have been gratified, indeed, to see
the spacious hall already nearly filed.
A large number came later who were
unable to get inside for lack of even
standing room.

He Is quick to resent it, Nevertheless,
in half the homes in the country, because
the husband holds the funds and the wife
must ask for her share, there is exaspera-
ton, there is false shame. there is un-
dreamed of distress. And the trouble
springs not out of the greed of penurious
men flor men are usually open handed,
generous, and anxious to treat their wives
and daughters with liberality), but has
its genesis in mistaken principle at the
beginning. Indulgence, iberality and
generosity are terms wholly inapplicable
to the situation when we are speaking of
the relations of husband and wife. The
one does not dispense an aims; the other
does not accept charity. They are part
ners in the business of life. It is his part
to do the providing, and hers to look after
the use of the provisions. He attends to
the outdoor economy; she to that Of the
interior; economy being taken in its root
sense of systematic government. I'm true
marriage lies no equal nor unequal yet
there can be nothing but the farce of
equality where the wife must account to
the husband for every dime, and the hus-
band, forgetful of the consideration due
his wife, allows her to be fretted and
worried, worn to shreds, and subject to
petty notifications, because five days out
of seven she is the possessor of an empty
purse. Entire openness and confidence
as to the resources of the firm, a definite
and exact method of keeping household
accounts, and recognition Of the fact
that bricks cannot be made without straw,
and that certain approximating annual
expense must be proportional to the po-
sition the family occupies in the commu-
nifty, would so far bring in a millennium
in American homes.

Venice by Moonlight.

The glory of full moon in a cloudless
sky is especially appropriate TO Venice.
Paris shows her fairest in the gay bright
ness of sunny May. To Rome most fitly
belong the solemn splendors of the days
decline. Naples is best seen when the
morning laughs over Capri and touches
the smoke column over Vesuvius with
CLEAN of gold. But the most exquisite
memory one retains of Venice is of those
charmed moments when one floats be-
meath the moon and stars. when the
softening shadows and mysterious light
rob the old palaces of every vestige Of
desolation and decay, when Venice is
the fairer because of the shining night,
and night shows at its loveliest because
il shines ever Venice. recall one such
evening, when our gondola glided over
the path of silver flung BY the full
moon over the waveless water.
The Church of San Giorgio rose dark in
the background against the dusky lumi-
nous blue of the sky. A band of street
musicians, rode in a barge hung with
colored lanterns, filled the air with song.
The scene was as unreal aud as beautiful
as though we were living in an opera.
And when the singers changed their
strain from Santa Lucia and ssAddio
bella Napoli' to the .Misereren of
ssTTovatore, there stole over as sense
that all this had happened before, that
the music and the moonlight and the
wondrous scene around were all part
and parcel of our past existence, In
front of yonder palace we had seen
ssMaf1io Osinip tear away the mask from
the face of 'Lucrezia Borgia.n We had
noted s1ago" and ss0thello' In close
converse on yonder square s'Bassanio"
had toasted his friends but yesterday in
yon sumptuous mansion. Aud still the
music flied the air and the moon and
stars shone overhead, and we glided on
and on and it was all no dream-it was

A slight MISUNDERSTANDING.

A lady employed young girl about
fifteen years old to assist her about her
homework and one day she was making
some cake, and wished to put some kind
Of plums in it; so she set dish down on
the table with some plums, and told the
girl to stone them, and to show her how,
she took up plum and took the stone
out, with the remark,
THAT is the way
Then, thinking the girl understood
what she meant, she put the plum she
had into her mouth, instead of the dish,
and went away. What was her surprise
short time after, to have the girl come
into the room where she was, and tell her
she had eaten all she could When the
lady went into the room where she had
been at work, she found she had put all
the stones into the dish, and eaten all she
could of the plums; she thinking that
the hard pieces meaning the stones
would soften up when baked in the cake.

FACTS FOR the CURIOUS


The life Of quadrupeds generally
reaches its extreme limit when the molar
teeth are worn down.
They do not have any fire insurance
companies in Japan. They are not need
ed there Whenever q fire occurs the
owner of the house is promptly exc
cutcd.
Chinese doctors induce faith in their
prescriptions by making them of gigan-
tic size. A writer in the Fortschritt de-
scribes one of them two feet long and
calling for twenty different ingredients.
Figure heads for the bows Of ships are
going out of use. Where, in 1860, there
were in Boston six carvers of these heads.
now there is only one. Sailors are fond
o! poking fun at them, and often a ship
comes into port with q pipe in the
mouth Of the winged cherub on her
bow.
As the result of his personal observa-
tons, M. Claret states that the walking
of insects may be represented by three
men IN Indian file, the foremost and
hindmost of whom keep step with each
other, while the middle one walks in
the alternate step. The walking of ara
chnids can be represented by four men
in file, the even numbered ones walking
in one step, while the odd numbered
ones walk in the alternate step.
The arrangements of odeions, or par
tially-coyered theatres for festive musical
representations in Greece, appear to have
preceded, and in some degree influenced,
the architecture of the theatres. The
oldest known example of these structures
Z IS the Skias in Sparta. circular building
provided with pitched roof, which was
probably built In accordance with forms
customary in Asia Minor, as a Samian
architect was called from Samos to SUI
perintend its erection. The odeion upon
the Illissos, near Athens, appears to have
been Of similar disposition; and, like
the former, constructed chiefly of wood.
Much of the popular delusion concern
ing snakes is contradicted by Rheem, Of
the Smithsonian institute. The veno-
nous hoopsnake, which takes its tail in
its mouth and rolls along like hoop,
and the blowsnake, the breath of which
is deadly, exist only in the imagination.
The idea that serpents sting with the
tongue is erroneous. An impression pre-
walls that the number of poisonous snakes
is great, but in North America there are
but three species-the rattlesnake, the
copperhead or moccasin and the coral.
Snakes do not jump; they reach sudden
" forward perhaps half the length OF
their bodies.
The making of cheese is very i'm
portant occupation, and in some parts of
Switzerland, the Valais. for instance, the
riches of man are estimated according
to the number of cheeses he possesses.
A strange custom in the Valais is to

which is left untouched during his life
time, and is often cut into for the first
time at his funeral feast A rich man
stores up wine as well as cheese for his
own funeral, and when that event takes
