could hardly be enumerated here, even if sufi-
Gent information were at hand. OF one thing,
however, the fact of such increase is sufficient
evidence. and that is that recent German Bibli-
cal criticism has not been so disastrous to relig-
Ion as many have feared. However destruct-
I've such criticism has appeared to be, the result
seems to show that it has not been really unfav-
oraole to Christianity. Indeed there are many
evidences that such criticism, whatever its pur-
pose may have been. has been at once the cause
and the effect of genuine revival of interest in
Biblical learning-an interest the legitimate out
come of which is registered in the increase of
theological students which is noted above

Philadelphia PreSs.
The belle of Long Branch has black eye.
There isn't a girl at the Branch who doesn't
envy her the distinction that she has gained
through it. and any number of them would take
q black eye tomorrow if they felt sure of their
ability to turn such an unsightly spectacle into
badge Of beauty and attractiyeness But it SO
happens that the particular young lady who
owns this injured optic is just the olliest sort of
q girl imaginable; and she would probably make
as merry over an accident of any kind, AS long az
1t didn't keep her away from the boys as she is
over her present disaster.
''Oh, isn't this dreadful" she exclaimed when
she came to herself. ''What will the boys saya

Just the same when she reached the hotel and
held a council of war with herself she resolved
to go TO the ball and risk the dangers Of humilla-
tion and dismay. But her very bravado in defy
ing the gossip of her girl friends turned the tide
in her favor, and her engagement card was
filed for every dance before she had been in the
room quarter of an hour. Since then she has
been the belle of the hotel. She goes every
where and does everything, from bathing and
tennis in the morning to dancing and supper
at Pleasu.e Bay at night
At the proprietors' ball last Thursday at the
West End she appeared in handsome ciel blue,
low cut and a group of diamonds glittering in a
pendant from her necklace. The much admired
aye was circled with its usual patch of black: but
she had Ind it painted during the afternoon, and
it looked very much as if the little witch had
spread the paint much lower than necessary,
just to show that the black was still there.

"Amen" in the Wrong Place.

A funny little incident occurred at ST. Johns
Church. Medina last Sunday. In the absence of
the rector. Rev Mr. Walsh, the superintendent
of the Sunday school took charge of the service
acceptably. It is customary when the boy choir
has retired from the chancel and entered the
robingroom for it to sing the last stanza of the
occasional, after which the rector chants short
choral benediction, the boys all joining in the
amen" Unknown to the choir, last Sunday,
this was omitted. the superintendent taking ad-
vantage of the moment after the choir had re-
tired to make an announcement which he had
forgotten. The choir, waiting behind the organ,
could hear voice indistinctly from the chancel,
and after the announcement had been made
that a church social would be held at the house
of Mrs. So-and-So on Tuesday evening, the boys
voices swelled forth in a grand and .devout
"A-men." The effect can be IMAGINED.

people who go from here to the top
of Slide mountain every year to spend

all to see the sun rise. All the young men up
here wear knickerbockers, apparently different

seem to be having the worst of it this season.

extremely fashionable just now. Her

Bar Harbor is as full as it can possibly be. and
this time on there is room FOR men only. Ac
commodations for ladies are out of the question,
as at the few dances that have been given the
women have stood fathoms deep in the ballroom,
and the men have been few and far between.
This will be remedied next month, when young
fellows in banks and offices get their fortnight's
holiday; but, alas one thing is certain, that
