How to Abolish Beggar, {.

A correspondent Of one Of our contem.

Senator stanford. OF California. what
could be done in this country. toabolish
beggarv The answer of the philanthro.
pic millionaire was q follows:
There is only one way. Dry up the
sou.ce-abolish the conditions that make
beggars. To try to cure poverty by street
charity is like trying to stop hole In
your roof by mopping up the puddles
that gather on your floor. Nobody Is

Sewer Waste of Paris.

Sometimes the waste water Of the kitchen
and that Of the closets is all emptied out
into the sewers Sometimes it is caught in
q barrel shaped vessel painted which re-
tains the solid matter and lets the water
pass These receptacles, called tinettes, are
removed at stated intervals by persons who
use the contents for fertihxing fields in the
suburbs. great majority Of the houses
still have cesspools or tinettes in the cellars,
which are pumped out or removed by the
main entrance at stated intervals So far
only about 1900 houses have their closets
directly connected with the sewers, though
the number is increasing rapidly and all viii

A SUNDAY ARREST.

Sunday evening a woman going by the
name of Mollie Seymour, but whose real
name is it appears Mary Moore, was ar
rested for taking quantity of table linen
from Hotel Gandolfo. She had been en-
ployed for short time as housekeeper at
this hotel, and had several times made the
remark that she might at any moment be
called west to Pueblo. Sunday afternoon
she was paid her wages and left, intending
to send for her trunk. As soon as she had
gone. Mrs. G.. who had missed some table
linen, made in the presence of her board
ers a search in her housekeeper's trunk for
the missing property. As soon as the lid
was raised there was found the missing

trunk was found a whole bolt of muslin
which had been used a table cloth at the
board of trade banquet. An officer was
sent for and she was Immediately placed

DEAR SIR: Frequent complaints have,
Of late, been made to ME. concerning the
interruption TO freight and passenger trans
portation caused by the strike of the en-
gineers and firemen in your road, as iwell
as the danger arising from the employ
1nent Of Incompetent substitutes for such
employees. The Inconvenience and dis
appointment which the present state of
affairs causes TO travelling public and the
tains are such as that further delay in the
adjustment Of the difference existing be-
tween the management Of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy road and
its striking employees would be
manifest injustice 10 the people
of our state. In the territory controlled
by your road traffic is deranged and travel
inconvenienced to such an extent as to de-
mand speedy solution of the difficulties.
therefore appeal to you IN behalf of the
people of Iowa to make every effort posi-
Die TO come to an understanding with the
strikers. IL appears to me that even
self-lnterest should dictate such a
course to you and especially as your COM
pany can be held responsible for damage
caused by failure to furnish reasonable
facilities for the transaction of business on
your road. Allow me to suggest that I'M

Of the Worshipers.
You snter this mosque through bronze
door, having of course, previously shod your
profane feet with protecting babooches; and
then YOU are free to examine and admire.
The first feature that strikes you is four enor-
nous pillars, which might be compared to
four fluted towers, and which support the
weight of the principal cupola. The capitals
of these pillars are carved into the form Of a
mass of stalactites, a style of ornament
which may be observed In many fine Persian
monuments; and halfway up they are encir-
cled by a band covered with inscriptions in
Turkish characters. The strength and sim
plicity Of these four pillars, which at once
explain to the eye the constructive system of
the building, give striking impression of
robust majesty and imperishable stability.
Sourates, or verses from the Koran, form
bands Of running ornament around the
great cupola and the minor domes and the
cornices.
From the roof are suspended to within
eight or ten feet of the ground innumerable
lusters, composed of glass cups full of tai
low, set in a circular iron frame and dec

mosques. The mihrab, which designates the
direction of Mecca-the niche where rests
the sacred book, the Koran, the ''noble book
taken from a prototype kept in heaven
is inlaid with lapis lazuli, agate and jasper.
Then there is the usual member, surmounted
by conical sound board the mastaches, or
platforms supported by colonettes, where the
muezzins and other clergy sit. As in ali the
mosques, the side aisles are incumbered with
trunks and bales Of merchandise, deposited
by pious Mussulmans under divine safe
guard; and finally, the floor is covered with
fine mating In summer and carpets in win
ter.
While was lost in wonderment at the
splendor Of this mosque several Moslens
came in to pray, with the usual prostrations
and beard stroking and yawning. Two or
three women also came to pray, clad in
feridjis of brilliantly striped silks-rose and
white, azure and white, yellow and red-and
they, too, kneeled on the mating and bowed
and touched the grounS with their brows:
and their little baby girls, with their fine
eyes and white wells wrapped round their
heads, stood patient and motionless beside
them, not being yet old enough TO pray, or
perhaps not strong enough on their legs TO
PROSTATE themselves without iTremediably
losing their balances.-Atlantic Monthly.

Y. NJ. c. A. NOTES.

Two hundred and sixty-eight men were
present at the young mems meeting on
Sunday in the Presbyterian church.
A song and praise meeting lasting about
20 minutes was heartily entered into by
the young men.
Dr. Gates, presiding elder of the Win
field district, gave stirring address on
Daniel, every word of which was carried
home with power to the consciences Of the
young men.
Rev. Banner E. Shawhan of Burden,
Kan, followed DR.. Gates with forcible
address on Nathan the prophet, whom he
presented as an ideal worker in presenting
to David the message from God with so
much wisdom, tact and directness; urging
upon the young men who work in this
association to follow his example, and seek
TO win the souls of young men.
