CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, February IA.
The wonderful faith cures worked
in this place 10y Mrs. Woodwork, the
evangelist, and her assistants, have
created among certain classes of per-
SONS fever and craze which borders
on fanaticism. Many thousands have
attended the meetings, and the cures
claimed to be well authenticated now
reach dozen in number. The church
In which the meetings were first held
has proven to be inadequate to accom-
MEDIATE the crowds, and the opera
house, formerly the Rink, has been
secured for the meetings. 1t seats
two thousand persons, and its capacity
is severely taxed by the throngs which
nightly gathered from all sections
of the county, and even from West
ern Maryland invalids come to test
the efficiency ofthe faith cure theory,
and Mrs. Woodworth's success seems
greater than it was in Indiana and
Iowa. The hundreds of converts are
faithful to her, and are bitterly arous-
ed over the efforts oforthOdox preach
ers tosuppress her. Mrs. Woodworth's
cures, vuuched for by the parties
include VIM. Wolf, of
partial blindness !; j. A. Kyle, ofdeaf-
ness and half a dozen cures of confirm
ed rheuuiatics. The most remarkable
case claimed is that of Mrs. VIM.
Myers, who says that week ago she
was an apparently hopeless victim of
the consumption. She is now on the
the road to full recovery. Every
night Mrs. Woodwork places herself
and Numbers of her converts into
frances, which last two or three hours.

Chefs md Their Assistants.

One has to look outside the private
houses, no matter how grand they may
appear, to find complete kitchens. Their
number Is confined to the hotels and
swell restaurants. The force of a com
pleto kitchen embraces q chef. who ought.
at the same time, TO DO a maitre dhotel.
and have charge of the choice and preparu.
ton of dishes. and of the adornment of
the table ant dining room without over
having to put n hand to any of the cook.
ing. unless he chooses to prepare some
sauce of which he is the designer, or to
garnish a dish. as some happy notion seizes
him.
The chef in a European palace or castle
is an artist and not n workman. The most
he does is to prepare sauces. dress meats.
and beautify and make attractive entrees
and cold dishes. dividing all rough and
heavy work among his assistants. In such
an establishment there is q second cook
what you might call a meat cook. VINO
prepares the principal dishes. an entire
meter, who has to do with the little made
dishes, the preparation of ~croquets, frying
of potatoes or hashing of them with cream;
in fact, who prepares all vegetables and
does the frying. Then there should be a
pastry cook to look after all the sweets.
But we must go elsewhere than New York
TO find any such kitchen establishments In
private houses.--New York Sun.
, 1888-05-02

A very curious thing about the cooks
that they admit themselves Is that a man
who succeeds admirably in one house may
fail utterly in the next place he takes. A
thousand Influences govern the matter.
The cook may not be in sympathy with
his master or mistress. They may not
like what he thinks he is best at making,
or they may limit him in his expenses, or
trent him in a way that makes him miser-
able. Then. again, a cook may make a
great reputation in a taura and fail
In a private house. That often happens,
although. of course. 1t is still moro often
the case that a chef trained in family ser
vice proves unable to meet the rush and
bulk of the work in a public house. The
best cooks in town say that the prime
necessity for success with private families
is not in the scientific knowledge of "A
cook half so much as in his manners and
address, A dapper, pleasant, smiling,
smooth. clever fellow will often please a
family better than a genius Curiously
enough, so the cooks say, a man who is
not liked himself often fails to make his
dishes liked.-New York Sun.

Tho Loss of Temper.

Temper. too there is no question, is
good to keep; yet we ourselves remember
occasions when we would have given all
the world to nave been able to lose our
temper thoroughly, completely. irrevoca
bly,. Simulated loss Of temper is a great
gift; but a real. genuine loss has a power
Of closing a controversy or putting m end
to a situation where simulated loss can
effect nothing. No doubt the losing is ex-
p~ensivei it generally means apology or
compensation OF some sort; but for the
moment 1t carries a man through a diff
Guilty unconsciously, and. as it were, on
wings. The wounds received In the ex-
element Of battle are said at the time not
to hurt, and loss of temper means an ex-
element where wounds given and re-
ceived become almost a pleasure London

The Slaves of China.

The question will naturally arise in
many minds how these vast numbers are
maintained and controlled In servitude.
The answer is that all people are taught
obedience to the mead Of the family.
whether that person is the real parent or
whether he merely stands in loco PARENTS.
TIL teachings of parents. of the schools.
of the books of religion. and of the gov
eminent, are all in favor of such obedi.
ence and submission. There can be no
living in China outside of a family. To be
q nobody's child is to be an outcast. and
hunted like the wolf on the mountains.
In order to live in a house. to travel on
the highways or byways. to buy food or
clothing. to get employment or shelter, a
government pass is absolutely necessary.
and that is always based upon a family
pass. All law. all the officials and all the
people of a vast and densely populated
country are Joined against any fugitive
from a family.
In addition to all these the terrors of re-
ligion and superstition are brought TO bear
to enforce obedience to the family law.
1t is implicitly believed hat those who
are disobedient in this world or outside
the family association will be wanderers
and outcasts through all the worlds to
come. 1t is the terrors of this belief that
make the victim of the Chinese family
authority go uncomplainingly to the lin
gering, but sure death of the guano
islands of Peru; to the pestiferous rice
and cane fields of Cuba; and it is these
terrors of the future which make the un
fortunate slave girls endure lives of shame
and infamy in foreign countries, where by
raising a hand they could be freed.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

enemy from the field, and restore peace

Making u.e Of copgrsssmen.

The queer requests that are received
by members of Congress from their
constituents are innumerable. The
other day Western member had a
letter FIRM a rural supporter, who
wrote that he had seen IN the news
papers that hay was selling at a very
high price at Washington. and that he
had shipped car load to the Con-
CHEESEMAN'S address. and hoped he
would he able to dispose of it profit
ably and remit him the proceeds. The
member read the letter to several
others sitting around him with much
amusement. not unmixed sitl4 annoy
ance and dismay. His feelings under
went an agreeable change, however,
when one of the listeners said, quietly:
IL have several horses here, aud my
coachman told me this morning that
the hay is about used up. I'll take
two tons Of that carload" "I'll take
ton of it," and inside of ten minutes
the entire carload was sold. The
member, with much satisfaction, re-
mitted to his thrifty constituent $50
more than the latter had expected.
Another member received Yesterday
a letter from 4 constituent which ran
in this way;
''Der Sur: Sum time ago I cent sum

OF course the member made the
