A Story of an Awkward Position Into Which
Miss Vokes Unwittingly Fell - Other
Dramatic Matter in Brief

n The furious fun now prevalent in the
crowded theatres of Paris naturally starts up
"reminiscences of the actors and actress of q
hundred years ago. And they had some good
ones. Indeed, the French stage, whether
operate, tragic, comic or musical, was en-
joying one of its rarest seasons of favor in
1873. The Grand Opera was burned on the
Sth Of June, 1881, but Marie Antoinette do
mated the ground and had it rebuilt in three
months. The noted singers of the time were
MeSsrs. Lays and Chovon and Miles, Mailard
and Gavaudan, but these were second in pub
lie favor to the wonderful dancers Guimard,
Saulnier and Zachuerie. Mile. Guimard was
the reigning queen, and lived in Oriental
luxury in fine residence of her own.
Mile. Maillard was not only singer and
dancer, but had rare histrionic gifts, making
her the best "all around" actress of the time
Her first brilliant engagement was as a
dancer at st. Petersburg, whence she re-
turned to Paris in 1880 and entered q sing
ing school for two years. At the end of that
time, all devoted to conscientious study, she
made her debut and took the town by storm.

NO ONE TOO DEPRAvED.

We often hear it said that one-h half of the
world does not know the other half. This
is certainly true from religious point of
view. There is tendency to think that
some people are beyond salvation and can
never be redeemed. The abandoned and
depraved in cur large cities and towns are
practically given over by the churches.
Mission schools may do something for the
salvation of the class mentioned, but they
are weak and inefficient. What is needed
in our churches is less style, less laundering
after stylish ministers and music, and
more of the spirit of Gethsemane and the
cross. The masses in our cities and towns
do not even attend church. We need Chris
tians in this age who are not ashamed to do
the work that Christ left for his church on
earth to do. To fail to carry out the spirit
of the great commission is to deny that
Christ gave it. What is needed is more
spiritual power in our Zion. Then we
shall see sinners shed tears, and the glory
of God in the salvation of men. 1t ought
to be the supreme delight OF Christians to
be instrumental in saving .souls.-ReligioHs

stake IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER"
Worry hurts US more than work, and as
Christians we have no right to be the vic
tins of worry, anxious care depression,
let US try supplications: instead OF brood
ing over difficulties, let us tell them to
Jesus, and spread out our needs within

where alone peace and strength abide.
Some Christian people appear to hold we
are invariably bound to be Stoical and
express no sorrow or regret whatever, be-
cause God chooses all; but he who was all
human as well as all divine knows that the
floods overwbelm Us sometimes, and that
when we seem in the lowest depths, he
who wept with the troubled hearts at
bethany does not bid US remain stoics in
the hour of tribulation. Let the tears have
their course if need be-probe the troubles
to their depths-but do not attempt to do
so alone. Why stay away from the mercy
seat at the shadow-time! Why not seek
the only heart that can comfort and help
and guide. We remember once hearing a
speaker tell how III his youth he and a
young companion became lost in the maze
at Hampton Court; they wandered about
tired and discouraged, but they felt sure
they would find their way out presently,
and they thought it would seem foolish to
ask direction, though they saw an old man
working not far off. All their efforts,
however, proved uravailing, and at last
they came with red faces to ask the old
man if he could possibly tell them how to
get out of the maze. why he answered,
''that's just what am here for; why did
Won not say YOU wanted to get ont before!"
and he put them at once on the right track.
Those young men learnt that day not to
rely so absolutely on their own wisdom and
ability; there is one who stands ready to
be our counsellor, our guide, our light in
every labyrinth; instead Of yielding to
worry let US simply ask him to take us by
the hand and lead US through.-The QGiuer.

in a wagon to the opera house. The spectacle
of the wild Mr.. Hyde created tremendous ex-

tainly had some attractiveness The whole
matter Is very mysterious, and the mystery
only grows as additional facts are brought
out. The common people Of Europe are
strangely suspicious in regard to the deaths
Of princes. To this day thousands believe
that tho son of Napoleon Bonaparte, the
Duke of Reichstadt, was poisoned. The off,
cial account says he died of laryngeal phthisis,
but his intimates said he died of melancholy,
due to a disappointment in love, and this diff
ference gave the people room to surmise that
he was poisoned In order to relieve the i'm
perial family Of the embarrassment Of a con-
nection with the French succession. Similarly
the rumor was spread that the late prince
imperial, son Of Louis Napoleon, was muir
dered in Africa, and the British government
made a searching investigation. They sue
ceeded in convicting the officer who was with
the prince Of cowardice, but proved that the
prince himself was killed by the Zulus. Many
other cases Of popular suspicion might be
cited, and it is evident that the Austrian en-
peror would do weli-to publish the exact
facts of Rudolph's death, for, bad as they
may be, the surmises Of the people will GER
tainly be worse
