A Wonderful Mission.

A wonderful Episcopal mission has
just been brought to close in Newcastle
in which nearly all the churches
in the city were able to Join. More than
twenty missioners engaged in it. The
missioner at the cathedral was the Rev.
Canon Body. One Of the special features
of the work was the course Of midday
services for business men, which were
held in the cathedral, when most strik-
ing addresses were given by the Rev.
w. H. M. Hay Aitken to an immense
congregation. Great efforts were made
to reach all classes Of the community,
and with marked success. On the first
Sunday Of the mission oil the cabmen
and tram car employees were invited to
breakfast in the town hall, after which
addresses were given by the bishop and
others. A special service was held, by
permission, In the prison, at which his
lordship also preached, and meetings
have been held in all the large work
shops. factories, police stations, etc. AL
the general arrangements were carried
out by q committee under the presidency
Of the bishop, and Of which the Rev
Canon Pennefather, who has recently
been appointed missioner for the diocese

Lady Dunsrin's Connemar. Cloak.

Ao0y OouoElho NOnu0@ALB Cloo4s
The papers have been talking about
who brought the first Connemara
cloak into fashion and it is like the
tailless evening coat, credited to every
social parsonage Of any Importance.
Tho tailless coat, by the bye, is credit
ed to the dude, while the cloak Is
credited to the bud. The truth about
it is that it had its birth in the smart
world through Lady Dufferin. Her
ladyship had been to Ireland and was
there presented with a very fine piece
Of Irish frieze. She took it to London
with her and asked her tailor if he
couldn't make her long wrap out Of
it-something out Of the common and
which would be stamped as decidedly
individual. With quick wit he sug.
gested just such a cloak as the Irish
peasant wears, and so it had its birth,
Lady Dufferin had number made
and soon all London was wearing
them because they were so useful and
could he SO easily assumed. However,
l do not think her ladyship expected
them to be worn as street wraps, nor
did she foresee that, caught in the
March wind, they made the slender
woman look like balloon and the
stout woman like the whole earth, not
with a fence, but a cloak about it.

Tho Fourth Temperament.

"Well, you see the trouble with

remarked, "of the fourth dimension,
but never Of the fourth temperament
What is it2''
II was instructed by a wise wo-
man." was the smiling reply, that
there arc four temperaments the ner-
vous, the physical, tho pious and the
worrying. Now Eunice undoubtedly
has the worrying, and that explains
why it is so hard to live with her.
She is a most excellent woman, but
we wouldn't one Of us be hired to live
with her."
I'VE respect her, of course, another
observed, "but when it comes to living
with her-well, all / can say is that
I'd rather take my chances with the
cannibals than with her. She worries
me to death she fuses about anything
and about nothing with equal readi.

Pottery COlOrs.

There is a pathetic instance OF gen.
Jus unappreciated in Hugh Robertson,
q venerable Scotchman who has de-
voted his life to reproducing the lost
colors to pottery. No labor has been
too arduous, no sacrifice too great, that
he might achieve the choice tints un.
der glace, and yet for more than a year
he has been too poor to fire his kilns.
He lives in Chelsea, q suburb of Bos-
ton, and among the quaint, stumbling
buildings, where he sought the phil
osOpher's stone, is his humble cottage,
which holds collection of rare cera-
mics. These represent his attempts to
catch the coveted rd-''sang-de-
boeuf," that wonderful tint produced
by the Chinese 500 years ago, and re-
discovered once or twice since that far
away Ming period. Only four speci-
mems Of the Chinese 'ox blood red"
are owned in America. Mr.. Robert
sons vases show the whole gamut of
reds, from the dull liver shade through
glowing tints to the perfect 'sang-de-
beuf, and then descending through
the scale to puppies and browns. Pro
fessor Morse, of Salem, has one of the
most complete collections of Japanese
pottery in the world, which will prob
ably be secured for the Boston Art
musuem. He prOnounces some of the
