Next to an Umbrella a
Rubber Coat is the best
protection from a rainy day.
But there are some people
who don't like to wear a
Rubber Coat. To their
rescue comes the Macin-
tosh, a thoroughly water
proof garment, quite as
handsome as the most fash
ionable dry weather coat.
If it rains in the morning
and shines in the afternoon
the Macintosh is equally be-
coming and has none of the

a rubber coat on a pleasant

THE cHlLDREN,s PRAYER.
The Faith OF Two Little Folks ana
What They Asked For.

An incident which was quite amusing, but
also . rather pretty illustration Of faith in
prayer ~ svineed BY two little folks, four and
nine years old, occurred in this city recently
In explanation II should be stated that the
names used we're those Of valued friends, With
the exception Of Tommy Russel's family. This
interest was the result OF the witnessing BY the
children Of Tommy Russell's performance Of
Little Lord Fauntleroy."
The mother Of the children. entering room
where they had been very quietly playing for
some time, was addressed by the little girl,
aged nine, in this way,
Mamma, we have been asking God to save
rs and you and papa, Uncle Charlie, Mrs. H,
Tommy Russell, bis sisters and brothers, II he
has any, Mr.. and Mrs. Russell"
Here the boy, aged four, interrupted: "Oh,
Ethol we forgot to ask for Willie and kathleen
and Miss Kate and Miss Nan and Mr. H"
'Weil." said Ethel, you ask Him." So down
on his knees wont the little fellow, reverently
bowed his head and, after moving his lips
quietly for minute or two, rose. ibid you

Clifford, his little face enrnest and serious
as possible. Then" continued Ethel, 1--WE

VALE VAUX.
He Is Likely to BE Succeeded In Con-
gress by Mr.. McAIeer.

For many weeks there has been great lot of
skirmishing among the democratic leaders of
Philadelphia a. to what was the best to be done
in the third congressional district Tho dis
trict takes in the third, fourth fifth. sixth.
eleventh, twelfth, sixteenth and seventeenth
wards Of Philadelphia, all Of which are demo-
cratic except the fifth, which is debatable
ground. The second senatorial district COM
prises the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and eleventh
wards.
From the outset 1t has been question with
the party leaders in and out of the district az
to which Of the two candidates, Mr.. vaux or
Mr.. VIM. McAleer Of the fourth ward, should
have the nomination. That much was deter
mined last night. says the Philadelphia Times,
by the selection Of the temporary chairman to
organize the convention. Under tho demo-
cratic rules the will Of the temporary chairman
is absolute and has been so decided by the
courts. There Ii no court Of appeals and when
the city committee in factional fight names
the chairman it Is conceded on all sides that
the Candidate the temporary chairman favors
is the choice Of the controlling power Of the
nomination.
The organization committee Of the city COM
mittee met early last evening and unanimously
agreed to report in favor OF John A. Ward of
the twelfth ward as the temporary chairman
OF the third congressional district convention
Squire McMullen, as stanch and avowed
champion OF Mr.. vaux, kicked and objected,
but finally agreed with the majority and signed
the report for Ward.

The Trick Proved Futile.

From the Lewiston Journal.
A teachers standing frequently depends more
on his ability to deal with human nature than
with the intricate problems of the text books,
and this applies to colleges as well as to
primary schools. A well-known professor Of
one of our Maine colleges has always been
dreaded more by the incoming freshman class
than any other man on the faculty. This feel
ing wears away somewhat during the last part
Of the course, but there is always an awe in
spired atmosphere as thick as q down.east fog
bank in this mans class room, be it filed with
Quaking freshmen or self-satisfed seniors
Jokes have, however, frequently been tried on
him. since college boys are very brave when
the jokes have usually been found to have n
double back-action kick, like an old flint-lock
musket
With the expectation Of getting an 'adiourn"
from his recitation the next day, some scamp
one night broke into this professors class room
and painted every seat in the room with fresh
paint When the class assembled the next day
the professor said very blandly: You can sit
down, gentlemen, or stand up. just as you
please. Mr.. a, will you please demon
strate--," &c.
The class stood for the full hour, its members
finding relief by standing first on one foot and
then on another.
On another occasion, when the mercury had
dropped below zero, another attempt was made
to get an adjourn" The stove and every
window was removed from the recitation ROOM
but the professor was found there at the usual
hour seated comfortably in his chair, with
overcoat, winter cap and wooden gloves on,
and without apparent discomfort to himself
conducted q recitation of an hours length, with
heavens breezes wandering uninterruptedly
through the room.

A New Profession for Woman.

Prof. Charles A. Young in the September Forum
In spectroscopic work Gin astronomy the eve
has been superseded Of late to great extent
by the Photographic plate, which is now able
to recognize fainter impressions than the eye
and to register them permanently. Prof. Pick
ering has been continuing at Cambridge his
remarkable work, and it is also being carried
ON in the southern hemisphere by q party sent
there in connection with the operations of the
Draper memorial The instrument empIoyed
is Photographic telescope with a prism or q
series Of prisms in front of the object glass.
the whole mounted like any large telescope
and provided with an accurate driving clock
With an instrument OF this kind we obtain
upon the sensitive plate the spectra Of all the
stars which happen to be in tho field Of view
sometimes a hundred at q times, as when a
cluster like the Pleiades Is in question. This
method has made 1t possible to complete, in a
comparatively short time, general survey of
the spectra of all the brighter stars Of the
being extended to the southern hemisphere,
where it is already well advanced. Whenever
the spectrum OF a star, thus photographed on
small scale, is found to present any interest
Ing peculiarly it IL examined with a more
powerful instrument, which photographs its
spectrum on q much larger scale, and this
second photograph is then enlarged again for
special study.
1t is worth recording here that the examine
tion OF the Harvard photographs has beea
made almost entirely by women. who are
assistants in the observatory A niece of
DR.. Henry Draper, whose memorial ia now be-
ing erected in the form of this monumental
work-the spectroscopic survey of the
heavens--had the good fortune to discover In
the star spectrs the delicate doubling
Of the lines which has proved SO full OF in
formation.

HOW THE GEAR READS THE
NEWS
1t Is Carefully Sifted From the Papers
by u Servant and Rewritten.

Atpresent the czar eschews all Russian news
parers. Their p@ans and their lamentations
never reach his ears, says the London Tele-
graph. Among the many departments OF the
ministry Of the interior there is one called the
department Of his majesty's Journal" which
10 charged with preparing day by day care
fully worded resume of some mild articles and
items of intelligence meant for the emperor's
eye.
A tschinovnik Of the censuro rises from his
bed in the gray OF the early morning and
hurries of to the department. where advance
sheets Of the journals come In damp from the
press.
These he reads over, marking with red PEN
Gil all the passages the interest of which is not
married by injudiciousness
There are certain events, as well as numerous
words and phrases. which o Russian emperor
like certain French king, must never be al
lowed to hear. Ecu lie roi d'Espagne" tthe
late king Of spain). What does feu mean?"
asked French king once, indignantly. "Oh

Spain after the lapse Of certain time"
The marked Passages are then cut out. pasted
together on sheets and handed over to the
director Of the department, who, after care
fully considering and. IL needs be, curtailing
them, signifies his approval
on the finest description OF paper, forty or
fifty words to the page. and the journal in this
state Is given to the minister Of the interior or
his adjunct.

awakening Of these birds in the foliage beneath
his chamber window at an hour In the 1aorning
which he considers inappropriate for his own

first device TO rid himself Of the disturbance
was TO fasten string to the vine. which, pass.

ience before retiring for the night, shaking Oh
