The Work in Aid of the Sisters oi
Mercy Bringing Good Results
Last NIGHTS Attendance.

The scene at the Sisters of Mercy's Fair
at Turner Hall last evening was bril-
liant one, and the ladies in charge were
given great encouragement in their
worthy undertaking. There was a per-
feet jam of people in attendance. and all
the pretty booths were patronized liber-
ally by the charitably inclined visitors.
The young ladies in charge of the vari-
Gus stands were very active, and their
captivating ways inveigled almost
everyone into buying the various articles
offered for sale. Dozens of raffles were
IN full blast, and wheels of chance were
clicking during the entire evening. The
roulette tables were besieged with people
anxious to win the prizes offered, but the
one at which the cord of wood is being
rallied ATTRACTED the largest crowd.

The young ladies in charge Of the floral
booth commenced work in earnest last
evening, and button-hole bouquets hy
the dozens were sold. There was not a
gentleman IN the hall who did not have a
tlny bouquet pinned TO the lapel of his
coat. Besides these, large bouquets and
baskets OF flowers were sold and the hall
was richly perfumed with the fragrance
OF violets, roses, pinks, heIiotropes and
other Sweetly-Scented flowers
There was great sport at the cigar and
lemonade booths, and these luxuries
were sold at lively rate.
The fancy-work booth was the one that
most OF the ladies admired, and the ex-
quIslte pieces Of handiwork on sale could
not but attract attention.
The lce-cream stand was another of the
favorite resorts. The guests succeeded in
keeping the booth filled constantly.
1t had not become generally known
until last evening what an excellent sup
per the ladies in the gallery were serving.
When the guests became aware of the
fact, however, the tables drew liberal
share of the patronage, and the ladies in
charge were greatly elated over their
success.

Effect of Christian Science and Mine
Cure on 1.-The Regular Practice.

1t is a very old observation that dom
inant idea is valuable in controlling the
human being, and whether it be in the
bearing OF pain or in the devotion that
leads the Turk to die contentedly before
the Russian bullets, belief is factor that
may be turned to great advantage. In
directly, Christian Science may prove an
aid to me iical science. The intelligent
physician of today could receive no
greater aid an the scientific practice OF
his protest. IN than to be emancipateI by
his patients from the obligation invari-
ably to prescribe drug. When people
are willing to employ physicians to order
their lives so that they may live in
health, the custom which binds the ply
stefan to prescribe something fer his
patient will be unnecessary. As we have
become more civilized this state OF affairs
is gradually coming into place; but there
still fingers the expectation that the
doctor's visit means drugs. Christian
science and Faith-cure, more refined
than the spiritualistic beliefs which have
preceded them, form an interesting study
in menta, pathology, and mark an adj
vance fromSHhe grosser stage Of table,
tipping and magnetic doctors to the
recognition of the Fact that among the
e.ponsemployed by the scientific ply
sicians OF today an appeal to determined
purpose to overcome pain is worthy OF q
place beside antiseptics and anodynes
and tonics.-The Century for April.
