Visiting

Many of us who pride ourselves on
our good breeding are singularly blind
rs to what is due to friends who are
visiting people unknown to ms, or who
are entertaining guests whom W. have
never met. Nor are We more assured
as to some of the points Of etiquette
toward our W guests and to our own
hosts when we make an occasional f1it-
ting from home.
1t is useless to decry etiquette by
saying that the best in all
cases are those which hurt no one.
This is true as a general law. but there
always are some points which leave no
room for experiments as to what will
hurt another, aud which vet may he
settled once for all by a few rules.
Ii you have m acquaintance who is
entertaining friends whom she wishes
You to meet, it IS your duty to call
promptly, and if possible offer some
hospitality to both guests and hosts.
If the position is reversed, and your
friend is visiting people unknown to
you, never go to see your friend with
out leaving a card for the hostess. If
you give an entertainment for the
friend, be very sur to invite her hosts
also. 1t does not follow that your in
~vitation will be accepted, but if it is,
the hostess must be treated as the guest
of honor and shown every Difference.
4, for instance, the entert ,inment is a
luncheon for young ladies, she may be
asked to take the seat at the end OF the
table opposite to your own.
If the mutual friend is your gues.,
you MY be sure that, il she is a woman
OF good-breeding, she, in turn, will
accept no invitation which does not in
clude you, although you may think
best to decline 1t and insist upon her
going alone. Nor will she receive
visit RS without asking you to join
them in the parlor--should her friends
be rude enough to have sent you no
cards. Here, too, you may excuse
yourself, or at most, join them with
such delay as to give them 3 short
interview alone.
These same rules hold good for you
when you are the guest. Before you
so to make the v s I, send word to your
friends where and with whom you are
to stay, 80 that there may be no idea
that You are in a boarding house, and
therefore mistress of your time and
surroundings, This constant defer
ence to your hostess should lead you
to order all letters and packages to be
addressed to her care.
As to the Disposal Of your time, when
yon are visiting, no etiquette requires
You TO accept all the plans OF your
hostess, if you feel unable to do so;
but care is needed to show that refusal
means lack OF strength, not lack Of
interest and inclination. With a little
tact on both sides, you will have many
hours for your own.
Indeed, n skilful hostess will manage
to secure you this privilege, and not
make the mistake Of working too hard
to amuse you, and so absorb every
moment OF your visit into her idea OF
what is pleasure for Won.

.EDIS0N'S WORKSHOP.
Acres of Buildings Filled with Mar
veIlous Things.
THE KINETOGRAPH HIS LATEST.
His Telephone From the sun Nearly Ready
He Predicts Some Inventions of the
Future.

Mr.. Edison was recently found by re-
porter working away in his shirtsleeves
at some device he was striving to perfect.
He had one OF his inventive streaks on. II
was at his great laboratory in Llevellyn
Park, n. j.
In one corner OF the room was wash
stand, and the rest OF the space was taken
up with bottles, machines, and other arti-
cles for experiments. The room In which
Mr.. Edison sleeps when at the laboratory
is quito as simple. This laboratory covers
several acres. Its original cost must have
been more than $500 900. and IL takes. it Ia
said, more than 100000 year to run 1t.
It is the most complete laboratory In the
world. and no inventor in history has ever
had anything like 1t. In its storeroom
Mr.. Edison has pieces OF every known
material substance. he says, from a spool
OF cotton to the eyeballs OF a United
States Senator. There are more than
5000 different articles In the storeroom,
and some OF them cost 81 900 an ounce.
The workshops OF the laboratory cover
more than four acres Of floor space. and
the great big brick building, with its big
windows, looks more like a factory than
a place for experiments. Everything In
II is complete. from its mechanical rooms
to Its musical department. and you will
find no finer photograph gallery anywhere
In the country.

EImwocd congregational Church.

At the Elmwood Congregational Church
last evening the pastor, the Rev. j. Lam
bert, preached from Judges 3:15, "A man
left handed" This was the popularity
of Ehud VINO, when the Israelites were
underth the yoke Of Eglon. kingof the Moab
ties, was sent by God as their deliverer in
answer 20 the prayer. He carried pres
ents from the children Of Israel to Eglon,
and after delivering the presents asked for
a hearing.
This was granted and Ebud assassinated
the king after which the Israeltes forced
themselves from the yoke. The fact of
Ehud's being left handed was the subject
of the discourse last night. lie said that
in as much as it had always been com
mon in all ages to use the right hand
most, left handedness had always been
considered singular. The children of
Israel asked for a deliverer and God sent
him in the person Of left handed
man. The hand is the symbol of mans
nature and strength. In this left-handed
man we find four characteristics. He was
strong, singular, scheming and successful
lie was the Israelites' deliverer. This
shows that many men may be dependant
on one man. IL shows how much power
Is centered in one man. God has often
made use Of man with some popularity
to accomplish some great work What
seems an eccentricity may be used for a
great thing. Christ was man left
handed-not literally, but eccentric, and
so tue Jews cruciiied him.

according to conscience or not. lie spoke
of a similar crusade inaugurated at St.
Paul, Mimi.
Mr. Davis then extended his congratula-
tion 10 Mr.. Rood on the stand he had
taken, and said that IL he authorities of
the town were 40 blind that they could not
see through the matter then IL was only
right for those on the side of right to call
on the Supreme Court TO issue manda-
mus prohibiting it. IL no redress could be
obtained here then the next thing was to
call on the Governor, and, II necessary
the militia, 10 put IL down. III these
suffice not, then il shall be left 10 come be-
fore the Supreme Judge of all nations.
The pastor has arranged for very
pleasant entertainment next Thursday
evening at the church. The Swiss bell
ringers will give concert and it is en-
s,ired that il will be very fine.
At the Church OF the Messiah yesterday
the morning service was presided over by

At the First Baptist Church.

At the First Baptist church last even
ing, Rev. Henry NJ. King, ID. d., con-
tinued his discourse on "Agnosticism,"
which was commenced the previous Sun
day. The preacher took for his text III
Corinthians 81, For we know that if
our earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved we have "a building of God, n
house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens"
The discourse was mainly a holding up
of infdelism To the scorn of the public,
and general discussion of the theories
advanced by Robert Ingersoll and Prof.
Huxley.
at is the old fallacy which believes only
what can be seen. An infidel says there
/ is no heaven, because he cannot see il: no
hell because he cannot see it. As well
might he claim that there are no other
lands save this because he cannot see
them; no phenomena of nature because
he cannot see them. Conscience, reason
and faith open TO us another world, as
real as, and more durable than this, and
we look forward to an eternal
life in heaven, but we cannot see it except
with our spiritual eyes. The American
apostle Of agnosticism first denies the ex-
istence of the supernatural and judges the
Wnole case Dy advancing theories or his
own. To cap the climax, he disclaims all
liability to his belief stating that il is due
TO this popularity of himself Is he any
different from you or I' Nol 1t is but
pure obstinacy on the part of the individ-
ual. lie will not see the truth and there
fore cannot.
Listen TO the Agnostic's creed, how
deep and full of meaning is il. He says,

him, therefore God is "A mythical person

"The basis of our faith rests upon our
instructive hopes, and is born and bred
within us. The denial of another world
beyond this is the denial of the testimony
of the soul, but christian faith I'm immor-
