ws might do would be but temporary
relief There would be no lasting good in
It The kindest charity would be to put
this beggar, whose story persuades us that
here ut last Is that improbable person, the
honest mendicant-to put this be&gar within
reach of personal uplifting influence, where
he may get what is more helpful than any
amount Of money-the inspiration and the
comfort of individual interest. And we
can do that. There Is an association in
Pittsburg which makes that possible. I
mean the Association for the Improvement
Of the Poor. They have their stations all
about the city. They have their districts
and their district visitors They are in the
position to verify for us the sad tales Of all
the unknown beggara They make it
A Part Of Their Business
to do that And when they find an in
stance Of real need, where . bag of -four
and bushel Of potatoes, as St. James says
Is ever so much more religious gift than y
prayer and good advice, they minister to
that need. They look after that family.
They try to get work for those who are out
Of work, and make 1t their business to set
these people on their feet again.
If we really want to help the unknown
beggars who assail us at our doors with
we will help them through
this excellent association, by means of this
organized and efficient charity. The Asso-
citation for the Improvement Of the Poor has
tickets which can be had by

The Worst Enemies of the Poor.

These people are the enemies Of the poor
They bring all honest poverty into dlsrs-
pute. They harden the hearts Of the gener-
Gus. They take the money that many .
hungry man or woman would be glad to
spend for bread, and they spend It for beer.
Every dime that is given to these beggars
encourages pauperism, invites idle rascality
to continue in idleness, and goes to the sup
port Of that most pernicious Of all our in
stitutions, tho saloon.
I believe, indeed, that we ought to desire
to help even the undeserying poor. We
ought to try to lift up all those who are
down; and If they are down morally as well
Is socially, II they lack conscience - well
as comfort, If they are not only poor In
treasure here on earth, but are absolutely
bankrupt up in heaven, SO much the more
do they need our interest, and our pity, and
our help. Jesus came, He said, to seek and
save the undeserving poor, the lost. He
was reproached BY great many respeetable
people because He was the friend Of sinful
men and sinful women. If We are Chris-
tians we will follow His example. These
thieves and liars who come to us with their
manufactured misery, and try to persuade
us to support them in their evil Hving-we
ought to be interested In them. They are
brothers and sisters of ours. We ought to
give them when they ask-but not to give
them what they. For the purpose of Jesus
in His intercourse with the undeserving
poor was always to uplift them. He never
gave them anything that would encourage
them to keep on in their old life. He took
them by the hand, indeed, and met them
kindly. And 30 ought we But 1t was that
He might lift them up. Indiscriminats
charity will never lift anybody up. It is
our Christian duty to refuse absolutely to
give anything, even pair of shoes, to an
unknown beggar at the door.

selves look up the case, is to send the beg

You see what your Lord and Master directs
YOU to do Obey, without hesitation and
without question. Why, that would
actually Kill half the babies in this town to-
morrow.
It must, then, I think, be evident that
Jesus when he said this did not mean It to
be taken literally. What he meant to teach
was not the letter of pernicious, indis-
criminats and injudicious distribution, but
the spirit of unselfshness, of generosity, OF
fraternal love. We are to give only when
It is likely that nine times out often to-day
we will best observe the spirit Of this word
of Jesus by simply refusing to give to him
that asketh.
Of course, have in mind here that great
problem which We ell wish to have solved,
the problem Of charity. How shall we help
the poor? We all want to do that. The
poor, know, have hard thoughts some
times about those who live moro comfortable
lives than they. And yet believe it to be
q fact of almost universal application that
all the people who have money really de-
sire to help those who have none. The diff

Most people remember that description
which Jesus gave Of the last judgment

We have no wish to be among that cqp-

But how shall we minister to Christ? How
shall we know him when we see him? It
used to be thought that If we were to give to
all that asked, and never turn q beggar from
our door, then, at least, we would not miss
Christ when he came. But we are learning
now that 80 times out Of 100-yes, and in
most peoples experience oftener than that
-th beggar is not the disguised Christ, but
the disguised devil. And we are beginning
to doubt if Christ would desire US to do his
poor harm hundred times in the hope that
one time out of the hundred we might do

LONDON, March 26.-[Copyright. l-Ons
OF the features Of the farewell banquet to
Whitelaw Reid in Paris Thursday night
arose out OF the circumstances that
Micaremi was being celebrated in France
on that day, and that most of the men who
sat down to dinner were covered with con-
fett- Old residents said they had never
seen so many people in the streets as on
Thursday, for the day was exceptionally
fine and almost the first pleasant one of the
season.
Tout Paris and every Frenchman within
100 miles who could get to the capital were
in the boulevards to see the procession and.
take part in the paper war. Confetti fell,
like snow all along the boulevards. from the
Madeline to the Place de la Bastfle. Men
and women were sowing 1t broadcast from,
the windows upon the people in the streets
Pedestrians ran alongside Of the pro.
cession wagons and threw it over the
back with equal zest. In the Bois and the
Champs Elysoes the aristocrats were netting
each other from their Carriages and from on
horseback, and all over the city children
were scraping 1t up in the streets and fling
ing it over each other.
just as Mr.. Reid drove from tho Rue Cas-
tiglione into the courtyard of the Con-
tinental Hotel, where the banquet took
place, an adventurous sprite of feminine
gender in mask and tights opened the car
riage door and threw an entire cornucopia
OF confetti over the Minister. There is no
getting rid of these paper missives after q
baptism, unless one undresses and shakes
out all his rafment, and so when Mr. Reid
rose to speak, confetti sifted out of his
sleeves and onto the floor from his trousers
buttons. Consul General King, who pre-
sented the address to the retiring Minister,
bad his hair full of paper. General Mere
dith Reid had confetti in his mustache and
shirt front, and all the guests who had come
through the streets were spotted with it as
If they had been in a stage snowstorm.
How many tons of paper were thrown
about the streets on Thursday and al the
Casino and the opera balls in the evening
would be yenturesome to estimate. At mid
night the bulevards and the principal streets
were half an inch deep in it.

mountain lake nearly surrounded by
deep woods, my attention was attracted
each night, just ct shutdown, by an os-
prey that always came from the Same
direction, dipped into the lake az he
passed over 1t for sip Of its pure water,
and disappeared in the woods beyond.
The routine of his life was probably a.
marked az that Of any OF ours.
He fished the waters OF the Delaware
all day, probably never going beyond .
certain limit, and returning each night
ut shutdown, as punctual as q day -laborer,
to his retreat in the forest. The sip Of
water, too, from the lake he never failed
to take.
All the facts we possess in regard to the
habits Of the song birds in this respect

was extinguished without much damage.
The house OF Ferdinand Kreiner was
struck by a ball of electric fire, which ex-
ploded with tremendous force. A fire.
alarm was turned in, but the electrical
display burned itself out without even
setting fire to the house. Eyewitness
say 1t was the most remarkable sight they
ever witnessed. An enormous electric
globe of fire lodged against the peak oil
the house, where it hung, burning and
splitting flashes of fire until exhausted.
Every inmate OF the place was more or
less severely shocked, the air being
heavily charged. All watches and clocks
on the premises were stopped and other
electrical phenomena occurred.-Pitts-
