ONE ON THE ELDER PASTOR
A Contest in Extempore Preaching
Which Had Unexpected Results.

Two ministers were once conversing
on exte'nporaneous preaching.
"Well," said the elder of the two,
waxing warm, ''you are running your
self by writing your sermons and read
ing them off Your congregation can
not become interested i'll your preaching
and if you were called upon to preach
Unexpectedly, unless you could get
hold of an old sermon, you would te
completely confused"
The young divine used all his elo-
quenCe, but in vain, to convince his
brother that the written sermon tx
pressed his own thoughts and feelings,
and if called upon he could preach
extemporaneously.
GAS we are Of the same faith" said
he, suppose you try HE next Sunday
morning. On ascending the pulpit you
can hand me text from any part OF
the Bible, and | will convince you that
| can preach without having looked at
the text before | stood up. Likewise,
l must be allowed the same privilege
with you, and we will then see who will
make the best of it."
The idea seemed to delight the elder
preacher and it was immediately agreed
upon. The following Sabbath, on
m uniting the pulpit, the senior brother
handed the younger slip, on which
was written: "And the ass opened his
mouth and spake," from which the
young divine preached a gloriously
good sermon, chslning the attention Of
his delighted hearers and charming his
old friend with his eloquence.. Fol-
the afternoon the young minist, +

After rising and opening the Bible
the old man glanced at the slip and in
dOleiul voice he read aloud, "Am

him and the Prince and Princess Of

the Anglican church, while he goes to
the Russian chapel which has been
erected for him in the city. Some
times also on week days he starts in
cognito in a gray suit and large soft
felt hat, and, taking with him two or
three of his children, enters a common
cab at the station and drives to Oster-

to the Confectioners, to the intense
delight of his young companions.

Valuable Pearls.

The largest pearl ever found measures two
inches long and weighs three ounces. This
is of eastern origin. The largest found in
the Gulf of California did not exceed an
inch and quarter long and was somewhat
larger than the egg of bluebird. Many of
the California pearls are black and speckled.
These are considered more valuable than
the white pearls of Europe, but the most
highly priced pearls of all are pink.-Har-

crow so persistently in the early morning
may be because the morning papers are

hair was bound with the classic fillet,
and very becoming to these pretty
Greeks it was. At the close of the
dance, and Just before the tableau, two
of the dancers stepped aside and re-
turned with antique lamps burning
with pale-blue flames. 1t needed only
a little effort of imagination to see
among the columns that made the stage
setting a party of vestas watching at
the shrine of their particular goddess
''in the days when Plato wrote and
Homer sang"
One of the prettiest dances in the
whole KirmeSS was the cachucO. and the
prettest, or rather the most effectively
dressed in this dance was Mrs. John
Merriam, who wore lovely costume of
black lace over white silk, the full skirt
of the black lace, with soft, full waist
and sash of red silk. A fall of wide
black lace from gilt comb completed
the costume, and this feature gave the
peculiarly Spanish look to the dressing.
Miss Margaret Mann was lovely in an
all-White costume, white lace over white
silk, white lace on her silver comb, and
sweet pink rose over her fair head
added the finishing touch to very
dainty picture.
Miss Margaret hall, III her black cos
tune, looked all ideal Spanish sengnior-
eta. The dress of black lace was
studded with jets and little bits of gold
lace that gave suggestion of yellow.
very bewildering and misleading to the
beholder. Her black hair was outlined
by the delicate maZes OF the lace on her
comb, and her sparkling face and be-
wildering smile were the most fascinat-
ing bit of the evening. In fact heard

desires to remain fancy free, declare

sOubrette was in her most rOllicking
mood. There is spirit and precision in
Miss Greve's dancing, and her attitudes
are very pretty.
Theater parties were recurring feat
ure of the incoming audience. There
were large number of them. Craw-
ford Livingston, Percy Parker, Luther
Newport. John M. Blakeley and w. H..
Lightner were among those who eS-
corted these chattering companies.
The amateur nature of things Occa-
sionally displayed itself, for all that the
Stagemaster could do. A number OF
times the curtain rose upon tardy or
fiustered straggler behind the scenes.
Several sllken gowns. animated with
scurrying heels, were frequently eff
fecting escape before chatter and ap-
plause.
The French peasantry gavotte was a
clever performance by the young boys

moved with proper spirit of his part.
The FIngarella by the trio. Mrs. Tay-
lor and Misses Day and WhItehouse,
was deservedly applauded to the echo.
AT the conclusion of this dance each
lady was presented with flowers.
Every box in the house was alive with
parties or the costumed participants.
This was an OCCASION when papas and
their immediate posterity abandoned

The Ancient Dance of Greece was a
somber melody of slow, stately meas

Miss Hall, in La Cachuco, became a
danseuse of the high Spanish school.
Flowers, applause and an encore fol-
lowed this delightful performance.
The temperature and enthusiasm of
the house were very hlgh-sO were the
gross receipts.
1t does seem. though, that if time,
effort and the individual outlay for cos
tuning and collective expense of the
scheme and spectacle had been origin
ally reduced to money, the result TO
sweet charity would be fourfold greater.

Like all Of the old-faShioned dances.
the minuet is stately and slow and cere-

costumes should be worn in the dance.
These were of heavy silk bringing to
mind, as one looked at their full rich
folds, the old myth of the silk dress
that could stand alone. These gowns
were made in Empire style. and were of
