THE GOLDEN RULE OF BRITISH
COURTESY.

have had Americans tell me, and
most interesting Americans they
were, of dinners in London where
they had sat, alter the women left
the room, in absolute isOla ton, " hen
the men near them turned their
backs on them, and talked of things
interesting only to themselves, and
left the stranger to the mercieS of
the butler. Imagine anything like
that with us! Imagine our neglect
ing a guest to that eXteut-and an
Englishman too! We might not
like him, and would find HIM prob
ably a trif1e obtuse, but we would
not let him see it, and we would at
least throw him word now and
again, and ask him If he meant to
shoot big game, or merely to write
d book about US. 1t might not be
that we intended to read his book,
or cared whether he shot moose or
himself, but as long as he was our
guest we would try to make him feel
that we did not consider our re-
sponsibility was at an end when we
gave him his bread and-butter. But
the average Enghshman and En-
glish women does not feel this re-
sponsibility. l remember a dinner
given in New York last winter to
prominent Englishman who was
visiting this country, and there hap
pened to be number of very clever
men at the table who were good af-
ter-dinner takers, and not atter-din-
ner story tellers, which is a vastly
different thing. The Englishman's
contribution to the evenings enter
tainment was succession of stories
which he had heard on this side, and
which he told very badly. The
Americans were quite able to judge
OF this, as they had told the stories
themselves many different times.
But they all listened with the most
serious or amused interest, and
greeted each story with the proper
amount of laughter, and by saying,
How very good" and Quite de-
lightfull" Then they all reached
under the table and kicked the shins
of the unhappy host who had sub
jected them to this trial. In England
it would not have been the host nor

his English friends who would have
been the one to suffer. ! went with
a man who had never been in
London before to garden party
last summer, and warned him on the
way that he would not be intro
duced to anyone, and that after he
had met his hostess he would prob
ably be left rooted to a block of
stone on the terrace, and would be
as little considered as a marble
statute. He smiled scornfully at
this, but half an hour after our ar
rival l passed him for the third time
as he stood gazing dreamily out
across the park just where had left
him. And as 1 passed he dropped
the point of his stick to the ground,
and drew it carefully around the
lines of the slab of marble upon
which he was standing, and then
continued to smile significantly out
across the lawn. l do not think
they treat us in this way because we
are Americans, but because we are
strangers, and London is very
busy place, and very big place,
and those who 60 about there have
their time more than taken up al
ready, and have but little to spare
for the chance visitor. 1t is the
same with their own people

NERVES WERE UNSTRUNG.
MRS. SHORT Wa LEA DING LIFE
OF MISERY.
Until She Used the Great Remedy,
Paine's Celery Compound.
The Burden of Housekeeping Fails
Heavily on Mothers.

Housekeeping is growing less simple
and more and more complex each year.
A home that processes to be we'll regu-
lated today is far more difficult to man
age than was the same kind of home
SO or 60 years ago.
Upon the women falls the burden.
Many work themselves into nervous
exhaustion. Many mothers grow so ir
ritable that they feel at all times halt
guilty, fearing that their disease-for it
is a disease, and a most dreadful one
may result in affecting the otherwise
sunny disposition of their children.
What pain is to the broken limb, such
is nervous irritability to the exhausted
brain. One is as real as the other.
But thousands of irritable, nervous,
tired and broken-down women have
found their health and strength, and re-
gained their even tenIpers, through the
use OF the greatest remedy the world has
ever known, the remedy first prescribed
by the eminent Prof. E. E. Phelps, Nd.
D., LII. D., of Dartmouth college.
Let every woman read the following
voluntary testimonial from Mrs. E. E.
Haverhill, Mass, and learn one of the
thousands OF wonderful cures that are
wrought by Paine's celery compound:
Though never very strong, | was al
ways well until l was married. l was
10 years old then and am % now and
the mother OF four children. | got
frightened just before my little girl was
born, and have never wholly recovered
from it. | have taken medicine enough
to swim in. l have been so nervous that
l did not dare to go out in the back
room after dark unless some one went
with me for fear | should scream.
Il have been very thankful that l used
Paine's celery compound, for as q result
] can now go out evenings and not feel
so awful. Every one tells me how well
look. l do my work all alone, and peo-
pie ask me how l do so much, and | tell
them because l used Paine's celery COM
pound.
My husband has spent enough money
for me for doctors, nurses, and medicine
to pay for a home, and he is very thank
full that took Paine celery compound"

INRARMoNIoUs WORSHIP.

We pay honest tributes of respect
to the choir leaders, OrganistS and
singers who are themselves genuine
worshipers, who accept their posi-
as a sacred trust, akin to that OF the
minister, and who measure their
success by the degree in which they
find themselves rising, with the con-
grega ton, into closer fellowship with
God and a more exalted conception
of his character. There are many
such But there is a class of pro-
fessional leaders in public worship
who have no such interest They
are not in sympathy with the aims
OF the church. Their aspirations are
musical but not devotional. They
regard their part in the service as in
dependent of the remainder, which is
to them of small account.
This professionalism in divine
worship in many churches amounts
to a tyranny. 1t dictates to the
Ministerial least it disciplines him
if he ventures to insist on hymns or
tunes which the choir does not ap-
prove. 1t sets the limit to the time
he may pray and preach, with re-
quests that are little short of de-
mands. In various ways many
churches foster this professionalism
which chokes their very life. They
seek elsewhere than among their own
membership for their leading sing
ers. They are as averse to en-
couraging an apprenticeship among
their own children for what should
be sacred office in serving the
church as are trades unions. They
choose music committees whose
standards are purely professional.
They do not inquire into the
religious character of those whom
they employ to do their singing for
them. They judge merely by the
singers voice whether or not
he can lead them up to God. This
professionalism is increasing among
our churches. 1t creates discords
which destroy reverence, vitiate in
struction and grieve the Holy Spirit.
1t would be better for the spiritual
life of the churches that their organs
should be silent and that no import
ed voice should be heard in them,
than that these professional notes
should continue to jar all the chords
which they cannot silence The

AN ETHIOPIAN WHO CHANGES HIS
SKIN.

A COlOred man named William
Rodney has been discovered out West
who changes his color from black to
white and then back again to black
once in about three years. Rodney
was born in slavery on the border OF
Arkansas and Missouri He is
fifty-eight years old, and is a full
bloOded negro. In early life he rau
away and skipped to Canada. He
was then a typical black African,
with thick lips, broad nose and
woOIly hair. Twelve years ago his
skin began to bleach until his whole
body, with the exception of his knee
caps and a few spots on his face and
ears, became as white as the fairest
white man. The largest spots Of
dark skin are about the size OF post
age stamps, and adOrn his nose and
checks, ending with few sprinklings
and what look like treckles on his
neck and ears. These spots about
once every three years turn perfectly
white and then gradually change to
a coffee brown. He has been IN the
charcoal and whitewash business
for a number of years. His case has
baff1ed the doctors, who have made
a careful examination of him. He
can give no cause tor the change.
any other labOrer. A noticea bic
thing about his bleaching is that his
hands are not even tanned. They
are as white as the rest of his body

Mrs. Lease q Mason.

The editor of the Chase County
Kan. Leader is Mason and il
supposed to speak "by the card
when he exposes the initiation
through which Mrs. Mary Lease
must have passed if she is a Mason,
as she states. He says:
"We wonder if Mrs. Lease knew
what she was telling when she said
she was Mason? When a candi-
date is initiated in Masonic
Lodge, he is stripped as naked as
when heaven born, except that he
has more hair on his head of course.
He is then mounted on goat, his
feet tied together beneath the ami
malls stomach, and his hands fas-
tened to the horns. A cookie bur
is then placed beneath the goats
tail, and the march begins. The
candidate is kept warm by the right
and left boss Masons, who smite
him on the rear breasts with large
wooden paddles, etc. Of course
there is nothing improper about
this for woman to undergo, only
a little incOnvenient."

DEBs NOT RESPONSIBLE,
A Physical and Mental Wreck From
Dissipation.

The New York Advertiser says,
DR.. B. Robinson is one of the few
New Workers who know something
of antecedents of Eugene v. Debs
DR.. Robinson is specialist of the
nervous diseases and treated Debs
in April, 1892, for a serious case Of
dipsomania. At that time Debs
was prominent in labor agitation
and the editor of a labor paper in
Terre Haute, Ind.
His system broke down complete
~ under alcoholic excess and he
became a mental and physical
wreck. With letter of introduc-
ton from Robert G. Ingersoll he
came to New York and was treated
by DR.. Robinson and was restored
to something like health again.
DR.. Robinson sent letter to Debs
Thursday night warning him that
he was in no condition to enter
upon such an undertaking as the
management of the great A. R. u.
strike.
II consider him almost, if not
fully, Irresponsible" said DR.. Rob-
inson, land l told him so in my
telegram. His physical condition
is not good and the effects of dipso-
mania may effect his intellect. l
have received no answer to my tel
egram and the superstition is that
Mr.. Debs considers himself insulted
by calling himself irresponsible.
He will break down physically and
probably mentally as soon as this
strain is over, if not before, and will
probably relapse into his former
dissipated habits"

Recent letters from Paris anc
London are filled with accounts o.
the doings of the Goulds, says the
New York Herald, who seem no,
only to have walked, but to have
plunged into English and Continen'
tai society on very short notice
Mrs. ]. c. Aver gave dinner fol-
Miss Anna Gould last week, al
which several prominent members
of the American colony were pres
ent, and under the guidance and
patronage of Mrs. Arthur Paget,
Mr.. and Mrs George Gould have at
tended most of the prominent
functions of the London season of
late. It is whispered that a royal
parsonage has gone considerably
out of his way to be attentive to
the Goulds, and that q visit to
Sandringham in the near future is
one result of this attention.
All this is strange reading to New
Workers, who remember Mr.. and
Mrs. George Gould's visit to New
port only last summer, and the
comparative strangers that they
we're, even at that recent period, to
New York society. Mrs. Gould,
has been much admired in London,
and she seems to enjoy the atten-
ton bestowed upon her husband
and herself more than Mr.. Gould
who devotes most of his time to
of the arrangements for
the forthcoming races If which the
is to take part, and in plan
ming the details for the same. Mr..
Howard Gould. of course, on the

Pennoyer's Reminder.

Governor Pennoyer of Oregon
speaking of the late strikes. says
eff the president had listened to
the appeal in my Christmas letter,
and, by carrying out the pledges
of the platform on which he was
elected, had secured the use of both
gold and silver, business would
have revived and existing wide
spread idleness, poverty and discon-
tent-the triple progeny of a gold
basis-would have been prevented.
Sufficient money and compulsory
arbitration, and not federal bayo-
nets and executive usurpation are
the needs of the hour"
The Salt Lake Tribune says !:
THAT is the absolute truth. When
country begins to slow down and
times begin to grow hard, when
values shrink so per cent, it is i'm
possible for men who employ other
men to pay the same that they paid
before the shrinkage, and play even.
Then come strikes then comes vi
olence. congestion, apprehension
and trouble and our Government is
the more to blame because the
cause was pointed out, not only last
Christmas but years ago, and no
President that has been in the chair
has comprehended the significance
of it, no Congress has ever yet COM
pretended the significance of it, but
the trouble lies exactly where Gov
ernor Pennoyer says it does, and
the trouble will not be cured until
that wrong shall be righted.
