STORIES OF THE DAY.

The other night I attended the
'"Twelve Temptations" at the Grand
opera house. When the play was over
l thought 1 would go to the Metropoli-
| tan hotel and meet a friend of mine.
| Passing through Rice park l noticed
! woman sitting on one of the park
| seats, with her face buried in her
| hands l thought to myself, can she
! be waiting for a car in the middle of
| the park. AS 1 walked on toward the
| hotel l could not dismiss that woman
from my mind, as she sat there In
seeming distress. l could not persuade
myself to think otherwise than that she
was in deep trouble. 1 halted at the
corner of the hotel and looked back,
and l could see a dim form; she had
not moved. A thought flashed through
my mind as I stood there in the cold,
cheerless night, with nothing to break
the stiffness save the sound of dis
tant street car, and the bleak, cutting
winds. Perhaps she is respondent, per-
hapS she has no home or friends and
has been thrown out upon the chilly
world to do the best she can. 1 have
always been a philanthropist and have
a warm spot in my heart for any one
in distress. 1 concluded that 1 would
return to the park and see if I could
in any way assist that broken-hearted
woman. I walked back to where she
was sitting, and said to her in ten
der voice these words of consolation:
you will pardon me, miss, for ad-
dressing you, but seeing you here in
the park a cold winter night like this
1 was led to believe that you were in
fr0 cicfn
1 will do all in my power to aid you"
When she looked up at me with her
liquid eye her only reply was: Say,
young 'feller,' now don't you get gay,
or I'll call a cop and have you pinch
ed,' see?" 1 said nc more and walked
away with a misanthropical tread.
The most horrible part of this expe-
rience is: it's the truth. have decided
that this woman is not the thirteenth
temptation.
I recently joined Col. Plummer- for
the purpose of doing a line of platform
work this winter. For the past week
we have been making preparations,
such as packing our scenery and dia-
graming gesticulations on a new lect-
ure entitled Marble Hearts and
Clammy Hands," He advised me to
get a fur overcoat for the trip. I
bought one at very reasonable figure,
but the second day I wore it the hair
commenced to fall out like leaves in
autumn. I took the coat back to the
dealer and told him about it. He said:
That's nothing, the coat is molting; go
to some drug store and get q bottle of
hair vigor and the hair will stick till
this time next year." If ever I get
that man out West will shoot him
on sight.
When I suggested to the colonel that
we lecture in North Dakota first he
raised an objection. when I was in
Dakota" he said, "I talked on poll
tics, and on that subject there is no
charge at the door; this accounted for
the packed houses 1 always drew. 1
do remember, however, I was billed to
lecture in a North Dakota town several
years ago, and there was just one man

He is carried to the American lines
and is about to be executed, but dur
ing the wedding of Capt. Selden and
MaraQuita Teresa, Felipe effects Ra-
mons escape. Regaining his free

his servant, who has long and secret

Miss Rena Atkinson, the leading So
prano of William T. Carleton's opera
company, is pearl of promise. A
voice so sweet, so mellow and so pure
has not been heard upon the local stage
for a long while. Miss Atkinson sings
with delightful ease. Without sug-
gestion of effort she produces the high
est notes in her register. Every tone is
true, round, and clear as crystal. The
young woman's future looks bright.
She is indeed quite young, and will find
ample time to acquire the faculty of
execution, the flexibility and the power
of dramatic expression that compel
universal recognition.
1t is greatly in Miss Atkinson's favor
that at the outset she avoids artificial
methods of expression. She vocalizes
not only gracefully, but naturally. She
expresses her emotion in song without
attracting undue attention to her vocal
technique. 1t is to be hoped that Miss
Atkinson will fulfill the promise she
gives.

five acts, all Of which are arranged In
the English melodramatic style to Sc

contrasts, and every act ends with
thrilling crisis or situation. The story
Of the play opens with Gilbert, Blair,

QUALITY OF KOREANS.
Men Who Pad Over Their Physical
Detects.

The Koreans are a splendid peo-
pie so far as outward appearance
goes, so much so that lately the
Japanese have been unfavorably
contrasted with them. That, how
ever, according to the Fits Soul
correspondent, is a mistake. He
says that with the view of organic
ing trained corps one OF the sur
geons in the Japanese gerrison in
Soul made careful examination of
the bodies OF several hundred Ko-
reans. The first thing that struck
him was their uncleanliness, as the
Koreans are not fond of washing.
He then noticed the defective devel-
opment OF the chest aud upper part
OF the body. When dressed, they
wear wadded clothes round their
chests, thus making their outward
appearance splendid, but when strip
ped the deformity is at once dis
covered. The chest development is
far below that of the ordinary Japa-
nese, and the same may be said OF
the shoulders. The muscles of their
arms are also remarkably weak. The
lower parts OF the body are better
formed, though their legs are not
quite straight, in which respect they
resemble the Japanese. This physi-
cal defect in the people OF this
country is generally attributed to
their habit OF squatting on the
ground, but as the Koreans do not
squat the popular verdict is appar-
emily incorrect. 1t is doubtful
whether Koreans stripped OF their
stuffed stockings and head-gear are
really taller as a nation than the
Japanese. The teeth Of the men
examined were excellent, not one
being decayed. They were also
much freer from q certain class OF
diseases than Japanese soldiers.

JAPAN's FUTURE POLICY.
Advice Of q Native Paper to Avoid
Entangling Alliances.

Now that Japan has risen, Japan
Mail quotes the Fiji as saying, to
the place OF a Power valuable as an
ally and formidable as a foe, she
may be invited by some European
Power or Powers to enter into q
secret alliance in connection with
the politics of the far east. But it
would not be in her best interests to
form any such alliance. Her wisest
policy for the present is not to make
any State her secret enemy or spe-
cial friend, but to dexterously take
advantage Of the balance of power
to promote her own interests. Both
on the Continent Of Asia and in the
South sea islands, there are valuable
hidden treasures in abundance wait
ing to be exploded by Japanese en-.
terprise. In the search of these
gems, there is something to be fear
ed from foreign Intervention, which,
however, may not be very difficult to
avert by diplomatic means. Great
days for Japanese diplomatists are
indeed close at hand. The influence
OF the Irish Home Rule partisans,
who, though numbering only 70 or
80, in the British House OF Com
mons, WELD to the advantage, the
balance between the numerous Lib
erals and Conservatives, is a mirror
in which Japanese statemen ought
to see clearly reflected the possibili-
ty OF reaping for their country good
fruits by remaining outside the
European hierarchy Of ambitious
States.

The Habit Of Saving.

The French suffer less from panicS
and depressions than any other people
on the globe, and it is because thrift is
the basis of their prosperity.
In France nearly every person saves
something for rainy day. The habit
is almost universal, and those who earn
the least are sure to be found in this
great saving class. The French savings
banks have more than 100000 depos-
itors, and their deposits amount to
about $500, 900, 900, and this large sum
is made up of small amounts.
The French schools teach the child
rem to save money, and the most fire.
quent prize given to bright pupil is a
savings bank book with a small sum to
the credit of the owner. This is given
where, in this country, we would give
a medal or book.
Every child should be taught the
Importance of saving without being
avaricious and niggardly. We need
more thrift. The average American
wage Garner wastes enough in-his life
time to make him comfortable in his
old age. We should take lessen from
the French in this respect. They know
how to enjoy life and at the same time
work hard and save money.

Novelist Steyenson's Prayer.

NOVELIST SCeyenSOn'S prayeF.
Published by request
Here is touching prayer writtenor
composed by Robert Louis Stevenson
as read to his family the night before
he died. 1t is reproduced from the
British Weekly;
We ebeseech Thee, Lord, to behold us
with favor, folk of many families and
nations, gathered together in the peace
of this roof; weak men and women,
subssting under the covert of Thy pa
tience. Be patient still; suffer us yet
while longer, with our broken promises
of good, with our idle endeavors against
evil; suffer US while longer to endure,
and (if it may be) help us to do better.
Bless to us our extraordinary mercies;
if the day come when these must be
taken, have US play the man under af-
fliction. Be with our friends; be with
ourselves. Go with each of US to rest;
if any wake, temper to them the dark
hours of watching; and when the day
returns to US, our sun and comforter,
call us with morning faces and with
morning hearts, eager to labor eager
to be happy, if happiness shall be our
portion; and if the day be marked to
sorrow, strong to endure it. We thank
Thee and praise Thee; anu in the words
of Him to whom this day is sacred,
close our oblation.
This pathetic composition is said to
be the last he wrote-ED.l

we are to send labOrers to China and
Africa, to Alaska and our own great
West. 1t means that Christian people
everywhere and always are to be seek
ing and seizing opportunities to make
the Gospel known, and to extend
Christ's Kingdom. This parish which
is but little fraction of Christ's Holy
Church universal, has its share in this
great work, and every one of us in
virtue of his baptism has his part to do.
Our work lies right at hand. Wher-
ever there is coldness, wherever there
is ignorance of the Gospel message,
wherever there is unchristlike living
there is duty for you an: ne. We are
to live the Christian life. We are to
show forth Gods glory by allowing the
grace of His Holy Spirit to appear in
our words and deeds. We are to labor
faithfully with open eyes, and ready
hands and earnest speech for the cause
of Christ our King. The sacraments
of life are not for favored few; they
are for every human soul. The Chris
tian faith is not only for the number,
alas too small, who now profess to ac-
cept it; it is for every man and woman
and child to receive and accept and
live by. The treasures of the past are
placed in our keeping to-day. 1t is
ours to dispense them in our homes
and in the community in which we
live. Faithless we shall be in Gods
sight and faithless we shall be declared
when the great day comes, if we fail to
fulfil the trust which is so plainly put
in our keeping. Put away the I'M
christian thought that we are respon-
sible to God only for our own souls. II
is indeed not true. If the men Of old
had proceeded Oh that principle, this
church would never have been built,
nay more the Christian faith itself
would have died in the first age. We
are responsible for those about us; we
are responsible for all duties put in our
way; we are responsible for the souls
of those to whom we might bear the
light.
1t was under the auspices of the
Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel that this parish had its birth.
May all of us who live within its
borders be true society for the pro-
pagation of the gospel in all this
favored region. Let us show forth the
gospel in our lives, and let US not
forbear to declare it with our lips. Let
us rouse ourselves to sense of the
work which our King has given us to
do. With prayer to God for His
guidance and help, let US 60 forth from
this venerable place determined not
only to lay hold for ourselves on the
blessings He has given us. but also to
do all we can to share those blessings
with others. The future is greater
than the past, and survey of the past
is of value only when it stirs us to
greater effort.
