The Prince of Wales, who is a So
cial autocrat malgre lui, initiated

wonder if little supper parties will
become the vogue with very smart
people, now that they have so dis
tinguished a precedent? L am in
clined to doubt it-frst, because it
would necessitate screening the box
to such an extent that the stage
could scarcely be seen; and, secondly,
unless it were served in the longest
entr' r'acte, it would be sorry compli-
ment to the players. Imagine listen
ing to the soliloquy of Hamlet or the
heart-broken plant of Romeo to the
accompaniment of Pierrier-Jouet or
pate de foie gras! At the lightest of
light opera it would be in keeping
but even then I am not sure that the
innovation would be wise one. AT
the same time, when plays begin at
an hour when one is usually dining,
and leave off at one too late for
many people to risk a solid meal
and nightmare, a petit souper be-
tween the acts would often be very
welcome in place of the conventional
tea, coffee or ices.

PORTRAITS OF CHRIST.
Those of the Savior Supposed to
BE Exact Likenesses.
ST Louis RenubIic

st. Louis Republic.
A great many persons suppose that
the portraits of Jesus exhibited in the
, shop windows or used to adorn various
religious books especially the several
Lives of Christ which have appeared
from time to time, are exact likeness
es of the Savior. We have 1t, however,
on the authority of the most noted &C.
clesiastical writer's of both modern
and ancient times that nothing could
be more erroneous than such suppo-
sition. Neither have we what could
be called an accurate pen picture of
the lowly NaZarene. The Gospels give
no hint whatever concerning His per-
sonal appearance, and the supposed
reference in the Old Testament (most
notably the fifty-third chapter of
Isaiah and the Song of Solomon) give
descriptions of beings as widely diff
ferent in looks as one could well i'm
agine. According to the reference of
Isaiah, Christ was not only homely,
but of perfectly hideous personal ap-
pearance. In the Song of Solomon He
was described as the perfect ideal of
manly beauty. From these different
conceptions of the Messiah descend
the two types of the picture OF Jesus
the Ecce Homo and the Salvador.
OF real painted pictures of the Savior
there are none that can be pro-
nounced genuine and authentic. The
reason of this probably lies in the fact
that the Jewish law forbade all at
tempts at making images and likeness
eS. We first hear of portrait of Christ
IN the famous correspondence between
Jesus and King Abgarus, an account
OF which is given in the manuscript of
Eusebius, which was written about
the year 800 A. D.
Many of the early fathers of the
church We're of the opinion that this
portrait, which is said to have been
sent from Jesus to Abgarus as a
charm to cure the latter of "a grievous
Luke. Others say that it was prob
ably painted by st. Thomas. and stiD
others are of the opinion that it was
not painted at all, but that it was a
miraculous imprint of the Divine feat
ures, outlined in blood, on a piece of
line linen. For several centuries there
was preserved in the treasury at Con-
stantinople an emerald, upon which
was a cut portrait, said to be an exact
representation of the features of Jesus
1t was claimed that this jewel dated
back to the first or second century A
d., one authority stating that it was
cut by command of the Emperor tt
6erius After being kept for ages in
hands of the Turks, before the city
mentioned above was finally taken by
them, and in 14S3 was given to Pope
Innocent VIII. by the sultan as a ran
som for the latter's brother In 1902 a
brass medal of undoubted antiquity,
bearing an image purporting to be a
portrait of Christ, was dug up at An
glesea, Wales. The picture on the en-
erald and that on the Welsh medal are
said to be exactly alike in every re-
spect, but the authorities claim that 1t
is not at all likely that either is more
than an ideal likeness of the Savior.

CATS CURE INSOMNIA.
Presence of the Animal in IL Room
Sure to Induce Sleep.
London Light.

London Light.
A discussion has recently been carried
on in the Vegetarian on the subject of
the magnetic power of the cat. One
gentleman writes:
ALLOW me, as one who often has
sleeplesS nights, and has tried every
timing you suggest, to suggest a remedy
which l have found above them all, and
which you do not notice. It is simply
to take a pet cat to sleep with one
Cats are the very best magnetizers and
hypno lists, and the safest. To obtain
the remedy it will not do to take a cat
into your bed and as soon as you have
found relief neglect her. You must be
kind to the cat before and after, and
make her your friend. She will give
you precious sleep, when all other rem
edies fail, and better than all put
together. The cat is the truest friend
of man, were man intelligent enough
to know it. Do not force your cat to
lie this way or that; let her take her
own way. Do not even force her to
come to you if she does not wish it,
but let her be in the room, outside the
bed. Sooner or later she will come in
and nurse you as no other animal can.
Even to look into the eyes or even the
face OF a cat will often produce a feel
ing of drowsiness, leading to sleep.
Cultivate the friendship of pussy, and
you will never regret it."
AS a pendant to the above, may give
the following incident which happened
to my own family, and which shows
how powerful magnetic is the cats in
fluence on its prey. One morning my
daughter (then quite a child), ON going
into the garden early, was surprised
at seeing the favorite cat crouching on
the ground, perfectly motionless, with
it's eyes fixed on a rat which main
tained the same position opposite to
her. So entirely was the latter trans
fixed by the gaze of it's enemy that it
quickly forward, and gently taking up
the rat by the neck, carried it into the
adjoining yard. 1t remained quite quiet
in her hand, but on being placed on the
ground, and a man stupidity taking
hold of it by the tail, it Immediately
turned and bit him, being by that time
aroused from its Stupor. That the an
cient Egyptian held "the harmless,
necessary cat, in great veneration may
be known from the mummied remains
of the animal preserved in the British
museum and elsewhere. They were
even in the habit of expressing their
sorrow and respect by adopting out
ward signs of mourning when the fam
lily possessing cat was deprived of its
death.

is time to go to Christ Jesus. Even
now you must prepare to go to nell
unless you repent and turn and come
to Jesus The older we grow the
stronger we should become in Christ,
the stronger in the cause, and the
better should be our life, for there
is death in the pot. The hypocrite,
the false pretender. all the devils CO.
horts, have death in their pots. How
shall our souls live? Where shall they
live? In hell? or in heaven, with God.
''Bless the Lord! Oh, bless God in
heaven" cried an old colored woman
in the audience, but she was speedily
quieted, and the preacher took no no
tice of her at all.
Now, Sinners" the sermon went on,
Il want you all to give your hearts
to God You are never too old or too
young to die, never too old or too
young to repent and be saved in the

year and a half of age. Some may say
that that is too young; that it is impos-

Throughout the sermon the attitude
of her hearers was one of rapt atten-
ton. There were few pious eXclama-
tions, for the speaker did not witting-
ly give opportunity for them. 1t would
be difficult to describe the attraction
that held the thousands hanging on her
every word. 1t could not have been
curiosity alone, for the intentness was
as eager at the close as at the begin
ming. Yet the attraction was present,
and potently so. Before she was half
way through, the crowd pressing in
from outside crowded the gallery
staircase TO such an extent that for a
moment at one time there seemed some
danger of panic, caused by the strug-
gle of two young women and a young
man to get out. Every possible space
was pre-empted. The window spaces
We're filed with standing people. and on
top of the thin partition separating the
choir loft from the gallery landing
were perched two men at the immi-
nent peril of having the fiimsy struc-
ture give way and precipitate them on
the crowd beneath. A great majority
of the audience was colored, but there
were many whites, and they seemed
as much interested as the others. At
the end Of the services the people
crowded forward to the platform, and
it was only after a struggle that the
little girl was escorted through the
crowd.

ing down the gorge. Faster and fast
er it glides; the air is filled with
snowy spume; where you stood it was
a rivulet; 1000 feet below it is a
mad torrent; the noise increases as
it gains momentum.
I. Rocks are torn loose, broken to
atoms or ground to powder, trees up
rooted and broken to pieces, logs
smashed to splinters. At half a mile
on it's path it presents a crest of
twenty to thirty feet in height and
moves faster than an express thain;
woe betide any living thing in it's
way now. Nothing made by man can
stand before it, the wind Of it's ere
alton is hurricane, a cloud Of
snow and dust follows in it's wake;
in a seething torrent is pours over
rocks and precipices, and moving
resistlessly on leaves in its track
9broken and crushed fragments of
rocks and trees. The thunder dies,
is gone; and the avalanche passed.
Down at the foot of the slope, a
mile away, mountains Of snow tossed
up in hopeless chaos, a wild tangle
Of rocks, earth, trees and logs re-
main to mark the slide, and often,
alas, too often, the bodies of brave
men caught in it's rush lie buried in
it's icy embrace.
All around you can hear, day and
night, the distant, muff1ed roar of
passing avaIanches. They come and
go at all times and at all hours; each
year new one is created. They have
claimed their blood tribute; each has
it's record of brave men done to
where; there is not a wagon road
or a mountain trail that does not
cross the path of several. On the
Kaslo-SIocan road to New Denver
there are five or six; on the Winter
road to Sandon and Cody creek, four;
all trails to the mines cross and re-
cross these moving destroyers; yet
in all the season of greatest danger
there is more traffic on these roads
and trails than on many highways
in civilization. Marvellous escapes
are an everyday matter. No one
hesitates or delays on account of
the peril to be incurred. Often, very
often, the snowslide passes a few
feet from the ore-laden pack team,
but not always with a warning. In
an instant men and animals are
overwhelmed, and tossed like straws
in the ball Of seething snow. 1t is
merciful that death is instantaneous
then.
The force of the wind created by
one of these large slides is well-nigh
incredible In the valley of the
Illecillewaet, on the line of the Cana
dian Pacific, tree tops are cut off by
the force of the wind on the oppo-
site side of the ravine through
which the avalanche descends. The
snow is pressed into the hardness
of ice, and literally tears or grinds
to powder everything in it's path.
The many deplorable fatalities that
have lately occurred in the SLOGAN
are partly due to the destruction of
timber on the wooded slopes by the
fearful fires of last summer, trees
holding up the snow and preventing
| slides. We read of many brave and
| heroic acts, but surely the patient
| courage that daily takes even
chances with death on the slopes and
in the mountains of the SLOGAN de-
| serves more than passing tribute.

THAT QUEER FEELING.
How 1t Affects One When the

London Daily News.
1 wonder how many young gentle
men-and even old ones-there are go
ing about in society who have popped
the question to young ladies whom
they meet more or less constantly, and
have been rejected. The proper OBJ
servation, 1 understand, for the lady
to make after this painful and deli
cate duty has been performed is: But
l trust We shall remain friends" The
man may shake his head and mutter:
''Friends be hanged!" but there is no
help for it.
AS they move in the same set, they
cannot avoid meeting each other, and,
of course, in friendly way. 1t is
only in a very much lower rank in
society that the rejected one swears
that no other man shall have his be-
! loved object, and buys secondhand
revolver to prevent it. But just at
first it must be very embarrassing,
and there is probably always a GER
