A Sailor at "a Prayer Meeting.
" Dr. CuYl,,r I'm the EVANGELIST

Some of JACKS talks in prayer meetings
are rather more perspicuous than polished
One of Father Taylor's converts, in the
ardor of his zeal, exclaimed, 'If any man
in this meeting says I don't love the Lord
Jesus Christ I'll hit him between the eyesr'
Father Taylor himself often set his "boys"
the example of free speech in their devo-
tional meetings. When a prosy old brother
named Snow was making a long, frigid
that snow!" He was in the habit of march
ing up and down his long platform-pulpit,
ca1essing his Bible, and patting it like a
child. He once burst out with awful We
hemence. "Voltaire said he would destroy
this blessed Book! Destroy it, would he?
Before he could rub the gliding off it's edges
he would have been in hell so long that he
would have forgot when he came therer'
Yet with his occasional coarseness, Father
Taylor was one of the most poetic, unique
and powerful Of our pulpit orators.

LOST HIS TICKET.
Plight of Passenger Who Came Over
From England.

From the New York Times.
There was one man on the steamship
Southampton recently arrived in New York
who paid well for his passage. When it
came time to present his ticket to the stew
ard it was not to be found. For four days
he looked for it. Pockets were turned in
side out, trunks turned upside down. bat
bands torn out and a state room converted
into a wilderness of pillows, bed clothes
ard clothing.
The unfortunate passenger asked every
man, woman and child on the ship: Have
you seen ticket number LOOP" Notices
were posted on the bulletin BOARD. The
next day the passenger lost his identity
Everybody called him '1,60i.'' From that
time he was known by his ticket number
"Have you seea Mr. 1.60f today" some
ore would ask. Then dozen voices would
ask:
Which 1901 the man or the ticketo"
After the big dinner Thanksgiving Gay
Mr. 1907 gave up the struggle AMI paid
1925 for his passage. This is the way he
figured it up:
Il have examined the first and second
cabin. passengers and 1 know everything
they possess. When 1 state that the New
York customs authorities won't get within
few thousands of what is due them, l
give expert testimony.
The steecage had 800 persons in it. 1t
would take me at least three days TO eX-
amino them, and that would bring me into
Sunday, and as We are due Saturday, l
guess I'll give it up.
When '1,601" left the pier yesterday he
was better known than the purser.
Mortality Of Physicians.
From the Medical Record.
DR.. Cortrght, in the Brooklyn Medical
Journal, has written a paper on the Nor
tslty and Causes of Death in Medical
Men" This paper is based on the records
of $50 physicians who died in New York
and Brooklyn during the past eight years
The average age of death was $40 years,
and the mortality was about 2:,23 as COM
pared with mortality of 1898 in clergy
men and 2O23 in lawyers. There is a con-
siderable mortality from the self-adminis-
tration of drugs; that from consumption is
about half the general rate. while that
from typhoid fever is very high. There is
a high death rate due to arterial sclerosis
and other degenerative changes.
The practical conclusion deducted from
DIR. Cortright's statistics, says the Medical
Journal, is that doctors should take at least
three weeks complete rest and change
yearly, should he extremely moderate in
the use of stimulants, should be regular in
their meals, never worry, and never hurry.
This is the kind of advice that doctors
give, but do not take. The further sugges-
ton, however. that they all Join some
medical sickness and life assurance society,
is a wise one.

Dramatist and Actress.
Speaking or Sardou and Befnhardt.
the following story concerning the great
French actress and the equally renowned
playwright is vonched for by the corre-
spondent Of TheC ourrief DIES Ntats- unis:
The two who have achieved the great
est triumph in "Gismonda, M. Vic
torien Sardou and Mime. Sarah Bern
hardt, were at swords points in the be-
ginning. This dislike dated from Dan
lei Rochet, which Sardou gave to the
Comedie Francaise after his nomination
to the French academy. Sarah Bern-
hardt expected that Sardou would select
her to create the role OF heroine in the
play, but he chose Mile. Bertet instead;
hence tho anger OF Mime. Bernhardt.
When the actress and the author met,
the former passed on the other side; the
latter pulled his hat dow9 over his
eyes. Each murmured something not at
all complimentary to the other.
Then Sarah Bernhardt left the Come
die Franchise, went to America, where
she made her first triumphal tour, and
returned to France. Upon her arrival
in Paris she entered into negotiations
with Raymond Deslande, manager Of
the Vaudeville. She asked nothing bet
ter than to play there. But what should
she play2 She did not wish to return to
classical roles. She wanted an entirely
new play, which should bring out all
her qualities.
''There is only one man who can
write the play you want, !, said Des-
lande. THAT man is Sardou.o@
"Sardoul'' cried the actress. ''Such a
disposition, incapable Of doing justice
