Understood Missionary Methods.

Yesterday was observed as mission
AIRY Sunday by one of the largest Pres
byterian churches in the city, and the
pastor preached forcibly and we'll on
the dire distress of the ignorant
heather, and the beneficent influence
of Christianity. A practical business
man, who is not a regular attendant,
was moved to place a dollar in the
collection. After the service he waited
around to speak to the pastor. When
he had secured his attention, he said:
Pastor, [ gave a dollar to the foreign
mission this morning, but I was so i'm
pressed by your description Of the
condition of the heather races that I
would really like to have them get the
benefit of that dollar" The pastor
looked up inquiringly and the man
added: Here is $40 to pay the ex-
penses of getting the one over there"

Relieving the Landlord.

An interesting outgrowth of the
olfhculty found by many tenement
house owners in collecting their rents
is a that takes such buildings
of the hands of owners with a guar
antee OF a certain annual rental, less,
OF course, than the landlord would re-
celve were all his flats occupied by
paying tenants. 1t is in effect as If
the landlord sold his property and
left the purchase money at interest on
mortgage.

Mush and Milk surprise Parties.

Mush and milk surprise parties are
popular In some eastern localities.
Ihos who make the party swoop
down upon the subject of the surprise
with a box of corn meal and a Jug of
molasses. The mush is set to boil, the
molasses is turned into taffy and
abundantly pulled, cakes are baked,
apples pared, and the mush is eaten
along with fresh milk and rich cream.
The mush and milk surprise furnishes
a maximum of fun for a minimum of
expenditure.

The U. s. Senate.

The senate chamber is in the north
ern wing of the capitola at Washington.
Like the house, it is a quare hall,
with galleries slanting back to the
hoor above. 1t has a large glass roof
and a marked lack of ornament in its
construction, but it is much smaller
than the house. and therefore its pro-
portions are better. If you have just
come over from the house and go
directly into the senate galleries the
difference you will notice most is the
quiet of the senate as compared with
the other branch Of congress,
This is due to the much smaller
membership. and also TO the smaller
size of the hall. If you reach there at
s12 o'clock. as you ought in order to get
an idea Of what a day in the senate is,
you will see, when the hour of noon IS
reached, the vice-president of the
United States, who presides Owe the
senate, enter with the chaplain. Then
comes the prayer, and then the vice.
president calls the senate to order, and
the journal OF the proceedings Of the
previous day is read. Then comes GER
tain routine business.
The communications which are sent
through the vi~ce-president are laid be-
fore the senate. Then the different
senators offer petitions and memorials,
and introduce bills and resolutions.
When these formal matters are dis
posed of. the enate under ordinary
circumstances proceeds to it's calendar.
Here arises a marked difference from
the house. The house has three calen-
dars, and hardly ever goes to any one
of them. The senate has but one
calendar, which is a list of measures
reported from committees, but it goes
to that calendar constantly, and dis
poses of matters upon it either in their
order or by senators calling up any
particular bill in which they are in
terested by general consent. In this
way the senate is enabled to transact
rapidly a great deal of small business,
and to dispose Of bills which it is not
easy to get through the crowded chan
nels of house observation-disclosures

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Only the actor who attempts the role of Hamlet realizes the full force of Solo, mons admonition that there is nothing new under the sum-" The play of Ham, let has been studied, dissected, played and speculated upon until even the sus- picion of new thought being developed in regard to it has vanished. Alexander Salvini in his interpretation of the char aeter, which will be seen here for the first time on Friday night, has not attempt ed, 1t is said, to violate in any way the concepts that have become canons. At the same time it is generally conceded that he has given the stage a strong, Virile, human Hamlet, that appeals to every student of the drama and com mands the sympathy and compassion of the play-goer. In staging the play he is said to have exercised as much studous research as he has to the elocutionary demands of the part, and the result is said to be a production that satisfies the vision as thoroughly as it does the imag- ination.
 On Saturday night MT. Salvini will once more appear In his ever popular portrayal of D Artagnan in the "Three Guardsmen." His qualifications and equipment for this line of work are we'll known. Nature has fashioned him for the hero of romance no less in his tenn perament than in his body. He looks the impulsive hero of the days of registering chivalry to the life and perhaps more than any of his contemporaries he has fire, impetuosity, buoyancy, imagination and enthusiasm. His portrayal of the fascinating D'Artagnan creates the inn pression that his work is really a pleas ure to him, that he enters into 1t with almost boyish ardor and is more often impelled by the inspiration of the mo- ment than guided by studied plans. Whatever faults may be found in him by the critical, it has been conceded even by his detractors that he has the ex- tremely rare accomplishment of being able to create a perfect illusion. It Is to this particular ability that his wonderful of romance may be largely attributed. When Salvini is on the stage the scenery ceases to appear as paint and canvas, the bombastic language of romantic times appears to be natural and proper and the sword combats and street brawlS seem so much in order that one almost forgets that law courts and juries have taken their place.

 Christmas. Written for the State Herald Christmas chimes. Christmas chimes! From all nations and all climes Swolls the anthem grand and free; Christ, the Savior's born to thee. Chimes of eighteen hundred years Burdened with weight of cares, Repeat the story of his birth 1idings of good will on earth" From the blue Judean hills, Grdled with their rippling rills, From the waves of Galilee, Comes the message unto theei Ioi a star begems the night, Strange and wondrously bright; And a host of angels bring Tidngs of the new born King. Ring, happy bells. OCT all the earth, And celebrate the Savior's birth. The advent of the Prince of Peace. When truth should reign and terror cease.  Let Christmas, with its merry cheer, Reflect the glory of the year; And happy childhood join with glee, To celebrate the jubilee.

Ring softly bells of Christmas time, And wreath with flowers the brow of time; Let earth and heaven in concert sing The glory of their Prince and King

My Christmas Gift. Written for the State Herald. This holy day. which marks the birth Of Christ. Jehovah's blessed son, A gift divine bestowed on earth That life immortal might be won Should hallowed be by humble prayer, With songs of praise and grateful love, Which listening angels ever bear As tokens pure to realms above. But only thus can man adore The holy God-child this day born; Give freely to the suffering poor And cheer the wretched and forlorn, The widow and the orphan bless, The prison bound and sick relieve, The hungry feed and wrongs redress, Let all loves tender care receive My soul cries out "Thy will be done In all the earth" as thus portrayed; But since to Thee. my precious one, A gift of all my heart was made, No other gift l offer here, Except this earnest prayer I pray, "Of thy dear life may every year Be one bright, happy Christmas day."

Rhea will appear tomorrow evening

Rhea is the empress in all ways--lov-
able, trusting, majestic, noble, self-sac-
rificing, From the pomp and grandeur
at the Tuileries till the death chamber
of Josephine is reached the scenes and
historical episodes change rapidly and
with excitement, The stirring divorce
scene is only equalled by the thrilling
message of the birth of the heir to the
imperial throne of France or the trium-
plant return of Napoleon from Elba.
The play, indeed, is full of exciting, his
torical events. The imperial pageant
~, pomp and ceremony of the Napole-
onic court are realistically reproduced.

ton, "The Merry World" direct from

The company is an exceptionally strong
one, and the Jack Woodruff of Atkins

and won the general commentator -
his audiences. Miss Bessie Leslie, Us
Annie Powers, the prosecuted sweet
heart, does some very pretty and strong
acting. The company throughout is
thorough and painstaking. The scenery
is picturesque and it seems almost in
credible that the mechanical effects
could be made so realistic. A full-sized
locomotive is introduced, with all the
auxiliaries steam, fire furnace, smoke,
bell ringing, whistle screeching, the i'm
mense driving wheels revolving, the en-
gineer at his post-the huge monster
speeding along at the rate Of fifty miles
an hour is a scene not readily forgotten.
The story of the play is pretty, and
from the rise of the curtain on the
first act until the lowering of it on
the last the audience is intensely inter
ested.
Commencing tomorrow and during
the remainder of the season, the NATL
nees at the Grand opera house will be
given on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday
and Saturday, commencing at 2 o'clock.
Prices 10 cents, 20 cents and 25 cents. s
