MONDAY PRAYER MEETING OF THE SALVATION ARNIY.

"The figures mean SO little" said
the girl, "but We talked with 1925
different people in the slums, urging
them to reform. We have visited l5,
800 saloons and places of evil resort.
Three hundred homeless persons were
provided with homes, 420S garments
were procured and given away. 1t is
SO much harder to get the clothes than
to give them away. We could use
twice as many as We get"
CARING FOR THE BABIES.
The reporter then left the young
woman to her work and visited the
creche, where the children of poor
women who have to go out by the day
to work are cared for. There are two
of these institutions connected with
the Salvation Army of this city-one
in the Cherry street district and one
down in the First Ward. The Cherry
street creche has daily attendance of
twenty-five to thirty little ones, all
under three years of age, while only
ten CON be cared for in the other.
In all, seven young women act as
nurses, and spend the day in coddling
and loving the poor little ones, whose
lives are SO empty OF love. No effort

Mutual fire insurance among farm
ers has proven wonderfully success
ful, remarks the American Agricul-
turist. The Legislatures of the Mid
die States have done much to aid this
movement by passing about all the
laws they have been asked to. The
hund.eds of farmers mutuals in New
York and Pennsylvania represent many
millions of dollars worth of property
and without exception the members
report adequate protection and a
great saving in premiums. Actual
losses and the necessary operating ex-
penses are very small. The money is
retained in the community and does
not go to fill the Golfers of those al.
-esdy rich. 1t is practical demon
strstion of cooperation which can be
practiced in other lines where farmers
are honsst and can trust themselves
and each other.

DR.. Jameson is reported to have
said in an interview chat sour Maxims
could have knocked the spots out of
them, but we had no ammunition. :"
That is going to be the trouble with
the machine guns, especially for armies
of invasion, predicts the Atlanta Con-
stitutiop. No ammunition train, no
matter how long, can carry cartridges
enough to feed these greedy corn
peppers which shoot away in min
ute as many rounds as soldier can
carry. The Maxims and Gatlings are
ali right in their place, but they will
not lessen the importance of accurate
small arm FIRE. A belesguered fortress
with big magazines might be able to
fill the air so full OF lead that no liv-
ing thing could approach, but an
army in the field wilt still find it nec-
essary to shoot to hit, and it will take
sharp oversight to keep the soldiers
from wasting too much lead even with
magazine rifle, to say nothing of a
machine gun splitting from 800 to 1000
bullets minute,

In the breeding seasons the males
assemble in numbers varying from
twelve to twenty on certain trees and
there disport themselves SO as to dis
play their feathery charms in the pres
ence of the females. The natives call
these affairs sacaleli OF dancing
parties. The birds wings are raised
vertically over the back, the head is
bent down and stretched out and the
long plumes are raised up and ex.
panded till they form two magnificent
golden fans striped with deep red at
tile base, and fading off into a pale
brown tint.
It is only at this season that the
birds can be captured. The native
bird catcher, having found tree
selected for the dancing party, con-
ceals himself among the lower branches.
as soon Us the male birds have begun
their graceful antics, he shoots them
one after the other with blunt arrows
for the purpose of stunning them and
bringing them to the ground without
drawing blood. 1t is almost impos-
sible, however, to make them survive
in captivity. They invariably die OF
broken heart after few weeks ab-
sence from the forests.

the young woman set to work. First

the young,woman set to work. First
she cent the reporter away for half an
hour. ~,
When he returned the sick woman
had been washed and dressed in clean
garments. A. bed had been made Of
the rags she had lain on, but they
were covered by clean sheets. The
woman's tangled hair had been eombed
out and braided. Water had been
E,1eatea, and the sslvatio ion Army sRo-
nan was on, her knees scrrbbing the
floor.
"We're getting cleaned up a little. !"
she called cheerily, as the reporter en-
tered the room.
"Umph!" growled the woman on
the bed.
By 10 o'clock the room had been
cleaned and swept, the woman cared
for and fed, and doctor sent for.
Then the slum worker started to go.
In all the time she had been working
the young woman had not spoken one
word of religion, or given the slight
est hint that she was more than a
neighbor who had dropped in to help
about the place. The ne;ghbors could
moi have done the work, of course, be-
cause none of them had probably ever
known the meaning of cleanliness.
"My whole day." said the girl, as
she walked down the riokety stairs,
"will be occupied in this way. 1t is
the only way to reach these poor out
casts"
Glow many such visits are paid in
q year9" was asked.
There are three slum corps In this
city. Last year we visited II, ,s54per-
sons in this way. We gave away 53lS
meals. You have seen what meal
means. We prepare everything our
selves, just as you saw me do this
morning. It is a blessed work. God
is so good to allow us to do it, for we
have helped these poor people SO much,
and our labor has been so well re-
wardedl"
"What other work has been done by
the slum CORPSE" was asked.

visibly in centre front, or the lining
can be closed in centre and the yoke
with full front arranged to close at
the left shoulder and under arm seam

stylishly over the belt of turquois blue
velvet that closes at the left side. Full
three-quarter puffs reach below the
elbow, which are stylishly arranged
over satin Innings. Waists by the mode

cloth, with just sufficient spring on
the hips in the basque to give it the tn
necessary fulness SO becoming to the
waist, which it makes much more slen'
der. The jacket is double. e.breasted,
fastened with six big pearl buttons.
The garments chief novelty lies IN the
cut of the lapels, which are much
slashed, sharply pointed and faced
with velvet in marked contrast to
darker velvet vest. The sleeves are
cut large from the shoulders to the
elbows, whence they fit closely to the
wrist. A charming accompaniment
to this coat is hat of heliotrope
felt, trimmed with heliotrope and
white asters, cream lace and heron
osprey.

A small old man rose painfully and
limped out into an aisle where every
one could see him. "Thank God l
am saved" he said slowly. ''I was a

I am saved. I drank for twenty years;
now, praise Jesus, I'll never drink

For an hour this goes on. Young
and old rise and tell of their saliva

The n hush comes over the crowd,
while their leader, leaning well for
ward over them oil, begins to talk.
He speaks very slow at first, and with
some hesitation. Then he grows more
eloquent and earnest, and suddenly in
the middle of sentence he stops, and.
turning to Mrs. Booth, draws her to
his side. She speaks for a few min
utes on the same topic chosen by her
husband-"L "Love and Law" 1t is easy

NEW BIRD OF PARADISE.
Magnificent Plumage of Specimen
Brought From New Guinea.


A new bird Of paradise has been dis.
,coysred, says the New York Journal.
Only two specimens are in captivity.
Oneis in the Royal Geological Museum
OF Dresden, and the other is afforded
conspicuous place in the Museum OF
Natural History in Paris.
This remarkable bird is rara avis
par excellence. Strange to say, al
though its range is limited to New
Gninea and the adjacent Papua ISL
ands, the Paradiscidae occur in in
finite variety. Ornithologists have
been dumfounded by the distinction
In plumage and co!ors of the numer-
ous specimens that have been brought
from that far away region during this
century. ~
Both sexes of these birds of para
diseare distinguished by the enormous
Development OF certain parts of their
plumage, but the mates are favored
with an exceedingly beautiful varie-
gated covering. They are about the
size. Of the common jay. Their heads
and necks are covered with short,
thick feathers, resembling velvet, of
"a bright straw color above and a
bsilliant emerald green beneath.
From under the shoulders on each
side springs dense tuft of golden
orange plumes, about two feet in
length, which the bird can raise at
pleasure, SO as to inclose the greater
part of its body. The two centre tail
feathers attain length of thirty-four
.inches, and being destitute OF webs,
have thin, wire-like appearance.
1.-The females are of q dusky brown
ccior and possess neither plumes nor
Heightened tail feathers.

looked upon present headgear as all
that was conservatorial will open their
eyes pretty wide when they see the
perfect flower-beds that will blossom
forth upon the heads of femininity.
Roses by the bushel, violets by thou.
sands and poppies by pounds will en-.
nance the beauty and increase the cost
of the great millinery epoch of the
year. TulIe promises to be another
feature Of hat.trimming. A rnche OF
this in blue or green appears to smart
advantage upon small toque with q
low pointed crown androsettes OF the
same tulle on either side, the whole
being trimmed entirely with ivy and
turquoise, O marked combination OF
colors. On many of the hats appear
bows of black lace with a white ap-
plique design, while large white aig-
rettes are conspicuous in all millinery.
There is decided tendency to strings,
tulle being used most, although vide
ribbon Is also frequently employed.

BEARS OIL.
An Old Remedy suppIanted Patent
Medicines

An Old Remedy SupnIanfed Patent
Medicines
Several letters have been written to
The Sun recently inquiring about
bears oil or bears grease, at one time
standard household remedy In cases
Of aches, pains, or bruises of any Kind.
Nowadays, bears oil, tie ordinary rem
dered fat of the bear, has been sup
planted by the many patent llniments
on the market. Its use in cities is
almost obsolete, and apo.hecaries have
ifor the past Ten or twelve years ceased
/ to carry it IN stock, as tle call Tor the
article has so diminished as to render
It's immediate sale extremely doubtful,
and the genuine bears oil or grease
soon becomes rancid, in spite Of all ef-
forts 10 prevent it, owing to the large
amount Of albuminous matter it con-
tains.
The reputation Of the article which
fulfilled the purpose Of both unguent
and liniment, according to the temper
ature at which it was used, was great
among the Indians. The athletic
members of the tribe, before partici-
pating in games, anointed themselves
with the oil, rubbing it well into the
Joints, and believed that it rendered
them more 1.-THE and agile. The In
dian wrestlers were especially devoted
to its use, and one Of the chief Gle
ments of their training consisted in
being we'll rubbed with the unctuous
matter for week or twospreceding
the match. 1t was also used to heal
bruises and to reduce the infamma-
ton caused by the bites and stings OF
insects. The early settlers had as high
an opinion Of it as the Indians, and Few
were the bears killed by them from
which the fat which lay directly be-
tween the flesh and the hide was not
extracted. Nearly all the older MEM
bers Of the present generation will re-
member the stubby round bottles upon
which was printed the picture OF
bear, and winch were resorted to after
little accidents. The increasing scare
ity of bears gradually forced the phar-
macists to substitute other matter for
the real bears oil, which became very.
expensive, and under the label of the
bear many limitations of the genuine
articles were sold. The United States
Dispensatory, edition Of 1864, makes
note Of this. 1t says:
castor oil is much employed in the
preparation of an article which is eS-
tensiyely sold throughout the country
for bears oil. 1t is composed of four
fluid ounces Of castor oil mixed with
two fluid drahms Of an aqueous solu-
ton Of salts of tartar carbonate OF
potassa), and scented with berSa-
mot or other aromatic oil"
Patent medicines also ingratiated
themselves into the confidence Of the
public, and the call for bears oil in
cities gradually fell off, until the drug
gists dropped the article in its crude
form altogether.
Several pomades and preparations
for the hair are still sold. Even these,
although they command a high price,
are generally composed principally Of
other than the genuine bears grease.

Professor Becker, of the United
