Carnot and AIsace-Lorraine.

At o dinner recently sat beside an EN-
inent Frenchman who graduated at the
Polytechnic with NJ. Carnot. The severe
discipline-a military discipline-and the
fearful mathematical grind there weld the
pupils into close brotherhood. They are
out of touch with every one else. Carnot
was generally amiable, but only expanded
with Polytechnicians. My neighbor and l
were speaking of his sense of public duty
and his deep feeling of patriotism. 1t was,
said the former, very sincere, and he gave
the following as an instance: 81 went one
forenoon early in 1892 to dejeuner with
him as an old Polytechnic chum. He was
pacing up and down his morning room,
and was in state of glee that reminded
me of the Carnot of the Polytechnic when
he had solved some all but insoluble prob
lem in mathematics.
II said to him: You are in a state of
visible contentment. Can share in it?'
Ca va bien; ca va bien,' he went on re-
peating. He kept rubbing his hands and
was so overjoyed at something that | said
to myself, 1t would be shabby now tc

sheer joy to grant the favor. May
ask, ventured to say, what goes on sc
well?' Ca va bien; ca va bien, mon ami.

HATS OFF IN CHURCH.
q Chicago Pastor Serves Notice on ths
Women of His Congregation.

Women of His Congregation.
The women of Unity church, Oak Park,
will take of their bonnets and hats and
sit unbonneted and unhatted during the
Sunday morning and evening services con-
Quoted by their pastor, the Rev. r. F.
Johonnot, who says he "cannot see why
the children Of darkness should always be
wiser than the children of light" In
fact, he does not propose to let the theater
become more advanced than the church.
So few weeks ago he intimated to his
congregation his wishes in the matter and
requested the women of Unity church to
be leaders in the new movement.
Naturally the step caused something
more than a ripple Of surprise. Not q
little Indignation was expressed. There
were some who said Pastor Johonnot was
growing autocratic when he attempted to
dictate in matters of dress. 1t hardly
seemed decorous to SIT unbonneted in
church; besides, there were other questions
involved. What was to become Of the
church millinery? "How does my hair
lookf'' would be the query now, instead
of the old familiar Is my hat on straight"
1t certainly gives the congregation a
home look as they sit all with uncovered
heads, but somehow it is not satisfying.
The attractive and diverting spectacle OF
we'll trimmed hats and bonnets, resem.
bling as they do q garden of flowers, is
like the withdrawal of the stained glass
windows or an effective part of the serv,

The Rev. R. F. Johonnot, pastor Of
Unity church, believes that the church Of
the future win have a dressing room where
ladies can leave their hats and wraps and
a checkroom for overcolts and umbrellas
He is very much In earnest In his new
crusade against the monopoly Of fashion.
ST have no personal interest in the mat
ter" he said, Except TO give more home

1t win, if carried out, make the congrega-
ton look as II its ladies had come to stay
and were not merely visitors. Then con-
slider the courtesy of such movement. It
will be carrying out the golden rule.
Why, l went to church in the city not long
ago where four young ladies came In and
occupied the pew in front Of me. Each
one wore flower garden on her head, and
did not get even glimpse of the preach
er. You see, our churches have not raised
seats like the theater, yet the theater set
the first example and compelled ladies to
take off their hats.
NOW, do not ask my people in COM
pulsory spirit to remove their hats.
suggest it as a matter of courtesy, first to
the church, next to me as their pastor. As
| I said in public, have two reasons-one
| and the main one Is that other people may
enjoy the privileges of the sanctuary, the
other that the assembled worshipers may
look more homelike.
"The women have accepted the edict in
very friendly spirit of acquiescence. The
leaven is working well, and must express
my gratitude to the young women of the
choir, who led the way. OF course there
are some who will never change custom
until it becomes fashion. AS soon as IT
is fashionable to sit in church without a
bonnet all the ladies will adopt the idea. |"
perhaps they have wholesale fear Of
st. Paul, who said that the women should
remain covered in church,"
"St Paul is out of date with such ira
ditions as those in the present age of the
world. intend to leave tie matter en-
tirely to the good sense and courtesy o.

Curse Cards.

Curse cards are novelty which have
lately been introduced into Prussia, Sax
ony and Alsace, though they originated IN
Calvin's land. The manner in which the
propagandist employs the curse cards is
said to be as follows: He or she starts in
the early morning by filling his or her
pockets with the form in blank. When in
omnibus, tram or train, bad language is
heard; then the user of the profane words
is invited to fill in the blank forms, and
he binds himself for certain time to alb
stain from "swear words or to do pen
ance in pfennings for indulgence in the
same In Switzerland $500 of these
cards have been distributed, and, as the
prospectus gravely remarks, "In country
where three great European languages are
spoken the system will have Invaluable
results in enabling the religious statisti'
clan to estimate the prevalence OF violent
language among the nations of western
Europe" The benefits of the curse cards
have yet to be proved.
