General Zurlinden is a distinguished
officer in command of the Fifteenth
Army Corps, and is 81 years of age. At
the outbreak of the Franco-German
war he was a Captain of Artillery, be-
came Lieutenant Colonel in 1871 and
a General of division in 1890. In 1898
the General became Minister of War
and was the chief hand which planned
the military expedition to Madagascar,
which resulted in making that island
practically a French colony. Nine
months later he resigned. A short time
ago he was made Military Governor of

She Changed the Conversation.

During the summer of 1886 a hand
some New England woman paid visit
to one of the North Side society queens
of Wichita. In due time a swell lawn
party was given by the hostess at her
home, to make her visitor acquainted
with her Western friends. Among those
invited was the genial and witty "Will''
Beatty. He was in from his trip off the
road, and, donning his best attire, was
soon at the party. He was presented
to the visitor, and it happened to be
his good fortune a little later in the
evening to have her on his arm prone
nading over the velvety lawn. In the
course of the conversation Miss Blank
asked Mr.. Beatty what business he fol-
lowed.
I'm commercial traveller"
The visitor, possibly in moment Of
mental alteration, made this remark:
In the East commercial travellers do
not go in the best society,"
Before the last word had hardly left
her lips Mr.. Beatty replied, ''They don't
here, eitheri"
Conversation was carried on after
that in entirely different channels.-

over and over again by women who
have bought some stylish or handsome
textile when it first appeared, and
later on, wishing to match these same
goods, have been unable to do so. NO
duplicates are imported in a single sea-
son or year. 1t is therefore a very good
rule to make a purchase of an entirely
satisfying pattern or weave when one
finds it, be it early or late; to hesitate
and decide to wait is generally to lose
the fabric desired or admired, espe-
| cially in a city where tons of material
are sold in a single day.
The new purple or plum-red tailor
cloths, velvets, satin brocades, and

| and cheviots, both smooth and shaggy,
| and of almost every conceivable color,

For utility costumes these materials
are in as great demand as ever, and

| natty in effect, useful and stylish in
pattern, and have the additional ad-
vantage of requiring but little trim

the things in which they are one; and
it is promise of closer fellowship in
the future. This is a vastly more i'm
portant matter than the consideration
of discipline, which at the same time
is not all affected. Our business, as
Christians, is to bring the people to-
gether, not to keep them apart; and a
rule which forbids a member of one
denomination to join any other comes
very near being unchristian, in being
exclusive. AT any rate it makes that
the chief consideration which should
be the last"
There are few realms of human ex-
perience in which there is a greater
necessity for freshness. individuality
and originality than in Christian liv-
ing" says the "Watchman" BaptisD
of Boston. 1T is absurd to allow the
world to prescribe the Christian stand
ards of conduct, and for churches or
cliques of Christians to do so is to come
perilously near usurping the rights Of
individuals. We are not to be imita-
tors, even of Christ HIMSELF we are
to be His disciples, and the mere juX-
Imposition of the two terms suggests
the broad difference between them. In
other words, the individual Christian is
not called to follow program set by
any master or church. but to yield to a
spirit, to cultivate a disposition. When
the apostle is defining the example Of
Christ, he does not say do the things
that Christ did, but Let this mind be
in you also which was in Christ Jesus.
Conventional ways of Christian living
have largely lost their power. The 'teS-
timony bearing of the average prayer
meeting, for example, except in the
rarest instances, is no longer efficient.
But let one do simple act in daily
life that he could hardly have done
without being prompted by a Christian
spirit, and how instantly it arrests at
tention, how impressive it is! 1t is not

are likely to encounter in Porto Rico is
the rains which fall in torrents all
through the summer season, forming ex-

latter are not generally very serious or
