A Painful Discovery,

said the suburbanite. II had left the
station some distance behind me and
was on my way up the road toward
home. I had got comfortably cool by
that time, and the charming influence
of the starlit night possessed me and
made me feel at peace with all the
world. Nor did the fact that and my
new suit had made a hit with the
friends l had been visiting detract from
the fullness Of my self satisfaction.
"All went well until I came to a
street crossing my road. At the corner
was a street lamp. which from some
cause was not Lit, and from this lamp

MISSIONARY WORK IN THE SOUTH.

Miss Ella Knapp, Of Elm street, left
for Birmingham, Ala, last Thursday
morning. For ten years Miss Knapp
and her associate, Miss Boorman have
been doing special missionary work
among the colored women and chill
dren of that city.
Birmingham is called the Pittsburg
OF the South. situated as it is in the
mid u OF rich coal and iron mines, and
carrying on immense manufacturing
interests. One-sixth OF the charcoal
furnances Of the United States are sit
uated here, and these with its one
hundred coke ovens, give to the city a
strcnge appearance, especially at night.
The reflection from the huge fires lights
up the whole city, giving to it the ap-
pearance OF a city on fire.
After being in Birmingham a short
time, Miss Knapp was invited by
southern lady to attend missionary
meeting held in one of the fine churches
of the city. In the course OF the meet
ing the president remarked that she
knew very little aboui the colored peo-
pie and did not care to know more.
The lady by whose invitation Miss
Knapp had come, at once arose and
said that there was present with them
that afternoon missionary from the
North who had come to work among
the colored people Of their city. The
president then turned to Miss Knapp
and after asking "a few questions, in
vited her to give some account OF her
work. At the close OF the meeting she
WIS cordially greeted and urged to be-
com g q member OF their society. Since
then she has "kept up" "watch-care
membership" in the society, maintain
ing her friendly relations with it and
irving to bridge over in some degree,
the distance between the two peoples.
Work in the mines calls here large
floating population and there is abund-
ant field for missionary effort.
The cabins Of the colored people are

built upon alleys running between the
main streets. Among these cabins ard
along the alley-way the missionary
pas es with her bible papers for distri-
button, picture scrolls, etc.
One afternoon she came upon a
group of children playing in vacant
lot, and after the usual distribution Of
papers, invited them to enter cabin
for u religious meeting. At the begin
ming of the MEETING they were taught
song, and falling in love with the
melody they followed her from cabin
to cabin--a dusky escOrt-acting the
part OF II choir Mt each service.
As perfect freedom is given in form
ing plans, the work has branched out
in number of directions. Twenty
five missionary societies have been
organized in as many churches; also
many mission bands and Christian En-
deavor societies. Six industrial schools
have been established, one in connect
ion with public school. The Others
are held in churches, the children com
ing after school hours for instruction
in the bible and sewing lessons. The
sewing lessons begin with patchwork
and are continued until garments ran
be made. The children are taught
that patches and clean garments are
honorable; ragged and dirty clothing
dishonorable.
Showing the quickness with which
an impression is received, one little
girl with hole in her elbow, refused
to come to school. In another home,
the mother had learned to ask bless
ing upon the food. In her absence
this was omitted. The baby OF the
family, after waiting a few moments
and hearing no word of blessing, drop
ped her head upon the table and said
her own, OF two words, "0ur Fader,
Our Fader," A wee, black mite, but
still able to claim kinship with the
Father.

A comparison of expenditures under
the head of war for a series of fiscal
years with those of the first three
quarters of the current fiscal year is
both pertinent and interesting, says the
New York Tribune, because it brings
cut IN strong relief the difference be-
tween the cost of the military estab-
lishmeut in time of peace and when
the country is at war with foreign
foe. Here is such a comparison COW

drst three-quarters of the current year:

dramatic to the archaic NO-plays, pri-
vately enacted before a select audi

belong almost exclusively to the mid
die and lower classes, but these flock
in such numbers to the playhouse that
the best players draw very large SAL
aries. Last spring, after a season of
four weeks at Osaka, Mr.. Danjuro's
share of the receipts amounted to So

in a year would tempt any "star" from
our own theatrical armament, but it
should be added that, in conformity
with a generous etiquette, as much as
$4,000 ($10,000) of the Osaka windfall
was expended in presents to friends
and friendly tea houses. Devoted to
his own drama, Mr.. Danjuro does not

Lieut. Hourst, of the French army,
has published lively personal MARIA

Africa. With four white companions
he pluckily sailed down the Niger river
in an aluminium sailing boat Of about
seven feet beam, managing to carry
her and her smaller consorts, manned
by friendly natives. the whole distance
from Timbuctoo, past Say and Bussa,
to the sea, without serious accident
the most amusing parts of his book
are devoted to descriptions of the
Negridan ladies, whom he studied
along the river banks. He was not
captivated by their beauty. Indeed,
he compares them to Durham oxen,
or negresses, who, like Englishw ON

one day brought to the lieutenant's
boat. While it was being translated
NJ. Hourst covertly watched the am
bassador. After delivering his mes
sage he had prudently sought refuge
behind a piece of rock, but finding
that no notice was taken of him, he
peeped out, first with one eye, then
with both eyes, and finally ventured
into the open with the plaintive in
terrogatory: rs there any hope of
