the numerous ticket agencies throughout the
city cost more tnan II purchased at the door
as Won enter the theatre at night. Nine Sarah
Bernhard has had the courage TO do away with
this short-sght4d custom, and her new theatre.
lie Theatre Sarah Bernhard, IS the only play
house in Paris where seats booked In advance
are charged the same price when paid Tor at
the entrance Nine Sarah Bernhard has also
adopted new scale Of prices at her theatre
which range from So % francs) the price OF
single seat in a proscenium box. and 81 QO
frances. the cost Of a seat in box, an orchestra
stall or balcony, down TO 20 cents zone franc,
the price Of n seat in the amphithoatre.
The great abuse that the theatre going public
In France has to put up with Is the ring OF
piratical ticket agents, who buy up nearly all
the good seats whenever there is a popular
piece running. like "Cyrano de Bergerac' or La
Dame de Chez Maxim" and at once double or
quadruple the prices, owing to their successful
corner which in consequence OF vested inter
ests Of various sorts. the law is powerless to
prevent. These ucket-mongers lie in ambush
near all the leading theatres. and are frequently
in league with the "buralistes" or women who,
from time beyond memory, have sold places at
the regular ticket Offices Of the theatres.

her new theatre which was to be opened on the
following Saturday with revival OF La
Tosca" The play being rehearsed and
Nine Bernhard, according to her custom on
such OCCASIONS was dining in her loge. Just as
coffee was served NJ. Sardou put in an appear
ance. The conversation turned upon the I'm
provements that might be adopted by Paris
theatre managers in regard to the conveniences
Of the public. Nine. Bernhardt said: There Is
no doubt about II, the theatres OF New-York
are infinitely more comfortable and better man
aged. as far as ushers. attendants and ticket Of
fees are concerned, than is the case In Paris
Take the ushers, for instance; in Paris the
'ouvreuses' now called 'placeuses.' receive usu-
ally no pay whatever from the theatre, but de-
pend solely for their remuneration on tips
given by the public have abolished this prac-
tice and the forty-four 'paceuses at the
Theatre Sarah Bernhard all receive regular
wages and are forbidden to demand gratuities
I have also abolished the hideous drop-curtain
covered with advertisements which | consider
as a public nuisance. Nothing is to my mind
more repulsiye to the spectator than between
the acts OF good play to be confronted with
the claims OF bilious pills cough drops or cook
ing stoves The old-fashioned drop-curtains

The promise of the gospel, he said, is
not so much ETERNAL life as eternal
LIFE. When mere man would en-
rich the life of the world he must do
it by removing obstacles and giving
freer vent and greater effectiveness to
the lie ALREADY IN men. But Jesus
Christ actually and literally gives men
new and more abundant life. When
he became incarnate new life force
came into the world. Men are touch
ed and invested with the life of the
Son of God himself, and each is made
member Of the Mystical Body of
Christ, bound to each other and to the
head like the particles of any other
organism not by mechanical contri-
vance, but by 1.-THE power of an end
less life, y stronger than bands OF
iron and hooks of steel.
And this is not only what gives us
.'the more abundant lifen here, but
the assurance OF a still more abundant
life beyond che grave. Alive with
His life | am just as sure of eternal
life as He is. When He rose from
the dead it was not simply the resur-
rection of one man, nor simply the
triumph of the Son of God, but the
resurrection Of the Organic Head of
Humanity, guaranteeing thereby the
resurrection in due time of all the
other members. My faith in the
future is not hope of eternal life to
be given, but consciousness of eter-
nal life to be given, but conscious
ness of eternal life already possessed.
/ shall not live again, / shall live on,
without a break. And we shall find
our more abundant life expanding be-
yond the grave into something i'm
mensely beyond even our utmost guess,
our present powers Immensely devel-
oped, Others showing themselves which
we had never guessed we possessed.
The joy Of the world beyond as of this
is above all things else life ''more
abundant" LIFE.
NJ. P. CHURCH.
The services at the M. p. church
yesterday were interesting and impress
sive.
A large number of communicates
received the sacrament Of the Lords
supper, and one adult and two chill
dren received the sacrament OF bap-
tism at the morning services.
One lady was received into the fell
lowship of the church at the morning
service, and one young man was re-
ceived at the evening service. Large
audiences were present at both SER
vices.
BAPTIST CHURCH.
The services at the Baptist church
were very fine. In the morning the
subject was the Resurrection OF
Christ. The Historic Fact and the
Prophetic Significance The pastor
took up the matter as fact for his
tory to record. He entered into the
authenticity and the many circum-
stances surrounding it, After this
discussion he took up the Significance
of the act forecasting as it does the
resurrection of us all. In the evening
DR.. Reynolds preached from the text
"SOn, Give me thine heart He
showed that religion was the giving
of the whole heart and preached a
sermon full of fire and fervor. The
congregation was greatly moved by
this appeal. The rite of baptism was
administered to Miss Maud Gilmore
and Walter Holland after the evening
service,

Humiliating a Rival.

It Is not mooted question in Per-
STA whether women dress for the eyes
Of men or those of women, as there on
ly women see women, at parties. In
her book, Through Persia on a Side
Saddle" Miss Sykes, writing Of the
women Of Teheran, the capital Of Per-
STA, confesses that even Mohammedan
isolation does not prevent women from
being envious of other women if they
are dressed better than themselves.
She writes: Il was told that many of
the fine ladies would give large sums
In the European shops of Teheran for
any brocade of silk which struck their
fancy, and would wear it at the next
party to which they invited their
friends, Haunting the new toilette os-
tentatiously before them to fire their
jealousy. Usually, however, one of
the guests would pay her hostess out
by buying some more of the same ma
terial and having it made up for one of
her slave women. She then would in
wife large company to tea, and the
cups would be handed round by a ne
gress adorned in the rich silks with
which the former hostess is arrayed.
Later on the slave would dance before
the guests. The great lady, who has
been invited to be mortified, would be
both disappointed and Inundated. The
lady who had given the party would
be pleased at vexing her rival.
