CbicaGo'S Poet Preacher.

DR.. Frank W. Gunsaulus, pastor OF
Central church and former president
OF Armour institute, Chicago, is very
likely to become president of that great
Methodist institution. the Northwest
ern university. DIR. Gunsaulus is with
out doubt one of the most gifted, ver-
satile and resourceful preachers in the
American pulpit today, says the Meth
odist Magazine. DIR. Gunsaulus is
native of Ohio and of Spanish ancestry.
He is about 40 years old. Deciding
upon entering the ministry. he chose
the Ohio Wesleyan university, from
which he graduated with high honors.
He became Methodist itinerant and
had remarkable success with the class
known as habitual none-churchgo-
ers. 1t was through his agency that
the great Armour institute was estab-
lished. More than 1000 young men
and women receive instruction in this
splendid Institution every year. the de-
sign of which is to help toward the
solution of the social problem; to level
up and to level down; to assist in
rubbing out the lines between the
wealthy classes and the laboring

Mail When that paper consolidated
with the Post he became managing edi-
tor. Then he went to Washington as
correspondent and later came back
into his old position. He was not sat
isfied, however, and Dec. %, 1875. he
published the first number of the Daily
News. The story of his success with
that paper is unnecessary to relate.
Victor F. Lawson joined Mr.. Stone
early in the enterprise and they Sc
cured the Associated Press franchise
when the Post and Mail suspended pub
lication. In 1881 the Morning News
was begun and this became in a few
years the Record.
The partnership between Mr.. Stone
and Mr.. Lawson expired by Limitation
in 1888 and a stock company was
formed In 1883 Mr.. Stone retired from
the paper with fortune. After two
years in Europe he assisted in the or
ganization of the Globe National bank
of which he became president. In
March, 1893, he was offered and ac-
cepted the position of general man
ager of the Associated Press. with
headquarters in Chicago. Early in the
present year a reorganization of the
association took place and the incor-
poration required that the headquar-
ters should be in New York City.

Volunteers' Great Work.

The Volunteers are doing a great
work among prisoners and especially
those discharged from penitentiaries.
There are about $4,000 prisoners in
the state penitentiaries of the Union.
whose average term of service cannot
be over three or four years. This
throws back upon the community from
10000 to $4,000 hopeless criminals
yearly, men whose prison experience
has seldom softened them and whose
public record has put them outside the
pale of hope. Two Hope Halls are
now in operation one in New York and
one in Chicago. the former having
been opened four years since and the
latter only two. Between 5000 and
5000 men have been received. shell
tered and encouraged to begin life
anew by means of these institutions.
Seventy-five per cent of those thus De-
friended have done well after obtain
ing employment.

that, in spite of its size and long term
because the first lord of the admiralty
was old and tired and wanted to spend
his declining days doing in the house
of lords
1t is true that sometimes cabinet Sc
crets have leaked. The Times antici-
pated a most important cabinet an
nouncement in Peel's time. when
young member of the government con-
fessed that his secret had been cajoled
from him by beautiful woman, who
had sold the story to the newspaper.
He offered to resign, but was forgiven.
The doings of the cabinet of 1SS0-1SS5
were chronicled with an accuracy that
evidently was much more than guess
work. Two members of that ministry
frequently got themselves raped over
the knuckles for their habit of "giv-
ing up" when tactfully pumped.
Roughly speaking, the queen has not
much to do with the cabinet. Up to
the time of the second George the SOW
ereign used invariably to attend cabi.
net councils, and in one of the cabi-
nets old meeting places-at No. IL
Downing street.-the old throne that
the monarch occupied is still to be
seen. George H., however, understood
so little English that, having sat con-
fused through two or three cabinet
meetings, he asked that thereafter a
report of what had been done be sent
to him instead, and this custom has
continued ever since. Oddly enough,
this report is the only one that is kept
of this body's deliberations, cabinet
etiquet forbidding the taking of even
private notes by ministers. The Of
ticial reports are sent to her majesty,
wherever she may be in tightly locked
and carefully guarded dispatch boxes
and delivered into her own hands.
The queen has never appeared in
public with any premier since Sir Rob
ert Peel was pelted while seated with
her in the royal carriage. She, OF
course, occasionally holds what are
officially termed meetings of the privy
council" at her various palaces, but
they are on matters of pure formality,
and the attendance of the learned min
listers rarely exceeds two. When re-
not to bring their Wallets, but are at
tended by servants of the queen, as
her majesty infinitely prefers that the
inner life of her court should be fami-
liar to as few persons as possible
There is legend that before this rule
was made ministers occasionally took
writers to court with them ostensibly
as their Wallets. and that afterward
rather startling disclosures were made.

and the Biblical glass of cold water.
Naturally the moods of the body vary
with different occasions from grave to
gay and from lively to severe. 1t is
matter of legend that Lord Aberdeen's
cabinet was doing while the dis
patches that led to the war of the Cri-
mea were read, and that while the
cabinet of 1872 was awaiting the deci-
sion of the Geneva arbitration board
on the American claim for damages a

The "Thirteen" superstition.

The superstition that thirteen Is an
unlucky number dates back to the last
supper of our Lord. when he sat at
table with his twelve disciples and Ju-
das betrayed him. There is a story
told of soldier who was condemned
to death because he failed to be at his
post OF duty at critical time. He
avowed that he was there and heard
the clock of st. Paul's strike thirteen.
and this was proved by others who
heard 1t to be true; consequently, to
one person at least in the world the
number thirteen proved to be a lucky
one.-St. Louis Globe e-Democrat.

"The preponderance of lawyers
among the generals of the Confederate
army is very noticeable to the careful
reader of history" said Mr.. T. d.
Hopeton, of Atlanta. "Of those who
rose to the rank of acknowledgement
were Simon b. Buckner of Kentucky;

THE LARGEST CAKE.
Frederick William 1 RegaIed His Army
with 1t.


Last Christmas, in one part of Lon
don, there was on view an enormous
cake that lowered almost to the ceiling
of the confectioner's shop. 1t was
made to represent a fortress. and
weighed more than 1000 pounds. In
its composition had been used 600
pounds of -four. 400 pounds of butter.
400 pounds of sugar, 500 pounds of
icing sugar, 900 pounds of currants,
$50 pounds of sultanas. 300 pounds of
and 5000 eggs. Gigantic. however. as
was this cake. it cannot be compared
with that which in June, 1870, Fred
erick William l. regaled his army. Af-
ter huge repast of beef, wine and
beer had been partaken of, the guests.
to the number of 10000, saw approach
ing an immense car drawn by eight
horses, on which reposed a monster
cake, eighteen yards long, eight yards
broad and one-half yard thick. 1t
contained, among other ingredients,
thirty-six bushels of flour, 200 gallons
of milk, one ton of butter, one ton of
yeast and 5000 eggs. The soldiers.
who had already eaten a hearty meal,
were able to devour only portion of
this extraordinary cake. so to their aid
were summoned the people from the
towns and villages in the neighbor-
hood, among whom it was distributed
till not a morsel remained.

Writer Speaks OF Strain OF women's
COrsets.

Writer speaks OF strain OF Women'o
Corsets
Every one knows that portly wo-
man who wears tight old-fashioned
corsets always bends her spinal col
umn in at the waist and at the should
ers, that she tips her chin up and
crooks her neck, and so gets a lump
On the back of it. All this is because
inside the tightened belt or the corset
steels, so that she is unable to hold
her chest up In the proper place. Any
one without strong abdominal muscles
can prove the truth of this for herself
by trying an experiment when un-
dressed. Put a tight belt round the
waist so that 1t presses on the upper
part OF the abdomen. One wants to
bend over to relieve the strain. Put
bandage or something that lifts the
abdomen from below. and see how in
stinctively one straightens the should
ers and throws out the chest. The
spinal column is then erect. Doctors.
teachers of physical culture, and In
structors in hygiene have all attacked
the corset. thinking It to blame for
certain bad results Some persons
have abandoned corsets altogether. but
no one who has grown stout without
them has been able to hold the weight
OF the abdomen and keep the body in
proper posltion-at least no one who
attempted TO wear the modern dress
The value of the straight-front cor
set. corset which has been evolved
through many mistakes. and out OF
many endeavors. lies in the fact that
the abdomen Is supported and all the
body above the waist line IL left free
and unr"strained. The corset touches
nothing In front above the waist line
Much care must be exercised in putting
one of these corsets on. The laces
should be united and loosened. and
never left fastened from one time to
another. After the corset has been
