The HIahest.Prlced Sermon.

From London Answers.
 The pulpit at Westminster abbey was once occupied by a preacher who was not clergyman, and had never been or dained. This was in December, 1873. when Dean Stanley invited Prof. Max Muller to preach on the religions of the world. It was one of the most interesting sermons ever heard, and when printed afterwards brought in several hundred pounds.
 The worlds sermon record Is held by the late MT. Sturgeon. His sermons have been published weekly for fifty years past, and there are still enough to last several years more Over a hundred million copies have been sold and their profits exceed those of any other half dozen preachers.
 For the most valuable single sermon ever preached 1t is, however, not MT. spurgeon, but Cannon Fleming who holds the record. This discouse was first heard from the pulpit of iSandringham church, on the sad occasion of the death of the Duke of Clarence. It was afterwards published, and it's profits have since amounted to total of a149S ($749O.) The money has been equally divided between the Gordon Boys Home and the British Home for Incurables.

UPON THE HEIGHTS
 THERE IS HEALTH Wonderful improvements and
 Great Beauty There, NORTH HIGHLANDS NOBLE A New Residential District That of- fers Extraordinary Attractions to f All Who Wish to Build Homes
 On Their Own Land.
NORTH HIGHLANDS NOBLE

The tide of investment in residential property Is turned very powerfully to the North Highlands, where the magnifi- cent new district recently opened up to settlement offers irresistible attraction to those who desire to build their own resi- dences on their own land and in a high, healthy, perfectly drained and exclusive district.
 There are great many such people in Birmingham and their number is rapidly increasing, on account of the great pros perity of the city and district and the daily arrival of new comers Many house. holders who are occupying rented resi- dences, especially in the downtown dis tricts, have become able in these piping times of prosperity to build residences for themselves. and when a man does start out to build house to live in he likes to look around him and proceed cau- traorolnary number of persons who are buying property on the beautiful North Highlands or who are Investigating the new district with a view to buying build ing sites.
 Certainly Birmingham has no district more beautiful; no city in the South has a district more beautiful, inviting or de- sirable than the new district on the North Highlands of Birmingham.
 The entire district lies high above the valley of Birmingham, and it Is as if 1t had been designed by nature for a resi- dential district of refinement, comfort and luxury. No smoke up there, no dust. no noise, no noxious odors of any char acter: but there is pure air and abundant sunshine on those beautiful wooded slopes. The sun strikes there on rising, floods the hills all day, and lights them going down. Without sunshine there can be no perfect health.
 And art has added to the opulent gifts nature has bestowed upon the North Highlands. Perfectly laid out, graded and macadamized streets parallel and ,in- tersect each other through all that won derfully attractive wooded district; there Is perfect system of scientific drainage; perfect water system, perfect electric light and gas systems. Nothing that could taste or necessity could exact or science or art could suggest has been left undone or to chance in the planning of what promises to be the most highly improved and charming residential district of Bir- mingham.
 There are no deep cuts, no high em- bankments, no hills to cut down, no lots to be graded at great expense to make place for residences. Nature adapted the ground perfectly to city, building, and sci- ence and skill, spurred by the spirit of

This is a story of the green room. There are theatrical clubs galore but did any one ever hear of an organization of circus clowns? One exists. It is known as the Puff Club, It is the only one in the world and the original of It's kind.
 The members of the Puff Club are all high saIaried men. Only the men who are really funny, the big guns, belong. It is an exclusive organization. built on the plan of the Lambs and the White Rats, which are the blue- -blooded clubs of the theatrical world
 One would think that the sawdust of the ring, and the rough-and-t tumble of circus life would place the clown com pany each on equal footing with the other But 1t doesn't. There are aristo- cratic clowns and clowns of the lower stratum. The latter class can no more gain admission to the sacred councils of the Puff Club than the riff raff of a great city can find welcome in the red-light circles on the boulevards where suburban trains go whisldng by The members of the Puff Club are the Sol Smith Russells, the Joe Jeffersons and the Sir Henry Irvings of the circus world. It Is one of the legends of the Puff Club that the blood royal must course through the veins of its votaries.
 There Is class of clowns that drifts from circus to circus with no particular intent. This class is socially ostracised by the members of the Puff Club. When the cutting winds of winter come 1t walks the streets in threadbare dress, and has nowhere to lay its head. They do intelligent work; are clean and decent and command good salaries. Not to bathe regularly once a day is a finable offense Once clown failed to bathe for three successive days. His expulsion followed. The club has s75 it has collected in fines.
 There are forty clowns with Ringling's circus which shows here next week. Of
The age-herald., 1901-10-27

this number only twelve are eligible to membership in the Puff Club The other twenty eight belong to the stroller class.
 Doc Kealey, manager of the Ringing clowns, Is president of the Puff clubs of the world. He conceived the idea. Now he is the Charles Frohman of circusdom. Next year he will graduate to the New York Rialto, and he expects to become a dizzy star in the theatrical Armament Tfe will go into comic opera.
 One of the distinguishing features of the Puff Club is that its members may use puff Clowns may all look alike to you, but they are divided into two classes, the class which uses puff and the class which does not. Puff Is a creamy, fra grant powder, like Swansdown, and the members of the Puff Club use 1t lavishly. The fellows who cannot carry message to Garcia must content themselves with coarse, white, grease paint.
 If a member of the Puff Club wants to blight his career, let him don the puff before Doc" Kealey gives the order. Once a clown tried this, and he is no longer a clown. It Is done in self-pro- tection. If a clown could don the puff at his pleasure he would be puffed and out into the ring. trying to make hit with the audience in advance of his fell lows. So he is restricted and cannot play to the grand stand He must tote fair.
 Kealey maintains that he likes the business and Is reluctant to leave It. He says there is something in the sawdust that gets into the blood. Kealey has been a clown for ten years. Once he wheeled slag in a Chicago mill, He be- came a roustabout for the Ringlings. and finally manager of the clowns and presi- dent of the Puff Club.

A DEBATE

The Christian Science folk are ag-
gressive up north" They have a Mr..
Carol Norton, big gun and fierce fight
er. He has been chosen a special ad-
vocate and defender. But he has met
his match and if he had turned up
would nave got a Fredericksburg or
Second Manassas defeat he would not
soon have forgotten. The Nineteenth
Century Club in New York wished to
hear both sides as to the so-called
new religion" They invited Mr..
Norton to appear and represent his
side. But when he heard who was 10
meet him. he was seized with heart
failure and hope and remained away.
The opponent was one of the greatest
debaters in America whether it be on
religion or science or any thing else
for he is immensely read and prodigi-
ously able. Rev. DR.. Joseph Parker,
the greatest Nonconformist preacher
in London. says he is 1.-The most Won
derful man he ever met" Well the
Rev. DR.. Buckley, editor of the New
York Methodist, was to handle Mr..
Norton. The great divine and journ-
alist was literally ''spilin for a fight"
with any man who dared to stand up
before him in advocacy of the Eddy
religion. The conclusion of the matter
we get from a summary in the Savan-
a News:
But the club was not to be gratified.
The Rev. DIR. Buckley was on hand,
but Mr.. Norton in a note, excused
himself. He a that it was impoSsi-
BILE in the time allotted to him to do
justice to Christian Science, that in
a forty minutes address he could
hardly touch ever the hem of the
garment
The club management undertook TO
get some other one of the Christian
Science leaders to take Mr.. Norton's
place, and failed. The members of the
Christian Science organization, who
were present OF the invitation of the
club. were greatly disappointed at the
refusal of their champions to be pres
ent and defend their faith. They were
mortified by the jeers with which Mr..
Norton's note. declining to be present,
was greeted. 1t "a openly said by
club men that the Christian Scientists
were afraid to meet an opponent of
their faith in debate"
They should get that fellow, in Bos-
ton we think. who sends his communi-
cations and replies to SO many south
ern paperS-to the Charlotte Observer,
the Charlotte Presbyterian Standard
and others. He is so ready with his
pen perhaps he would like Ito jaw
back" at DIR. Buckley in debate. BY
the way the Standard gives him a
rather pointed hut deserved reply in its
last issue.
