Boston's Erudfte Car Conductors.

When the news came over the wire that
downtrodden femininity in the modern
Gotham had at last rebelled against the
insolence that has from time immemorial
marked the conduct of the street car
servant in that city, cultured n happy
Boston merely shrugged its classic shout
ders and thanked Providence that it is as
hone of these.
As might have been expected, General
Bancroft had read the New York dis
patch.
"Of course" said he empbatically.
there is no occasion whatever for such
a movement as this in Boston. We think
that we have the best set of railway en-
ployees In the world. and people from
other large cities who ought to know tell
US the same thing.
"As far as our conductors are concern
ed, they are the most intelligent. best
paid and best trained to be found in any
city in the country. Some of them are
high school and college graduates. and
not a few of them speak several Ian.
guages."-Boston Globe.

An Age of Scents.

In the last year of the seventeenth CEN
fury st. Simon recorded in his diary that
King Louis XIV of France and his whole
court were obliged to leave the gardens of
the Trianon because the scent of the
tuberoses was so strong that no one could
endure it.
One hundred years later several histo-
rians noted the odors of musk which
chung about all the apartments of Marie
Antoinette and the court ladies. Still an
other century and visitors to the recent
international congress of women in Paris
say that their first sensation on entering
the hall was the fragrance of violet and
mignonette pervading that vast assembly.
Paris is not exceptional in the present
age Of scents. A shop walker in a fash
ionable New York store recently resigned
his position, compelled thereto by the eff
feet Of the ubiquitous sachet powders
upon his asthmatic constitution. He de-
clares that even to walk the shopping
streets makes him sneeze.
Many advertisements testify to the fad
for sweet odors. The hairdresser agrees
to iEpart lasting perfume to the hair.
The tailor uses perfumed dress Innings.
The dermatologist gives hypodermic in
~jections to perfume the skin. Perfume
parties are not uncommon.
We all remember how uncommonly dis
tinguished Lord Castlereagh looked at
the Vienna congress-, where he was the
only gentleman without any decoration
whatever. In like fashion the current
overuse of perfumes is already leading in
high places to the total rejection of them.

uAmoored In the hurricane, the sun will
shut its fiery eyelid. the stars will drop
ike blasted figs, the sea viii heaye its
last groan and lash itself in expiring
agony, the continents will drop like an
chors In the deep, the world will wrap
itself in sheet OF fame and leap on the
funeral pyre of the judgment dag. but
Gods love will never die. IL shall kindIe
its suns after all other lights have gone
cut 1t will be a billowing sen after all
other oceans have wcpt themselves
away. 1t will warm itself By the blaze
Of a consuming world. Ii viii sing while
the a~rchangers trumpet pealS and the air
is filled with the crash OF breaking
s~epulchers and the rush Of the wings OF
the rising dead. oh, commend that love
to all the cities, and the morning without
clouds will GOMEZ
i know that sometimes il seems a
hopeless task. You toll on in different
spheres, sometimes with great d;scour-
agement. People have 10 faith and say:
1T does not amount 10 anything. Yoa
might as well quit that" Why. when
Moses stretched his hand over the Red
sea, it did not seem 10 mean anything es-
pecially. People came out, l oppose,
and said, "Aha!" Some Of them found
out what he wanted 10 do. He wanted
the sea parted. 1t did hot amount to
anything, this stretching out of his hand
over the sea. But after awhile the wind
blew all night from the east, and the
waters were gathered into a glittering
palisade on either side, Inc the pillows
reared as God pulled back on their crys-
tai bits. Wheel into line, . Israel.
March, march, Pearls crashed under
feet. Flying spray gathers into rain
bow arch of victory for the conQuerors
to march under. Shout of hosts on the
beach answering the shout of hosts amid
sea. And when the last line Of the
1sraelites reach the beach the cymbals
clap, and the shields clang, and the wa
tiers rush over the pursuers, n the
swift fingered winds on the white keys
Of the foam play the grand march of
Israel delivered and the awful dirge Of
Egyptian overthrow.
So you and 1 go forth, and all the peo-
pie Of God go forth, and they stretch
their hand over the sea, the boiling sea
of crime and sin and wretchedness. 1T
doesn't amount to anything" people say.
Doesn't it? Gods winds Of help will after
awhile begin to blow. A path will be
cleared for the army Of Christian philan-
thropists. The path will be lined with
the treasures of Christian benefcence,
and we will be greeted to the other beach
by the clapping of all heavens cymbals,
while those who pursued US and derided
us and tried to destroy us will go down
under the sea, and all that will be left
of them will be cast high and dry Upon
the beach, the splintered wheel of a
chariot or thrust out from the foam, the
breathless nostril of a riderless charger.
