San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 11.-Bishop
Potter OF New York was the prinojr AT
speaker at tina meeting of the Church
Association for the Advancement of
Labor. held at the ALEXANDRIA Theatre
last night. He said in part:
"We will never solve the question of
labor until the organizing minds, the
guiding hands and employing managers,
ara identified with the unions with
which the employees are identified.
There should be mutual understand
ing between employers and their helm,
and both should be animated by COM
mon tie of brotherhood and fealty.''
Bishop Potter spoke of the operations
of the Board of Mediation and Ton
oiliation of New York, of which he ia
president. He SAID the board came into
being without authority, and added
that that was the reason, probably,
why he was chosen as its president.
The board was In existence 10 years
and settled number of momentous
labor disturbances The operations of
the board were conducted on the prin.
ciple that nothing tangible could be
accomplished If the question of social
contact was ignored.
In conclusion he said: "The laborer
and employer must be brought closer
together. You may legislste as you
please, impose taxation as you please,
or by any other process readjust the
conflicting elements of modern society,
hut IL you have not your heart in the
work you will fail utterly, The solution
of the labor problem consists In the
awakening of the heart of the employer
OF a deep concern for the welfare of
those who are in bis employ. Their
aims and horeB should not be antago-
nistic They should lningle together
and observe tho laws Of social contact.
Their airs being identical, their
methods should be harmonious il those
aims are to be snbseryed. "

COLOR OF PERSONALITY.
How This Young Girl Sums Up Her General Impression of
 Others.

"What do you think of her?" asked the man, as he and the girl looked to- gether at drawing in one of the il- lustrated magazines, according to the New York Sun. For answer the youn g woman took up pencil and wrote across the top Of the page: 'She is very distinctly lavender"
 What do you mean?" said the man. '"The drawing looks to me very much as though it were done in back and white"
 >'Of course" said the young woman, but I mean the real girl of whom tn at is the picture. I always sum up people in terms of color. The general impress sion which anyone makes upon me their look. talk and whole personality is summed tip for me in color. This is the only way in which I can con- caive a general impression of a person Just as soon as 1 meet new persons and talk with them half minute they be- come for me yellow, or scarlet, or vio- let, or some other color As for that names have color just as much as any thing else. Florence. of course, must make anyone think of thick red plush
 ''To see things in this way, of cou1 se color has got to have, in itself, a per- sonality, and I dare say that my color personalities are quite different from yours. But that is another question and a very complex one."

FLOUR SACK SAVED A LIFE.
Inflated With Air It Kept Hunter
 From Drowning.

A common flour sack and the use of his wits saved Chris Hansen. a mar ket hunter, from death by drowning in the bay off Sausaliro. Cal. It has been his practice to spend the early morning hours shooting on the bay near this place. This morning. while returning in 8 skiI from the hunting grounds. Hansen i'll some manner caused his shotgun. which was lying in the bottom of the boat. to explode The barrel being pointed downward the man received no injury, but the full contents of the weapon passed through the vessel, tearing q jagged hole in it's bottom.
 In a few minutes the boat con- menced to settle. and Hansen's most desperate efforts failed to stop the in fux of water. In despair he grasped the oars. and snatching flour sack used in carrying his game commenced to tie them together as a float to as sist him ashore.
 Quickly finishing this work he jumped into the water. deserting the boat, which sank q moment later. Hansen could swim but little. and found the oars an altogether made auate support. His struggles to keep af1oat we're rapidly eXhausting him. and at q critical moment the knot holding the oars together became un- tied. and they separated. The hunter was in despair, when he no t<ed that portion of the sack used in tying the oars had become filled with air \ moment later he had snatched 1t up and was holding it's open end toward the breeze, where it filled with wind. Closing the end with his hand. Hansen used the improvised life preserver to assist in bearing him up and easily re- mained on the surface of the water. The tide and the use of his legs grad uaIIy nropelled him toward the shore, and fifteen minutes later the drifting man was on dry land.-St Louis Chron- icla

RELIGIOUS CENSUS.
Indications that Catholics Form More

Indications that Catholics Form More
 Than Half the Population.
 New Orleans. La. Feb o.-Ihe can yassers who have been engaged for the past two weeks making religious house-to-house canvass of New Orleans for the purpose of determining the religious inclinations of the people re- ported to-day that the canvass hau been completed for one-third of the city and showed tie following result: Roman Catholics. 5T,52o: .Episcopa- Hans, 11,O33; Presbyterians, 7.43O; NIethodists, South. 5.532; Lutherans, .5225; Hebrews, 4.553; Baptists. 2,3T0; Nethodists, ,132; other minor denomin- ations, 1884; no religious preferences, 3.6eS. The result creates come sur prise. It's accuracy is generally recog- nized. There has been some dispute here as to the proportion the Catholics bear to the total population. They claim half, but this has been denied by the Evangelical churches, yet this canvass made by the evangelical churches shows that the same rate is preserved throughout the city, of which there is no reasonable doubt the Catholics constitute 10d 800 Of a total population Of f7.0OQ, or even more stl " t1le lsvee olaiMs6s

The pSnRl Income.

A recent letter from Rome in the Philadelphia Ledger states that the pope's income for 1900 amounted to $4,375 ,00O, nearly two-thirds of which was income for securities and Peters pence. The expense account of the holy father for the same year is fig ured at S1 ,09e 1000, of which $4s3, ,ooo rep resents salaries. The remainder of the account includes the expense of keeping up the vatican, the repairs at St. Peters, charities, and contingent expenditures and losses. The most not able item in this account is the per- sonal expense of the pope himself, which amounts to $2,5oC, showing that he lives a simple life. There will be a balance of over $3,O00.0o0 to be add ed to the contingent fund which now amounts to over $50 ,o0o ooo, a largepart of which is in American securities. The satisfactory condition of the pa- pal income shows that Leo XIII. is a more thrifty man and better financier than his predecessor.

OUR SWEAT SYSTEM.
About Twenty-Eight Miles of Sweat
 Glands in the Human Body.


 It may be interesting to know that one perspires more on the right side of the body than on the left, and that the skin of the palm of the hand ex- cretes four and a half times as much proportionately to the surface as the skin of the back, says Ainslee's Maga- zine. The pores in the ridges of the palm number as many as 5000 to the square inch. These pores are not sim pie holes or performatiOns in the hide, as some imagine, but are little pockets lined with the same epithelium or pavement stuff that covers the exter- nal of the body. They run straight down to the deepest structure of the skin, and there they kink up and coil around till they look like a fishing line that has been thrown down wet. En- closed in this knot are little veins that leak the precipitation through the walls of the tube, and it wells up to the sur face of the skin.
 It is estimated that the average sized man has 100000 of these sweat glands, aggregating .twenty-eig ght miles of tubing. Think Of it. Twen- weight miles. if all those tiny tubes could be enlightened out and put end to end. These figures, wonderful though they may seem, are on the very best. medical authority. They are the figures of men who have given their lives to the study of this subject But still, ii they seem too large to you, there is just as good medical authority for. the statement that there are D. 400 OO0 sweat glands on the human body each one-f1fteenth of an inch long, and that their aggregate length Is two miles and q half! Think of it. Two miles and half! If you object to that, too, I have the very best au- thprity for the statement that they are one-Quarter of an inch long and az gregate more than nine miles, or can figure 1t for you at seven miles or twelve miles. Take your pick. Our motto is: We aim to please" If one figure suits you more than another, It's yours We can substantiate 1t by the very best medical authority.
 find only one figure, however, for the amount of liquid secreted by the skin of an average person in year, though 1t is evident that the quantity must vary greatly according as the person works in an ice house or rides a bicycle up hill. From the average person in a years time there oozes through the pores of the skin 1.5Oo < pounds of water.

did not notice him for some time, but when he gently pressed her foot she edged away from him. This did not illustrate him, however. and in. a mo- ment he leaned toward her and made a remark intended to open q conver- sntion. She turned from him with a vehemence that caused the man with the paper to look up. Inquiringly he looked at her, then at the man who had annoyed her. Her blushes told him the tale of his wife's irritation.
 Slowly he folded up his paper, placed it on the seat beside him. arose with dignity and calmly walked over to the ''masher." Grasping the fellow by the throat, with his right hand he planted a single stinging blow on his nose. With unruffied demeanor he then walked back to his seat, deliberately sat down, unfolded his paper and re- sumed reading. The incident seemed to have passed from his mind. At the first crossing the wonld-be ''la- dies man" fled amid the taunts of his fellow passengers. but the husband paid not the slightest attention.
