ST. PIERRE AND POMPEI,
comparison Of the Two Disasters by Edgar
Saltus.

st. Pierre has been generally com.
pared to Pompcii. The comparison is
imaginative, but not exact, says Ed
gar Saltus in the New York Journal.
In st. Pierre destruction has been
plutonian. In Pompeii it was rela-
lively slight. Pompeii was town OF
about 10000 inhabitants. OF these
all save few hundred escaped. The
latter were asphyxiated.
There had occurred hail of little
stones. Then ensued rain OF ashes.
1t was that which suffocated those
who remained. Thirty years ago the
same sort of thing happened at
Naples, but with this difference-for
protection umbrellas sufficed.
A comparison between St. Pierre
and Pompeii is not therefore admis.
sible. Lisbon perhaps would be more
to the point. The catastrophe which
occurred there was due, however, not
to an eruption, but to an earthquake.
1t may be worth noting that in mod
ern Greek, earthquakes and eruptions
are synonymous. They are called
theomenia. literally Gods anger, a
term probably suggested by Psalm civ.
30: g. He looketh on the earth and it
trembleth. He toucheth the hills
and they smoke"
Statisticians estimate that through
theomenia 100000 people have lost
their lives. To these must now be
added those that have pershed in
Martinique. Yet, though the loss
there is prodigious. it is less than
that which Lisbon knew.
Whom the capital of Portugal fell,
Europe shook. The Alps tottered.
The Pyrenees quivered as leaves do in
storm. The convulsion was felt in
Africa. Near Morocco an entire city
disappeared. The earth opened. Then
it closed. The city had gone. The
vibrations of the earthquake extended
to Finland. They reached Canada.
They affected even the Antilles.
Meanwhile at Lisbon in just six
minutes 10000 people died.
The catastrophe in the Caribbean
is therefore more comparable to that
than to the accident at Pompeii. In
vestigation, have shown that in Pom
peii there was no lava, no fire, none of
the horrors which the southern sea
has seen, but as Investigations have
also shown there have been mistakes.
The sentinel for instance, who per.
ished nobly, martyr to duty at his
post, has turned out to be a footpad.
Through an error of antiquarians the
honors due to hero have been
usurped by thief. 1t is comforting
to conclude that in honors as in hor-
rors it is human to err.

Puipit's Tribute to the Stage.

1t is not often that ministers of the
gospel feel called upon to say much
good OF actors, living or dead. 1t is
therefore somewhat remarkable that a
celebrated Chicago preacher, the Rev
Jenkin Lloyd Jones, not only said
good words for the dramatic profession
in the course of one of his late ser.
mons, but took the life of the recently
deceased actor, Sol Smith Russell, as
his text. In his peroraton he said
"The whole country joins in tender
love for the name of Sol Smith Rus.

pulpit real upon the stage in regard to
our "poor relations" and made so
many OF us, for the time being at
least, citizens of the Peaceful VAL
ley," where in we fein would ever dwell.
"Noblesse oblige" was the message
that Sol Smith Russell preached on
the stage and practiced in the street,
and our obligations are the more
noble for having known and heard
him."
Those who know, or who had even
seen, Sol Smith Russell, realize that,
in the foregoing, the pulpit has for
once spoken truthfully of the stage.

Unable to Proceed.

Three men determined to rob a
certain house. So on the night de-
cided on they gathered in front OF the
building. One OF them entered and
started up the stairs. He had his
boots on, and when near the landing,
his boots made noise on the stairs
A female voice called out from one OF
the rooms:
You go right down stairs and take
those boots of. I'm tired OF having to
clean up mud and dirt after you come
up here with your boots on. You
march right down and take them off. VI
The burglar turned around, went
down the stairs and outside to his
companions, and said:
"Boys, couldn't rob that house
it seems too much like home"

Politeness With Sad Results.

At Washington one day it was rain
ing hard, and the street cars were
crowded with passengers more or less
bedraggled, relates a gossiper at the
capital. Among them was General
Joe Wheeler. Next to him was a wo
man wearing a macintosh, who rose
to get off at Fourteenth and + streets
General Wheeler noticed an umbrella
leaning against the car seat. He
grabbed the umbrella, ran after the
woman, caught her at the door and
said: Pardon me, madam, but you
left your umbrella" The woman
looked puzzled, but took the umbrella
General Wheeler resumed his seat
Then q woman on the other side o
him gave little scream and said
"Why, you nasty little man, you gave
that woman my umbrella" Then sht
appealed to the conductor. General
wheeler apolOglzed. but the woman
said: "NOw you just get right off the
car and get it for me or I'll notify the
police" Meekly the veteran OF three
wars tumbled off into the rain and

He made hurried explanation, go,
the umbrella and rushed back to the
waiting car. As he handed it back tC
it to its owner he said: "I trust you
will pardon me, madam. I assure yor
