Church Entertainment.

The prediction lately made by minis
Ter in one OF the Western cities-Chicago'
we believe-to the effect that the only
way in which il would soon be possible
70 maintain an interest in church work
would be by means OF 1.-THE continuous
vaudeville" startled a great many con-
Servative church gOers, and possibly
shocked some OF them. However, the
stream OF tendency seems TO have set
rather strongly in the direction OF a ful-
hllment OF this prophecy. Billiards ping
pong. hops. amateur theatricals, secular
concerts. legerdemain. charades. socia-
bl,s fairs. suppers, primarily for pur-
poses OF revenue. music OF doubtful sa-
credness-if there is a dividing line be-
tween the sacred and secular in music; all
OF these have come TO be recognized as
adjuncts Of more or less value in church
work The underlying idea seems to be
10 make the church an attractive social
club. and thus bring within its sphere
OF influence many who value church
connection at the outset chiefly for the
social opportunities il offers. 1t would
be difficult 10 find a serious objection TO
this view OF so much OF the work OF
church as may properly be considered sec
ular. There may be a line which II would
be dangerous TO cross. but where It lies
would probably be as difficult TO dehne
as is the Alaskan boundary.-New York
Times

Do our business men get more out Of
life than their fOrefathers got out Of it
hundred years ago: In certain direc-
tions it is quite evident that they do.
There are more ways Of having fun.
there are more things to do. il is far
easier TO 60 about And yet Il seems
TO be true, also, that people have less
time, nowadays, and take less real
solid comfort than did their grandfath-
ers. Ii has been lately discovered that
the individual Of to-day is fifty times
as able to supply his material wants as
was the individual of one hundred
years ago. That is 10 say, the produc-
tive power of the race has increa sed
fifty fold. II would seem reasonable
10 suppose that under these conditions
a man to-day would have far more leis-
ure than ever man had before. But
the truth is the man OF to-day is dreaL-
fully pressed for time; he is driven to
death" as he sometimes puts II, by
his terrible social and business respon-
sibilties. He rushes of from a hasty
breakfast to board an express train. 10
be whirled 10 his telephone and type
writer and other devices for saving
time. Everybody, nowadays. is out OF
politeness supposed TO be over head
and ears busy-busy in trade, busy in
his profession, busy socially. We are
continually hearing people say, 81 have
no time for anything" 1t is the fash
ion 10 be overwhelmed with engage
ments and pressed for time. Ii there
is a death in the family, the Clergyman
Is hurriedly summoned by telephone 10
perform the funeral services. Personal
letters are dashed of on a typewriter,
because this suggests rushing employ
ment; and the result is that the grow
ing generation OF young men does not

scription. Now the moral of this tale
is that while a moderate degree of
hustle may be good thing. il is pos
sible to take an overdose and then Il
becomes bad thing. If we are ter.
ribly rushed" driven TO DEATH" and
it is not with Us q huge joke. or an as

these Need Encouragement.

The person who really needs the atten-
ton of the school commencement speak
ers is the man who has passed his college
days and has found TO his dismay that
sheer force Of circumstances has crowded
him into a rut. This is the individual
whose mind has stopped growing and VINO
fancied that his education was com
pleted" when he left his high school or
academy or college. Very likely some
misguided professor assured him at the
time that his education would prove in
valuable to him. He looks back and
fails TO see where il has advanced him
materially. He has forgotten most OF
the facts he learned save few vasne
generalizations. He would be al loss
TO extract the square root Of any number
OF four figures; he could not construe
Latin sentence or conjugate Latin verb
TO save his life: physics. chemistry, math-
ematics-all are sealed books TO him.
That he decides to put these things be-
hind him. concludes that his time for
education is past and puts aside with
sullen resignation all future opportuni-
ties for learning is not at all surprising

hXdrophobia SCareS,

dogs are often the victims of other dis

more active and general in summer than

presented to the public repeatedly. every
dog which is not plainly in good health
in July and August is pursued TO it's

Ii is almost certain that the popular
fallacies about mad dogs and hydrophobia

possible that any large American emi-

Prospect of LONGEVITY.

Timid people and pessimists are inclin-
ed 10 fear that the progress Of invention
is increasing the dangers Of accident and
disease to such an extent that human life
must necessarily be shortened. This fear
appears to be groundless. Collected sta
tistics show that the average duration OF
human life is steadily increasing. Some
interesting and striking facts along this
line are presented in q recent report OF
the Chicago board OF health. The aver
age duration OF life has increased in a
third OF a century from fourteen years
to more than thirty-one years. Exclusive
of suicides. deaths from violence have de-
creased 6.S per cent. Deaths from rail-
way and car accidents have decreased
more than per cent. Since the partial
abolition Of railways on grade and the
introduction Of tenders on cars. six years
ago, deaths from this source have de-
creased l2.6 per cent-San Francisco

Carelessness in Behavior.

The Traditional freedom and natural
ness OF American social relations hsve
charm and a value when under proper
training they are made 10 promote in both
boys and girls mutual respect and unaf-
fected modesty. Doubtless. TOO. that nm
chaperoned companionship OF young pco-
PIE which so shocks foreigners results
for the most part in virtuous affections
and happy marriages. But this is some
thing far different from the license and
disregard OF decorum which is becoming
alarmingly prevalent. not among the low
er orders in the social scale. but in fam
lilies which are considered intelligent and
well bred. The manners Of young men
have degenerated.i They will act and
speak in the presence of women il way
that would not have been tolerated gen
Grafton ago. and young women who are
unquestionably without evil intent will
conduct themselves as no woman could
have done few years ago without seri-
Gus damage to her reputation.
There is evidently need OF a revival o.
the questionable art Of bringing up chill
dren. Boys and girls are growing up TO
be lawless. Lacking respect for author
ity and conventions, they easily lose re-
spect for the virtues which authority and
conventions seek to guard. Laxity in
homes and schools, contact under unta-
vorable conditions OF young men and
women in business life. the rush self
ishness and bad manners OF our crowded
streets, shops and public conveyances,
all tend TO the destruction OF that good
breeding which commands respect and
nurtures modesty.-New York Tribune.

EARLY RISING.

Benefits that Modern Business Men
Begin to ReaIize.
A few years ago nearly all wealthy
men, bankers, brokers. the heads Of
great establishments. did their work
between ten and three. The New York
Sun tells us that the younger business
men, who are often accused of being
degenerate sons OF Woodworking faith
ers, are making great change in the
matter of hours, beginning the day
earlier. The business day has thus
been heightened. not for the pad m
derlings, whose hours have ALWAYS
been from eight or nine until five or
six, but for the men who manage the
great transactions in the worlds com.
