man nature. They do not, Of course,
stand as distinctly before us; nor are
their charms heightened by the divine
coloring of poetry; they are not placed
in variety of lights, that the varied but
harmonious aspects of their characters
may blend and form one perfect whole.
All that we learn of them is for the most
part contained in short episode thrown
in perhaps in illustration OF single cir
cumstance in the main narrative We
catch a glimpse Of their traits OF tender
beauty or majestic grace, and they are
gone. The portrait Of Ruth is more care
fully drawn than that of any other Scrip
ture woman. Most of the other sketches
are extremely slight and seem like those
pencilled outlines Of the great masters OF
painting in which few simple lines
without any aid of color, or of light anc
shade, possess a power of expression
which numbers them among the choicest
treasures Of the art, and from the study
of which succeeding artists may produce
those finished pictures THAT enchant the
world"
10 appreciate fully the character of
the women Of Scripture we must remem-
Der the early periods Of society to which
they belong, and the ignorance, degrada-
ton, and icentiousness which debased
the females of other nations. Their do
mestic graces, their moral purity and in
tellectual elevation shine with hal
lowed light amid the surrounding dark
ness, and form the most beautiful and af
fecting testimonial to the character of
our faith which even then exalted woman
to a height Of dignity and virtue, to
which the most refined civilization with
out it's aid has never raised her.
The character of Hannah, the mother
of Samuel, though not marked by any
striking traits, produces most pleasing
impression by its exceeding softness, ten
derness and piety. In those interesting
and natural scenes at the feast in Shiloh.
these traits, far more difficult to point
than striking and heroic features, are
touched with great delicacy and beauty
There is nothing picturesque or poetical
in the accompaniments of the story. yet
who can study it without being charmed
and softened by it's feminine loveiness9
To the coarse reproaches of her rival
Hannah replies only by silent tears: but
when Elkanah addressed her in those ex-
q,lisite words Of soothing which show
with what depth Of affection the child
less wife had inspired her husband:
Hannah, why weepest thou? and why
eatest thou not? and why is thy heart
grieved? am I not better to thee than
ten sons ?''-the fountains of tenderness
are stirred too deeply to be controlled.

To Expedite Notifications.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-That the rati- fication by the United States Senate of the arbitration treaties recently signed may be expedited the State De- partment Is endeayoring to have all the treaties identical in form. Belgium and several other powers have suggest ed new form of treaty and should any power insist on this, the negotia- tion of the treaty necessarily would be delayed. At present the outlook for acquiescence in the American wish in the matter Is favorable. The State Department has been advised of the Russian Governments acceptance in principle of the invitation to conclude an arbitration treaty but whether Rus sia will wish a new form of treaty or will content herself with one drawn along the lines of the Anglo French treaty is not yet known.

 MT. Hawtrey is of the quiet, natural school He delves into human emo tions and mirrors the frailties of man. kind His portrayal of the <uncon- sciously selfish man of the world in the first act was an admirable stage picture With equally reserved force he brought out the beauty of his re- demption. the awakening to his better self in the closing scene.
 Being a scholar, an alumnus of Ox- ford, Mr. Hawtrey grasps fine un- derstanding of what he Is to do and does 1t in a thoroughly finished style. That muchly abused word artist Is cor rectly applied to MT. Hawtrey. He is more than an artist; he Is a master of mummery.
 A full two minutes after the close of the first act of the play and when the depth of 1t all had sunk deep into the hearts, the great audience burst into applause. Twice the curtain was raised and MT. Hawtrey and members of his company who had finished the scene bowed Interest was intensified as the second act progressed and at Its close occurred the scene already drawn. At the first rise of the curtain MT. Hawtrey bowed. It was raised again and the principals appeared lowing and smiling. A third time 1t was rais- ed and MT.
