MISS Florence ObSt the Center OF At.
traction in Big Hotel.
New York Times.-A street preacher
was holding forth at Thirty-fourth and
Seventh avenue, recently, when
little Miss Florence Obst, walk
ing past with her father and mother on
the way to take car to their home, at
$40 West Forty-third street, paused to
hear what the man was saying. Mr..
and Mrs. Obst went on, and didn't miss
their daughter until five minutes had
passed.
Meanwhile Florence mingling with
the crowd, listened to some unpleasant
prophecies concerning the ultimate
fate Of the wicked, and though she
didn't understand much of it she con-
Guided that it all possibly had some
reference TO her naughtiness in not
keeping close to her papa and mamma
when in the street. So, little con-
science stricken, she pushed her way
out of the crowd and hurried in pur-
suit of her parents. She went toward
Broadway however, while Mr.. and
Mrs Obst, who meanwhile had discov,
cred that she was not with them, were
rushing frantically up Seventh avenue
Florence soon understood that she
could not find her parents, but al
though only four years old she has
abundant confidence in herself, ana
calmly pursued her way. She picked
her path through the maze of traffic at
Broadway and Sixth avenue. and found
herself at the doors Of the Waldorf
Astoria.
She peered in and decided that it was
delightful place for young person
such as herself. without hesitation
she sauntered through the doorway,
and in a few minutes found herselr
admiring and being admired in pea
cock Alley" The demure little maid,
in her big hat, pretty lace coat, and
dimpled kSees showing above her short
white stockings, looked over every
body and everything with polite inter
est, and presently, seeing good place
from which to view the passing show,
climbed up on a sofa beside an elderly
man, who, when he saw her purpose,
helped her to a seat. There she made
herself as comfortable as possible,
though her little legs did stick straight
out over the tapestry covered edge, and
her little toes did point at each other.
"Your baby, senator" inquired a
stout man, accompanied by several
women. and the senator said "No" be-
fore Florence, in candid protest against
being called baby" remarked:
I'm four years old"
She regarded the stout man as sc.
verely as she could with her big blue
eyes, and in an instant the women
pounced upon her, declared her to be
a darling" and took possession OF
her.
After that Miss Florence held a re-
ception and became the center of de-
lighted crowd. She was talked TO, pet
ted. and prattled away apparently with
out reserve. But she had a secret,
and kept it well, though it at times
gave a pang. She was "losted," and
she knew that her mamma was worry.
ing about her. But Florence was hay-
ing such delightful escapade that she
ould not bring herself to confess the
truth.

Japanese Field Marshal.

One of the Japanese field marshals,
Marquis Yamagata, is &C years old,
and looks decrept, although he is full
of energy. He represented the mikado
at the coronation of the car in Mos
COW in 1896. The other field marshal,
Marquis Oyama, is four years younger,
but looks portly and phlegmatic. He
married Japanese girl who received
her education in the United States.
He went to France during the war
with Prussia, and was in Paris during

Crusade Against Narcotics.

At the last session of the Illinois gen.
eral assembly a law was passed prohibit
ing the sale of cocaine in any form, ex-
cept on physicians prescriptions, and the
state board of pharmacy is now engaged
in putting 1t into effect. At about the
same time Georgia, Pennsylvania and
Texas also passed anti-cocaine anti
narcotic laws, and IL or Is of the states all
told have now placed such legislation
their statute books. The campaign against
these drugs has been taken up with great
vigor by the American Pharmaceutical
association, and will be waged ma
tional scale. A stringent law has been
drafted, which already has been intro
duced into congress as part of the gen.
eral poison bill by Representative Rob
inson of Indiana. Substantially the same
law VIII be presented for the considera-
ton of every state legislature that meets
this winter. The campaign is to be con-
legislation the entire country is protected
as fully as legislation can protect it
against cocaine, morphine and all their
ilk.
The movement deserves hearty support
and thoroughgoing success. Druggists and
physicians generally are in favor of it,
for they know better than any other
persons, except the victims themselves,
the ravages which these drugs can cause.
There are black sheep druggists which
are willing to ruin the bodies and souls
of all their customers for few pennies
of profit. They deserve no sympathy from
anyone, and the more vigorously they are
prosecuted and the more severely they
are punished the better it will be for the
conlrnunity.-Chicago Record-Herald.

st. Petersburg's odor.

Some sensitive essayist should take
the smell of. place as subject. Paris,
for example, is lightly pervaded with
the odor of burning charcoal, and COM
ing from Paris to London one is newly
assailed by the appeal of SCOT. Cologne
has a reputation, long undeservsd, for
smells other than that of its famous
water" ard it has been said that in
years of old a blind man could find
his way about Cologne by following his
nose. Moscow has an odd perfume of
its own. It suggests cranberries of
peculiar pungency. And it never
leaves the nose. Garlic. of course, is the
basic smell that greets the stranger
who lands at Calais. But the most
curious of the smells of place is that of
St. Petersburg. The present writer had
often wondered what it was, having de-
tected it even between the sheets of
his bed at the most exorbitant hotel
On his third visit he was driving in a
droschky fl ON the station with a fresh
young English girl, who had never

China and Korea

1t is neither to be expected nor de-
sired that the report shall come true ac-
cording to which, If Japan wins signal
victory over Russia. China is to join
the winner as a combatant and bring
her banners, stinkpots and fumigation
of devils to the sacred work of expelling
the oppressive Russian from Chinese
soil. 1t is not to be believed that the
sagacious "elder statesmen" of Japan
have solicited this assistance. In fact,
reversing the praise of Japan by one OF
our own officers who saw her troops at
work in China, China is neither "a val
liable ally nor a formidable enemy"
China is "in the hands of her friends"
She had better leave herself there She
will only embarrass them If she under

military way. With Korea the case is
quite different. Korea has suffered
much and apprehends more from Rus
sian encroachment. Korea knows per-
fectiy we'll that the success of Russia
against Japan would mean the extin-
guishment of Korea as a nationality.
With everything that deserves to be
called a, nationality, in which category
China is unfortunately not included, the
instinct of national self-protection is as
potent as the instinct of individual self
preservation.-New York Times.

MODELLING IN CORK.
New Fad to While Away Long
Winter Evenings,

An interesting and extremely fasci-
mating occupation for the long winter
evening is that of modelling in cork, and
after a little practice the presevering
ones will be surprised to find what clever
and ingenious young architects they Will
become, while they will be greatly
charmed as the crude design grows be-
meath their nimble fingers.
Let US suppose that it is desired to
manufacture a model of some old ruin
ed castle, upon which the, clinging ivy
twines so tenderly. and around which
hover many memories of bygone state
and splendor.
Workers must first supply themselves
with the necessary materials and proper
tools. OF the latter they will require
some paint brushes, hammer, a sharp
penknife, a pencil and pair of scissors.
Having procured these they must OBJ
tain a quantity of cardboard, cork
sheets. few old bottle corks, a little
fine sand, paints, glue, wire and a small
quantity of artificial moss and ivy
And now, having decided upon the
building and procured the necessary
materials, the next thing to be done is
to draw plan of the castle you intend
to reproduce. This accomplished, you
may proceed to make a frame of light
cardboard, cutting it carefully to the
requisite size, and then securing upon
the millboard framework a layer of the
sheet cork to form the walls. This may
DS IQaue 10 represent stone Work Dy
means of uneven pencil strokes, which
should afterward be colored in with
black or dark brown paint, in order to
give the structure a suitable appearance
of age.
The particular portion of the castle
which has fallen into absolute ruin and
decay should have rough and Jagged
edges. The walls should be darkened
by means of little brown paint judi
ciously applied, and small, irregular
pieces of cork may be heaped against
the sides to represent fallen masonry.
Broken columns are quite easy to imi-
tate, and if an ordinary cork be rough
ly carved with a sharp pocket knife and
then carefully painted and sprinkled
with a small quantity of moss, which
should be rubbed between the fingers
until light powder is formed, it will be
found to serve the purpose most eff
fectively.
And now the artificial ivy (Which must
be of small leaved VARIETY may be
called into requisition and trained
around the broken columns and upon
the crumbling walls until most real
istic appearance is given to the whole.
The floor should be strewn with sand
with which a little powered moss has
previously been mingled.-Memphis

the choir and organ. The organ is to
be a pipe organ, and will be the only
one on the North side. Opening from
the west of this main room will be the

of the building will be of stone, while
the rest will be of pressed brick. The
entire structure will be great orna-
ment to this part of town. 1t is the
intention to commence work as soon as
practicable, and it is expected that
the contract will be let within a few
weeks. AT the meeting last evening
Architect Ycunkers was present and

signs of this new church building.
