REVEALS NOW THE RAGE.
Great Spiritual Movements in a So
Called Materialistic Age Are
Becoming Popular.

"This is a material age" How
often that is said. How true it
seems to be, till some strong ideal
istic phenomenon gives it the liel
In the New York Schenectady, a
capital of materialism, a city of
locomotives and electric plants,
there has been a great and sincere
old-fashioned religious revival,
says Everybody's Magazine.
Great meetings were held in
churches, theaters and public
halls. The fervor, the penitence,
the religious emotion of the camp
meeting of the hearers of the "re-
vivalists" in simple days, were dis
played in this material age"
Men and women turned to the
things of the spirit. They aspired
to better lives. There was a moraI
effect as well as a religious excite
ment. For example, liquor-sell-
ing fell off greatly. In Denver,
Col, immense religious mass
meetings were held. On an ap-
pointed "day of prayer" the pub
lie schools, the city offices and
many business establishments
were closed. Even the theaters
were given over to religious serv-
ices and were crowded. In Den
yer, as in Schenectady, there was
a union of the Protestant sects.
The result indicated how much
energy and opportunity of fruit
full effort are wasted on petty
names and divisions, matters of
mint and cummin. In South
Wales, too, there has been a great
revival, and an American evangel.
list and an American singer Of
hymns have been holding revival
meetings in Albert Memorial hall,
London. Such reactions against
materialism are inevitable. Re
ligion is a permanent human need.

Prizes for Servants.

In celebration of the emperor of
Austria's birthday a short time
ago 20 purses, each contain
ing the equivalent of $75,
were offered for competition
among domestic servants who
could prove long and satisfactory
service in respectable situations.
The qualifications of the winners
showed some truly remarkable
periods of service. One of the win
ners-a valet-had been in the
service of one man for as years. A
maid servant of nearly 80 years of
age had served about 80 years in
an orphanage, where she was still
in active employment when she re-
ceived the award. Another WON
an, aged "a years, had entered the
service of afamilyas scullery maid
and was still with the same fam
lily, after 43 years service. All of
the winners had been in their sit
uations more than 80 years.

JAPANESE MAILING CARDS.
The Wan Now Furnishing Striking
Subjects for Their Illustration
One Cards Beauty.

Pictured mailing cards, made In
Japan, nowadays present many
striking scenes of the war. One
card, for instance, lately received
in this country, has upon 1t two
pictures of the army review held
in Toxic November 4, 1904.
There is also reproduced on this
card, running across the larger
of the two pictures, a bar of mu-
sic, presumably an army bugle
call. There are legends in Japan
ese characters on each side of this
card, and the title explaining the
pictures is printed also in Eng
lish.
Another japanese mailing card
with a war picture for it's illustra-
ton has likewise legends in Jap
anese characters on either side,
one Of these Inscriptions being
printed in gold. The title of the
picture as printed in English un-
der a line of Japanese is; "Our
Combined Squadron Steaming
Toward the Enemy"
The picture on this card also is
a reproduction of a photograph,
of one evidently taken from the
after deck of a war vessel, a sec.
ton of which appears in the fore
ground of the picture. AS shown
on the card the vessels, with a bat
tleship in the lead, are coming
toward the observer in column.
The broad wake made by the turn
ing screws of the ship from which
the photograph was taken shows
plainly in the picture, as do the
waves made by the bows of the
battleship following, the lead
er of the column of ships seen in
the picture, which is moving
through a broad and quiet sea.

sight, to the distant horizon.

BISHOP HAS RELIGIOUS BOG
Philadelphia Students Have Educated
Ryan's Collie and He's Very Wise
Valued at a Big Sum.

The famous st. Bernard dog
trained to a show of religious
practices by a Benedictine monk
has a rival In a collie owned by
Archbishop Ryan, Of Philadel-
phia; The collie struck up an &C
quaintance with the archbishop
one day while he was taking his
customary walk in Paramount
park, and thereafter stuck close
to the heels Of the prelate, even to
the doors of the episcopal resi-
dence.
"BegOnep commanded the arch
bishop, who was afraid that some
one might think he was trying to
smuggle the handsome animal
into the house. The dog went
sheepishly down the steps, but,
catching sight of the archbish
ops kindly look, bounded up
again, wagging his tail.
"Well, come in, then" said the
prelate, and the collie obeyed with
a bound.
Since that day, a year ago, he
has been an attache of the arch.
bishops household. He knows
how to put his paws together In
an attitude Of prayer, he "sings,"
thumps the piano with his big
paws and exhibits p~enitence for
misbehavior. The student
around the archiepiscopal resi-
dence have taken the greatest
pains with his religious educa-
ton, and the collie would no more
think of barking during religious
service than he would of trying to
pick a quarrel with the sculptured
hound on the lawn. During reli
gious professions he assumes OF
his own accord an attitude of re
spect, sitting on his hind legs and
remaining motionless until the
procession passes.
The dog had not been longin the
possession of the archbishop be
fore Mgr. Ryan discovered thaI
he belonged to another man who
was much chagrined at his loss
This real owner approached tn,

day.

"Maybe it is" said his excel

The stranger called to the ami

see him. Then he showed the arch
bishop that the collie had a pedi
gree which would arouse the env,

cruciatingly that if l even took a
long breath l felt it. When the
attacks were in the acute stage I
could scarcely get around, and
even in bed there was not single

or to lift even a pound caused
twinges across the small Of my
back; in fine, despite the fact of
doctoring and using unlimited
quantities of medicine, all guar
anteed to cure kidney complaint,

place Of better. Doan's Kidney
