We have every reason to be encour-

l spent yesterday in looking over
the city, both in the ruined district
and the present business centers, and
have seen nothing which has served
to discourage or dishearten me in the
least
On every hand are phenomenal. evil
dences of the recuperative powers of
this wonderful city, which for two
months past has been a source of con-
tinual astonishment to the entire coun-

street, and has resumed the series OF
lectures by L. w. Rogers which proved
so popular In the Academy of Sciences
Hall before the fire. The first lecture
of the series was given last night before
large audience. and the subject, RE
incarnation" proved or more than com
mon interest to those present.
1t is the belief of Professor Rogers
that the soul is many years In becom-
ing perfect, and that 1t must rid itself
of many mortal bodies before it can
receive its final reward or punishment
according to the earthly life. The
rogue. the professor asserts, will be a
rogue in worse form in his next BODY.
while the good man will reach a higher
standard of morals. The next lecture

the picture frame and appears upon
the stage in her kits. The applause
she won was very insistent and she
was compelled to favor her apprecfat-

sermon the Rev. Mr.. Sawyer said:
Sunday was established to be a day
Of worship and of rest. These two
elements of its character must be pre-
served If a community is to be prosper
ous We are in danger of a Sunday
which is neither devoted to rest nor
worship.
Men whose ambitions are measured
in no nobler ambitions than dollars
and cents have made and are making
determined effort to secularize the day
into one of cheap enjoyment without
reference to its divine author.

he be inspired by faith in God or by
desire for his own ultimate welfare,

croachments upon the character of the

The Wilderness Mamma.

In Exodus xvi, 1896, and other pas
sages in the Old Testament is to be
found an account of the mamma fed to
the Israelites during their pilgrimage
in the wilderness. According to the
article on this subject in Smiths BIZ
BILE Dictionary, which is summary
of several passages, the mama came
every morning except the Sabbath in
the form of small round seed resem-
bling the hoar frost. 1t had to be gath
cred early, before the sun became so
hot as to melt it. 1t had to be gath
cred every day except the Sabbath.
The attempt to lay aside or accumulate
for a succeeding day except on the day
Immediately preceding the Sabbath
failed by the substance becoming
wormy and offensive. 1t was prepared
for food by grinding and baking. Its
taste was like fresh Oil and like waters
made with honey, equally agreeable to
all palates. Indeed the mamma be-
came to each person the food he was
accustomed to take. The whole nation
subsisted upon it for forty years, and
it suddenly ceased when they first got
the new corn in the land of Canaan.

observation of Rants personal pecul-

of taking care of himself, avoided Or

allure to be placed on any part of his
body, fearing to hinder in the slight

Paris possesses very fine gallery of
modern masters, largely of the Bar
bizon school, not one of which is genu-

that France is indebted for this queer
collection of the spurious. Passing
through the Rue de Vanguard one day,
his eye caught some canvases in a
window. They We're all signed by

ing inside, the list became more extern

the presence of false Corots, Diazes,
Daubignys, Lancrets, Isabeys, Neu-

revelation of his own identity enabled
Harpignies to become possessed of this
collection for something less than the
proverbial old song, and it may now
be inspected by those interested in
such matters at the state furniture de-
pot, where it is preserved as kind of
high water mark in sophistication.

WALLACE's CIRCUS WATER
PROOF TENTS.

nO0t CIV
Most all circuses claimfF to have
waterproof tents-canvas that will
turn rain-but only the very largest
ones can truthfully advertise to have
them.
There are times when waterproof
tents will not turn rain and yet they
are, thoroughly waterproof. This
may seem like paradox but it is
true, and is one of the several pecu-
liar circumstances and incidents of a
circus managers career that place
him in bad plight, as far as his
integrity is concerned.
Mr.B. E. Wallace the sole owner
of the high-class circus bearing his
name, always buys new canvas for
his horse, menagerie circus and dress
ing-room tents each year. This year
the size of the various tents was
considerably increased, owing to the
enlargement of the show. These
"tops" are carefully sewed, roped and
ribbed by expert sailmakers after
they have left the tent factory, then
they are taken to the winter quarters
and spread cut on the ground. 1t is
when the new tent tops are seen in
this way that the size of circus
outfit can be appreciated. This spring,
when the top of every tent with the
Wallace Show was being made water
proof, a small pasture of eight acres
was used. 1t was found to be too
small and a large field was secured,
where the canvass could be spread
without any trouble. :.
EAfter the canvas is thoroughly dried
by the sun, men walk back and forth
over it, pouring fluid upon it, which
is later rubbed in by brush. The tent
is again dried and is ready for use.
1t will turn water, except under
certain conditions. If put up dry it
is as good as the average roof.
The manager of a circus of the
high order and merit of the Wallace
Show is compelled to use waterproof
tents. The high-salaried performers
with this show are independent, they
know that their services are in de-
mand, that all big shows would like
to have them. They will not work
under a bad canvas, especially one
that leaks. In order to retain them,
waterproof tent is necessary, and
hence, for a number of years, Mr..
Wallace has always provided water
proof tents. He makes the surround
ings as pleasant as possible, not only
for his patrons, but for his own peo-
pie, who are essential to the presen-
tation of circus program of rare
novelties.
The Great Wallace Show will be
here under its waterproof tents or

A dog is accounted the only living

the dogs gaze is annulled."
