splendors of Cafes,

The cafes and hotels of New York
are rivaling each other In the almost
oriental splendor with which they have
fitted up small rooms for dinner and
after theater parties. At one cafe near
Broadway the sides of one of these
rooms are composed entirely Of mir
rors, after the French fashion, while
the ceiling is covered with green leaves
and grapes, punches of pink and purple
grapes Of glass, within which are cleo
trio lights. The effect is that of a beau
tiful arbor. Another cafe has mirrors
rejecting small red lights throughout
the room, while the ceiling, also of
mirrors, is an exquisite imitation of
moonlight, the effect of which is OBJ
tanned by electrics inclosed in globes
of the color and sheen of moonlight
seen through delicate tracery of faint
green leayes.-Exchange

GREAT POPULARITY
or ASSOCIATION
It's Adaptability to Various
Needs
YOUNG MEN AND sors SAVED
Through fundamentally of the T. M.
CA. Attaining School and Pleasant
Recreation Are Ever Offered To
Members of Order.

At the opening of $3.50, 900 building
in Brooklyn, DR.. Goldman recently said
| If we as church men can find new en-
gines of civilization it is ourRduty tt
use them. Over half tho 100 youns
men who decided to become Christians
at the meetings at which I have spoken
in the past year were of the Y. NJ. c A,
This is magnificent temple of ap.
piled Christianity. A young man will
find in the Association all that Christ
can do for young mans life, from a
bath tub to Bible class"
The secret of the great success and
popularity of the Y. NJ. G. A. lies in
the fact that the Association takes men
just as it finds them and meets their
needs in practical way.
For the young men and boys in the
towns and cities who work in stores
and offices all day, it provides thor
oughly equipped gymnasium under
the direction of trained physical di-
rector who is often an M. D.
Besides, for those who have not time
to attend school in the day time it has
the night schools, which are directed so
ably that the large colleges and uni
versities are receiving diplomas from
these Y. M. G. A. night schools as
certificates that so much education has
been attained.
With its social parlors and reading
rooms it is affording many young men,
who would otherwise have to spend
the evenings in cool, cherries rooms,
or loafing on the streets, a place to
spend their time pleasantly and quite
profitably.
Thus it saves the average young men
from the temptations which beset them
during their leisure hours and snatcheS
many young man from life of ruin
and saves them for life of usefulness
in their communities.

a curious variety Of the old fash

peasants OF Bosnia AMI Here govina
when roasting sheep whole, as ON the

often sees near a running stream a
long pole having one end revolving
freely in a socketed peg, while the
other, overhanging the water, is equip

the Bosnian roasting jack. The sheep
to be cooked is impaled on the log,
a fire is lit underneath, and while
the current spins the paddles and the
pole merrily round the big joint is
cooked literally to turn.-Wide World

A Welsh Sermon.

The Welsh are noted for their fond
ness for sermons and music. The an
nual eisteddfod,- the national bardic
congress, is attended by thousands,
who on the great day of festival
"chair" the fortunate bard, the winner
Of the prize.
A similar enthusiasm greets the
Welsh preacher who is eloquent in
speech and practical in expounding the
Scriptures. The following story of a
Welsh preacher, told in the Journals
Of Walter White" illustrates the
graphic, simple exposition which con-
manded the attention of the congrega-
ton:
moe worked at the ark, driving
nails, plump, plump, plump. The hay
then came and said: Noe, there's good
hunting in the woods here, hares and
foxes. Leave your work and come and
hunt But Noe kept on hammering,
plump, plump, plump.
'The haythen came again: Noe,
there's good beer at the Red Lion.
Leave your work and come and drink.
But Noe kept on hammering, plump,
plump, plump. And then the rain
came, and the food lifted up the ark
and carried Noe away and left the
haythen all screaming and squabbling
in the WATER"

''Well, If you ever had been in love

She Was an "Easy Mark"

Sbo vvNo NJ 6Noy uATNs
"Did you intend to give me this?'
asked steward on one Of the steam
ers of woman passenger who just
tipped him. "This" was q bright new
penny.
The woman, looking amazed and
embarrassed, said: mo, l didn't give
you that. 1 gave you a $3.50 gold
piece, didn't IT,
'"That's what thought you meant to
give me. was sure you had made a
mistake" said the man. The woman,
with an apology, took the penny and
gave him gold piece. Then she went
back to her stateroom to count her
money and to try to understand.
1t came to her all right. She remem-
bered two years before on her home
ward trip a fellow passenger had told
how the steward had come to her with
q new penny given him by mistake,
the steward said, and she had made it
good.
It was a little late then-she had
been an 'easy mark" and she knew it
and it wouldn't do a bit of good to
object. She did tell the purser, who
promised to Investigates she knew,

Happiness From Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily,
We cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some Of us
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
In number as they are disagreeable in
association. The vast majority Of hui
mans are normal and disposed, there
fore, in conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent of clouds;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes a cripple of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty of death, but
too little cognizance Is taken Of the
fact that the effect Of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome.-George
Harvey in North American Review.

Each Got What He Wanted,

"A hunter set out one day to hunt,
and panther set out at the same time
to eat" said the lecturer.
"T must have fur overcoat,' said
the hunter.
"I,' said the panther, must have a
dinner
'Some hours later, in lonely wood,
the panther and the hunter met.
"'Aha,' said the hunter gayly, level
ing his gun, here is my fur overcoat.'
"And he shot, but the panther, dodg-
ing behind tree, escaped unhurt.
"Then the panther rushed forth be-
fore the hunter could reload.
"'Aha, here's my dinner said the
panther.
"And he fell upon the hunter and de-
voured him.
''Thus each got what he wanted, the
hunter getting his fur overcoat and the
panther getting his dinner.
