Rare Wines.

AS we mourn over the vanished
reign Of port, it is especially sad to
think how brief that reign was. Port
did not come to this country until to
ward the end of the seventeenth cen
fury. A passage in the immortal
diary, wherein Mr.. Pepys exults in the
treasures of his cellar, illustrates the
changefulness of fashion in wine.

two tierces of claret, two quarter casks
of canary and a smaller vessel of

Gypsy Smith Again

among the poor and ignorant.
When Gypsy Smith was 16 years
old he publicly protested conversion
as a Christian, and this was re-
markable crisis in his life.
He now had an intellectual awaken
ing, and began to hunger for an edu-
cation, and he began to spell out the
short words of his Bible. In time, by
much application, he was able to read
his Bible, and he began to feel that his
life work was to be preacher.
At II years of age he was discov-
cred by Gen. William Booth of the
Salvation Army, and he was soon put
in charge of mission and became
a lieutenant, and became in time the
most successful officer the Salvation
Army ever had.
Gypsy Smith has made four tours
in the United States and has held re-
markable meetings in such cities as
New York, Boston, Denver, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, washington. Ocean
Grove, ETC. He has visited Australia
and has packed for many months the
biggest halls in Adelaide, Melbourne,
Sydney and other cities.
When he left Australia 1000 people
went to the vessel to say farewell.
Gypsy Smith has made a profound
impression upon England, and he is
the most popular preacher in the
British Isles. He has drawn immense
crowds in the historic church in Man.
chester, where the cultivated Dr. Alex
ander McLaren has been the pastor
for one of the most cultured congre-
cations in England for over a genera
ton. He has attracted vast crowds
TO the immense Metropolitan Taber-
nacle in London, where the immortal
Charles H. Spurgeon was pastor so
many years. He has packed, night aft
er night, the biggest churches and hall
in Glasgow, and Edinburgh was stirred
to its depths by his burning eloquence.
One of the greatest honors which
has been bestowed upon Gypsy Smith
was to be elected missioner by the
National Council of the Free Churches
of England.
Pittsburg is making great prepare
lions for the religious campaign under
Gypsy Smith, and the great exposition
building will be prepared for the hold
ing of the meetings.

Strange to say, the most tell-tale
part of the house as regards English
innovations in Germany is the bath

years ago no German ever thought Of

open derision. Now, it is one of the

especially the Berlin nouveaux riches

house that he took a daily tub. This

Amerlcan Prison Methods Best.

DR.. Elizabeth Chesser is advocating
the adoption of American prison meth
DDS among the English women pris-
oners. She points out that in many Of
the American institutions for women
emphasis is most strongly laid on the
reformatory side, and the inmates are
taught useful trades so as to enable
them to earn honest livings on OBJ
tanning their freedom. The social in
stincts Of the prisoners are cultivated
as a strong aid to reformation. Con-
trary to this, DR.. Chesser notes that
in the English prisons women are
shut up in their cells for the greater
portion of the day, the meals are
eaten there, and in some places the
rules forbid the use of knives and
forks and the women are forced to
tear their food like animals.

tic meetings at Pittsburg in January.
Gypsy Smith, as his name suggests,
is a full-blooded gypsy, and his family
history reads like romance. His
real name is Rodney Smith. and he
was born in the tent of his parents
on March 81, 1860, the tent being
pitched at the time in the parish of
Wanstead, near Epping Forest, mile
and a half from the Green Man" Ley
tonstone, England. Most Of the gyp-
sizes can neither read nor write, and
this was the case with his father,
Cornelius Smith, and his mother,
Mary WEIGH. They had no Bible and
could not have read it If they had pos
sessed one. They cared nothing about
reli> 'on and are said to have lived
in heather darkness.
His mother died of smallpox when
he was little child, and it was pa
thetic incident when three members
of the family had smallpox when they
were living in a wagon and one tent,
when the weather was very severe in
March. They were encamped in lit
tie out-of-the-way lane in the country.
There were the father and mother and
five children. Often they were very
poor and did not know where they
would get the next meal.
His father was a popular fiddler, and
with his little lad, Gypsy, he visited
many of the beer shops Of England.
In this rude company the father would
fiddle while the lad would dance, and
then the future evangelist would pass
his little cap for pennies. In this
way, says Gypsy Smith, he was being
prepared to pass the collection basket
when he should become a preacher.
After a time the father and the IA
TIERS two brothers were converted. and
became evangelists among the poor
villagers in the country districts. They
were called the Three Converted Gyp-
~ Brothers" and did much good work

The Christmas Spirit.

Pycherby is a hard-hearted man.
The spirit of Christmas never touches
him, and he always chooses Christmas
eve to give his superfluous employees
notice. His wife, however, is different;
and she entered the dining-room with
a troubled look.
"oh, Gerald" she said, Maud has
just swallowed a quarterl What ever
shall we do?"
Maud, be It said, occupies the posi-
ton of maid-of-all-work to the Pycher-
by household.

The Safest EMPLOYMENT

The person who is least affected by
trade depression and "slumps" in pro-
duction is the peasant proprietor. So
long as his acres produce corn, pota-
toes, peas, beans. fruit. milk and vegs-
tables he is safe enough from hun
ger. His sheep will give wool. and
homespun is excellent wear. His is
the safe, primitive and elemental pro-
fession where a man lives close to the
earth, the great mother-Dublin Irish

instrumental in securing the appropri-

The first person to spend actual
money in the effort to preserve the

was the late Austin Corbin, who many
years ago fenced some 5000 acres at
Blue Mountain Park, N. H.. and Sc

which is now furthered by the Ameri-
can Bison society. This society, OF
which President Roosevelt is honorary
president, and William 7. Hornaday,
director of the New York Geological
park, is president, was founded in
1904, and the Montana bison range is
directly the results of it's efforts.
Details of the management of the
herd in the new national bison range
will be worked out as soon as the herd
is purchased, when the construction
work on fences and buildings will also
be begun.
