incidences of the spiritual and physical
world are profoundly suggestive. They
hus into reverence every thoughtful
mind Only the Grass and the ignorant
disregard them or treat them lightly.
Gods bells all chime In tune. There
Is such thing as a divine concatena-
tion OF events. God was working In
Caesarea and in Joppa. The same
omniscient and omnipresent Spirit was
moving upon the hearts OF two men
whose lives had never before impigned.
The miracle Is as common as life.
why Is 1t that one spark OF love lights
the heart of any two persons whose
lives have been lived in different
spheres? Why is II that men with the
same purpose. working for apart. are
ultimately brought together? 1t Is diff
fioult for a reverent spirit to escape
the conviction that God Is managing
his own world.
The preparation OF Peter was inter-
esting. All unwittingly he had been
made ready for a new experience. He
was lodging with a tanner. a man
whose trade made him an outcast in
Jewish eyes. Many of Peters preju-
dices had been severely jolted. Sub
sequently he could see. as most of US
can see. how inexplicable past expert
ences have led up to a great present.
Fastidious Peters vision was Of 3
sheet let down from Heaven contain
ing all manner OF living creatures,
upon which he was hidden to dine. AS
a correct Jew, he revolted, because he
had never touched food that was cere-
moniously unclean. The average Ameri-
can cannot quite appreciate Peters
state OF mind. nor the fact that the
same conditions exist today. I thought
OF Simon Peter when one day. in the
holy city of Benares In india. Hindu
merchant waved me frantically away
from his food bazaar lest my profaninR
hands should touch and contaminate
the ceremonially clean food that was
his merchandise.
Peter was reminded that man-made
laws shrivel into lnsignificance when
God speaks. A distinguished Southern
gentleman went to Africa as a mission
airy, and as his companion he had a
negro Christian In this country. they
both sedulously observed the social
HisaEes that obtain in their community

psriha Bsttina.

During the close of the eighteenth
century the craze for gambling in Eng
land roso to an extreme. At certain
notorious clubs every incident was
made the subject Of a wager. and thou
sands changed hands over the veriest
trile. A certain Mr.. Blake made him
self notorious by betting s1,500 that
man could live twelve hours under
water. He hired a daring fellow. and,
purchasing an old ship, they were
sunk together by way Of settling the
bet. Neither ship nor man reappeared.
so Mr.. Blake had to pay up. The IA
nous Earl Of Carlisle once staked
5000 ON a single card at faro. On
one occasion at Brooks, another noted
gambling club. Lord Robert Spencer
lost the last shilling Of the fortune
which be had obtained from his broth
er, the Duke Of Marlborough, and
General Fitzpatrick was in the same
condition. The twain combined, and,
borrowing a sum Of money, they open
ed a faro bank They had a run Of
luck, and Lord Spencer's share Of the
proceeds came TO 100000. He pock-
eted this cash and never gambled
again.-London Tatler.

DANCING TOTS In
INDOOR CARNIVAL
Pupils of Miss MCCIafferty
Pleasantly Entertain at
the GaFriCk

The annual May carnival of Miss Nc
Clafferty's School Of Dancing was given
In the Garrick Theatre last night with
noteworthy success. The carnival was
very largely attended. The program
was one Of the most elaborate ever
given by the school.
The opening number was a folk dance
by the youngest children of the school.
A "Toymaker's Panto Ballet" was
clever little pantondme. George Alex
ander. a small boy. interpreted the role
OF toymaker with cleverness. and sew
eral little girls represented fairies and
dolls. a Baby Gavotte" was an artis-
tic little scene. the tots wearing pow
dered wigs and colonial costumes The
gypsy interlude was decidedly pictur-
esque. Walter Foreacre sang cleverly
III / Had a Thousand Lives 10 Live
and was encored. A Grecian dance was
given by girls Of Is years Of age. Miss
Helen Sewer sang Garden Of Dreams, -
in this number.
The audience enjoyed hearty laugh
during the act by the County Lads
and Lassies" The feature was the sing
ing and acting of "Gee, 1 Wish j Had
q Girl" by Masters Paul Burnham and
Murray Hanson. The little folk danced
and played ring games in true typical
style. The "Spoonlight Octette" was
cleverly given by a group of young
men and women. The song was catchy
and seemed TO please the audience.
Master George Alexander scored a hi'
in a Scotch low song. This was followed
by dance of the Highlanders. Mention
in detail cannot be given all the num-
bers, since all were delightful The rose
fete was a dream in pink and the back
ground presented oowers OF roses, while
the children represented pink roses, and
carried garlands. The crowning feature
of this was a charming solo by Miss
Margaret Braunstein entitled, ''rhs
Nightingale" AS usual, the popular
young singer was one of the interest
events of the program. Her voice Is
much improved and her personality more
attractive than ever before. She also
sang the final song. 'The Message OF
the Red. Red Rose" The Kerry dance
appealed to all no had a fondness fol-
the Emerald Isle. It was a picturesque
dance and Miss Katharine Hession as
sisted with good effect
