She arose and tlmidly climbed out
on further jutting bank of the clouds.
She looked down. A gray haze was
ushering in the coming night and
forging into one great blur all the
countless twinkling lights. Suddenly
she let herself go and began to slip
slip.
And then she found herself floating,
slowly and gently, downward. Larg-
er and more distinct grew the great
stars below, until they finally resolved
themselves into broad belts of illumi-
nation; a faint hum intensified into a
mighty roar, and what had looked like
strange dun colored beehives from
above became smoke discolored hous-

left frightful odor in its wake.
Swarms of mortals filled the roof and
inside and were constantly making
their way up and down the narrow
stairway.
Pierette chose one of the most bril-
liantly lighted thoroughfares in which
to alight. Her feet first touched the
earth directly in front of one Of the
great show windows, through whose
transparent protection she gazed in
rapture at the dazzling array of femi-
nine apparel. It must be from a place
like this that those gorgeous costumes
worn by the women she had watched
were taken. She fairly gloated over
the display of soft silks and shining
satins and the glittering sequined
gowns. All! if she could just for once
don one of those exquisite frocks.

There-that one with the white tulle
embroidered in silver, and the sea-

No one seemed to see or notice her,
and then she remembered she had
about her the cloak that rendered her
invisible to mortal gaze. She slipped
into the shop just as the last attendant
was leaving. With trembling hands
she tore the shining frock and coat
from the window and clad herself in
the shimmering mass. Over all she
flung her own cloak and then went out
again. Whither now?
She ran lightly along the same
street, which soon brought her to q

Alaska a Good Investment.

1t is just little more than 40 years
since Gen. Grants administration
closed deal by which Russia ceded
Alaska to the United States. The
price was $7600,0O0, and the Czar took
about half the amount in old gun
boats, OF which we had surplus left
over from the war. Since then we
have taken ont of the territory pro-
ducts amounting to about s327,000,0 900,
or SS,175,000 per year, a good bit over
100 per cent per annum on the cost.
AS we got little profit during the
first 20 years, we are now taking out
something like 200 per cent of the
original cost But as Alaska contains
a timber supply to last for centur-
les, if properly taken care Of, and
coal to last for years to come, the
bargain was a good one. The fisher

sources of Alaska may be made per-

Medical Advertising in Japan.

In future no licensed medical prac-

medical treatment or the history or
success of such methods. Doctors and
dentists connected with hospitals or
engaging in general practice will not
be allowed to advertise any infOrmar
tion beyond that indicating their de-
grees and specialties. In this re-
spect the ordinance approximates per-
haps more TO the American idea Of
what is legitimate, for it is quite

containing the name, address and
telephone number of some practition-

Two tiny glasses of a pale amber
liquid, in which bright red cherry
bobbed merrily, were placed before
them.

held the miniature goblet to her lips.

restraining hand. Just one sip of

Plerrette obediently relinquished the

mating monocles. She paused for Z
moment In front OF one of these hous-
es and as she did so her own cloak
slipped from her shoulders to the
ground. She stopped to pick 1t up,
when a voice said, "Allow me-" and
turning, Pierrette looked straight into
the eyes of one of the men she had
been admiring in the window
Pierrette smiled sweetly at him.
She had no conception of her exquisite
ethereal loveliness as she stood full In
the food Of illumination from the un-
curtained windows.

Pierrette laughed outright at this.

The man drew step nearer and re-
garded her more closely. He looked
puzzled. But surely you are not
here alone-and like this?"
"Oh, but l am" returned Pierrette
with glee.
The man did not respond at once,
but continued to regard her perplexed-
ly. When he spoke 1t was with a GER
tain difidence that sat upon him with
an unaccustomed air.
"Would-would you care to come
and dine with me?" he asked at
length.
DO you mean in one of those beau
tiful big hotels, with all the lights and
music?" demanded Pierrette, her eyes
sparkling with anticipation.
"Why, of course. Wherever you

But | don't know. You choose:
shall be sure to be pleased wherever

Presently an electric brougham that
had been waiting in the shadow, drew
up at the curb and the man put Pier
rette carefully within 1t and then
placed himself beside her. This was
another of those mysterious vehicles
that ran without visible means, but
this one had no stairway outside 1t
and it went quietly and with no dread
full odor.
When they were seated at a delight
full little flower-laden table in screen
ed corner and the silentfooted waiter
had been given the order, the man
turned and looked long and earnestly
at Pierrette before speaking.
Pierrette blushed and hung her head
under the close scrutiny, although she
was pleased and greatly excited.

there must be some magic power in

BIZ BERNARD FISCHER.

Berlin, July 3-The Lutheran Church
In Germany Is finally compelled TO
face a problem which its dignitaries
have too long evaded For many years
past 1t has been evident that the
clergy were losing touch with the men
in their parishes. not so much perhaps
in rural as in urban districts. but no
particular heed was paid to the mat
ter. Gradually. however, the apathy
on the part of the working men to the
church developed into a more pro-
nounced feeling. Whether this feel
ing has been produced by the spread
of Socialist views or whether the
Socialist leaders fostered a feeling
which they saw had taken root is a
mooted question, but 1t Is certain that
there now exists within the Socialist
Party a movement which. its public
lists say, sis resulting in very ef-
ficIent secession from the church"
The movement Is proving to be SO
very effective that 1t formed one OF
the chief topics of discussion at the
recent Synod Of the Berlin dioceses.
Curiously enough, 1t Is the effect OF
the movement on the church finances
that has given 1t Importance in the
eyes of the church dignitaries. Any
person who signs a declaration to the
effect that he does not belong to the
church is exempt from payment Of
church tax. which Is still levied In Ger
many, and, moreover, the fees that he
would hitherto have paid for the
baptism of his children or the burial
of the members of his family are lost
to the church.
At the Synod above mentioned It
was stated that the number OF per-
sons in Berlin alone who have formally
severed their connection with the
Lutheran Church was 3.766 In the year
1906. 3,S02 in the year 1907, and g.
ll8 in the first ten months or the year
1908 This remarkable increase was
deliberately ascribed by the speakers
to Socialist agitation. and a long de-
bate ensued on the question of the
measures that should be adopted to
stem the tide of secession. 1t was
ultimately resolved that the public
should be reminded that a person who
sewers his connection with the church
"a not only relieved from the necessity
of paying church taxes, but forfeits
the right to have his children baptized.
the right to be married in church, and
the right to be buried in consecrated
ground by a Christian minister. The
Synod also decided to recommend the
local ecclesiastical authorities to ex-
clude the bodies Of such seceders from
their chnrchyards.

and that many persons outside the

the churches pursue reactionary poll
tics; and CD the circumstances is he
thinks, gradually being realized that
only a minority of people really feel
the need of religion. Herr, Gohre con-
tends that the ultimate cause of the
secession movement Is thus to be found
In the whole intellectual atmosphere

OF the Socialist party also breathe.
The Most Difficult Task.
A paper was read on the subject of
the goth Evangelical Social Congress-.
held this week at Heilbronn. by DR..
DreWS, professor OF 4HeolokJs hIld an
eminent authority on the history OF the
Lutheran Church. Professor Drews
said: The most difficult task Of the
Lutheran Church at present Is to full
fill it's duty to the working class; one
section of the church keeps aloof from
the people, and tho other section
threatens to become estranged from
them. Many persons console them
selves with the belief that the anti
religious and anti-church agitation of
Socialism Is merely a phase in the
of the people. but when
a flood subsidies It is always found that
much damage has been done which was
not at first noticeable.
Professor Drews stated that the work
ing class has become permeatej with
views and ideas and that
the church has failed to underse4nd or
to concern itself with the discomfort
thereby produced. The Marxists. he
said, regarded the church as already
dead: the Socialism OF the present day
does not know what religion really
is; 1t is fighting an unknown enemy.
He mentioned that through the in
fiuence OF the deceased Dr. Stocker the
members of the church realized that
the policy pursued towards the work
ing class was wrong. and began to in
terest themselves In the questions Of
the day but in the year 1898 a decree
OF the Supreme Church Council forbade
