FROM PULPIT TO STAGE.

We fear that the Washington clergy
man vino has resigned from, 'he
ministry in order to become an actor,
has made serious mistake. The great
majority OF actors AMI actresses work
hard for poor pay. under trying con
IitionS. and accomplish little for them
selves or for the world at large. The
lura Of the foot.lsh,S and the apparent
ylamor of stage life attract thousands
who have little or no aptitude Tor the
work and who wear out their lives IN
zhe vain cndeavOr to yin fame anu
fortune. Only = very small proportion
aucceed in achieving either. Even oi

a,utoriety. not tew find themselves
sooner or later in the bankrupt courts.
Unfortunately, the exigencies and
tsmptations Of an actors life are such
as 10 initiate agains, those domestic
virtues which bring the greatest con
tentment to the human soul. That
7here are many exceptions does not
hlter the rule.
The stage has important educational
functions. 1t has the opportunity OF
instructins and elevating the masses,
and, even when it merely thrills OF
arrouseS them, it serves 10 keep them
in good humor with their lot. 1et il

TAX RATE SETTLED.

After = most remarkable course OF
mistakes AID t.cllni'alisies the city
fathers last night settled their differ
cnccs and aduntcl he tax rate for the
next year.
The new rate by taking advantage
Of the discount, which most taSpayerS
do, will bring it down To ST.. ID on the
81 900, while thu rate last year was
$40. with 4 discount Of 6 per cent.
which made it $l7.SG on the ST 900.
The saving to taxpayers on the 81 ,ouO
will, therefore, be IS cents. When the
increased state assessment is taken IN
10 consideration it will big increase TO
some while many people whose assess
ments have cot been raised will pay
less taxes.
Taking all things into consideration
it is a vcrr fair rate and will undoubt-
edly meet with the approval OF the
people. The city will receive approx
imatrlv $l4 900 more revenue next
year than il received This year AMI Will
therefore be- enabled 10 make improve

Hot Air.

The sirocco blows hot from the high
lands Of north Africa and falls on the
Mediterranean as far as Malta. The
salano jumps like windy 6reball
from the heat of the Sahara desert
and lands flatfooted in Spain. The
harmattan blows hot Sahara dust far
into the Atlantic and gives nosebleed
and makes skin and lips parch and
crack. while furniture and ship tim
bers groan and crack and scream In
an agony Of droughty despair The
khasmin blows Sahara's ancient dust
into Egyptian eyes every t1fty days.
The pamperos periodically blow down
into Buenos Aires out Of tho unex-
plored desert highlands Of Rrazil. and
the blowing causes suicides md mur.
ders to be more common n'd wounds
to break out afresh. with heavy
death rate. Pamperos pass away In
second. leaving the air fine. -Ex-
