HER BONNET. Caught Aflre While the Speaker Was Addressing an Audience. York Sun: At a mecting of the oclety for Political Study yesterday te bonnet worn by the speaker of the Gay, Mrs, Pelle Gray Taylor, caught fire fron: a drop-light on the speaker's desk, and had it not been for the pres- ence of mind and fleet-footedness cl Mrs. Almon Hensley would have been totally destroyed. Mrs, Taylor sald alterward that there was no insurance on the bonnet, although there were several other things, including gold braid, blue velvet and black ostrich tips. When the accident happened the rpeaker was prefacing her talk, which was cn woman's Intuition, with a few remarks sbout five-minute papers, she haying been asked to prepare ome of Skat length, “A loag, dull paper is intolerable ia this rapid history-making age,” she wag saying, “while a long, good paper has so much in it that you wish to CO me { “Oh! Oh!" “Gracious me!” "Fire! Fire!” cried feminine voices from ev- cry part of the room, and the one man present looked at Mrs. Taylor's flam- ing headgear helplessly. He sald aft- erwards that he might have known what to do if a woman had been in danger in & burning building, but that he was absolutely paralyzed at sight of a burning bonnet. But no ons het- ter knows the value of a fine bonnet than Mrs. Hensley, ard before the long man had recovered sufficiently to open his mouth she rushed to the platform and smothered the flames, “What is it?’ asked the speakor, calmly, when the danger was passed, “Your best bonnet on fire,” exclaim ed many volces, “Well, for once I've created a sen sation,” retorted Mrs. Taylor. ‘For once I've been actually brilliant.

Subject: *{ he Acidities of Life” The Cup of Vinegar Which Christ Took is Typ. eal of Life's Bitterness-—This is the Lot of the Distressed, Text: “When Jesus therefore had re. eelved the vinegar.” John xix., 80. The brigands of Jerusalem had done their work. It was almost sundown, and Jesus was dying. Persons In crucifixion often lingered on from day to day, orying, beg- Ring, coursing, but Christ had been ex- hausted by years of maltreatment, Pillow- less, poorly fed, flogged —as bent over and tied to un low post His bare back was in. flamed withthe scourges intersticad with pieces of lead and bone—and now for whole ours the weight of His body hung on duli- oate tendons, and, according to custom, a violent stroke under the armpits had been given by the executioner. Dizzy, nausea- ted, feverish—a world of agony is com- pressed in the two words, “I thirst!” © skies of Judma, let a drop of rain strike on His burning tongae! O world, with rolling rivers and sparkling lakes and spraying fountains, give Jesus something to drink! If there be any pity in earth or heaven or hell, let it now be demonstrated in behalf of this royal sufferer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem used to have a fund of money with which they rovided wine for those peopls who died n eructfixion, a powerful opiate to deaden the pain, but Christ would not takes it, He wanted to die sober, and so He refused the wine. But afterward they go to a cup of vinegar und soak a sponge in it and put it on a stiok of hyssop and then press it against the hot lips of Christ, You say the wine was an anmsthetic and intended to re. leve or deaden the pain, But the vinegar was an {asule, In some lives the saccharine seams to predominate. Life is sunshine on & bank of Sowers, A thousand hands to elap ap- oval. In December orin January, look- ag soross their table, they ses all their fam¥ly present. Health rablound. Skies flamboyant, Day: resilient. Bat fn a great many cases there are not so many sugars as acids, The aunoyances and the vexations and the disappolotments of life | overpower the successes, There is a gravel in almost every shoe, An Arabian legend says that thers was a worm in Solomon's staff, gnawing its strength away, and there Is a weak spot in every earthly support that a man leans on. King George of Eagland forgot all the grandeurs of his throne because one day, in an inter. view, Beau Brummel called him by his first name and addressed him as a servant, ery- ing, “George, ring the bell!" Miss Lang- don, honored all the world over for her poetic genius, is so worried over the | evil reports set afloat regarding her that she is found dead, with an empty bottle of prussic acid in her hand. Goldsmith said that his iife was a wretched being and that all that want and contempt could bring to | it had been brought and eries out: “What, | then, is there formidable in & Jali?” Cor. | reggio’s fine painting is bung up for & | tavern sign.

"When Jesus therefore had re. ceived the vinegar!” It is absurd to suppose that a man who has aiways been well can sympathize with those who are sick, or that one who has al. | ways bean honored can appreciate the sor- | row of those who are despised, or that one | who has been born to a gréat fortune can | understand the distress and the straits of those who ars destitute. The fact that Christ Himself took the vinegar makes Him able to sympathize to-day and forever with | the sharp acids of this life. He took the vinegar. In the first place, there was the sourness of betrayal. The treachery of Judas burt | Christ's feelings more than all the friend. | ship of His disciples did Him good. You have | had many friends, but there was one friend upon whom you put especial stress, You | feasted him. You loaned him money. You | befriended him in the dark passes of life, when he sapecially needed a friend. After. | ward he turned upon yeu, and he took ad- | vaotage of your former intimacies, He wrote against you. He talked against you, | Hes misroscopized your faults. He flung | contempt at you, when you oughtto have | received nothing but gratitude, you could not siesp at nights, went about with a sense of having been | At first, | Then you | stung. That difficulty will never be healed, | for, though mutual friends may arbitrate | in the matter until you shall shake hands, | the old cordiailty will never come back, Now I commend to all such the sympathy of a betrayed Christ. Why, they sold Him | for less than our $30! They all forsook Him | and fled. They cut Him to the quick. He | drank tbat cup to the dregs. He took the | vibegar, There is also the sourness of pain.

There is no sign of destitution about Jeupluasent appearance and a cheerful ome for you--but God only knows what a time you bare bad to manags your private fonsnces, Just as the bills rum up the Wages seem to run vown.

Whether | I will be calm or excited, wheter I wit] be filied with reminiscence or with auticipa- | tion, I cannot say. But come to the point I must and you must.

A great many men tumble through the gates of the future, as it were, and we do not know where they have gone, and they only add gloom mystery to the passage, but Jesus Christ so mightily stormed the gates of that future world thal they have never sines been closely shut.
