SPENT a most delight ful evening with Mrs. James Brown Potter liot longagoather borne in London and bad a long cliat with her about her experiences since sbe left America some rears ago. Mrs. Potter's , London borne is one of the prettiest little cot tages you can imagine. It is situated in St John's "Wood, about an hour's ride by cab from Charine Cross, and her little house is surrounded by beautiful villas and it is curiously furnished with the plunder which Mrs. Potter has gathered from the four quarters of the world. Entering a wide hall you are confronted hy a gigantic black ostrich over six feet high which was shot by one of Mrs. Potter's admirers during her stay in South Africa and presented to her. The parlors at the right are filled with souvenirs from Japan, Australia aud Ceylon. Around the wall near the ceiling there is a frieze of red, black and gold embroidery from Xorth In dia, and upon the sofas are the rich silk stuffs which formed the dresses of Japanese daimois in the past Chairs and tables of rich black teak wood given Mrs. Potter in Canton, China, stand side by side with low seats of ebonv inlaid with mother-of-pearl which she got from the Pashas of Egypt, and the walls are artistically hung with all sorts of curios, some beautiful, some ugly, and each having its story or a reminiscence. A Sword that Severed Pirates' Heads. That long sword over the mantel was brought into Mrs. Potter one day at Canton dripping with human blood. It was used to cut off the beads of 19 pirates by the Chinese executioner during her stay, and inougn -urs. rotter refused the invitation of an English officer to attend the execu tion, she was presented with this trophy bv her friend, who vent alone to the scene and brought this sword afier the beheading as a present to her. 2scar the sword there are other knives of all sorts of shapes, from the Damascus blade to the Turkish scimiter. and in other parts of the room all sorts of weapons, from the old matchlock rifle, which ou still find in the luteriorof Chiua, to the boomerang and the queer shields of the natives of Australia. Both in the par lors and in the diuinu loom there are greet quantics of rare Eastern embroideries, old rugs cover the floors, and the dining chairs ore ot teakwofod from China.

I recited here and in other places before the high caste Indian ladies in their zenanas, and I can tell you that many ot these ladies are ai well educated as we are. They nearly all speak English, and I fonnd that many of them could quote Shakespeare as well as I could. In Bombay, while I was acting there, an unprecedented thing occurred iu the coming to the theater of a large number of these high caste ladies. We had about 20 boxes latticed off for them, and they came into these out of their covered car riages with veils over their faces. When they got into the boxes they were shut out irom tne view ot tne men in tne audieunr- and they peeped at the stage through the holes in the lattice work. While I was in Bombay I visited the Indian Sorosis Club, which has been organized by Mrs. Dr. Kyder an American lady, and which is made up of high caste native ladies, and which is much like ourSorosii in New Xbrk. X made many friends among these ladies and I oorrespond with some of them quite regularly." "How did tou come to go out to India. Mrs. Potter?" I asked. "I was called there from Australia," was the reply. "Mr. Bellew and myselt were offered a very good engagement in Australia when we were in Loudon, and we went there and succeeded bevond our hopes. Now, India, China and Japan get the most ideas and their chnrchly hypoorisy, froze the soul out of me. They found fault with everything I did and I could do nothing right Still I was a success in New York. The people seemed to take to me, and I was more noticed in social circles tbau the other members of my husband's family. This angered Mrs Potter, and she used to teli me that she did not want me known as Mrs. Potter, and that I must tell people that I was not the Mrs. Potter, but Mrs. Jimmy Potter. The truth of it was that I was so persecuted at home that my lite was a constant worry save when I was in society, at.d my husband did nothing to help me. If I talked to him about my troubles I found that my words were re peated to his mother, and she would throw them hack at me. I had no money and be cause I could not dress well I was accused of having bad taste. You can't dress in good stvle without money, but they gave young Jimmy Potter only $1,500 a year on which to live. You might skimp along on that in London, but you can't do it in New' Yore, and so it went on. 1 lelt all tne time that I could make a living for mvself, and I did not see how I could with self-respect continue to lire as I did, and I decided to leave." "I gave the family one chance, however, and gave them a year to think of it I told them if they would give me $7,000 a year to live upon and take young Potter into the THE IDEAL . PARISH. Key.

The Australians are the great est theatergoers in the world." "At Tokio I playpd before the Mikido at his palace and he gave me a Japanese pug dog, which I have named after him. Mutsu- hito. When I played in Tokio we had to keep the play going all day, and we began to act at 7 o'clock in the morning and it was; not until dark till we stopped. In both China and Japan they keep the theaters open all day, and in Tokio the families who came brought their lunches with them, and the seats were nearly all on the floor, the Japs squatting down and sitting either on their heels or cross-legged. The stage was on a pivot ana wnen it was necessary to change from one scene to riother the stage was rolled around and tie scenerv. which business I wonld remain with them; other wise I would cut off my connection with the family and strike out for myself. They laughed at me and at the end of this time I left Bnt I might go on for an hour with instances of this kind.

( Durin; our chat I asked Mrs. Potter to tell me how she came to recite " 'Ostler Joe" that night, and I was surprised to hear her say that she gave it at the request of Secretary Whitney himself. The occasion was a reception at Mr. Whitney's home. Mrs. Potter said: "1 was in do'ubt as to what piece to select, when Secretary Whit ney and Snator Eugene Hale urged me to recite ' 'Ostler Joe,' and it was at their request that I did so. They knew, I am sure now, that it would create a sensation, and it did so, I can assure you." Slip Is Delighted With India.

Christianity is an intensely personal relig ion. The recitation of the Christian creed is bnt a small part of it Attendance upon the meetings of the Christian society is bnt a small part of it Christ Is the very center and heart of Christianity. Whether a man is a good Christian or not depends solely upon his personal relation to Christ "Ye shall be witnesses unto Me," the Mas ter said. See how personal that isl Not unto any metaphysical doctrine about Him, not nnto any ecclesiastical method of approach to Him not unto any of these things does Christ very emphatically ask our loyalty; but solely unto Him. If we love Christ, we will get the theology straight enough. If we love Christ, we will have all the eccle siastical orthodoxy which God asks for the love of Christ, the reverence of the whole mind before Him, the bowing down of the whole heart in adoration to Him that is all one needs. And all that, ono must have in order to be a genuine Christian. Will Be a Fruitful Parish. The parish in which Christ is preached as the first witness-bearers preached Him, which is inspired in every step it takes by love of Christ, which does its work not in any spirit of unworthy competition, nor of unseemly partisan ship; not out of loyalty to the minister, but just out of love for Christ, and for the sole purpose of a'lvancinrr His cause in the world the parish which gen uinely and enthusiastically loves Christ will be a fruitful parish. It will all the time be leading the people out of darkness into the light of the love of Christ A second characteristic of the ideal par ish is that in such a parish Christian truth is set forth in all its true and beautiful proportions. The love of Christ sets things in their proper places and in their real order of im portance wonderfully. I am afraid that Christian truth is sometimes set forth in such mal-proportion, that it is like a pic ture of a man such as an artist mizht naint in some seizure of insanity, in which the man's little finger and his head should be of the same size. We are in danger from what Bishop Potter has called "the infirm ity of a false perspective." We are in danger from temptation of that malicious demon who, in the old days, rubbed some kind of ecclesiastical salve unnn the ith of Pharisees and Scribes, so that mint, anise and cummin looked to be of equal im portance with mercy, judgment and truth. Questioning of the Creeds. Here is ageneration in which problems are clamoring lor answer, tne most im portant and whole thought be ot them, and his whole interest for them, and his whole life given for their service, and there need be no apprehension about such a parish. The Christian spirit ot the parish life will show itself in holy living. Every day everybody is a witness of one sort or another by his life. He witnesses to the true Christ, or to some false conception of Christ, and teaches men so. Every member of a parish represents Christ nmong men, and no amonot of preaching or professing is half so effective a witness to the Master as Christian life. The most persuasive arcrument for the Christian religion is a good Christian. The influence is greater than anybody can measure which is exerted by a parish of good, watchful, loving, devout and Christ like Christians, George Hodges. TEN D0LLAB3 FOB A LIF& How a Stout Englishman Saved a Gambler From a low Death. Paris Correspondence Chicago Herald. At Monte Carlo a few days ago I was witness of the following peculiar incident: I was seated at a table in the cafe of the Paris hotel which adjoins the Casino, with a group of tourists, when a haggard and disheveled Frenchman entered hurriedly. called for a glass of absinthe, and seating himself proceeded io write vigorously on a sheet of note paper in front of him. My attention was attracted by his appearance and evident nervousness, and my interest was deepened when I saw him take from his pocket a gold-plated revolver. He ex amined the weapon very carefully as though he contemplated using it and wanted to see that it was iu proper order, then hastily put in back it his pocket and resumed his writing. By this time the attention of the whole group had been attracted to the man, especially as they saw him remove the re volver from his pocket and toy with it nervously. A stout, florid Englishman sat near me. He leaned over and whispered to me: "My deah fellah, the chap means to do away with himself, I take it?" Then, before I could reply, he quietly turned to the Frenchman and said: "You wish to sell that weapon, sir." The Frenchman drew back in fufnnfn- ment and hesitated as if he had been in sulted. Then there apparently ensued a revulsion of feeling, for a smile over spread his haggard lace as he exclaimed with a shrug of the shoulders: "If vouwish, sir." He placed the revolver mechanically upon the table and picked up the ten gold pieces laid down by the Englishman!. Then he d ank his absinthe with seeming satis faction. He brightened up. His entire manner underwent a change. A few min utes later he walked leisurely ont of th cafe and we saw him again enter the Ca sino. The Englishman and myself con cluded to follow him. We were surprised to nnd on entering that luck was evidently with him, for a small pile of gold and silver lay before him on the roulette table. We learned later from one of the attendants that he had won 1,200 francs. TEE ffOMIS GLDBS. Mist Mary McCancUeu. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

There were a number of the best ladies of Tokio at the theater when I played and they were very anxious to see my clothes aud to examine into their makeup." "Did you go irom Japan to Africa?" I asked. "No," replied Mrs. Potter. "I went first back to London and from there we sailed to the Cape of Good Hope. We arrived there on the 21st of January and two days later we opened the theater in Cape Town with the biggest house ever seen in that city. We played Borneo and Juliet and I was re ceived with a perfect ovation. We played there a month and bad good houses every mgui, auu we mougut we were going to make a lot of money. We had just begun the fifth week, when one Sunday afternoon a fire broke out in the theater and it burned to the cround. Our wardrobes were all consumed and our African plans ruined." At this point the conversation drifted to ity in connection with the camp has been attributed to him, despite the fact that he is now said to be "cradling" sand for th'e munifi cent stipend of fifty cents a day and "found." Birough is a queer sort of a genius. His hair nas never been outraged by the wan ton snip of the scissors during the past palf century. As a consequence, the old man appears to be several inches taller than he really is. He is no dwarf, however,- as wuiioiu nis Hirsute crown ne stands more than six feet high. Somehow or other Bir ough seems to have been conceded to be the bad pan of the camp. He is an original iony-niner, ana since ne urst struct Can fornia he has been engaced exclusively in gulch and gravel mining. Binough Has had many tips and downs in his caieer. His first mining experience was at Yankee Bar, on the middle fork of the American river. He was exception ally fortunate with this claim, and is said in have got out more than $100,000 worth of the precious metal. This soon slipped through his fingers, and he once more shoul dered his prospecting outfit and began to search for another rich mine, which he found in due time in Placer county. A second fortune came quickly and went the same way. Since then Birough has never been able to "strike it rich," but even now, when he is working for fifty cents a day and board, his "sDortiug blood" is as warm as of yore, and whenever pay day comes around he takes a trip to the city and re turns to the camp "dead broke."

Important candi dates in out of the way country districts poorly provided with telegraphic facilities, as Mr. Gladstone's Midlothian district, were accompanied in their totirs by news paper men provided with carrier pigeons. The reporters who went with Mr. Gladstone had a regular "pigeon man" with them. When Mr. Gladstone delivered speeches from his carriage the reporters wrote their reports on thin tissue sheets, "flimsy," and passed them to the pigeon man. The sheets were attached to the pigeons legs by rubber bands and the birds set free. The birds performed excellent service in carrying the uiubbcA m ucii; uu(fiiu ouies or telegraph centers, as they had been trained. On several occasions, however, on fine, warm days, the birds alighted on roofs sun ned themselves for an hour or so, while the pigeon man tried to coax them in so as to file his copy, and the matter they carried had to be left out ot the latest editions.

It is amazing, it is astounding, that any Christian man or body of men, in such a generation, amid such calls for Christian wisdom and Christian work, withsuch great themes crowding irresistibly, it would seem into the thoughts ot all thinking peo ple it is almost incredible that any earnest man should be able to find place or time for interests so little, so insignificant, so con temptible. Think of it! Molehills magni fied into mountains!. The little finger of Christian truth so distorted in men's con ception of it that it seems bigger than all the rest of the body. The great and the-small are distingnished in the ideal parish, and not mistaken one for the other. The essentials in which there must be unity, and the non-essentials in which it is th"e peculiar glory ot our communion to welcome diversity, are dis cerned and divided rightly. And all this will be iust in proportion as neonle pen. uinely love Christ, and are honestly, intelli gently and earnestly loyal to him. A third mark of the ideal parish is that the Christian spirit shows itself in Chris tian work. The EUdence or Works. ' The parish which loves Christ will bear witness to that love by active, Christian service. Pounded in the name ol Him who went about doing good, it will set em phasis, as he did, upon the grace ol helpful ness. The parish will exist for the purpose of uplifting men. The communicants ot it will be banded together to do this blessed, beneficial work. Not one ot them will im agine that his relation to the parish is sat isfied by his appearance at its public wor ship once or twice on Sunday. Not one ot them will imagine that the chief purpose of the parish is to persuade and strengthen him. He will be uplifted by uplifting. Every communicant ot the ideal Chriitian parish can be counted on for faithful Chris tian service. A fourth characteristic of the ideal parish is that the Christian spirit of its people is evidenced by their Christian loving and their Christian living. "Their Master has somehow persuaded them that they are brethren," wrote a pagan satirist centuries ago. In the ideal parish that is true. "Little children," cried the last of the Apostles, as they carried him, too old to walk, into the church at Bphesus, "little children love one another." And that was all the sermon he oreached. just that warning, pleading sentence over and over, it people only genuinely love Christ, there will be no trouble about their loving one another. 'Wonders Worked by Love. "Behold, how these Christiana lova nno another!" That was what men said in those dark days when to be a witness to Christ was olten to bear that witness by a martyr's death. The Church attracted con verts by its wonderful, strong spirit ot love. A parish where the minister loves the people, and the people love the minister, there is almost no limit to what such a parish may accomplish hy its witness bear mg. Only let the minister love the beODle: let him bear tbem on his heart: let their nor snonia tni niwn bility of profitable inventions be under valued. Either may make the professional engineer's fortune, while the lawyer or doe tor has no such opportunity. Neither are brought iuto snch close connection with the actual affairs of business. The discovery of chloroform, ether or ot any of the means of producing anamnesis, undoubtedly the greatest medical discov eries ot tne present time, maue no fortunes for the di'coverers; indeed the names of these benefactors to humanity are almost forgotten. But the names o'f the great engineers who not only have benefited the world, but have made large fortunes, are household words. As an instance of what we have said, the words of an eminent and wealthy mining engineer may be quoted: "I have practiced my profession for 25 years," said he, "and my receims from nm. fessional fees have been in the neighbor hood of only $150,000, while my expenses for I have kept my accounts exactly, have been within a few thousand dollars o'f this." There are many engineers remarkably successful financially and professionally who could duplicate this experience, and who, like this one, are yet well satisfied with the net results ot their profession. There is no profession which offers so many oppor tunities to the aspirant as that of the en gineer. WOMEN A3 C0MP0SEBS, The tourists have taken up the study of liussia for the year.

But in instrumental performance she cannot for a moment compare with him, while as a composer she is nowhere. The repertoire of music, form the dawn of the art to the present oay, owes simply nothing to her. Considering the time she has spent over it, her failure to envolve new harmonies, or even new melodies, is one of the most extra ordinary enigmas in the history of the fine arts.

The inference implied by the negative an swer to such a question seems simply this; That in the higher efforts of mind even in those where the admixture of an pmnHmml element, as in music, might be supposed to give her the advantage woman is interior to her male counterpart, and cannot, by any educational forcing system, be made equal to him, deficient as she is in the phy siological conditions of ideoplastic power. DEADLY POISOS IN ABBOWS. Bccent Investigations Go to Show That It Contains Marshy Eartlu London Lancet. M. Dantec has examined and experi mented with the arrow poison used bv the natives of the New Hebrides. He 'finds that it contains neither vegetable poison nor serpent virus, but consists of earth im pregnated with vegetable matter taken from marshy places and containing Pasteur's vibrion sentique or bacillus of malignant oedema and also the bacillus of tetanus. If the arrows have been kent a Ion? tim or have been much exposed to the sun, the vibrion septique may have been destroyed. The danger then is from tetanus. When the arrows have been freshly prepared and the vibrion septique is still active, a wound from them causes death in a guinea pig from septicaemia in irom 12 to 15 hours: tetanus, which takes longer than that period of time to develop, does not under these circumstances show itself. It is in teresting to remark that the horse is un known in these islands, consequently the theory of the equine origin of tetanus would seem to be negatived by these re A unique feature of the New York Work ing Women's Society is that it Is mainly sun ported by the contributions of capitalists. Mrs. Courtlandt Palmer, wife of a New York landed proprietor, and Mrs. C. P.

Mr. George Westinghouse has been mak ing figures in the Balroad Gazette as to checking railway trains rnnning at a high speed. He finds that at 60 miles an hour the reduction of speed with the present hand-brake system is not over two miles for each second the brake is applied. At 90 nines an nour, witn perfect brakes acting on all the wheels, it would take ten seconds to bring the speed down to 60 miles an hour. Some Philological Facts. "We are told that the English of our day is considered by a high anthority almost perfect, alike for the purpose of the orator, the philosopher, the lecturer and the poet. The purest English is said to be spoken in Lincolnshire. There are four times as many words in our language as there are in the French, yet a philologist estimates that the coinage of new words in our tongue goes on at the rate of 100 annually.
