The small boy’s mother was the only one who sat unmoved, while the small boy himself—most unwelcome addition to the informal afternoon tea—gleefully galloped around the circular table, daintily spread with silver and china, and towered over by a cut-glass lamp. “I’'s a squircus pony!” shrilled the infant, joyously, as he tossed his flaxen- locks and twinkled his be- socked legs with ever-increasing speed. “Mercy! Hell have the lamp over!” shivered a nervous young wo- man, as the human gyroscope stumb- led over the edge of a rug, clawed at the table for support, then tri- umphantly continued circling.

Kaiser Wants Americans, To what extent Kaiser Wilhelm recognizes the benefit to Berlin of the presence there of American tou- rists and their wives was told by Louis Adlon, son of the proprietor of the handsome new Hotel Adlon, in No. 1 Unter den Linden, when he said that it was owing only to the support of the Kaiser that the hotel was built. Adlon sailed in the Kron- prinzessin Cecilie yesterday, but be- fore the vessel departed he spoke of his observations of hotel life in the United States. Because his father’s hotel was built on the site of a palace five centfiries old, many among the German nobility viewed it with in- dignation. The result was an appeal to the Kaiser. It was pointed out to him, however, that many Ameri- cans remained away from Berlin be- cause of the old-fashioned hotels there. He decided it would be a good thing for the city to have an up-to-date hotel, and then the Adlon was built. To show that he ap- proved of it, the Kaiser attended the opening ceremonies. Ambassador Hill has taken up temporary quar- ters in the Hotel Adlon and there the Kaiser has visited him. Adlon en- thusiastically praised the American hotels. He said that in everything except the table they were far ahead of the European houses. He said all the big hotels in this country em- ployed German or French chefs, but that German hotels took American bartenders.—New York Press. : Eg — Trousers Used by Horsewomen.

E. Church Sunday morning, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. William J. Thompson, preached on ‘“The’ Ascen- sion.” The text was from Luke 24:51: ‘““And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them and carried up to heaven.” Dr. Thompson said: Concerning the crucifixicn the Scripture gives month, day, hour, participants—miuch minutiae. Con- cerning the resurrection no mention is made of the first heart-beat, only the fact of the empty tomb and the risen -Saviour. Still meagre is the account of the ascension. The length of these narratives in- dicates our limited knowledge. Death so common would have ‘fullest men- tion. The resurrection, contrary to all experience, would admit simply the fact supported by ‘infallible signs.” The ascension, contrary: to the one law we believe to prevail throughout the universe—gravitation —and the entrances into the spirit realm which baffles the imagination of embodied spirits, would call for the least mention. Their importance, however, is in- versely as the length of the narra- tive. Death in itself is failure, the resurrection declares Jesus to be the Son of God with power. The ascen- sion to the right hand of God pro- claims Him the ever-reigning su- preme sovereign. The . eagle-winged tyrant, death, spreads over the whole earth, palls God’s last and best creation in his insatiable conquest; wrenches from the human soul the organ of all its intelligent and spiritual expressions —the body, and dooms it with “dust to dust.” Jesus Christ, the mighty Prince of Life, conquered this conqueror! Our loudest Easter hosannas are to His praise for this unrivaled achievement. This triumph, how- ever, mighty as it is, is but a part of His life. Like the figures of arith- metic, depending for their richness on what follows, so the glories of Easter depend on what follows in the life of Christ. Napoleon Bonaparte used Maren- go, Austerlitz and cther victories as stepping stones to reach the dizzy heights of military power; where he swayed the sceptre from the Baltic to Southern Italy, and allied contig- uous nations as vassals or dependent states. He stood with his armies upon the Alps and exclaimed: ‘“Han- nibal is surpassed!” He led these soldiers beneath the pyramids ‘with “Forty centuries look down upon you.” France saluted him with: “Sire, your greatness is like that of the universe.” If Napoleon had died before June 18, 1815, a glamor of glory would have encircled his whole career. But his life after this, with the defeat of Waterloo and five and one-half years in exile, leveled the summit of his greatness. We are not without concern for our ex-presidents, lest some ill deed militate against their record in the high office. Some grains of comfort are extracted from our three mar- tyred presidents, all of whom were snatched from us in the zenith of their fame, a fact which shed glory over their whole lives. Jesus Christ disarmed death of its mortal sting and led the powers of darkness cap- tive. Yet some subsequent event could detract from the glory of this high triumph. So the setting of Christ in our faith hinges upon what follows His death and resurrection. If Jesus had remained in Jerusa- lem, as His disciples hoped for, ves- sels from the four ends of Christen- dom would have congested the ports nearest that city with deputations to visit Jesus as judge, divider, benefac- tor, thereby weakening their faith and enervating them in working out their own salvation. The most stal- wart fibre in Christian manhood comes from largest faith and zeal in self-culture, and this cowld not be favorably produced everywhere with Jesus 1ocalized. Men everywhere should have equal divine assistance in having right hearts, speaking ac- ceptable words, and doing justly. To this end Jesus must be spiritually present in the world and consequent- ly bodily withdraw. While the lus- tre of Jesus would have shone un- had He remained on earth, yet to reach His maximum effulgence it was expedient that He go away. Man's complete salvation and the glory of Christ concurred in this departure. Our faith is vitally involved in His destination. His departure. The farewell ad- dress of George Washington was im- portant in his estimation as well as in that of his soldiers and posterity. A farewell address would bs valu- able and fitting for all our presidents to close their administration. Our farewells are the utterances of our best selves. This is foreshadowed by its typical formulas. ‘“Fare-ye- well.” “God be with you,” abbrevi- ated to ““Good-by.” The farewell of Jesus has -the same relative impor- tance. He takes leave of the world that clamored for His blood and had glee over its shedding. Mark you, “He lifted up His hands and blessed them.’ Thus His valedictory is in the same exalted level as all that pre- cedes and our faith holds high in the risen and departed Christ. He departs not in darkness but in the light of day; not in the valley but from Olivet’s top; not alone but in the view of His disciples. He had withd-<=wn many times before, this time He ascends. “While He blessed them, He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.” Shortly after Stephen, the first martyr, looked up and sa3l: “Behold, I see the heav- ens opened and the Son of Man at the right hand of God.” Some time after Paul had a vision of Jesus in heave; likewise did John. Satan, the defiler, was hurled headlong from heaven. Nothing that defileth en- tereth therein. Elijah, a pattern of piety, whose mantle holy men covet- ed, the chariot of the Lord carried thither, and Enoch, who walked with God, was taken there. Jesus ascend- ed to heaven, the abode of the good { for ail ages. | ‘Furthermore, ths whole civ: = brethren. aa of prophets, sages, kings and mighty men of God, are in that great com- pany whose number no man can num- ber, yet Christ sits at the right hand | with a name above every name and all powers and principalities at His feet. This exaltation — His through all time—enriches all His past, makes the land on which He lived to us holy, His precepts priceless and gives the largest satisfaction and fullest fruition tc our. faith. - The ascension of Christ pays honor to the body. The third article of our religion is “Christ did truly rise again from the dead and took again His body, with all things appertain- ing to the perfection of man’s na- ture, wherewith He ascended into heaven and there sitteth until He return to judge.all men at the last day.” Pestilences are not from Him. Disease, making the body, as Pope declares his, an ‘“‘apparatus of tor- ture,” is no more from God than the disease of the soul. Jesus cured both and inflicted neither. The body designed to be an instrument of righteousness must be strong. To be strong it must be nourished by pure air, pure water, pure food. Even if these be secured by legislation, the legislation should compass the hygiene of homes, offices and facto- ries, the prohibition both of overtax- ing hours for women and the slaying of childhood upon Mammon’s altar. The wounded are to be healed. More, the road between Jerusalem and Jeri- cho so patrolled as to make wounds from robbers impossible. Not only is disease to be cured, but the cause is to be removed. Christ’s ascension confirms hopes of immortality. We have a twofold origin. First, the physical, from Adam. Like myriads of his de- scendants who have lived before us, we see how our bodies will dissolve into the dust. Our spiritual commu- nion with God the Father, our pass- ing from death to life in love for the This is our creation anew in the second Adam, Christ Jesus. As that which bore the image of the first Adam follows Him, so that in us ‘which bore the image of the sec- ond Adam will follow Him. If there were no continuation of this life after death, Christ says: “I would have told you so.” No pro- visas concerning its terribleness—‘‘I would have told you so.” “I go to prepare a place for you: that where I am, there ye may be also.” Christ's ascension describes our pathway be- yond the grave, and where He is, all the spirits of just men made perfect will be also. The ascension of Christ gives most emphatic confirmation of our hope of the life beyond. Joy from thé ascension of Christ. These men had parted from their teacher, the prince among teachers, the friend of friends. His hands would no more be laid upon them in benediction. No more would His oice be heard. They were the suf- erers of the most irreparable loss. Thus bereft, their task was to dis- ciple all nations composed of hostile peopled, eager to persecute them with death torture. Oh, the agony of their despair! Yet they “returned to Jerusalem with great joy.” . Abun- dant must have been their ascension joy te have absorbed their grief. His words to them were ‘‘all power is given to mre.” Wickedness would be annihilated by His omnipotent grace. The assurance of the fruition of your supreme desire gives great joy. who were trained by Him who is full of grace and truth would be the de- struction of evil and the enthrone- ment of good. The assurance of this consummation by Him of almighty power filled them with joy. ? Joy comes from power. Govern- ment is said to have its origin in man’s desire to govern rather than to be governed. The successful can- didate flushed with power is joyful. All the power of our ancestors meets in us and must obey our be- hest which may be ‘thus far.” The Dark Ages said this and arrested pro- gress, or if further, which we of the twentieth century say, the labors of the race are transmitted to the en- richment of posterity. These dis- ciples tense with the power of Him by which they can do all things, were joyful. But when it is from the power that turns carnal kingdoms into those of eternal love, its inten- sity and duration is fullest. This was the source of the disciples’ »Y. Jay ‘‘continually praised and blessed od.” . ‘We may be the. depository of the spiritual power of twenty Christian centuries. We may exercise it to make the world purer, juster, holier. The pathway of the ascended Christ may be the trial of our own spirits to ineffable glory. Under the do- minion of these convictions as it is our privilege and duty to be, we ex- perience with the disciples the great ascension joy and will like them ‘continually praise and bless God.” iapee~attne Rivet steeasee—— Broken Things.

Like thousands of other well-bal- anced vacationists, the gentleman in question selected the White Moun-! tains as his objective point, and reached them over a route which, he | | | claims, was never traversed through-' nut its entire length by any other hu- man being. . Going from the modern Athens by rail to Rochester, N. H., he walked from the latter place to Alton Bay, on the southern shore of incompar- able Lake Winnipesaukee. From there r | of self-sacrifice. There is one summer city in the White Mountains whose population expands to nearly 10,000 during the height of the vacation season; and there are days when as many as 500 tourists ascend to the summit of stately Mt. Washington, 6300 feet above the sea, on the famous Cog railway, to be torn by that awful mental conflict that always must be fought by the man or woman who has to decide whether it shall be din- ner indoors or scenery outdoors. And what an appetite ‘that mountain air does give one! Once, during an ocean voyage, I elected to forego my dinner in order to enjoy an unusually fine sunset. As the barometer falls with the ap- proaching storm, so did I fall in the estimation of my traveling compan- ions as the result of that little bit If I had but a half hour on the summit of Mt. Washing- ! ton, and it was a question of dinner | or view, I would decide in the seli- HB | same way, however. Profile Lake, Franconia Notoh, he took the steamer, ‘Mt. Washing- ton’ (scores of readers of this paper will recall with pleasure a similar experience), across the lake to Cen- tre Harbor. Next day he tramped through Moultonboro and Tamworth (the “Grover Cleveland country’), to Wonalancet, annexing at that. place a local guide, who safely piloted him over Mt. Wonalancet and Mt. Paugus,y. two of the lesser hills of the White Mountains, to picturesque Passacona- way village, where he changed to a second guide. The new pathfinder, an experienced hunter, led his ambitious employer over the mountains and through dense woods that have been wholly innocent of roadway or trail since they were created, eventually strik- ing in at Livermore, whence they reached the summit of Mt. Washing- ton by way of the Crawford Notch and the southern peaks. Much of the way lay through woodland solitudes where the eye of man had seldom, if ever, penetrated, and the chief member of the expedi- tion says of it that it was “A walk full of surprising interest as well as interesting surprises.” This was in July, when the moun- tains were in their full glory of foli- age, sunshine and birds and animal life. A few months previous, in Febru- ary, two other New England lovers of outdoors enjoyed a pedestrian trip of 100 miles or more through the White Mountains, traveling most of the way on skis and making the ascent of Mt. Washington in this way under condi- tions that were nothing less than per- ilous. Three or four feet of snow almost everywhere covered the trails and roadways, and the Alpine character of the journey was enhanced by at least one avalanche. Such are the contrasts one gets in New Hampshire's White Mountains; and yet American travelers rave over the Alps and the Himalayas as if there was no such thing as real mountains in their own country at all. ' outlook from the top of Pike's Peak, In passing, let me say that the ‘| prospect from Mt. Washington's alti- tudinous crown is one that cannot easily be described in too extrava- gant language.. In a way, it is even more wonderful than the cycloramic which stands twice as high in the world as does “Old Agiochook.” , The normal radiys of observation extends for about 100 miles, taking in the ocean on the east and includ- ing a marvelous mosaic of lakes, riv- ers, mountain peaks, notches, towns and villages and forest tracts. Aided by the refraction of the atmosphere, there are some features of the land- gcape that can be identified 140 miles distant. No one possessing anything SUNAPEE HARBOR. in the slightest degree resembling a soul could look upon this scene and not become a sound convert to the doctrine of forest preservation. Forty or fifty years ago the so- journer on the summit would look out at night upon a gulf of darkness almost as opaque as that which fills the yawning pit of the Grand Canyon of a moonless evening, but nowadays he can amuse himself by identifying, by means of their glittering electric lights, the numerous towns and cities that lie scattered throughout the sa- ble circle. The cities of Portland and Lewiston can thus be picked out. PRESIDENTIAL RANGE FROM WHITEFIELD.
