The host ess at a hall among the nobility raoetroa bar roasts with a djarette between her fingers, sod -|l el— fair dames smoke in the panes of the dance. The wife of the eon of Robert Browning, an American lady, created a profound sensation in Venetian society by declaring that she would not in ritaladis to smoke at her bouse, and the little daughter of another American lady uncmadonaly uttered a serere criticisro The mother was visiting an Italian woman of title, and in her honor a hall was given in the palace of the hostess The little girl, who was • yean old, was taken by her none from her bed to a gallery where she could look down into the ball room after the company had aasembled. She looked at the brilliant right for a moment in silence and then —1 in much wonder: ’■Where are the ladieeT “Why, the hall is foil of them," answered the nurse. “Oh, no." said the child, “all those romen be Youth’s Companion.

An Rnglish nobleman who died recently was frequently spoken of amnng his fellows as being “too good for this earth.” He was excessively absent minded when in society, and ptf much of his time in solitude and meditation. "He was as pure and unworldly,* says his biographer, "as a being of an-

Looking closely at his life, however, it appears, in spite of the large opportunities which his wealth and rank gave him, to have been of little use or value to his fellow men. Aspirations and dreams, however high and noble, which never pass into words or actions do not weigh heavily in the world. When Prince Bismarck retired from public life a member of the Reichstag said, shrewdly: "The power of the prince for good or evil lay in th% use which ha mads of the praeent moment. He never worked for to-morrow, but for todey." Probably the same criticism could be made upon every man who exerts a living force upon Us generation.

That-the drift is anti-ecclesias-tical end anti-dogmatic is equally certain. The pulpit ha* almost abandoned polemic utterances. Scores and hundreds of churches would not endure them. They were once the fashion, and of opposing sects were In high favor. We have outgrown all that. The change is partly dne to social and commercial causes.

sarily the repudiation of doctrine. The truest reason may break with the logical refinements of the schools. The antidogmatic drift of our lime does not impress me as antagonising intelligence in religion, aa t^wtii^ to analysis, definition and systematic arrangement, but at intent upon calling a halt upon speculative audacity, and insisting that the. ology, Hk#» w-ierwsi and philosophy, shall deal only with what can be accurately known. It demands the rigid application of the Baconian method, in which facts are the groundwork of theory. It demands a simpler creed, but it wants a creed, and it would repudiate any creed which lacked the quality of comprehension. TLe time has come when it should be freely recognised that modern criti- i dsm is at heart reverent and Christian, not flippant, atheistic and anti-Chris-

tian. %

How serious, then, is the breach between modern culture and current orthodoxy! To me, at least, it seems to be a lyt" and vanishing line; and the hope of a coalescence in the near future appears tf me well founded. It cannot be otherwise. For reason seeks the truth, and all truth is sacred, binding upon human conduct; while Christianity is the religion of holiness, and the genni- ! nant energy in holiness is veracity, s j truth seeking, truth loving, truth com-

Now that the Stewart mansion, at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street, is to be turned over to the Manhattan dub for a club house, it has come out that there was one sacred room in the mansion. This room is on the second floor on the avenue side. It was originally furnished in 1872. The carpets for the room w ere made in Europe and fitted like a glove. The furniture was made In Baris and was of the most expensive

kind.

There was a crystal chandelier in it w hose prisms shone like diamonds. Marble statues from Italy and fine paintings were Some of the costly adornments. Hie original outlay for furnishing the room was $50,000. Whom do you sup|>ose it was so magnificently fitted up for? None other than Ulyase* S. Grant, then in the Ant year of his first term as president of the United States. It will he recalled that Gen. Grant sent A. T. Stewart’s name to the senate for confirmation as secretary of the treasury. It was then discovered that the constitution would not permit an Importer to lake tiiis place in the cabinet. But Mr. Stewart, appreciating the president's desire to honor him, became from that moment a warmer friend than ever of Gen. Grant. This room, in his palatial mansion, was furnished expressly for tiie use of the president. No matter howcrowded tiie house might be, no person on earth except the general was to have the use of it even for a moment. A latch key to the mansion and a key to the room were sent to him, with the directions that whenever he wanted to come to New York and have a resting spell, this room would be at bis diapwaL Gen. Grant, in the eight years that he was -president, occupied it many more times than anybody except the Slcwarta. were aware of. Ostensibly he was at the Fifth Avenue hotel, but when tiie evening began to wane and w hen wearied with tiie day's callers, he would slip into a cab and be driven to his beautiful biding place in the Stew art mansion.—

All that the newspapers of today are doing for every good cause, sod notably at this moment for that of good government. Capital and financial success arc of course essential for the production of a great modern newspaper; but the public has s right to demand that those who bear the highest responsibilities of the profession should issue newspapers which they, as private individuals, would be willing to Indorse in every part as men of character, refinement and self respect—Cen tnry.

Some years ago the Cold Spring brook, that flows from the Pleaaant Valley hills between Beth and Hamroondi-port and empties into Lake ifeuka at this place, was stocked with California mountain trout. The stream was a natural trout brook, and the California trout thrived In its waters. Specimens have been caught, with hook and line, weighing three pounds. One day recently Harry Chainplin. who runs a grist mill along the creek, two miles from Hammondeport, saw a splashing in the tail race of his mill. He discovered that a very large fish of some kind had got into doss quarters there, and he succeeded in capturing with his hands what proved to be a trout that weitflied over five pounds.— Exchange.

Within a few weeks the cigars in an open box lose all the attributes of tobacco. They become dry and t utter leas and there is no demand for them in this country. With the English this is different They want a cigar that is as dry as tinder and will have no other. Over here the cigar dealer must keep his goods in a damp chest like a refrigerator. —Exchange.
