Ran From His Pulpit.
Thile Rev. George J. Mere-
h, pastor of the Newport
rch, was preaching an elo-
ent sermon yesterday it was
iced by his congregation that
seemed disquieted at the
earns of a child that came
m the parsonage adjoining the
rch. Finally he was unable
ftitinue his discourse, and
stily left the pulpit and ran to
the parsonage just in time to
e his youngest child die in bis
s.
n the absence of the father
the family the boy some-
lere bad found a package of ar
ic, and, thinking it sugar
d taken sufficient to kill him.
Long Hair and Short Cake.
Navy families are used to sep
arations. A middle-aged officer
of the navy left Washington
three years ago for a cruise on
the China station. On the even
ing that he left his wife hersell
prepared an especially dainty
dinner for him, the bill of fare
winding up with strawberry
shortcake. Only half the short-
cake could be eaten by the fam
ily, so heartily had they partaken
of the other viands, and the of
fieer said to his wife: “You can
just put the remaining half of
that shortcake in the refrigerator
and we’ll have it tomorrow.” He
forgot for the moment that he
was going away that night. His
wife went down to the station
with him, and among the final in
structions she gave him was an
imperative command to have his
hair trimmed as soon as he reach-
ed Ban Francisco. The officer
had, absent-mindedly, permitted
his hair to grow rather long.
He returned to Washington
about ten days ago, after an ab
sence of a month more than three
years. His wife met him at the
station. After their first saluta
tion she said to him, smiling:
“I observe that you obeyed or
ders and bad your hair cut.”
“Yes, my dear,” replied the of
fleer, “and did you save me that
bit of strawberry shortcake?’
To Try on Wash Day.
Treat the family wash accord
ing to the following method and
each piece will come out beauti
fully white: Cut half a cake oi
any good laundry soap into shav
ings, put into a stewpan on the
stove with a quart of hot watei
and two large spoonfuls of bo
rax. When tlie soap is dissolved
and boiling rapidly pour in slow
ly one gill of kerosene. When
the mixture forms an emulsion
(which will be in three or foul
minutes) and boils to the top oi
the pan remove quickly from the
fire and pour into the tub. Add
immediately four large pailfuls
of boiling water. Put in the
clothes after rubbing a little
soap into bands and most soiled
parts, and press and pound them
until clean—perhaps twenty
minutes* Wring and pound
again in clean hot water to takf
out the dirty suds. Rinse in blue
water and hang out in the open
air to dry. Kerosene is a power
fill detergent, saves time and la-
bor and does not injure the finest
fabric. Used in this way—in an
emulsion—its odor washes out
with the scan.
Actors’ Church Alliance.
It is proposed by the Actors’
Church Alliance of America, the
object of which is to bring actors
into closer communication with
the church throughout the coun
try, to have a clergyman member
of the alliance in every city to
look after the spiritual welfare of
the actors there. The organiza-
tion also purposes undertaking
to abolish all Sunday perform-
ances of any character by law.
The opening meeting in New
York the other day was presided
over bv Bishon Potter, who said
he had never been in a theater in
liis life. Not because be thought
it wrong to ao there, but because
be deemed it inexpedient to do
so. He warmly commended the
purpose of the alliance and he
promised it the support of the
church. Incidentlv he told of his
warm affection for Charlotte
Cushman and John Gilbert. One
day the bishon and Mr. Gilbert
bowed to each other in a street
car. “Who is that bishop?”
asked Bishop Potter’s compan-
ion. “He’s not a bishop,” said
the reverend gentleman. “Well,
he looks like one,” was the reply.
A Snoring Premier.
During the all-night sitting of
the New South Wales legislative
assembly this week the premier,
Mr. Reid, spent a large part of
the night in slumber on the oppo-
sition benches. The incident did
not escape notice, as the rotund
attitude of the sleepy premier
and his nasal peformances com-
pelled attention from all parts of
the house. Eventually it was
satirically demanded why the
leader of the government should
persist in remaining on the oppo-
sition side of the house. Mr. Bar-
ton pomptly and wittily defend-
ed his new colleague by asking
“Why should he not be there?
Is he not now my sleeping part-
ner?”—Sidney Telegraph.

He Hoped Not.
The other day, when it was
raining very hard four or five
men were having a few glasses
of beer in a village beerhouse
when one man said to the com

Electricity and Ike Kmematograpk.
Till recently the employment
of electricity in any shape or
form in Constantinople was
stictlv forbidden. Incredible a3
it may appear, the sultan naive-
ly imagined that a dynamo must
have something to do with
the manufacture of dynamite.
The final triumph over the preju-
dices of the sultan is said to have
been due to a Spaniard and the
kinematograph. The city au-
thorities would not allow him to
set his instrument in operation,
because it had to be driven by
the condemned electricity. He
applied to his ambassador, who.
during the next audience he had
with the sultan took occasion to
enlarge on the wonders of the
kinematograph, and interested
the sultan so much that Don Ra
mirez was ordered to bring his
instrument to the palace. The
sultan became convinced that
connection with dangerous ex-
electricity, though produced by
a dynamo or a battery, had no
connections with dangerous ex
plosives; the lucky don got ku-
dos and wealth, and permission
was granted to him to install in
his circus the first electric light
plant in Constantinople.—Elec-

Swiss Innkeepers’ Profits.
In Switzerland last summer
there were 1790 hotels, boarding
houses, bathing and health resorts
to accommodate the traveling
public. When one includes about
1500 smaller hostelries, with ac-
comodations for about ten per-
sons, there were sleeping accom-
modations for 140,000 travelers in
Switzerland.
During the main traveling sea-
son, from the middle of July to
the end of August, the minimum
expenditure of the average sum-
mer boarder, with his children
and servants, is placed at the low
sum of 5 francs. Nevertheless,
this means a daily income to the.
Innkeepers of 650,000 francs.
Making allowance for favorable
traveling weather, these eofimatet
mean an income to the hotel keep-
ers during a month and one-half
of summer of 28,000,000, franos.
Ib Luzerne alone there are fifty-
two first class hotels.
