wlti Jx was ia tie party, all very

filed qultuy lata their 5at&, preceded
by a local guide, in ibost haads thty

can never kaow what they tiougbt of

aovable In their teats, with their ox
llke eyes fixed oa our party while we
played strious auric No. shadow of '
emotion could bt s-'tn on their coun
tenances. The nfth nuabtr of the
program was a violin solo by Mr.
Schultte, and for aa encore he gave
a little caprke, enmita "The Bird la
the Tret." The moment Mr. Schultze .
began tils piece the InulaaB were all '
alive, their eye sparkled with pleas
ure, and tbey nudged each other with
their elbows; and wbea the little bird
melody and Imitation of bird-slnglng
began tbey looked all around tbt ceil
ing and the walls, doubtless expecting
to see singing birds flitting about. Not
teeing any, they looked at the violin
ist and began to understand' that he ,
was the magician. Tbe surprise ana
almost incredulity depicted on the
faces of these children of nature was
a rare show In itself. At Iu conclu- (
slon they Jumped up and down. Just '

Stockholm and its environs are suf
fering from a plague of rata, which. If
it Is not checked, may later lead to a
plague of dUtaM. The evil has gone
on unheeded for years, and now the
posts aro to numerous that people are
crying out for onergetlc measures. The
rats career about the city toward even
ing, and may bo seen romping even in
crowded thoroughfares, so bold have
tbey become owing to tho laxity of
the authorities. Not a house In the
town la free from the pest, and serious
damage Is being do;s to foundations.
It Is proposed to offer a premium for
each rat destroyed, after tho policy
adoptod by the Copenhagen corpora
tion, Irofeior IIconia rulor.
The CongregatlonalUt says: "The
call of Prof. Edward Cummlngs, of
Harvard University, to tbe pastorate
of tho South Congregational church,
Boston, over which Dr. Edward Ever
ett Hale has ministered so many years,
Is of more than usual significance, in
that it Implies that he will give up pro
fessional ambitions at Harvard and
prefer the pastorate, and In that it will
bo a notable Instance of a man coming
to tho Christian ministry without much
of tho conventional training for tho
profession, but who, on tho othor hand,
Is unusually well equipped for tho d!a

its presence in such large quantities

After securing a place advantageous
ly located for reaching a large popula
tion, the missionary begins the dreary
work of repeating after a Chinese
teacher the various words he learns,
giving to each In Its turn the four dif
ferent tones of tho Chinese language,
each tone or inflection having a dis
tinct and separate meaning. After a
year spent In this way he makes his
first attempt at street preaching, and
by talking to natives wherever he can
get tbem to listen he seeks bis first
convert, out of whom he makes a help
er or native preacher. With his first
convert made, the missionary feels
himself established, and then follow
schools and churches.
In Pektn, where the missions are
well on'thelr feet, the work is divided.
In the compounds, which are usually
In a quiet part of the city, are gath
ered the homes of the missionaries,
their schools, colleges and hospitals,
and a church, called the domestic
chapel, for teniccs among their pro
fessing converts. The outside work
consists of dally preaching In street
chapels, which are secured along the
crowded public streets, and In the pe
riodic visits to surrounding villages
and cities.
The Chinaman Is nearly always
ready to hear a new doctrine, and the
street chapels are full ol men, who
drop in, sit a while to listen, get up
and leave whenever they do not like

Sir L. Alma-Taderaa, the eminent
painter. Is particularly partial to mon
ograms. Over many of the doors of his
beautiful house In St. John's Wood his
monogram appears, but perhaps the
happiest notion of nil In this direc
tion Is the one which occupies nearly
the wholo of the door which opens to
the entrance leading to the conserva
tory. His full name is Laurence Alma
Tndema. Tho "L" Is composed of the
various wooden curves used by artist
for Insuring symmetrical drawing, the
"A" Is an easel, the cross-bar admira
bly representing the cross lino of the
letter, while the final Initial is repre
sented by a huge "T" square. Sir L.

A novel tise of leather Its In the

of G. Drlgalant of Uarentln. In
France. This Is a sort of leather
paper on board, which is mndo from
waste cuttings of sklus Into small bits,
and then Immersing them In n large
vat containing nn alkaline solution,
which dissolves tho glutinous matter,
but leaves tho fibers unaltered. The
resultant fiber is then beaten and
afterward pressed through a refiner.
The stuff Is run onto tho wiro and n
very thin paper Is made, which Is cut
into sheets, and while wet is placed
in piles and subjected to pressure to
squeeze tho water out.
