Francis Wilson was talking at the Flayers' Club about the ignorance o? dramatic literature that is too prevalent in America, according to a writer in the Springfield (Mo.) Republican. "Why," said Mr. Wilson, "a company was playing "She Stoops to Conquer' in a small Western town last winter when a man without any money, wishing to see the show, stepped up to the box office and said: ' 'P?ss me> in. ulease.' "The box office man gave a loud, I harsh laugh. " 'Pass you in? What for?' he ! asked. i "The applicant tirew himself up i and answered haughtily: " 'What for? Why, because I am Oliver Goldsmith, author of the play.' " 'Oh. I beg your pardon, sir,' replied the other in a shocked voice, r.s he hurriedly wrote out an order for ft box." A Successful Expedient. A certain prominent minister was compelled not long ago to give strict orders that while he was engaged in the preparation of his sermons his young son must be kept reasonably quiet. In spite of this, however, thpre arose one morning a most as tonishing noi6e of banging and hammering, which seemed to indicate that the steam-heating pipes were boing knocked to pieces. Hurrying out of his study, the minister encountered his wife. "My dear, what in the world is Bobby doing?" he asked. "Why, he is only beating on the radiator downstairs, ' was the somewhat surprised reply. 1 "Well, he must stop it," the minis- ; ter said, decidedly.- i "I don't think he will harm it, i dear," his wife answered soothingly; "and it is the only thing that will keep him quiet.''?The Argonaut . i INTERESTING CONTEST. Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage. One of the most curious contests 1 ever before the public was conducted | by many thousar.d persons under the offer of the Fostum uereai \_;o., jl.ui., of Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the most words out of the letters Y-3-O-Grape-Nuts. The contest v?a3 started in February, 1906, and it was arranged to have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906. 1 When the public announcement appeared many persons began to form the words from these letters, sometimes the whole family being occupied evenings, a combination of amusement and education. After a while the lists began to come in to the Postum Office, and before long the volume grew until it required wagons to carry the mail. Many of the contestants were A1 ?1-tl?* am 4- rt + vi /> ? lipfp 1 lUOUgll Ufc!SS> euuugll lu acuu UICI1 IMU with insufficient postage and for a period it cost the Company from twenty-five to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day to pay the unpaid postage. Young ladiej, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to examine these lists and count the correct words. Webster's Dictionary was the standard, and each list was very carefully corrected, except those which fell below '8000, for it soon became clear that nothing below that could win. Some of the lists required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each individual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately, but the Company had no idea, at the time the offer was made, that the people would respond so generally, and they were compelled to fill every available ornfnfDG wilh thAQP vnilTIC lady examiners, and notwithstanding they worked steadily, it was impossible to complete the examination until Sept. 29, over six months after the prizes should have been awarded. This delay caused a great many inquiries and naturally created some dissatisfaction. It has been thought best to make this report in practically all of the newspapers in the ,TJnit?d States and many of the magazines in order to make clear to the people the conditions of the contest. Many lists contained enormous numbers of words which, under the rules, had to be eliminated. "Peg ger" would count, "Peggers" would not. Some lists contained over 50,000 words, the great majority of which were cut out. The largest llBts were checked over two and in eome cases three times to insure accuracy The $100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Reese, 1227-15th St., Denver, Colo., with 9941 correct words. The highest $10.00 gold prize went to S. K- Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 correct words. A complete list of the 331 winners with their home addresses will be sent to any contestant enquiring on a postal card. Be sure and give name and address clearly.

At the present time roller-skating Is receiving more attention than for many years. A revival of the sport seems imminent, the older admirers Large Wheels Assure Speed. being enthusiastic as the younger recruits. Probably the decline in the sport can be attributed to the fact that at the time roller-skating was popular everywhere uo attempt was made to improve upon the stereotyped style of roller skate. At this late day, with good prospects of a boom in the sport, a Nebraska inventor brings forth a design which promises a revolution in the construction of roller snates. The accompanying illustration gives a good Idea of its form. Two wheels, not rollers, are used, the wheels being half a dozen times as large as the old-fashioned -rollers. Connecting the two wheels in the centre is an axle about the width of the foot. Suspended upon the axle is a plate whicii supports the shoe in the usual way. It is claimed that wearers of these skates can travel at a remarkable speed. Cushion tires are placed Dn the wheels, requiring only a minimum of effort to get over the ground. ?Philadelphia Record.

The crib and high chair are two of the needfuls of every household in which are young children. To combine the two in one piece of furniture is a rece'nt invention of two California cabinet-makers. Besides serving the two purposes equally well, the appearance has not been slighted in the least, the combination being attractive rather than cumbersome Chair and Crib Combined. In the illustration it is shown in the position of a high chair, rollers being attached to the end frame. To convert the high chair into a crib it is only necessary to change the position, the rockers at the back of the high chair serving ths same purpose as rockers on an ordinary crib. The seat in the high chair is readily removed, and the necessary pillows and coverings inserted. Every mothei will at once recognize the advantage of having a crib in the dining-room, ia which to place the baby for his regular naps without the necessity of carrying him to the upper floor.?

Ostensibly the boat is propelled by a wind-wheel of usual design, geared in suitable manner, with an ordinarj propeller disposed as usual. As the wind may not always be favorable, as all yachtsmen and a few others 'appreciate, a supplementary hand mechanism is provided, operating very much like the lever-arm deviccs of the small boy's express wagon. When the wind is favorable, the wind-wheel is raised and swung around into proper relation to the breeze, the hand mochanisra being disconnected temporarily.

JAMES W. LEE. n ii F Subject: How We Know God. a n o d Brooklyn, N. Y.?For a month the ^ Rev. Dr. James W. Lee, pastor of " Trinity M. E. Church, South Atlanta, Ga., acted as pastor of three Brook- " ]yn churches, Bethany Dutch Re- ? formed, Simpson M. E. and Central 0 Baptist. These churches united their ? congregations into one, and invited Dr. Lee to serve them. The sermon l? last Sunday was at Simpson Church, ?! The subject was "How to Know J1 God," and the text Hosea vi:3:- "Then " shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord." Dr. Lee said: ? For all our knowledge we are indebted to three forms of mental ac- |f tivity which are known as intuition, reflection and recollection, or to use v different forms for the same things, we can call them perception, by . means of which we recognize single things; conception, by which we de- ?! duce general terms from single things; and recollection, by which " we recall previous perceptions and recollections. That is, the human * mind can' know the natural world. the human world and the spiritual world, by the activity of the intuitive, ?. conceptive and recollective powers. " From intuitions man generalizes con- E ceptions or ideas of greater comprehensiveness, and he can call back t, past 'perceptions and conceptions through his powers of recollection. Man has three great intellectual en- ? dowments: he can perceive, he can . conceive, he can remember. Our intuitions, our nerrentinns may be divided into three classes. ^ We have intuitions of the world; these are sense perceptions; we have intuitions of ourselves; these are q self-perceptions; and we have intui- { tions of the spiritual world; these are religious perceptions. It must be understood, however, ^ that we can have no cognitions or perceptions of either nature, man or God, unless nature, man and God ^ come before the mind. In every per- y ception there must be a perceiver, something perceived, and an act of y perception. No world can be seen, unless there is a world before the mind; no man can be seen unless ^ there is a man before the mind. No j, man can create perceptions either of J nature, man or God. out of nothing. ^ For all his perceptions of nature, man or God, he is shut up to the ob- e jects which produce them. He could no more have religious perceptions n without God than he could have selfperceptions without man, or sense- k perceptions without a world. Spirit- q ual intuitions are as indubitable evi- n dences of the presence of God, as ^ sense intuitions are of the presence ^ of the material world, or as self-in- w tuitions are of the presence of man. n If religious intuitions do not imply fl God, as sense-perceptions imply nature, and self-cognitions imply man. tl then civilization is an unsubstantial rp dream. When a person objectifies ^ himself into some one else and comes w at length to believe himself a ruler t( of a nation when every one of his friends knows he is onlv John Smith. ^ a jury is called to pass on his sanity. ^ If a man continues to talk into one ' end of a telephone and to get an- ^ swers back when there is no one at ^ the other end of it, a jury is called to b Inquire into the state of his mind. Now, if for thousands of years the human race has been perceiving God In nature, in conscience, in history, and answering back through prayer t, and reverence and song and liturgy * and dipctrine and temple, when in fact no God has been perceived, then ? It is evident that human nature is sonstitutlonally deranged. It is remarkable, however, that man should ., find himself led astray at none of the gateways through which he holds zommerce with outside reality except ? the religious. The gateway of vision * opens out directly into the kingdom . of light. The gateway of sound ex- tl actly adjoins the kingdom of melody, j The intellect borders on the realm f of truth. The universe fits closely j~ about and meets and matches every f human sense except the religious. If ' man would breathe, there is the air; ? If he would satisfy his hunger, there r. Is food; if he would slake his thirst, ^ there is water; if he would talk there are vibrations to carry his words. Every door of the soul and body is an open port through which there is constant exchange of inside and outside merchandise, except the one opening into the religious regions, o: When through the spiritual sense he w apprehends what he takes to he di- VI vine reality, he finds only the phan- h tasmal forms of his own soul filling A the horizon in front of him. s< If we can know God by exactly the 1* same methods we use to know the t> world and man, what becomes of rl 4>oifV? 9 Tn rnnlv U mov ho oncvoroH tl iaibi* AAA A vpij f Jb MV M44W?V? VM that we have no knowledge of any grade of reality whatsoever without ti faith. For knowledge of things ma- w terial we need sense-faith; for knowl- n edge of things human we need self- t< faith; for knowledge of God we need ii religious faith. Faith does not come a at the end of intellectual processes g by means of which perceptions are ii Worked up into conceptions and laws tl and general ideas. Faith stands at si the outer door of the mind and all ti intuitions, whether of nature, man or 01 God, must receive its approval before ti they can be initiated into the differ- T ent degrees of knowledge. K Before we can reason about gravi- a tation, force, atoms, and ether we tl must accept their existence by faith. 1< Faith goes before proof. We cannot store up an item of knowledge of the x rtf UVi Auf tm olrin w IttLlgiUlC ? UI iVt CYCU nituvuv uinuiu^ assumptions that no one can possibly . prove. Those scientists who deride faith and take unction to themselves -t upon believing nothing without evi- , dence, should remember that before J there can be any experience of any- . thing or any demonstration of any- r. thing whatsoever, they are under the *' necessity of making assumptions. ? every one of which must be accepted by faith. All confusion of thought on th? subject of faith has grown out of the fact that it has been put at the end of mental processes, when it be- t) longs at the beginning of them. Its e, function is to initiate knowledge. Its jj place is at the cradle of learning. It stands at the dawn of thought. Its work is to certify to the validity of d 1 our intuitions. The same argument ti that is brought by Haeckel against the existence of God was brought by Hume against the existence of man, and by Fichte against the existence of the world. The one thing that li every man knows with the conviction C I nf absolute certainty is the fact of g his own existence. If the self is not ? Known, nothing can be. Yet no one ever willi the eye of sense sa*v himself thinking or willing or feeling. But he has as much confidecce in his self-perceptions as in his sense- ^ perceptions. Faith in our intuitions f nature, of man and of God, is the condition of physical scienc.e, psycho- n * / jgical science and tlie science t)f sligion. Without faith in sense-impressions re become idealists. Without faith J self-impressions we become agostics. Without faith in religious npressions we become materialists, aith is impossible without evidence, nd as sound and valid evidence is eeded for our faith' in God as for ur faith in the world. But the evience faith demands is not such as le reason presents, but such as the ituition6 present. Nature, man and God, the three jrma fVurv cum 11*VM 4 VJ/I VUC CWlll U OULU f reality, must each be taken at the utset on faith based on the evidence f sense-intuition, self-intuition and sligious intuition. Physical science ; the knowledge of nature; but beDre the intelligence can make use of le cognitions of sense out of which 3 . form it, nature itself must be acspted by faith. We must believe lat God is before we can ever use ie intuitions of Him to make theojgical science. Faith is an affirmation and an act, /hich bids eternal truth be present fact." In denying the existence of God to egin with, we close the door of the pirit through which God manifests [imself. If we start out with the nderstanding that there is no God, eligious perceptions are strangled in leir very birth. Of course, we can ave no perceptions of God if we mulate the noblest part of our nature y putting but the eyes of the relig)U8 sense. We have it within our ower to destroy our physical senses. Ve can plug up our ears and shut ie windows of vision and close all ie doors through which the outside orld Impresses us. But one foolish aough to destroy his physical senses ould be doubly stupid if he imagled afterward that he had more Dmmerce with reality than those ho kept open all the gateways of ie body and soul. Haeckel says that "human nature hich exalts itself into an image of od * * * has no more value >r the universe at large than an ant r thp flv nf n siimmpr's riflv " Unless the knowledge man gets of imself and the world and God by le reaction of intelligence on persptions is valid and trustworthy, [aeckel is right; man is not of more alue than the ant, or the fly of a jmmer's day. He is not of as much alue as the bee, or the beaver, or le tailor bird; for they are all artits without the trouble of learning ow to be, while he is left to accumuite knowledge as best he can by the se of his faculties. They know at ae beginning what it has taken him lousands of years to find out, and ven now the bee surpasses him in le application of the' principles of lathematics. If what man knows, or thinks be nows, of the world and himself and od is illusion, then the lower anilals have the advantage of him. The nowledge built into their bodies oes correspond with the facts with hich they have to deal. They are ot disappointed and deceived. The ock of wild geese from the Northern ikes have always found the South ley felt in their blood was there, he /beaver has always found the md responsive to his tail, and the ood of the tree no harder than his ;eth could cut. But, if the cognions of man do hot correspond to lings, but are hallucinations, phanismal forms of his own consciousess, then the bears and tigers and eavers and bees and ants and gnats ave the advantage of him. Human eings who have exalted themselves, i Haeckel says, into images of God, re the greatest fools, and the only jols, on earth. The universe puts higher value on genuine flat-footed gers, who find as they roam on all jura the jungles matching their irery want and anticipating their very item of constitutional knowlJge, than upon the so-called lords of eation.who have only climbed to le top of animated existence in their jnceit. They are like a company of lain laborers, imagining themselves ) be King Georges, and, instead of ccupying thrones, as they think they o, they are perched upon stools in' le different rooms of an insane asyim. It were better to be a good, ealthy tiger in the tall cane of the ivamp any time than to be a crazy, >lf-inflated, self-conceited descendnt of Adam, running at large in the Igh places of existence.

For some years she taught school, and became knowr as a woman of an alert Ya*f^??*saa531 and investigating mind, an earnest fieeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkbam, ft builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies? callling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of their gained a tvonds:rful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power O't disease. She maintained that just a^ ture so bountifully provided in the harvestfields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to fine; them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines dor her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare Jbinatlon of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the care of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lydia E. finkfcam's friends and neighbors learned ? that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. t But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class . of business suffered most from fearful deDression. so when the Centen ninl year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. , The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to The President of the Republic of Andorra, in the Pyrenees, gets the smallest salary paid by any civilized Government.
