V?RITT&N UV RE: CHAPL^vltS CllV h SAT' before the blazing hearth; the genial warmth of an open fire charmed me into a beau tiful dreamland. Mem ory drew upon her abyssmal resources as I : there, coaxed into an abstraction of exquisite picasure. Voices! I hear voices. strange voices! They speak to me: The first said, "A year ago you promised, If your life was spared to j'ou, that you would consecrate it to God." The second asked. "Has God, to whom you made the promise, dealt with you as you have dealt with Him?" The third said, "Remove it" But the fourth asked "that it might be spared for a while- longer." I cried in agony; "Spare me, good Lord." Two Girls, Still In Tlie?r TTocns, passed through the room In which I ; sat. Full of animal lite and youthful ! gaiety they chatted and joked and laughed: they were in a whirl of: pleasure. Suddenly one of them Cried, "O! O. my!" "Agnes," said her companion, "what troables you?" but Ellen could only repeat. "O, my!" At length she said, "I promised to spend one hour with God; I must go to my room instantly. Good night. Agnes. I'll see you to-morrow." The explanation of Ellen's conduct was, her mother had been speaking to her about the beauty of a,life of holiness, and she had promised her mother to spend an hour in. prayer and reading the ninety-first Psalm before sbo| re tired. The chatting"'cad almost driv en It, out of her mind. Then appeared upon the see youth of twenty summers, ot._ooble mien; his eye glistened with noble ness; his demeanor was pleasing: he was a picture of genuiness; his car riage was that of a K' Ti'ebstcr or Clay or Lincoln. V As he stood in the midst of the; "room he addressed aa invisible being: i "What shall I do with my life?" i Standing on its threshold, viewing j the wrecks of wasted lives as they floated by out into the ocean of eter nity, he repeated the question with great solemnity: "What shall I do with my life?" Three Paces Instan tly Appeared. First that of an ox, then that of a lion, last an eagle. The ox made an swer: "Eat. drink and be merry," but the young mart shuddered at the thought of making a god of his appe tite. Live an animal life? Nay! I Tras created for something nobler than a glutton; I have a soul to save. The lion proposed to make a god of genius. She offers a pedestal of eter aal fame; your name shall be asso ciated with scientists, philosophers and philanthropists. In Her Native Dignity Sat the Eagle. She looked at the man, then at the . beaven above. Turning to the man ??he said, "The earth is thy lodging place; the heaven overhead is thy home; tho earth's choicest treasure cannot fill thee. Thou art more than animal, more than Intellect, thou art qualified for companionship with deity. Prepare!" In a moment of time there passed before me * ' A Panorama, upon which was displayed all the scenes of my life from my earliest recollection. Curious and strange tracings were there. Every struggle with conscience, every striving to be 3 ?na'a j Sleepless Creatures. There are several species of fish, reptiles and insects which never sleep during the whole of their existence. Among fish it is positively known that pike, salmon and goldfish at no time sleep; also that there are other mem bers of the fish family that sleep only a few minutes daring the course of a month. There are various species of flies that never indulge in slumber, and five species of serpents also that do not sleep.-Philadelphia Record. Populous China. The population of the Chinese em pire is largely a matter of estimate. There has never been such census of the empire as that which ls taken every decade in this country. But the estimate of the Almanach de Gotha for 1990 may be taken as fairly re liable. According to that estimate, the population of the empire is, in round numbers, about 400,000,000. It Is probably safe to say that if the human beings on earth were stood up in line every fourth one would be a Chinaman. ^EW YEAR. good, every lofty Ideal were drawn with, perfect accuracy. Failures and successes, defeats and victories passed in rapid review. Never were there such noble ambitions, such possibili ties, and such fatal aimlessness crowded into so small a compass. The sight alarmed me and I cried, "Is lt too lato?" Suddenly the Scene Changed. The judgment was set amid a blaze of majesty and power and glory, be yond ny* most fertil? imagination. Every human being stood before it, waiting to render an account of the life now closed. Notably, The Poor Led the Way. A boy from one of the great mer cantile houses preceded several oth ers whom he had influenced for good. Then came a man with a score of his fellow workmen, whom he had res cued, by his holy living, from lives of ungodliness. He was followed by a woman, distressingly poor while on earth, but filled with the Holy Spirit. She with her children, whom she had brought up in the fear of the Lord, together ascended the massive step? which led them through the portals cf glory into-who can describe "the things which eye hath not seen nor ear heard?" For a Thousand Years the endless procession continued to advance until the last man and wom an had rendered an accounting of the life entrusted to them. I was greatly distressed at the sight of one whom I had known; he brought his work, a marvoLofJiumajt. goodness, but it was ??ject^rT^?'caus? It Was Christless. The scene closed. Alarmed, I awoke from my reverie. Instantly I fell on my knees, consecrated my life to Him who bought me with His blood, allowed Him to fill me with His i Holy Spirit. Now, after several I years, I write to say, this is what I j did with my life. ANOTHER YEAR IS A Crowded Universe. In New Haven the committee of a graduating class once went to a local jeweler with a commission for a class badge. They^had in view a design representing a youthful graduate sur veying the universe. "About how large would you like the figure?" the jeweler asked. "Well," said the spokesman, "we . thought the graduate ought to cover about three-quarters of the b..1ge. and the universe the rest."-Success. I H?lting the Autos. With a view to preventing the driv ing of automobiles at high speed across the tracks at grade crossings, the Long Island Railroad Company have arranged with the Long Island Automobile Club to have hummocks formed in the road on each side of certain grade crossings where reck less driving has been most common. There are altogether 429 grade cross ings on the Long Island system, and the number of fatalities has grown to an alarming extent.-Scientific Amer ican. A New, Year's Homily. New Year's Day is in some way rec ognized by every people having a for mal calendar, ;7et the hours of the last day of the old year generally pass with little variation from or dinary routine. Nevertheless, it is the completed book whose story im presses the reader for good or bad, not the cover or the frontispiece of the new one. Nearly all the words of our language applying to a course not absolutely marked out describe the path that is left behind and not that which is before. There is no counter part to the ship's "wake" for the course which the prow is about to break, nor of the "track of the cy clone," nor of the spoor of the tiger, cor of "tho trail" of numberless ani mals. lt may be noted incidentally that laws or ordinances require auto mobiles to carry a number, in large figures, hanging from the back. No body who secs an automobile coming cares what its number is. Only when it happens to leave some record be hind in its track is the knowledge of its number important. It is doubtless because the future is swarming with possibilities, whereas the past consti tutes a record which cannot be changed, that most of our festivities centre about the anticipation of the new year rather than in a retrospec tive affection for the old. In the eld er days of thc world prophecy held a place f prominence among all peo ples, but of history in the scientific sense there was none. This has been reversed by the severely practical modern world. History is at a pre mium, prophecy at -a discount. Yet the almost disregarded last day of De cember stands for the completed rec ord, as New Year's does for the pro phecy of what ls to come. ' New Year's Resolutions. If everybody on this earth Made resolutions New Year's Day And kept them fast, a share of mirth From life would straight be swept away, The fool would cease the pranks which make The wise man jeer with cynic chaff. The wisc man with some sad mistake Would never move the fool to laugh. So let us strive as best we may And. if perfection be not won, We'll let the failure go its way To swell the scoffer's store of fun. When Talleyrand Scored.

C- O ?+4??* HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION REGION IN ITALI EARTHQU Messina, the Ruined City, is Many Masters a Studied with maps and accounts of the more refcent of the great earth quake disasters of Italy, it is seen that in the latest catastrophe the dis turbance reached the surface on the northern border, close to Swiss terri tory. Bomodossolo is among the Alps, and the mountain rango seems to have been the route of the earth quake. It pass?d to the southward, following the Apennines. There is a twenty minutes difference between the time of the shocks reported in upner ^tndi-Jower Italy. In Calabria, which has been laid waste again and again by such dis turbances, this earthquake first touched the surface with its full effect. Lofty ?ignal posts of disaster marked its way, for-it struck with full force at the extinct volcano of San Giovanni, spread its devastation across the Strait of Messina to Sicily and rolled up another score of death and ruin all about the slopes of Mount Etna, reducing to ruins the ancient and famous city of Messina and tumblingthebuildings of Catania, fifty-nine miles farther south, only to again overwhelm the busy port soon afterward with a great tidal wave. The spread of the earthquake In Sicily and Southern Italy, according to the cable dispatches, was through very much the same area as that of the earthquake of 1873, which was the most destructive in the history of Italy. Then, as now, the earth quake caused enormous damage on both sides of the Strait of Messina, Which separates the toe of the so called "hoot" of Italy from Sicily. The historic disaster completely wrecked the populous seaport of Mes sina in 'Sicily near the northern end or the strait and destroyed many smaller cities and towns in Southern Italy and Sicily. The loss of life In this disaster of 1783 was estimated at C0,000, Mes sina, a city which is for the most part but little above the level of the sea, suffering terribly-then, as now, from a tidal wave. The region to the south of Messina has also been often overwhelmed by eruptions from Mount Etna. The southeastern and eastern portion of the island has been damaged time and again by eruptions o? Etna and very little by earth quakes, while the northeastern por tion has sustained heavy loss of life and property from earthquakes and very little from volcanic eruption. Messina, which as in 1783 suffered the greatest loss of life and property from this earthquake, is a city and seaport of upwards of 80,000 inhab itants, while in the commune em bracing the city, suburbs and adjacent country, the population is upward of Skirt Manufacturers Decree Complete New Spring Outfits.

Next to Palermo, it is the chief commercial town of Sicily and its harbor, which is formed by a peninsula, is the busiest in Italy from the standpoint of steamboat traffic. The principal object of interest to tourists, apart from the scenic attrac tions of the place, is the cathedral, which was begun in 1098, at the time of Norman occupation of the island, and parts of which are still standing as originally constructed with the ex ception of the evidences of damage wrought by the frequent earthquakes. The town is one of gre?t antiquity, and derived its first known name, Zanole (a sickle), from the shape of the harbor. It was founded by Cu maen pirates and Chalcidians in 732 B. C., and was governed by the laws of Charondas. In 296 B. C. the town was de stroyed by the Carthaginians, but was rebuilt a few years later by Dionysius of Syracuse, only to fall again into the hands of the Carthaginians under Hannibal in 269. The first Punic war. however, left the place in the hands of the Romans, and the place was of importance second only lo that of Syracuse and Lilybaeum in Sicily during a period of Roman occupa'lou lasting for several centuries. In 831 A. D. the town was taken by the Saracens, but in 10 61 it was taken from them by the Normans. The city prospered greatly during the Crusades, being a favorite rendezvous for soldiers from the continent en route to the Holy Land. In the Mid dle Ages also it became a flourishing commercial city. Its commercial importance disap peared after a bitter struggle between the aristocratic faction, or Merli, and the democratic faction, or Mavizzi, In 1674. The democratic faction ap pealed to the French and the other to the Spaniards. The former faction were at flrBt victorious, but eventual ly were deserted by the French, the city was taken by the Spaniards, and when the struggle was over tho popu lation was reduced from 120,000 to about a tenth of that number. The town never fully recovered from this disaster. "Whatever recov ery was made was neutralized in the eighteenth century by a series of dis asters. In 1740 about 40.000 persons died of the plague, r.nd In ITS 3 the town was almost entirely overthrown by the great earthquake of that year. Great damage was caused by bom bardment in September, 1S4S. Tho cholera carried off no fewer than 16, 000 victims in 1854 and earthquakes in 1894 and 1906 also caused loss of life and property. In 18S0 the town was occupied by Garibaldi. It be came a part of united Italy the fol lowing year. _ Prehistoric City Being Un earthed Near Florence, Ariz. Washington, D.

Quicker at Twenty-five. j When a man asks a sixteen-year4 old girl to go to a party with him she will look doubtful and say she doesn't know whether she wants tb go or not. Sometimes she will look down at his feet while she hesitates, and he w"I imagine that she is wondering if he uses those big feet to step on his. partner's toes in the dances. After she has deliberated long enough to make him feel that she is a princess and he an impudent beggar to ask such a favor at her royal hands, she accepts In such a half hearted way that he feels ashamed of himself that he imposed upon her by asking. But a girl of twenty-five will accept .the invitation quicker. Atchison Globe. Entered a Nunnery. The Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia, sister of the Czarina and widow of the Grand Duke Sergius, who was assassinated in Moscow, en tered a nunnery in that city. The Grand Duchess, who is a granddaugh ter of the late Queen Victoria, after her marriage with the Grand Duke SergluS? resided in Moscow. She be came increasingly popular with the people of Moscow, says the Paris Journal, as her husband's arbitrary m?thode as Governor of the city roused against him a hate that grew ever fiercer, and received a warning not to accompany her husband on the day when he and his carriage were blown to pieces.-London Globe.

This is particularly good just now, when browns are so fashionable and the shades are unlimited. There are charming "woods" for a day and for evening tans, cafe au lait, creams and yellows. If the eyes have a hazel glint a girl will do well to go into grays, not the cold steel varie ties, but soft doves, pink and blue grays, some verging into mauve, says Woman's Life. The exceptions in this class come from the muddy skin. In those cases tans and cafe au laits and grays should be rigidly avoided, for they will only accentuate all the tl>'.'-ness of the complexion. Women Doctors. Generally speaking "lady doctorsj are not greatly in demand. There is admittedly a prejudice against them, and, curiously enough, it is nowhere entertained more keenly than among women themselves. As a well known surgeon pointed out yesterday, "In .the gynaecological and maternity branches of medical science there is certainly a wide and suitable field for fully qualified medical women, and yet the 'call' for them in ordinary pri vate practice ls practically non-ex istent. "Women generally do not seem to havo accustomed themselves to the idea of consulting their own sex, and it was not of course to be supposed, nor was it ever anticipated, that the services of medical women would be requistioned by men. As time goes on I .think that this prejudice on the part of women against women doctors will-lt ought to be-greatly modi fied, for there is no reason why wom en, with the exceptional gifts that many of .them have, should not be useful in ordinary medicinal.admin istration. On the other hand, I can hardly think that women will ever achieve what I may perhaps call 'pop ularity' as surgeons."-London Tele graph. Wore Man's Clothes. "As there is no law against women dressing* as men, I fail to see why a woman who wore masculine attire was recently detained at Ellis Island hythe Federal authorities," said Mrs. J. D. Grant, of Kansas City, ia the New York Telegram. "The woman in question stated that she masqueraded as a man be cause she could make a better living by doing so, and her explanation was a good one. Neither men nor women dress now as they did twenty-five years ago. The world changes daily, our habits and customs change and our attire undergoes a metamorphosis many times a year. If women are to do the work of men they must discard their skirts, particularly if their du ties require them to work about ma chinery. "The lives of hundreds of women are endangered daily when they wear long, awkward skirts nmr belting, wheels and machinery. Managers of factories will soon find it advisable to compel their female employes to ?on male attire when at work.

Folk Dances For Children. The work was done quietly and un obtrusively; sometimes the newspa pers noticed that there was a move ment on foot to teach dancing in the public schools, but outside of those directly interested in the progress of this movement, few people under stood what it meant or the extent to which it had been carried out until there appeared at Van Cortlandt ? Park, on the afternon of September 12, one of the prettiest sights ever m jen against a background of sloping l/reensward, quiet lake and shady Etees. Four or five hundred children, representing nearly every nation in Jismopolitan New York City, were dancing upon the grass-as their mdfathers and . grandmothers dalnced at home upon the village grfeen-the folk dance of Germany, Scotland, Ireland,' Spain, Russia. Italy, Poland, Bohemia, Sweden and Hungary, and dancing them with a precision and verve that red the most complete compre si?n and whole hearted enjoy on the part of the dancers. So ?s was posible, each one of the cal dances was given by the ren of that nationality, and the ones wore over their slmplo dresses some distinguishing te of the national costume. And hese children did dance! The of the orchestra was-thorough rmpathy with them and^heipfid^ he could, for he stood clear len and devoted his baton to the guidance of the little dancers, as group followed group in quick suc cession! The spectators too shared In the fun, nodding delighted heads and tapping responsive feet to the familiar! rhythms, and rapturous commends in nearly every language in Europe mingled with the frequent applause!
