AGED 13 AND A PREACHER,

Many Converts.

During a remarkable series of revival meetings held at Pertle Springs, near Warrensburg, Mo., this summer, a lad of thirteen years was the central figure.

He was Master Ray York, the boy re- vivalist, who has been reguiarly licensed to preach by tho First Baptist Church of Warrensburg and is one of the most suc- cessful Christian workers in the state. He was converted at the age of six in the Baptist Sunday-school, and since that time has evinced deep and earnest interest in religion, coupled with an astonishing maturity of thought and command of language. On Novy. 27, 1893, Ray formal- ly united with the Church, and since that time has been active in evangelistic work.

On Feb. 9, 1894, when not quite twelve years of age, he preached his first sermon, which electrified his audience, and which was, Ray says, as much a surprise to him asto his friends. During last summer’s school vacation he did a good deal of gos- pel work under the direction of his pastor, and in the fall assisted the Rev. R. L. Kirkland in a series of revival meetings at St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Kirkland pro- nounced the boy the best helper he ever had. The lad is a hard student and as soon as he finishes his high school course he will attend a theological seminary. He is slightly built and weighs only about seventy-five pounds. He still wears knee- breeches and a broad boy’s collar. He has brown hair and eyes. His voice retains its childish treble, but is clear and strong. His manner is simple, earnest and !mpres- sive. In his work at Pertle Springs this gifted youth will be assisted by another distinguished boy preacher, the Rev. Ervin i, Leake, aged seventeen years, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Mount Car- mel, Ill,, the youngest regularly ordained pastor in the United States.

Eitile Breeches and the Telephone,

Little Breeches was five years old last week. His five years of mortal experience have included a daily acquaintance with the telephone and, from what happened a day or twoafter his completing his fifth year, he must be a close observer.

Little Breeches has very recently joined a kindergarten. His mother generally calls to take him home at dinner hour, but on this particular day she sent word that he would have to make the home- ward journey of one square and a half by himself, as she was obliged to go some- where else. He formed his own conclusion on general grounds as to where ‘‘some- where else’’ was, so as soon as he found himself at home and a little lonesome, he got a chair and put it in front of the tele- phone.

When Exchange heard the call she ask- ed, as usual, ‘‘ Number?’

But little Breeches wanted no number in particular, so the answer Exchange got was, ‘'Please tell my mamma to come home. She’s at Fourth avenue, two doors from the corner.”’ :

Exchange at once perceived that it was a five-year-old voice, and her general in- formation helped her to help Little Breeches. She knew the number of the telephone from which the little voice came, and she also knew of a big house on Fourth avenue, ‘‘two doors from the cor- ner,’’ where the mistress of the telephone often visited. The natural conclusion was that ‘my mamma’ was at that very house, and that.house is also furnished with a telephone. So Exchange rang up that house and gave the message.

Little Breeches, confident that he had done enough to establish communications with hz absent mamma, quictly hung up the receiver and climbed down off his chair. Just then the front door opened and ‘‘my mamma’’ walked in. Her son thought she must be a very obedient mamma to come so quickly but as she en- sered the room the telephone bell rang again, and, answering the ring, she got from Iixchange the message, ‘‘ Your mam- ma has gone home already, Mr. Little Breeches.’’

Of course, this rather puzzled mamma, but explanations followed from Exchange, supplemented by her son’s own statement of the case.

*‘Didn’t you get any message, mam- may?’ he asked in a disappointed tone.

A Talk-Meter Wanted,

The man who wishes to take o short out to fame and fortune has now the chance of his life before him. The crying need in the telephone business is a talk-meter, an automatic arrangement by which language can be measured off and recorded in speci- fic lengths. ‘he telephone exchange peo- ple say that the garrulity of some of their subscribers is appalling, and that the trouble is nct confined to one sex. The sound of their voices in the telephone transmitter has for some people a great fascination, and they will be ringing up ‘“‘central’’ all day if they find the most trivial pretext. The telephone companies say thatin this way a large amount of work is unduly thrown on the exchange employes, They hold that the fault is with the system, and that if the peopie could be made to pay according to the number and lengths of their calls, they would make more temperate and legitimate use of the instrument. Philadelphia is approaching the idea. The Bell Telpehone Company there gives what is called a measured ser- vice, the ‘‘ measurement”’ being determin- ed by the number of calls or connections, each five minutes’ conversation or fraction thereof being counted asacall. This gives subscribers rates in proportion to the use of their instruments. Somesuch method as this will have to @me into general use if the abuse of the telephone is to be arrest- ed. Seven hundred and fifty millior. tele- phone messages were sent over the wires last year, averaging about ten messages to every man, woman and child in the Unit- ed States. Telegrams never exceeded one per head per year.

Hair Dressing in Africa,

In some sections of the Dark Continent great stress is laid upon the proper style of hair-dressing. As it must answer for months, no wonder that careful attention should be given to the process. Women demanding such service must compose themselves full length upon a mat of reeds or rushes; the attendant, sitting at the head of the subject, combs witha long pin the matted locks that have not been under treatment for months, now and then snip- ping off an offending look, to be a little later used in some form of original orna- mentation quite unknown in nature's comely modelling.

To give full scope to her genius, this fe- male barber s0 arranges the bumerous plaits that the full sweep of native artistic talent may be amply shown. The long braids, dripping with oil of questionable fragrance, are made to form grotesque fig- ures and shapes; and the recumbent lady must for hoyrs be patiently obedient, no matter how lofty hey social position, for a long period must intervene before she again submits herself to the severe and wearisome operation.

[SUICIDE INCREASES. ,MANY TITLED PERSONS INDULGE IN IT.

{n the English Peerage in the Present Gen-

eration---Also in the Continental Aristoc- |

racy,and Royal Yamilies---some Notable

Suicide is increasing among the aristoc racy to such adegree that those unsophis- | ticated people who fondly imagine that to

be a Jord is the culmination of bliss must | have their faith in this respect somewhat shaken.

Among the most notable suicides in the Finglish peerage within the memory of the present generation are those of the Duke of Bedfcrd, probably the richest peer of the British realm, and the Marguis of Lon- donderry, who was driven to desperation by blackmailers, who preyed upon the in- famous vice for which he was noted. Lord Congleton, the head of the !

house of Par- nell, tcok his own life, and so did the Karl of Delaware, Lord. Lyttleton, Lord Clon- curry, Viscount Forth, whose son, Lord drummond, died in New York, a porter in the employ of the New York World, and the Earl of Munster, an illegitimate son of King William IV. ‘There are others to whom the coroner’s jury gave the benefit of the doubt in ascribing. their death to ac- cident, such as Lord Drumianrig, eldest son of the Marquis of Queer sberry; the late Karl of Lonsdale and the Juke of Hamil- ton, who is pretty generally known to have blown out his brains while crazed with the pain of gout during a visit to Algiers

Suicides are also frequent in the Contin- ental aristocracy. There is not a court in Kurope the annals of which have not been darkened in recent years by self-inflicted death. Onby a fow weeks ago was recorded in these columns the suicide at Naples of Prinee Pignatelli, to whose lovely wife the Crown Prince of Italy has been so devoted that they have been nicknamed *‘the in- @-parables.’’, Then there is the Spanish Duke of San Ca los, principal chamber- ain to the little King of Spain, who blew his brains out in a fit of religious mania the other day on returning home from miass, leaving a letter bewailing his in- ability to attain moral perfection, Just about the same time, Prince Corsini, the popular aide-de-camp of the Duke of Acsta, and so well known to American visitors at Florence,shot himself through the heart on account of losses at gambling. At the court of Vienna, Count Stephen Czaki, son of the Hungarian Cabinet Minister of that name and a chamberlain of the Em- peror, cut his throat in consequence of financial troubles, and at the court of Ber- lin, one of the Princes Reuss, who held a high office in the Emperor’s household, took bis life in the same manner on being taxed by the young monarch with a dis- graceful offense.

Kven in royal families suicide ends many a life, the most notable case, ]er- haps. being that of Queen Isabella's son- in-law, Count Girgent!, who eut his throat in his wife's presence while in a fit of epi- lepsy. A member of the house of Bona- parte, Count Cammerata, belonging to the Lucien branch of the family, shot himself through the heart in his apartments in the Tuileries, in consequence of his inabil- ity to pay his losses at the gambling table The step-father of Queen Marguerite of Italy killed himself in the gardens of the beautiful residence which his wife, the Duchess of Genoa, occupied on the shores of Lake Como. Sultan Abdul Ass‘z stab- bed himself to death with a pair of scissors. Prince Baldwin of Belgium and Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria are known to have comuitted suicide in consequence of their having become entangled in a situa- tion from which it was impossible that they should extricate themselves without @itire loss of honof.

Had the policeman who attacked the coachman of the British Ambassador at Vienna lived in the last century he would long ere this have paid with his life the penalty of his assault. As it is he will be let off with dismissal from the force and aterm of imprisonment. And it must be confessed that he well deserves his punish- ment. It seems that the old English coachman of Sir Edmund Monson got into an altercation about an overcharge in his bill at a restaurant in the Prater. A policeman was called in and took the whole party of waiters, the coachman and his wife, an elderly Englishwoman, off to the police station. The policeman said that on their way thither the Englishman made some threatening movement. There- upon the policeman drew his sword and inflicted several severe cuts on the old man’s head and shoulders until he fell in- sensible. The wife, who interfered, like- wise received a couple of cuts from the policeman’s sword. The matter was taken up by the entire Diplomatic Corps, who joined Sir Edmund Monson in demanding exemplary punishment for this gross in- fraction of their most cherished privileges, namely the immunity of themselves and their servants from interference on the part of the police and civii authorities of the country to which they are accredited.

Swords are far too easily and readily drawn in Germany and Austria. Four young nobleman in military uniform in the streets of Vienna, one of them Count Czaky, son of the statesman of that name, and another, Prince Batthyany, declared that they had been jostled by two Hebrew shopkeepers. To the insulting epithets addressed to them by the officers, the civ- jlians replied in kind. The officers drew their swords and slashed the men until! they fell covered with blood. Before a civil tri- bunal the officers were acquitted. They were censured, however, by their com- manding officer for getting into a quarrel with men whose social status was not such as to permit their according them satisfac- tion inaduel. The climax of the situa- tion is that the lawyer cf the victims, Dr. Rosenfeld, who, durirg the course of his address at the trial, denounced the attack of the four officers upon two unarmed and defenseless men as cowardly, has just been sentenced to pay a tine of 300 florins for having insulted the army of his imperial and apostolic Majesty, the Emperor.

Knowledge,

A man may haveall the knowledge that this world’s life can give him, and yet not bea good man. Knowledge will lift a man higher in this world. Geodness will

lift a man higher in any world. Know- ledge will give a man power, goodness

will give a man direction of power. Know- ledge will consecrate a man’s intellect to get for himself, goodness consecrates man’s intellect to get in order to give for the uplifting of others. —Rev. Dv. Egbert.
