Lessons In Germany's Rise
For Impatient American
Youth
By the Rev. Dr. NEWELL DWIGMT MILLIS of Brooklyn, N. Y.
STORIES OF THE STAGE.
5"IIEKE ARE rOTENT LESSONS TO BE LEARNED BY
A THE YOUNO MEN OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY
V- FROM THE RAPID RISE OF THE NEW GERMANY
A MONO THE WORLD FOWERS. This rise U not due,
na many would liavo you believe, to tho power or influence of the
Vniwr. It is due, indeed, in great part to tho development of scien
tific industry.
THE YOUTH OF AMERICA IS ANXIOUS TO 8UCCEED, TO GET
AHEAD, TO SHOW RETURNS FOR HIS ENTERPRISE AND HIS
EFFORTS, BUT HE LACKS PATIENCE. HE WANTS TO 8EE HIS
INVESTMENTS TREBLE AND QUADRUPLE THEMSELVES AT ONCE.
HE EXPECTS TOO RAPID RESULTS FROM HIS TIME AND LABOR.
HE LACKS THE APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRY.
The Germans have learned that the greatest good to tho whole
people and to tho country at large comes only through putting into
the common granary with the right hand for tho COMMON BENE
FIT more than they take out for their individual benefit with the
left hand.
Sound morals and tho ability to WORK, WORK, WORK, do
ing nil that can be dono with scienco to aid, converting a barren sandy
soil into rich producing areas, thinking seriously on the great problems
of life, eschewing the frivolous teachings and literature and WORK
ING WITH THE FUR FOSE IN VIEW OF BETTERING THE
WHOLE FEOFLE, thus "new Germany" has been transformed.
THE YOUTH OF THIS COUNTRY MAY WELL LOOK TO THE FU
TURE FOR SUPREMACY, EVEN WITH THE VAST AND ALMOST UN
LIMITED RESOURCES AT THEIR COMMAND, UNLESS THEY LEARN
THE LESSON SO PATIENTLY TAUGHT BY THIS RISING POWER.

A Splendid Accident Averted and an
Aotor Who Dined Too Wall.
Here tit an Incident that was related
by (be lute I! raw Stoker, for many
yearn manager to IrvluK of tbe produc
tloa of "Iluuilet" at tlie Lyceum Id
Londou.
Oil tbe second night of tbe perform'
a nee tbe Cbiuese ambassador and Sir
ilalllday Macartney came to ee In' lug
Id bis dressiug room, and preseutly tbe
ambassador, wbo was wearing mag'
olflceut robes of mandarin yellow, wan
dered off Id tbe direction of tbe at age.
Tbe ambassador waa close to tbe edg
of tbe arcb at tbe back of tbe scene,
wbere Ophelia bad made her entrant
and would make ber exit. Mr. Stoker
"jumped for hlra and just succeeded In
catcblng blui before be bad passed Into
tbe blaze of tbe limelight I could
fancy tbe sudden amazement of tbe
audience and tbe wild roar of laughter
that would follow wben In tbe midst
of this most aad and pathetic of scenes
would enter unheralded this gorgeous
anachronism."
Mr. Stoker confessed that be waa
tempted to let tbe splendid accident oc
cur. "Its unique grotesqueness would
have Insured a widespread publicity
not to be acquired by ordinary forma
of adteitlseiiieut."
On another occasion a very different
and very painful contretemps did oc
cur. The actor who took the part of
Polonius on entering gave bis flrnt line
with so strange an Intonation that IrV'
lng at once signed to the prompter to
lot fall the act drop, came forward and
apologized to the audience and restart
ed the play with new Tolonlus!

WOMEN AND CARD GAMES.
In Chile Such a Combination Would
Croat a Semation.
A woman who Is a native of Chile
was talking recently about the dim
culty she had In accustoming herself
to card playing among women when
ahe came to this country. She sold:
'In Chile card playing among wom
en Is undreamed of. Perhnps It la not
too much to say that a Chilean woman
would no more pluy cards than a New
York woman would enter a Broadway
saloon. It Isn't that It Is exactly or
wholly a matter of morals with us.
It Just Isn't the thing to do. It la not

Cracks In tho Floor.
There nro several ways of stopping
the cracks In a lloor between boards
that have shrunken apart. One Is to
tear newspapers Into small bits and
soak them In Hour paste, having the
paste warm. Stir this until thick and
fill the crack with It, using a broad
knife to smooth the paste down Into
the cracks. Or sawdust and glue may
be used with the same result To a
pound of glue allow a gallon of water,
and when melted stir Into It line saw
dust until It Is stiff paste. Fill the
cracks with this, packing It us solidly
as possible, smoothing even witb a

Holping a Friend, Ho Unearthed
ton for Himself.
Perbaua thera l no more curious
chapter In the history of the chuueery
court than that of two Pittsburgh
wen. Tbe first bad clului to a small
state abroad, but he did not have tbe
money to pay tbe clulm agency to
make a search, ao be got a friend to
back him.
Tbl friend's name was Peterman,
and tbe money be advanced was like a
axub stake ha waa gambling on his
friend' claim proving up.
One day when Peterman was at the
claim agency office be came upon this
advertisement in tbe agency flies: "Pe
terman (Albertus), musician, born In
Amsterdam In 1820, son of Charles
Frederick and Henrietta Suzanna Gas
man. Ieft for Liverpool in ISM. He
Is sought for Inheritance by M. Con'
tot, avocat 21 Boulevard Et Germain,
Paris."
That was the Inception of the fa
mous "Klnsey docks" case, the name
coming from the fact that the original
Peterman was last seen at Klnsey
docks, In Liverpool. The claim agency
took the matter In hand, traced Peter
man's lineage back and enabled htm
to establish a good claim to an Inher
itance of $200,000.
That was a case of fortune being
thrust upon a man. Lewis Edwin

JOBS FOR THE INDIGENT.
Swlaa Method of 8olving th Problem
of th Unemployed.
In Switzerland the people act upon
the theory that a man who Is unem
ployed la. If left to himself, liable to
become a waste by being a subject of
charity and a tax upon the community.
Therefore tbe problem is considered as
an economic question.
Tbe purpose Is to assist the unfor
tunate unemployed to secure work, not
only for the sake of his family, but In
tbe Interests of tbe state. There Is no
toleration for the loafer. Begging Is
prohibited by tbe law, and vagrancy is
classified as a crime.
If an unemployed person does not
make a serious effort to find work the
authorities will find it for him, and
he la compelled to perform It If he
refuses be is placed in the workhouse,
where strict discipline is maintained
and every Inmate is required to work
to bis full capacity, receiving therefor
his board and lodging and from 5 to
10 cents a day In wages.
There are also Institutions where
temporary employment is furnished to
persons out of work, through no fault
of their own. and comfortable accom
modations and some money compeusa
tlon given uutil they can find more re
muneratlve wages. Chicago Tribune.
Motherly Advice.
"My dear, you mustn't be so sharp
with strange young men. You know
you may give tnem a wrong impres
slon "
"What's the matter now, mother?"
"You scarcely sxiUe a word to that
young mau you were introduced to
last evening."
"I didn't like his way. mother."
"Did you know htm?"
"No; I'd never met him before."
"Do you know anything about him?"
"Nothing, except that he seemed to
me to lie very Impertinent."
'Still, you shouldn't have snubbed
him. at least until you had learned
more about him. Once I snubbed a
young man thnt way without knowing
who he was. and I regretted It ever
after, Iiocause I found out later that
he was very rich. I might have mar
ried hlra If 1 bad been more careful.'

Church Doesn't
Need a Press
Agent
By the Right Rev. DAVID
H. CREER. P. E. Bishop
of New York
DO not feel much sympathy with the idea of applying to re
ligion those methods of PUBLICITY which have no doubt
served a very useful purpose in the fields of commerce and
politics. The message which religion bears to mankind is of a
closely INTIMATE AND PERSONAL CHARACTER. Its ap
peal is to the spiritual element in man, and for my part I cannot asso
ciate the teachings of Christ with the kind of public advertisement
which is the business of the PRESS AGENT.
PEOPLE CANNOT BE MADE RELIGIOUS, EXCEPT IN A VERY SU
PERFICIAL WAY, BY PUBLICITY METHODS. THEY MUST HAVE
DEFINITE AND POSITIVE CONVICTIONS AS THE BASIS OF CHAR
ACTER AND CONDUCT, RESULTING IN THE WILL TO LEAD CLEAN,
PURE AND UNSELFISH LIVES.
Nor do I believe that religion is in such a case today that it needs
the QUESTIONABLE AID OF EXPLOITATION BY WAY
OF ADVERTISEMENT. There 1 ias never been a time, in my opin
ion, when men as well as women have shown themselves more inter
ested in questions of religion, which must necessarily appeal to all
thoughtful people and which cannot be dismissed from their considera
tion, than they are today. They may not have definite and fixed re
ligious opinions, but they would like to have them.
CHURCH ATTENDANCE, IN MY JUDGMENT, IS GREATER TODAY
THAN EVER BEFORE IN THIS COUNTRY.
There is also an increasing volume of gifts for charitable works,
and above all there is more personal service than ever being given
daily by the laity to mission and philanthropic work.
