i4 TALKING TO YOUNG MEN. & Meeting Conducted by the Student Evangelists From Prinecton. Several hundred young men composed the audience that met last evening in the gymnasiam hall of the ¥. M. C. A. to hear the Princeton students. The spectacle was a rather ‘unusual one, as itis seldom that such a large number of those who are really young men can be gotten together for a religious meeting. Here and there was n head that was beginning to be silvered with gray or showing the light shades that indicate approaching baldness. But such heads were not numerous. It was eminently an audience of young men and they threw all their vigor of growth into the sing- ing of the hymns with which the services were interspersed. They were aided and abetted by a strong male choir, which was seated near the platform, and were led by the voice of Mr. Goldsbarv, who is the singing stadent. The tunes selected bad a lively ing and rhythm, and the way the audien and the choir took hold of them and rolled t melody out in great waves made the high ceil- ing of the gymnasium resound, and even caused commotion among the ropes and swings that were from overhead. There was no question about the singing; the boys were dead in earnest about that. They were attentive lis- ‘teners to the other parts of the service, which was not long and was not allowed to drag. ‘THE TALKING MEMBER. , Mr. Pierson isthe talking member of the firm, although it must not be inferred that Mr. Goldsbary cannot talk, for he can. It is not so jain that Mr. Pierson can sing. Mr. Pierson made the address of the evening. In order that he might keep within the limits of time, he talked like a steam engine and glanced now and then at aclock. There is nothing slow about Mr. Pierson when be gets fully warmed up to his sub- ject, which was the case last evening. Argument, appeal. anecdote and ex- hortation flowed slong in the rapid stream of his talk, which could wm. rrensox.° only be checked, it seemed, by the inexorable hands of the clock. However, no one wanted him tostop. He is an interesting speaker and the young men followed him with eager attention. He spoke of the importance of being steadfaxg in the Christian life, in beginning the Christian life and.n cor ing to the decision to begin. He said that some ple bad an idea that if they belonged to a tian family they would be counted in with the family and all saved asa family. Personal religion, he said, was not like the smallpox, which would run through an entire family, but @ matter of individual responsibuity and de- termination. Hegspoke of the essentials of Christian life, prsvyer, Bible reading and work for Christ and told his hearers how all these could be made a partof the daily living. It was a plain, practical talk, full of good points, happily iliustrated and ‘permeated with the ernestness which comes from honesty of pur- pose. DISTRIBUTING CARDS. When he had finished there was a word of prayer and then cards were distributed, bear- img the inscription, “I desire henceforth to lead @ Christian life, ith a space below f« mame and address. 1 Ne Thee Every Hour” was sung, and ut Mr. Pierson’s request every head was bowed, and while a verse was sung softly those pres- ent who were so incli were asked to sign their § names tothe cards. ‘The °», ushers gathered in a stack of cards, and ther! promptly on the hour * the meeting was brought OS SER \ to a close. | The large @ Say? tion, however, re~ Th Trained for the exper XK. coupsntny. ence meeting, which was begun at once and tontinued fora half hour, when opportunity for speech was given to those who desired to make a request for prayers in their behalf. Diss Kimball, whose solos seem to be much preciated, sang at the opening of this part of the service the hymn, “Why Not No The Princeton students will conduct the meeting this evening and the one tomorrow, which will conclude their week of meetings in this city. During their stay some seventy per- sons have indicated their intention of begin- ning a Christian life, which does not inclade the conversions reported at the meetings held for boys. hee alm VIEWS OF TH. LIEERALS, A Tenants’ Rights Bill to Go Into the New- castle Platform. ‘The English liberal Icaders have decided to incorporate in the platform approved at the weastle conference an English tenants’ rights Dil. This decision is one of the most important steps that the responsible chiefs of the party have ever taken. The question of ameliorating the position of British farmers by giving them greater security for their canital and freedom from harassing covenants imposed by Isndlords bas long been recognized as ripening toward liberal legislation. The maznitude of the lib- eral victory in South Molton and the conviction that the capture of the rural vote by the lib- erals will lead them to overwhelming success fn the general elections have litted the measure im favor of tenant farmers into the front rank ‘of liberal proposals. ‘This resolution on the part of the liberals has been hastened by the movement of the conservatives in the same di- rection. The history of the conservative party pre- sents no change more surprising or more sud- den than that which has occurred on the Eng- | lisp land question under a dread of what would happen to the landlords’ interests through an uprising of laborers and farmers under liberal banner. Since the South Mol- ton election the tory Globe has led in advo- eating the adoption in England of the princi- ‘of the Irish land purchase act. The r must have power to acquire small piots ef land cheaply and through simple methods, and the state must also assist farmers to become owners after a certain number of years without paying more than the customary renta is was the tenor of speakers’ opinions at en informal gathering of influential conserva- tives at the Carlton Club in London on Wednes- Gay, and it has since been communicated to Lord Selisbury, with an additional appeal from ber of party agents, to the effect that if inh land legislation precede everything else atthe next session of parliament anda measure be presented acceptable to the agri- enltural interest, triumph instead of disaster will be the result of the government's appeal to the country. It is expected that Lord Salisbury will ailay the anxiety of his support- ers by giving some inkling of his intentions in # speech at the conservative caucus on Mon- day next. In the meantime it is uncertain to what length the liberal leaders will go in shap- the tenant farmers’ bill. The drift of opinion at the National Liberal Club is in favor of giving the farmers judicial rents, fixed as in Ireland, for a definite period, and ‘purchasing similar to those granted by the Ash- act. Mr. Gindatone retains an oj tind on the subject, on which ne will speak at the agricultural couference to be held at the ‘National Liberal Club on December 10. aaa Bravely Ended a Bad Life.

An Animal Which May Soon Become Ex- tinet. “The flesh of young giraffes, and of fat cows especially, is excellent; there is the least musky favor, perhaps, but it is not unpleasant,” writes an authority in Chambers’ Journal. The tongue and marrow bones are great delicacies, the latter particularly furnishing the rarest and most delicions banquet of the African hunter. Few beasts of the chase are more poorly en- dowed with means of defenso; but even the mild giraffe, when wounded and brought to = stand, will, if the hunter approaches from the front, chop at him with its fore feet, and a blow from such a limb is an exceedingly dan- gerous one. I have questioned many hunters giraffe uses its legs in any other system of de- fense. At the present time the giraffe is mainly sought after for the value of its hide, which, even so far up country as Khama's town (Palachwe), now commands a value of from £2 10s. to £4 108. a skin, varying to age and sex. The hide of a tough, > skinned old bull, from an inch to an anda quarter in thickness, is of course the mogt sought after. When one of these great crea- tures lies prone upon the veldt, it seems as if enveloped in a mantle of brass, andthe fingers can make no impression whatever upon the carcass. Not many years since the hides of the rhinoceros and hippopotamus furnished ox whips and riding whips—colonially known as sjamboks—all over South Africa. it the rbi- noceros is all but exterminated south of the Zambesi; the hippopotamus becomes scarcer year by year, and the hide of the gireffp is con- sequently in'greatly increased demand. A few Yoar® back there happened » dearth of sjambok ide, the price of whips rose immensely, and a giraffe skin sold readily for £5 and more. Forthwith parties of Dutch and native hunters flocked into the Kalahari, and scores upon scores of giraffe were slaughtered. On coming out with their loads the hunters discov- ered that they bad overstocked the market and that prices had rapidly fallen again. Most up- country natives, especially the Bechuanas, use the hide of the giraffe for making the neat san- dals they habitually wear. preferring it for its strength and tougliness to any other. It seems a pity that for the sake only of whips and san- dals, and to furnish the hunter with meat and an exciting form of sport, this stately creature should be exterminated from south central Africa, as it bids fair soon to be. —_—_—$§+oo—__— GOWNS ON APPROVAL. ‘The Serious Result to 2 Woman Who Wore One.

To be sure, one musn't go too often, and once in a while one must buy a gown. But doing as I, yes, and as many others do, for the price of one gown one can have the use of several. Only one must be careful not to commit the error a friend of mine did.” “What was that?” “Why, she took a gown and kept it for sev- eral days. Of course, gowns sent on approval are not expected to’ be worn. But the cle who received it aud found in the pocket alady’s card case and pinned inside the waist a letter received from a gentleman friend, must at least have had his suspicions aroused that the gown had been worn. I don't know what wor sent back with the case and letter, but I do know that she doesn’t give Field the benefit of her custom any more.” Whereat both laughed heartily, and, calling the waiter, ordered two pieces of pie. Mexico’s Mining Industry Involved. A San Antonio special says: Judge Pardee of the United States circuit court yesterday rendered his decision in the celebrated ore seizure case, which was reviewed by him several days ago in appeal taken by the Secretary of the Treasury from the United States board of federal appeals in New York city. By the de- cision today the action of that board is reversed and annulled and the case will now come up and be tried on its merits in the federal court here.

From the Chicago Tribune. There was a patch over his eye, two or three bruises on his face and one arm was in a sling. Consequently it was the most natural thing in the world that bis friend should ask him what bad happened. “Well, I'll tell you,” he said. ‘and I want you to say that it's a blamed outrage that men should act that way. You knew Brinks?” ‘Certainly. “Well, Brinks and I were having a quict ar- gument.

Certainly I had no feeling ip the matter, but be—I don't see howa man can s0 far forget bimself as he did.” ‘What did he do?” “Why, he made some statements in the ment that I couldn't agree to, and T told hin that far be it from me to descend to personali- ties or to say anything that was ungentle- manly—understand, I explained to him that T bad no desire to give offense—but that his last tement was a dash bianked lie and that no gentleman would say such a thing.” ‘And he hit you?" ‘No, not then; but be didn’t take it right.

SATURDAY, FROM “THE MODERN GULLIVER” From the New York Times. * * * And so, after I had dried myself somewhat and collected the remainder of my strength, I crawied weakly and wearily up from the bench to the top of the bluff. On one side was the cruel sea and jast below me were the fragments of the wreck of our good ship, and Tsobbed as I thought of all the gallant men who had gone down in ner, and only I, the un- worthiest, remained. Before me stretched « plain of sandy, barren country covered with scant bushes and dwarf trees, and beyond these were low, wooded hills. Was there a human boing in this vast solitude? There was nothing for mie to do but te travel inland as soon and as possible, before my body gave 0 aaly toms exheustion, and nos it 3 could ind living souls to succor me, or, failing, to die alone in the wilderness. For hours—it seemed days—I trudged slowly on through the thick, sharp underbrush. Gradually the character of the country changed. Grass began to spring under my feet, the bushes bécame trees and 1 was soon in the midst of a majestic, primeval forest. \ Still, I saw no of human footsteps. But suddenly—I thought it was an angel—I heard a girl's sweet voice singing far off toward the east from me. I.plunged madly in that di- rection. The maiden, too coming toward me, ulthough she was evidently not yet aware of my presence. Soon I saw her coming along fe a sort of avenue in the trees. ve been, for all her dress or face England school girl.

She was about eighteen, with light hair and eyes, and dancing along in her girlish innocence she ‘was a picture out of heaven to me, a heartsick marine: But one little peculiarity about her I forgot fo mention, though it is hardly worth while. She was carrying her head under her arm. When she caught sight of me she came fear- lessly toward me. I asked her if she would rect_meon my way. As I accosted her she calmly picked up her head, put it on her shoul- ders and in the sweetest voice imaginable an- swered that she would be most happy to do so. e walked along, chatting gaily I already felt all my old strength coming back to me in the sunshine of her young presence. But alter Thad asked and auswered » number of ques- tions my inborn curiosity could not prevent my inquiring in regard to her slight cranial idio- syneracy, as 1 politely termed it. In other wonds, what did she mean by taking her head off? “Why, sir,” said she, “what country do you come from, or in what distant part of ibe world do you live, that you are so ignorant? Do you not know that you are in thut far-famed land falsely called the Land of the Fountain of Per- petual Youth, and aro you not aware that « drink of our famous waters makes our mem- bers independent of each other, so that we can dotach them st will? Just now, for example, 1 took my bead off to keep it cool.” “But what should you do if you should lose our as young ladios are often said to do?” said I. This was a joke. “Oh, no, sir!” said ehe. “We have learned not to'be 50 foolish as that, especially if any young men are likely to be around to find them. But think how useful this wonderful power is. Suppose I want to pick an apple from the top of this tree. I could never climb it, and the girls of our country would not be so weak as to ask any man to do it for us, so all I have to do is to stretch out my hand hke this,” and she slowly lifted her arm like a derrick until it was at least fifteen feet long, and pick- ing a fine fall pippin presented it to me. “Then,” she continued, “if I want to see the surrounding country, instead of climbing some distant mountain, I can just raise my head a trifle like this,” and up went her head like telegraph pole with an orange on top of it, until she was atleast three rods in height. Com= ing down handsomely, as the expression is, sh remarked breathlessly: ‘How is that for high: I told her I had heard of peopte holding their noses up in the air, but I had never before seen any one so toplofty as she. fe can siso detach our members if neces- sary,” said she. “Let me show you;” and inan instant there tlewin the air a confused vision of arms, legs, head, shoulders, &c., until she looked like a circus ridez caught in a cyclone. Thad heard of folks flying all to pieces—in anger; bat I had never seen anything like it. Tasked her if it was not rather exhausting to her to throw herself around so. She said it was avery popular form of exercise. I told her this might do for excitement once in a while, but Ipreterred to see people more collected. “But,” said she, “this is rather hard on the little boys, for when their mothers wish to keep them home from play all they have to do is to take off one of their lege and lock it up, and then the lad has to stay at home or else go out one-legged.” She said that wives found this was a good way to keep drinking husbands home nights.

Then you can go to work the same day an usual and nevor mits them.” That was a rather equivocal re- entered the whole motive was furnished by countless pairs of human arms turning the wheels.

But my whole stndy of these interesting phe- nomena was interrupted by an occurrence for which I could never see that I was to blame. We were walking in the fields, this young woman who had been so kindly showing me the way and myself, when suddenly she knelt at my feet ard began as follows: “Ob, unknown stranger, you are my destiny. 1 have loved you ever since I have known you. Will you be mine?” I was somewhat surprised, for this was a little out of my line. I had been bold enough to “bean” a young lady home from prayer meet- ing once or twice, and I had once even cut out a cross-eyed fellaw who wore scarlet mittes but Thad never come within several furlongs of ing the question, to suy nothing of having it popped! to me: But hore was the young git! knecling before me, and 1 must an she looked very pretty. her upturne pleading eyes. Did thie people enjoy.a per- tual leap year as well as perpetual youth? low could I know that this was her first and only love? A damsel of two hundred and forty odd summers had had time to have experiences without number to which I was a perfect stranger.

I couldn't let my wife know more than I did. ‘ihen thin strange country, with its queer customs—how did I know but what she would be swapping me off some day, as she did her face and eyebrows, when she got tired of me?

But the young woman was waiting—and I never keep young women waiting. “Nay, fair creature,” I said sadly, “it cannot be. You are too elastic, I fear, in your make- up.

At length I fell into her remorseless clutches, breathless, gave one last. despairing yell, and, ‘as is usual in stories of this character, woke up, most conveniently, ———_es_____ NOT TO BE FOOLED WITH. She Didn't Want John to Break Away for s ‘Trifle Like That. From the New York Recorder. She wore a blue calico dress and had rosy cheeks. She stood for over an hour shyly walk- ing up and down near a corner letter box on Sth avenue yesterday afternoon. By and by the letter carrier came along, and she seemed to breathe easier. “Can I have it back?” she said, blushing furiously. “Have what back?” said the carrier, with a look of deep interest in his sad eyes. “Why the letter I just mailed to Jobn.” “Ah, John is your beau, eh?” “Who told you?” she asked, blushing like a winter apple. “You live in the big brownstone house?” “Ugh, ugh.” “And get all those letters with the pink en- velopes?” “-Yes—yes, that’s the kind John uses.” you probably had a little spat, mark, but i hoped she didn't mean anything by it, and so I simply told her that (didnt think it worth while; I'never used mine enough to make it pay.

I postponed » trial of the marvelous effects of the water. To tell the truth, I was a little afraid to “let myself loose. It occurred to me to ask how they could pnn- ish criminals, “for their different parts would escape oue byone.” “Well,” she answered, “I believe they did have a good deal of trouble that way. They used to box up the parts sep- arately and ship them todistant quarters of the world, and then let them find their way to- gether again as best they could. ‘The chances were that the man would never come to him- eeif, if I may say so, enough toever be of much use to himself or of much damage to anybody else.

It isn't consid- ered good form to doit. None but the poor die—those who cannot afford to pay the differ- ence of an exchange.” “Do I understand, then,” said I, “that when you find yourself growing old you look for somebody who is {oanger than you.but poorer, and pay him toseil his young and healthy mem: bers and take inexchange your old and decrepit ones?” “That is our system.

Singing the Baby to Sleep, ‘From the New York Sun. “Sometimes,” said an- experienced nurse, “the numerical system of singing is decidedly usefal. Many a mother in singing a restless child to siéep has sung the came song over and over again, repcating the verses indefinitel Usually this form of rhythmic repetition is ef- fective: there are few children that can hold out for more than an hour or two against it if the voice is gentle and the singing is continued without a break and witha gradually decreas- ing volume of tone. Kut occasionally it hap- pens that just as the child is about to go to sleep there is a brief period when its senses, though veiled by drowsiness, are really remarka- blyacute, aud when the work of hours may easily be upset in an instant. A momentary halt in the singing may awaken the child; the almost imperceptible rustle attending the bending forward to sce if the child is asleep may have the same effect, and there comes a time when even the words of the song striko the sensitive nerves with wakeful rather than with restful impulses. Here is where the numerical system muy be used to advantage, substituting for the regular words of the song with their dissimilar and therefore somewhat disturbing sound waves other words more nearly uniform in character. “Suppose, for instance, the mother is sin; ing ‘Grandfather's Clock,’ and that she has been singing it for an hour or an hour and a half, and has repeated the verses maybe seventy or eighty times. At the critical moment be- tween wakefulness and sleep she glides gently into ‘Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three, thirty-fonr, thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-se thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven.’ “The similar sounds which these words pro- duce make but the faintest ripple on the eensi- tive ear and generally ten or ufteen verses of the song 80 sung are enough for the purpose.” ——+ee____| Had Certainly Been Inposed Upon.
