In a “Midnight Bell” Mr, Hoyt has made a most successful effort to rise to ahigher plane as a dramatist. He does not claim to have made a striking success in the production of serious matters, but he does claim that he has more than made up for any dehciency in that direction in the bounteous supply of fun; neither does he claim that he has written a brilliant society comedy or a strong, sus tained, absorbing comedy, The intent of the author is uccomplished in embroidering on the warp and woof of a simple story of vil- lage life some picturesque, homely, natural scenes in which familiar characters are out- lined and exceedingly human characteristics are exhibited, My, Hoyt illustrates in the play the theory of the drama which places a high value on incidents and character, 1n all of his work he has shown a keen insight into the foibles and humorous incidents of human life. He shown remarkable clearness . in gthemand in using every day ma- teral for lsughter-making.

Looking up into the swect, Sympathetic face of the famed authoress, the little baby smiled and put out its wee hands, Dinah Mulock Craik could not resist thi and so she determined to take the child for her own. Quickly it was wrapped up aud it became her baby. Devoted to it, she was yet determined as it grew older it shoald never have Its heart hurt by ~ being told the story of its birth and adoption; so, as soon as the little girl was -able to understand, it was lovingly whispered to her that she had been found on the lavge stone which stood in tk center of the hall, and which always was d rated with flowers, and that God had put h there that her mother might find her, As soon as she grew old enough, it became her daily duty to cut the flowers and arrange thern to make beautiful this great rock that been dug up from the cross-roads and brought there, To her it represented the place where the hands of the angels had rested when thoy laid her down, Curiously enough, the child became very proud of the way in'which she had reached the dear mother who cared for her as lovingly and as tenderly as if she were really of her own flesh and blood. Her birth- day ‘was the day on which she was found, and when the tenth one came around and @ child's party was given her, she was heard askiug one’ little girl, “How old are you " The other one answered, ““I was horn nine years ago “Oh, answered the baby, Hyou were born like other children, but T am better than that; I was found just where God bad placed me.” The childish pride was as amusing as it was pathetic, The years have gone_by, the eyes of the good mother are closed forever to the sights of this word; but the child she cared tor lives in the great town of London, and re- members; and when thé mother of “John Halifax, Gentleman,” and of this girl stands before Almighty God, don’t you think that He will say—*"As ye have ‘done it unto the least of these, so will I unto you,” Dr. Birney cures catarrh, Bee bldg. - Conversation Classes. It may not be generally known that half a dozen gentlewomen earn a handsome living in New' York City by holding conversation classes, and glying private lessons in that most difficult of avts, says the Ilustrated American.

Then again, elderly pe come and insist on private coaching; and these the professors say are hard: est to teach. Often shy and filled with con- sternation at the sound of their own voices, it is next to impossible to instill courage, with or grace into their manner of talking.

That great thinker, Frobel, declared that the unfolding and feeding of the higher life of emotion was the most dificult part of the rearing of child- ren, and that from that springs all that is best in tho race; and that, we all know, is almost exclusively'in the hands of women— of mothers and grandmothers, aunts and elacr sister.
