was planned some of the members
were disturbed on account of its size.
They thought that the provision of so
large an auditorium was entirely un-
called for, the attendance at that time
being only nbout 550.
Mrs. Eddy, organized the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston
in 1879 with twenty-six members. So
slow was the growth of the movement
at first that In 1889, ten years later,
there were only eleven churches.
From that time, however, the increase
was more rapid. In 1899, there were
301 churches. There are now 057
churches and 275 societies not yet or-
ganized as churches, making 932 so-
cieties holding church services. In
1889 there were only 45u members in
the entire connection. In 1894 the
total membership was 2,53(1. Five
years later it had reached 18,134.
These figures show that the principal
growth has taken place during the
past seven years. The membership at
the present time is about 72,000.
The dedicatory exercises wore at-
tended by visitors from all parts of
the United States and Canada, from
Great Britain, Australia, Sweden, Den-
mark, France, Germany, Switzerland,
tlio Hawaiian Islands. South America
and other foreign countries.
One hundred and forty-five church
edifices have already been erected by
the Christian Scientists. These, as a
whole, compare favorably with those
of the older denominations. It is
said that when funds arc no longer
needed for tlio completion of the
Mother Church a large number of
buildings will be commenced in dif-
ferent parts of the country.
EARTHQUAKE RECORDERS.
They Are the Most Delicate of All
Instruments.
The instruments invented for the
recording of the motions of the earth's
crust during an earthquake are looked
upon by scientists as the most deli-
cate of all machines. So highly sen-
sitive are they, indeed, that the very
slightest vibratory motion is recorded
perfectly. Even the tread of feet can-
not escape this instrument, if sufficient
to cause vibration.
There are three classes of instru-
ments for the automatic recording of
earthquakes, each with its own partic-
ular function. First is the seismo-
and fished out Antonio. The police-
man had only one oar, and it was
awkward work getting to the hoy and
lilting him into the boat.
When tlio signora saw that her son
was safe the anguish in her face gave
way to a look of resolute purpose, and
ns tlie dripping Antonio was placed on
the wharf she laid him across her knee
and did what Neapolitan nnd other
mothers have done to their erring
jewels ever since boys wore pants.
Her Muster lUns u Gentleman.
A Boston couple were recreating
near Augusta, and met an old negro
woman to whom they took a fancy.
They invited her to pay them a visit,
and the colored woman accepted, es-
pecially as her expenses were to be
paid.
In due time she arrived in Boston
and was installed in the house of the
white folks. She was given one of the
best rooms, and ate a* the same table
with her host and hostess.
At one of the meals the hostess said:
“Mrs. Jones, you were a slave, weren’t
you ?’’
“Yes, mum," replied the old colored
woman. “I belonged to Mars Robert
Howell.”
“I suppose he never invited you to
eat at his table?" remarked the Bos-
ton lady.
“No, honey, dat he didn’t. My mar-
ster was a gemmen. He ain’t never let
no nigger set at the table ’longside er
him.”
Eschew Teeth Examinations.
Never look a gift horse in the
mouth; hut if he’s spavined or knock-
kneed there’s nothing to hinder your
taking account of these accomplish
ments.
Could Talk United Stales.
A Cuban negro, wlio came to Aln-
who is ixmsi<|cri*l the best educated
Indian in the world, agreed to person-
al!) undertake the task of Inducing In-
people to adopt the system of family
names desired by the government.
.lust what this responsibility meant
will Im* better understood when It Is
explained that not only was Dr. East-
man to visit all the Indian villages of
the Sioux tribe and personally bestow
names but lie must also devise or In-
vent the new name*. Just Imagine
selecting given names for 25,000 per-
sons of I ml It sexes and apportioning
perhaps half as many or one third a*
many different family tiumcs in ad-
dition.
In this portion of his novel mission-
ary work for Uncle Sam the Name
Giver, as the Sioux now term their
educated tribesman, has displayed rare
judgment and a fine regard for family
history nnd tradition among the Sioux
—a thoughtfulness that 1ms done
much to win the good will of those
intelligent hut conservative Indians
for the new project. Whenever pos-
sible he has perpetuated an Indian’s
old name In his new one. For instance
High Eagle becomes Mr. Ilighcaglc,
Bob-tailed Coyote was changed to
Robert T. Wolf, nnd Rotten Pumpkin
has been transformed into Robert
Pumpian
Dr. Eastman has been making a
round of all tlie* Sioux reservations
which are located for the most part
in the Dakotas and elsewhere in the
Northwest. When lie arrives at a
branch agency, or tribal headquarters,
for the purpose of rechristening the
inhabitants his first move is to have
a conference with the chief men or
counselors of the place. They, in turn,

Their Compass Points lo the South
The Chinese do everything back-
wards, from a Caucasian point of
view. Their compass points to the
South, instead of the north. The men
wear their hair long, while the women
coil theirs in a knot. The dressmakers
are men, the women carry burdens.

“Well, I'll lie smothered!” cried
Reddy, as .Tim pulled out a faded pink
envelope from which fell a Jock of
gray hair and a newspaper clipping
bearing the seared mark- of time. It
was an obituary, praising the life nnd
work of the deceased. The dead
woman. It said, had been an exemplary
wife and mother, and one of the
sweetest, noblest and most honored
members of the community. Her loss
was therefore mourned by every one

She left an only son. All this the hoy
read aloud, amid frequent stops to
quit the profession.'1

The four-year-old daughter of a
clergyman was ailing one night and
was put to bed early. As her mother
was about to leave her she called her
back.
“Mamma,” she said, “I want to see
my papa.”
“No, dear,” her mother replied,
"your papa is busy and must not be
disturbed.”
“But, mamma,” the child persisted,
“I want to see my papa.”
As before, the mother replied: “No,
your papa must not lie disturbed.”
But. tiie little one came back with a
clincher:
“Mamma,” she declared solemnly,
“I am a sick woman, and I want to
see my minister.”
