THEY AEE SPECIALS. iWHY COMMANDER AND MR8. BOOTH RECEIVED THEIR RECALL.

general Booth Intended to Send Them on Salvation Tour—Recruited From' All Classes—Some Salvation Army Specials and How They Carry on Their Work.

The real reason for tbe recall of Comandor and Mrs. Balltngton Booth is at, in the parlance of tbe Army, they are specials," and as such were to go on a •'•pedaling" or "soul saving" tour. "Specials" are men or women of the Army who have become noted, either fcfarough their spiritual endowments or ftbeir peculiar personalities, and it Is a tart of General Booth's policy to send these soldiers to any part of tbe globe where their presence may make for the

Se

ving of souls and a better knowledge of organization of which he is the bead. They are like the stars of the dramatic

Eeir

ofession, but the "speoials" measure suooess not by press notices aBd |)oi office receipts, but by the religious fervor aroused and the number of souls ved, a record of which ia most carefully ipt.

E

It is true that the visits of the "sper

Erger

als" to an£ given place always resale in collections, but the money goes difectly to benefit tbe community in whioh It wds Raised, unless it is for such special Work as the general's "social scheme" or pome qther philanthropy looking to the good of humanity ap large.

Thq resemblance to the star may also be Ifbund in fcho iacfc that before starting cemJjlete^putes are mapped out, with the ^ates (to ie filled, and the tour is advertised In The War Cry, and for two or three

1

flayB previous to the coming of the "spe®ial" in the local papers of the town or pity to bq visited.

TberQ is, too, a "farewell meeting" be1 fore bhp departure and a "welcome home" feieeting on the return.

The greatest of all •'specials" is of course Gener^ Bootb, who has.toured the United

1

States', Canada, Europe, Africa and a part pt 4-sia." tjpon his return from the latter

Sbusiasmwas

lace ho met In London with the enusually accorded to a commander reB^ from great and victorious battles.

Mrs. Catharine Booth-Clibbon, "La areohale," General Booth's eldest aughter, ranks next In importance in 1 {his particular line of work. I La $fareohale began Army life at the pge of 10, aqd In 1881 at her father's request she carried the war into France. A phorfl time after she had opened headquarters In I&ris a sprgeant of police attended

A mqeting and said in great alarm to the jlqcfcy young woman, "You have got half of the cutthroats of Paris here," pointing to her inqtley audience. Today she is one of tjho best l6vo^ women in France. I Froix). prance La Marochale went to I Switzerland, 'where she was imprisoned and expelled frpm the country. She returned, However, and made a genuine conquest, establishing one of tho most flourishing "territories" of tho Army. Among tho most prominent "specials" who have pome here from England from time to time were Colonel Thomas McKie and

Staff Captain Plant, who traveled together around ti»*world. Colonel McKie's work is of the Evangelical order, and he is known AS the»oekt rovivalist in the whole Army. He ig a yqung man of rather slim figure, Dervouti and wiry, and speaks sovaral languages fluently. Staff Captain Plant is rotund and possessed of a laughing face and ft rollicking tenor voice. ,! Another evangelist of international reputation is Colonel Jamas J. Dowdle, who Jgas also toured this country. He sings .well and acoompanios himself on the i®ultar. '^"Obmmnnder and Mrs. Ballington Booth H'&fy frequently made wonderfully successful individual and combination tours through the United States. Tho last tour made by Mrs. Booth was to tho new homo of rest, at Boulah, near Oakland, Cal. She was aocoinpanit^d by Staff Captain Edith Marshall, a "special" whospeaks.'in parlors and drawing rooms and attracts tho upper class of people to the work.

Tho home of rest at Betrlah was founded by Georgo S. Montgomery, a niino owner, known as tho Millionaire Warrior. He, with bis wife, who was Miss Carrie F. Judd of Buffalo, are popular "speoials" and have toured extensively in tho west.

Joe tho Turk is one of the most interesting of this class of Army workers. His rank is that of captain, and his life was a wicked one before he was saved. Ho wears a full Turkish costume, with tho Army colors on his fez, and carries a red, white and yellow umbrella, lettered with words of warning to the erring.

A part of his outfit fs half a dozen wind Instruments, which be plays at meetings. Joo is especially proud of the fact that since ho has been in tho service he has been arrested 72 times while attempting to hold meetings in the streot.

Staff Captain Walsh, tho banjoist, is very popular. He was a negro minstrel before he joined the Army, and houses his cxperioncQ with tolling effect, although be does not black his face.

Ono of the most striking of these soldiers detailed to "specialing" in the Unitod States was Lord Ratna Pala, a converted Buddhist priost of noble birth. Ho was pmall in stature, but handsome in appearance.

Always a favorite of Commandor Booth for work in eastern cities is IJr. Logan, a full blooded Delaware Indian. He sings in broken English and accompanies himself on tho violin and dances Indian steps In his native costume.

Ash Barrel Jimmie, who gained his aamo because ho was found by the soldiers load down in an ash barrel and suffocating, was also a power, but ho is dead, or, in the phrase of his comrades, "promoted." —New York World.

Scores tho "Woman's Bible." In an interview Mrs. Ormiston Chant •aid respecting tho Woman's Bible: ''Is it nqt a pity that women should have made themselves so ridiculous? The attempt has been illiterate, irreverent, stupid and laoking in good sense. They have pbtruded their ignorance and egotism intq a holy place. They have done a profane thing. But even a profane thing may sometimes be dignified. This is beneath consideration, and, in a way, it has all been done at th'e oxpenso of the sex. It is a terrible pity. It mortifies mo to think bow ignorant it all is."

Cathode T*est For Eg?*.

Provision dealers and market men of Boston have discovered a practical usO for the cathode rays. They have decided that the discovery is especially applicable to their business. Egg dealers will uso tho caw light in candling, and it is facetiously suggested that a Roentgen photograph be sold with each egg to prove its freshness. The butter men say that a str«ak of Itfbey in a tub of extra creamery butter "Will be unerringly revealed.

Self Hardening Steel,

The employment of self hardening steel is said to be rapidly extending. It is characterized as a kind of steel which is bard when in' its normal state, as it cools naturally in the atmosphere, there being no necessity of quenching it in water or of pooling it rapidly from a red heat in any manner. It becoihes soft enough to be shaped into 'simple forme when redhot, is of a nature that will not endure a white heat, and is at a much higher temperature at 6uch heat than wrought iron is when it is ^ually luminous, and throws a dark red epark from "the emery wheel when there is inuch carbon in its composition. According to Spauldlng, the well known writer

FJbla kind-of steel Is used it overcomes In a short' time the prejudice which its employment generally meets. Thus tool dressers are" 6afd'to be not favorably disposed to* ward it at the start, because it is very hard to work iptQ shape upon the anvil, and nothing whatever can be done in the way of cutting

OT

bending it when it is cold.

After the tool oomes back to be dressed over there Is danger that defects may be disclosed upon reheating.—New York Sun.

*£e- HISSING KEY."

What Else Could Be Expected on Her Wedding Day? It's beneath a woman's dignity to keep track of keys.

A girl who has been bridesmaid four times, and thereby cut herself off from all prospects of matrimony says, this is what happens at every wedding: The bride gives minute and particular directions about the packing of her trunk. She knows to within tho one hundredth of an inch the exact location of every frill and furbelow and looks on while various members of the family assist in cramming the trays In and forcing the lid down. Methods of accomplishing this differ—sometimes it closes easily and sometimes it is necessary to jump up and down or sit on it. Then the bride to be orders some one to put a strap around it, but one person leaves it to another until the moment for departure arrives. At this juncture the discovery is made that the trunk is not locked, the keys are missing and everybody wonders where the strap oan be.

Twenty minutes until train time. "Where'a your trunk key?" some one asked the groom. "My dear, they are asking for the key to your trunk. Where is it?" "The key (in some perplexity). Why —why, on my key ring, of course ,^ little silver one you gave me that tirup don't you remember, dear?" "Certainly—on tbe key ring.''-: To the anxious searchers, "You'll find the trunk key on a small, heart shaped key ring, my wife says," replies the happy young man. "But where is that?" comes in chorus. "I'm 6ure I don't know," falters tflfe bride almost in tears. "Oh, never mind. There, there bother the trunk. What do we oare?" says the groom.

The bride has a happy thought. "George, I have two keys to that trunk." "Well, you're a wise little woman," in tones of pride from the young husband, while the aunts and cousins say, "She has another key." "But they were both on the same key ring," continues the bride, and the general anxiety is redoubled.

The girl who has been a bridesmaid four times says tho first time this happened the key turned up at the last minute inside of the trunk, and after that she has always looked there the first thing and has never failed to find it.—Chicago Record.

TOILET SUGGESTIONS.

Hints From a Beauty Doctor That Will Improve Poor Complexions. Freckles are due to an excoss of coloring matter deposited in the seoond layer of the skin underneath the cutiole. They are oausad by an excess of iron in the blood. If they aro not of very dark color, they can be bleachcd out, but If they are of the pronounoed brown species, their removal will consist in destroying the outer layers of the skin,

A paste oomposed of vinegar, honey and bitter almonds is said to be good for removing freckles,

As general thing the blood is not responsible for the different blemishes which appear on the faoe. Dirt gets into the pores of the skin, and the result is an eruption of some sort.

Pimples should be oponed with a needle or sbarp knife, the secretion squeezed out and'a lotion of a wineglass of strong vinegar, two on noes q,f glyperln and half a pint of distillod water applied.

For peop'o troubled with moist or oily skin, a hot soapsuds bath once a week is recommended, using castlle soap, as it is of a drying nature. Bay rum and camphor may be used by such persons, as they dry the oil somewhat, when the camphor would parch other complexions. The opium found in the stems of flowering lettuce refines the skin and absorbs the oil. Rub the milky juice collected from broken stems of garden lettuce over the face at night, allowiug it to dry on.

Wrinkles depend on tho attenuation of the skin and the reduction in bulk of the underlying surfacial portions of the body. They are not a disease, but are the results of worry, grimaces, poor health, etc. WrinkleB ought not to appear before the fiftieth year, but how often wo see them at 25. The more delicate the skin the more subject it ia to these disfigurements.— Philadelphia Times.

Closing Scenes of Dumas' Life. The particulars of tbe manner in which M. Alexandre Dumas spent his last day, given by those who were prosent at Villa Champflenr, at Marly, are interesting, Tho improvement which hjJd been noted in the morning continuod the whole day,

BO

that the members of the family folt their bopus revivo. The doctors seem to have been rather (skeptical, but Mme. Dumas and tbe daughters of the oelebrated writer wore overjoyed.

Tho patient wa« cheerful and smiling He even joked, and had, in the morning, turned everybody out of the room by an affectionate rebuke. He eaid: "This is really too muoh. Wbat are you all doing, sitting about in my room? It-is really extraordinary. Cannot I be left alone in my own apartment? My children, you really take advantage of my good nature."

They were all going out, but he called them back again, smiling ahd' everybody laughed with him. At nQOn, Jipw?ver, he sent them to the dining for breakfast and asked for a 'oup oi tea for himself. Ashe had done in the early morning, he took the cup in both hands and drank the'tea without any difficulty. Mme. Dumas trembled with mingled Joy and fear she dared not believe in what seemed so extraordinary an improvement.

It was close upon 7 o'olock when the ohange occurred the patient suddenly experienced two suooessive nervous tremors, and fell back dead in the doctor's arms.— London Standard.

It Does Make a Difference. In Munster recently a man received three years' fjennl servitude for attempting to poison his wife by administering to her sulphate of zino in whisky. At Leeds a woman was condemned to 20 years' penal servitude for attempting to'murder her husband by administering poison in his food. It is certainly diflioult to account for this vast difference in the punishment in two such similar cases, and a lady correspondent insinuates that to the woman were given 20 years because the judges, being men, naturally regard the crime as more heinous in a wife than in a husband. My own opinion, aftor reading the reports, is that tho woman got no more than she deserved, but tho man a good deal less.— London Truth.

Good Temper.

Good tempor is the mo6t contented, the most comfortable state of the soul the greatest happiness both for those who possess it and for those who feol its influence. With gentleness in his own character, comfort in his home and good temper in tiis wife, the earthly felicity of man is oomplcte.—Anon. & His Hindsight.
