In fact, in every land : where civilization is at its height the | two-wheeled. system of seif-propelled locomotion is considered an established ! Institution, says the St. Louis Repub i lic. In America alone more than.l,ooo,- 000 men, women and children are own l ers of their wheels, while another half million of the population well under stand the art of riding the delusive “bike.”” During the year 1894 upwards of 300,000 bicycles were made and sold in this country, and the estimate for 1895, made by conservative men, is 600,000. Is it any wonder that the liv eryman sees only a dark future for his business, and that the industry of horse-racing is anxious? In Europe the bicycle craze is even more virulent than it is in America. In London and Paris tiisfiss of infat uated wheelers plusij about the streets from dasl Rd. 3 o’clock in the morm _ itdin has 1,300,000 cyclis§ s £75,000,000 investedsl ; ;}. of bicycles and tricycli e factor- . les in which such mach¥Pre’ factured give daily employmigng to 42, 000 men. . The census returns of France enumer ate 161,271 cycles which are used solely for pleasure. Those used by tradesmen in any of their business transactions are not taxed. On that account the above figures fail to convey anything like an accurate idea of the number of wheels owned in that country. In Belgium, Holland, Germany, Aus tria and Italy the bicycle ig fast super seding all other means of locomotion, especially where pleasure and health are the objects sought. In short, the bicycle has, within a very few years, become a very necessary adjunct to [ modern civilization. S I Why She Wanted a Continuance. An old lawyer once told about a case he had, but which he didn’'t keep. An old Irishwoman sent for him in great haste one day. BShe wanted him to. meet her in the criminal court. He hastened to the ccurt house all out of breath. The woman’s son was about to be placed on trial for burglary. When the lawyer entered the court room the old woman rushed up to him and in an excited voice said: “Mr. B—, Oi want ye to git a con tinyance for me b’y Jimmie.” “Very well, madam,” replied the law yer. “I will do so if I can, but it will be necessary to present to the court some grounds for a continuance. What shall I say?” “Shure, ye can jist tell the court Oi want a continyance till Oi can get a better lawyer to try the case.” The lawyer nearly fainted when he heard this, and after telling the woman that she would have to get another law yer to get the continuance he hurried back to his office a very angry man. A Giant’s Trouble. He was a giant in gize, the picture of hea'th and strength, with iron muscles, a famous athlete.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is DX constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam mation can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

We are living in ihe 2losing decade of the greatest eentury of vur ¢rs. Faith and un taith have eontend=d i wae arena for the pre cedence. Faith has an immense backing in her great past, That past forms a presump tion in her favor. The system which can live through the changes and storms of eighteen centuries must be presumed to have in it the seeds of immortality. What is more remark able than this is the continuous growth of the cause through so many ages. In our own cen tury the increase has been more than in seve ral earlier ones. It is the missionary century. I The doors of the nations have opened. The area of Christendom has vastly expanded. The Dark Continent and the isles of the seas are extending their hands to the Lord Jesus, All has not been accomplished, but a noble beginning has been made toward the world's evangelization. In these great years unbelief has taken upon itself to pre claim a pessimistic Gospel and the decay and failure of Christianity. These men have often called themselves scientists and philosophers. Their misconception of the Gospel discredits their assumptions of wis dom. Not to know the advanceof the Gospel is to assert their own blindness and narrow understanding. The age of miracles in a new form has been renewed. In its material interests and moral enterprises the world has made greater advances in ours than in the ;ffihteen preceeding centuries, and all this -Bas beén the creation of Christian thought “and enterprise. Christianity is the leverage “Whieh is lifting the world to a higher plane. Mho ever speaks a word against such a "?'"_w is speaking against truth and reason. 4 ‘ janity speaks for itsel’, and furnishes M 8 own best evidence. The Gospel has “#iver failed to rebuke those who have risen against it. THINEKE CALMLY AND CLEARLY 1t is easy to think of our neighbor dying, but the vital instinet within us steadily re pels the prospect from ourselves; and it is often necessary to summon reason to our rescue, and to think calmly and clearly about it, if we would actually face the thougzht that the wings of the Ange! of Death are hover ing over our bed, even ours. The young are sometimes impatient to die; the old are often content to die; but men in the prime of life mostly wish to live. And even the Christian may desire to live, without in any wise dis honoring the Master, who says, when He sends for Him. *Oome¢ up hither.” It is not that he doubts that heaven once gained would be a sufficient recompense, that Christ once seen and adored would be worth more to his soul than w:fe and children and friends, But as we grow older our sense of the preciousness of life grows. There are plans we wish to ac complish, or books we wish to write, or friends we wish to influence, or children we wish to rear. To many of us health is capi tal. To all of us life is a talent never to be regained. It istrue that, if we are to go, willingness to go is mercifully given to us; it alsc true that, when we are spared, our love of life,as well as our love of God,fills us with thankful joy. ‘There will be blessed service in heaven, but there will be no more going out after lost sheep in the wilderness, so far as we know ; the brightness of the crown will be won, and our wurk here over, when our feet have once been pianted within the para- | dise of God.—Bishop Thorold, in “‘On Being 1 " TOO MUCH RELIGION ? The Rev. Sydney Smith, in his eelebrated article on Methodism, in the Edinburgh Re view 3ays, among other things: *‘Ths Methodlists are always more des'rous of mak ing men more religious than itis possibie, from the constitution of human nature, to make them.” Even should we grant that this charge were true,we could notregard it as be ing a very grave evil. The desire for making men superlatively religious, or even extra superlatively, must certainly be a virtue. If people in general Fad this desire, the world would without doubt be a better place to live in. We fear that, in these days at least, the charge is not sufficiently true. Would that there were a more eager desire on the part of Methodists to press men ou to the extreme limits of religiousness! What those limits are we think it would be hard to define. We huve an idea that there has never been any one of mortal men who hastouchedthetopmost round of econceivable attainment, never anyone, ex cept Jesus, so good but that he might have been a little better. Sidney Smith had an apprehension that people would be driven insane by too much piety. As we look at the matter, the danger is altcgether on the other side. At lesst nine times out of ten it 18 too little religion rather than too much that renders people crazy. Our ecivilization can safely stand a very much larger infusion of Methodism than it has at present, and Methodism can safely stand a very much larger infusion of burning enthus.asm. REDEEMER’S LOVE. Water may cleanse your fine linen from stain, but it has never the saume whiteness as ~ before it was soiled. The injured pieture ~ may be repaired, and show the artist’s skill in its renewal, but it is not the same picture as before. The vase may be broken and cleverly mended, but it is a cracked vase to the end of time. And although through the love and power, of God, a life of sin cleansed and renewec is used by Him for great and noble work--calling out praise at his grace which can thus put together shattered brok<n lives, abie to hold heavenly treasure, yet it can neverbe to all eternity the same for us— for any one—as if we had not sinned. The cleansed, forgiven, full grown soul is a proof in spite of sin, of the Redeemer’s love, and power, and grace: put the virgin soul has a beauty all its own beyond the beauty of any other, however restored,and such souls alone | are privileged to *‘follow the Lamb where- 1 soever he goeth.”—Rev. J. Rooker. RFEACH INTO OTHER LIVES. Every one’s real life consists in his reach into other lives. Whoever is completely iso lated is like an uprooted plant, dying or dead. Whoever shares in the experiences of others helps them to betrze and to make the best of what they have, strengthens their faith in God and love to men, lives and grows. Bear ing one another’s burdens is the law of Christ,. He touched those who needed him. He taught theignorant. He fed, healed, cheered, loved and inspired those with whom he lived. His law wrote itself into the lives of his dis ciples. See it in their words: **Look not every man on his own things, but every man on the things of others.” See it in their deeds. Silver and gold they had none, but such as they had they gave. Wealth abounded where they went because they gave. them selves. They were rewarded with a hundred fold morein this present life. 'To such men life is rich and they are always in demand. SUNLIGHT AT LAST. Do not believe that God offers himself as a guide in his providence and a guide toward a holy life by his spirit, and yet will leave the mind alone which soberly explores the dark places of truth in the hope of his aid. How ne can aid it is useless to ask: but that he can aid, who is truth itself, and has sure ac ce:s to minds and hearts you must not douht. He may move In all silence, he may act on the soul and so on the mind indirectly, he may cause—as often happens—external things to illustrate truth in some remarkable manner. But be assured of this, that if, in obedience and hope you wait on him, he will bring you to sunlight at last. And then the sest, the peaces of having passed through and left behind you the wilderness of doubt will Ce a life-long enjoyment.—T. D. Woolsey. We should find great peace if we would Imbue ourselves with this thought—that we are here solely to accomplish the will of God, that that will is accomplished from day to day, and that he who dies leaving his work unfinished is just as far advanced in the eyes of Supreme Justice as he who has leisure to accomplish it fully. —Qzarvam.

I{OXQW! Powder The Apple as a Timber Tree. In ‘some sections of this country the apple tree ‘is Jooked on for its product as a piece of timber, as well as a fruit producing article. For this reason the old German fruit growers in the vicin ity of Philadelphia, always aimed to get a mice straight trunk to an apple tree and train it up comparatively high before allowing it to form a head. Mod erns have supposed that the chief ob ject to be gained by this method ot training was in order to facilitate plowing operations, but the ultimate end in having a good trunk for timber purposes was not forgotten. In this particular region, the wood was used chiefly for shoemakers’ lasts—a busi ness which, in the earlier history of Philadelphia, did much to help the trade of that famous manufacturing center of population. The apple re gions have mostly disappeared from that vicinity; but other sections of the country seem to understand the value of apple tree wood. It is stated in the Country Gentleman that a fruit grower of Cayuga sold to a well-known firm of sawmakers of Philadelphia—Disston & Sons—the trunks of some of their trees, which were cut away because the trees had grown too closely to-l gether, to the value of $5OO. In this ; case, the wood was of course used for the handle of saws.—Meehan’s. i Slept Twenty Years in a Cofiin. It is seldom that a man dies in a coffin, but that is exactly what old Bar ney Frickers, of Alliance, Ohio, did when he finally gave up the ghost in the fall of 1890. For more than twenty years “Old Barney” had been haunted with the idea that he was on the verge of the grave. Every evening he de clared that he would never again see the sun rise. He constantly brooded over his queer hallucination. and never allowed himself to go to sleep without being carefully prepared for death and burial. Every night he robed himself in his grave clothes and solemnly laid down in his coffin and passed the night firmly believing and probably hoping that for him the day would never dawn again.
