A Singular Statement.

Captain Ericsson, in writing on solar
heat, makes the very striking statement
that it cannot be questioned that if Lon
don had not been built, and if the build
ing materials of Paris yet remained in
the Catacombs, the sun would rise earlier
than it now does, though of course the
difference would be so small as to be ut
terly beyond the power of computation,
This assertion is based on the proposition
that the greater the distance to which
weight is removed from the axis of gyra-
ton, the greater is the tendency to re-
tard the earth's rotary velocity; and in
building these cities, the materials Of
which they consist have been removed
further from the earths axis than they
were intheir natural state. They tend
to decrease the velocity of the earth's
daily revolution, and thus cause the sun
to rise later. al4al d!

Slurs on Women.

nF all the evils prevalent among young
~ men, we know of none more blight
ing in its moral effects than to speak slig ght-
ingly of the virtue of women. Nor is
there anything in which young men are
so thoroughly mistaken as the low esti-
mate they form of the integrity of women
not of their own mothers and sisters.
but of others who they forget, are some
body else's mothers and sisters. As a
rule, no person who surrenders to this
debasing habit is to be trusted with any
enterprise requiring integrity of char
acter. Plain words should be spoken on
this point, for the evil is general one
and deep rooted. If young men are some
times thrown into the society of thought
less or lewd women, they have no more
right to measure all other women by what
they see of these, than they would have
to estimate the character of honest and
respectable citizens upon the develop
ments of crimes in our public courts.
Let our young men remember that their
chief happiness of life depends upon their
faith in woman. No worldly wisdom, no
misanthropic philosophy, no geueraliza-
tion, can cover or weaken this fundamen-
tai truth. 1t stands like the record of
God itself-for it is nothing less than
this-and should put an everlasting seal
upon lips that are wont to speak slight
ingly of woman.

A Tough Story.

An Ohio traveller is telling the follow
ing story at Day ton. Her name is Prairie
Ward She says she walked all the way
from San Francisco to Dayton that she
is forty-nine years of age; that her faith
er's name was Armstrong; and that he
was Wyandot halfbreed. Her mother,
she claims, was a daughter of Russell
Bigelow, Chaplain of the Ohio Peniten-
tiary In 1915, when living near Co
lumbus, Ky, she was stolen by Comanche
Indians, and carried to the recent Terri
tory of Nebraska, where, at the age of
thirteen, she was married to David Ward,
halfbreed, by whom she became the
mother of eleven children, Her hus-
band afterwards joined the army, and
stayed with the tribe. They murdered
her children, ate their flesh and danced
in their blood. She afterward escaped,
taking the long walk above mentioned,
and is in Ohio to find out her relations,
having an aunt living in Bellefontaine.

A Mothers Prayer.

Almighty God and Father, | come
before thee now to speak unto thee about
the children whom thou hast given to me.
They are very dear to me, and / earn
estly desire that they may walk in the
narrow way that leadeth to everlasting
life.
But feel my own ignorance and sin
fulness, and need thy grace and wisdom
to train them Alright. Thou, O God, hast
said, {" Ask and ye shall have;" I do ask
thee for the gift of thy Holy Spirit for
myself and children. Help me to set
them a good example in word and deed !;
create in each of them clean heart, and
renew in each a right spirit. Give to
each a tender conscience make them
obedient, respectful, gentle unselfsh.
Strengthen them to resist temptation, to
speak the truth, and to be diligent in
their work, ever remembering that thine
eye is upon them.
Grant, . Lord, to each one Of my dear
children a sure trust in the precious blood
of Jesus Christ as their only atonement; !;
and clothe them each in the blessed robe
of his righteousness.
Watch over them, good Lord, by day
and by night, in health and sickness /;
and after they have served thee on earth,
take them to dwell with thee forever in
heaven.
| beseech thee, o God, mercifully to
hear my prayer and grant me my hearts
desires for the sake of thy dear Son.
Jesus Christ my Saviour. Amen.
Our Father who art, etc.
