reached the summit on Tuesday night.
The brakes Of each machine were furnished
with two levers. one on either side OF the
head and working independent OF the
other. so that in case one should break, the
rider ould be able TO control the inichlne

defer another trial TO the next day. IL
rained steadily during the afternoon and
night, but cleared away the next morning.
Al about 0 O'Clock they Jumped on their
wheels, and, encouraged by assurances from
the pcope who witnessed their start that
they would never reach the bottom alive.

Woman ANA Her sphere.

Rev. T. Nj. Griffith of Media, In a
recent sermon ON The Virgin Mary"
said, among other pointed remarks: IL
man Ia the crown of creation, woman
is the jewel that gives that crown its
value. Woman In more spiritual and
refined, Is nearer God, has a keener
moral sense. Women are vastly in the
minority in the penitentia and in
the majority In our churches. IL IL
time TO bring this great reserve army TO
the front. They have too long been
remanded 10 silence, subsection and
retirement. Let the tongu. that first
told the story of the resurrection now
tell the story of salvation, and the feet
that then were swift to run a. Christi
command now run TO the ends of the
earth with the Gospel message. Man
usurped power over woman simply
because he was the stronger, and, in the
barbaric ages, ruled by brute force
Might still makes right In the serag lios
OF the Sultan and the wigwam o. the
savage but the enlightened conscience
OF the nineteenth century places her by
the side of man.
In Cairo and Smyrna the scream of a
wife when beaten by her lord attracts
no attention. When he il angry she
| trem bles he eats first like a hungry
bear she eats the leavings he has the
power and she must submit. The con.
quering Christ came to crush the ser.
penis of injustice, oppression and
cruelty. Many of our laws, remnants
OF the common laws, of old England,
are disgrace to our statute books. A
wife yields her property 10 her husband
and then comes TO him like beggar for
nt,ie spending, money. In some
States she has not the control of her ow q
children. Her wages are pitiably low
and she is crowded out of the avenues I
employ ment and pushed back from the
gates of privilege In the churchep,
whose characters are modeled after
State laws, we have such relics Of the
dark ages as male members meetings,
from W hieh the voices and votes OF
women are excluded. But the leav.n
OF christian zed humanity is working
lis way. The day that dawned with
Mary shall end with that radian, pro.
duce OF the ages, a ly.dowered and
cuiln ed Christian woman. Justly treat.
