very family this time. "Come, little
JAMIE, we must be going. How late it
grows; the sun is almost down."
He put out his hand so thin and vast
cd and with all the sunburn faded from
it now-and she slipped hers-small,
white and chill-into it as if for the
starting.
A long, long silerce followed, the
clock in an outer room ticked loudly, the
sunset rays crept long and level across the
uncarpeted floor; with bowed heads the
sturdy sons went out one by one, tread
ing on the toes of their clumsy boots; o
little knot of neighbors gathered around
the doorstep; the wife of many years
swayed back and forth in the chair
wherein she had once rocked her babies,
sobbing softly. And by way as old as
the world, yet strangely unfamiliar
Travelled by generations, but still an
unknown way-the two friends, one
whose years had covered SO long and the
other so brief span, had gone beyond
the sunset Chicago Times.

The japanese Jinrikisha.

One of the most popular features at the
Paris Exposition is the japanese Jinriki-
sha, which is q two-wheeled gig with
very little wheels and made very light,
that is drawn by japanese man. 1t is
generally supposed that the jinrikisha has
been in use for hundreds of years in
Japan, but this is not the case. Profes-
sor W. K. Burton, of Toxic University,
has been doing some several hundred
miles of riding by jinrikisha. In an az
ticle which he contributes to the British
Journal Of Photography, and the Photo
graphic Ne,cs, Professor Burton says that
this mode of travel is only about thirty
years old. Thirty years ago the Japan
ese had two ways of travelling. One was
BY bull carts and the other was by chairs
or baskets suspended between two poles
and carried on the shoulders of two men,
and this method is still in use where the
roads are very steep. The jinrikisha was
practically introduced by the first English
settlers, who brought out two-wheeled
carriages with them, and the jinrikisha is
simply copy of these on smaller scale.
Professor Burton says that on good roads
jinrikisha will keep up rate of seven
or eight miles an hour for several hours.
When the roads are bad it is customary
to have two men, one of whom pulls with
a cord in front. The charge for one man
is ten fen an hour, which is about eight
cents. If person wishes to keep his
carriage in Japan he can do so very
cheaply, the rate for a jinrfkisha and
man by the week being only about two
dollars. In the country the rate is gen.
orally charged according to the distance
and costs about cent mile. Professor
Burton, while on his recent travels, did
from forty to ninety miles day, accord
ing to the distance and condition Of the
roads, and he changed jinrikisha at the
end of every ten miles or so.

THE BIBLE.

If the Bible is not a.revelation from God,
then is there nothing in all the universe that
can fill the longing soul Of man.-Then must
that deathless spirit, on wing forever, per.
petually hover over an abyss Of unfathom-
able doubt. If truth is not found in this
book where then is she to be founds In de-.
isms.They tell us that natural religion is
sufficient for ell the wants Of our race But
wnere is her solace for that soul that longs
for something mere substantial than aught
during something that will shine forth in
pc, rless splendor when nature shall heare
her, last groan? Oh!where 20 yCu find all
this in de:sm! What eviienc have I from
natures book that shall be at last found
superior to the brute-that shall live
when this material stru ture shall have crum.
bled into dust2 None whatever. For, if be-
fore the period Of my CT .ation all was non
existence, how do ! know that after the ter.
minus Of my mortal race there will not again
be an eternal non existence? One thing am
taught frt m the religion Of nature-that
sGiod is love. From this ! conclude most
POI itivelY that he would not create our race,
with all our powers and capacities Of mind,
W thout gran ing us an additional manii es
taion Of his goodness telling us something
Of our destiny when time is no more. But in
the universe there is no such knowledge OBJ

clude, therefore, that this is the Book of
God-the best gift Of nerciful Father tc
man. Here t1ife and immortality are
brought to light" blessed be the Lord for
his great goodness and wonderful works to

The Indians of Alaska.

Tho Indian of Alaska is different
person, and the Indian problem in Alaska
is quite unlike that which presents itself
in the case of the aborigines known as
the North American Indians. Whether
they had the same origin is immaterial.
Environment has created marked dis
tinction. Laziness is wholly unknown to
both native men and women in Alaska.
They are noted for their desire to accu-
mulate, and there is one Indian Princess,
so-called. in the village here who is really
worth $40, 900 in silver, in furs, and in
blankets. They are all shrewd and cum
ming in their pecuniary dealings with
each other and with the whites. They
are notorious liars when it comes to pro-
tecting any one of their own race from
any apprehended harm, but they will
neither steal from each other nor from
the whites. About 1900 of these people
wintered at Sitka during 1888, and there
is permanent population of about 500
in the village this summer, and while no
white person yet thinks of locking
door, day or night, in the past eleven
months have not heard of single in
stance of larceny. Families of natives 60
off IN their canoes $50 miles to remain
and work all summer at the salmon can
nerics, leaving great deal of stuff be-
hind in their huts and houses, and when
they return in the fall, find everything as
safe as when they left them.
No tribal relations exist among them.
What are called chiefs are simply patri-
archs or heads of families, and hence,
the first important problem in the task of
civilizing them, by breaking up their
tribal relations, does not exist to vex the
authorities. Not only that, they are eager
to adopt the white mans ways, good as
well as bad. They have totally aban-
doncd their native dress, except on fes-
tive occasions, when they sometimes, not
often, appear in it. Mr.. Duncan, at
Metlakhatla, on Amelia Island, has es-
tablished saw-mill and a planning mill,
where he manufactures thousands of
packing cases which are sold to the sal
mon canneries. This is an industry that
is available for these people, and while
giving thousands of dollars every year,
under the plea of industrial training, as I
have already pointed out, the Govern
ment so far, has profted nothing from
the methods which have been success
fully pursued at Amelia Island.-NeU
York Times.

j RESULTS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING.

The Northwestern Christian Aduocats.
from the late brutal prize.fghts exhibition,
draws the following useful lesson concerning
the value Of non-alcoholc physical training:
1.-THE one thing that attracts us in this In
stance is the result Of Sullivan's training by
Professor Muldoon, who seems destined to
fame because Of his success in training the big
drunkard, whose profanity, arrelsomenass
and general debauchery are general dis.
grace to even that profigate. After being
seethed in whisky for years damaged BY ty-
phoid fever, and disabled by broken arm,
this Sullivan has submitted to severe train
ing, exercise, dieting and abstinence until he
is pronounced perfect specimen Of physical
manhood. If all this be true, it suggests the
possibilities respecting any man bodily
functions have been damaged by whatever
means. II the Muldoon can upGft such Q
man, what may not other trained TRAINERS
do for the sober, temperate man who needs
corresponding attentions and relative rebuild
ings We have no doubt that proper train
ing can add very large fraction to the HE
and efficiency Of many hundreds OF profss.
sional men, and thus add to the,arm total OF
the worlds brain-workers."

SculptOrs' Marble.

ssThe marble used by sculptors for the
better class of work is what is called Car
rara,. and costs in New York S14 pei
square foot. But this is SO beautifully
fine in its fibre that it will not stand ~
posurc in the open air, especially If neal
the sea. In private residence or hail it
is safe, and preserves its contour as well
as the harder and coarser grained stone,
which is quarried from the same place,
but which has blush tint and is veined.
and which costs only IS per square foot.
The difference in the working of the two is
great, the cheaper article is more brittle
and altogether unsuited to the minute and
delicate tracery which is so frequently
called for in drapcd figures. But for
pedcstals or greatly enlarged figures it is
perhaps more appropriate than the other.
I knew q sculptor in London who had
worked for two years on female statue,
which turned out to be a most speaking
likeness of the original. He was a fas-
tidiously careful and conscientious artist,
and after the work was finished and fully
approved by those for whom it was done,
he begged that it might be allowed to re-
main in his studio for few days longer,
for he said he wanted to retouch it. His
wish was complied with, and enc day,
thinking he had discovered slight in
accuracy in one of the outstretched fin.
gers, he commenced to repair the fault,
Coming across q flaw in the stone which
had hitherto remained hidden, the fated
finger fell at his feet, and two years labor
was lost. Such accidents are liable to
occur with any sculptor who gets hold Of
an inferior or unsuitable piece of marble.

CHRISTIAN JOY.

The Rev: Professor Elmslie, speaking re-
Gently on E. stian joy, said we needed to
rid religion uf all dullness and Of all repul-
sive coldnes. and sternness. The perfection
of all Christian rejoicing and living is just
il we could but do it as Christ wanted ito
live truly and altogether in the world, but
not Of the world. He was not quite sure
whether it was not the first symptom Of the
Church's corruption when they put the cru
cifix upon the altar. The young, brave
hearted, rejoicing and conquering Church
did not do it. Is that the last word Of the
gospel Christ d, ,ed?' mol. That crucified
Christ would mean the worlds des ,air il
that were his final form. What makes our
triumph, our hope, our faith, our life, our
rejoicing in the certainty Of victory, is that
cruciied Christ risen, ascenied, reigning;
and that is the Christ they would find paint
ed in the chancel Of all the early Christian
'urches. The crucified, dead Christ came
in later. But that risen, reigning Christ on
the throne is 'tas Lamb that had been
slain" The marks Of his death, his atone
ment, are there. It is the crucifi. d, but the
cruci6ed, triumphant Christ.

RELIGIOUS READING,
A THOUGHT FROM THE FATHERS.

A THOUGHT FROM THE FATHERS.
See how yon little lark is borne
With music up to heaven.
To bask in sunlight ere the morn
To wales beneath is given. a.
That bird salvation's sign hath made
By stretching forth its wings;
The cross upon his back ls laid, e.
And 10! he scars and sings.
Take off the fardel th It he bears,
He Ialleth in his fight:
The cross is in the wings he wears;
He eproves the burden light.
So Christ hath laid His cross on me;
1t wings me to the sky, -
And day by day, though sore it be,
By that dear cross Live !.
It beareth those by whom tits borne
And by its weight we rise;
Who casts it down, he sinks forlorn;
Who takes it up, he flies
Easy the yoke and light the load,
Indeed, my spirit sings;
To him that pants for Gods abode
BIS cross shall prove his wings.

WAIT AND SEE.

I never let BARNS or fools SEQ my pic,

artist to me once, quoting familiar prov

''hairns' in Gods sight and we sadly play
the foo' in regard to his Trovidential deal

ment pronounced on painting or statue until
the work is completed, so our heavenly
Teacher bids us possess or souls in pa fence.
"What do, thou knowest not now, but thou

until the picture is completed. Some OF the

money. Men Of God, who count not their
lives dear unto them. Men like Frederick
Stanley Arnott, young Seotchman who
weht to Africa, anil starting rom The south,
marched right up through the heart Of that
continent Men like the immortal David
Ii, livingstone who died praying for Africa.
They buried him with many fearful eulogies
in We minister Abbey, but If he could leap
into life again he would say: "Follow where
my heart lies out yonder In Africa. Obey
your Lords command: Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every crea-
