"The daily life at Dwight is peculiar.
In all ages and under all conditions 1t Is
generally accepted as fact that the
best fe lows, the most genial, the brain

OF course this Is conditional, but IL is
fact that nowhere OH earth can be found

such as Is at Dwight Each fellow
knows what every other fellow is there
for, and there is more of the real char ty
to be picked up during stay at Dwight
than at any other pace on earth. One
can get closer to inen there than any
where else, and there are broader views,
more sympathy and more display OF trul
feeling than among any other body OF
men on earth. Brotherly love governs
every action. Sympathy prevails in ev-

shooters attempted to pick off the
saucy wheelmen. But an adverse
current prevented the punishment Of
the enemy as he deserved.
ain the afternoon the chief Of staff
was very busy with the long-distance
telephone and communicated with
the commanders Of seven army corps,
which are now on their march to this
neighborhood, where an important
battle must soon be fought. In less
than five minutes radius of terri
tory many hundreds of miles square
was completely covered with these
telephone messages, and half an hour
after the general order was given the
chief of staff knew that the head of
each column was on the march, and
had an important conversation with
each general commanding corps.
During the evening the body of
one of the enemys riflemen, together
with his bicycle, was brought into the
village. On his person was found a
paper containing reference to a
quadricyclar scouting expedition
which was to take place on branch
line OF rail not far from our village
next morning. These quadricycles,
adapted to the railroad, are now In
general use in both armies. They
look not unlike the old-fashioned
hand-car, denuded of its framework
of wood, and are managed by two
stout soldiers, seated side by side.
The soldiers have carbines slung over
their shoulders, and carry pistols in
holsters.
1.-The hind wheels OF these railway
quadricycles are made much larger
than the forward wheels, and the
treadles are SO arranged as to give
immense speed. Great services have
been performed on both sides by these
scouts, skimming swiftly as swallows

The Seven bible.

The seven bibles of the world are
the Koran Of Mahometans, the Tri
Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five
Kings Of the Chinese, the Three Vedas
of the Hindoos, the Zend Avesta, and
the Scriptures OF the Christians. The
Koran is the most recent of the five,
dating from about the seventh CEN
fury after Christ. 1t is composed OF
quotations from both the Old and
New Testaments and from the Tai
mud. The Tri Pitikes contain sub
lime morals and pure aspirations.
Their author lived and died in the
sixth century before Christ. The
sacred writings of the Chinese are
called the Five Kings, the word
"kings" meaning web Of cloth. From
this it is presumed that they were
written on five rolls of cloth. Yhey
contain wise sayings from the sages
on the duties of life, but they cannot
be traced further back than the
eleventh century before our era. The
Vedas are the most ancient books in
the language of the Hindoos, but they
