rabbi till 1878, when he went to Louis
vile, Ky, and became the rabbi of the
AdaS-Isracl congregation in that city.
During these first years of his pulpit
work, says Frank Leslie's Weekly, DIR.
Hirsch became conspicuous as n rad
zeal reformer, in which course he but
followed n line laid out by his illustrious
father. who drew upon himself the CEN
sure of many of his coreligionists for
uniting Jews and Christians in mar
riage. In 1850 Sinai congregation, Chi
cago, secured young DR.. Hirsch as it's
officiating rabbi, which position he still
holds. Under his administration the
religious service has undergone great
sweeping changes; all that smacks of
the ancient and ceremonial has been
done away with, and the climax was
reached six years ago, when it was de-
termined that the Sabbath services
should be held on Sunday instead of
Saturday. This custom still prevails in
the Sinai temple, DIR. IIirsch holding
that the "Sunday-Sabbath movement is
the only salvation for judaism as
spiritual religion"
DR.. Hirsch is professor of Semitic Ian
guages and literature in the University
of Chicago; was u lecturer at the Ply
mouth summer school for applied
ethics to the summer of 1892; he is pres
ident of the board OF directors of the
public library of the city of Chicago; an
editorial contributor to several German
periodicals., and editor of the Chicago
Reform Advocate. Among DR.. Hirsch's
published works, the most important
are, THE Age of Toll" a contribution
to Biblical criticism, and 1.-The Cruel
fixion from Jewish Standpoint" Dr.
Hirsch's wife is the daughter of the late
David Ainhorn, II distinguished theolo-
gian, who for manv years was foremost
in the fight for reform in Judaism.

1t was the imperial guard. Before the
shock of that mighty wave the Rus
sian center crumbled away, shattered
wrecks.
When Yallovitch came to his senses
and opened his eyes, he heard the
trampling of hoofs, which called his at
tention to group of gayly dressed Off
GERS, and Napolcon's staff came riding
over the field. The young Russian
peercd anxiously into their faces, and
thus describes what he saw:
There were the hard faces of Rapp
and Darn and broad-chestcd Sebastian
and Nansouth, with the saber scar
across his check, and the low, broad
forehead and bulldog jaw of grim old
Ncy, the bravest of them all. There,
too, was Murat, with his white plumes
and his braided jacket, his riding whip
in his hand, just like circus rider.
And then the group parted sudden
ly, and there was the man himself in
the midst of them, with his face hard
and immovable as marble amid all that
blood and agony, and a PARKWAY look
IN those cold gray eyes of his. as if he
saw Moscow somewhere up in the sky,
but could see nothing between.
"a glorious victoryr cried Murat,
waving his hand What a stir thcrc'll
be among the good folks in Paris when

first work in this field was in conncc-

Maj. Gen. Yal1ovitch. of the Russian
army, is one. of the few men now
living who saw the great Napoleon
on battle field. The old soldier
saw the French emperor Mt Boro-
dino. At that battle, Yakovitch,
then mere boy, served with a battery
in the grand redoubt, which was the
center of the Russian line. lie gives a
graphic description of the battle.
When morning broke sea of gray
mist shut out the field from view. The
voices of the enemy were heard, the
ncighing of their horses. and the rum
bling of artillery wheels. Then came
the thunder of cannon, making the
very earth trcmble. Three times all
the Russian gunners were killed, and
three times new men took their places
Bullets flew thick as hail, and men
dropped dead or wounded every mo-

At last strange sound was heard in
the distance, like rain pattcring on

mounted in broadsides with special
inter bulllheads back of them; twenty
6-pounders and rapidfring guns; eight
1-pounders and Calling guns and tor
pedo tubes. The armament has some
strong points possessed by none of the
battleshipS or cruisers now a1oat. One
is the height Of the guns from the water
line, which will enable them to success
fully attack the unarmored ends of for
eign warships The 13-inch guns are
18 feet above water line and the S-inch
guns are IS feet above the water line.
Another feature is that the armament
of either the Indiana or Massachusetts
will throw a greater weight of metal
than any vessel afloat. Either will be
able to throw G,4o0 pounds at one dis
charge of her main battery alone, which
is 1000 pounds more than any other
warship, foreign or native, is capable of
military mast, with two fighting tops
and lookout, and means will be pro-
vided for going up inside the mast.
The Indiana is one of three sister
ships, including the Massachusetts and
the Oregon, authorized by act of con-
gross of June 80, 1890. The general dc.
lOI buC lllfcc blccl SHIPS were
ready on the day the act authorizing
them was approved. Three months
later the bids for constructing them
were opened. The Union iron works
of San Francisco offered to build one
flor s3,24O,0 900, or two for $4,000, 900; the
Risdon iron and locomotive works, also
OF San Francisco, one for IS, o75 900; the
bath iron works, one for IS, l4o 900; the
Cramp & Sons company, of Philatlel-
phia, one for s2,o9O,OO0, and the other
two for S5,7S0,000. The latter company
also bid SO, 100, 900 for a ship twelve feet
longer than in the departments plans,
which were followed exactly by all the
preceding bids, and 5000, 900 for the
other two. This last bid being lower
than that of any other, was accepted
dor the Indiana and Massachusetts,
The law required that one of the YES
sells should be built on or near the Pa
cifc coast. if it could be done at fair
cost The Union iron works, in view of
the bid of the Cramps. agreed TO build
the Oregon, also adding twelve feet, for
23,1S0.000, and this was accepted as
reasonable on calculating the cost of
carrying to San Francisco material only
obtainable in the east The Indiana's
keel was laid in 1891.

The Indiana is tho eighth warship
that the Cramps have launched and is
the largest ever sent from their ways.
up to this time the New York, with n
tonnage of 5000, was the largest. The
Indiana is the first of the first-class bat
tleships to be launched, and her sister
ship, the Massachusetts, which is from
six weeks to two months behind the In
diana in construction, will be the uext
The Indiana is S4S feet long on the
water line and is SO feet inches beam.
Her displacement is 1O,4OO tons, but
with n full supply of coal and stores on
board she will draw 24 feet and dis
place 11,600 tons of water. She will be
propelled by twin screws and her en-
gines will be three in number, having
0,00o-horsc power. They will be of
the triple-eNpansion type and will be
built abreast in water-tight compart-
ments, and will give n speed of from
1915 to 16 knots, the guaranteed speed
being Is knots. The armor will be as
nearly impervious to shot as it can
be made. The watcr-line armor belt
will be of 1S-inch nickel steel and will
extend 100 feet along each side amid
ships At the ends of the armor belt is
an armored bullzhead athwartships
which is to be ii inches thick, and

A Canine rootbnII chnmnIon.

At tthe conclusion of the game between the Harborne and Handsworth football teams at Harborne, on Saturday, Mir H. B. Lowe allowed his dog, which is beautiful black and tan Australian ter rier. 10 play the victorious team for about a quarter of an hour. As soon as the dog was brought on to the field he seemed anxious to get at the ball, and when all was ready and he was let loose among the team, in few seconds he got the ball, which was covered by net, firmly between his teeth. He lodged the players with great agility, and when surrounded held the ball tightly between his fore feet, and try as the players would to obtain possession their efforts were in vain.
 Then seeing an opportunity, he would dash off toward the goal stuulps with his two legged opponents in hot pursuit. Passing, dribbling, and long kicking did not prevent him getting the ball, and once the net was between his teeth it was futile to try by kicking or pulling to release the ball. After about quar- ter of an hours play" which caused the spectators much amusement, the net on the ball was torn and sport was aban- doned, neither side having scored. - Birmingham Gazette.

rlnrrInr inc Tired RrnIn.

A singular discovery has been made by Dr. Lauder Brunton, By an accident he found out the secret of how to have ideas at will. One night, after long days work. he was called upon to write an article He sat down with pen, ink and paper, and, as has very often hap pened before under similar conditions, not a single idea came into his head. He then began to reason and to attempt to find why the braiu, which ~was appar- ently the same as it was the dey before, when 1t worked normally, should refuse to respond to the dicia'es of the will. He arrived at the conclusion that the day before be was not Sired, and that there. fore the circulation was bIisker.
 Continuing his cogita,ions he traced the connection between cerebral circu- lation and mental activity, and conclud- eti that if the blood would not come to rho brain the next Lest thing would be to bring the brain down to the blood. And this he did The happy thought of laying his head fiat on the table sudden ly flashed across the seat of the late in- activity, and at once his ideas began to flow and his pen ran swiftly across the paper. The work progressed SD well that Dr. Brun;on thought he might as well sit up. But it would not do. The moment Le raised bis head his miuI re- verted to blankEess, go he had to put down his head again upon the table, and finished tie article in that position Exchange.
