women as a rule have feet small

their feet into shoes a size

of shoes, that "a tight fits not a good

The public will watch with interest
the project for an electric railroad
between Chicago and st. Louis
a distance of $50 miles. The road is
now being constructed and it is be-
lieved it will be completed before the
coming summer is over. The plans
of the enterprise include several
power houses between the tive cities.
Its projectors are confidently count
ing on achieving q speed of more
than a mile a minute for express
trains. That their expectations will
be realized seems increditable, but
when it is remembered that electric
railways are still in their tentative
stage, it is idle to attempt to fix de-
finite bounds to their development.
Electric experts do not hesitate to
predict that within a decade electric
power will superscde steam power on
all the riore important lines in the

The Christian is always in danger Of
losing sight OF the Importance of his ex-
ample A large class Of mourners are
ever mourning their inability to do any
thing for Christ. They imagine that
their peculiar circumstances render it
impossible for them to perform any work
Of Importance or value in His service
Let such remember that there is one
thing Of incalculable value that they may
do. A godly life, consistent Christian
example, is likely to be far more infuen-
tial with the careless than fluent and el-
oquent words without it. If they can do
no more, they can show the world the
power Of divine grace to purify the heart
and to control the life. They can confer
upon those by whom they are surround
ed the inestimable boon of an example
Of holy living-National Presbyterian.
