CYCLING IN SANTA FE.


Bicycle riding is becoming the fad in
Santa Fe as we'll as in other cities, and there
are now thirty-fve wheels in town and
number on the way. Of the better grade
wheels there are seventeen Columbus, three
Victors, one Ariel, one New Mail and one
Bloomington used here, the rest of the
total number being of the cheaper grade.
Santa Fe leads the territory in the num-
Der of L. A. W. members at present and
will soon havethe only bicycle club in the
territory. The new club will be organized
in short time and will be solely to
promote the interests and sociability of
cycling. Members propose holding semi
weekly runs, and moonlight runs when
ever opportunity affords. Tomorrow
number of riders will take a spin to
Cienega and return via the Cerrillos road.
If the weather permits Messrs. Francis
and Wallace Baker will wheel to Albu
querque via Cerrillos and San Pedro and
will try to establish a road record for
future trips over the same course. The
ladies', too, are becoming interested in
wheeling and right they are, as usual.

Sermons Wear Out.

1T is very long time since l preach

the bishop Of London, according to the
Times OF that city, "but when | did
preach written sermons, which ! did for
considerable number of years, l always
used 10 find that if 1 had preached the
same sermon in different places, say, five
times, had had enough Of it-whether
other people had had enough Of it or
not, | became thoroughly tired Of the
whole thing, and was Obliged TO turn my
mind TO something altogether different,
and have always advised preachers, al
ter having preached discourse a CT
tain number of times, without laying
down how long they might have been IN
doing il, to burn such sermons. | am
convinced myself that he best way al
ways is TO write your sermon three times
over and then to burn it and preach
what you remember OF it. But even that
Will not do when you give up writing
sermons, and wien you come TO speak
ing, not without previous preparation,
but without any previous writing of it.
Ii will not do simply to burn what hottest
yen have written, because then the
words stay in your mind, and ifyou
have to speak out, they come whether
you want them or not. They are ready
and the occasion seems to present itself,
and the words seem as if they had sort
of independent action of their own, and
they say: Here's my place. and out
come.

The 8Iahdi.

The mahdi's outward appearance was
strangely fascinating; he was man OF
strong constitution, very dark complex

accustomed himself. Under this smile
cleaned a set Of singularly white teeth,
and between the two upper middle ones
was Y shaped space. which IN the Sou
dan is considered a sign that the owner
will be lucky The mahdi was well
versed in the art of winning over people.
His unruffied smile. pleasant manners,
generosity and equable temperament,
though az times somewhat severe, all
tended to enhance the popular idea Of
him. He attributed the execution of

Abdullah, and when the two little so-s
of the latter were brought TO him the

fate
The popular belief in him and his
cause almost amounted to worship.
Women especially raved about him and
thought him the most handsome of men.
His virtues were extolled in poems, and
constant reference was made TO his good
looks, wisdom, stature and to his re-
peated victories over the Turks. The
beggars used to learn off by heart special
laudatory verses, and by reciting them
from house to house they were sure to
be given alms.-"Ten Years Captivity
