the currents Of human thought, could rely
chiefly, II not wholly. upon books. That day
has passed. Books we must still read. as

today 1t is the newspaper, the magazine, the
periodical review, upon which we must chiefly
depend II we would follow closely the in

new difficulty has arisen. This newspaper
and periodical literature has become SO null
titudinous and bulky as to be a heavy bur
den to the busy man or woman, while even
the person who has leisure aud inclination
TO read widely is often unable to get access
to the current publications. Especially In
the smaller cities, villages and rural dis
tricts is the lack Of such opportunity felt.
II is felt by the clergyman, the teacher,

Moves Fifty-Fiye Thousand Pounds.

George S. Spriggs, a mechanic for the
Baltimore G. Ohio railroad in Baltimore, his
friends think, is one of the strongest men in
the world. Unaided he moved for several
feet up a slight incline of track freight
car which, with its contents weighed $4,000
pounds. This is thought to be the worlds
record, as the heaviest car known to have
been previously moved by single-man power
weighed with its contents, $4,000 pounds.
This was in San Francisco several years ago,
Spriggs' first attempt was on a freight car
weighing with contents, $4,000 pounds. This
he moved eight feet, and 1t seemed easy.
Then he waited short time to gather his
strength and went for the huge car of the
record breaking weight. He strained and
tugged, finally starting it and moving 1t the
required eight feet
