CARE OF THE WHEEL.
The Expert Cyclists Use Judgment in
Riding.

From Harper's Weekly.
Cyclists do not always seem to realize
how much the durability of a bicycle de-
ponds upor the care which 1t receives. By
this 1 mean not only keeping 1t cleanwhich
Is necessary tor appearance sake, anyway,
but the using of some judgment as to the
way in which 1t is ridden. Just as on
horseback, a heavy woman, If she rides
well, will not tire her mount so quickly as
a lighter inexperienced one, so an expert
cyclist brings far less strain upon the ma
chine than a careless rider, whose weight
may not be nearly SO great. If you have
rough piece of read to traverse, car tracks
to cross, or come to any place where the
riding is at all bad. do not rest your dead
weight in the saddle, but rise little and
ease your machine, bearing harder than
usual upon the pedals. Careful riding does
not imply slow pace. Those who make
very fast time are often the most prudent
and Watchful cyclists. The outlook for OBJ
stacles becomes habitual, almost automat-
ic after a while. and saves much hard
wear and many break down.
1t is a rare thing to find woman who
understands how to use the implements
which she finds in her bicycle tool bag. She
is often very punctilious about carrying 1t
with her on her rides, but II anything
breaks down it might as well be at home
for all she would be able to accomplish
with it. Her idea is that there will proba-
bly, be some kind person around who I'M
derstands such things to whom she can ap-
peal for help But this is not always the
case, and she might find herself in situa
ton where little knowledge of her own
would be very valuable. If she has no one
in the family who can explain to her the
uses of the several tools, the information
could easily be obtained at any bicycle
store.

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-04-06

JOHN G. WHITTIER is reported to have
said in prose what he many times de-
MED in verse, II believe in the possl-
bility OF the perpetual loss of soul that
persistently turns away from God, in
the next life as in this This does not
strike one as an inspiring belief. He
must believe that a soul will persist
emily turn away from God in the next
life. On what ground can man believe
that? Not certainly on the ground that
the soul can turn away. That would
imply belief in total depravity. Not
either on the ground that soul turns
away from God in this life. That would
preclude hope for the salvation of any
soul not now saved. And it is on this
belief in the persistent turning away
that he must hang his belief in the pos
sibility of the perpetual loss.' OF course
soul that pesistently turns away from
God is-not will be-lost. But that
phrase "persistently turns" carries vast
weight of assumption. 1t is an un-
known contingency. 1t is not prob
able contingency. Why should anyone
believe in it?
DIR. Lyman Abbott, in sermon in
the Outlook. says: II am not Univers
aIist, because / believe that God has
made men free; because / believe that
virtue is possible only with freedom;
because man has the awful power to
take life or reject it as he will, and out
from God and away from God there is
no life." We detect note Of regret in
DIR. Abbott's confession of his inability
to be Universalist. He would like to
be able to be Universalist we feel sure,
and he turns away from 80 much happi-
ness with pang. We hasten to assure
him, therefore, that he is not excluded
for any of the reasons alleged. The "be-
cause" mentioned by him is perfect
example of the insufficient reason. We
hold. as firmly as he can. to every one of
his propositions; yet we are Universalists.
We may even say that we are Universal
lists because we hold to these proposi
tions. We trust the good Doctor will
not do himself the violence to shut this
inviting door in his own face.
We note with satisfaction that the
clergy OF the New York diocese have
taken sn early occasion to record them
selves against the proposal to open the
saloons on Sunday. The capture of DIR
Rainstord and DIR. Rylsnce by the sa
loon faction made it the more impera-

path parallel to the orbit of Jupiter.
The effect of the enormous attraction
on the comet of the giant planet must
be carefully calculated before the
orbit previous to 1856 can be known.
AS far as the problem has been in
vestigated, the effect of the perturba-
tions, of 1856 would be to reconcile
the differences between the orbits of
the two comets. This question pre-
sents many points of resemblance to
the problem of the possible identity
of Lexell's lost comet with the Brooks
comet of 1889. The latter is sexpected
to return in 1896, and all the observa-
tories will be on the watch for it long
before it's predicted return.

AMERICAN citizenship does not appear
to be worth much on German soil if the
story told by Richard Wachsmuth,o of Mil
waukee. one of the members of the life
saving crew. is true. Wachsmuth was
member of the crew in 1890. When the
crew was laid off in the fall Wachsmuth
decided he would pay visit to his par
ents who live on the Island of Silt in the
North Sea. Although he had his citi-
zenship papers he was ordered to report
for duty in the German navy and served
three years on the war ship Alexandria.

by the 10th of February, and in the
course of about month, it is hoped
to be able to place copy in the
hands of every soldier and sailor in
Japan, and considerable part of
those in China. Hitherto the work of
the Bible societies, and of all Mis-
sionaries, has been looked upon as an
intrusion, without official sanction
and merely tolerated. Now it is
placed upon different basis, which,
in country like this, marks a new
beginning in Christian work. From
this time on hundreds and thousands
of the young men of Japan will no
longer be restrained from the study
of Gods Word by military or other
restrictions, and permission will be to
them the evidence that the religion
of Jesus Christ is approved by the
highest authorities in the Empire"
'sSome have surmised that the Gov
ernment anticipates announcing that
Christianity is henceforth to be the
State religion, but such a step is
hardly to be expected at this stage of
the nations history. All that Chris
tian workers should ask and all that
most of them desire, is to be given
full liberty to preach Christ to all
classes as the only Guide and Saviour
and then leave the seed of divine
truth to spring up and develop it's
fruit in sanctified hearts and lives"
Rev. Henry Loomis, of the Bible
Societies committee, writes: "Last
Sunday | was not only permitted to
distribute Scriptures among the
soldiers of the Imperial Guard, but
invited to the Palace and thanked in
person by Prince Komatsu, the Com
mander-in chief. know no more
important event in the history of
modern missions in Japan" Prince
Komatsu is cousin of the Emperor,
and has recently been made Comman-
der-in- Chief of the Army and his ac-
ton is practically the action of the
Emperor"
The Imperial Guard numbers Is, 900
men; they are picked men from all
parts of the Empire and aim to be
models to japan.
We are sure all our Universalist
friends will rejoice in this great and
significant change which promises SO
auspiciously for all Christian work.
We have been a Bible people from
the beginning; and all Christian pro-
gress must have its basis in the Chris
tian Scriptures in the heads and
hearts ofthe people. 1t does not seem
unsafe to predict as one of the results
of this war, that Christianity and
civilization will go forward hand in
hand through all the Orient as never
before. What great opportunities
open up for Christian Societies of
every name to have hand in work
ing this great transformation God
grant that the evil things which have
fastened themselves upon our West
ern civilization in spite of Christian
ity may not succeed in blighting the
East, and may they speedily be over
come in our own loved Westland, SO
that truth, hope, justice and love, the
kingdom of God, may reign around
the whole earth.

VANISHED III THE NIGHT
Singular Disappearance of Mrs.
John Marshall, of Alexandria.
NO TRACE OF HER ANYWHERE
She Left Her Bed Shortly Before Mid
night and Went Ont, First Having
Hidden Her Husbands Clothes.
Though He Followed Her Quickly,
He Failed TO Find Her.

Mrs Annie Marshall, wife OF Mr.. john
Marshall, track foreman of the Washing
ton and Southern Railway, disappeared
from her home, at the northwest corner of
Fayette and Queen streets, on Friday
night last under singular circumstances,
and as it is known that her mind has been
failing for some time considerable alarm
is felt for her safety by her family and
friends.
Mrs. Marshall, who is about fifty-five
year, OF age and rather good looking,
left her bed on Friday night last about
I1:30 O'Clock, and telling her husband that
she could not sleep and would 90 down
stairs, dressed and left the room.
WENT RAPIDLY DOWN STREET.
A short While afterward Mr.. Marshall
heard a gate close, and, jumping mp, he ran
to a window in time TO see her going zap
Idly down Queen street. He started for
his clothing TO dress and follow her, but
she had hidden them, and he lost some
time in finding them in closet.
Asquickly as possible he dressed and went
out, Dut though he went all>around the
3aeighborhood hunting for her, and called
Patrick street, her sister, and at the homes
of the other members of the family lac was
unsuccessful in liudng her.
She had disappeared once before, about
a year ago. The family thought that she
had possibly gone TO one of her brothers in
| Fairfax county, but when she did not return
on Monday, MI Henry Fiersoii, OF Long
Branch, on the Washington & Southern
Railway, one OF her brothers, was tele-
graphed To and the reply said she had not
been seen there.
Nj Andrew Pierson, another brother,
was written to yesterday morning, but up
TO nine O'Clock last night no reply had been
received from him, though one waseXpected
on the 7:20 train from Quautco.
FEAR SUICIDE OR ACCIDENT.
Mr. Marshall, the husband of the missing
woman, SCOTS at the idea of suicide, say
ing that she was always coutented, and,
though her mind was failing, she never
showed any tendency to seIf-destruction.
The other members Of the family, however,
do not share Mr. MarsbaIrs sanguine opin-
ion aud are greatly alarmed. fearing that
she has either made way with herself, or
has wandered off aud met with some acci-
dent.
When Mrs. Marshall left home, she took
nothing with her, except small bundle
! OF unfinished clothing. She had but lit
tie money, aud neither of the ticket agents
at the railway stations in Alexandria recol-
/ lect selling wcman OF her description a
| ticket TO any pOiut on their roads.
While the reply from Mr.. Andrew Pier
son is waited, Mr. Marshall aud his son
! are hunting every where for some trace of
| the missing woman.
