For the Safety of Passengers.

A law will be introduced in the pres
emit congress requiring all steamship
companies to increase the number of
experienced sailors in the crews of ves-
sells carrying passengers, and to compel
sailors to pass a civil service eXamina-
ton before being eligible to employ
ment on passenger boats. The meas
ure will receive the support of the Am
erican Seamen's union. The officers of
the union say, in support of the meas
ure, that the lives Of passengers are not
protected and that in case Of accident
few large steamers would be able to
man their life boats with competent
men. One of the officials, in speaking
of the bill, said:
The greater part Of the crews are
made up of men who are paid $l2 a
z onth. Of course the union sailors
have a. selfish interest in the passage of
the proposed. law, but the arguments
in it's favor will be based on the danger
to the. travelling public through having
ships crews made up of men who know
more about handling acoal shovel than
pulling an oar.

DO FISH FEEL PAINo

that the fish felt something; mebbe

Those who used in their younger days
to carry in their trousers pocket cork
stuck full of hooks may remember oc-
casions when a hook worked free from
the cork. Once accidentally hooked
a pointer dog by the ear, and the
language he used and the way he ran
out of line convinced me that he felt
something. He may have felt only a
pleasant sensation, but he didn't come
within fifty feet Of me for two hours.
The desperate sagging back and zigzag
resistance of a hooked fish, the flip
flaps and straining gasps of a freshly
landed fish may be evidences of pleas
urable sensations, but am tempted to
consider them us closely allied to that
joyous thrill which prompts man TO
rise above the insidious caress of a
strong, well-bent pin.

A Kicker.

He kicked the moment he was born
In a stalwart, luSty cry
He kicked and howled in his babyhood
Till the neighbors thought they'd die;
He kicked when first he went to school,
And he scratched the nursemaid too:
He kicked on his college football team
Yes; he kicked his whole life through.
He kicked right hard in politics,
Though he didn't often vote,
And he kicked al the way the choir sang,
Though he couldn't sing note:
He kicked the bucket finally,
And nobody InOurned, you bet!
But, unless his legs have been burned off,
He is probably kicking yet.

Some people mistake contrarines

Some people mistake contrariness
for originality.
A travelling agent for one of the
big bicycle concerns Of Kenosha, makes
without reserve the statement that his
house has already sold for the season
of '96 twice as many bicycles as they
made during the year 1895. He says
that the number of dealers in wheels
has increased, and that the people
generally were coming to look upon the
bicycle as much as matter of conven-
fence and a matter of necessity as they
one time regarded their horse and
buggy.

1t takes deal of workEto close up

less. In disposing of property the sig
natures of all the heirs and the wit
nesses to the signature are necessary
on deed. A case in point. In clos
ing up the estate Of the late Laprelate
Barrows, there were three deeds made
out disposing of the several pieces of
real estate. The number of heirs in
the estate is sixty three, whose names
of course were necessary on the papers.
Then there were 126 witnesses and 63
notaries, whose signatures were affixed,
making the number of signatures on
each legal paper 252, scattered
throughout five different states. The
time and trouble necessary to procure
all these signatures may be better i'm
agined than described.

CHRISTIAN JEW.
Strange Doctrines First Proclaimed
to Cincinnatinns

J.A.Forney OF New York city has appeared
in Cincinnati, O.. as the representative and
advocate OF a unique religious society, the
members OF which designate themselves as
tn Christian Israelites, SAYS the CONNER
cial Gazette. The society had its origin in
England, in the early part of this century
where Its founder and most eloquent eX-
FOUNDER was Il person named John Wroe
The chief branch OF the society in America
is in New York city, where it was established
in 1916. 1t was there that Mr.. Forney few
years ago united with it and was sent out to
preach its doctrines. According to Wroe. the
world at present is nearing the end of the
present dispens alton.
In 1916 or Whereabouts the new dispense
ton or millennium will begin. and the new
Kingdom will begin consisting of Gods
chosen people. This will be inaugurated
with fires and earthquakes and storms and
caamities, by which two thirds of the then
existing population of the earth will be
swept away. Following this will come the
resurrection and the judgment The good
souls will ascend and the bad will be con-
demned to thousand years existence in the
outer darkness. Those people shall be liy-
ing on the earth, having survived the purln
cation by fire and earthquake, will constitute
the chosen people over whom Christ is to
reign.
lhe great oolect with the CHRISTIAN Israel
lite in this world is to escape the death of
the mortal body, and to do this lie must be
physically and religiously pure. He accepts
the Old Testament and the New aud is
mus, to some extent Hebrew and Chris
tan. They reject all pictures and images.
In public worship they avoid all pray
ers save the occasional use of the Lords
prayer, justifying this by Christs words,
Matt vi, 6. They observe the Sabbath OF
the Jew and the Christian and meet for
worship on both days

Among the men who early felt the benefits
Of cycling, and Gid not hesitate TO eNpend
money, is Colonel Ben. ;. Lowell, of Boston,
Treasurer Of the John p. Lowell Arms Com
pany Of that city. Their firm name has
been a familiar one Tor over fifty years hay
ing teen established ia 1870 doing Il sport
ing goods and gun business. Being In a
kindred tradn, ii was lut natural that they
should engage in the making and selling Of
bicycles. Their success has been unbOunded,
as they have made Il name for the Lowell
Diamond Cycles that is Il familiar house
hold one in every hamlet in the land. II is not
possible 10 have done that without cost and
a considerable one too. rs readers of current
literature will admit. for have not all of us
encountered the symbolic words "Loyelis
Diamonds" To estimate the gross amount
that has been expended for advertising
would be difficult task. but it is said that
considerably over 100000 was spent by
ther, during 1894 in printers ink. All the
big Eastern dailies had entire pages, which
cost lots of money, and the magazines filed
many pages, exploiting Lowell Diamond
Cycles.
Can it be wondered at. then, that cycling
has become popular, when men like Colonel
Lowell spend such sums to make it so?
Colonel Lowell is Treasurer Of the John p.
LoyelLArms Company. and is a man of rare
business attachments, acquired by long expe-
rience and an aptitude possessed by few
In private life he has won the respect and es-
teen Of every one he has been brought in
contact with, while his public record is
equally good, on five different occasions rep
Tesentin9 his town in the Legislature, Sery-
ing in both branches. He served on the stan
OF Governor Long for three consecutive
years, and is now a member of Governor
Greenhalge's staff. He has been a deegateto
four National conventions, and there is not
al Office in the gift Of his townsmen which
would not be at his disposal were it not for
his cat business responsibilities. There is
no man in the bicycle business more respect
ed than Colonel Benz. S. Lowell and no better
bicycle is made in the world than the Lowell
Diamond.
