seat for the driver, with levers and
wheels for manipulating the wagon. The
motive power is petroleum. A very
light battery furnishes just sufficient
power to instigate combustion, and this
drives the vehicle ahead. In the rear

petroleum, which, it is said, will carry
the wagon - miles at a maximum cost
of cent mile. The entire machinery

engines used in yachts, and it is claimed
that absolutely no danger from fire or
explosion exists. The cost of one of
these machines Is about $500.

BY JAMES W. BRIGHT.
Vain is our hope to walk Alright,
To keep in virtues path.
If uniumined be Thy light
And needless of Thy wrath.
In vain we strive to find the way
Without the heavenly guide;
Our knowledge mocks and leads astray
The heart that swels with pride
When guilt has stained the heart and hand,
And troubled is our peace,
Thy righteous law in its demand
Alone can give release.
That wisdom give that always hears
Thy voice that speaks within;
The f, ar that loves, the love that fears,
AMI hate Of every sin.

FLOWERS FOR INVALfBS.

In sending flowers to an invalid, it is
much wiser to send them in dainty little
nosegays, or perfect fingle flower, per-
haps long stemmed openin6 rose to- day,
or a small bunch of sweet peas or violets
tomorrow, than to send large quantity
of flowers in formal boquet that will
fade as soon and perhaps be banished from
the sick room altogether by the physician.
A growing plant in blossom will have
pleasure for longer time than cut flow
ers. Both plants ahd flowers should be
removed from the sick room at night. In
sending fruit to the sick lay few leaves
of the plant or tree in a tiny basket or
over the top, or tie bunch of them to the
handle of the basket A border of flow
ers that have grown outdoors is also at
tractive border for basket of fruit. In
serving fruit to the sick, see that is cold.
Small fruit should be served on glafs, and
have a little chopped ice sprinkled over
them, whether for the sick or well. A
most delicious fruit course at dinner, to be
served as a salad, or in the place of Ro-
man punch, is of red and white currents,
with powdered ice and little sugar and
sherry Red raspberries with ice are i'm
