Religions chief danger lies with the
religious. 1t is professionalism in
religion which most damages it.
There would be no fear about any
loss of interest in religion were there
no loss of true thought as to the thing
itself. What curious notions about it
are found among it's representatives!
In the charming "Reminiscences
of Motley" he tells us that in the be-
there was plenty of religion in the
land, but it had little opportunity of
showing itself" Fancy a religion
which found little opportunity of
showing itself amid all the wrongs
and miseries of this naughty world,
because, forsooth, there was a lack
of proper ecclesiastical functioning
of piety.
In. Far From the Madding
Crowd we have a quaint picture of
the good Joseph Snodgrass, who was
so very religious" the official who
duly passed the plate at the Let
Your-Light-So -So-Shine," and who al
ways bowed properly to the rector
on the road. A conception, this,
which leaves little something to
be desired. .t
In the most wonderful church of
christendom, the woman who leaves
the home for the convent is called "a
religious Are, then, the home
duties unspiritual, and are the beau
tifuI domesticities not divine?
When one, hears of a man that "he
has got religion" the question arises:
Is there a microbe in the air OF the
revival tent, which, taken into the
system, developes a state of religi-
osity?
What a picture is that Of the aged
Carlyle, reading a letter from one OF
the "unco' guild" urging him to turn
his thoughts to religion. AS though
that intensely earnest soul had ever
turned his thoughts to anything else
than religion! What Carlylean
laugh must have concluded the read
ing of this precious epistle!
Thus, all forms of religion Unite IN
unconsciousIy caricaItUring 1T. 1t is
such queer misconceptions of the sim
plest and div;nest Of human inter
ests which produce the sense OF nau-
sea in the mind of the average man
that he mistakes for dislike OF re-
ligion. This it is which awakens the
suspicion met with ON every hand
that religion is losing its hold over
men, while everywhere real religion
is showing that 1T sways mankind
as much as in the ages of faith. True
religion never will lose lis hold over
men while life beats high in man, for
lit is but the natural expression of life
itself. 1t is the bond (religo) of life;
the reverent recognition of the mys-
tic threefold strand of life, and the
faithful rendering of the dues or du-
ties involved therein.
Recognizing a power over us from
which we spring, an infinite and etsr-
nal energy of which we are the high
est manifestations known to us, it is
reverence toward this divine being
and obedience to the laws of this di-,
vine life.
Recognizing this divine life within
the soul, in ''the abysmal depths of
it is reverence toward
the inner self and loyalty to the ideals
of the spirit.
Recognizing this divine life in our

zi and Cost.
Policeman Scott L. Reynolds, of Los
Angeles, Cal, has conceived the idea
a bicycle ambulance would be use
full in that city. The cut gives a
very good idea of the proposed We
hicle. 1t is to be arranged SO it can
be used single or double, that is, pro-
PEELED by one man or two. The pa
tient rests on a removable stretcher
as shown in the cut. Overhead is an
adjustable canopy with side curtains.
The advantages claimed for the We
hicle are that it will jolt the patient
less than a wagon, can make better
time than a wagon and horses, will
always be ready for instant use, and
the original cost and expense of MAIN
tanning will be about one-fifth less
than that of a wagon ambulance.
The Los Angeles firm, which has been
figuring on it, estimates the original

cost at 5000 to $500.
Chicago officials are disposed to
ridicule the inventors claims. DR..
Cotton, the city physician, said:
The machine appears impracticable
for many reasons. In the first place,
the principal requirement of an am
bulance is trained surgeon, who
can sit at the patients head. He
must have nothing else to do but at
tend to his patient. The two men in
this picture are horses. They can
not give first aid to the injured, as
they propel him to the hospital. The
idea is novel, but devoid of utility.
Two husky men are necessary and
will cost more than a good team and
one driver. I can see half a dozen
other serious objections and no coun-
terbalancing advantages. On a boule-
ward it might go as fast as an ordi-
nary ambulance. But in nine-tenths
of the calls to prairie streets, rail-
road tracks or fires this machine
would be as liable to break down as
a motorcycle. The risk of further
injury to a seriously wounded man
would be far too great"
Lieut. Backus was as positive on
the question of impracticability. He
said: "Our present ambulance sys-
tenn, subject to a few needed i'm
provements, such as rubber tires, is
as good as any man can want. This
machine would be disabled on the
first ordinary run it made. How
it could get through a crowd at a
fire or explosion I cannot see. 1t
might run on boulevard, but very
few ambulance runs are made there.
I would rather ride in patrol wagon
any day than in this new-fangled and
useless machine"

"FIxEDn A RUNAWAY WIFE.-Two
weeks ago Henry Holbfoster returned
to his home in Elizabeth, N. j., and
found that his wife had fled. She left
a note bidding him goodbye. Hob,
foster removed his household effects to
a room in Mrs. Richards boarding
house. Saturday evening the dead
bodies of Holbfoster and his wife were
found on the floor of the room. They
had evidently been dead many hours,
and from appearance Holbfoster had
shot himself after killing his wife. The
woman had o bullet wound in her
right temple. Holbfoster's body lay
across that of his wife, a revolver
clutched in his hand.
From what can be learned Holbfoster
enticed his wife into the room with the
intention of killing her. On Monday
last he received letter from his wife,
then in New York city. He was heard
to remark that if he ever found his
wife he would Elk" her so she wouldn't
run away again. Thursday night he
had an interview with his wife at the
railroad station. Friday he procured q
revolver and practiced shooting at
some cats, and in the evening he went
to Christian Yadley's house, on Spencer
street, where he met his wife and
coaxed her to go home with him at 10
o'clock. That was the last seen of
them alive.

A WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED.
Last Friday night, on the Terre
Haute plantation, in st. Johns parish
Louisiana, terrible butchery of hui
man beings took place. While Rosario
Giordano and his family were seated at
the supper table, Joe Noska walked up
to the door, and leveling double bar
relied shotgun, fired. Mrs. GiordaDo
fell to the floor corpse, and the bullets
that did not go through her went
through both legs of tke four months-old
infant she held in her arms. Giordano,
fearing that the tender babe would be
killed in the fall, sprang forward to
clasp it, and the assassin then fred
again. The buckshot entered the groin
and leg of Giordauo. The ten-year-old
girl, on seing her mother fall, ran for
ward and received a portion of the load
of buckshot that struck her father.
The shot entered her abdomen, literal
ly tearing it to pieces. AT the same
time little Nicolina fell to the floor,
wounded through the head.
The assassin, Joe Noska, did not
move from the spot, but when he saw
Beneditto Giordano, the nephew of the
dead woman, and Charley Columbano
coming toward him, he coolly placed
two fresh shells in his gun and waited
until they got very close to him. Then
he raised the gun and fred both bar
rels, the two men falling to the ground
dead. Then the murderer, throwing
his gun over his shoulder. made his es

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with a severe attack of catarrh, which in some
resembles the former. The individ-
uals suffer severely with pain about the fore
head, eyes and ears, with soreness in throat
and stoppage of the nasal passages. and in
fact are incapacitated for work of any kind
for days at time. These are catarrhal suf-
ferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used with
the best results in such cases. The remedy
will give instant relief.
