before morning but for the mysterious
providence that had guided my brother
there to save him.
At first the faithful dog was inclined
to resent any attempt on the part of my
brother to touch his master. but after
little coaxing his noble intelligence
seemed to comprehend the situation and
he allowed him to approach and OK
anime the unconscious man.
On careful examination he found
him still breathing but badly benumb

menced the struggle to rescue him from
his perilous pasition.

into execution.

This he kept up necessarily. assisted

Thou, Thou art the Potter, and we are the Clay
And morning and even, and day after day,
Thou turnest Thy wheel, and our substance il
wrought
Into form OF Thy will, into shape of Thy
thought.
Thou, Thou art the Potter, the wheel turns
around,
Thine eyes do not leave it. Our atoms were
Fine, line in Thy mills. o the pain and the
Thou knowest their number not one shall he
lost.
Should Clay to the Potter make answer and
say,
"Now what dost thou fashion," Thy hand
would not stay;
Untiring, resstess, without any sound,
True, true to It's Master, the wheel would go
round.
How plastic are we rs we lie in Thy hands,
Who, who as the Potter the Clay understands?
Thy ways are wonder, hut Oft as spark,
Some hint of Thy meaning shines out in the
dark.
What portion is this for the sensitive clay
To be beaten and nodded from day unto day,
To answer not, question not, just to be still,
And know Thou art shaping us unto Thy VIII.
This, this may we plead with Thee. Workman

Press deep in our substance some symbol of

That Thou wilt acknowledge the works as Thine

THE FUTURE OF THE HORSE
Reasons Why the Bicycle and the
E,I Road VIII Not Displace the

(From the Atho Transcript
One of the leading hardware journals
says that the horseess age is almost
upon US. 1t claims that the feasibili
ty of substituting gas motors for hors-
es in the operation of delivery wagons
and smaller vehicles is demonstrated.
We think this is assuming altogether
too much. That the horse is being
superseded to a large extent for bust
ness purposes, and considerably also
for pleasure use, by the bicycle and
electric cars, is very obvious, and it is
probable that these and other intiu
! ences will continue to detract from the
general use of the horse for many pur-
poseR but we have no idea that we
shall ever live to see a "horseless age. :"
The noble animal will be very much in
evidence in spite of all the fads and
fancies and inventions that the coming
century may produce. No mechanical
continuance can fully supply the pc
culiar and delightful enjoyment of a
rapid drive behind, or upon, a fast
driving, or easy gated saddle horse.
A ride in an electric car, however ex-
hilarating and no.el for time, is, af-
ter all, rather monotonous, and one
soon wearies of it if it is INDUCED in
to great extent. The bicycl requires
too much physical effort for anyone but
the young and robust. 1t is practically
useless in winter, and it can never at
tain high favor where the roads are
not well adapted to its use 1t is
shown, we believe, that the devotees
of the wheel usually tire of the sport
in four or five years, and they are then
glad enough to get behind a good,
lively road horse, for a breezy drive
over the hills and through the woods,
along the soft roads and turfy farm
lanes, without regard for the condition
of the roads, with no fears of bursted
tire, or deranged machinery, and with
glorious chance to view and en- JOY
at leisure the scenic beauties on all
sides the distant hills bursting into
the blooms of autumn, and the nearer
prospect of farm, da e. lake, and river
The bicycler whirling rapidly along,
with eyes intent upon his way, has lit
tie opportunity to obtain more than a
futive glance at these attractions of
nature, and when he pauses for rest he
must give himself up wholly to rest
unless he is obliged to devote period
to tinkeriLg up his machine. The
bike is a very interesting vehicle
for while it will doubtless strength
en- its hold upon the public and claim
its devotees for years to come. and new
uses will be found for it as it is de
veloped and made more adaptable to
our life and ways. but it will never
drive the horse out Of use, much as it |
may affect its pecuniary value and uni
versatility of employment. Each sue
cessive half decade will have its par
ticular bicycle worshipers coming for
ward to fill the ranks of wheelmen dec |
mated by the backsiders, firing of
the sport and ready to exclaim, much

THE OLD CHURCH BELL,

High up DER the head of the people,
That pass like vague ships ON the street,
Ii hangs in its home in the stecple,
That throbs with the winds rhythmic beat;
What heeds h the world or its noises?
What recks II of trailc's loud din?
OF tears, or the clamor of voices,
That speak of the light hearts Within
Enough that its duty Is ringing
In every condition of weather,
Enough that its mission Is bringing
The spiritual household together;
Enough that 1t strikes for the hours
That speed In n ne'er ending chain,
And chimes over nup ial flowers,
And tolls for the funeral train.
Enough that II speaks to the mothers
In clear, unmistakable tones,
And fathers and sisters and brothers,
From all the earths pOpulous zones;
Enough that 1t brings to the altar
The ones who have strayed from the truth,
As well as the weak ones who falter
Mid trials unknown in their youth
So there, while the pale stars are marching
And rivers roll on to the sea,
And heavens blIc vault Is Oer-arching.
The bcl in its belfry will be;
And then. when its mission is ended;
And turned is the last burial sod,
Its echoes full-toncd will be blended
With trumpets that call lis to God.

DOWN IN THE DUST.

Is 1t worth while that we jostle brother
Bearing his load on the rough road of life?
Is 1t worth while that we jeer at each other
In blackness of heart? that we war to the
knifei
God pity us all in our ptifu strife.
God pity us all as we jostle each other;
God pardon us all for the triumps we feel
When fellow goes down meath his load on the
heather
Pierce to the heart; words are keener than
steel,
And mightier far for woe or veal
Were it not well, in this brief little journey,
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
We give HIM fish instead of a serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever and aye in the dust at his side?
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look ut the herds all at peace on the plain
Man, and nan only, makes war ON his brother,
And Laughs in his heart at his peril and pain,
Shamed by the beasts that go down on the
plain,
Is il worth while that we battle 10 humble
Some poor fellow soldier down into the dust2
God pity Us all Time oft soon will trmh'

LOuisiana's Great Sulphur Mine Said
to Have Been Opened at Last.
From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
New Orleans, Feb. 5.--The Standard Oil
Company has finally solved the great
problem on which hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been spent in vain of get
ting at the immense mass of sulphur
which lies some hundreds Of feet below
the surface In Calcasieu parish, Louisiana.
For thlrty-fve years company after COM
pany has experimental with this deposit
of sulphur which is probably the largest
in the country, and is valued at from
S30,O00,000 to slO0,0J0000. There was no
doubt about the sulphur being there, but
unfortunately between il and the surface
lay an immense quicksand, which could
not be removed, eXcavated or bored
through. There was no way of man reach
ing the sulphur and getting it up A
small town, Sulphur City, has grown up
in the neighborhood of the mines, at
which lived the operatives engaged in try
ing to solve their problem. AS the ex-
penses of these employees had to be paid,
and as not a pound of sulphur was OBJ
tained, the several companies organized
to mine it went, one after aonther, into
bankruptcy, until the property fell a short
time ago, into the hands of the great
Standard Oil Company
Long before the discovery of petroleum
in Pennsylvania party of hunters STUN
bled on petroleum spring in Calcasieu.
The Louisiana Petroleum Company was
organized to mine it, and while mining
discovered that side by side with the oil
was one of the most valuable deposits of
nearly pure sulphur in the world The
sulphur was 400 feet beyow the surface
and extended below 800 feet further There
was no doubt or question about this, but
unfortunately just above the sulphur was
a qucksand 100 feet thick. One effort
after another to reach the sulphur failed.
The drill struck an underground well, then
a gas well. After several deaths the
American Sulphur Company gave Up the
enterprise. Then a Belgian engineer un-
dertook the work and endeaV ored to neu-
traliZe the Quicksand by freezing it solid
and boring II through, and erected valu-
able refrigerAting machinery for that pur-
pose, but the quicksand would not stay
frozen and that system of mining had to
be abandoned.
Within the last few weeks the Standard
oil Company has got control of the prop
erty. 1t set about mining in a fashion
the very opposite Of that of the Belgian
engineer. Instead of using freezing as the
means Of getting at the sulphur, it is try
ing heat. Superheated water is forced
through ten-inch pipe on the sulphur,
melting it, and the liquid sulphur water
is then pumped up. a little exposure to
the air, so as to eVaporate the water,
leaves almost pure sulphur. The expert
ment has been a success beyond eXpecta-
tons. 1t was tried for the first time only
a few days ago, and several tons of sui
phur obtained at the first strike 1t has
been operated successfully ever since.
