Hindrances to Religious Life
There were not few hindrances in the
way of Zaccheus, which are well
brought out in Robertson's unsurpassed
sermon on this lesson. o. There was
the outward hindrance of the crowds,
which presented no small difficulty, be-
cause it must be overcome at once, or
the opportunity would be forever lost.
(2) His profession gave him great and
easy opportunities to do wrong with
impunity, yet to the increase of his own
gains. (3) 1t tended to make him salts
fed with low standard of morality,
according to the customs of the busi-
ness in which he was engaged. az lac
cheus was tempted to that hardness in
evil which comes from having no char
acter to support. Nothing but evil was
expected of him, and thus society itself
held him down. 90 Another hindrance
lay in the recollection of past guilt.
"Remorse is like the clog of an insoluble
debt. The debtor is proverbially ex-
travagant. A little more or less makes
no difference, so he plunges further
into debt" IF man lose the worlds
respect he can retreat back upon the
consciousness of God within. But If Il
man lose his own respect he sinks down
and down, and deeper yet, until h. can
get it back again only by feeling that
he is sublimely loved" 90 Past guilt
becomes hindrance, too, by making
fresh sin easier. "a All his associations
in business and society hold him back.
To repent was to declare that not only
himself but his companions were wrong.

They Arc Said to Bs Cheaper and Better
Insulated Than Rubber Ones.
For many purposes paper, next to
wire, is an excellent insulation, and it
has of late come extensively into use in
telephone and other cables. But it is
not generally known that such an in
sulation has been tried under water.
This is, however, the fact, and one
such cable is now doing excellent work
at the bottom of the Hudson river, at
New York, right In the track of all the
domestic and sea-bound traffic. OF
course, the cable is lead-covered and
otherwise protected, but it depends for
Its insulation, electrically, on thin
spirals of paper around each stranded
interior wire. The laying Of such a
cable in such place might, few
years ago, have been considered little
short of suicidal, but experience has
demonstrated the perfect practicability
of the scheme.
In considering the laying of such
cables in such situations the fact is i'm
portant that one hundred pair, paper
insulated, lead-covered cable can be
bought for fifty cents foot, while the
rubber-insulated cable would probably
cost not less than three dollars per foot,
while figured on the basis Of equal
electrical effectiveness, the price would
be fifty or hundred to one In favor Of
the paper cable-other considerations
left out. 1t will thus be seen that even
If 1t be admitted that the paper cable is
risky under water, its cheapness is such
that one can afford apparently to throw
II away when II has developed serious
defects and to put in new one.

always a government monopoly, and
imperial guards were placed over the
plantations. Hence the Importance OF
the position of the tax gatherer at Jeri-

HUNTING AN APACHE.
A Leaf Taken from Army Life in Western

n
Arizona.
The following is a part OF letter
from former Indianapolitan, the wife
of an army officer, who is stationed at
Fort Apache, A. T., and 1t gives some
idea of army life as it Is found in
those remote regions, says the Min
neapolis Journal. THE captain cher
husband) is away on a practice march.
He has been prepared to leave on an
hours notice since the middle of July.
He only takes, for his company, fifteen
days rations, SO he may not be gone SO
very long. An Apache Indian named
Kid murdered another eight years
ago or So He was captured, tried and
sentenced to Yuma. On the way to
prison he killed the sheriff and two
assistants and escaped, and they have
been trying to catch him ever since.
"He makes Mexico his headquarters,
but stirs us up every little while by
raid. by stealing a girl or two and
slaughtering somebody. He was re-
ported near here a few days ago; SO
three troops of cavalry are out, in de-
tachments, securing the country for
him. The captain, under orders to
march east to Mount Ord for the an
nual encampment, was suddenly sent
west in order to establish a supply
camp for cavalry. Kid is probably in
Mexico by now, but he could lead them
a merry dance were he in the neighbor-
hood.
"He could stand behind rock or
cactus within stones throw of the
whole regiment of cavalry seeking him
and laugh their efforts to scorn, or he
could run his pony till it dropped, seize
another-the whole of Arizona Is his
livery stable-or, IL no other was con-
venient, he could, without troubling
himself In the least, walk seventy-five
miles In twenty-four hours, which Is
more than cavalry horse can do, to
say nothing of white man. These In
dams are wonderful.

and his wife made eighty miles in eleven
