Julius Cesar.
esar had arrived in Roma

Julius Cesar had arrived in Rome.
 And he had not come there for his health.
 Neither did those In power think he had come there for theirs.
 They were on to the curves of Julius.
 A delegation, composed of city council men and prominent citizens, with the mayor as chairman, had come out to the first station on the Appian way to meet him.
 He had refused to treat them or treat with them.
 This was sad blow to the delegation, but Caesar wasn't after any particular del egation.
 What he wanted was the entire conven. tion.
 Before the caucus in the city Cesar spoke.
 Sir" said the chairman of the caucus, "why did you cross the rubiconr'
 This was the moment of Cesar's tri- umph.
 Rising to his full height, and letting his voice go laundering forth until Rome rocked on her seven hills, he replied:
 Friends and fellow spqrs, in response to your inquiry I would say that crossed the rubioon because I wanted to get on the other side"
 After which he had a oinoh and wns unanimously nominated
 Julius Caesar was no slouch.-Truth.

Career of the Man Who Is at the Head e1
 the L. A. w.
 Sterling Elliott was born in Michigan in 1852. His father was miller, which may account for the good natured way in which the younger Elliott has ever &C., oepted life At the age of l9 he went away from home to learn the carriage builders trade. The concentration of purpose and the ability to fulfill it which have marked his later years were shown at this early age, for nt the end of II months he was foreman of fac tory of considerable pretensions.
 At one time he was associated with Thomas B. Jeffery, now of Gormully & Jeffery, in the manufacture of one of his inventions, dash stitching machine. He afterward designed the only suc- cessful machine that has ever tied a square knot in a thread. One of his most notable inventions. was the mon- ster electric chronoSraph for timing races to the sixtieth of second. The pneumatic trotting sulky. now so uni versally used. was designed by Elliott. On this idea alone he has l [ patents, infringements on some of which are the occasion of cases now in court. More than 40 patents on smaller devices have been taken out by him.
 In an altogether unpretentious and incidental way he addresses tho public with voice and pen, and the public has insisted on investing him with breadth of pleasing. homely. convincing philos- ophy.
 His interest in bicycling and good roads dates back half a score of years, and he has ever been an intelligent counselor and an active, ardent cham. pion of the cause on any and every oc- casion. He has been league member for ten years and a member of the Mas- sachusetts board of officers for six years. He was chairman of the national high way committee during 1894 and has been a member of the national assembly since 1890. In 1894 Mr. Elliott was made chief consul of Massachusetts and in November last was re elected in the same manner to serve during the present year.-WheeL

Cycling and Filtration.

Speaking of bicycles, a dyapeptic writer says they have ruined filtration. That is not true.
 In a contest between irritation an anything else the anything will be worsted.
 Filtration is a more or less proper at- tendant of whatever goes on, and the wheel carries it into hitherto inaccessi- ble places, if there is any place to which it has not belonged.
 Let no one expect too much of the modern vehicle. It carries the identical kind of human nature that has existed since the world began.-Wheel.

 Some of you were born on the banks of the Yazoo or the Savannah, and you are now living in this latitude. Some of you on the banks of the Kennebec, or at the foot of the Green Mountains, and you are here now. Some of you on the prairies of the west, or the tablelands, and you are here now. Oh, how many of us far away from home All of us exiles This is not our home. Heaven is our home. Oh, I am so glad when the royal exile went back he left the gate ajar, or left it wide open. 'Going homei' That is the dying exclamation of the majority of Christians. have seen many Christians die. I think nine out of ten of them in the last moment say, "Going home" Going home out of punishment and sin and sorrow and sad ness Going home to join in the hilari- ties of our parents and our dear children who have already departed Going home to Christ. Going home to God. Going home to stay. Where are your loved ones that died in Christ? You pity them. An, they ought to pity you! You are an exile far from home. They are homel Oh, what a time it will be for you when the gatekeeper of heaven shall say: "Take off that rough sandal. the journeys ended Put down that saber, the battles won.

If you ever heard anything sweet CT, never did, although cannot adopt all its theology:
 Twas whispered one morning in heaven
 How the little child angel May,
 In the shade of the great white portal.
 Sat sorrowing night and day;
 How she said to the stately warden.
 He of the key and bar;
 "Oh, angel, sweet angel pray you
 Set the beautiful gates aiar,
 Only 8 little, pray you,
 Set the beautiful gates aiar.
 "I can hear my mother weeping.
 She is lonely she cannot see
 A Rlimmer of light in the darkne4
 When the gates shut after me.
 Oh. turn me the key. sweet angel:
 The splendor will shine so far"
 But the warden answered. sI dare not
 Set the beautiful gates Rjar,"
 Spoke low and answered. "I dare not
 Set the beautiful gates ajar."
 Then up rose Mary. the blessed.
 Sweet Mary, the mother of Christ
 Her hand on the hand of the angel
 She laid, and her touch sufficed.
 Turned was the key in the portal.
 Fell ringing the golden bar,
 And, 10, In the little child's fingers
 Stood the beautiful gates ajar.
 In the little child's angel fingers
 Stood the beautiful gates ajar.

Queensberry's Challenge,

The Marquis of Queensberry, accord ing to an English paper. IS open to back himself for $500 against any amateur cyclist of his own weight. which is a trifle over 154 pounds. Here's a chance for Paderewski or other notabilities who do not scale over his weight. The next on the programme will be a match race between John Bull and Uncle Sam. When this last event is pulled off. lis ten for the eag les scream !-Bearings.

Rear Admiral Mak.ron.

''Rear Admiral Makaroff of the Rus- sian navy" says the Philadelphia Rec ord, "who was recently a guest of Charles H. Cramp, is one of the most conspicuous figures of modern European naval history. Although only 47 years of age, he is first on the list of Russian rear admirals and is senior to a large number of officers whom he superseded by special promotion. He it was who, during the last Turko- Russian war, was regarded the Skokeloff of the Russian navy, and, like that great general, whose portraits he resembles, was several times promoted for his daring and enterprise. His career in that war was an uninter- rupted series of dashing attacks on Turk ish ships in the Batum and other Turk jsh harbors of the Black sea, in which his skill was second alone to his daring. That is why he is the senior rear admiral at the age of 47 years. He recently con- manded the Asiatic squadron and is now on his way home to assume com mand of the Baltic fleet. :"

you are Englishmen. Your ancestry served the Lord Have I not read of the sufferings of the Haymarket, and have I not seen in Oxford the very spot where Ridley and Latimer mounted the red chariot? Some of your ancestors heard George Whitefield thunder. or heard Charles Wesley sing, or heard John Bunyan tell his dream of the celestial city, and the cathedrals under the shad- ow of which some of you were born had in their grandest organ roll the name of the Messiah.
 bespeak for the royal exile of my ser men the love and the service of all English exiles. Yes, some of you came hunger, on throne of human skeletons, sat queen. All efforts at amelioration halted by massacre. Procession of fam ines, procession of martyrdoms march ing from northern channel to Cape Clear and from the Irish sea across to the Atlantic. An island not bounded us geographers tell us, but, as every phi lanthropist knows, bounded on the north and the south and the east and the west by woe which no human politics can al- leviate and only Almighty God can as- suage. Land of Goldsmith's rhythm, and Sheridan's wit, and O'Copnell's 8 eloquence, and Edmund Burke's states manship, and O'Brien's sacrifice. An other Patmos with its apocalypse of blood Yet you cannot think of it today without having your eyes blinded with emotion, for there your ancestors sleep ill graves, some of which they entered for lack of bread. For this royal exile of my sermon I bespeak the love and the service of all Irish exiles. Yes, some of you are from Germany, the land of Lu- ther, and some of you are from Italy, the land If Garibaldi, and some of you are from France, the land of John Calvin, one of the three mighties of the glorious reformation. Some of you are descend ants of the Puritans. and they were
