magazine was sent on its mission by a
little girl who sat in the lap OF the
engineer in charge, and by his direc-
tion put her little finger on the button.
1t was not Shamgar and his goad that
won victory from the Phlllstlnes; 1t
was God who won it. 1t was not John
the Baptist who fired multitudes to the
inspired by zeal and power from AL
mighty God. There is a power in a
man that you cannot account for
through natural law. How do you ac-
count in natural law for the marvellous
success of Mr.. Moody in New York
which is all stirred up over his
evangelistic preaching? We as
churches are too much engrossed in
material things, else we would have the
same power that Mr.. Moody does. But
the church need never apologize to
science, for the great realities. Rob
man of his faith in the future life and
mis- reliance on prayer, and you have
material for Russian Nihilist and an
American socialist, and a people hard
to control. This is explanatory of how
murderers and suicides have lost their
grip on the spiritual life. Teach men
that there is spiritual life, a personal
responsibility to God, and you Will
change the whole current of life. We
are on the threshold of another year:
let US 60 with the God of Joshua and
psrtake of his great spiritual force.
What made Joshua great was prayer
The devil never worries about
men who do not pray, for
he has such in his possession already.
Prayer is swifter than lightning and
stronger than an avalanche. Elisha
prayed, and the widows son was raised
from the dead. John Knox prayed,
Lord, give me Scotland, or L die"
and see where Scotland is today. Cen
eral Havelock was a man of prayer on
the east Indian battle field. Washing
ton prayed fervently and long at Valley
Forge. "More hath been wrought in
this world than man hath ever dreamed
Of" says Lord Tennyson. Let Gods
way be our way. Men do not prosper
because they do not believe in God.
The church is measured by spirituality,
unity faith in God-not by wealth or
social influence. When Mrs. General
Booth was buried, a woman persisted
in kissing the glass over the dead
woman's face and when ordered by the
guard to move on, declared, 81 will not
move on until l have kissed the glass
over the face of the woman who saved
my boy" This is the last Sabbath in
1896: can't you hear its retreating foot
steps? And here the speaker made a
powerful appeal for his uuconverted
and accept at once the God Of Joshua,
and start out in the new year strong in
the power and grace of Gods holy
spirit.
The offertory anthem of "Holy, Holy,
Holy, Lord God Almighty" was beau
tifully rendered by Misses Shelton.

The fact has been motto - and COM
mented upon by Americans builders,
who have recently visited Mexico that
in many of the modern buildings, both
residences and business blocks, erected
there, particularly in Monterey, where
the march of progress is under greater
headway than in any other city of the
country, there is no sufficient care
given to the quality of the material
which enters into the construction
work. Instances are cited where, on
imposing buildings, the class of lumber
and other building materials used have
been of such an inferior quality as to
attract attention. There is no reason
why the best quality of material should
not be used in the modern buildings of
Mexico. and if the owners of these
structures will only insist upon it the
architect and material-man will be
forced to put them in.-Chihuahua

sided at a large meeting of the Cuban
sympathizers in Dallas, Tex. He is the
son of President Sam Houston, of the
one time Texas republic, and a soldier
who made Santa Anna, d butcher of the
Weyler order, climbed a tree at the
battle of San Jacinto, short distance
from Houston, Tex. If Andrew Jack
son Houston possesses the military
talents of his father and can raise d
regiment of 1000 Texas cowboys, he
can make Weyler's famous trOcha look
like prairie dog patch. Old soldiers

Terry's rangers during the war. The

Dogs and BicycIists.

German cyclists have an effectual way
of getting rid of troublesome dogs though
the method is not one which could be req
commended for use in busy thorough
fares. Bicycle bombs are now manufac-
tured in the fatherland-small but ex-
tremely noisy explosives, which exercise
a magical effect upon the cur of agrees
sive propensties. This startling device
for the protection of cyclists has al
ready created quite a scare in canine
circles in the Rhineland, and dog In
Germany thinks twice now before at
tempting to modest people on wheels.
But that the explosive has it's draw
backs, especially when sent through the
post, was shown in a very lively fashion
in a German postoffice the other day
while the officials were handling a pack
age of bombs addressed to the Empress
Frederick's residence, Schloss Friedrich
shot, Cronberg. The crackers, in their
eagerness to get at the dogs, exploded
with a tremendous report, and thoughts
of internal machines and other horrors
instantly invaded the official mind. In
quiries revealed the truth, but the manu-
facturer will nevertheless have to pay
a stiff fine for sending explosives through
the postoffice.-St. James Gazette
Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1896-06-19

cts are of even more importance, and the
very best should be bought, dark gray IN
color, and about eight pounds to the pair.
Where people camp in pairs, three double
blankets are enough; if singly, two each
VIII be needed.
Add to these a rubber blanket, about
6X4, costing about $3.50, and one of the
most useful of camp possessions. If a
permanent camp is to be made, camp
chairs and beds can be taken whare
transfer wagons can come, otherwise re-
ject them all.
A pillow may be allowed, but II should
be simply a case made of thickest tick
ing, to be filled after arrival. Make but
tonholes at the end, so that it can be but
toned together. Take also some yards Of
closely woven mosquito netting and q
hammock may be added as a luxury, If
you can spare space.
The pillow is to be filled with spruce
browse" of which your bed will also be
made, this browse" being only the tips
of the sprays, and never by any chance
pieces of the branches. Pile it as thick
as possible-to have it thick means a
good many hours of work-and you have
a bed springy, soft and breathing balm
and tonic.
At6ve all things. take good even tenn
per with you and trunkful Of determi-
nation not to be fretted or worried by
petty annoyances and inconvenience.
Camp life has many advantages and GER
tain disadvantages, and the latter must
be looked at squarely in the face, other
wise your party will be rudely disturbed.

CHEAP WAY TO KILL SQUIRRELS
james Mckenzie Gives His EXper-
fence to the Public.

James Mckenzie of Fruit Land farm,
Saltese lake, believes that he has dis
covered a sure shot for squirrels, and de-
sires to give the public the benefit of his
experience.
I mix one pound of plaster of paris, -
he said yesterday, with two pounds of
white corn meal In mixing it is neces-
sary not to stir too thoroughly, as that
has a tendency to send the plaster of paris
to the bottom, as 1t is much heavier than
the meal / place a tablespoonful of this
mixture on a piece Of tin or wood, so as
to keep the dampness from it, and place
it out early in the morning, but not on
rainy days, as the plaster of paris, when
the squirrels will not eat it. On each
little heap thus set out ! sprinkle a little
white sugar. The squirrels are fond of
sweets and getting a taste of the sugar
reach the corn meal, which they also like,
and eat freely of the mixture. The plas-
ter of paris hardens in their stomachs
and kills them every time.
1T is the cheapest and surest method
that l have tried. The plaster of paris
can be bought at retail for five cents a
pound, and in large quantities For three
cents. The meal can be bought at retail
for three cents a pound, and in quantity
for two cents. A few farmers can club
together and buy in the large quantities. -
Mr.. Mckenzie says he will be glad to
give additional information, if wanted.
His address is No. East Sprague ave-
nue., Spokane.
