One of the latest developed fool
tricks in cycling is for the rider to
get beside moving troly car, holding
on to the side, and thus move with the
car. The dangers of cycling are doubled
by this trick and absolutely nothing
is gained-except to show that the

Cruiser New York's Mar
row Escape From Total
Destruction.
Flames Next a Magazine of
Guncotton and Powder
Smothered.
So Heavily Flooded With Water That
the Cruiser Sank Three Feet
in Draught.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 10.-Fire in
vaded the forward magazine of the cruiser
New York at noon yesterday. The vessel
was lying off Tom pkinsville, but was
about to proceed to the Brooklyn Navy
yard.
The forward magazine is surrounded by
coal bunkers. In it were 1000 pounds Of
guncotton and 5000 pounds of powder.
Smoke poured from the magazine, and an
alarm was given.
For the first time in the history of the
ship the automatic electric fire alarm
failed to do its duty. Water was let into
the coal bunkers about the magazine, and
there was no stint in the quantity, so that
before the cruiser had passed Governors s
Island she had taken into the hold such a
weight of water that she sank three feet
in draught and had to be handled with
great caution.
Arriving at the navy-yard the New York
was pumped out. Early this morning an
examination was made into the cause of
the fire. 1t was found that the fire had
not originated in the magazine, but in the
coal-bunkers adjoining the forward wall.
Had there been a failure OF discipline On
board or had Captain Schley lost for an
instant the GOODNESS which has always
characterized him when faced by great
dangers, the new navy would have been
minus its finest cruiser.

Puritan steamed back and forth in front
of the life-saving station, signaling her
condition to the lie savers, who patroied
the beach all night SO as to give immedi-

Sherman has had no critical biog.

generals of his time is yet to be fixed.
That he was a popular leader in the
army, loved by the men and revered by
his colleagues, is we'll known. In fact,
his relations with the troops and the
generals were singularly happy, consid-
ering that he was by nature not genial
man, but confirmed pessimist. At the
outset he predicted long and bloody
war, criticised the administration for
what he called trifing, declared that
volunteers were unfit for war OF in.

Gods Gifts.

You often see beautiful fruit dis

in some shop. and the hungry little
boys look and long for it, but cannot
reach 1t. If you were to tell one of
them who has never seen glass to take
some, he might attempt it; but he finds
something invisible between him and
that fruit. Just so many Christians
can see that Gods gifts are beautiful,
but they a not take, because the self
life comes in between, even though they
cannot see it. What glorious blessings
we should have if we were only willing
to give up the self-life and take what
God has prepared for us-not only
Righteousness, not only peace, but the
joy of the Holy Ghost.-Rev. Andrew

Ideals of the Christian Church.

The church has a heritage of ethical
types so nobly conceived and so gra-
ciously put as to have wonderful pow
er of exciting love and admiration. But
whatever in conduct or character we
admire we strive to become. The ad-
mired becomes the ideal-the goal to-
ward which we press. Now the church
is the custodian of many fragrant and
precious ideals framed to the idea Of
fraternity. There are collective ideals,
such as the TRANSPORTED society desig-
mated as 'the kingdom of heaven"
abstract ideals, such as that of purity
or forgiveness; specific ideals, such as
Pauls portrait of the Christian; con-
crete ideals, such as the transcendent
figure of Jesus. The effect of holding
up such pattern lives, characters, quail
tiles or virtues, as they are embedded
in the tradition of the church, and set
forth so entrancingly in narrative, ex-
ample, parable and saving, is to in
spire for them a love of admiration
that may become the formative force
of a life.-Prof. e. A. Ross.

The most prevailing Affections that
for a century have been engaging the

world are rheumatism, neuralgia, ca

sufferers from these complaints. All
though the most learned experts OF the
medical profession have labored for 4
century to produce a curative, until
quite recently no positive results were
effected. To the Swanson Rheumatic
Cure Co., 167-69 Dearborn street, Chi

produced the new remedy. 1t is being
extensively advertised under the
trade mark of Five Drops. The
trade mark is self-explantory. Five

cures have been marketed with the
promise to take effect in thirty days
or more. Five Drops begins to cure
