careful about this, for If the ring is a
little to one side the kite will fly one

the ring, and you are ready to send your
machine up into the clouds. The old
fashioned twine kite string ought not to
be used for the new box kite. Several

To send up a box kite, stand it on
the ground from 100 to 200 feet away
and walk slowly away with the string

Of its awkward appearance, will soar
gracefully into the air after few
trials, and then you will have such
kitefying as boys Of a previous gen.
Grafton never heard of. Even in a light
wind box kite will go up 1000 feet
and more with ease, and Mr.. Eddy, the
great New Jersey kite expert, has sent
up string Of kites fully 5000 feet.
If you have two or more kites and
want to fly them on the same string,
tandem, as it is called get your first
kite, or leader, up 800 or 400 feet and
then attach the second kite by whip
line at least 75 feet long to the main
kite string. The second kite is allowed
to dangle in the air until the wind
catches it, when it will rise of its own
accord and begin pulling away just as
If it were on an independent string.
Expert kitefiiers say that the manage
ment of a string of kites in the air is a
most fascinating sport, and can readi
ly believe them. In making large box
kites it is necessary to strengthen the
frame by making it in truss form, hav-
ing additional pieces in the center of
the rectangle.
One advantage which the new kites
have over the old ones is that the box
kite will sail serenely aloft in q gale

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur.
pose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
Kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
DER, was created for one purpose and If
not doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain,

a SECULAR OPINION.
The bible from the Standpoint OF N
Man OF Affairs.

We are grateful TO Mr.. Edward Box,
editor OF the Ladies' Home Journal, for
his candid reply to a young man who in
quired: "Why Is IL that 50 many intel
ligent men are disbelievers in the
Dible?" at Is not So" says Mr.. Box;
"it is exactly the contrary; the vital
truths of the Bible are more fully ac-
cepted and more thoroughly believed
by intelligent men at the present time
than at any other period of the worlds
history; when a man becomes too intel
ligent TO believe in the Bible, and too
progressive to be n Christian, his use
fulness as a business man, as a member
of society and as n companion for other
men Is over; every young man should
bear this fact in mind; there are two
sides TO the question; he can make no
greater nor more fatal mistake In life
than to harbor or accept the notion
that lack of faith in the Bible means
progressiveness; on the other hand, IL
means everything that is contrary 10
right, reason and progress" That In n
secular opinion, but nothing coming
from the pulpit or religious press could
be more dogmatic and perpendicular In
its affirmation; but IL Is not too clear
and emphatic, for nothing Is so dog
matte as truth, and Mr.. Box, In the
above lines, has spoken a truth which Is
too often forgotten in the world of to-
day, and not infrequently by faint
hearted Christians themselves. Re
member this. The battle for God and
for truth IL not waning; IL Is waxing
stronger constantly, and for evidence OF
this we do not go to the pulpit, but TO
the secular oracles, which sometimes
are even more infallible in their testi-
mony-more infallible because strictly
impartial.

BATTLE OF MARATHON.
Tremendous Consequences Hinged Upon
tho Victory of tho Greeks.

Tremendous Consequences Hinged Upon
tho victory of tho Greeks.
There has been one day in the history
OF the world fraught with tremendous
consequences TO the whole Of man
kind. There have been days when
one or more countries have had
reason to believe that the crisis
had been reached in their history,
and their welfare hinged on the sue
cess of their encounter with the enemy.
victory that one day might win or lose
for them. These were as naught conn
pared with the tremendous weight that
hung in the balance when the Greeks
met the Persians at Marathon.
In the handful of tiny states that in
habited Greece a new life had arisen
The Greek intellect had developed facul-
ties which indicated that man had adj
vanced another stage toward the high
est ideals. Foremost among these lit
tie nations was Athens, destined TO
reach the highest intellectual glory.
Athens, too contained the germs OF
human freedom; IL was the forerunner
of the democracies OF the world. But
the very existence of Athens and Greece
was threatened by the huge barbaric
empire of Persia. Darius had sent out
his hordes of warriors to add the Gre
clan states to his vast dominions. Face
TO face his numerous forces met the
Athenians on the plain OF Marathon.
Hitherto invinciblc in the field, the Per-
slams looked upon the little army opposed
10 them with contempt. The Greeks
themselves hesitated to hazard battle
with the conquerors OF the world. Their
generals debated the question, and the
decision to eight the Persians was
caused by the eloquence of the immortal
Miltiades. He led his 10000 Greeks
against the Persian hosts and gained a
decisive victory. The glorious day OF
Marathon beat back the advancing tide
OF eastern despotism and barbarism
and saved the freedom and civilization
of the western world.-Cincinnat En-
quirer.

REJOICING IN THE LORD.

Hensons Tor Christians being Al

Personal reasons render il natural
and proper for the Christian to rejoice
The great issue of life has been met
satisfactorily. His face Ii set heaven
wards. He is assured of forgiveness
for sin, of aid in living righteously, of
the fruitfulness of his endeavors, of the
companionship of the purest and no
blest souls, of the fullest appreciation
and the sweetest sympathy, of increas-
ing opportunities and of the ultimate
explanations of the mysteries of life.
He has learned the secrets of happiness
In this world, contentment and fidelity
In service, and also in the world 10 come,
the companionship of the Redeemer and
the redeemed.
More general, although not less pow
erful, reasons also impel him TO rejoice.
The revelations of God In human history
cheer him. He perceives that divine
truth steadily is gaining dominion over
mankind, that righteousness is not n
failing but a conquering force and that
modern civilization, in spite of its many

that of any former period of the worlds
history. He comprehends that the
progress OF humanity towards goodness
Is accelerated with every generation,
that hostility TO Christianity often is
directed far more against its faults and
mistakes than against it's essential prin-
ciples, and that the helpful influence of
even the humblest believers may be inn
measurable in the ultimate scope of its
reach aud power.
True Christian rejoicing, of course,
is permanent mental state rather than
merely temporary mood. That 1t
usually is thoughtful, tranquil and self
controlled rather than boisterous is be-
cause IL is elemental and enduring. IL

dying plant, happiness, which is firmly

CHAPTER XXI.

When George Wentworth received this
message he read Il several times over
before its full meaning dawned upon
him. Then he paced up and down his
room and gave way to his feelings. His
best friends, who Ind been privileged
to hear Georges vocabulary when he
was rather angry, admitted that the
young man had a fluency OF expression
which was very much more terse than
proper. When the real significance OF
the dispatch became apparent TO him.
George outdid himself in this particular
line. Then he realized that, however
consolatory such language is 20 very
angry man, II does little good in any
practical way. He paced silently up and
down the room, wondering what he
could do, and the more he wondered
the less light he saw through the fog.
He put on his hat and went into the
other room.

you know anybody who would lend me

as we are forming our company, and,
OF course, IL the option had not been re-
newed, he would sell to the first man
who put down the money. AS you say,
oil he wants is to sell the mine"
Longworth was busy opening his let
ters and apparently paying very little
attention to what Kenyon said. At
last, however, he spoke:
IF were you. II you care to take my
advice, L would go straight back 20
England. You will do no good here.
/ merely say this to save you any fur

Don't you think IL would be as well
to get a renewal of the option?"
ooh! certainly; but, as / told you

more, that Won Brent will not again re-

Young Mr.. Longworth arched his
eyebrows and gazed at John through

third of the money IL that will do any
good"
How much money does Won Brent
want?"
How should know? To tell you
the truth, Mr.. Kenyon, and truth never
hurts, or oughtn't to, don't at all like
this visit OF yours TO America. You
and Mr.. Wentworth have been good
enough 10 be suspicious about me from
the very first. You have not taken any
pains to conceal II, either OF you. Your
appearance In America at this partic-
ular juncture is nothing more nor less
than an insult TO me. intend to re-
