MANHOOD RULES.
So Says tbe Rev. J. A. B. Wilson of the Howard Methodist Epis-

''The Force that Moves the World was the subject that the Rev. J. A. B. Wilson chose as the most appropriate for his lecture at the Y. M. c. A. Audi torium yesterday afternoon.
 The speaker advanced long and ex- haustive argument on the subject. He maintained that properly, and not sci entifically speaking, the force of man hood and not the force of mag netism and electricity moves the world. He traced the effect that young man. hood had upon the destiny of the Civil War-spoke of its generals as being young men ranging from the ages of Is to AZ. and he upheld this fact as a po-

 The talk was somewhat informal, be- ing a pleasant address on the life and services of Jesus Christ. The speaker held that the coming of the lowly Nag arene meant much to the world; that it was the beginning of a richer and higher civilization as well as of moral training and religious life such as the world had E<ger seen and can never see again. In conclusion, the speaker urged all present to make the life of Christ their study and guide.

ADMIRAL SICARD-

and after 1874 consecutive hours of
fighting, they were captured.
This afforded splendid opportunity
for Lieut.. Sicard and the other young
Officers of the navy to experience the
shock OF battle and to learn the pos
sibilities Of successful fighting behind
wooden walls, unGer capable command
ers. On the I'd of July bis ship, with
other gunboats and mortar vessels,
joined Admiral Farragut above Vnks-
burg, and on the 18th of the same month
took part in the engagement with the
ram Arkansas, which came out of the
Yazoo river, passed through the fleet,
and took refuge under the batteries of
Nicksburg. July 16, 1862, he was COM
missioned as lieutenaut-command
and transferred to the steam sloop
Ticonderoga, of the South Atlantic
blockading squadron, and took part in
the two attacks on Fort Fisher, De-
cember, 1864, and January, 1865. He
was also engaged in the naval and land
attacks on Fort Fisher of January IS,
1865, and the BON bardment of Fort
Anderson, in February of the same
year. 1t will thus be seen that Ad-
miral Sicard had the advantage of serv-
ice throughout the entire war from
1861 to 1865, and that his career was one
of uninterrupted success and rapid pro-
motion. Since the war he has COM
manded both ships and fleets, and served
in every station where the American
navy has been represented. He has
served in the naval academy at An
napolis as an instructor, and as the
head of the ordnance bureau in Wash
ington. He has been wrecked and cast
ashore on desert island in the ocean
with a boats crew. In every station in
which he has been placed he has shown
himself to be brave and capable Off
GER. As a man he is the soul of honor,
simple, straightforward and generous,
and qualified in every way for the high
position which he now occupies as con-
tidential adviser to the secretary of the
navy, Hon. John d. Long, at Wash
ington,

Great Distinction.

wiser to the Secretary of the Navy
and a Member of the Board
of Strategy.

Like Admiral Sampson, Admiral
Sicard is a son of the Empire state.
There never was a time when so many
of the commanders of our navy hailed
from New York. Its location on the
coast and the great demand for sailors
in our commerce has attracted men to
the sea, and made the state largely one
of seafaring people, as we'll as agricul-
turists and merchants. Admiral Sicard
was born September 30, 1886, and was
appointed to the Naval academy Oc-
tober l, 1851. He was graduated and at
tached to the frigate Potomac, of the
home squadron, in 1855. He was trans
ferred to the frigate Wabash in 1856,
and while on service in this ship he was
promoted to be master. He was COM
missioned lieutenant in 1861, and at
tached to the steam sloop Dakota. He
was transferred in 1862 to the Oneida,
of the West Gulf squadron, and took
part in the mbardment and passage
of Forts Jackson and St. Philip and the
Chalmette batteries. He was also in the
engagement in which the confederate
tiotilla and transports were destroyed,
April IA, 1862. In this battle the enemy
had 10 gunboats, besides two ironclads.
After passing the forts, our feet was at
tackled by these gunboats, and the Va
runa, which was in advance, was sunk,
but not before she had destroyed both
her adversaries, and when the Hartford
reached the scene of the engagement,
all three vessels were lying side by side,
completely wrecked. 1t was in this
battle that Farragut showed his COM
plete self-possession and ability to d.
rect great fleet. The confederate ram
Manassas and II of the gunboats were
destroyed, and the fleet passed up the
river and took possession of the city of
New Orleans. Forts Jackson and ST.

COULD SCARCELY RAISE HIS HAND.
Yet took care of seventy head of stock.
The farmer who found a friend.

Serious results often follow a strain,
especially when it affects the back, and
few people are SO liable to strain as those
who are lifting heavy loads of various
kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength. Fa-
miliarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts SO as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
it is different. He is lifting loads of such
varying weights and under such varying
conditions that he is very liable to lift a
little too much some day, with injurious
results. Many serious affections of the
great organs of the body originate in a
strain. 1t was so IN the case of H. P. W.
Bentley, of Towner, North Dakota, A
strain resulted in serious trouble with the
liver. How he recovered and was enabled
to feed seventy head of stock during the
winter, let him tell himself:
About year ago, sustained an injury
in my back and shoulders by lifting a
heavy weight. After time, liver trouble
came on, which so weakened me that I
could scarcely lift my hand to my head.

nine-tenths of the ailments of living have
their origin in the liver, and in constipation

lively and all will be well. Modern science
