The talk IS whether Protestant churches

truth plainly: that until your churches are
as free as are the Roman Catholic cathe-

Archias, the magistrate of Thebes, was
sitting with many mighty men, drinking
wine. A messenger came in, bringing a
letter informing him of a conspiracy to end
his life, and warning him to flee. Archias
took the letter, but, instead of opening 1t,
put it into his pocket, and said to the mes
senger who brought it: Cuisines to-mor-
row!'' The next day he read it. Before he
opened the letter, the Government was
captured. When he read the letter 1t was
too late. To-day 1 put into the hands Of

explain the phenomenon only by the
presence Of another great planet, un-
known to science. somewhere In the

Bicycle.

Some races in which the distance will
be told off in kilOmeters are promised
for the coming season. A kllometer Is
62-1OO of a mile or 1893 % yards. Races
of this kind will give SOME of the foreign
riders a chance to travel their favorite
distances in meeting American riders,
and may do considerable toward making
the metrical system popular. NegOtia-
tions are now under way for 100 kilo-
meter race (62 miles) between Linton
and some other long-distance rider.
An English writer who is an accepted
authority on cycling matters says that all
tourists and ong-distance riders should
carry chocolate with them on account of

The Tours and Runs Committee has be-
gun to map out tours for the week of the
national meet. There will be at least four
runs every day, including one century.
The cycle paths will be used for hourly
trips. The committee now expects to have
one hundred hardy riders on duty to pi-
lot the riders over the roads.

CHAPTER Y


A month passed. Tom was home again:
things were going on much in the usual
groove June smiled at and was kind to
him, yet all the time longed for Christ
Nas, when she would tell him definitely
that she could never be more to him than
| friend, and, after that, there would be
no more talk of love making or marrying
In November, Mrs. Rivers caught Sc
we're cold, which settled on her lungs. She
was obliged to remain in one room, and
suffered from a harassing cough. Tom
came each day to inquire after the in
valid, and to bring her every delicacy that
was procurable, and the choicest flowers.
One day Mrs. Rivers felt so alarmed
about herself that she resolved to speak.
She wrote and fixed a time for Tom to
come to her, and made an excuse to send
June out. And, when he came, she said
all to him that was in her heart-between
tears and sighs and gasping sobs wrung
from her by the thought of her darling's
sufferings and of the futunre which she
would not be there to know or guide.
And Tom, the tears coursing down his
kind face, his manly breast rent with
sighs and groans, promised all and more
than fondest mother could ask, if-if only
June would let him be the shield anc
buckler of her life. All! what more OF
earth did he ask than to do everything
for. be everything to, sacrifice all he had
in the world for her?
my darling" Mrs. Rivers said to June
that night, ''come and sit by me; want
to talk to you And try not to cry and
agitate yourself, because it will make it
so hard for me, and / ought to keep as
uuiet as possible. Tom is so good. so true,
so devoted to you-oh. my darling, think
I could die happy if l knew he was going
to care for your future, that you were go
ing to be his WIFE"
In June's heart for the last month all
thoughts of love, of passion, of romance
have Observation-Disclosures as though
thcy were dead. She has no passion for
Dallas. no repugnance for Tom; nay, 10
him all her feelings are changed; sae
facIs n trust in, an affection for him that
makes him dearer to her than any one
but that adored mother. Why put them
in breath? She feels comparatively
nothing for any other being than her
mother.
Marriage with Tom neither shocks nor
disgusts her; it seems to her that noening
which shall happen to her arter 'na'
mother as gone from her will matter.
And she looks up with the calm. wnlte
face Of a second Iphigenia, and says
quietly: -
4 win marry Tom, If you wish H.
darling mother"

Condition of the LohhH.

What more particularly attracts tn.
attention Of the stranger when visiting
the Capitol is the decayed, worn-out
and unclean appearance of the lobby of
the House, and the shoddy furniture
that is supposed to decorate 1t, says
the Washington Times. The walls are
begrimed, the gliding is turning black,
and the frescoing. which at one time
was a thing of beauty" now falls far
short Of being a Joy forever" The
cheap woodwork Of the furniture, the
shoddy red plush that covers 1t, and
the badly displayed portraits Of some
equally bad statesmen, the emanations
Of inferior artists, create the impress
sion that the lobby is a weak imitation
of hotel corridor. instead Of a loung-
ing place for the lawmakers Of the
nation.

How the Great War Secretary Helped

house where the great war secretary
was born, says the Boston Evening
Transcript. One of the Steubenville
people who knew him in his early man
hood tells of an incident that occurred
while he was practicing law in Pitts
burg. His mother lived in Steuben-
vile. Stanton was accustomed to re-
turn home frequently by boat on the
Ohio. One evening when he came on
board he saw a poor fellow lying on
the forward deck. He investigated, and
learned that the poor fellow had fallen
through g. hatchway and broken his
leg.
The fracture remained unset and I'M
Jared for. The young lawyer went to
the captain and asked what the neg
lect meant. The captain replied that
the man lived In Pittsburg, and could
be attended to when he got home. Max
ing no comment on the inhumanlty,
Stanton went to the boat carpenters
chest and borrowed a saw and ak. He
took a stick of wood, cut such length
IS he wanted, then he whitfield out
set of splints. Then he went to his
stateroom, took a sheet from the bed.
and tore it into bandages. He ordered
three or four of the crew to assist.
The fracture was reduced, the splints
and bandages were applied. Stanton
went to the cookroom and ordered pre-
pared jug Of vinegar and water with
which to steep the swollen parts. Dur
Ing the ninety miles of the trip from
Steubenyille he sat by the injured man
applying the bath. When the boat
reached Pittsburg ne hired hack and
took his patient tn his home.

PHENOMENA OF SLEEP
Experiments Prove that the Nerve
Are Awake.

Are Awake.
Considerable attention has been paid
II late years to the nature Of the proc
ssses which occur In sleep, and some
definite results have been obtained by
modern experimental science. 1t has
ong been known that respiration and
he action of the heart are both mOdi-
led In sleep. Breathing is slower and
| ;hallower and the amount of carbonic
acid eliminated is less than In the wax
ng state. The pulse is also slower.
But Morse and other observers have
recently shown that more profound
changes take place. The character as
well as the depth of respiration Is al
.ered. and the circulation undergoes an
important modification, which changes
The distribution of blood In the body.
The limbs are found to increase in vol
nme, owing to the relaxation Of the
blood vessels in the skin. which per
mits a larger flow Of blood over the
surface of the body. This quite ac-
cords with the common experience Of
lessened power to resist cold during
sleep. The blood is more distributed
in the skin, and therefore, more expos
I'd to chilis. AT the same time this re-
taxation Of the cutaneous vessels
causes a general fall of arterial pres
sure by diminishing the resistance.
The result is a lessened blood flow
through the brain, which shrinks In
volume.
This has been corroborated by the d.
rect observation and measurement of
brains exposed by injuries to the head.
It is found that they always contract
hnd grow pale as sleep goes on, re-
gaining their color and size at the mo-
ment Of awakening. Additional proof
is afforded by MOrso's ingenious bal
ance, which permits a subject to 60 to
sleep when lying horizontally In a per-
head tips up and feet 60 down, indicat-
ing the distribution Of blood in that
direction. Awakening is accompanied
by the reverse.
The same experiments have also
proved that the nerves Of sense are
awake during sleep. They transmit
impulses to the brain and recall 1t to
activity. Thus a sound or a light will
cause the pale, anaemic brain Of the
sleeper to flush. and tips down the
head end Of the balance, and 1t does
this before the sleeper awakens, even
without awakening him If the stimulus
be only slight. These observations
show very prettily how the senses
keep watch for the sleeping brain and
how awkening Is effected. They also
show that sleep does not affect the
whole body.
