CHIN ESE PRAYER.
Inspired by the First Sight of a
 Bicycle.

Inspired by the First Sight of a
 Bicycle.
 A Baptist missionary once sent home an account of prayer offered by Wang Cheng Sui on the occasion of the visit of two Americans who were on a tour around the world on bicy- cles. After the bicyclists had ridden to the mission station Wang prayed. We thank Thee, our Heavenly Fa- ther, that our eyes have this day seen the real pattern of the 'self-going cart of the ancients. What mysterious wis dom is Thine! How willing Thou art to impart knowledge to men! But our sins hinder Thy revelations! How stupid have we become through serY- ing Satan so long! Many years have we lived, aud yet today for the first time we have seen this marvel of Thy skill, which has enabled Thy servants in the West to understand. Forgive our sins. Restore us to Thy favor. Communicate to us, also. Thy mys- teres, and let Us share in the wonder full inventions by which Thou dost make Thy name g.orious amongst those who serve Thee. Let Us be in trusted with Thy secrets, and possess the power of the ancients; so with all our countrymen come to know that we have found the right path. and are servants of the true God" The mis- sionary thinks is very likely that such prayer will provoke a smile, but he bids us believe that Wang was in rel hot earnest, and that he simply felt that he had N+coes-d miracle anu was giving God the glory.

4 prIneesa, post Cards.

The Duchess of York has one of the most interesting collection of post cards on record. It has been contrib uted to by soyereigns of every land where postcards are used, the German relatives of her royal highness sup plying by far the greater number, many of which are very picturesque and artistic. Postcard albums are for the moment busting both stamp and autograph albums from favor, and have the advantage in both respects, hasmuch as they supply the stamp of various nationalities as well as the autograph of some friend or distin- guished individual, and, furthermore. dainty bit of scenery.

We'll Protected Against Cold.
 The dirtiness of the Afghan is proverbial, and it is said that during the last Afghan war Gen. Roberts once ordered one to be washed. Two sol diers stripped the prisoner and scrubbed him for two hours with for midable brushes and soft soap. Then they threw down their brushes in dis gust and went to their captain. What is it, men?" he said. "Well, sir" they replied, i've have washed that Afghan chap for two hourse, but it Is no good. After scrubbing him, sir, for two hours, till our arms ached fit to drop off, blest if we did not come upon another suit of clothes"
 A Natural Railway Tunnel.
 One of the most remarkable tun- nels in the world is the natural rail- way tunnel on the line of the South Atlantic. and Ohio railway, in Scott county, Virginia The railway appar- ently, and in fact. enters a natural cave or grotto and disappears in the heart of the mountain. The entrance to the cavern is about fifty feet square. Inside of 1t the railway runs through series of chambers for about 1,o0O feet, when it emerges from the other side of the mountain. The caye-tun- nel is all in limestone. 1t serves not only as a natural railway tunnel, but also as a channel for a small stream known as Stock creek. Virginia also possessesa natural bridge over one of the afiiuents of the James river, about twenty-five miles nothwest of Lynch burg, which is noted for it's beauty.
 Denmark's Child Criminals.
 Denmark is said to be the only eoun- try in the civilized world where houses of correction for children do not ex- ist. In some Of the provincial towns child criminals are put in peniten- tiary at hard labor In these towns the judge has not even the privilege of mercy without the consent of the attorney general. In Copenhagen, however, the magistrate may dis charge a child with reprimand, should he be so disposed. Criminal records of Denmark show that from 1893 to 1897 there were 1,919 trials against 2,f62 children. Out of this number 2,098 were boys and 64 girls Of these, 1871 boys and 61 girls were discharged with a reprimand while 220 boys were sent to the penitentiary, and girls and boys were sentenced to prison.-New York Herald.

The Crime of 1890.

A dispatch from Johnstown, Penn
sylvania, tells that the Cambria Steel
company has posted notices of "a
general advance of wages of 10 per
cent" 1t adds that ''about $500 men
are affected by the advance" A few
days ago AN announcement was made
that can advance amounting on the
average to about 81 a day, had been
declared in the wages of $4,000 iron
and steel workers." Nearly every dav
for months past there have been no
tices like these in the daily papers of
the country. The Democratic and
Populist papers are afraid to omit
these notices of wage advances. They
know, however, that they are death
TO their parties. They make no COM
ment upon them.
A "famine in the iron Market" is
also announced. This means that
though the iron and steel workers of
the country are buster than they ever
were before, they can not meet the
demand. The output of pig iron and
of the various iron and steel fabrics
has touched the highest figures ever
reached in this or any other country.
The report that there is a s'famine"
in the market. that the demands far
outruns the supply, shows that fur
ttii1er large increase in production Will
have to be made if the orders which
are rushing in are to be filled. In a
general way this is the case with all
the Important industries. Nobody
ever saw before in the United States
such an activity in the principal
branches of trade. Nobody ever be-
fore saw so many wage advances in
the same time as take place every
week these days.
Not only are the ordinary wage
workers benefited by the change
which has come through the advent
of the Republican party to power, but
farmers are also aided. The prices of
all farm products are much ABOVE the
line at which they stood a year ago.
They were higher then than they
were in 1896. Every person who
works with his hands or his head
throughout the United States is
helped by the Republican prosperity
which has come to the country. Men
buy more commodities because they
get more wages now than they did at
the latter part of last year. Some of
them are likely to get still more be-
fore next year ends. More than D.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

For the meeting of the National
Educational Association at Los Ange-
les, Cal, July 11-14, 1899, the Union

The excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by
all who had the pleasure of using 1t
to the convention at Washington in
1898. This year our educational
friends meet in Los Angeles, and
members of the Association and
others from points East should by all
means take the Union Pacific.

Homer Smith, who stood highest
in the class of cadet candidates. is a
farmer boy and is the son of a never
to-be-convinced PopuIist. 1t is the
same old tale-the farmer is poor,
down trodden and utterly helpless. but
when he wants anything he gets it.
Young Smith was sensible enough to
leave the farm a couple of winters
and attend the Logan High school
under the instruction of that splendid
teacher and boy-enthuser, Prof. F. H.
Baker. A boys teacher has much to
do with his future success or failing,
and no young man should be placed
with an instructor who is unable to
show him how to make the best use
of his time, and to deyelope the best
qualities of his manhOOd.-Cawker

For Sale by Jones & Gibson.

States have had their income largely
increased since the days of 1896,
when the Bryanite reign of industrial
terror was under way. Between 3d.
600, 900 and $4,000, 900 more wages is
disbursed to the workers of the coun-
try every day at present than was
given at the time that the repudia-
tion party was making its canvass
three years ago. The country hears
nothing of the ''crime of 1873" these
days. 1t is the crime of 1S99-the i'm
mense advance in wages of the vast
majority of American workers in all
the industries and the general high
tide in the wave of Republican pros
perity that is sweeping over the coun-
Jry-which is disturbing the Demo
cratic party to-day--Glube Democrat.
