SMALL, BUT PATRIOTIC.

That is a rather surprising state of
things which has been revealed at the
recruiting office at Atlanta, Georgia.
Out of more than four hundred appli-
cations for enlistment at Fort McPher-
son, near Atlanta, only forty-two We're
accepted, although seventy-five per
cent. of those applying had served dur
ing the Spanish war. When the call
was made for volunteers from each
state there was a rush on the part of
officers to have the regiments from their
State first in the field, and this led to
the accepting of men physically below
the standard required by the United
States officers. The most common de-
feet in the would-be Georgia soldiers is
under-weight. The government requires
that soldier must not weigh less than
two pounds for every inch of his height.
The recruiting officers believe that the
warmth of the weather has considerable
to do with the lack of sufficient weight
In applicants. 1t is undeniable that
some persons lose weight in the sum-
mer season, and for this reason the War
department has allowed the recruiting
ofilcers latitude Of ten pounds in max
ing enlistments. Were it not for this
latitude about half of the forty-two
men accepted would have been rejected.
Some small southern men are all
right. For instance, little old fighting

subjects to use a quieter style. If Sir
Charles Tupper's words mean anything
he desires the presentation of an ulti-
matum, which could only mean war. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, though calmer was
tolerably emphatic. AS things are going
now, we are drifting to a very serious
diplomatic collision with the United
States, which Great Britain is earnestly
anxious to avoid,
1t would be very unfortunate if we
should have trouble now with our best
and most hearty friend. Probably the
smoothers on both sides will succeed in
avoiding anything serious.

1t may be cleansed by the application

latter must be washed away with hot

Strange things happen in Chicago. A
woman living in that distracting place
went down town the other day on a
shopping tour and, upon making the
first purchase, when the clerk asked
where the goods were to be sent found
that she could remember neither her
name nor her address. After trying, for
half an hour or more to fog her men,
ory into every day condition, she gave
the matter up as bad job and very SEN
sibly handed herself over to the Cottage
Grove avenue police. For twelve hours
all her own efforts and those of the au
thorties were equally vain, Then she
calmly went to sleep, and, after good
nights rest, awoke to the ordinary real
ization of her identity. Mentally and
physically she is, and always has been,
In sound condition.

Evangelist Sanford, who conceived
the idea Of erecting temple in Maine
to accommodate at least 10000 people,
recently announced that all work on the
building would cease. because he had
assurances that God would finish it
without the aid of man. The evangel-
lists faith, however, was not quite suf-
ficient; at any rae, the structure did not
grow, and now he politely informs his
people that God has spoken and advised
that the work be pushed with human
hands.

Chicago with a plan 10 raise $3.50, 900
for the erection Of the Illinois College
of Languages OF the American Univers-
ity of Washington. The scope of the

have several of the great states aid
in the work by building state memorial
buildings. Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvan-
ia, New York, Iowa, Massachusetts.
Indiana and California have each been
invited to do so. and West Virginia,
although not asked to participate, al
ready raised $4,000 toward the cree
ton of state building.
Many of the leading citizens OF the
several states are mentioned as trus-

But he earnestly urged upon all the
young who used their bicycles on Sun
day not to be tempted to forget or over
look the essential meaning and object
of the holy day. 1t was the duty OF
every sincere Christian to attend holy
worship and not to neglect the assem-
bling of ourselves together as the man
ner of some is. 1t was also most de-
sirable and blessed thing for every one
in whose power it lay to take some di-
rect part in trying to advance the
kingdom of Christ in the world by
teaching the young, by helping in the
music of the church or by furtherlng to
the best of his power, directly and indl-
rectly, the highest objects of its sacred
ministrations And this lesson, for the
sake of their own highest welfare, he
trusted that the young would ever bear
in mind"

The devout Friars found difficulty in

However, he promised to give me the
gist of his forthcoming remarks to the
cyclists if he could get the time. He
did so. and here they are, in the third
person, just as he wrote them:
He would speak to them on the
cody, righteous and sober life To at
tain to that life was the most splendid
OF all successes; far more splendid than
to reach the position Of a millionaire or
of an Emperor. 1t was success which
made man little lower than the
angels, crowned with glory and honor,
and it conferred a spiritual happiness
such as the world can neither give nor
take away. And this success was abso-
lutely open to all mankind, to the
humblest and lowest who is born into
the world no less than to the poet, the
philosopher or the prince. The godly
life is the life spent in union with God
our Father through faith in his Son,
our Redeemer. and by the aiG Of His
Holy Spirit, who has been shed lCrth
in our hearts to be not only with us but
within us, and who 'yearns over us even
unto jealousy.
The righteous life is the life lived
in perfect obedience to the law of love
to our neighbor-to those command
ments of kindness, of purity of honesty
of truthfulness and of contentment
which are contained in the second table
of the Decalogue.
The sober life is the life which has
attained to perfect mastery over all
the lower impulses of our nature-the
lust of flesh, the lust of the eye, and
the pride of life-the life OF self-rever-
ence, self-knowledge, self-control,
which are only attainable by watch
fulness, by prayer, and by the faithful
use of the means of grace set forth to us
in Gods word and sacrements.
SUNDAY CYCLING.
"One of these means of grace was the
setting apart of one day in the seven
for special worship and service of God.
Even the Jewish Sabbath was intended
for means of blessing, not for dull,
mechanical servitude. Our Lord, who
constantly set aside the mechanical
rules which the PhariseeS had invented
taught us that the Sabbath was made
for man, not man for the Sabbath
The Christian Sunday was equally
meant to be day of blessing and
brightness. No rule prevented on the
Sunday the moderate enjoyment of
healthy exercise-least of all when the

Thomas Beckett, bicyclists will gather
from far and near to participate
in Sunday church parade and to
hear an address from the Dean of
Canterbury, which shall put the finish
ing touches ON what might be called
the "canonization" OF the bicycle.
Bicyclists never had much doubt
from the first that the Sabbath was
made for them to a certain extent, but
the church was not at all inclined to
favor that idea, and combatted it vigor
ously, then became more lenient, and is
now apparently on the point Of surren-
dering altogether, and acknowledging
all the Sunday rights that the wheel
claims. Whether this extraordinary at
titude is due to the insistent independ-
ence of the wheel. or to the moderni-
cation of the clergy doesn't concern the
facts.
DEAN FARRAR'S INVITATION.
The increasing reorganization by the
church in conservative England of the
entire propriety Of Sunday bicycling
has been noteworthy for some time, but
that interesting tendency never re-
ceived such push forward as when,
a few days ago, the Very Reverend
Frederic William Farrar, Dean of Can
terbury, one of the most distinguished
officers in the Established Church of
England, gave to the cyclists permits
sion to parade at Canterbury Cathe-
dral on the Sunday of July 10, and in
vited them to hear an address apropos
of the occasion.
Such an invitation from so high a
source can be taken as establishing
finally the status of the Sunday bicycle,
SO far as England is concerned. and
to, it can be accorded due weight in
America, where the distinguished Dean
is almost as well known as here He
was for some years Canon and Arch
deacon of Westminster. and chaplain
OF the Queen. and the author OF many
books, of which the most famous, per-
haps, is his Life of Christ" OF all
the English clergymen he is the best
known in the United States.
WHAT HE WILL SAY TO THE
CYCLISTS.
In view of this significance of his adj
dress to the cyclists, l asked the Very
