awful tide of Iniquity, for the Church, which
should be a mighty life saving station, has lost
liz power, to large extent, and IS drifting
into worldliness and formality. Ministers are
building institutional churches, celebrating on
their music in order to draw the people; yet
the results are not satisfactory, and the tide of
iniquty surges on and people stumble over
the church into hell.
''Many church members run to theatres,
play cards. dance, drink wine, follow the
fashions of the world, cheat and lie. The
church holds fairs, festivals, bazaars, private
theatricals, anything to get money. lmag,

speed and Endurance of Dogs.

Dogs and wild animals of the same family are remarkable for their quick ness and staying powers in running, as everyone knows. A fox terrier, for example, will follow his masters car- riage for hours with no signs of fa- tigue. Wolves will travel GO miles in q night. Nansen saw Arctic foxes on the ice nearly 800 miles from land, and found their tracks in the snow on the parallel of S5 degrees north. Eski- mo dogs can travel 45 miles in five hours, according to Hayes, who re- cites that he once drove his dog team seven miles in half an hour. A Siberian dog, on good ice, will draw about 80 pounds; our ordinary dogs, at full speed, run at the rate of from 33 to 4o feet per second; settlers and pointers, about 1872 to 21 7-1o miles per hour, and they can maintain this speed for two or even three hours. Fox hounds are very fast, and in a recent trial one of them beat thoroughbred horse, covering miles in 61s minutes. Grey hounds can run at the rate of 59 to 75 feet per second. Horses cannot ex- ceed 63 feet per second.-N. I. Sun.

 At first it was believed that Beeler was the victim of cattle rustlers, against whom he had made long ana bitter warfare, but later it developeG that the assassins were friends of a man whom Beeler had killed, who had sworn to avenge his killing.
 The friends of both dead men are up in arms and more fighting is likely to follow. A big party of officers and Beeler men are ill pursuit of the assas- sins

A Lesson from America.

During the Paris exposition an American firm obtained permission to drive an artesian we'll in the Bois de Vincennes near Paris. The city of Paris has two artesian wells which re- quired respectively nine and six years to be driven. The American well was sunk to a nearly equal depth, 1895 feet, last summer in two months. The French were sur prised by the rapidity of the work, as we'll as by the homeliness and sim plicity of the apparatus. The Amer ican company has since offered to do- nate the well to Paris as an addition to it's water supply, and some of the French scientific journals express the hope that ''the practical lesson which the new world thus offers gratuitous- ly will not be without it's fruit.

COULD TAKE NO FOOD.
The x-Rays Discovered a Penny Which
 the Baby Swallowed.

New York. April 16.-Susan O'Hara. two years old, daughter of MT and Mrs William O'Hara of Brooklyn, became suddenly i'll week ago while playing about the house. She could take no kind of food, and was seized with ,spasms.
 Doctors who were called said he baby was slowly dying. The mother finally took the little one to a German hospital in Williamsburg. There the surgeons decided to use the X-rays. By this means they discovered that the baby had swallowed a penny and was starving because the coin prevented her from taking. food. It was in the oesophagus, just above the breast bone. To remove the coin the baby was chlo- reformed and a small platinum wire was put down her throat. The X-ray showed the coin and every movement of the wire as it was forced toward it. until at length the penny was dis lodged and removed.
 The baby was revived and at its home last night showed marked im- provement, having already taken some solid food. 4 day longer. the hospital doctors said, and she would have died.
