The preacher spoke of the similarity of
life and used several homely illustrations
Man lives. works, loves and passes away
he said and though apparently that is the
end, yet faith and hope tell us that there
is something more. and that death is just
the beginning of new existence. There is
an end to all things he said, and it is
natural to expect the close of life. The
clergyman in few words told of the ca
reer of Mr.. O'Connor. and the service
closed with a prayer.
The service at the church lasted about
half an hour. and the body was then borne
to the cemetery. where the Masons took
charge of the burial.

STATUS OF COAL DEALERS.
Not Regarded as Contractors Unless
They Make Business of Contracting.

]. Edward Chapman recently wrote to
the Commissioners stating that he has
been informed he is in arrears for license
as contractor" He asked that the mat
ter be held up until an official opinion has
been rendered The writer claimed If he Is
compelled to pay license as contractor all
other coal dealers should do the same.
Mr. H. II. Darneille. the assessor has re-
ported to the Commissioners that the Po-
lice Court has placed a very broad and am
biguous construction upon the term build
ing and other contractors in the act of
July i. 1892, and his office has had consid-
cradle trouble in determining just who
come within the meaning. 1t is necessary
In many cases to have the matter deter
mined by the court
Mr. Darneille does not believe however
that coal dealers are amenable to license
as contractors, unless they make a BUSH
ness of contracting for the sale and deliy-
cry of coal.

made on 1t by the Commissioners. 1t has
long been recognized that some connection

Every Inch a Soldier.

The United States cavalry does not

sess any better than are to be found
among the 200 in the Philadelphia
mounted police force. In fact, every
one of the mounted policemen in this
city is a thoroughbred soldier, and al
though not so thoroughly trained in
cavalry tactics as the regular cavalry
man, can show the same pluck, the
same devotion to preciseness in drill
as the soldier does. That such is the
case. however, has been quite gen.
orally understood. An incident of a
recent drill of the mounted police in
Paramount park is worth telling at this
time. The platoon was under the in
struction of the drillmaster, Lieuten-
ant John Reed, and he was working
hard teaching the men certain man
oeuvres which, in the event of riot,
in the city or vicinity, would prove Of
the greatest value. The drill was a
quick mOvement-a charge by the en-
tire platoon--and on the gallop. It was
during this charge that the horse of
Policeman Samuel Cooper of the 25th
district, stumbled and fell, throwing
it's rider violently to the ground and
bruising him considerably. In its fall,
The horse broke one of the stirrups
clean from the stirrup strap. The

was, as if to see whether he was hurt.

stirrup was broken and torn COM
Cooper, however, was not slow in get
pletely off-he sprang into his saddle
and was after the platoon, where he
took his proper place in the line. The
drill lasted for several minutes, every
man at his post. At its conclusion,
the drillmaster, noticing the rider with
but one stirrup, complimented him for
his pluck, and relieved him until he
could get new stirrup.--Philadelphia

GIANTS OF MODERN TIMES.
What Produces Annual Crop of Cents.
Rush Material?


The first games of the college foot
ball teams are not important and at
the outset of this season their only
unusual interest is due to the curiOs-
ity to see what the coaches will dc
with the new rules.
For several years. however. one
characteristic feature Of the early sea-
son has escaped the attention it de-
serves. Every football university re
ports the arrival OF squads Of huge
recruits as promising material for
the center of the lire.
They come numbering from the pre-
paratOry schools, towering. over six
feet, weighing from 200 to $50 pounds
young giants who make the earth
tremble. The phenomenon suggests.
by way of comparison, the increasing
height of the American maid to meet
the plans and specifications of the co
lossal Gibson girl"
These 1S-year bo:s who overtor
their elders ard spread out in proper
ton are to be computed in yards, not
feet, and the puzzle of it is, where dc
they come from and why do they grow
in such fashion? They are becoming
so numerous as to merit a scientific
inquiry and either the adaptability of
the American race is responding to fill
the demand for football material by
the ton or the game is being devel.
oped to fit the material.
The scientific persons who are ex.
perimenting with a discovery which
stimulates physical growth should
drop their samples of "lecithin" and
hasten to the university football
fields.-Sporting News.

III philosophical anaiysis one may arrive at
some concert of God as ga power not
ourselves that makes for Righteousness"
Through the labyrinth of speculative
thought one may reach the conclusion
that God is the unknown quantity in the
of logical syllogism one may deduce the
idea of God as "an absentee God sitting
b. and watching the universe CO.. But
through Christ alone can one learn to de-
fine God in terms of fatherhood. In Christ
a'ore can one learn that the earth, life is q
narental love-its defects. its catastro2kes,
it's pains, its mystery. it's perpetual sacri-
fee. all energies under the control of in
finite beneficences and compelled to
achieve it's purposes, for He, the best be-
loved of the Father, had path of tears
cross Hc shed light upon path by which
men find their way to the heart Of God.
From Him we learn that God holds this
moor stricken world in the embrace of an
inexhaustible symnathv and that He pur..
poses to crown the fl. ~mentary life of
men with a divine completeness and SYM
metry. Christ is dailv translated into the
terms of our moral life and expressed in
the forms of our human experience. There
is no seminary of theology like that on
Calvary.
t'Let not your. heart be troubled" Your
nina may be, OuC Your HHnd VIII never
bring YOU into touch with God. If we feel
after God we will find Him. IF we think
after God we will lose Him. The rela-
tionship between God and ourselves is
tie of love. and true love is not the off
spring of logic. The link between God
and ourselves is that between father and
child. and the mystery of parentship and
sonship evades speech and is measured
only by experience.
f'Let not your heart he troubled" It
be ofttimes saddened. 1t may be spent
with strain. wearied with toll. broken with
grief-but let it not be palsied with mel
ancholy. Let your life be as the storm
veXed ocean, whose surface the tempest
lashes into fury, while calm eternal and un-
ruffled abides in the unfathomable depths
Let not your heart be troubled" 9th
ers may be the heirs of unrest, who with
their back to the source of light look
out only upon the ever lengthening track
of their own shadow. They travel the
way of life unattended. They carry the
the work of life unaided. They stand on
the brink unfriended. A brood of trou.
bles nests within such hearts.
But for YOU, believing in God as your
Father. and in Christ as your Saviour, life
is as a journey home. A few more days of
mingled cloud and sunshine; few more
wondrous passings Of winter into spring:
a few more hard endeavors in the seed
plot OF mortal soil; few more hot strokes
upon the field of earthly battle-then the
flight OF all shadows, and the blessed vision
Of the face of God.

Macaroni Wheat.

The product Of macaToni wheat has
increased in three years from $4,000
to 100000 bushels. The important
feature of the grain is that it is all
made in the dry regions of the coun-
try where other wheats do not thrive.
Macaroni wheat has a hard kernel
and is difficult to grind, but when
properly handled makes excellent
bread flour. It sells in some foreign
markets for about the price of other
wheat. It's popularity in the arid dis.
tricts will enormously increase the
wheat crop there, and it's introduction
is regarded as a triumph for the de-
partment of agriculture, which brought

DUTY Above Life.

Life is a matter of very small account
to to anyone in comparison with duty doing,
Whatever is worth living for is worth
dying for, if dying be an incident to it's
pursuing. When the Roman General,
Pompey, was warned against the danger
of his returning from :. ovpt to Italy, to
meet new trouble in his own land, his
erioc answer was: ''It is a small matter
too great matter that should take ono
step backward and live" Life is never
well used when it is held dearer than
duty. He who would tell lie in order
to live is willing to pay a great deal
larger price for his life than that life is
worth to himself-or to otllers-H. c.
