Isaac X. Funk, D. D., Ill. D., has gotten
out a little book called THE Next Step in
Evolution" 1t is a study Of the probability,
significance and character of a second COM
ing OF Christ. The author believes that

plane of spiritual comprehension. 1t means
a new step in the evolution OF man." Pub

"A Nonsense Anthology" collected by
Carolyn Wells, is about the best antidote
for the megrims that could be imagined,
Nonsense, old and new, grotesque, fantastic,
teasing. semi-idiotic, finds its place in these
jocund pages. No funny detail is ever al
lowed to become too funny, and 1t is in this
judicious economy of extravaganza that her
genius is shown. AS she remarks in Of
her own poems.
Then, fourthly. there are epithets
That suit with any word
AS well as Harvey's Reading Sauce
With fish. or flesh, or bird.
Such epithets, like pepper.
Give zest to what you write;
And II you strew them sparely,
They whet the appetite;
But II you lay them on too thick,
You spoil the matter quite.

The Romance OF My Childhood and
YOUTH by Nine. Edmond Adam, tells OF
one OF the most interesting women whom
French society and public life have known
since the time OF Nine. De Stael-Mme.
Adam. whose pen name, Juliette Lamber, is
also her maiden name. TIL present vol
ume is the first Of a series of autobio-
graphical recollections which she is now
writing. It relates to a childhood and
youth that were remarkably romantic. She
has told the story as only a brilliant French
woman can. II seems safe prophecy to say
that this first volume will find a wide well
come among all who read photographs
and who that is wise does not read them?
II is charmlngly written, in a way that
will appeal strongly to women, old and
young. The story covers the years from
her infancy to her marriage, and success
fully preserves the youthful point of view
and mental attitude. Some of the family
dramas" in which father. mother, grand
parents and friends quarrel for supremacy
in governing the little Juliette. are very
amusing. So also is the description Of her
first railway journey; while the stormy
times when the monarchy fell and the re-
public was established are depicted with
wonderful dash and vigor. Published by

In the event of present damage to

Hodgson, and 1t will avoid much trouble
because the Indicator is always in plain

the driver. And not only can any person
on either side of the street tell at glance
how fast the machine is going; the pres
ence Of the Indicator will disabuse the
owner Of the idea that his machine does
not produce the speed it did month

and agent alike, is one result Of familiar

to look upon fifteen-mile gait as de-

A speed indicator that will tell the gen
eral public as well as the chauffeur just
how fast the automobile is going-and
that will give the information at glance,
no matter how great the speed-has been
invented by Edgar j. Tiodgson, the Min
| neapolis architect, and is about to be
placed on the market thru the Speed In
dicator company Of Newark, N. J. Patents
have been taken out in this and foreign
countries -'-~-
The Hodgson Indicator consists briefly,
OF double faced dial, one side facing
each side of the road. This is fastened
| to the top of a hollow steel rod which is,
| in turn, fastened either to the rear of the
forward axle Of the machine by a sort Of
sprocket attachment. AS the number of
| revolutions increases, the hand. of the
dial moves forward and indicates at all
times the exact speed at which the ma
chine Is travelling. The recording mech
an1sm is dependent on the diameter Of
the auto wheel, and the Indicator must
be adjusted to each make of machine.
| 1T is notorious that chauffeurs are apt
to speed their machines beyond the limit
| allowed by law, and we all realize the
utter futility Of trying to prove the speed
and of their violation of ordinances fix
Ing rates. says Mr.. Hodgson in speaking
OF his invention. 'The chauffeur is not
| altogether to blame as he is provided
his momentary speed, and familiarity
with his machine makes him a very poor
judge" .-..
| Mr.. Hodgson then cites the case of a
friend who, upon being asked how fast
| the machine was running, thought the
speed was about eight miles an hour

DAN PATCH LOOKS GOOD
Horsemen at Cleveland Expect Him to
Break the Record,

"Of course a visit to the Cleveland
track without visit to Dan Patch, 1881,
would be incomplete says the Cleveland
correspondent of the Horse World. IA
little rubbering was done, therefore, to try
to see and discover something that would
indicate that he will be able at least to
clip a second or so off his present record.
To say the least, it seems reasonable to
believe he can do the trick, that is If ap-
pcarances count. His sojourn up in the
northwest seems to have done him lots
of good, for no horse ever looked in more
perfect condition, physically, than does
Dan Patch at the present time. Charlie
Till1nan his caretaker, says that McHenry
worked him much better than 2:20, but
that at the last end of the mile he gave
the great horse his head and 1t was cake
walk for him to go the final fur1ong in Is
seconds"

Wagon Is Gaining In Favor Among Har.

So fast are wagon races gaining in
popularity among harness horsenen that
there are many good judges who believe
that the day is not far off when all races
will be decided to wagon.
No less an individual than G. K. G..
Billings is of the opinion that wagon
races will take the place Of the present
sulky events. Mr.. Billings, who is &C
knowledged to be one Of the best amateur
reinsmen in this country, thinks that the
sudky has little advantage over the wagon
in attaining speed.
~ Some horses have shown ability to go
faster to wagon than to sulky,'' said Mr..
Billings the other day. '"rhe wagon OF
sulky may have advantages so far as
different horses are concerned. How
ever, the wagon is fast gaining in speed
on the sulky. It seems to steady many
horses and there is less friction with II
than with the sulky.

speed. Fitz thinks Jeff ought to do harder
work, but Delaney is boss and what he
says goes.
While George Gardner won a decisive,
victory in his battle with Jack Root last
Saturday at Fort Erie for the light heavy
weight championship, the Lowell man
hardly showed form which entities him
to take on Bob Fitzsimmons. Yet Gard
ner not only wants to meet Fitz, but says
that if he can put on fifteen pounds more
weight he will go after Jeffries and the
heavyweight championship.
There are few followers of the fight
game who would concede Gardner an
even. chance with Fitz. The great old
man Of the ring may have lost some of his
steam in the last few years, but he was
still able to hand out a telling punch
when he met Jeffries year ago. More
over, Fitz IS a master Of ring craft, I'M
| questionably the cleverest of the slug
gers, as opposed to boxers of the Corbett
type. Gardner is not the equal Of Fitz
in cleverness, and while the former
doubtless has the advantage in stamina,
he can punch no harder than Fitz, if as
hard.
Gardner wants to take on the Cornish
| man, however, and Bob says he is ready
for Gardner, and will fight him any time
after the Jeffries- Corbett fight. It is
| probable that a match will be arranged
for some time in September. Fitz, after
reading the published reports of the Card
| ner-Root fight expressed great respect
for Gardeners ability The Lowell man,
| F1tz says, Is speedy man, with a good
punch, and born scrapper, who keeps
after his man all the time. Neverthe-
less, Fitz thinks himself capable of whip
| ping any man in the world barring JEFF
fries, and he is confident that he can beat
Gardner.
In regard to match with Jeffries,
Gardner recently expressed himself as
follows:
IF I can put on fifteen pounds I will
go after Jim Jeffries and the heavy
weight championship. I fought Root at
1853 and at the present time am a little
bit too light to go against such big game
as the heavyweight champion, but I am
going to take a rest now for awhile and
use eNsry effort to pack on weight.
Strange, isn't it, a fighter trying to put
on instead of take of weight? But I am
young yet-only 24-and have plenty of
time to get into the first fight before the
end Of my ring career. --
Gwen If Jeff Is too big for me now there
are other heavyweights who are not and
in case Jim Corbett succeeds in wrestling
the title Of champion of the world from
Jeffries intend to challenge him. think
can beat him, too. At any rate, I am
willing to take a chance"
