looks into the light of the dazzling sun. Others assert that those eagles eymbol- ize the flight of the gospel message over the world. The last interpretation to me Is the most beautiful. May this sermon not only have in it the message of Coda love, but may it have the speed which every gospel message should have-the speed like the lightning, which can bring to every sinful heart not only salvation, but emancipation from sin. May God bless ns today as we use the eagles eyrie for a pulpit.
 And as on eagles wings we soar
 To see the face of Christ once more May heaven come down our souls to meet And glory crown the mercy seat.

Paracamph

is a combination of refined camphor and soothing, healing, antiseptic oils. The process of combining same is the discovery of a prominent Scotch chemist who spent many years in ex- pertinent and close study before per fecting the combination. His object was to combine camphor with certain medicinal oils so as to have safe, effective treatment for all forms of congestion, soreness. swelling and in fammaton oy external application.

chrlst,s Llfe obIect Lesson.

Have you and ever stopped to fully consider how Christ's earthly life was meant to be an object lesson for sinful men, as the Tapping wings of the old ca gles are meant to be visible object lessons to teach the young eagles how to fly? God did not tell us how to be good merely in the abstract, but he tells us to be good as Jesus Christ was good, because Christ was bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh and suffered We suf- fer and was tempted we are tempted. Thus Christs life is an object lesson to us in all our trial. We must do as he would do if he were in our place.

 God promises to impart come even now into your life. The only thing that can blot out that prospect is sin. Dread sin as you would dread the bite of q ser- pent. Theodore l.. Cuyler the grand old man of the Brooklyn pulpit graphically described scene which 1 have carried in my memory for many years. A peas ant living upon the mountain side was on his way home in the evening hour. Tired after hard days work. he turned to look down the valley which as a panorama stretched away at his feet. Suddenly he saw mighty winged eagle begin to life itself from a distant cliff. Higher and higher it rose, gorgeous amid the fires of the setting sun Suddenly it's movements became Iabored. It strug- gled and fought in midair and seemed to be gasping for breath First one wing became helpless, then the second wing. Then the huge bird, like a stone, shot through the air and fell dead almost at the peasants feet. The peasant could not understand the cause until he went to the side of the bird and picked up the still warm corpse. Then to his horror there wriggled from between his fingers tiny serpent that had fasteDed itself under the birds wing and sucked the life out of the monarch of the air" So slh as VenoSnous, clinging serpent, tries 10 fasten itself upon us. The mightier winged we are the more anxious that satanic serpent is for our lfe's blood. But God will today not only save us. as the mother eagle does her young, but He does more.

For a number of years electrical ex- perts, among them notably Professor Crookes and MT. Nfkola5 Tesia3 have been trying to produce for pSactical purposes cold, wireless, electric light, a light that does not consume MT. D. McF. Moore of the United States, it is claimed, has now solved the problem by perfecting his Invention of electric tube lighting, says Harper's Weekly The system is based on the projection of converted current of electricity through length of glass tubing which has been exhausted. The current in flowing through the ultra gaseous mat ter in the tube gives off brilliant phos- phorescent light all along its path. This light is hardly distinguishable from daylight in color and duality.

sHERMAN'S MEN DESTROYING RAILROADS. saw some wagons passing down the road on run, chased by desperate horsemen, who recklessly fired pistol balls in all directions. There were no friendly troops in sight, and Sherman gathered his headquarters clerks and orderlies and was preparing to get them into a convenient corncrib for defense when one of, his regiments which had marched on ahead came back at double quick to rescue the en- dangered chief. The armed escort of the wagons had made a good fight in de- fense of the train thus keeping the as- sailants so deeply engrossed that they overlooked the great prize at hand. It is amusing to think of the doughty war rior running for cover. to a humble corncrib.
 After the night adventure Sherman kept his force well in hand in anticipa- ton of meeting the Confederate infan- try in battle. The army marched for ward toward Meridian on a single road. Meeting no opposition, it reached there the 14th and began work or destruc- ton which continued for five days. Sherman wrote in his official report of the expedition: t'"Ten thousand men worked hard with axes,s crowbars, sledges, claw bars and with fire, and have no hesitation in pronouncing the work we'll done. Meridian, with it's de pots, storehouses, arsenal, hospitals, offices, hotels and cantonments, no lon- ger exists" ,...~ ,, --..

ELEcTRicfTYFoR BURGLARS

Sudden Death Awaits Tntruders mt a
 Bankers House.
 Death by electricity awaits the bur glar who may have the temerity to venture into 4he home of Giovanni F. Morosini, the banker, at Riverdale, N. Y. x
 For sever@l years the homes of the millionaires living between Spuyten Duyyil and Rirerdale have been a magnet for every passing burglar, says the New York World. Tn most of the houses are great treasures. Most of the houses have private watchmen, but in some electricity is relied on to give warning of intruders. Mir. Morosini's is one of the latter. He installed his own electric plant and extended wires to all parts of the grounds surrounding the house, among the trees and along every path. No one had any idea of the ex- tent of his antiburglar apparatus till the police visited bis house recently.
 Late the other night police headquar ters rang up the Kingsbridge station and notified them to send some one at once to the home of MT. Morosini to protect servant. Captain Ward and Detective Buckridge jumped into a sleigh and hurried to the bankers home.
 As the sleigh passed through the gate the gro6nds for 100 feet about suddenly burst into light Adjacent trees glowed with hundred dazzling flashes. The policemen were surprised and for an instant came to a standstill. AS they made their way through the grounds Detective Buckridge noticed small brass cannon stationed at various points com manding the paths. These, the police were told, are loaded with small shot and adjusted so that they can beesdis- charged from the house by pressing an electric button.
 Nearing the house the police found their entire way lighted automatically. AS they moved farther in the grounds lights sprang up everywhere, making the grounds almost as brilliant as day. In response to their ring on the bell young MT. Morosini arose and opened the door. He said he had not telephon- ed for the police. iI .sttl@ sMts31 I
 The visit, however, gave the police an opportunity to make g survey Of the grounds and house. They learned that all the windows on the lower floor are connected with heavily charged. cleo tric wires. When the family retire the switch is turned on, and any one att tempting to open window after that will receive a shock that is likely to kill him. (E<E ~sss Ssg es>.x,a

Sherman s .4D Meridian Raid
[copyright. 1904, By G. L. Kilmer,1


 A HERMAN'ss' midwinter march ]. VsA from Vicksburg to Meridian. A W Miss. in February 1864, called
 forth adverse criticism at the time, and even with the generals ex- plantations made after the war the af- fair was at best only a partial success. Whether the success gained had any military value is an4epen question.
 With a column of 13,0o0 infantry Sherman min person marched from Vicksburg Feb. 8, prepared to cope with the Confederate army of General Leonidas Polk, which was stationed around Meridian in eastern Mississippi. Polk had a force of two infantry di- visions and two of cavalry: These troops had been on the outside Of Vicks- burg at the time of the great surrender Ito Grant in July, 1863, and so long as they remained in the field in war har- mass the Federal conquest of the state ,of Mississippi was not complete, even though Vicksburg had fallen.
 Folks infantry lay in camp at some distance from Merfdian,~an the cav airy, roamed the country westward al- most to the great river. Meridian was connected with Selma, Ala, by the Mobile and Ohio railroad. which also extended westward to Vicksburg. Sherman announced at the. outset that his object in marching to Meridian was to destroy that road. Having learned through a spy who visited Folks camps the exact positions of the enemy, Sherman struck out confidently with his troops on two roads. The Confed- crates also had spies at work, and Shermans movements were watched from day to day and reported to Folks headquarters. Small bodies of Confed- crate cavalry confronted the marching columns and lowered on the Hanks, but gave way before the approach of the enemy without offering battle.
 AS the Federals drew near to Merid- ian, farther and farther from home, the enemy grew bolder, and on the night of Feb. 12 Sherman narrowly escaped cap ture by roaming band of gray troop CTS, who dashed at passing wagon train in the hopes of finding some Yan- kee rations to appease hunger. Sher man stopped at log farmhouse and ordered supper. While tho meal was being prepared he lay down and fell asleep. Before the call to supper he was startled from his dreams by loud hallooing ard pistol shots close to the house. Hurrying outside, the general

 "Tinkers dam" is the limit to which Columbia university students who have organized ansantiswearing society are allowed to indulge themselves without paying a penalty, says the New York Herald, Being wise in their genera ton, the young men have learned that mot worth a. tinker's dam," for in stance, is legitimate expression, though it's origin runs back to the days when travelling tinkers, ignorant of the use of rostn in soldering holes in tin ware, used dam of dough to keep the solder from running.

When Randolph Guggenheimer was president of the board of aldermen he fathered a resolution to make profanity punishable as a misdemeanor, but AL Herman Mccall, the Tammany leader. in an indignant protest succeeded in defeating the resolution
 Another question to be determined is whether the club shall join national organization formed awhile ago by the Rev. Roland D. Sawyer at Hanson. Mass. Some of the more enthusiastic of the members hope that the club may be made.to form the nucleus of another great college fraternity, with which the clubs organized in 4Various New Jersey towns shall be allied. 1 4,3s
 Other members are more deeply in- serested in the effect the antiswearing movement may have on the athletic status of Columbia. They point to the statement of former president of the American Amateur Afhleficaunion that swearing is a considerable hindrance to athletes, causing improper co-ordi- nation of movements, which tends to alter respirations and heart beats and consequently to wind man."
