st. Petersburg, May 5.-The Russian
losses at the battle of Kulienchang
were 1000 men and forty officers-far

is the official estimate of Maj. Gen.
Kashtalinsky who directly command

Many are inclined to place the Russian
losses even higher,
Gen. Kashtalinsky mentions also

HAVE NO VALUE ON SHIPS.
Lightning Rods DO Not Protect Vessels
from the Electric Fluid.


Several European shipping periodi-
Gals are advocating the use of light
ming rods on ships which convey eXplo-
sive compounds. One of these papers
notes that on a recent voyage the fore
mast of the Umbria was struck by
lightning. which shattered 1t to bits.
The writer of the article stated that
IF the ship had been fitted with light
ming conductors the current would
have been DETECTED from the ship
The value of lightning rods for ships
was investigated by Captain Folger of
Nantucket, Mass. a brother-in-law of
Benjamin Franklin. the inventor of
the types of lightning rods in common
use the world over until a few years
ago After Folger. many other Ameri-
can and British shipmasters studied
the lightning rod question. with the
final result that thousands of expert
ments with masts fitted with lightning
rods adduced the belief that they are
of no value in warding off lightning.

Sensitive to Every Impression.

In the quaint little house where Shakes
peare once lived, writes Peter Ainslee, for
many years no register was kept, and Wis
itors wrote their names upon the walls and
ceilings, until every bit Of space had been
occupied with some handwriting, and it
must not be forgotten that fully 10000 peo-
pie visited there every year. Sir Walter
Scott had written with his diamond ring
his name upon the window pane, and there
were the names of Washington Irving,
John Ruskin, and a host of distinguished
and non-distinguished visitors. Standing
there, | felt as though that little room
was like the human heart, sensible to every
influence, and inviting every conner to
write his name upon its walls. for the
heart is the most impressionable of all
Gods works. 1t gets a part of every pass
ing thought, word. look, picture-every-
thing, and here lies its salvation. if it
catches the good, or its damnation if it
holds the bad. Luther wisely said, i am
more afraid of my own heart than OF the
Pope and all his cardinals" And hence
that imperative demand, Love the Lord
with all thy heart"

IiherfY.

There is no sweeter word in human
speech than liberty. no finer thought In
human mind. no richer gift in human life.
What is freedom? Independence of
law? So many think. But they are mis-
taken. He who imagines freedom con-
sists IN getting rid Of law is totally and IA
tally wrong.
We offer the Ten Commandments to a
man for his moral code. He rejects the
code, saying, Il will be bound by no Ia
bic of laws. | am free" He is not free.
He may as well reject the multiplication
table or the law Of gravitation.
81 will be enslaved by no creed" En-
shaved by a creed? Creeds do not en-
slave; they are declarations of religious
independence, proclamations of emanci-
patton. afirmations of freedom. A creed
is much like a political platform-a state
ment of opinions. No one platform ever
contained all the political opinions of the
men who adopted it. No one creed ever
contained all the religious opinions Of its
adherents. 1t is at hest only an attempt
to state the essential doctrines IN which
its makers agree.
A bird is free IN the air. The air Is its
element. A fish is free IN the water. Wa
ter is its element. Man Is free IN obedi-
ence to the laws Of his being. The Bible
contains these laws. Moral judgment con-
firms them. Conscience approves when we
observe them, accuses US when we violate
them. A man who persists in sin Is as
truly out Of his element as a trout in
the air or a sparrow n water. And the
end is the same when any living creature
gets out of its element, out of harmony
with law-the penalty is death.
But an intervening hand may restore
the fish and the bird to their elements?
Yes. And is there no hand to restore a
lost man to his element? Christ is Gods
answer to that question. Whom the Son
makes free, he is free indeed. "-Philadel-
phia LEDGER.

Pray Not Alone For SELF.

"A gentleman who was travelling in ire
land sat down one day in a cottage to talk
with an cd woman. As they were having
their dish of discourse" there came a clap
of thunder, and the old woman at once
spread out her hands in supplicatiOn, cry
ing:
"God bless and save u.s. And save his
honor, and save the people and all of u.s."
For the space of half an hour the thun-
der was frequent, and each time she
prayed. Then she told the visitor this
story, which has a good moral in its defn-
ing Of the proper spirit which should be-
long to prayer:
.dTbere was a man, and he was working
in a field like, and it came on to thunder.
and he put his head in a hole in the wall
and he said:
GOOD save what's out o mel
"But he ought to nave prayed for the
whole of him, for he no sooner said that
than the wall fell and took his head off.
ct was telled to me that this was a
judgment on the crathur. because it is not
right to pray small, just for yourself. But
you should pray large-to save US all-pray
big and open hearted. But that may be
only a story. SIR

they could. Later, in a measure, they did.
But the places are reserved for those
to whom it IS appointed, for those who
are fitted for it. 1t is the inner prize Of
character, Of holiness, Of love. Of truth.
after the likeness of Jesus Christ which
entities one to stand near Him in spiritual
power and dominion. This is not always
easy. Christ had His struggles, His agony,
HIS cross. The disciple is not above the
Master. 1t may not mean the giving up
OF life. 1t does at times IN mission lands.
But to gain that knowledge of Christ will
cost. Is righteousness gained without ef-
fort? Is forgiveness Of one who has in
Jured as a mere bagatelle? Do all the re-
wards go to the honest and high prinei-
pied in politics? Is truth in business al
ways at a premium? In the presence of
the pleasure and the business of the dav
IS it a simple matter to keep ones head
erect, and work as a son of God, and thus.
acting. know Christ in truth and love?
Does it demand much of us that we shall
give ourselves up for those who NAV scorn
or hate us, so following the example Of
Christ, who gave Himself for US? All, we
know in our daily life hov great the task
is set for US IN the school Of character, that
we may know Christ; that we may be like
Him; that we may grow in the knowledge
OF human truth and love as we not only
see 1t In Him, but know it in ourselves.
1t costs much because it is life; and be-
cause it is life, it pays. For chief in the
joys and glories Of truth, there stands this
excellency Of the knowledge of Christ as
apprehended by man: it is the truth Of life,
the life Of God, the life of man, who is the
child of God.
Read through the history of the past of
those noble ones who nave aided the moral
uplift Of the world through this personal
living knowledge of Christ. They know
truth and love, because they have lived
truth and love. They paid the price. It
might be poverty, persecution, martyrdom;
struggles within and trials without. In
the power of Christ's strengthening them
to do the things which were right. in the
suffering for others that they might be
drawn unto God, thew came into possession
the knowledge of Christ. through exper-
fence. With one accord that noble multi
tude which no man can number, of apos-
ties, prophets, martyrs, known and nm
known, giving thanks unto God for His
goodness, aseribes to this knowledge pre-
eminence and surprising glory above all
others, crying out with Paul, We count all
things but loss for the exeellency of the
knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ministers may have become corrupt;
churches may have been infected with I'M

God, who values the blood of His beloved
Son too highly to let it remain imperative,
has raised His altar in individual hearts.
