The Danger OF Live Wires.

A remarkable accident is record
ed by the indianapolis News. wlicb
emphasizes the danger of "llye
wires" Three men, living near
Rushville, were on their way to
work early in the morning, and on
the way attempted to cross a barb
ed-wire fence. The first man who
touched the wire was instantly kill
ed, the second was killed in trying
to rescue him, and the third met
with similar fatpin irving to cross
the fence at another point. Two
other men were afterward killed in
the same way. Investigation
showed that the wire fence had
been charged with electricity due
to a stroke of lightning that had
disarranged the machinery of an
electric powerhouse and converted
the fence into an instrument OF
death. Curiousiy enough, these
men witnessed the lightning stroke
by which the insulatnr on the pole
was burned out, but thought moth
ing of it and failed TO report it to
the linemen.
Electric wires are so common
that we have become accustomed
to them, and familiarity with dang
er is apt to begat carelessnes. But
the greater the number of wires,
the more cautious we should be.
Live wires" are far more danger
Gus than rattlesnakes. -Times Dis
patch.
There now! What will the city
readers think Of that admission?
Something worse than rattlesnakes
and right at their own door! Now
city folk may feel. when they leave
their fizzling, frying networks for
a so.journ in the hills, that the
dangers left behind them are great
er than those in front, for, while
now and then a RATHER is found, he
is always seeking seclusion, will
not only "press button" to warn
you, but will vacate his own prem
ises in your favor if you give him
but half a chance.

Nineteenth Anniversary

Sunday was the nineteenth ami
yersary Of the passionate of DR. r Fl
Fleming at Westminster Presbyte-
rian church. In the morning the
Doctor spoke briefly Of the fact
that it was his anniversary, and re-
ferred il the most touching terms
to the tender relations that had ex.
listed between him and his conprc-
cation. He spoke especially Of the
harmony and good feeling that had
always characterized their associa-
ton, and expressed his appreciation
of the kindness and consideration
that had eyer been shown him. He
also spoke of the changes that had
taken place among the members of
his church during the passing
years, Of the baby who had grown
to manhood, of the sad partings
and happy unions, and he particn.
larly called attention to the useful
work which had been accomplished
by the congregation.
Rev DR. Alfred Jones, evangelist
worker for the Virginia Synod, was
present, and delivered sermon in
the morning appropriate to the oc.
casion. In the course OF his re-
marks he told of churches that
needed pastors, and he spoke speci-
ally of the church at Leesville.
At night DR.. Fleming preached
from the same text which ::he chose
for the first sermon that he preach
ed on entering upon his ministry
in Lynchburg. 1t was blessed be
the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us
with all spirital blessings, etc"
Ephesians 1:3.
To the congregation of Westmin-
ster, the anniversary Sunday OF
their pastors ministry among them
was an occasion Of deepest inter.
est. As they looked back over the
vanished years they felt that the
work which he had done among
them had borne blessed fruitfulness
and brought forth great develop
ment along all those lines that lead
to broader nobility and deeper
c notwithstanding News.

A WONDERFUL CALENDAR.
The Four Ages FROM the Theesoph-
Zeal Point Of View.

The Four Ages from the VheesOphs
ieal Point of View.
There Is nothing more wonderful In
the chronological and time keeping line
than the '.rheosephicai Calendar, 40
cording to the Secret Doctrine" From
the theosophical point Of view the four
ages are as follows: Sata yuga golden
age), 1.7280O0 years: tresta yuga (sii-
yer age). 100000 years; dwapara
yuga "copper" age). $4,000 years: kali
yuga Oron age). $4,000 years. The
total of these four ages makes one
maha yuga. or great age. Of 4,820. 900
years. One thousand maha yugas
make one kalpa. or day Of Brahma,
equal to 1000 times 100000 years.
After the expiration Of that unthink.
able period Of time the night Of Brah-
ma, equal In duration to the length Of
the day, comes on, and the earth van
ishes from the plane Of existence.
Three hundred and sixty days and
nights Of Brahma make one year Of
Brahma, and 100 years Of Brahma
make the great kalpa, a period Of 811.-
04O, OO0, 0OO. 900 years, after which the
sun and the entire solar system plunge
into impenetrable night and every
thing or the collective plane" is de.
stroyed. Then comes the period known
as the great night, which Is equal IN
length to the great kalpa. After the
great night has lifted Its sable mantle
4 new solar system Is formed and evo-
luton begins anew.
According to the doctrine Of the the
osophists, we are now living In the
kali yuga, the last of the four ages.
and It began nearly 5000 years ago.
with the death Of Krishna, who died
A102 years before our era began. The
Arst minor cycle of kali yuga ended
In the years 1s97-9s, but we still have
something like $4,000 before we ar
rive at the end of the present age.
Kali yuga Is also known to the the.
osophists as the black age. 1t IL an
age of spiritual darkness. In which the
human race pays for the misdeeds
which are recorded against them In the
previous ages.
