Y., who has been making daily ascensions at the fair grounds in hot air balloon, had just entered the car and was about to give the order to cast of when the balloon broke loose and sailed upward, with the anchor trailing.
 Before the bystanders could scatter the anchor fluke caught in the dress of the woman. and she was whipped up into the air screaming The weight on the anchor rope caused the balloon to tip over, and Miss Daley, looking out of the car to ascertain the cause of the trouble, caught sight of her involun- tary fellow yoyager swinging far be- low at the end of the rope and at once pulled the safety cord. The balloon, which by that time had reached an al- titude of 800 feet, quickly descended and reached ground quarter of a mile from the point of ascension.
 The woman struck the ground heavi- ly and when picked up was found to be unconscious and to have sustained fractures of the shoulder. ankle and several fingers. All that could be learned about her was that she was from Brooklyn and had been summer. ing at Walker Valley. Ulster county.

PREVAILING PRAYER.
BY REv TmEoDoRE L. CuYLER. D. d.

There are several other good women named in Bible
biographies to whom we owe our gratitude besides
Hannah, the model mother Ruth the model daughter
and Dorcas, who sanctifed the needle One of these
that SyrO- Phenican woman who came to Jesus
and besought him to cast the evil spirit her
afflicted daughter. For time the Master seemed to
hold her it at arms length in order to try
the mette of her faith. Like Bartimaus, she only
cries the approximately for mercy; and like
him, she carries the day. Go thy way" Saith the
compassionate Jesus; oh woman, great is thy faith
be it unto thee thou wilt" And so he granted
to great faith what he might have denied to a little
faith.
Prayer is not a teasing and a coaxing of an I'M
willing God it is the ferven plea of weakness and of
want into the open of One who knows just what
is best for One OF the things that is best for
to have is complete trust in God. He does not
cheaper his merces; does he toss them to us as
foolish father filings money to spendthrift
We must into the right attitude and stay there
An honest trustful faith-a faith that works while
it prays, faith that is not baked by discourage
ments-dOes not plead without securing some real
and precious blessings. Such faith creates condi
