PRAYER.

Teach me, God, to walk gently
amid all the cares and distractions
that enter my daily life. Let me
be filled with the spirit of calm that
will quiet the pain of disappointment
and the fever of desire. Let me be-
lieve that Thou, who has given to
Thy children their longing for love
and life and beauty, wilt not leave
them all unsatisfied in their loneli-
ness. Thy purposes are greater than
our purposes, even as Thou art
strength when we know in ourselves
only weakness. Then let me trust
myself with serenity to the leadings
of that purpose which I cannot under
stand and. while / wait and work and
suffer in my mortal blindness, may
nv heart so go out in love and SYM
pathy to those who also wait aud
work around me, though l may help
in some real though small measure
to bring the day of Thy kingdom on
earth. Amen.

DASHED TO GROUND
IN WRIGHT A|RSH|P
Lieutenant Selfridge, U. S. A.,
Dies From Injuries.
MACHINE IS A TOTAL WRECK
Army Officer WAS d Passenger With
the Aeroplane Inventor, Whose
Leg Was Broken as They Plunged
Seventy-five Feet.

Washington, D. C.-Lieutenant
Thomas E. Selfridge, of the Fifth Ar
tillery, a member of the aeronautical
board of the army, was fatally in
jured, and Orville Wright, holder of
the worlds record as an aeroplanist,
was seriously hurt, when the latter's
new aeroplane fell through seventy
five feet of space and crashed down
upon the Fort Myer parade ground, a
total wreck. Both Mr.. Wright and
Lieutenant Selfridge were pinned be-
meath the wreckage and it vas with
difficulty that they were extricated
by the signal corps men and other
spectators, who rushed to their aid.
Both of the injured men were hur-
ried to the nearest hospital, where
Lieutenant Selfridge died at $40
o'clock p. M, without having re-
gained consciousness, having sus-
tanned internal injuries and a frac-
ture of the skull. Mr.. Wright is suf-
fering from a broken thigh, a badly
wrenched arm and some bad scalp
wounds, but is expected to recover
While the machine was encircling
the drill grounds a propeller blade
snapped Off, and, hitting some other
part of the intricate mechanism,
caused it to overtura in the air and
fall to the ground, enveloping the
two occupants in the debris.
The spectators ran across the field
to where the aeroplane had fallen
and assisted in lifting Mr.. Wright
and Lieutenant Selfridge from under
the tangled mass of machinery, rods,
wires and shreds of muslin. Mr..
Wright was conscious and said: "Oh,
hurry and lift the motor" Lieuten-
ant Selfridge was unconscious and
had apparently struck the ground
with great force. His head was COW
cred with blood and he was choking
when the soldiers extricated him
from under the machine.
Mr.. Wright regained consciousness
at the hospital and dictated a cable
dispatch to his brother at LIE Mans,
France, and requested that the same
message be sent to his sister and
father at Dayton, Ohio, assuring them
that he was all right.
This marks the first death in the
development of the heavier than air
flying machine. Selfridge had been
detailed by the Government to OBJ
serve the experiments. The machine
that was wrecked was the same in
which Wright broke all worlds rec
ords for continued flights last week.
A propeller snapped when the aero,
plane was se~venty-five feet in the air.
The craft turned completely over,
and the second propeller, revolving at
terrific speed, headed the aeroplane
for the ground. The craft struck
with such force that its frames were
shattered to pieces, and the two men
were caught under the battered
motor.

Drinks one.seyenth of His Income.


A German physician, DR.. Hirsch-
field, has been computing the guam
tity of alcoholic drink consumed in
Berlin. Berlin possessed three years
ago 1882 drinking shops-one for
610 inhabitants-in addition to sol
where wine only is sold. During the
period the Berliners consumed 49,.
939,532 liters of beer, 24,704,525 Ii.
tiers of brandy and 19,956,062 liters
of wine. This works out at an av.
erage annual consumption a head Of
the population of 1854 liters of al.
coholic drink, at a cost of 100 marks,
a mark being one shilling. AS the
average income of the Berliners, in.
Guiding women and children, is
about $50 marks, it may be said that
the Berliner spends a seventh of his
income in intoxicating drinks.-Lon.

Emotion is the Bud.

Emotion has no value in the Chris
tian system save as it stands con-
nected with right conduct as the cause
of it. Emotion is the bud, not the
flower, and never is it of value until
it expands into a flower. Every re-
ligious sentiment, every act of devo-
tion which does not produce a CORE
spending elevation of life, is worse
than useless; it is absolutely per-
nicious, because it ministers to self
deception and tends to lower the line
of personal morals.-W. H. H.. MUIR
