Mr.Chas.Guthrie, of Guthrie and Company, bankers, Idol Lane; Mr.Lewis Weil), a watch-maker, of Hatton Garden, and Mr.Augustus Cohen, a diamond merchant, of Holborn, Counsel for the Castles said to a reporter of the Associated Press at the conclusion of the hearing that Mrs.Castle was completely prostrated.On leaving the court-room she drove with her husband to some friends, in order to see her son, who is being cared for by them.The meeting between Mrs.Castle and her son is described as being most affecting.She ts now under a doctor\u2019s care.Oontinuing, counsel sald that the English lawyers do not believe it to be a case of kleptomania, but added, \u201cbut I am convinced that the woman is not in her right mind.\u201d Asked how he accounted for the fact that Mr.Castle did not know his wife had stolen the goods in her Possession, eounsel said that many of the articles in the police inventory were legitimate purchases, and that it will be proved that Mr.Castie was not aware that the others were in her possession, \"HARCOURT MAY RETIRE, fle Nay Fellow the Example of lord Rosebery, London Oct, 13.\u2014The St.James\u2019 Gazette says Sir William Vernon Har- court has addressed a letter to the Liberal whips resigning the leadership of the Liberal party in the House of Commons.He also intimates a desire on his part to retire from Parliament altogether.Se William Vernon Harcourt, the Bt.Jemes' Gazette says, has also written a letter to Mr.Gladstone, in which he #ays he is about to withdraw from Parliament, regarding such action as the best course be au pursue in order to show that ea action mbition has guided big The announcement of Sir Williams Yoluatary retirement may have the ef- fect to rally to his side .oany politicians, who have hitherto refrained trom taking part in the agitation in regard to the leadership of the Liber- ai party in succession to Lord Rues bery.London, Oct.13.\u2014Mr.Henry La- bouchere, in a long article in Truth on the «succession to the Liberal leadership, disclaims any personal p:thy to Lord Rosehery, the retiring leader, but expresses the beiief that | democracy i8 cribbed and contined by having as its head a great nobleman without definite opinions and without a grim determination to trample vn- der foot everything standing in the way of democracy.\u2018\u2018The future of democracy,\u2019 writes Mr.Labouchere, \u2018is involved in the question of the leadership.There ls no room for a compromise.Kir Wil liam Vernon Harcourt must be the succemsol.Mr.Asquith's selection by Lord Rosebery has too much of the wanming-pan about it.\u201d\u2019 THE U.S.CAMPAIGN.A Big Republican Demoustration at Fuffnlo\u2014Notes of the Campaign Buffalo, N.Y., Oct.13.\u2014Twn hundred thousand citizens of this city tonight witnessed one of the greatest, if not the greatest, political demonstration that has ever taken place in western New York.The Republican Clubs of Buffalo and Erie County joined tog-ther in a street parade and demonstration on the occasion of the visit of Hon.Thomas B.Reed and for Governor of this state.Fully ten thousand uniformed men were in line.Main Street for miles was one great blaze of light, fireworks being set oft from every window, while gun equads etationed at almost every corner fairly shook the earth with their cannonading.The great majority of the paraders were uniformed in gold hats and capes of gold cloth.The enthusiasm was tremendous throughout.All traffic was suspended on the principal streets from eight until afte: eleven o\u2019clock.Chicago, Oct, 18.\u2014Col.R.G.In- gemsoll spoke to 12,000 workmen in the stock yards district, last nigh, in favor of sound money.Between 6,000 and 7,000 people heard the Hon.Bourke Cockran at the Coliseum last night, when he 1eplied to the speech recently delivered by Governor Altgeld, Canajoharie, NN.J., Oct.13.\u2014\u2014The Hay Trade Journal recently seat enquiries to farmers in tne hay producing states asking their views on the political situation, and the replies the Jcurnal has so far receised show 88 per cent.of the farmers to be in favor of the election of McKinley ito the Prestdency.Washington, Oct, 13.\u2014A statement prepared by the Bureau of Mint shows that during the month o! September, 1896, the mints of the United States coined from silver bullion on hand, purchased under the act of July 14th, 1890, 2,700,100 standard silver dollars, containing 2,088,358 ounces of pure silver, \u2018the cost of which was $1,862,671, giving a seignorage of profit of $837,428 to the Government, which sum has been deposited in the Treasury.New York, Oct.18.\u2014When E.R Chapman, of Moore & Schley, learned through Senator Brice yesterday some facts abcut the political situation in the Middle Western States he said he would bet $500,000, or any part of tt, that thd Democrats would not carry a State east of the Mississippi River ar north of the Ohio.Mr, Chapman has also a similar amount tc bet that McKinley will carry Kentucky.The report communicated to Mr.Chapman was made by one of the leading officials of the United States Senate, whose ability for accurately sizing up political sentiment is valued by not only the Democratic but the Republican members of the Sanate, TYNAN WILL GO FREE.Failure of the Extradition Proceedings \u2014Were Never Intended (0 Succeed.Paris, Oct.13.-The Minister of Justice, M.Darlan, at a cabinet council to-day, submitted reasons for refusing the extradition of P.J.Tynan, the alleged Irish-American dynaniiter, now in custody at Boulogne-Sur-Mer, He said that the evidence to show that Tynan is the so-called \u2018\u2018Number One\u2019\u2019 does not prove him to be that individual, and even were it so, there is not sufficient proof that Tynan was one of the parties cornected with the Phoenix Park murders, Thirdly, said M.Darlan, the case is covered by the ten vears\u2019 limit.Consequently, Tynan will be released as soon as trese decisions are submitted to the officials at the British Embassy.London, Oct.13.\u2014The failure of the extradition proceedings in the case of Tynan (No.1) had been predicted in these despatches, and the reason may as well now be divulged.The fact Is that the authorities here never intended that Tynan shculd set foot In England.His freedom was one of the prices paid for the discovery of the plot.Ivory is likely to be made the scapegoat of the whole affair, New York, Oct.13.\u2014Mrs, P.I.P.Tynan received a cablegram from her husband this afternoon, which said.Am released.Hope to greet you in New York next week.\u201d RAILWAY CONTRACT LET.The Mani(onlin and North Shore Koa of Foriy-Two Miles.Niagara Falls, N.Y., Oct.13.\u2014The contract for the construction of tha Manitoulin and North Shore was let yesterday.It covers the entire work of construction and equipment of 42 miles of standard gauge railway from Little Current, Ontario, to 4 junction with the Canadian Pacific.The successful tender on which the contract was awarded was submitted by W.B.Strang, Jr., and Company, of New York, and Philadelphia.Salisbury aud Fauncefote Confer.London, Oct.13.\u2014The Marquis of Salisbury and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador at Washington, had a long conference this afternoon, anti- !

No one has su far been able to estimate the damage wrought by the wind and the waves, not to say how far- reaching was the fury of the gale.But | as far as the eye can see, from any point along the shores of Long Island, along the Jersey coast, in over , the low lands, and in some instances over the highlands, wherever one may turn, there are the evidences that a burricane has been passing through this section of the country.° | For two days and a right the gale blew with ever-increasing fury, and to-day there was a steady downpour )f rain to complete the miserable devastation already well dcne.Thou- leands have spent the day at the \u2018 peaches, to view the work of destruction and to look upon the piles of twisted rafters.Handsome lawns, that have beautified the grounds of the hctels at the beaches, have been torn up like ploughed fields, and yesterday when the storm was at its height, the huge structures themselves in man) places were threatened by the waves.At Brighton Beach and at Manhattan, at Edgemere, at Far Rockaway and at 4 dozen other points along the sea line the fast incoming waters swept under the very foundations of the buildings and more than once they shook and shivered under the terrific pounding of the seas.One hotel did go down, unable to stand tbe forces turned against it.That was the Brunswick, at Sea Island City, the nest structure of its kind in that section.Nor was it along the coast alone that the fury of the gale manifested itself.Jersey City was in places practically inundated, Bcats were a valuable acquisition to-day, both for purposes of removal and of locomotion.The railroads in that section of New Jersey which at times such as these are unfortunate enough to be located close to the shore were suf- terers to the extent of suspending business for a period, and many of the smaller towns in the state had to be content with a lonesome existence which even yet in some instances continues, for all trafic in and out of those places were stopped.The wires to Sandy Hook were down for many hours, and when communication was again established it was only to learn that never tefore had such a burricane been experienced.But Coney Island was the greatest sufferer, One may not now stroll through the well-remembered walks tronting the beach, but he may climb wearily over the masses of ruins that mark the old paths, or stand afar and view the wrecked pavilions and water chutes and 1ce slides.The light and airy beer gardens that stood upon the shore and the bathing houses and floats, from the farthermost corner of Manhattan to way beyond the end of a long line of amusement places to native and visitor alike one and all have fallen, \u2019 Seidl's concert hall at Brighton js among the latter.The ruins of 1wW9 walls are all that marked the huge structure which yesterday crashed in under the terrific force of water Buried against it.It 1s believed that several hundred thousand dollars would not cover \u2018the value of the places thus destroyed.Yesterday the tide was higher than anybody had ever before remembered it to be, but early this morning long before sunrise, it has again reached a maximum still higher than at the previous flood.It only needed this to complete the devastation along the beaches.The sea simply swept over the adjoining districts, hundreds of {ret beyond what had long ago been fixed as the ling of safety.As a result dwellings were flooded, and 10 day some of them are not yet safe from collapse.If the authorities at W shington would make a survey of the coast from Sandy Hook to Cape May as it is at present, they would find many errors fn the carefully marked maps they now possess.Not only have new bays heen formed.hui the old shoals and bars in many places have been pounded away, At Anclesea, one of the places not heard from up to a late hour last night, a great deal of damage w= as done.Several buildings, including carou-als and dancing pavilions, were wrecked.Several adjoining villages -u\u2018fered greatly from the ravages of the storm, among them being Holly Lieach.At this place, cottages be lcnzing to John I.Burke, of Philadelphia, and Frank E.Smith, Mayor of Holly Beach Borough, were laid in ruing.The steamship Spartan, of the Philadelphia and Boston Steamship Company, went ashore on e outer bar, near Hereford Inlet, Anglesea.This, however, was one of the ve.y few casualties to shipping reported.A number ol steamers, which had been out in the gale, arrived to-day.The old Dominion Liner Guyandotte, which reached this port this morning trom Norfolk, was the first vessel to arrive from a southern port since Saturday.Like the other vessels that rame in afterwards, she had a report to make of the terrible storm' encoun- \u2018tered on the passage.The Cevis, from Liverpool, ran into the northeast gale on October 11 and at midnight the blow developed into a hurricane, It was not until the following day that the steamship Croft, trom Dundee, ericountered the storm, and the others that paseed in through tm | Quarantine had the same story to tell, varying the date of the first storm signs according to the course the vessel Lad aeiled.But in one particular all agreed, that while sufficient warning Of the atorm\u2019s approach had been given, it was a hurricane that probably carried with it as much danger to the ships at sea as to the dwellings along the coast.VICTIMS OF THE ELEMENTS.Philadelphia, Pa., Oct.13.\u2014The British steamer Evelyn, Captain Hor- wer, trom Huelva, Spain, anchored in the Delaware River this evening, hav.Ing on board the almost lifeless bod- les of nine seamen, the crew of the Norwegian bark Lovise, who were picked up at sea after being adrift without {food or water for nine days.Their condition when rescued was a most pitiahle one.And so faint had they become that it was necessary to tie lines to them to haul them ou board the steamship.The particulars of the terrible sut tering of the men are meagre, as they are still too weak to go into details.The Lovise, in command of Captain Anderson, left Mobile August 17 for Rosacaro with a full cargo of lum ber.She experienced hurricanes, and was badly disabled.Her condition became so bad that all hands had to leave her in two small boats, and until the Evelyn hove in sight they had not seen a vessel for nine days.They could not have lasted another night.Under treatment received since on board the Evelyn the unfortunate men are recovering, but their condition is still precarious.\u2019 NOTES OF THE STORM.Halifax, Oct.13.\u2014A severe southeasterly gale is 18ging to-night in this region.Timely notice was given of the storm and shipping is well secured.Rain fell heavily during the day and the wind has been blowing tard since dark.New York, Oct.18.\u2014Several be lated steamers from Evropean ports arrived at quarantine to-day and report the recent storm as being a very severe one.Atlantic City, N.J., Oct.18.\u2014Last night the city was cut off from the outside world, both the Reading and Pennsylvania railroad companies posting notices that trains could not be cun in or out of the city because of the damage done to their road-beds.The high tide had washed away the road-beds in many places.The storm continued all night and still there is no sign of {its abating.The brigantine steamboat wharf, 300 feet in length, was washed away and a frame building adjoining the ili-fated casino where the Elk disaster happened two years ago, was \u2018torn down by the waves, and two sections of the old board-walk in Chelsea are gone, OPERA SINGER INSANE.William Courtney is Deemed to Die Within a Year.Deuver, Col., Ocl.13.\u2014Mr, William Courtney, the well-known operatio and oratorio singer, of New York, was yesterday declared by a corps of reputable physicians to be incurably Insane.His case will gradually grow worse, they say, until paralysis sets in.It is expected that friends will call for him in a few days and re move him to an asylum in the East.He is a man apparently doomed to death within a year.At the present stage of the disease Mr.Courtney is a wonderfully happy man.He awakes in the morning with the brightest thoughts, and the very daylight makes him happy.In a few short months, however, the physicians say, he will degenerate into a stupid being, incapable of reasoning, Courtney says he has had an interview with Queen Victoria, and the Grand Old Lady has given him Vene- rueia and Canada and freed Ireland, He has accepted the position of King of Venezuela, and has promised all medical students whom he knows a position at $50,000 a year.He also says Queen Victoria was generous to him, and gave him Princess Beatrice in marriage.DIRECTED AGAINST CANADA.U.S.Live Stock Men Would Stop kx- portations Via bat Country.Fort Worth, Texas, Oct.13.\u2014The National Live Stock Exchange having heard a rumor that Germany has decided to exclude American canned beef, will declare itself strongly along the line of reciprocity, prohibition of Canadian cattle exportation through the United States and retaliation ngainst all foreign Governments seeking to discriminate against the meat product of the United States.The executive committee which met last night presented a lengthy report today dealing largely with the quest'on in relation to foreign governments discriminating against the American live stock product, and the exportation of Canedian cattle through the United States ports.Quarantine lines, as construed by Secretary Morton, were also discussed, and as a result a stringent appeal to Congress for relief will be proposed.Mi s'>narics in Danger, Toronto, Oct.13.\u2014A letter bas just been received at the missionary department of the Presbyterian Church from Mr.Ging, missionary at Honan, China, in which he states that disturbance is still rife in Formosa.One missionary was beheaded by the Japanese and another is

Successor.WAS A PARALLEL CASE IN 1893, Bishop O\u2019Connell's Sudden Removal and the Cahensly Movement Cited in Connection With the Present Case.Washington, D.C., Oct, 12.\u2014The feeling in American Catholic circles over the recent depusition of Bishop heane from the rectorship of the Catholic University, instead of showing signs of subsiding, is becoming more intensitied.The position which Mgr.Martinelli will take in the aot cuoniroversy is causing much speculation.An informal reception was tendered him to-day by the faculty of the Catholic University, but nothing pas:ed that would give any indication on this puint.The sunuarity of circumstances surrounding Bishop Keane's dismissal with those attending the equally sudden dismissal of Bishop O Connell in 1893, are being commented upon.Thie brings up the whole matter of Cahenslyism which has figured so prominently in recent Catholic discussions in this country.Cahensly was a member of the German Reichstag.In the spring of 1891 te was seut to Kome, presumably representing the St.Raphael Society, a religious organization concerned in German emigration tv the United States.Those who were in a posit- lon to know the true facts, notably Mgr.O'Connell, then rector of the American College in Rome, attributed a very different motive to the mission of Cahensly, After a rigid investigation Mgr.O'Connell obtained the true meaning of the move from a copy of a bill which was to have been submitted to the Propaganda Fide.It was found to be a request from the German Government to the Vatican that hereafter in the selection of names sent from the United States to fill vacant bishoprics German names should be given the preference over Irish, American o: other nationalities, The reason assigned for this extraordinary request was that in the Un- ted States there were over 3,000,000 Germans, and that they did not receive proper religious training, and were therefore in danger of losing their faith, In other words they would remain Catholics on condition that they were given German bishops.Mgr.O\u2019Connell published this bill In America, and owing to the bitter opposition made to it here the Propaganda authorities never openly ra- titted it.° The opposition to Cahensly- ism) as stated in the United States at the time referred to, was that no foreign element has a right to de- mard recognition from Rome as a foreign element.This country is American, but the Germans will not be debarred from ecclesiastical preler- ence il they ask it as Catholics.But as Germans and on the plea of their numbers and prosperity, they should receive no recognition, either in America or in Rome, As Mgr.O\u2019Connell succinctly stated the case: \u2018I$ there are 3,000,000 Germans, they should not ask anything from America, they should go back to Germany.We are Americans, laboring to promote Catholic interests in America, not in Germany.\u2019 Mgr.O\u2019Connell was, in June of 1893, deposed as suddenly from the rectorship of the American College as was Bishop Keane from the Catholic University.He is now in Rome, broken in fortune, and, though just In the prime of life, he is decre, it and feeble as an old man.Those w 0 are acquainted with these facts d not hesitate to state that, though the Vatican apparently condemned Cahen- elyism, it has endorsed ft in the most powerful way it possesses.The German element in the American hierarchy has been on the increase for the past five years.When the new archdiocese ot Milwaukee was (ounded Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, was a prominent candidate for the promotion.The Lancaster-Spaulding family, represented in the Illinois prelate, is one of the most honorable in America.His uncle was Archbishop of Baltimore, and he has a long line of ecclesiastical kinsmen.His services at the inception of the Catholic University were also urged in his (avor, but a German, Mgr.Katzer, got the appointment.Some of the most important dioceses, whose population is largely Irish and French, have German bishops, notably Bishops Wigger, of Newark; Mats, of Denver, and Archbishop Jahnnsens, of New Orleans.Candidates for the rectorship are being named almost every hour.The report from Cleveland that Bishop Horstmann has received an intimation that he will be selected is not credited here.His name has not been suggested, except by the ultra-German faction.He could not possibly receive a vote from the American party.Those who are advocating German rule also suggest Bishop Gabriels, of Ogdensburg.But the best authorities believe that tf the new rector is to be chosen from among the bishops, the order of selection will be, first, Bishop Spalding, then Bishop Maes, of Covington,\u2019Ky., and lastly, the ovapnamed possibilty from the Pacific Coast, a bishop who is a warm friend and supparter of Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane.The opinion of most Washington Catholics is that the next rector will be a priest selected from some neutral ground, as Philadelphia, St.Louis or Chicago.Suicide in Jail.Binghampton, N.Y., Oct.13.\u2014F.- mer E.Hicks, a young man, who was convicted of arson in the third degree and sentenced to five

unsatisfactory condition of yacht racing generally was exemplitied this season by the small number of boats which took part in the New York Yacht Club cruise last August and the difficulties with which regatta committees labor- ¢1 to bring even two boats of a class together in minor regattas, The re- «ult was that in many classes where there were extreme modern boats It was almost impossible to get yachts to start dgainst them, and even wha they did start they were so far behind at the finish as to cancel the semblance of a contest.It was also tound that there were entirely too many classes, and, as already pointed out in the columns of the Sun, the regatta committees of the various clubs and the Yacht Racing Union of Long Island Sound were preparing to take action on the matter.The whole question is in a chaotic state at present, and here, as in Eug- land, they tre trying to formulate some rule taxing draught in a general way which will bring about a more sensible and normal type of boat.The Seawanhaka-(Corinthian and Larchmont Yacht Club officials and Frank Bowne Jones, secretary of the Yacht Recing Union, have been wrestling with the problem for some time with the assistance of some eminent designers in the country, and the result of their labors will shortly be discussed by the council of the Yacht Racing Union.Irving Cox, the well known naval architect, who was associated with William Gardner in the design of the Quissetta, in discussing the Question with a Sun reporter, said: \u2018\u2018Yacht racing of late has been very unsatisfactory, and a number of prominent yachtsmen, owners of large boats, who don\u2019t wish to be hopelessly distanced, are trying to bring about a state of affairs whereby they, as well as racing men who own extreme modern boats, may race together on fair terms.\u2018\u201cThe Seawanhaka Club and the Yacht Racing Union are about to take up the matter with a view to providing a system of classification whereby such boats as Lasca, Ariel, Emerald, Iroquois, Marguerite, Sea Fox, and Shamrock among the schooners may race against such boats as Colonia, Amorita, and Quissetta with some show of success, and in the same general way they hope to\u2019 provide for the single-stickers as well, \u2018\u2018Personally I don\u2019t think that it would be well to disturb the existing rule except so far as excessive draught is concerned, bat simply to arrange it so that i! a cruising boat starts against an extreme moder racer she can do 80 with some chance of success, At the request of a well-known yachtsman I have formulated a rule which is embodied in the following letter: \u201cI understand that the Race Committee of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club have at present under con- aideraticn the advisability of refor- mulnting the rule known as the Sea- wanhaka cerrected length rule, gov- ernirg the time allowance received by a smaller vacht from a larger one.I also un\u2018lerstand that the proposed change fx in no way on account of any failure of the rule between boats « the same general type as Colonia, Emerald.Amorita, Quissetta, representing the latest advance in design And construction, or as between Marguerite, Sachem, Mayflower, Sea Fox, ' the cruis- of bath and Iroquois, representing Ing class, but wken boats types are raced together in one class n system of time allowance, base golely on water line length and sail area.is manifestly inadequate and lavors the boat of excessive draught and over-all length.\u201d \u2018When the formula load water line lergth, plus the square root of the sai] area divided by two, equals the racing length, was evolved, raci vachte were radically diffarent in m del fram the present canoe fowm, wth veighted fin-like underwater bcay and in order to bring the two tvpee together in a race we must tax the excessive proportions of the newer boats, not to the exteat of forcing ary reversion of type, but simply to bring about a fair race between boas of practically equal size, althongh of unequal dimensions.Furthermore, the present type of racing yacht, while und utedly fast, has some very urdesirble features.Comparing the models of the Iroquois and the Amor- ita.the former gives a good crulsing boat, easy in a seaway and with proper distribution of weights to make her so.She also, thanks to her large keel line, will be steady running And will lay to well.She will have more cabin room than the other on very much less draught of water, and will cost a third leas at least.The Amorita type in faster, it is true, but at what a cost.She has so great a matacentric height, In other words, ber righting lever is so long and the weight at the end so heavy that she Is practically dangeroua in a seaway.Her lateral resistance is so centralized that when hove to there is danger from broaching to with every wave that strikes the long overhanging ende, and, finally, she is In danger of grounding in moet of our home ports, and cannot make Southern cruises on the same grounds.\u2018As a reeult of comparing all the torms of the best known cruising and racing yachts of to-day, together with their records in races, I have evolved a formula, or rather an addition to the existing formula, which seems to it the purpose I have had in view, oamely, to encourage yacht racing without unduly taxing any element either of seaworthiness or of speed.{ simply add to the present racing length a proportionate amount for every increase above the normal in draught, over-all length, and sail area.I find that a modern racing yacht\u2019s draught varies as 1.4 multiplied by the square root of the load water line, and that a mean of exist- Ing boats gives a proportion of overall to load water line length of one hundred to seventy-five, or for allowable over-all length take one and thirty-three hundredths multiplied by load water line length, and that a fair mean of the square root of the saîl area is one and five-bundredths multiplied by load water line length, or, In other words, that the square root of the sail area Is on the general average flve per cent.more than the load water line length.\u2018Now, my contention is that p to these limits boats are fair and normal and should pay no penalty for excess in dimensions, but that ahove these proportions hoats are machines and abnormal and should pay an extra penalty when racing with a normal and sensible type of boat.My formula for obteining amount of said extra tax is as follows: \u2018Tet A equal excess of draught on 1.4 inultiplied by the square :not ol the load water line.\u2018Tet B equal excess of over all length above 1.33 multiplied by load water line length, \u2018Let C equal the excess of the square root of the sail area above 1.95 maltiplied by load water ina length, \u2018Then A multiplied by 3 plus 33 plus C plus the load water line length and the square root of the saii area divided by £ equals the racing length, \u2018\u201c\u2018Excess of depth has a value of six as against the value o! one for excess of length and cxcess of the square root of the sall area, because depth and length are as six is to one, and inversely the square root of the sail area is supposedly equal to length in speed value.\u2018To illustrate this point compare the dimensions of Amorita and iroquois.Amorita is, roughly speaking, 99 feet over all, 70 feat \u2018on the water line, 13 feet diaughti and 80 square root of the sail area.Her racing length i8 73 feet.Iroquois is 97 teet over all, SO feet on the water line, 10 feet draught, 84 square root of 60il area, racing length 82 feet, \u2018The new formula for Amorita will be A equals excess of draught over 1.4 of the square root of the sail area equals 13 minus 1.4 multiplied by 836 equals 1.3.B equals excess o! over-all length above 1.33 multiplied by load water line equals 99 minus 1.88 multiplied by 70, equals 5.90.C equals excess of square root of sail area above 1.05 multiplied by load water line length equals 40 minus 1.05 multiplied by 83 equals 8.25.\u2018Then the formula will work out as foilows: 8.9 plus 5.90 plus 3.25 plus 70 plus 80 2 equals 83.47 racing length.\u201cThe Iroquois has no excess of length over these dimersions that are suggested to get taxed and her racing | length is the same under both rules.\u2019 A number of the owners of deep- draught boats say that all of the proposed new rules favor the centreboard as against the keel type of boat, and that if they are going to tax draught they should also tax the drop of the centreboard below the keel.gett, THE WHEEL.BALD WILL ACCEPT ZIM'S CHALLENGE.Chicago, Oct.13.\u2014LEdward C.Bald, of Buffalo, the 1896 bicycle champion, to-day announced his intention of accepting Arthur A.Zimmerman's challenge for a $3,000 match, to take place next spring.A NEW DEVICE, A new scheme for driving a bicycle without a chain has just been patented in England.This one not only does away with the chain, but also with pedal cranks.The motive power is to be compressed air.In place of the present cranks the inventor puts an air pump on either side of the bicycle frame, with foot pieces on the plungers of the pumpe.These pump air into a tank between tne pumps.Then, to drive the machine, he puts two engine cylinders on the frame above the tank and connects these by cranks and pitmans to the hub of the rear wheel.The rider is to pump away, compressing air in the tank at about the same rate whether he fs going up Lill or Qown or oa a level.* He controls the amount of air which \"Is to pass into the engines hy a valve, and he lets in power to these just in proportion to the speed required or the difficulties ¢! road to be come.When he is going down hill or on a level he is supposed to be able to store up power in the air tank for the harder parts of the road.PAID PACE-MAKING.The Racing Board of the League of American wheelmen realises that rac- Ing is becoming ruined by the practice of pacemaking as conducted at present and is looking into all sorts of systems and suggestions from Tac Ing men and tournament promoters.Some of the ideas oD toreating ible, while others are inte and worthy of consideration.Albert Mott, the ex-Chiet Consul of the Maryland division of the L.A.W., is a close student of racing, and has experimented with different ideas for the improvement of competitive racing.In view of the work of the Racing Board in taking up suggestions upon tha question of pace-mak- ing for the improvement of racing next season, he says: \u2018I have tried successfully the idea of debarring all riders in the Slowest trial heat from competing in the final event, and have experimented in various ways on the vexed pacing question.Paid pace- making is a heavy expense to race promoters, yet the public seems to demand paced racing.Chairman Gideon has ruled that to take a man frmn the trial heat is against the rules, in so much as {t gives one man an advantage, and besices he neither races nor goes the whole distance, lenrge Gideon was at a meet held in Maryland recently, and the question of pace-making came up.It had been decided to use paid pace-makers in the finals of the races, but for the talals no provision has been made.An idea struck me, and I secuned the consent of the Racing Board chairman to experiment with it.If there are to be paid pace-makers in the final, I thought, why should there not be \u2018a race within a race for the privilege?To accomplish this, two of those who wished to be pace-makers in the final were chosen from each heat and started with the rest of the mer.At once they dashed to the front and took their positions, tandem fashion, In the usual style in this kind of pacing.Now, for the final heat, the pace-mak- ers who carried their fleld through in the fastest time in the trials were chosen as the paid pace-makers for the deciding heat.It looks as though the constant wrangle for the priv - lege of pacing can be easily and satisfactorily settled in this way and tast pacing secured at the same time.[ think it will be well to permit this system in the L.A.W, rules.\u201d VICS RIDE TO BACK

Oct.13.\u2014The College men expect a hard game with Montreal on Saturday next, and they will practice every day this week under the direction of Father Fallon.The anticipations are a hard game against Montreal next Saturday, and a couple of hundred College rooters at least will take advantage of the cheap trip to Montreal to mee the match.The College have a slight advantage in the game in that they all saw the Otta- wa\u2014Montreal match here, and have many of the moves of the Montrealers down fine.The opinion here is that the College should win, but that Montreal can give them a harder fight than the Ottawas did.James and Jack McDougall will probably be seen on the College wing.The Ottawas anticipate a match on Saturday next with the Varsity team of Toronto, and this, should it take place, will give a line on the strength of the eastern and western teams.The executive of the Ottawa Football Club bas decided not to protest the College game on account of Lafleur playing,

the Com ents aud epigrams on to-day\u2019s woman w.ich punctuate the columns oi e.ery ne.spaper amd magazine that the popular mind has become somewhat confused in attempting to i1ecognize her real identity.But anyone who Iima- gines that she proposes to rest cont.nt with the attainments already 1e- corded, and relegate into disuse the means that made them possible, commits an unpardonable error, and ex- pre&ses an unflattering lack of confidence in the high purposes of advanced woman and her ability to apprec- fate the semi-chivalric concessions and labor-saving inventions that have granted wives and daughters immunity from making their husbands\u2019 and brother\u2019s linen collar and stiff shirt frcnts, and thus have given women an opportunity to distinguish themselves in work requiring brains as well as diligence.It is a significant fact that the prcfession of se.ing commands a smaller remuneration today than any of the four hundred other occupat.ons open to the feminine worker, Of course many women have not mental equipment in either natural talents or educaticn to grasp the opportunities that an ever-widening dorizon offers.Perhaps it is well that they haven\u2019t.There is a modicum ot necessary hand-sewing in even this sci.ntific age, and the mental y rest- \u2018ess woman feels heavily handicapped if any portion of it is assigned her t> perform.So \u2018the small minority ot our sex who enjoy keeping their fingers busy and their brains comparatively idle have an important utilitarian value.There is no possibility that the present oraze for hand-sewing will outlive other fads of the moment or revive the dragging, almost fruitless, hours that too often made up the life of the needlewoman a few de cades ago.The poetry of needlecraft i8 the phase with which the up-to- dut\u201d 8 ciety woman is familiar.There is the quinressence of enjoyment in performing a little needlework that we know does mot have to be done.Every stitch may be ihwoven with sweet reveries and fanciful associations.A mental fragrance clings to the hand-sewed or hand-embroide: ed bit of lingerie that never is suggested by the machine-made gartnent.But when we sew because we must, the experience is quite different, in the future as well ae the present tense.If our needle earns our bread, each stitch becomes a factor in a financial calculation.Poetry is substituted by mathematics.If we sew because we are too economical to give professional seametresses a chance to earn \u2018their bread, we have but one dream \u2014namelv, how to finish as quickly as p ssible, and in our recklegs haste we l'arn by experience the soul and body wearing axiom : As ye sew ye shall rip.Yes ! There is little spiritual elevation in the manipulation cf the needie for dear economy\u2019s sake, Instead of a renaissance of the quilting bce the pre-ent poetic activity of the needle presages a ecmpromise between two extremes of womankind.The muscular inteilect possessed by one kind of new women and strained to extremes of violence in her ambition for greater freedom more rights, will tearn moderation.By thus winning the confidence of the timid, weaker kind, it will raise the latter to its own level.Woman has not yet become a perfect manager of her new self.She is not unlike the unskilled cyclist who hag learned to ride at a rapid pace, but has not sufficient control of her iron stead to stop or diemount at pleasure, or to move around abstacles instead of into em.\u201cBut when she has learned to control tbe eltuation generally,\u201d I am asked, \u2018\u2018will she not have become so scli-sufhcient that Cupid himself wil) have to take a vacation ?Undoubtedly she will be mistress of à philosophy that may make her strive to be independent of matrimony, but the master-hand wil} not fail to sirike the chord of love, and fts music will be richer and mellower for awaiting his touch.The story of the famous Russian mathematician Sonia Kovalevsky, who had no peers in the feminine world, and few among men, should be offered to those un- shrinking debaters who do not detect beneath the veneering of new- womanism a deep love of affection, Of sympathy, of children, and home.n the days of the brilliant Russtan\u2019s young womanhood, when Cupid would have obeyed her every commend, she gave herself up to com- piste absorption In her eclentific stu- es.Fame came to her, but greeted 4 woman who no longer wished for it, although youth and beauty had n sacrificed in its pursuit.She lor.ged for the repose of the domestic life and the romantic love that she no longer could inspire, and died of chagrin ang disappointment.Her au- toblography pathetically proves this inference.Yet hers was a masculine intellect that shone with meteoric sl-lendor in the highest branch of scholarship.\u2014-Home Queen.e * e 1t js a curious thing, said the well- groomed girl as she gave her Scotch plaid cravat a prolessional tug to get it into shape, to note the subtle afin lty between the young man and his necktie.Talk of the style beirg the man ! In these days of sober mas culine attire the tie, nine times out of ten, denotes the individual, and, above all, his humor.Observe how he has fingered his tie and you shall know his mood.When 1 meet Reggie, for instance, prancing down the street of an afternoon with a little shep- berd\u2019s-plaid necktie twisted into the most rakish of bowe, then I know that he has an appointment with Amanda at 5 o\u2019clock and that the lady bas a mind to listen to bis suit.Other days I espy him in something limp and forlora, and lavander colored.This 18 not a lucky daywith Reginald, and if you fail to make good Your escape he may go as far as to talk of his difficulties, while for tup< pence he will tell you of the perfidy of the whole female sex.1bhere are men-and worthy citizens, too\u2014w hu always wear blood-red silk adout their throats.There are others who wil, adorn themselves with ready-made bows which buckle in some mysterious fashion at the back ; but this variety of the genus homo is held by the well dressed to be beyond the pale.There is yet another fort of man who invariably wears the most modest little pin-points or «tripes.The color cf his tie is dark blue or black; its texture is corded silk, and he wears it in a rather de- pressed-looking sailors\u2019 knot.This is the kind of young man you can depend upon.He i8 neat, careful, modest, conscientious, honorable and of good report.But, to tell the strict truth, he is not always deliriously amusing.On the other hand, beware of the youth who wears an enormous cravat frothing out on his unmanly bosom.He is, alas ! 100 often a bad tongued little gossip and would sacrifice you\u2014or his grandmother\u2014in order to set the tea table in a roar.* * * \u2018\u201c Crabbed age and youth cannot live together.Youth is summer moru age is winter weather.\u201d\u2019 So said our great master of the human heart and exponent of all thought, and his verdict went for youth, which he \u2018\u2018adores \u2019\u2019 and against old age which he \u2018\u2018 abhors,\u2019\u2019 says Mrs.Lynn Linton.And yet poor Eld, slow-moving, dim- seeing, full of fears and forbidden warnings as it is, has something to say for itself, even in an age like this, wlen the honor of life goes to the young and the old are despised and disregarded.Take it how we will, we cannot deny that the old have more experience than the young.The young minimize the value of this experience by assuming a certain change in the very elements of human nature, he- cause of that change in manners which necessarily comes with the passing of the years and the natural wearing out of all things established.Because the ways of amusament are different from what they were when granny was a girl and father was a boy, they, the girls and boys of the period, roundly assent that the whole thing is different from first to last\u2014and that granny here and father there are no better than fossils in their own persons and dumb dogs incapable ot berding straying sheep.Ignorance always sits in judgment on knowledge, and when he measuring tape falls short the measurer declares there is no more left to verify.But let the young realize to themselves what the feelings of 1he old and experienaed must be, when they see the mad pranks and wilful wanderings of those who trust all to themselves and their own no-knowledge and will not be guided by those who can see, who have already passed that way, who have suffered and learned wisdom in their sufferings.Just as they, these young, would feel were a two-year- old child to insist on scrambling on 10 the window-sill or playing with fire or doing anything else of which it does not know the danger, but of which danger the guarding girl of eighteen or the boy of twenty was perfectly aware-so do the old feel when the youths and maidens of their love despise the \u2018advice which comes from experience and trust themselves to their own devices, unguided and unchecked.* * + The Twentieth century will be a woman\u2019s age.She should prepare for It by acgnainting herself with those great health mavers (who won\u2019t work hy proxy), fresh air and exercise.Many women are disposed to treat this subject contamptuously.Civilization is hampered by harbaric sentiments, not the least of which aie woman\u2019s education and dress.They have never enjoved personal liberty.T!rovgh personal adornment they win their battles.Poor weapons! Pom women ! Frills and flounces, tirey cannot live without them.What's the gain ?Women rarely ever turn their faces toward knowledge until they turn their backs on the fashion plate, Sill, it we would have the world made better, we must look to woman to pus: that toward the best.Were it not \u2018or the Paris modiste.she could do worlds of good.Fvervwhere women arn asking for a style of dress in which thev can develon vigorous, healthv bodies, &trong muscles and pure blood.Horse riding cross aaddle (there's only one way to sit a horse), wheeling and gvmnastics are quite as much womanjs privilege as man's.Woman should not he handicapped bv a Nvs- tem of clothing which defies every law of nature and forbids her enjoying the real pleasure of life.Short skirts for walking are in high favor in eastern cities.May this fad spread like magic.Why carry an individna! mop for taking along the impurities 0° the street ?\u2018\u201c A little more common sense, A little more repose, Less about

Divine Being Manifested in Man\u2019s Intelligence.CHRISTIANITY AND ITS TEACHINGS.Humanity\u2019s Answer To the Question \u201cJs There a God ¥\u2014Sermon By Father Mackey at St.Peter's Cathedral, Cincinnati.The angel of the schools says: \u201cThe first light divinely infused into the soul is the natural light, by which it is constituted an intellectual force.This light is not the first known by the mind, for it is by investigating it discovers what the intellect is.We do not perceive that we have an intellect, bat in perceiving that we understand something intelligible.The knowledge of the intelligible precedes the knowledge by which one knows that he understands and that he has an intellect.We perceive the operations of our intellect before we perceive its existence.We know that we have an intellect because we find ourselves in the act of thought.In the order of truth God in the first truth to be known.But in the course of our operations God is not the first truth known.God is the first truth in the ordemof the knowable, but not in the order of the known.\u201d In your own experience, before you heard the name of God pronounced and invoked, did you know that he is?Did not instruction precede or aid the efforts of your reason?Could you have reached the affirmation of God and formulated the proposition-\u2014God is?Made to receive images the soul attracts them to itself by means of the senses of the body which receive impressions from the foroes of nature.The soul filled with a divine activity seizes these impressions and images, groups them and abstracts the universal which it contemplates, sets in order, fecundates and impresses on a delicate and invisible keyboard whose touch makes the organ of speech vocal.The soul is an inventive and creative power in the world of ideas.The body supplies the raw material of knowledge and ideas, and is the organ of the soul for the manifestation of thought.It is the servant of the soul.The harmony of our nature rises toward God through the harmonies of the world.Marks of Divine Origin.God made us to know him.To this end he predisposes the soul by giving to it truth as the natural object of its intellect and desire, appetite and craving hunger for the universal good, and has given all beings evident marks by which their divine origin is recognized.These marks show traces of sovereign and necessary power and of supreme wisdom, which proves supreme intelligence.These marks show the image of a simple, incorruptible eternal being.The marks of tho operations of divine intel- vligence and love are manifest in the material universe.Our immortal soul is the reflected image of his perfections.An Arab, asked how he knew God, replied, \u2018\u2018In the same way as I know by the tracks in the sand whether a man or a beast has passed over it.\u2019\u2019 Another Arah replied to the same question, \u2018\u2018The sun is seen by the aurora.\u2019\u2019 This is the true language of nature.Everywhere in nature God has left traces of himself.Our intelligent souls, like the faint light of the aurora, announce from afar the presence of the eternal sun.God presents himself to us, as it were, in a mirror and under the cover of veils which we draw apart, and theenigma is solved and the wonder removed.All men see God, but from afar (Job xxi, 25).His invisible perfections, his eternal power, his divinity reveal themselves to our intelligence through the creatures of this world\u2014through the things he has made (Romans i).He has spread out the heavens as the leaves of a book (Psalm cii).The heavens narrate the glory of God and the firmament announces itself asthe work of his hands (Psalm xviii).His name is read on the face of the whole earth (Psalm viii).The magnificence of the spectacle of creation enables the soul to see and to know the Creator of all things (Wisdom xiii).Tracing the vestiges of God in nature, we reach the perfect Almighty (Job xi).Man, being the most excellent creature in the world, draws from the knowledge of himself a more intimate and greater knowledge of God.The soul so enlightened, the voice of human nature utters the universal cry: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.Light, as a visible essence, brought within the range of the eye, is seen, for it is by nature adapted to vision as its object and the means by which all other objects are brought in conjunction with it, impressed on the retina and transmitted to the soul to be classified and elaborated into membership in the ideal and abstract world created by the soul itself.God alone knows himself naturally by his essence.Objects impress themselves on our vision directly, as when you see, for instance, a stone it leaves its image in your ideal world.The angels know God naturally by means of the direct influence of God's glory.Man arrives at the knowledge of God through creatures by the necessary relation of representation which they bear to him who made them.Man a Secial Being.Man is not only a rational but also a social being.As a social being he is caught up in tho current of a religious belief which determines the exercise of reason.This faith he readily and easily justifies.The supreme being whom he glimpses in created things becomes more definite and more clear to his mind the moment it is aroused by the force of the knowledge he gains from tradition.Social instruction, the education of environment, makes him more sure, and his own reasonings make him certain of the being of the perfect Almighty.If he does not know all the attributes of God, he knows that God is and that there would be nothing at all in existence if God were not.Beyond this common knowledge of God there is a more scientifio knowledge derived by demonstration from the processes of reason, which bases its operations on the self evident truths that every effeot must have a sufficient cause; that nothing can be a® the same time its own cause and effect: that the whale.is seater | than its product; that to be and'nôt to be at the same time 1s impossible; that what has any being at all is intelligible, | conceivable ; that the intelligible is pos- | sible, and that the possible has in itself ita sufficient cause.The Summa (contra Gentiles, 111, 89) says, \u2018\u2018The true knowledge of anything is reached not alone by afirma.tions, but also by negations.\u2019 For example, man is a rational animal, but {it ig also to him to be neither inanimate nor irrational.Positive affirmations show what a thing is and how it is separated from other things Negative prooesees show that a thing is separated from other things, different from them, but fail to show what it is This is the kind of knowledge one gains of God by demonstration.Demonstration shows that God is immobile, eternal, infinite, perfect, incorporal, Wholly simple, one, Whoever desires to advance rapidly in any science at all must profit by the labors of his predecessors and the conclusions reached by them in the same fields of thought.\u2018Their honor and the integrity of their life stand sponsor for the faimess and honesty with which they have transmitted to our time the cumulative force of the wisdom of the past.To neglect this wisdom, to ignore it, to begin all over again on one\u2019s own account, to reject the experience of the human race, is to shut oneself ont from the light.It is to excommunicate oneself from the fraternity of men to travel the labyrinths of speculation alone.The scientific demonstration of the existence of God starts like every science from a traditional point of departure.To the experience of the race\u2014the common consent of men and their universal recognition and acknowledgement of God\u2014it adds reasoning.Experience presents facts, and reasoning submits the facts to the determination of certain principles and rises by way of conclusions from the affirmation of the existence of God to the affirmation of his infinite attributes.The Knowledge of God.The principles of causality, elimination and eminence are the instruments by which one reaches the most noble and comforting knowledge\u2014the knowledge of God.All that I behcld are effects.Hence there is a supreme cause, a power, a mover, source of all movements, a force from which emanate all forces, a necessary cause which is responsible for all the necessities in our knowledge, a being in whose being all other beings share, a conservator of order, one who controls and regulates all things in movement on their way and tending toward predetermined ends.There is a first being.Here we have acquired certain knowledge of a first being by the natural light of reason.It is now necessary for us to put in action |

of its end the glory of God, who created it for himself.The supreme knowledge of God is the knowledge of vision enraptured, sasisfied repose, eternal beatitude.The atheist perverts in his own soul all the primary principles adduced, confounds cause and effect, being and not being, truth and error, good and evil, light and darkness.He revolts against the standard of right and wrong, the criterion of truth, justice, love and mercy when he declares there is no God, and therefore no essential difference between good and evil In the light of reason he is insane, of unsound mind.If he be not insane, but the vio- tim of perversion of will, whose mental vision is clonded by the license of the lower passions and vicious and malicious habits of life he is a monster among the people whose influence is dangerous and whose touch is more deadly than the sting of the most venomous reptile.The atheist is universally execrated as to his atheism.This name is so odious to the people at large that certain expert atheists have substituted for it the name of agnostic, which has been derived from the Greek agnomon-\u2014stupid.The stupid set boast of their indifference to God, of their absolute neglect of God, of their ignorance that rejects God.There is grave doubt whether there is any real atheist in existence.But there is no doubt of the existence of moral monsters who refuse to recognize God and turn away from the supreme object of man\u2019s love, for their minds are evil and their hearts are oorrupted, and they fear the light of his presence.What have they to offer to suffering humanity, lifting up its hope to the bountiful bestower of blessings?What havq they to offer to the soldier who goes out to battle, the child of glory?Countless Christian warriors, now hosts of heaven, proclaim that the brave man is not wholly consigned to the tomb; that something more of him survives than an empty name.The great generals of antiquity\u2014Epami- nondas, Xenophon and Alexander\u2014plac- ed reliance in the deity.Pompey marched to battle imploring the divine assistance.Augustus reigned in the name of deity.Woman as an Agnostic.Can woman be an agnostic?What shall support this frail reed if religion do not sustain her?What sensible man would unite himself for life to a im- | pious partner?The agnostic wife can have no idea of duty.Her unsatisfied heart and vacant mind find life a burden; the tumultuous pleasures of the | World have lost the enjoyment they once the principle of elimination.Whatever | P°Ssessed.Abandoned by all, she is ter- is found in the way cf the first being to prevent its being first must be denied.Therefore accidents, contingencies, whatever is indifferent to being, by susceptibility cf being or not being, every supposition of not being, or the merely possible, is of necessity removed from the first being.The first being is necessary being.The elements that consti- | tute a compound are necessarily limited by one another and complete and perfect one another, and are therefore contingent and must be eliminated from the necessary first being.There is no composition of spirit and body, of form and matter, of essence and existence, of act and power, of substance and accident.The necessary first being is simple, all form, all act, all substance.It is not proper therefore to say of him, he has being, essence, existence, divinity, life, but rather he is being, he is essence, he is existence, he is divinity, he is life.There is in him no change, no succession, no limit, no imperfection, no mutability.The first necessary being is immobile, eternal, immense, infinite, perfect, unique, not as the first of a series, but without multiplicity, a unique unity to which nothing can be added, as increase as well as diminution are eliminated from necessary being.You have now seen in action the principles of causality and elimination.\u2018When the perfections found in the most noble effects are attributed to the necessary first cause\u2014the necessary first being for their sufficient cause\u2014by the principle of eminence they are eminent in the first cause.The greatest effect of the supreme cause that we know is our soul.In our soul there is intelligence, truth, science, love, life, power, justice, prudence, wisdom, holiness, together with the immense thirst for happiness.All these perfections are in the soul in the lowest degree, say.Now increase them in degree and intensity again and again and again\u2014up through all the degrees conceivable and way beyond the indefinite and way beyond the finite\u2014and by the principle of eminence their term and their essence are in the supreme cause necessary and infinite.Ged is intelligence without boundaries.He knows all in one principle, which is himself.He is the constant truth who makes trué whatever is true.He is the law of truth.He is eve itself, and the true principlo of all life.Ide is almighty.His justice is the rule of all justice.His prudence is the immense virtue by which he governs all beings.His prudence is the application of infinite wisdom that cannot bo deceived.He is holiness itself.All these perfections are, properly speaking, not in him\u2014they are himself, his being, and his being is his eternal repose, his immovable beatitude.An Incomprehensible Being.The highest knowledge we can have of God in this life is that he is above all that we can think of him.We affirm his existence and his perfection, but we cannot define God for he is incomprehensible.He escapes from our intelligence because he surpasses its most lofty conceptions.All that we can think and say of him is less than he.No name that our delighted soul borrows of creatures can signify his essence.No name represents him adequately, and the soul addresses him as \u2018\u2018He who is \u2019\u2019 O thon who art! The creatures, the contingent beings through which we know God are placed, says the angel of the schools, at an infinite distance from the supreme object of human knowledge, and seeing him only from afar we are exposed to intellectual optical errors.It is not, therefore, matter of surprise if men have here and there wandered from the common and universal knowledge of God\u2014 misled by defective or unsound mental grasp, people of imperfect eyesight form imperfect and untrue notions of things within the line of true vision.And hence the Supreme Being has provided another principle of safe conduct for our guidance in reference to himself.We must believe what the Supreme Being has said of himself.Our soul, re-enforced by new light from above, lifts itself up above itself in the contemplation of di- yine_trgths The new.principle, faith ' rified by the approach of death.She is | a coward, and takes refuge from her | own thoughts by a desperate plunge in- | to the mysterious unknown by the act of her own hand.The rotteuness of the grave is the destiny provided for her by the teachings of the defender of suicide.i The religious woman is trusted, respected and beloved by all.Her faith is ' strengthened by her happiness, and her happiness is increasnd by her faith.She | believes in God because she is happy, and \u201c she is happy because she believes in God.Religion assures us that our afflictions shall have an end.B8he comforts us, dries our tears and lifts us up to he contemplation of that other and betier life beyond the grave.The ory of humanity proclaims the existence, the nearness and the providence of God.The Many Fly Rods.At Redditch, the center of the wholesale fishing tackle trade, literally tons of rods are turned out every year, but \u2018many of these are for export.I have, moreover, been unable to learn the pro- | portion of fly rods to trolling and other I rods and the ratio of increase in output ' during the late years.I am told, however, by a maker I can trust that the yearly increase is enormous.But from Alnwick, better known to many an angler for its glued up split cane rods than for the old feudal fortress of the Percys, I have more specific information.Ten | years ago the annual output of fly rods from the Alnwiok works was, I am told, about 500.Of these 250 only were cane built.At present it is as follows: Cane | built (with and without steel oenters), about 8,500; greenheart, whole cane and other materials, 1,600.These figures are more convincing when one calls to mind the fact that cane built rods, in which the increase is most marked, are of necessity very expensive, each joint being made of six strips split from the hard elastic rind of the Indian male bamboo, so adjusted that when glued and bound together they form one solid structure.They are made and well made elsewhere in Great Britain, to say nothing of America Some people think them not quite so durable as solid wood rods, but with care they will last a great many years, and although I fear I can hardly claim for anglers that they are wholly free from the weakness of buying for novelty\u2019s sake what they do not strictly noed, the number of rods sold in one year probably bears a very small proportior to the number of anglers using sucl rods.\u2014Fortnightly Review.Relief in Six Hours.Distressing Kidney and Bladder diseases relieved in six hours by the South American Kidney Cure.This new remedy isa great surprise and de ight on account of its exceeding prompiness in relicving pain in the bladder, cidneys, back, and every part of the urinary assages in male orfemaie Ib relieves reten- Lion of water and pain in passing it, almost immediately.It) ou want quick relief and cure, this is your remedy.Sold by B.FE.McGale and Laviolette & Nel-on, druggists, Noire Dame Street.APPLETON\u2019S Popular Science | Monthly Interesting, Informing.Inspiring.SX Indispensable to the thoughtful reader who wishes fo keep abreast of the unceasing advances of research, invention and discovery; who desires to have the political, social and economic questions of i the day elucidated by the greatest living ! masters of scientific method and of clear nervous English.Garnered In a library, this magazine Is the best contemporaneous record of the achievements and criticism that make our time the most memorable in human history.Its beautiful illustrations include a portrait gallery of scientific worthies.85 à year; 50c a number, D.APPLETON & CO0., 72 Fifth Avenue, NEW YORK, BITUATIONS WANTED-FEMALE, VWANTED\u2014SITUATION IN SMALL famiy, as general servant by middle-aged wWOmAD; good relerences.APply 1 Anderson Street.246 Y TANTED\u2014SITU ATION AS GENERal servant.by middle-aged person.without washing; willing to go short distance from the city.Address 86 St.Bernard Street.247 % TANTED \u2014 BY A FIRST -
