Norton of Harvard University, said to

"Flinging (amain on sense and moral

influence of historical emotion, without

rustled with childish precipitancy into

a weak nation which, whatever IP had
done to provoke it, showed itself finally
ready to make erexy reasonable effete to
avert it, and to meet every legitimate do

Rioting at Mantle.
Manila, Aug. 27. -There bas been a
eery serious clash at Cavite between Uni•
'ted States soldiers and the insurgents, tbe
riotine resulting in the killing of ono
soldier and the serious wounding of an-
other. George Hudson, a member of the
Utab battery, got into a dispute with a
native shopkeeper. Fearing trouble, he
fired bis revolver in the air to attr'lot the
attention of some of his fellow -soldiers.
A great crowd of natives ran to the scene
of the disturbance and at once began lir•
ing their revolvers, killing Hudson and
seriously wounding Corporal William
Anderson of the same battery, who had
harried to the assistance of Hodson. The
disaffection is spreading to the outlying
districts.

Of Present Interest.
Of the cities of Cuba, Havana, the
capital of the island, is chief. It is a city
of about 220,000 inhabitants, with fine
promenades, boulevards and streets; first.
class hotels, with restaurants equal to
those of New York, Paris, Buenos Ayres,
etc.; three theatres, in which first-class
companies perform, one of them, the
Teatro Tacon, being one of the largest In
the world; and clubs andsooiai and scien-
tific institutions. The other oities of the
island are of much loss Importance. Tho
principal are Matanzas, Puerto Prinoipe
and Santiago de Cuba, with some 40,000
inhabitants each, and Cienfuegos, with
about 25,000.

about it? Let the weather alone. Fog is

There is a good warn sun of love at

Sleep, Nature's Medicine.
Menander said that all diseases were
curable by sleep -a broad statement in
which, nevertheless, there may be some•
thing .that is true; for good sleepers are

regularly the prescribed medicine during
sleening hours.

Text of the Lesson, II Kings x311, 14-20,
Memory Verses, 20, 21 -Golden Text, Ps,
exp-, le -Commentary by the Rex, p.m.
Stearins,
14. "Now Ellaha was fallen sick of his
Sickness whereof he died. And Joasb, the
king of Israel, came down unto him and
wept over bis face and said, O my father,
my father, the chariot of Isestet and the
horsemen thereof!" This chapter reoorde
the death of five people and the resurrec-
tion ot one, Why should not klisba be
translated and eseepo death as well as
Elijah? God :doeth amending to. His will,
and none can stay Ili» ieand or say unto
Him, "Khat doest to . (Dan. iv, 35).
The king of Israel uses the same words to
bim that be had used of Elijah. Prophets
and kings may die. but God, and not they,
is the chariot of Israel. When l: zziah died,
the prophet Isaiah looked up and saw a
King who never dies (Isar vi, 1), and this
IS the only way of peace.
15. "And Elisba said unto bim. Take
bow and arrows. And he took auto hire
bow and arrows." The king was wise to
obey the man of God without questioning.
The one thing that brings salvation to the
Rinner is obedience. Goll comn:auda us to
repent and believe (Acts zvii, 30. 31;
John iii, 23). This any ane who le Will-
ing can do, for the reception of the Lord
Jesus Christ implies repentanes er a
change of mind on our pars end faith in
Bite. 'Truly receiving Ilam. the soul 1*
laved (John 1, iii). Then if as saved peo-
ple we would be blessed and usedo a bless-
ing the one way is simple, trustful ebedi-
epee (lea. 1, 111, 19).
10. "And he said to the king of Israel,
I'ut thine band upon the bow. And be
put his hand upon it, and Elisha put his
bands upon the king'e hands." Tr lisha'a .
hands upon his meant the hand of God,
for Elisha was a Arlan of God representing
Gori before the l;eople. The great joy of
our Lord was that the Father seat Him

rify Ilim, and that tied was with Ii'itn,

says to us. "As the Fattier scut tyre, so
send I von. and "I. the Lord, thy (Sod.
will hulas thy right ] :aitd, saying. Fear net,
I will help thee" olohn xtw, ;ll; 1:a.a. xli,
1s).
17. "Anti he said, (-;sans the window
eastward, and he opened it. Them Elisha:
said, ;;hoot. And he shot. And be said,
The arrow of the Lard's deliverance."
God was directing the prophet to encour-
age the king to bare confatieeco in Him,:
for none can deliver I"ale -lite and licit:$
can deliver but Hien. In verse G we
read that ."Tito Lord gave leraei a tea -
view." In Ise. lily. til, 2a. it to writ -
ton, "There is no Mel e/st7 Menlo alt, a
just God and a Saviour, there 33 zioltu ha-
eido Me; look Unto :de and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth. for 1 am god nod
there is none else."
18. "And ho said, Taro the arrows.
And he took them. Anal bo said unto the
king of Israel, teethe upon the ground.
And ho smote thrice and Maya" hoe
Mines he was told just what to do without
any possibility of his doing otherwise if
perfectly obedient, but this sixth time
there Is a possibility of much or little, as
he will, for be is not told how oft to smite.
10. "And the man of God was wroth
with him and said, Thou shouldest have
smitten five or six times, then Midst thou
smitten Syria till thou Midst consented
it." The exceeding abundantly of the
Lord is always within our reach, but we
limit Him by our lack of faith and lank of
zeal for Hini. SIe Is saying unto ns, "If
ye shall ask anything in Me name, I will do
it," and "Call unto ;tie, and I will answer
teeo and show thee great and mighty
thinge which, thou knowest not" (John
xiv, 14; Jar. xxxiii, 8).
20. "And Elisha died, and they buried
bim. And the bands of the Moabites in-
vaded the land at the coming in of the
year." Elisha died -that is, bin work be-
ing done, he found himself "absent from
the body and present with the Lord."
Some of the angels who watched over him
while In the body received bim as ho left
the body and bore him or escorted bim
Immo to his God and Saviour, to Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, to Moses and Joshua and
David and to Elijah, who bad called bim
to his public service.
21. "And they cat the man into the
sepulcher of Elisha. and when the man
was let down and touched the bones of
Elisha he revived and stood up on his
feet," It looks as if some Israelites were
busying a man, and. seeing a band of
the:;o invading Moabites, they, being near
Elieha's sepulcher, put the dead body
therein with the result deecribed, suggest-
ing the resurrection of all who truly touch
Him of whom Elisha was a type, God my
Saviour, If it was the Moabites who were
burying the man, than there is a sugges-
tion of life to tbe Gentiles through the God
of Israel. 1 think there are but throe res-
urrection stories in the Old 'Testament-
tht, widow's son, the Shunamite's son and
thin one -and all associated with Elijah
and Elisha.
22. "But Mune', king of Syria, op-
pressed Israel all the- days of Jeboahaz."
In verse 8 we road that it was because of
sin 73o delivered Israel into the hands of
the Syrians. The book of Judges is a rec-
ord of repeated oppressions of Israel by
their enemies when they sinned against
God and of God's deliverances when they
called upon Him.
2a. "And tbe Lord was gracious unto
them and had compassion on them and
had respect unto them, because of His
covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
and would not destroy them, neither cast
Ho these from His presence as yet." Not
for their sakes, but for His own name's
sake and because I -lo had seen fit to enter
into covenant with thein, an unconditional
covenant with the parties just mentioned.
The covenant still stands, and because of
Is and because of His faithfulness Israel
shall bo pieced in the promised land with
all His beast and soul, ,after much tribu-
lation a deep conviction of sin shall be
given them, they shall look upon Christ
as Ile shall come in glory for their deliv-
erance and shall receive Him and become
a righteous nation forever (Mio. vii, 1S-20;
Jer. xxxii, 41; Zech. aril, 10; sill, 9; Isa.
xxv, 9; In 21).
24, 25. "Three times did Joash beat him
and recovered the cities of Israel." Jnst.
as Elisha had ' said in verse 19. Many
things-perbaps all in the way of victory
and service -enemata us according to our
faith. Little faith has a poor time and ie
often overcome, whereas great faith ham
great peace and joy and victory and brings
great glory to God. Consider Hiro who
endured such` contradiction' of sinners
against Himself -lest ye be weary. Think
how zeal for God consumed Him, and
covet, like Elisha, to be filled with His
Spirit for His service and glory (Heb. zI
8; John ii, 17; }ypb. v, 18).

gether, but they do not have the enthu-
siasm of their neophyte days. They go out
for a short ride and piok the finest stretch
of asphalt or the neatest bit of road. The
fall is the best season and it is gutting so
that many skip tho heated term and loavc
their best riding to bo done then. I think
the time is coming when the height of the
riding season will be in September and -
October and when those months will con-
stitute a busy selling season. The bulk of
the wheeling being Bono now is in the
outlying districts. Country riders, when
they begin, learn to take tho roads"as they
come, and they are not so whimsical as
city riders. They continue steadily along
without giving much thought to road con-
ditions. In towns of from 5,000 to 30,Ot)0
inhabitants all over the country the rid-
ing is continuous until snow files, and the
number of cyolers is on the increase all
the time."
A new chainless has made its appear-
ance. The driving mechanism consists of
internal guars meshing with small spur -
gears on hub of roar wheel. Those in-
ternal gears have a ball bearing external,
which runs ill a easing made fast to the
main frame, and in tho bearing tbore is a
ball retainer or dividing ring, which con-
tains 18 balls and is made in this form to
lessen friction. Tho pedal cranks are com-
pound cranks in an eccentric movement.
The pedals on their downward motion have
a long leverage, and exports who have rich
don this wheel claim that at 114 gear it
rides as easy as the ordinary cbain wheel
of 90. Tho wheal makes a handsome ap-
poaranco, and the inventors claim it can
bo 12151410 as cheaply as any first plass bicy-
ole on the inarkot.
Tho statement of Dr. S. C. Stanton,
who is in cbargo of the examination of re -
omits for the regular army in Chicago, to
the effect that bicycle scorchers aro unlit
physically for army service, has caused a
sonsation in the ranks of the huinpbacked
brigade who ride their . wheels for speed
only. Ho says ]ie -has made the severest
tests in his examinations in determining
that point and has arrived at the conclu-
sion only after exhaustive examination,
He states that many men have been re-
jected because of - "bicycle heart," as he
calls it, induced by excessive strain in.rid-
ing the wheel. The persistent scorcher,
he finds, has a tendency to enlarge the
heart and thus interfere with its action.
Chainless bicycles are now being made
that weigli only 23' pounds, and it Isnot
unlikely that they may be made even
lighter, although there is little demand
for a road machine weighing less than
this. Another point that marks the march
of progress in connection with the new
POPULAR BOATING.
Three Styles of Boat Which Any Boy Can
-take.
The simplest styles of rowboat are the
sharpie, the punt and the scow. Tho sharpie
has a pointed bow and fiat stern, and it is
a true boat shape, having the curved sides
and tho bottom slightly raised Male stern.
The punt is a flat bottomed affair, slight-
ly rounded at both ends, with the bottom

rising at stem and stern. A scow, the sim-
plest and easiest to make of all, bas
straight skies and flat bottom, beveled at
both ends. As both bow and stern are the
same, this, as well as the punt, can be row-
ed forward or backward without turning
it about, as it is necessary to do with
the sharpie, The sooty will be found the
easiest ono to onnstruct, but the hardest
one to row. owiug to its blunt ends.
How Herd Plays Golf. -
Fred Hercl, the new golf champion, has
a much longer swing than most golfers,
although his style does not differ material-
ly from such men as H. IL Hilton and
Alex Herd: When he is at his best, his
game isreluari:able for its brilliancy. • IIe
goes for everything. If there is a bunker
199 yards away and he feels that he can
carry 200 yards with his best ball, he will
not hesitate to try and overcome the haz-
ard, but if there is a bunker 210- yards
away and he feels that he cannot quite
carry it he will slice or pull the ball so as
to curve around the obstruction. He only
