Question Declared to Be Nil : "If We
Become Hungry There Are Plenty
et Shops" - Nou-Strikers Fed and
Lodged Where They Work,.
Pearls, Oct. 10. --Following the Dreyfus
excitement in France is an upheaval
among leboring men. The leaders are
alining au a general strike, with the pro-
fessed object of effecting an economic
revolution which will change the position
of the workers of France. The first indi-
cation of the trouble occurred several
days ago,.
In a State of Siege.
Paris just now might be in a state of
neige. Troops aro dotted about all over
Me capital, almost all the places where
work of construction is going on are
guarded. There is a manifest desire upon
the part of the striking navvies to bring
about a general cessation of labor by any
and every means. Yesterday the house
painters passed a resolution condemning
those workmen who still hesitate to join
the strikers. At a meeting of the cabinet-
makers one of the speakers proposed the
extension of the striae to the provinces,
and said: "WO need not concern ourselves
With the peounlary question. It we be-
come e hungry there aro plenty of shops."
Thera hate been many violent attacks
during tee 'week at the big hotel that the
sleeping or company is building in the
Champs Elyseo. Several strikers put in
an appeareuce the other day and literally
pulled the neon still working off the
premises. At another point a laborer was
attached for continuing to work. Ile

London, Oct. 10. -The Marquis of
Salisbury has returned to his duties at
the Foreign Office in an unusually dogged
mood, a complete antithesis of his ordin-
ary gentle treatment of the ollialeis. Be
was extremely disgruntled at the way
official matters concerning China and
Fashoda have been coming out..
The British Premier seems to realize
thee trouble is brewing in the East,, as
large quantities of war horses are going
to Hong Kong. About 300 tons of am-
,muni:ion wereembarked for that port
on Saturday, while the first-class cruiser
Terrible has been ordered, to join ber
sister ship, the Powerful, on the China
station so soon as small repairs are com-
pleted, These cruisers are the largest in
the world, and form a formidable addi-
tion to Great Britain's naval force in
Chinese waters.

Paris, Oct. 10. --The Government has
issued special orders to the garrisons of
numoreug towns near the capital to send
immediately to Paris, 500 infantry eaoh.
The Tournal dos 1)ebats declares that
these rointor4emonts will amount to 10,-
000 mon. The paper expressos the hopo
that the country is not on the eve of a
revolution. All the troops will bo sup-
plied with two days' rations and sixty
rounds of ball cartridges. Yesterday has

brstone and then the other. The ankle
has as much to do with proper pedaling as.
the muscles which supply the power, It
Is not enough simply to push one pedal
down when it is up and allow the foot to
rest idly on it when it's comiug up. That
inertia means not only a loss of power,
but a dead weight to carry up with every
revolution of the pedals. The four illus-
trations shown herewith give an excellent
piotoriai idea of how a pedal should be
carried around the circle by the foot and
ankle in order to get the best results with
the least effort. In Fig. 1 the beginning
of the down thrust is shown. The heel is
dropped slightly and the ball of the foot
is' messed against the pedal with the full
force of the thrust. As the pedal descends
the downward pressure continues, but the
heel is raised gradually. The heel is
slightly higher than the toe when the ped-
al is half way down, as is shown in Fig. 2.
Tile downward pressure isnot released un-
til the pedal is almost at its lowest point.
Then, as is demonstrated by Fig, 3, the
foot clutches tbe pedal, with the heel high
up, and drags it up part of the way for its
next revolution. By the time the pedal is
half way up (Fig. 4) the heel has been al-
lowed to drop slightly, and it keeps on
dropping until it is ready to start in again
With its noxi thrust at No. 1, The ankle
does all the directing in this work.
"It is very properly observed," remarks
an old rider of thewheel, "that in the ease
of eeteh iudividual ritier there is a certain
pace per hour which secures the best re-
sults. Of course this pace is largely in-
fluenced by the machine, weather and na-
ture of the roads. The more this pace is
exceeded the greater becomes the proper-
tionate increase in the power required for
propulsion. This is principally due to the
enormously increased wind pressure as the
pace gets higher. At paper recently read
before a learned society showed from the
results recorded by dynamometers that io
takes treble as much work to delve a ma•
chine at 10 miles an hour as at eight miles
an hour. Judgment and experience are
necessary to enable a man to toll the pace
that suits hila best under dlfteront air-
eumstences, and one's rend riding ability
depends in no small measure on the pos-
session of such judgment,"

Hunter of Vancouver.
Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 10. -Hon. Clifford
Siftou on Saturday morning, when asked
respecting the removal of Mr. Fawcett
from the gold oommissionership of the
Yukon, referred the enquirer to Mr.
James Smart, the Deputy Minister.
Mr. Smart said: "Tbe'only thing ap-
proaching a charge -or, perhaps, I should
say a complaint -against any of the Yu-
kon officials that bas been actually made
was against the gold commissioner, There
have been a lot of talk and many gener-
alities, but the only actual tangible com-
plaint was this one. That was forwarded
here by certain miners, or at least, men
who represent themselves to be miners,
and was not a charge o1 fraud, but of in-
competency. The Government on this
account tbougnt it advisable to make a
obange in the gold oommissionership, and
Major Walsh, who was here, recommend-
ed it. Besides, it was thought advisable
to have a lawyer as gold commissioner,
as numerous technicalities, arise. The
Government have, therefore, appointed
Mr. Gordon Hunter of Vancouver, who
was proposed as a judge, and is a most
capable man, gold commissioner, and to
supersede Mr. Fawcett."
"Is Mr. Fawcett superseded or dis-
missed?"
"Superseded. Mr. Fawcett is appointed
chief surveyor, and will, hurry up the
completion of the survey, so that he is
not dismissed."
"In fact, he Is promoted?"
"No. It will not make any difference
to him any way, but the Government is
anxious to have the survey completed,
and he will be in charge of it,"
"That complaint is the only reason of
the change?"
'a Yes, it was thought better."

was in progress, there was a great hue ana
cry about the brutality of the exhibition.
The men were alleged to be undermin-
ing their constitutions and ruining them-
selves for life. The facts of subsequent
events seem to prove that they were mak-
ing themselves -that the training in en-
durance and the "horrible strain" have
made them splendid sprinters.
For an all day ride the secret of endur-
ance is to start slowly at the rate of seven
or eight miles an hour. Unknowingly the
pace will be found to increase as the rider
gets into the swing, as it were, and be-
comes accustomed to being in the saddle.
Always allow the machine to do as mach
work as possible -that is to say, use the
foot rest at any slope whore the wheel will
travel by itself. The use of the foot rest
or "coaster," as it is generally known, is
considered very bad form for women, and
under ordinary oiroumstanoes should nev-

main object is for the rider to save herself
in every possible way, and this can be done
to an incredible extent if advantage be
taken of every small incline, using the
brake and traveling slowly the while. At
the end of .the day this accumulation of
short rests will amount to much saving of
fatigue.
In many cases the finer points of riding
aro never acquired, because the rider gets
into a rut and presses his pedals down,

The shooting occurred before the resi-

the late George Althouse, where Saxton
is presumed to have gone to make a call.
Five shots were fired, three of which
entered his body, and Mrs. Anna C.
George was placed under arrest on sus-

This is the story that was brought back
by a young person who had spent a morn-
ing at a -hospital in Auburn, N. Y.:
" While I was there a man and a woman
came in, bringing a burned child in a
blanket. It turned out that the man
didn't know the woman, nor the woman
the man, and neither knew the child. As
the woman was riding on an open trolley
car on her way to the hospital she heard a
shriek and saw a child in a dooryard with
its dress afire.
"She jumped off the oar, grabbed a.
blanket which hung an a clothesline,
wrapped it around, the child and rolled it
on the ground. The child's mother name
out of the house and picked the child up.
That started the fire again. The rescuer
instantly grabbed the child from the
mother, rolled it on the ground in the
blanket some more and then ran with it
to the oar, got aboard' and brought it to
the hospital. The man was a stranger to
her who happened to bo on the car, and
who carried the, child e block or so from
the oar to the hospital. The child was
badly burned, but will recover, Don't
you think that woman's wits were pretty

king called for Jebolada and asked wby
the 'writes bad not been required to bring
this in. Tho answer of Jehoiada is slot
given. Prayer is move powerful than are
gunrent, and possibly priests and Levites
gave themselves to prayer. In E. =lee,
there is the record of the ransom or
atonement money which every man gave
wben enrolled in the army of Israel, but
this money was used to build the taber-
nacle (Ex. =via, 25.28). In Dot. xvi,
10, 17, there is a record of an offering fros-
ty given When the
people1a came to
Jerusa-

to worship the Lord, and this, I think,
would be the proper offering for the re-
pairs. Notice that this was brought to

and also all the dedicated things of the

Baalim." Is there any danggerOf ourtaking
things that belong to God and, like that
wicked woman and her sons, giving them
to Baal? Let Baal stand for ail other lords
except the Lord Jesus Christ; then, if hon-
est. would we not kava to say, "0 Lord
our God, other lords beside thee have bad
dominion over us" lira. xxvi, 13). What-
ever is given to self or the world of that
which belongs to the Lord is like taking
irons tba Lord to give to Baal,

out at the gate of the house of the Lord."
In II Kings xii, 9, it is said to have been
placed beside the altar an the right side as.
ono cometh into the house of the Lord.
By comparing the two verses we eco that
it was done by Jehoiada, the priest, at the
king's commandment. The altar suggests
the sacrifice, God's love to us, tba cost of
our redemption, the love al Christ which
cotlstrainoth us to yield all wo are and
have cheerfully to Mut. Giving is easy
when we oonsider Him who so lored us
that Ile gave Himself for us. \Shat can
wo give compared with His gift?
9, "And they made a proclamation '
through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring
in to the Lord the colIection," This is
wholly different from sending out tho
priests to gather it (verse a i). This is the
Lord's way, the other is man's way. 'When
the tabernacle was to be built, proclama-
tion was lnada that all wbo were willing
might bring their offerings, and the result
was that so much canto in that Bioses had
to command the people to stop bringing
(Ex. xxxv, 29; xxxvi, 6, 7). It was the
same willing spirit tbat provided for the
temple (1 Chron. xxix, 9). I believe that
if people were taught the privilege of giv-
ing because of God's great gift to them
they would today give as freely as in the
days of Moses and of David. I have seen
it and know it and have heard of the same
spirit in other parishes, where the efforts
to raise money were set aside and the peo-
ple permitted to give willingly.
10. "And all the princes and all the
people rejoiced and brought in and oat
into the chest until they had made an
end." David prepared for the temple with
all his might, because he had set his affec-
tion to the house of bis God, and when the
People gave he said, "Who am I, and what
is my people that we should be able to
offer so willingly after this sort, for all
things come of Thee and of Thine own have
we given Thee" (I Chron. xxix, 2, 8, 14).
There is tbat soattereth and yet increaseth.
Every man, according as he purposeth in
his heart, so let hire give -not grudging-
ly or of nooessity, for God loveth a cheer-
ful giver (a hilarious giver) (Prov. xi,
24; II Cor- ix, 7).
11. "Thus they did day by day and
gathered money in abundance." When the
chest was full, they counted it and put it
up in bags and put the chest in its place
again. Compare II Kings xii, 10. It was
so easy to thus gather it. No ono was
asked to give. All gave as they were led,
and no one krew but the Lord who gave
much or little. Doubtless then, as when
long afterward Ile sat over against the
treasury, many who were poor gave more
in proportion than some of the rich. In
the day of the rewards each one shall be
recompensed according to his works (Rev.
sail, 12), and He who reads the heart will
reward righteously.
12. "And the king and Jehoiada gave it
to such as did the work of the service of
the house of the Lord." The money is first
provided, and then the work is carried on.
When the Lord would send His servants,
Joseph and Mary, down to Egypt, He first
provided the gold that was necessary
through the wise men who came from the
east. When He wants anything done, He
always provides for it fully. When any-
thing seems as if it ought to be done and
there is nothing to do it with, either it is
not the Lord's work or it is not the time
to do it. But when His work is done in

the Lord's provision. He does exceeding '
abundantly: 'There is a house now being
