TWO WAYS OF LIVING.
The hurry and rush in which the
American people, as a class, are living ;
the disposition for change of locality and
novelty of event, have been the theme
upon which many sermons have been
written, and form the reason for repeat
ed warnings to the effect that we are
traveling at the pace that kills. . The
man who, at the close of the Nineteenth
century, comes under the class "suc
cessful" must, above all else, have
earned the title of a rustler. In order
to hold his place in a world of driving
competition, he must be able to do . the
work that a half century ago was the
share . for two men to do. Rapid tran
sit, the extension of the telegraph and
the universal use of the telephone, and
the stenographer's art have made it so
that the business man of today lives in
a whirl. His nerves are strained to a
high tension ; fatigue may be felt, but
never considered, and all the powers
that Nature provided to last the allotted
three score and ten are compressed into
a period half as long, till the man of 35
today has accomplished more on the
average than the man of 70, whose work
was done fifty years ago.
The American people take no rest;
tbey have no time. The cares of busi
ness, the strivings of I politics, the fears
that a day's absence may open the way
for a rival to pass all combine to make
the merchant, the professional man, the
laborer a slave to his task. Without a
wish to be pessimistic, the result of this
life of ceaseless activity-is seen in the
broken -down constitutions, the men who
at the years which mark the prime of
life find themselves worked out, when
by Nature's intention they should be
entering upon a period of their best use
fulness. The picture of the results directly due
to the way the American people are liv
ing, if it were correctly drawn, would be
gruesome one. In pleasant contrast
comes now and then a glimpse into the
lives of those who have obeyed Nature's
laws and found the profit great. Such a
one is Dr. Richard S. Storrs who, should
he .live till next November, will com
plete a pastorate of fifty years in the
Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn. Dr.
Storrs has led a busy life, but he has so
subjected it to reasonable rules that the
forces of nature have been conserved
rather than impaired. Fifty years ago,
when first he went to Brooklyn, his
health was frail, and seeking the advice
of a physician, he asked him to give pos
itive instructions how he should live in
order that his usefulness to the world
might be the best. It may be added
that he lived faithfully to the orders
given. One -of them was that he should
do all his studying in day time; another
was that as a pastor he should be inter
ested in persons and in families, and
from them receive- much of his inspira
tion. ' Again, he must be interested in
the community in which he lives, and
believe in it and love it. And finally
there must be a consciousness of suc
cess.. No man can do his best unless he
knows that he-is not altogether failing.
These simple rules it would be well if
all could follow. Human sympathy
keeps warm the heart ; a person's rea
sonable belief in his own success means
that success is already on the road. It
5s such lives as that of Dr. Storrs that
the youth of America should consider
and pattern after. Notwithstanding his
SO years, his intellect is clear, his heart
young and "his natural force unabated."
This is success that is well worth striv
ing for. The prize that is attained at
the cost of health and character is bat a
tinsel thing that passes with the sun.
' Lake many of its predecessors in re
ligious work, the Salvation Army is ex
periencing dissensions in its own ranks.
The removal of Balhngton Booth from
the American command has caused re
gret among those who have witnessed
the success of his work and aroused bit
terness among his adherents in the
army. There is nothing new nor strange
in the differences that have occurred in
this religions, organization, the only
thing being that the Salvation Amy
was planned upon lines which it was
thought would enable it to avoid the
rocks that have hindered the progress of
religions bodies. The sncces of the Sal
vation Army work has been phenome
nal ; bat so long as its members have
human attributes and are not entirely
lost in self-abnegation, the organization
will be open to the same dangers that
such inbtitations since the first have
been, and from time to time will lose a
portion of its adherents through differ
ences in opinion. This is one of the
obstacles all religions bodies have to
contend with,. and does not necessarily
mean that their work is failing of its
intent.
The passing of the senate bill granting
a monthly pension of $100 to the widow
of the late Secretary Gresham, will need
more explanation before its merit will
be unquestioned. Gresham received bis
just due while living, and whatever ob
ligation the country owed him for his
gallant services daring the war. had
been paid, so far as such a debt can be
discharged, by the repeated honors be
stowed upon him. For many years
Gresham held some office or other with
a lucrative salary attached, and if at his
death his widow has not a competence.
the fault can only be in one place. Tbe
Case is far -different with the widow of
some poor soldier slain in battle, or by
wound or disease made incapable of se
curing a competence. The nation owes
a debt to such' a soldier, or his family,
far more than it does to the widow of
Secretary Gresham.
As the youngest office in the cabinet
make-up, the Department of Agricul
ture, through the efforts of Secretary
Morton, has been able to create quite a
stir. The oratory and humor of indig
nant congressmen has been called out to
an unusual degree, the climax being
reached when Representative. Cousins
declared, "This is no longer a govern
ment of the people; it is a government
by J. Pierpont Morgan and J. Sterling
Morton." This remark is fit to rank
with Wilson of Washington's "cuckoo"
call, and the appropriate innuendo, "Go
it Fitz!" which brought down the house
during tbe Indian bill debate.

BICYCLES OF GREAT COST.
New Tork Firm to Meet a Demand for
Sl.OOO Bicycles.
The most prominent New York jew
elry firm has something new for wheel
men in a silver bicycle, which was put
on exhibition at their store a few days
ago. The wheel is the first of the kind
ever made. In order to insure strength
and durability it was necessary to have
the supporting rods and spokes of steel.
All the rest of the frame is of sterling
silver. The handle bar is of plain sil
ver, with burnished ivory handles. The
other silver parts are finely eng-raved
by hand, with repousse etching- of the
Louis XVI. style. The sprocket wheel
is of plain silver. The saddle itself is
studded- with silver nails. The cost of
the machine, as it stands, is $500. A
silver lantern to go with it will add
from $100 to $200 to the price.
The completed wheel weighs about
6- pounds. A member of the company
said, in explaining the construction of
the new bike: "This wheel was built
to supply a demand which we know to
exist among some of our patrons for
a better and more expensive wheel than
can be had on the market at present.
Such a wheel we have tried to make,
and I believe that another season will
see many of them at the fashionable
resorts."
A woman's wheel is being finished
in the firm's shops. This- wheel will
be much more richly ornamented, and
its price will be $1,000. ' A lantern,
which is being made to go with it, will
be set with pracious stones ar.d will
cost several hundred dollars.
Water. Famine in South Africa.
The South African newspapers are
full of amusing incidents in connection
with the Rand water famine. Soda wa
ter at five shillings a bottle is in general
use for culinary and washing purposes.
The demand for Florida, bay rum, eau
de cologne and other liquids of like
character is unprecedented ly great, and
anything that can be pressed into the
service' of the toilet commands a fancy
price. A mixture of ammonia and
lavender water is said to yield satisfac
tory results, and even vaseline and ben
zine are by no means despised.
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says', and many agree thereto,
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to anv other." Sa wrote Mr
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. is. Russell, of Jjarmville, Va
writes, "It fulfills all you promise for it.'

The exposure to all sorts and condi
tions of weather that a lumberman is
called upon to endure in the camps
often produces eevere colds, which, if
not promptly checked, result in conges
tion or pneumonia. Mr. J.O.Daven
port, ex manager of the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution at
Fort Bragg, Cal., says they eell large
quantities of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy at the company's store and that he
has himself used this remedy for a severe
cold and obtained immediate relief.
This medicine prevents any tendency of
a cold toward pnenmonia and insnres a
prompt recovery. For sale by Blakeley

In a recent editorial the Salem, Or.,
Independent says : "Time and again
have we seen Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy tritd and never without the
most satisfactory results. Whenever we
see a person afflicted with hoarseness,
with a cough or cold, we invariably ad
vise them to get Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy; and when they do, they never
regret it. It always does the vroik, and
does it well." For eale by Blakeley &
