Sammis, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church at New Brunswick, N. J ., delivered a practical sermon last Sunday on bicycling and religion. ‘He regards the wheel as an aid, rather than a hindrance to Christ- ianity. “The people are too ‘pious to enjoy outdoor exercise and breathe the pure air of heaven, even on the Sab- bath, ’,’ said he, “are too religious to be of much consequence to themselves or to the world about them. Bright eyed, rosy checked, m'iiscular religion is the cry and need of the hour. Good health I and cheerfulness are the wings of Christianity. ” Mr. Sammis declared that the wheel was a very faithful servant to him and of great assistance in his pastoral work. He said that he calculated that six times as much pastoral work could be done with the assistance of the wheel as could be done on foot, and with less exertion. So one day on a wheel is worth six days on foot. As to the pro- priety of Christian people using the wheel for pleasure riding on Sunday, Mr. 'Sammis had this to say: “If a per- son is so conditioned and hampered that the only time at his disposal for a quiet, healthful ride on the wheel is I Sunday, then get on your wheel and enjoy your ride. You are committing no unpardonable sin. But club runs and centuries on the Sabbath are, as a general rule, to be deprecated.” There may be some clergymen who are not yet prepared to indorse all that Ir. Sammis says on this subject, but there is a growing feeling even among Christian people that the wheel can be used on Sunday with no violation of the sanctity of the day, but on the con- trary with benefit to the rider. It is a matter for each person to settle for himself, for circumstances and condi- tions vary widely. ‘v’ 600d Words for the Crappie. A correspondent of the Washington Star has the following to say in favor ofa superior foodfish, quite new we opine, to most of our local disciples of Izaak ‘Nalton. He is a member of the U. S.

' The city of Pomona, Cal., has just adopted the most remarkable high li- cense liquor ordinance known in Cali- fornia and possibly anywhere. The temperance committee at Hartford will do well to consider it. No such singular measure has ever come up in our General Assembly, though there have been some pretty queer proposi- tions brought before that body. The Pomona law provides for licens- ing two saloons. Each is to pay $1,000 per year in advance. The saloon keeper must give bonds in the sum of $500'that shall be forfeited in case he fails to observe the law under which . he is licensed. The saloons must. be run in single apartments with no an- nexes or wings, and in buildings front- ing on the streets. Half of the front of the saloons must be of glass, no painted or frosted glass or screens being al- lowed. The view from the street must be, free and unobstructed, and no bil- liards, cards or any game shall be played. only one seat,that for the barkeeper, will be allowed, and even casks will not be allowed for customers to lean or sit upon. There must be no back doors or windows. The s‘aloon keeper will forfeit his license and bond if he sells to a minor or a woman or to a man con- cerning whom there has been complaint by his wife, sister, son, I mother or daughter, or if any man is an habitual drinker. I The barkeeper must first be ap- proved by the city council as a re- spectable citizen. Saloons must be open only from 5 a. m. to 10 p. m. on week days on pain of immediate for- feiture of the bonds. In spite of these stringent regulations it is said that many persons are ex- tremely anxious to secure one of the two licenses for saloons in Pomona.

Biotin, Thick. At a Sunday school service, the other afternoon, a godly man, who had but one small boy under his roof tree, was addressing the scholars on the neces- sity of family worship. His own pre- cious urchin, Jimmie, occupied a con« spit-nous position on a front seat. Clos- ing his remarks, the preacher said: “Now, I have talked to you of fami- ly prayers, and I would like to know just how many families represented here have family prayers. I will begin with this little class right here in front, where you can all see them. Will all the little boys in this class whose fath- ers lead in daily prayers at home please stand up." All the little boys in the class save one arose. Jimmie, the preacher‘s lit tle boy sat still.——Indianapolis Journal. Extraordinary Memory. Hortensius, the great Roman law- yer and orator, had a memory of ex- traordinary scope and tenacity. _ After composing a speech or oration he could repeat it, word for word, exactly as. he had prepared it. On one occasion he went to an auction where the busi- ness was carried on during an entire day, and at evening, for a wager, he wrote down a list of the articles that had been sold and the prices, together with the names of the purchasers, in the order in which the purchases had bcen made.
