EquITalent to Writing Twenty DookS. r An energetic physician in Sn itzer land has been counting, by means of a pedometer, the number of steps taken by him in a year. The total he fitds to be 26,740 per day, or 9,760, 000 for the year. To discount this a newspaper writer comes forward .'. tbe number of words he has tten wihia the samts period. He ananaged to turn out 810,000. An ordinary book contains some 40,000 words; hence the labor of the news - paper man for the twelve months was equivalent to the writing of twenty books.- Chicazo Times-Herald. Gold Mine in a Well.

From the beginning of cycling in this qountry the makers have been its strongest belrarks, andto them is due the credit for the C ud position riders of the bicycle hold. To oh membere of the trade, therefore, we owe much, as it was their pluck and their money tWt have made for us our position. ~I . COL. Ma.T. . LOVELL ~Am'ong the men mno early felt the benefits of eyoling. and did not hesitate to expond money, Is Colonel Ben. S. Lovell, of Bost.n, Treasurer of the John P. Lovell Arms Com pany, of that city. Their firm name bas been a familiar one for over fifty years, hav ing been established in 1840. doing a sport ing goods and gun business. Being in a kindred trade, it was but natural that they should engage in the making and selling of bicycles. Their success has been unbounded as they have made a name for the Loveli Diamond Cycles that is a familiar house hold one in every hamlet in the land. It is not possible to have done that without cost, and a considerable one, too, as readers of current literature will admit, for have not all of us encountered the symbolic words "Loyel! Diamond' To estimate the gross amount that has been expended for advertis ing would be adifficult task.but it is said that considerably over $100.000 was spent by them during 18014. .All the big Eastern dailies -had e'ntire pages, which cost lots of money, and the magazines fied many pages exploit ing Loveti Diamond Cycles. Can It be wondered at, then, that cycling has become popular, when men like Colonel Lovell spend such sums to make it so? Colonel Lovell is Treasurer of the John P. Lovell Arms Company, and is a man of rare bbsiness attainments, nequired by long ex e nce and an aptitude possessed by few. private life he has won the respect and es teem of every one he has been brought in contact with, while his public record is equally good, on five different occasions rep resenting his town in the Legislature, serving - n both branches. He served on the staff of Governot Long for three consecutive years, and is now amember of GovernorGreenhalge's staff. He has been a delegate to four National conventions, and there Is not an office in the gift of his townsmuen which would not be at bin disposal were it not for his great business responsibilities.

HE PLEADS SELF-DEFENSE. rhe Proceedings Day by Day. The 3Main Point. SATUhDAY's PROCEEDINGS. In the trial Saturday, the main witness iras Chief of Police Michael, who did not reach the scene of the tragedy, but who tes ifed as to the causes which led up to the hooting. He attempted several times to lisarmShemwell during the morning, but ineffectually. At the trial previous to the killing, old Dr. Payne, whose head was ban daged as a result of a wound inflicted by a shot from Shemwell's weapon, during the irst shooting, said: "I will have to put on my glasses, as I cannot see out of one eye." Sfiemwell remarked: -I wish I had got the other." The witness contradicted himself badly during the cross-examination, but held firm ly to the statement above. MONDAY'S PnocEEDINGS. Baxter Shemwell was called to the stand. He said: ''I was 37 years old in March. Have been married since June 8th, 1882. I bought an interest intbeLexington Drug Company in January. 1895. Owned part in it at that time. Had made no threats against Dr. Lee Payne. We met in the barber shop Saturday night, the 23d of February. Had some words. After it was over I met Chief-of-Po lice Michael and told him something relative to the trouble and also told my wife when I reached home. "Monday morning early I was coming up street to my place of business. Had got five 'or six feet beyond Dr. Payne, Sr's., yard gate; heard someone say 'Shemwell;' looked and saw the old doctor beckoning me with his right hand and closing front door with left which was 75 feet from the gate. I stepped back ic the gate and put my arm on the gate post to await his arrival there;- waited until he came within eight or ten feet and said: 'Good morning, Dr. Payne.' He made no reply to my salute. but walked up near me and said: 'I understand that you drew a .istol on my son.' I si2rl: 'He put his bands to his pocket and Ijust did it to save myself; besides I thought that this matter was set ,tied.' Then he kinder turned a3 to walk back to the gate, and said: 'You are armed now, are you not. sir?' Said it twice. I never an wered but looked enraged at him. Then he caught hold of his coat and said: 'I can whip you myself. sir. Then I think I said, 'if you ;are going to whip me. come outside and don't stand inside and abuse me.' Then he threw up to me about practicing for my mother and making no charges. Something else passed. I can't remember what. Soon after I said I wanted you people to let me and my business alone. He then asked me: 'How are we bothering your business? I replied you had continually bothered Wheeler and ruined his business by cireula ' that he kept old medicines and substituted prescrip tions. He immediately shook his fist in my face and called me a liar. I had a cologne bottle in my hand. I reached over and struck him with it. He immediately pulled out his pistol and snapped it at me. About the same time I reached for mine, and just then Mr. Redwine stepped up and caught me and my pistol went off, shooting into the ground be low. Mr. Redwine shoved me into the street. About that time I saw Lee Payne coming from the office with pistol in hand. Then I dlon't remember who fired. first. I, re teating across the street, emptied my pistol and got behind a tree. All three of us did shotingr. I was about the middle of the strtet when I fired my last shot. Then I got behlr'd the tree. I heard either Mrs. Har grae. Dr. Payne, Sr's.. sister, or his wife say 'Come back, Brother Robert. and the other, who was standing In Dr. Payne's porh. say 'Run. Shemwell or they will kill you.' When I was leaving I heard Dr. Lee Pay~ne say 'Run, you cowardly cuss;' also saw; him go to the office and come back with a gun. I could not tell what kind of gun and I did run. Ithought he was stooping from iside of the fence as if trying to shoot me. . rememb~er telling Will Hammer to bring me a gun, after seeing Dr. Lee payne with a -gui. "I went over to Peacock's store and called for a gun, but didn't get it. Went imnmedi att ly to Redwine's. Got a bo'r of cartridges . Peacock's. At Redwine's I got a donolk barelled shot-gun. Said to nobody that 'y'trday I was glad that I didn't kill hime, bu': to-day I am sorry.' I went on down the st. eet from Redwine's, somewhere near Mrs. Adder ton's gate. Then I met my wife, who 'aid to me: 'You-are not going down there. If you go. I go, and if they kill you they will 1:l1 me. too.' 'MIes. Adderton came out, caught the lapel o! my coat. and said: 'Batster, be quiet. Ycu used to listen to Mr. Addertcn; now I wnt you to listen to me and be quiet,' I sad: 'They way-laid me and tried to kill me,' and then came on up the street. I did c say that I would kill them bo0th befo'-e niht.~ I came on with my wife to the- drug store. I did not dare the Payoes out of lhe ofle; did not see them in the office. ''I asked June Michael, the officer who came to me, why dlidn't be arrest the Paynen fist. He did go for them, I thick, and left them and came to me. I said: 'Have you disarmed the Paynes?' He 1:alled out the two pi~tols and said 'yes.' I went on inte the court house with Mr. G:-illth when I de clined to give up my pistols. I was coming out of the door of the grand jury room. He (Jutne Miehae!) asked me for my pistols. I tcld him to come and go to the drug sto:e atid I would place them there. I wa'ked back to the grand jury room with him. In tee I gave him one of my pistols. I raised the window ancd jumped out. he grabbing my cat and pulling it off. Then I wa'ked rtraight te the drug store. Ho brougiet may ?ost and also the pistol. and I pL't them in the drawer. After I ptut away my pistots I went to Griffith's offiee and then from th'ere back to the drug store where Muitebeae! came and showed me the Payne's pistols. Then I went into the court room for the trial, sittiug :ext to my cuosel, Robbins & Roper. We gave bomds for our appearance. The Pay"ne le the rcom at once, arter signing. They cooldI have gone nearly home before I l.efl. (I have no recollection of sayig, 'I w --ed i'. got the other eye'). I remar'ed to some wort men 'hat all wa.s over now. to get down to businese; went ak, got my pistols and looked over my m'ail. As I come back somebody met me and 'red to me a few minutes. Then Isteppe~l out, met ey-Stjerlif G:iffith and told him al.t w; ove:. I was going honme. Whek I came at on the street from the court heuze. the pynes r-e not j.a sight.

"About that time I was a step ahead of the old doctor, and about even with the young doctor. As I got aheadl of the old doctor, voung Dr. Payne immediately drew a pistol. I stopped to grab for mine. T'be old doctor grbed me by the arm, shoved me out in the street beyond the ditc:h. I stumbled and liked to have fell. Heshoved me beyond the ditch. I jerked my left hand loose, jerked ie other loose, got'my pistol out and looked and shot at Dr. Lee Payne. He (Dr. Lae) was running arotmd t rying to shoot me as th. old doctor shoved me back. Just. as I shot the old doctor grabbed at me a sec'on I time and got shot. I grabbed (Lee) Payne's beard and fell, the old doctor falling on top. Somebody came up and I hollered take bimte off. Di'n't know that the old doct-or was shot. As we were pulled up the old doctor had my coat. I said: "Take him loose. andl !rid to loosen him, when he turned loom. lie sasgered and fell.

A special excursion train erushed into an- I other train of the same kind precedin.: it r and killed some twenty people. whil: thet wounded are numbere:d in the= viinity o~f two score. The trains that came in collision ws-'re special excursion trains filled with pilgrims en route from .Sherbrooke.

The first train reached Craig's Road sta Ition, which is fourteen miles west of Levis. about 3 o'clock. and stopped at the tank to tak'3 water. Due precautions were taken and the semaphore thrown to danger signal for the following train. Only the trainm-a were out and about attending to their duties. The Pullman in the rear was wrapped in 'i lence and the sleepers were unaware of thme terrible late that was rushing upon them. Suddenly there was a great crash-thes ond train coming at full speed had dashed into the rear Pullman of the first section. Every berth in the Pullman wvas wrecked and some of the occupants wvho were killed. ne'.'sr knew what happened to them. They (lied sleeping. Others awoke to their horrible surroundings and p)ostion. maimed. bleed ing and bruised, conscious of little els;e but the agony that raeked them. It was~ an axw ful scene.

They have their ensure s isanks that never break and will .millionaires forever. But I thought it ould be appropriate to-day and useful for e to talk about the trials and temptations our business men and try to offer some rative preseriptions. In the first plate, I havo to remark that a -eat many of our business men feel ruinous ials and temptations coming to them from aill and limite I capital in business. It Is 1.rywhere understood that it now takes tr or four times a, much to do business ell than it onco did. Once a few hundred llars were turned ints goods. The mer munt would be his own storekeeper, his own desman, his own hookkeeper. He would anage al the affairs himself, and every inz woul.l be net profit. Wonderful minges have come. Costly dpparatus; exz naive advertisinv, exorbitant stord rents: 1avy taxation, expensivo agencies are only irts of the demand made upon our com; ercial men; and when they have found iemsolves in such circumitances with small Lpital they have sometimes been tempted tq in against the rocks of moral and financial struction. This temptation of limited tpital has ruined men in two ways. Some mes they have shrunk down under the mptation. They have yielded the battle fore the first shot was fired. At the first Rrd dun they surren-lered, Thdr kneos nocked together at the fall Mi the aition r's harmmer. They blanched at the finan4 al peril. They did not Understatid that xere is such a thing as heroism in ierchan: ise and that there are Waterloos of the :unter and that a man can fight no braver attle with the sword than he can with the rdstiek. Their souls melted in them be Lse sugars were up when they wanted to y au-1 dowa when they wanted to sell. and nalable goods were on the. shelf and d debts in their lelger. Tho gloom of ieir countenanees overshadowed even their ry goods and groceries. IlespondencV, ming from limited capital, blasted the. thers have felt it in h different way. They ave said: "Here. I have been trudging long. I have been trying to b3 honest all ise years. I find it is of no use. Now it i make or break."

The drea-ns are arrowed by imaginary loss and flushedl tith imaginary gains. Even the Sitb 'ath cannot dam back the tide of anxiety, or this wave of worldliness dashes clear ver the churches and leaves its foa'n on ibles and prayer books.

There had been agreat disaster there. He opene.l the front door and said in the midst of his family circle: "I am ruined. Everything is gone. I am all ruined." His wife said, "I am left," and the little child threw up its hands and said, ".Papa, I am ~ere." The aged grandmother, seated in the room, said,'"Then you have all the prom ises of God beside, John." And he burst In to tears and said: "God forgive me that I have been so ungrateful! I find I have a great many things left. God forgive me!" Again, I remark that many of our business ren are tempted to neglect their home rluties. How often it is that the store and bome clash, but there ought not to be any ollision. It is often the case that theafather isthe mere treasurer of the family, a sort of gro-eries. ine worx or ramlly government he does not touch. Once or twice in a year he calls the children up on a Sabbath after noon, when he has a half hour he does not exactly know what to do with, and in that half hour be disciplines the children and chides them and corrects their faults and gives them a great deal of good advice. and then wonders all the rest of the year that his )hildren do not do better when they have the wonderful advantage of that semi-annual :astigation. The family table, which ought to be the place for pleasant discussion And cheerful aess. often becomes the place of perilous xxpedition. If there be any blessing asked ,t all, it is cut off at both ends and with the mand'on the carving knife. He counts on his fingers, making estimates in the inter tices of the repast. The work done, the hat toes to the head, and he starts down the street, and before the amily have arisen !rom the table he has bound up another bundle of goods and says to the customer, 'Anything more I cando for you to-day, ir?" A man has more responsibilities than those which are disebarged by pitting com Detent instructors over his children and giv ng them a drawing master and a mtisic tacher. The physical culture of the child Prill not be attended to unless the 'ather looks to it. He must some Imes lose his dignity. He must unlim >er his joints. He must sometimes lead :hern out to their sports and games. Tue parent who cannot forget the severe duties >f life sometimes, to fly the kite and trundle the hoop and chase the ball and jump the .ope with his children, ought never to have ceen tempted out of a crusty and uinredeem tble solitariness, If you want to keep your :hildren away from places of sin you can nly do it by making your home attractive, koti ma preich sermonis and advocate re forms and deiounceo wickedness, an-1 yet your children will b- captivated by tbe glit iering saloon of sin unless you cani mr e your home a brighter place than arv ether place on earth to them. Ob. gather all charms into your house. If you can afford it, briug boo's anl pic tures and cheerful entertainments to the household. But above all teac' those children, not by half an hour tvcc a year on the Sabbath day, but day after .lay and every day teach theta that religion is a great gladness; that it throws chains of gol: aboift the acck; that it take3 no spring from the foot, no blithedess frotm the heart, no sparkle from the eye, no ring fro" the laugh ter, but that "her ways are ways of plezttant ness, and ;Ill her paths are peace." I sympa ihize *ith the work being done in many of our cities by *hicUl b1tutifil room,_% are set anart by our Youn MIen's Christtianescia tIons, ana I pray God to prosper them in all things. But I tell you there is something back of that and before that. We need more happy, consecrated, cheerful Christian homes everywhere. Again I remark that a great many of our business men are terapted to put the attain rient Of money above the value of the soul. It is d graid thing to have plenty of money. The moie you get of it the better, if it como honesty and go usefully. For the lack of it sickness dies without medicine, and -hunger finds it coffin in the empty bread tray, and nakedness shivers for lack of clothes and fire. When I hear a man in canting tirade against money-a Christian man-as though it had no possible use on earth and he had no in terest in it at all, I come almost to think that the heaven that would be appropriate for him would be an everlasting poorhouse. While, my friends, We do admit there is such a thing as the lawful usc of money -a profitable use of money-let Its rec ognize also the fact that money cannot satis f_ a man's soul; that it cannot glitter in the dark valley; that It cannot pay our fare cross the Jordan of death; that it cannot Unlock the gate of heaven. There are men ii all occupations who seemto act as though they thought that a pack of bonds and mort gages could be traded off for a title to heaven and as though ggld would be a law ful tender in that place where it is so com mon that they make pavements out of, It. alvation by Christ is the only salvation_. Tresttres in heaven are the only incorrupti ble treasures. Have you ever ciphered out in the rule of loss and gain the sum, "What shalt It profit amn if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" However fine your apparel, the winds of death will flutter it like rags. Home puta and a threadbare coat have sometimes been the shadow of coming robes made white in the blood of the Lamb.: The pearl of great price is worth more than any gem you can bring from the ocean, than Australian or Brazilian mines strung in one careanet. Seek after God, find His righteousness, and all shall be welt here--all shalt be well here after. Some of you remember the shipwreck of the Central America. That noble ship had, I think, about 500 passengers aboard. Sud denly the storm came, and the surges tramped the decks and swung into the hatches, and there went up a hundred voiced death shriek, The foam on the jaw of the wave. The pitching of the steamer as though It were leaping a mountain. The dismal flare of the signal rockets. The long cough of t be steam pipes. The hiss of extinguished furnaces. The walking of Go d on the wave! The steamer went not down without a strug gle. As the passengers stationed themselves in rows to bail out the vessel, hark to the thump of the buckets, as men unused to toil, with blistere I hands and straine~l muscle, tug for their lives. There is~ a sail seen against the sky. The flash of the distress gun is noticed; its voie heard not, for it is choke1 in the louder booming of the sea. A few passengers escaped, but the steamer gave one great lureh anti was gone! So there are so'unt men who sail o2 prosperously in life. All's well, all's well. But at last some financial disatster comes-:1 euro clydon. Down the~y g >! Ti-: botto-n of th~e comnmer cil sea is strewa with shattere~l hulks. But becauso your ".roperty goes do not let your soi go. Though all else perish, save that, for I have to tell you of a more stupenloius shipwreck than that which I just mentio' Il. God launched this world 600) years a;'. It has been going on under freight of mun tains and im'nortils, but on1 day it will stagger at the cry of fire. The timbers of rock will burn, the mountains fla-ne like masts, and the clouds like sails in the judgment hurricane. Then G>1 shall take the passengers oli the den'. ani fromn the berths those who have long bee2 asleep in Jesus, and He will set them far beyond the Ireach'of storm and peril. Bat how many shall go down will never b3 known until it shall be announced one day in heaven. The shipwrck of a worl.! S> many millions save:P! So many millions drowned! Oh, my dear hearers, whatevrs you lose, though your houses go, thoug'a your lands go, though all your earthly possessions perish. may God Almighty, through the blood of the overlasting covenant, save nil your souls! How a BullIrog Bellows. "Do yo know how a bullfrog lee lows?" said ex-Magistrate Camp last night as he spread out his legs and joined in the conversation of the side walk group in front of the Willard Hotel. "Now, most people think that when a bullfrog bellows he is laying upon a big log or rock just blowinag off. That's not so. When a bullfrog bellows he is lying flat out on the water, this way," and the speaker spread out his broad palm. "I've seen 'em. You know he has a sor t of wat tle under his throat. Wecll, he fills that about half full of watey and blows out the air through it. You've all put water in a bottle and then blown into it?" There was no response, bat Mr. Camp continued : "You know ho w that sounds. Well a frog bellows in that same way, and it sounds jast like blowing in a bottle partly fillied with water. Just this way," and the speaker expanded his own "wattle" and gave an imitation so natural as to alarm the cook in the hotel kitchen. "Do you know where a frog's teeth ar?" continued 'd3quire Camp, en couraged by the absence of argument. "In his stomach?" somnelo ly sug g'ested. "No. A frog's teeth," resomed 'Squire Camp, impressively, "are just about the middle of his backbone, be tween his hind and fore legs."-Louis yle Courier-Journal.
