Says the Rochester Republican: “The annual sermon delivered Sunday morning by Rev. Sam’l Goss, at Grace AI. E.

You have no doubt noticed it and was puzzled greatly thereat.

She is merely practicing the proper walking pose, which directs that the chin must be “raised about horizontal, as if looking at the top of a carriage.” Preparations are being made for holding a celebration in Walkerton on the 4th, and the intention is to make the affair one of the most interesting ever held in this place.

The train was running at a pretty fair rate and the fellow struck the ground on his head and shoulders, but the ground being soft and muddy he escaped serious injury. The train was immediately stopped and backed up and reached the fellow just as he had recovered himself and was crawling up the bank. He was re-captured and taken on to LaPorte.

He says he is cured and has no desire for liquor, and would not touch it now even if lie did want It.

With the third part of “Omega,” the work of the French astronomer Flammarion, which appears in The Cosmopolitian for July, the reader is able to grasp something of the great purpose of the author. “Omega” is declared by those who have read the entire work to be one of the most remarkable writings of the century. While pretending to be a novel, it js ,a work having a deeply philosophical purpose, as is more fully developed in later chapters. It is something that no fairly intelligent person can afford not to read, and is surely destined to become a classic. In a recent number of The Cosmopolitan a story was published, entitled “The house of the Dragons,” which received wide criticism because of tbo . importance of the life problems involved. A daughter of Bishop Potter, who < was for some time connected with important mission work among the working girls of New York, Ims undertaken to reply, and dlscusßes another side of , the tpiestion in the July number.
