The treasury report of receipts and expenditures fer May are fairly satisfacio»y. In March and April imports were greatly stimulated by the fear of retroactive duties. The receipts for May ran as high as those for the same month last year or the year before. The item of customs receipts shows $16,885,011. The total receipts were $29,-97,390. There was a surplus for the month of $688,667. The surplus in April, under artificial conditions, reached five millions, but the showing for last month is satisfactory when placed beside the deficit of over four millions in May of last year, and of nearly the same figure for the same month in the preceding year.

American manufacturers arc reported to be gratified with the increasing foreign demand for their products which, to an extent at least, couivtei balances the unsatisfactory condition of the home market for the same lines of goods. In 1S60 the total value of exported American manufactured goods was forty million dollars out of a total export value of three hundred and sixteen million dollars. In 1890 our exports rose to one hundred and fifty-one millions cult of a total of eight hundred and seventy-two millions. A remarkable increase was noted in the last five years. In 1894 the total export value of manufactured goods rose to one hundred and eiglitvthiee millions in 1896 the figures were $228,000,000. It is estimated that this year it will reach $267,000,000.

The first corn cob pipe factory in Indiana is now in operation at Indianapolis, but unfortunately for Hoosier corn growers the proprietors will import their raw material from Missouri. It is expected that 3,000,000 corn cobs will be annually turned into pipes at this shop. The Missouri corn cob is claimed to be vastly superior to all others for this purpose but for what reason is not explained. One hundred Missouri cobs will cost the proprietors of this factory jnore than a bushel of corn, but it is expected that the business will prove I very profitable. One Chicago jobber is trying to close contracts with various pipe makers to supply him with 1,500,000 pipes a day. The demand for the pipes is world-wide and America is the only country where they are manufactured.

The monthly statement of the principal articles of domestic exports, issued by the Bureau of Statistics, shows exports during May, 1897, as compared with May, 1896, as follows: BreadstufTs, $13,087,012, an increase of $2.686,r?8 cotton, $9,627473, an increase of $2440, 860 mineral oils, $5,362,282, a decrease of $487207 cattle and hogs, $3,479,651. an increase of $486,252 provisions. $10,592,1S3, an increase of $844,247. For the eleven months ended May 31, 1S97, the exports are given as follows: Breadstuffs, $177,823,607, an increase of $53,0/3,796 cotton, $225,932,816, an increase of $41,095,651 mineral oils, $56,077,892, a decrease of $108,603 cattle and hogs, $30,516,034, an increase of $1,462,238 provisions, $115, 997,322, a decrease of $171,312.

The New York State Capitol building at Albany has cost up to date $22,250,000 for construction—more than any other structure in America—and is not yet complete. Its maintainance coit upward of $100,000 a year. The building covers three acres. The national capitol at Washington covers four acres and has cost only $13,000,000 for construction. The New York capitol is a great building but in 110 respect approaches the National Capitol in impressive grandeur. The work was begun in 1867 and its progress has been marked by steals and jobs and shoddy work that has to be rebuilt until the average New Yorker expects to be robbed by State House appropriations for the remainder of his earthly existence and supposes that his estate will continue to pay tribute to contractors for unknown years to come.

The barbarian Weyler by his infamous decree compelling non-combatants to huddle together in Cuban towns without regard to their nationality or political sentiments, places that monster beyond the pale of further consideration as a human being, although the red tape of diplomacy can and probab.y will shield him from the vengeance oi an outraged public sentiment throughout the world. Practically this order was a sentence of death to thousands of people who had no part whatever in the struggle between Spain and the insurgents—death by starvation at that. There is no food supply in the towns and but little in the country, but rjral residents had at least the chance of all urban people to obtain a sustenance from Nature's sources, from wood and field and running stream. How long ir.U9t this reijjn of terror continue in that fertile la*id now laid waste has become an all--important question with many btisirsess men in the East and a serious question for the American people at Hrge. Just how a change can be brought about must be settled by diplomatists in the regular way, but there is little doubt that Weyler will De assassinated if any favorable opportunity occurs.

The old saying that "man is the creature of habit" has often proved to be

true. A forcible illustration is the habit many well-to-do people have of late years acquired of taking an expensive outing to the mountains or sea shore resorts where they become martyrs to fashion and make themselves miserable at their own expense, and a heavy expense at that. The homes of any of our moderately prosperous people in this day and age of the world are vastly more comfortable especially in hot weather than are hotels at regulation resorts. Change of air and scene is indeed a luxury for the majority of people, but moderation and good judgment will in this, as in most cases, prove highly satisfactory and remunerative.

Don't worn- yourself to death because you have a little money to spend. Take it easy and reflect that "your own vine and fig tree" is a very reliable comforter when the thermometer begins to break all previous records. By the way, it might be said, also, that thermometers arc creatures of habit. Their August antics are about as stereotyped and reliable as anything within the boundaries of man's observation. ,,

A CRIMSOX~C11APT\i\T\N TURKISH HISTORY The report of the American Armenian Relief Committee just published at New York sets forth Turkish atrocities and American charity in striking contrast and is a record of unparelleled crime—a crimson chapter in the blood-red annals of the Ottoman empire, that even the accumulated crimes of the centuries can not excel in horror It is practically useless for Americans to interest themselves in these horrible deeds in the far-off Orient, but as a matter of general information they form an interesting record that many people will peruse with, interest, with tears of sympathy and prayers of thankfulness that our lot is cast so far removed from such appalling scenes. We append a few extracts that faintly describe in figures the terrible crimes committed by fanatics in the name of Allah and of Mohammed His prophet: "Turkey's massacre account of helpless, inoffensive subjects, during only the life-time of many now living, shows that every Christian race and locality has in turn been scourged and brought low, as the Koran requires. The account is as follows:

Number

'I Massacred '... 50,000

Date f\acd 1822......Greeks. 1850 Nestorians.. i860 Syrians 1876 Bulgarians.. 1894-96...Armenians..

10,000

11.000 15.000 85,000

Total number massacred in seventy-five years 171,000 "The table makes no account of massacres with less than 10,000 victims, nor of the hundreds who are more quietly put out of the way in ordinary times. One hundred thousand have been slaughtered under the present Sultan, Abdul Hamid II, whose Armenian victims alone excced all who perished in the ten great prosecutions of the early Christians under the heathen emperors of Rome."

From Levi Bergholz, United States consul at Erzeroum, the report quotes the following: "I want to make an appeal, through you, on behalf of the orphans by the massacres of last year. A conservative estimate places the number at 50,000. Think of 50,000 children —and in most cases without a male relative in the world—thousands so young and helpless that of necessity they must die, but thousands that can and should be saved."

The work of saving these orphans is one in which the committee is especiaJly interested. The report says: "The rescue of thousands is entirely practicable. The orphan work is under the special protection of foreign governments, because it is carried on under the personal supervision of the missionaries and European consuls. In case of further outbreaks, which it is hoped will not occur, the children would be safe on the premises of the missionaries, where for the most part yiey are cared for. "The expense is trifling. While a less amount (as low as $1 a month in some sections), has sufficed to barely save their lives, $25 will now take one of these naked, starving children from the streets and give it food, clothing and in struction in a Christian home and school for a whole year. There are upward of 50,000 orphans, and the money thus far given has provided for only about 2.000, or one in twenty-five for the first year. The greatest care is used in selecting only those who are the most helpless, and at the same time most promising. Of course, this orphan feature of the relief work, at least, must go on a few years longer, for we cannot thrush these tender children back into the fate from which we have snatched them. "Money intended to reach and benefit the Armenian sufferers should in no case be handed to Armenians or others who claim to be lecturing 'for the cause,' but should always be sent direct to the proper authorized treasurer, who will promptly send a receipt. There is 110 objection to giving properly accredited individuals an opportunity to speak, or to reasonably compensate them for services rendered, but they should neither ask nor be ask-ed, to handle the money intended for the sufferers

The whole report is interesting. Copies of it may be obtained of the Rev. D. F. Greene, Andovcr, Mass. All funds should be sent to Brown Bros. & Co. bankers. No. 59 Wall street, New York city, who are the only authorized treasurers of the National Armenian Relief committee. yH

VICTORIA'S JUBILEE.

AX EAIITHIJY THIIOXK IN CONSTANT TOUCH WITH THE THRONE OK HEAVEN.

An Eloquent Tribute to Kngland'ft Venerable yueea-Dr, Talmagc'g Sermon,

Dr. Talmage last Sunday on the occasion of his third visit to the Chautauqua at Beatrice, Neb., delivered the following timely sermon to one of the largest audiences ever assembled on the American conti­

nent. Text, Esther 5:3. "What wilt thou, Queen Esther?" He said: The question which was asked of a queen thousands of years ago, all civilized nation's are this day asking of Queen Victoria. "What wilt thou have of honor, of reward or reverence or service of national and international acclamation? What wilt thou, the queen of the nineteenth century?" The seven miles of procession through the streets of London will be a small part of the congratulatory procession whose multitudinous tramp will encircle the earth. The celebrative anthems that will sound up from Westminster abbey and St. Paul cathedral in London will be less than the vibration of one harp string as compared with the doxologies which this hour roll up from all nations 111 praise to God for the beautiful life and the glorious reign of this oldest queen amid many centuries. hile Queen Victoria has been the friend of all art, all literature, all science, all invention, all reform, her reign will be most remembered for ail time and all eternity as the reign of Christianity. Beginning with the scene at 5 o'clock in the morning in Kensington palace, where she asked the archbishop of Canterbury to pray for her, and they knelt down, imploring divine guidance, until this hour, not only in the sublime liturgy of her established church but on all occasions, she has directly or indirectly declared, "I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son." I declare it, fearless of contradiction, that the mightiest champion of Christianity today is the throne of Eng-

or ales and her telegram was not the first to arrive with help and Christian sympathy?

men have made a bad mess of it. The most damnably corrupt thing on earth is American politics after men have had it all their own way in this country for 121 years. Other things being equal, for there are fools among women as well as among men—I say other things being equal, woman has generally a keener sense of what is riight and what is wrong than has man—has naturally morc faith in God and knows better how to make self-sacrifices and would more boldly act against intemperance and the social evil, and worse things might come to this country than a supreme court-room and a Senate chamber and a House of Representatives in which womanly voices were sometimes heard.

But as all of us will be denied attendance 011 that sixtieth anniversary coronation, I invite you. not to the anniversary of a coronation, but to a coronation itself—aye, to two coronations. Brought up as we are, to love as no other form of government that which is republican and democratic, we, living on this side of the sea, cannot so easily as those living on the other side of the sea appreciate the two coronations to which all up and down the Bible you and I are urgently invited. Some of you have such morbid ideas of religion that you think of it as going down into a dark cellar, or out on a barren commons. or as a flagellation, when, so far from a dark cellar, it is a palace, and instead of a barren commons it is a garden, atoss with the brightest fountains that were ever rinbowed, and instead of flagellation it is coronation, but a coronation utterly eclipsing the one whose sixtieth anniversary is now being celebrated. It was a great day when David, the little king who was large enough to thrash Goliath, took the crown of Rabbath—a crown weighing a talent of gold and encircled with precious stones—and the people shouted, Long live the king!" It was a great day when Petrarch, surrounded bv twelve patrician youths clothed in scarlet. received from a Senator the laurel crown, and the people shouted. "Long live the poet!" It was a great day when Mark Antony put upon Caesar the mightiest tiara of all the earth, and in honor of divine authority Caesar had it placed afterward on the statue of Jupiter Olympus. It was a great day when the greatest of Frenchmen took the diadem of Charlemagne and put it 011 his own brow. It was a great day when, about an eighth of a mile from the gate of Jerusalem, under a sky pallid with the thickest darkness, and on a mountain trammeled of earthquake, and the air on fire with the blasphemies of a mob, a crown of spikes was put upon the pallid an agonized brow of our Jesus. But that particular coronation, amid tears and blood and groans and shivering cataclysms, made your own coronation possible.

land. The queen's book, so much criticised at the time of its appearance, some saying that it was not skillfully done and some saying that the private'affairs of a household ought not so to have been exposed, was nevertheless a book of vast usefulness from the fact that it showed that God was acknowledged in all her life and that "Rock of Ages" was not an unusual song in Windsor castle Was her son, the Prince of Wales, down with an illness that baffled the greatest doctors of England? Then she proclaimed a day of prayer to Almighty God, and in answer to the prayers of the whole civilized world the Prince got well. Was Sevastopol to be taken and the thousands of bereaved homes of soldiers to be comforted? She called her nation to its knees, and the prayer was answered.

Paul was not a man to lose his equilibrium, but when that old missionary, with crooked back and inflamed eves, got a glimpse of the crown coming to him and coming to you, if you will by repentance and faith accept it, he went into ecstacies, and his poor eyes flashed and his crooked back straightened as he cried to Timothy. "There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness," and to the Corinthians. "These athletes run to obtains a corruptible, we an incorruptible crown. And to the Thcssalonians he speaks of "the crown of glory." and to the Philippians he says. "My joy and crown." The Apostle Peter catches the inspiration and cries out, "Ye shall receive a crown of glory that tadeth not away, and St. John joins in the rapture and says, "Faithful to death, and 1 will give thee a crown of life," and e'tse-

I believe that no throne since the throne of David, and the throne of Hezekiah. and the throne of Esther has been in such constant touch with the throne of heaven as the throne of Victoria. From what I know of her habits she reads the Bible more than she does Shakespeare. She admires the hymns eight duchesses and marquises, all ... of Horatio Bonar^ more than she docs cloth of silver, carried her train, and the Byron Corsair.

The majority of the vicious die in their thirties, and fewer reach the forties, and they are exceedingly scarce in the fif

But I invite you not only to your own coronation, but to a mightier and the mightiest. In all the ages of time 110 one ever had such a hard time as Christ while He was on earth. Brambles for his brow, expectoration for his cheek, whips for his back, spears for his side, spikes for his feet, contumely for his name, and even in our time, howmany say He is no Christ at all, and there are tens of thousands of hands trying to push Him back and keep Him

that woman would get the right of down. But, oh the human and satanic suffrage, and as a consequence, after awhile, woman might get into congressional chair, and, perhaps after awhile, reach the chief magistracy. Awful! Well, belter quiet your perturbations, as you look across the sea, in this anniversary time, and behokl a woman who for sixty years has ruled over tlc mightiest empire of all time and ruled well. In approval of her government, the hands of ail nations are clapping, the flags of all nations waving, the batteries of all nations booming. Look here! Men have not made such a wonderful success of government that they need be afraid that women should ever take a turn at power. The fact is that

Can the breath of a summer fan drive back the Mediterranean curoclvdon? Yes, when all the combined forces of earth and hell can keep Christ from ascending the throne of universal dominion, and cried out in regard- to the Messiah, "Upon Himself shall His crown flourish." From the cave of black basalt St. John foresaw it, ami cried, "On his head were many crowns."

The workl's best music will yet be sounded in His praise, the world's best architecture built for His worship, the

world's best paintings descriptive of His triumphs, the world's best sculpture perpetuate the memory of His heroes and heroines. Already the crown woven out of many crowns is being put upon His brow. His scarred feet art already ascending the throne. A careful statistician estimates that in 1950 there will be 174,000.000 people in the United States, and by the present ratio of uniting with the church 100,000,000 of them will be church members. What think ye of that, ye pessimists inspired by the devil? The deadest failure in the universe is the kingdom of satan. The grandest throne of all time and a., eternity is the one that Christ is now mounting. The most of 11s will not see the consummation in this world, but we will gaze on it from the high heavens. 1 he morning of that consummation will arrive, and what a stir in the holy city! AH the towers of gold will ring its arrival. All the chariots will roll into line. The armies of heaven which John saw seated 011 white horses passing in infinite cavalcade. I he inhabitants of

Europe, Asia, Africa.

The Conqueror ahead, having 011 His vesture and 011 his thigh written "Kings of Kings and Lord of Lords, and when He passes through the chief of the twelve uplifted gates, all nations following, may you and I be there to hear the combined shout of church militant and church triumphant. Until the choirs standing 011 "the sea of glass mingled with fire" shall sound the triumph in more jubilant strains, accompanied lv- harpers with their harps and trumpeters with their trumpets, the hundred and forty and four thousand coming into the chorus, I think we will stick to Isaac V\ att old hymn, which the 5,000 natives of longa, Fiii and Samoa sang when they gave up their idolatries for Christianity, and 1 would not be surprised to see some of you old he1 oes of the cross, who lor a life time have been toiling in the service, beating time with your right hand, a little tremulous with many years: "Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Mayor Hooper, was a member, I visited Niagra.

In going down one of the streets not far from one of the hotels Mr. Hooper entered what a"peared to be a combination eating and drinking saloon. Upon inquiry of the man behind the bar if he could get some sandwiches, and receiving the reply, 'Yes, how ninny?" the order was given for two dozen. Two dozen ordinary sandwiches make quite a pile, and when the bartender prepared this lot and laid them 011 the bar in front of Mr. Hooper, 110 wonder the attention of a half-intoxicated man was attracted, who, after having looked at the immense pile and then at Mr. Hooper several times, inquired of the bartender: 'Arc them all for him?" The bartender giving an afiimative answer, the man. not taking his eyes off Mr. Hooper, said: if a pony don't eat as much as a horse!" "—New York Tribune.

"Whereas ooQee is not a food at all, but only a nerve-fooling toxic stininlnut, Grain-O is a preparation of pure grains! palatable, nutritious and absolutely harmless. It is thoroughly satisfying, four times cheaper than coffee, acceptable to the most sensitive stomach and free from the constituents which limke coffee a damaging beverage.
