Boy*, be Ryifcmntlc. No great work was over accomplished Without system. Did you over stop to consider now much time is lost in this world for lack of system? A housekeeper will for lack of system fool away tho morning hours and dinner time comes before the breakfast dishes are washed, simply because half a dozen things are under way at the same timo, and no one thing accomplished. You sometimes ask a young man whom you know ought to have plenty of leisure, why he did not do such and such a thing, only to be answered j. “I didn’t have time.” Why did he not have time ? He was idling with a few friends, maybe, telling stories or what may be worse, doing nothing, and before ne is aware of it his spare time was up—it had been wasted. You have no idea how much work can be accomplished in a day if there is only system and application. A few moments work at a certain time each day on some special object will accomplish that object before the worker is fairly aware of it, and nt the same time will not interfere with the regular duties of tho hour. Every moment is precious and under some systematic plan can be utilized for business or pleasure. The merchant who does business in a slip-shod way is not the man who succeeds. The mechanic who only yorks to kill time and lacks system in what he does is the one who always plods along in tho same old rut. No matter how hard may be your work it can bo made much easier by taking advantage of every minute of time and systemizing your operations according to the time you have and the work on hand. Yon can’t let up on a job begun without danger of complicating affairs and increasing your work. You can’t attend to half a dozen different things at the same timo without slighting all of them. The only sure plan of success in life is to systemize your every action so that every move counts toward the ' object you would accomplish— Peck’s Sun. Are You in Poor Health? Write To-Day.

One of the lion tamers had a ijharp-tongued wife who was so insanely jealous of him that she kept the poor man in a constant state of trepidation. One afternoon she caught him talking to a pretty bareback rider, whereupon she secured a horsewhip and chased her husband until finally ho took refuge by jumping Into the lion’s cage and hiding himself behind the animals. 'Ugh! you miserable coward,’ she cried, angrily tugging at the bars, 'coine out and face mo if you dare!’”—Home Journal.

t s*• M ; --’ ■ ■ DR. TALMAGE’S SEKMON '*'* **—,i* ii , ..iiayiilf' BUSY WEEK IN SCOTLAND AND NORTHERN ENGLAND. Tho Text I* Taken from Holomon'* Bong. « Fair a* tho Moon, Clear a* the Sun and Terrible as an Army with Banners." Tho Glorious Marell. Tho week, like others that have preceded it since the beginning of Rev. Dr. Talmage's foro gn preaching tour, has been a very busy one. Indeed, Dr. Talmage can scarcely bo said to have had a moment's leisure. Services have been held at Edinburgh, Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Newcastle and Bunderland. The sermon for this week is entitled “The Glorious March," t£e text being from Solomon's Song vl. 10, “Fair as the moon, clear as the sun aud terrible as an army with banners.” Tho fragrance of spikenard, the flash of jewels, the fruitfulness of orchards, the luxuriance of gardens, the beauty of Heshbon fish pools, the dew of the night and the splendor of the morning—all contribute to the richness of Solomon’s style when he eoniea to speak of the glory of the church. In contrast with hfs eulogium of tho church, look at the denunciatory things that are said In our day in regard to it. If one stockholder become a cheat, does that destroy the whole company? If one soldier be a coward, does that condemn the whole army? And yet there are many in this day so unphllo-opbic, so illogical, so dishonest and so unfair as to denounce the entire church of God because there are hero and there bad men belonging to It. There are those who say that the church of God is n t up to the spirit of the day in which wo tive, but I have to tell you that notwithstanding nil the swift wheels, and the Hying shuttles, and the lightning communications, the world has never yet been able to keep up with the church. As high as God is above man. so high Is the church of God —higher than all human institutions. From her lamp the best discoveries of the world have been lighted. Tho best of our Inventors have believed in the Christian religion — the Fultons, the Morses, the Whitneys, the Perrys, and the Livingstones. She has owned the best of the telescopes and Leyden jars, and while infidelity and atheism have gone blindfolded among the most Startling discoveries that were about to be developed, the earth, and the air, and the sea have made quick and magnificent responses to Christian philosophers. The world will not be up to the church of Christ until the day when all merchandise has become honest merchandise, and all governments have become free governments, and all nations evangelized nations, and the last deaf ear of spiritual death shall bd broken open by the million-voiced shout of nations born in a day. The church that Nebuchadnezzar tried to burn in the furnace, and Darius to tear to pieces with the lions, and Lord Claverhouse to cut with the sword has gone on wading the floods and enduring the fire until the deepest barbarism and the fiercest cruelties and the blackest superstitions have been compelled to look to the east, crying: “Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banners?" Yet there are people who are ashamed to belong to the church of Christ, and if you ask thoni whether they are in such associations they say: “Yes, X sometimes attend the church,” instead of realizing the fact that there is no honor compared with the honor of being a member of the church of God. I look back with joy to the most honored moment of my life, when in the old country meeting-house the minister of Christ announced my name as a follower qf the Lord. You who are floating about In the world seeking for better associations, why do you not join yourselvps to some of the churches’ An old sea captain was riding in the cars toward Philadelphia, and a young man sat down beside him. He said: “Young man, where are you going?" “I am going to Philadelphia to live," replied the young man. “Have you letters of introduction?" asked the old captain. “Yes," said the young man, and ho pulled some of them out. “Well,” said the old sea caotain, “haven’t you a church certificate?” "Oh, yes,” replied the young man; “I didn't suppose you would want to look at that.” “Yes," said the sea captaiir, "I want to see. that. As soon as you get to Philadelphia present it to some Christian church. I am an old sailor, and I have been up and down In the world, and it’s my rule as soon as I get into port to fasten my ship fore and aft to the wharf, although it may cost a little wharfage, rather than have my ship out in the stream floating hither and thither with the tide.” Oh, men and women, by the tides of frivolity and worldliness swept this way and swept that way, seeking for associations and for satisfaction for the immortal soul, come into the church of Jesus Christ. Lash fast to her. She is the pillar and the ground of truth. I propose to speak of the threefold glory of the church, as it is described.in tho text. First —“Fair as the moon.” God, who has determined tnat everything shall be beautiful in its season, has not left the night without charm. Tho moon rules the night. The stars are only set as gems in her tiara. Sometimes before the sun has gone down the moon mounts her throne, but it is after nightfall that she sways her undisputed scepter over island and continent, river and sea. Under her shining the plainest maple leaves become shivering silver, the lakes from shore to shpre look like shining mirrors, and the .ocean under her glance with great tides comes up panting upon the beach, mingling, as it were, foam and fire. Under the wLebery of the moon the awful steeps iefee their ruggedness and the chasms their terror. The .poor mon blesses God for throwing so cheap a light through the broken window pane of his cabin, and to the sick it seems like a light from the other shore that bounds this great deep of human pain and woe. If the sun be like a song, full aad .loud and post'd forth from brazen instruments that fill heaven and earth with harmony, the moon is plaintive aud sad, stand is g beneath the throne of God, sending up her soft, sweet voice of praise while the stars listen and the seal No mother ever more lovingly watehed a sick cradle than this pale wateher of tho sky bends over the weary, heartsick, slumbering earth, singing to it silvery music while it is rocked In the cradle of the spheres. Now, says my text, “Who is she, fair as the mcon?" Our answer is the church. Like the moon, she is borrowed light. She gathers up the glory of a Savior’s sufferings, a Savior’s death,, a Savior’s resurrection, a Savior’s ascension, and pours that light on palace and dungeon, on squalid heathenism and elaborate skepticism, on widow’s tears and martyr’s robe of flame, on weeping penitence end loudmouthed scorn. She is the only Inatitut on to-day that gives any light to our world. Into her portal the poor come and get the sympathy of a once pillowleaa Christ, the bereaved come and tee the battle in

captives come, and on the sharp corners of her altars dash off their chains, and the thirsty came and put their cup under the “Rock of Ages," which pours forth from Its smitten side living water, sparkling water, crystalline water, from under the throne of God and the Lamb. Blessed the bell that calls her worshipers to prayer. Blessed the water In which her members are baptized. Blessed the w.no that glows in her sacramental cups. Blessed the songs on which her devotions travel up aud the angels of God travel down. As the moon goes through the midst of the roaring storm clouds unflushed and unharmed,and comes out calm and beautiful on the other side, so the church of God has gone through all the storms of this world's persecution and come out uninjured, no worse for the fact that Robespierre cursed it, and Voltaire caricatured it, and Tom Pa no sneered at it, and all tho forces of darkness have bombarded It. Not like some baleful comet shooting across the sky, scattering tcrrcr.and dismay among the nations, but! above tho long howling night of the world's wretchedness the Christian church has made her mid way, “Fair as the moon. ” I take a step further in my subject—- “ Clear as the sun." After a season of storm or fog how you are thrilled when tho sun comes out at noonday! Tho mists travel up hill above hill, moiintaih above mountain, until they are sky lost. The forests are full of chirp and I buzz and song, honey-makers on the log, bird’s beak pounding the lark, the chatter of tho squirrel on the rail, the call of a hawk out of tho clear sky make you thankful for tho sunshine which makes all tho world so busy and s) glad. The same sun which in tho morning kindled conflagrations among tho castles of cloud stoops down to print the lily white and the buttercup yellow, and the forget-mo-not blue. What can resist the sun? Light for I voyager on tho deep, light for shepherds guarding the flocks afield, light for tho poor who have no lamps to burn, light for tho downcast and the weary, light for aching eyes and burning brain and consuming captive, light for tho smooth brow of childhood and the dim vision of the octogenarian, light for queen’s coronet and sewing girl’s needle. “Lot there be light.” Now, says my text, “Who is she that looketh forth clear as the sun?” Our answer is the church. You have been going along a road beioro daybreak, and on one side you thought you saw a lion, and on the other side you thought you saw a goblin of the darkness, but when the sun came out you found these were harmless apparitions. And it is the great mission of the church of Jesus Christ to come forth “clear as the sun,” to illumine all earthly darkness, to explain as far as possible all mystery, and to make the world radiant iu its bright- ' ness, and that which you thought was ! an aroused lion is found out to be a i slumbering lamb, and the sepulchral I gates of your dead turn out to be the i opening gates of heaven, and that , which you supposed was a flaming sword to keep you out of paradise is an angel of light to beckon you in. The lamps on her altars will east their glow on your darkest pathway and cheer ! you until, far beyond the need of lantern or lighthouse, you are safely anchored within the vail. Oh, sun of the church, shine on until there is no sorrow to soothe, no tears to wipe away, no shackles to break, no more souls to be redeemed! Ten thousand hands of sin have attempted to extinguish the lamps on her altars, but they are quenchless, j and to silence her pulpits, but the thunder would leap and the lightning would flame. The church of God will yet come to full meridian, and in that day all the mountains in the world will be sacred mountains touched with the glory of Calvary, and all streams will How by the mount of God like cool Siloam, and all lakes be radiant with gospel memories like Gennesaret, and all islands of the sea be crowned with apocalyptic vision like Patmos, and all cities be sacred as Jerusalem, and all gardens as luxuriant as paradise, with God walking in the cool of the day, Then the chorals of grace will drown out all the anthems of earth. Then tho throne of Christ will overtop all earthly authority. Then the crown of Jesus will outflame all other coronets. Sin destroyed. Death dead. Hell defeated. The church triumphant. All the darknesses of -sin, all the darknesses of trouble, all the darknesses of earthly mystery hieing themselves to their dens. “Clear as the sun! 'Clear as the sun!” Further, “ Terrible as an army with banners." I take one more step in this subject and say that if you were placed for the defense of a feeble town and a great army were seen coming ever the hills with flying ensigns, then you would oe able to get some idea of the terror that will strike the hearts of the enemies of God when the church at last marches on like “an army with banners.” You know there is nothing that excites a soldier’s enthusiasm so much as an old flag. Many a man almost dead, catching a glimpse of tho national ensign, has sprung to his feet and started again into the battle. Now, my friends, 1 don’t want you to think as the ehurch of Jesus Christ as a defeated institution, as the victim of infidel sarcasm —something to b ’ kicked and cuffed jind trampled on through all the ages of the world. It is "an army with banners.” It has an Inscription and colors such as never stirred the hearts of any earthly soldiery. We have our banner of recruit, and on it is inscribed, "Who is on the Lord’s side?” Qur banner of defiance, and on it is inscribed, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against us." Our banner of triumph, and on it is inscribed, "Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!" anil we mean to plant that banner cn every hillI top and wave it at the gate of heaven. With Christ to lend us we need not fear. I will not underrate the onemy. They are a tremendous host. They come on with acutcst strategy. Their weapons by-all the inhabitants of darkness have been forged in furnaces of everlasting fire. We contend not with flesh and blood, but with rand powers iukl spiritual wk kedness in high pla ten; but if God he' for ua, who can be .against .ufa? Come on, y<e troops of the Lord! Fall Into line! Close up ■the ranks! On. through bumiag eaads and.ower trozon until the whole earth surrenders to God. He ' made it, he redesuaed It, he shall have it. They shall not be tnamnled with hoofs, they shall not be ent with sabers, they shall not be crushed with wheels, they shall not he cloven with battleaxes. but the marching, and the onset, and the victory will be none the less decisive for that. With Christ to lead us, au i heaven to look down upon us, and unge s to guard us, and martyr spirits to bend from their ! thrones, an I the voice 1 of God to bid us forward into the combat, our enemies . shall fly like chaff in tho whirlwind, and all th »towers of heaven ring because the day is ours. I divide this arny with banners into two wings—the American wing and the European wing. The American wing will march on across the wilds of the West, over tho tabb lands, and come to the ocean, n ■ more stopped by the Paotflo than tho Israelites were stopped by the Be l Sea, marching on 1 until the roma'ning walls of China will fall before this army with banners, and cold Siberia will be turned to the warm heart of Christ, and over lofty Himalayan peaks shall go thft army with banners until ithalt/at Palestine. The European wing will hiaroh cut to

I meet It, and Spanish superstition shall I be overcome and French Infidelity shall bo conquered; and over the Alps, with more than Hannibal's courage, shall march that army with banners, and up through the snows of Russia, vaster in multitude than the hosts that followed Napoleon Into the conflict.; And Hungary and Poland, by the blood of their patriots and by the blood of Christ, shall at last be free. And crossing In to Asia the law shall again be proclaimed on Sinai, and Christ In the person of his ministers will again preach op Olivet and pray In Gethsemane and exhibit his love on Calvary. And then the army ■ will halt in front of the other wing, the twain having conquered all the earth I for God. History telle us that one day the ‘ armies of Xerxce shouted all at once, and tho vociferation wae so mighty that tho birds flying through the air dropped as though they were dead. Oh, what a shout of triumph when all the armies of the earth and all the armies of heaven shall celebrate the victory of our kingall at once and all together: “Hallei lulah! for tho Lord God omnipotent relgneth. Halleluiah! for the kingdoms | of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ.” When the Prussian army came back frem their war they were received, in j 1866 at the gales of Berlin, and a choir stood above the gates, and as the first regiment advanced and came to tho gates the choir, in music, asked them what right they had to enter there. And I then the first regiment, in song, replied, telling over the Stories of their conflicts I and their victories. Then they marched in, and all the city was full of gladness and triumph. But, oh, the greater joy I when the army with banners shall come ■ up to the gates of our king! It will be choir to choir, music to music, hosanna to hosanna, halleluiah to halleluiah. Lift up your heads, ye ; everlasting gates, and let them come in. ; Then w.ll be spread the banquet of eternal victory, and the unfallen ones of 1 heaven will sit at it, and all the ranI eomed of earth will come in and celebrate the jubilee with unfading garlands on their brow telling of earthly conquests. All the walls of that celestial mansion will be aglittir with the shields won in victorious battle and adorned with the banners of Goi that were carried In front of the host, harp shall tell to harp the heroism In which the conSuerors won their palm, and the church rat day will sit queen at the banquet. Her wanderings over, her victories gained, Christ shall rise up to Introduce her to all the nations of heaven, and as she pulls aside her veil and looks up into the face of her Lord the King, Christ shall exclaim, “This is she ( that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners." And What Is Man? “What Is man, O God, that thou art mindful of him?” is the exclamatory interrogative of the prophet. Possibly he may be an entity of a little Importance to his immediate family and a few friends; known, very likely, unfavorably to a small number of microscopic fellow animate atoms. In our own country alone the 5,Q00 funeral processions every day tell the story of the vast throng of hurrying .shapes to the realm of Shades, the Unknown land beyond the shore of the Shining River. The span of human life is only a drop hi the shoreless ocean of Eternity. To speak of you, dear reader, even as b worm Implies no disrespect to you, and if it should chance to reflect unfavorably upon that dull and slimy creeper, what need it matter, for that vermicular entity, a center to itself of all earthly interests, can know no more about such a reflection than the world will know of you fifty years hence. For every worm beneath the moon Draws different threads, and late or soon Spins, toiling out his own cocoon. Man has been called “a god,” yet that did not make him one, and you, beloved reader, know that you are about as unlike a god as any other one of the millions of splinters of creation that might be Providence has allotted y<£. to do may seem big to your finite and very limited vision, but I know that age to age succeeds. Blowing a nols -of tongues and deeds, A dust of systems aud of creeds, and that Fame at rare intervals hands down a name to a few actors in a succeeding generation. And what is fame? A giddy whirlwind’s fickle gust. Which lifts a pinch of mortal dust A few brief years and who can show Which dust was Bill and which was Joe? A hundred years hence not more than a dozen men liling before the close of this century will be profitably quoted or fairly well remembered. A shadowy haze of faintly recalled names may now and then merit a passing glance. The “pinch of mortal dust" which then will rest in an unmarked and forgotten grave is the conspicuous man of this hour, and About him broods the twilight dim. The place he knew forgetteth him. The vacant space in this column, which yawned like the hungry maw of a crocodile to be filled, is now Ttill, and we have only room to end our musings, as they began, with the question, “What is man?” Figuring the Globe’s Age. The amount of lime salts in water which drains from districts made up of granites ami basalts is found by comparison of different analyses to be on an average of 3.73 parts in one hundred thousand parts of water. It is further assumed by those who take this mode of reckoning the age of the world tluit t he excess areas of igneous rock, taken on an average throughout all geological time, will bear to the ®xposuresof sedimentary rocks a ratio of one to nine. From these and other more complicated data it has been inferred that theelimi nation of the calcareous matter now found in all the sedimentary strata must have been going on through a ]>eriod of six hundred trillions of years! This, therefore, represents the minimum, age of the world. Geologists also conclude that the formation of the Laurentian, Cambrian. and Silurian Strata occupied a period of about two hundred millions of years; the red sandstone, the carboniferous, and the poecilitic systems another two hundred millions of years, the remaining two hundred millions of years befng taken with the formation of all other strata. Thus we are led to believe that geological time has been enormously in excess of the limits urged by certain well-known physicists, and that it has been ample to allow for all the on the hypothesis of evolution, have occurred in the organic world.

MRS. COLUMBUS. We Seldom Hear ot the Wife of Araertca'i Dlaeoverer. We have been surfeited, said an oldschool gentleman who was recently stopping in Chicago, with talk regarding Christopher Columbus, and schemes to have his picture and illustrated history of him, relics of his birthplace and of his wanderings, brought here and put on exhibition. This homage-paying to Christopher is proceeding on all hands with excess, and it is quite right and proper; but why don’t we hear something about Mrs. Columbus? Protiabiy but a few people nowadays ever knew there was such a woman as Mrs. Christopher Columbus' It occurs to me as particular!jHsingularthatin this day, especially when women are being accorded so much of pronrinchce—and largely by reason of their own enterprise, too—that upon this occasion the memory of Mrs. Christopher Columbus is permitted to be so entirely “out of IL” I have been reading up on the subject lately, and find that Mrs. Christopher Columbus was probably more deserving of a share of the credit of Mr. Columbus’success than have been most of the unknown wiyes of wellknown men. Columbus was married in 1470, o: thereabouts, to a Miss Palestrello, of Lisbon, whose father had distinguished himself as a navigator. A part of Miss Palestrello’s marriage dower was a great collection of valuable charts, journals and important memoranda. From childhood she had 'displayed wonderful enthusiasm on the subject, partaking to a marked degree of the speculative and adventuresome ideas and schemes in the line of geographical discovery, for which Lisbon was then the headquarters. She possessed a tine education, and was widely known as a brainy, brilliant woman, who was constantly urging her husband on in the path which brought him to the wondrous goal with which we are so familiar. While a girl Miss Palestrello made a number of hazardous voyages with her father in unfamiliar waters, and later made many geographical draw ings, several of which wepe used with great profit by Columbus when he bad won her for his wife and set out upon his more important wanderings on the great deep. He Probably Knew No Better. He was doing his best to be agreeable, but there was apparently something that displeased her. She walked along in silence, paying little attention to all the clever and pleasant thmgs he was saying. “Mr. Willis,” she said at last. a« pleasantly as she could, “are you afraid that I will get away from you?” “Why—why, no, Miss Mabel. What a question! Certainly not! I know of no reason why you should!” a “Perhaps, then,” she suggested, crowing a trifle more haughty, “you have been ill and are weak.” "No. indeed, Miss Mabel. I was never in better health.” “You are not afraid of falling?” “Not at all.” “And you need no support?” “None.” “Then I see no occasion for youi holding to my arm.” “Why, it was wither to assist you, Miss Mabel, than to—’’ “If you will kindly give me your arm, Mr. Willis, I can gain all the support that is necessary with less inconvenience and more grace. Furthermore, I shall not have a black and blue spot on my arm every time you think I need a little extra assistance. And the public will be more inclined to think you are strong enoqsrh to walk without support,” He offered her his arm. Had a Varied Career. The death in Puebla,Mexico, a few days ago, of Major E. V. Wilkes put an end to a caredir of extraordinary vicissitudes—a career that ranged in a few months from a tramp's lodgings to the management of a great irou industry and nalcyon days of splendo: and wealth. Provide to his arrival in Kansas City in 1873 he had been a soldier in the rebellion, a valued attache of the czar’s secret service at a time when he enjoyed the confidence of high Russian officials, and later a traveler of leisure through Europe, where he learned to speak fluently the French, German, Spanish and Russian languages. He appeared next as a post-trader among the Sioux, and reached Kansas City in a box cat penniless but full of schemes. A year later the major was rolling on a high tide of prosperity, the bosom friend of capitalists,with aline house, a handsome wife, carriages, coachmen, troops of acquaintances and all the trappings of luxury. Then the major passed out of view one night with a cloud"on his name, to reappear afterward as a machine shop laborer at Oajaca, Mexico, with wages of 90 cents a day. Again fortune smiled" on him. and his portly figure was clad once more in broadcloth, but death claimed him before, he could realize the full fruits of his new plans.—New Y’ork World. Why Bad are Bad. There is water a-plenty in the freshlaid egg, but no more air than there is in a hammer. As long as you can keep the air out of your egg, it will remain sweet and fresh, but nobody has succeeded in keeping it more than six days. It sounds funny, but the moment you give an egg fresh air that moment you ruin its health. People wonder why a bad egg is so positively obtrusive as to odor, but they shouldn’t. What do you expect of a combination of putreflecTalbumen, decayed cheese, sulphuric acid, carbonic acid gas, ammonia, and ultra rancid margarine set free? Honeysuckles? No Toxas in This Town. Chamaret, a small French town of about 600 inhabitants, has a windtai! which will forever relievo the dwellers on that happy spotot the burden of taxation. On the of an old miser being opened it was found that he had bequeathed 600,000 francs, the whole of his hoarded wealth, to the community. This will bring ina yearly revenue of about $5,000, sufficient, it is said, to defray all expenses of the parish. “ U" • ' ■ '* No man is as good as be looks when he has his wedding suit on-
