NEW VOM. H.V. Are Dentist Doctors! A good many American dentists have gone to Germany and have acquired large practice there. Most of these relying upon their diplomas, style themselves “doctors.” Complaint has been made against them and in a recent decision the courts have fined the dentists heavily, ruling that the title “doctor” does not apply to them. This has caused a good deal of consternation among the dentists and they ask themselves if they are not doctors. What are they? It is curious to note that this* cry of Irregularity is always made against a new thing and yet it may be said that the proprietary medicines have revolutionized the system of medicine. Now when the children are taken with 001(1, the mother does not wait to have it settle into a severe case, nor when they are taken with croup in the night is she obliged to wait and send for a doctor, getting him there many times when it is too late. Instead of doing this, she gets her bottle of Reid’s German Cough and Kidney Cure and pives the little one -a dose with the result in the morning that the children are well without any further trouble. This great remedy costs 25 cents for the small bottles and 50 cents for the large. .Get it of any dealer. Sylvan Remedy Co., Peoria, 111.

DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON. A LESSON DRAWN FROM THE THANKSGIVING SEASON. Dr. Talmage Thinks the Ancients Were Acquainted with Our American Carn— The Harvest, of the Year but a Foreshadowing of the Harvest of Earth. At the Tabernacle, Dr. Talmage chose for bls subject of discourse one eminently suited to the time following the Ingathering ot the harvests and to the thanksgiving season. The text selected was Job v, 20, “As a shock of corn corneth In In his season.” This Is the time of the year ior husking corn. If you have recently been In the fields of Pennsylvania, or New Jer- ’■ sey, or New York, or New England, or J In any of the country districts, vou know J that the corn Is all cut. The sharp t knife struck through the stalks and left them all along the Helds until a man came with a bundle ot straw and twisted I a few of these wisps of straw Into a band, p and then, gathering up as much of tlio f corn as he could compass with his arms. .. ho bound it with this wisp of straw, and then stood It In the field In what Is called ■ a shock. There are now at least two billion bushels of corn either standing in the shock or having been already husked. The farmers gather one day on one farm, and then another day on another farm, and they put on their rough husking apron, and they take the husk-ing-peg, which is a peace of iron with a leathern loop fastened to the hand, and with It unsbeath the corn from the husk and toss It into the golden heap. Then the wagons come along and take it to the corncrib. About corn as an important cereal or corn as a metaphor the Bible is constantly speaking. You know abo it the people In famine coming to buy corn of Joseph, and the foxes on tire running into the “standing corn,” and about the oxen treading out the corn, and about the seven thin ears of corn that in Pharoah’s dream devoured the seven tfood ears, and the “parched corn” handed to j beautiful Ruth by the harvesters of , Bethlehem, and Abigail’s five measures 1 of “parched corn,” with which she ■ hoped to appease the enemies of her i, drunken husband, and David’s descriph tion of the valleys “covered over with corn,” and “the bandful of corn In the i the ear,” and Christ’s Sabbath morning walk through corn fields, and the disci--9 pies “plucking ears of com;” and so I ” am not surprised to find corn husking t- time referred to in my text, “As a shock 1 of corn cometh in In his season.” B How vividly to all those of us who . were born in the country comes the re--1 membrance of husking time. We waited 8 for it as for a gala dav of the year. It t was called a frolic. The trees having for t the most part shed their foliage, the farmers waded through the fallen leaves , and came through the keen morning air to the gleeful company. The frosts, '* which had silvered everything during 5 the night, began to melt off the top of i- the corn shocks. While the farmers were } waiting for others they stood blowing their breath through their fingers or ' thrashing their arms around their body to keep up warmth of circulation. Roaring mirth greeted the late farmer as he crawled over the fence. Joke and repartee and rustic salutation abounded. All - ready now! The - men take hold of the shock of corn s and hurl It prostrate, while the moles and mice which have secreted themselves r . there for warmth attempt escape. The 1 withe of straw is unwound from the corn » shock, and the stalks heavy with the * wealth of grain are rolled into two 3 bundles, between which the huskers sits B down. The husking peg is thrust in un- . til it strikes the corn.apd then the fingers t rip off the sheathing of the ear,and there a is a crack as the root of the corn is snapped off from the husk, and the grain dls- , imprisoned is hurled up into the sunlight. J The air is so tonic, the work is so very ■ exhilarating, the company is so blithe f that some laugh, and some shout, and 1 some sing, and some banter, and some t tease a neighbor for a romantic ride - along the edge of the woods in an eventide in a carriage that holos but two,and ’ some prophesy as to the number of bush- . els to the field, and others go into comD petition as to which shall rifle the most 1 corn shocks before sundown. P After awhile the dinner horn sounds t from the farmhouse, and the table issur--1 rounded by a group of jolly and hungry . men. From all the pantries and the celr lars and the perches of fowl on the place I the richest dainties come, and there is carnival and neighborhood reunion, and 8 a scene which fills our memory, part ' with smiles, but more with tears, as we remember that the farm belongs now to t> other owners, and other bands gather in 1 the field, and manyof those who mingled , in that merry husldfeK scene have themselves been reaped as a shock of corn cometh in ityhirseasan. There is a difference ofßfpinfpn as to whether the orientals knew anything about the corn as It stands in our fields, but recent discoveries have found out that the Hebrew knew all about Indian maize, for there have been grains of corn picked up out of ancient crynts and exhumed from hiding places where they were put down many centuries ago, and they have been planted in our time and have come up just Indian maizo as we raise in New York and Ohio; so I am right when I“say that my text may refer to a shock of corn just as you and I bound it; just as you and I threw it; julst as you and I husked it. There may come some practical and useful and comforting lessons to all our souls while we think of coming in at last “like a shock of corn comoth in in his season.” It is high time that the King of Terrors were thrown out of the Christian vocabulary. A vast multitude ot people talk of death as though it were the disaster of disasters, instead of being to a good man the blessing of blessings. It is moving out of a cold vestibule into a warm temple. It is migrating into groves of redolence and perpetual fruitage. It is -a change from bleak March to roseate June. It fs a change of manacles for garlands. It is the transmuting of the iron handcuffs of earthly incarceration Into the diamonded wristlets of a bridal party, or, to use tlje. suggestion of my text, it is only husking time. It is the tearing off of the rough sheath of the body that the bright and the beautiful soul may go free. Coming in “like a - shock of corn cometh in In his season.” Christ broke up a funeral procession at '■ the gate of Nain by making a resurrec- ’ tion day for a young man and his mother, and I would that I could break up your sadnesses and halt the long funeral pro- ' cession of the world's grief by some ’ cheering and cheerful view of the last ! transition. We all know that husking, time was a I time of frost Frost on the fence; frost on the stubble; frost on the ground; frost on the bare branches of the trees; frost In the air; frost on the hands ot the i huskers. You remember we used to i the corn stacks so as to keep off the wind, but still vou remember how shivering was the bodv and how painful was the cheek, and how beI numbed were the hands. But after awhile ; the sun was high up. and all the frosts ' went out of the air, and hilarities awakened the echoes, and joy from one corn shock went up, “Aha, aha!” ahd was answered by joy from another corn shock, “Aha, ahal” So we all realise that the death of our friend is the nipping of many expeditions, the

freezing, the chilling, the frosting of many of our hopes. It is far from being a south wind. It comes out of the frigid north, and when they go away from u» wo stand benumbed In bodv and bunumbed in mind and benumbed in soul. We stand among our dead neighbors, ’our dead families, and wo say, “Will we ever get over It?” Yes, we will get over it amid the shoutings of heavenly reunion, and we will look back to all those distresses of bereavement only as tho temporary distresses of husking time. “Weeping may enduro for a night, but joy comoth in the morning.” “Light, and but for a moment.” said the apostle as he clapped his hands; “light, and but for a moment” The chill of the frosts followed by the gladness that cometh In “like a shock of corn cometh In In his season.” Os course the husking time made rough work with the ear of corn. The busking pug had to be thrust in, and the hard thumb of the husker had to come down on the swathing of the ear, and then there was a pull and there was a ruthless tearing, and then a complete snapping off before the corn was free, and if the husk could have spoken it would have said: “Why do you lacerate md? Why do you wrench me?” Ab, my friends, that is the way God has arranged that the ear and husk shall part, and that is the way He has arranged that the body and the soul shall separate. You can afford to have vour physical tresses when you know that they are only forwarding the soul's liberation. Every rheumatic pain is only a plunge of the husking peg. Every neuralgic twinge is only a twist by the husker. There is gold In you that must come out Some way the shackle must bo broken. Some wav the ship must bo launched for heavenly voyage. You must let the Heavenlv Husbandman husk off the mortality from the immortality. Thore ought to be great consolation in this for all who have chronic ailments, since the Lord Is gradually and more mildly taking away from you that which hinders your soul’s liberation, doing gradually.for you what for many of us in robpst health perhaps He will do in one fell blow at the last At the close of every illness, at the close of every paroxysm, you ought to say, “Thank God, that is all past now; thank God, I will never have to suffer that again; thank God, I am so much nearer the hour of liberation.” You will never suffer the same pain twice. You may have a new pain in an old place, but never the same pain twice. The pain does its work and then it dies. Just so many plunges of the crowbar to' free the quarry stone for the building. Just so many strokes of the chisel to complete the statue. Just so many pangs to separate the soul from the body. You who have chronic ailments and disorders are only paying in installments that which some of us will have to pay in one payment when we pay the debt of nature. Thank God, therefore, ye who have chronic disorders, that you have so much less suffering at the last. Thank God that you will have so much less to feel in the way of pain at the hands of the Heavenly Husbandman when “the shock of corn cometh in in his seasdn.” Perhaps now this may be an answer to a question which I asked one Sabbath morning, but did not answer. Why is it that so many really good people have so dreadfully to suffer? You often find a good man with enough pains and aches and distresses, you would think, to discipline a whole colony, while you will find a man who is perfectly useless going about with easy digestion and steady nerves and shining health, and his exit from the world is comparatively painless. How do vou explain that? Well, I noticed in the husking time that the husking peg was thrust into the corn, and then there must be a stout pull before the swathing was taken off the ear and the full, round, healthy, luxuriant corn was developed, while, on the other hand, there was corn that hardly seemed worth husking. We threw that into a place all by itself, and we called it nubbins. Some of it was mildewed, and some of it was mice nibbled, and some of it was great promise with no fulfillment. Ail cobs and no corn. Nubbins! After the„good corn had been driven up to the barn we came around with the corn basket and we picked up these nubbins. They were worth slaving, but not worth much. So all around us there are people who amount to comparatively nothing. They develope into no kind of usefulness. They are nibbled on one side by the world, and nibbled on the other by the devil, and mildewed all over. Great promise and no fulfillment. All cobs and no corn. Nubbins! They are worth saving. I suppose many of them will get to heaven, but they are not worthy to be mentioned in the same day with those who went through great tribulation into the kingdom of God. Who would not rather have the pains of this life, the misfortunes of this life — who would not rather be torn and wounded and lacerated and wrenched and husked and at last go in amid the very best grain of the granery—than to be pronounced not worth husking at all? Nubbins? In other words, I want to say to you people who have distress of body and distress in business and distress of ail sorts, the Lord has not any grudge against you. It is not derogatory; it is complimentary. “Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth,” and It is proof positive that there is something valuable in you, or the Lord would, not have husked you. You remember also that in the time of husking it was a neighborhood reunion. By the great fireplace in the winter, the fires roaring around the glorified backlogs on an old fashioned hearth, of which the modern stoves and registers are only the degenerate descendants, the farmers used to gather and spend the evening, and there would be much sociality, but it was not anything like the joy of the husk ink-time, for then all the farmers came, and they came in the very best humor, and they came from beyond the meadow, and they came from beyond the brook, and they came from regions two and three miles around. Good spirits reigned supremo, and there were great handshakings, and there was carnival, and there was the recital of the brightest experience in all their Ilves, and there was a neighborhood reunion the memory of which makes all the nerves of my body tremble with emotion as the strings of a harp when the fingers of the player have swept the chorus. The husking time was the time of neighborhood reunion, and so Heaven will be just that There they come up! They slept In the old village churchyard. There they come upl They reclined amid the fountains and the sculpture and the parterres of a city cemetery. There they come up! They went down when the ship foundered off Cape Hatteras. They come up from all sides —from potter’s field and outot the solid masonry of Westminister abbey. They come up! They come up! ' All the hindrances to their better nature husked off. All their spiritual despondencies husked off. All their hindrances to usefulness husked off. The grain, the golden grain, the Godfashioned grain, visible and conspicuous. Some of them on earth were such disagreeable Christians you could hardly stand it in their presence. Now in Heaven they are so radiant yon hardly know them. The fact is, all their imperfections have been husked >ff. They did not mean on earth to be disagreeable. 7 They meant well enough, but they told

yon how sick yon looked, nnd they told you how many hard things they had ; hsard about you, and they told you how often they hod to stand up for you In some battles until vou wished almost that they had been slain In some of the battles. Good, pious, concentrated, well meaning disagreeables. Now in Heaven all their offensivenoss has been husked off. Each one Is as happy as hn can be. -ivory one he moefcs as happy ns he cm be. Heaven—one groat neighborhood reunion. All kings and queens, all songsters, all mlllionalrs, all banqueters. | God the Father with His children all • around him. No “good-by” in all the ; air. No grave cut in all the hills. , River of crystal rolling over bod of ' pearl, under arch of chrysoprase, into ' seas of glass mingled with fire. Stand at tha gate of the granary and see the grain come in; out of the frosts into the sunshine, out of thn darkness Into the light, out of the tearing, and thn ripping, and the twisting, and the wrenching and lacerating, and the husking time of earth into the wide open door of the King’s granary “like as a shock of corn cometh in In bls season.” Yes Heaven Is a great sociable, with joy like the joy of husking time. No one there feeling so big he declines to speak to some one that is not so large. Archangel willing to listen to smallest cherub. No bolting of the door of caste at one heavenly mansion to keep out the citizen of a smaller mansion. No clique in one corner whispering about a clique in another corner. David taking none of the airs of a giant killer; Joshua making no one halt until ho passes, because ho made the sun and moon halt; Paul making no assumption over the most ordinary prcacherof righteousness; Naaman, captain of the Syrian host, more honored than the captive ma'.d who told him where ho could get a gcod doctor. Oh, my soul, what a country! The humblest man a king, the poorest woman a queen, the rneanes’ iiouse a palace, the shortest lifetime aCernitv. And what is more strange ab4ut it all Is wo may all get there. “Not I,” »ays some one standing back under tha galleries. Yes, you. “Not I,” savs »ome one who has not been in churc£ in fifteen years before. Yes, you. “Not I,” says some one who has been for fifty years filling up his life with all kir.ds of wickedness. Yes, you. There gre monopolies on earth—monopolistic railroads and monopolistic telegraph companies and monopolistic grain dealers, but no monopolies in religion. All who want to be may be saved, “without money and without price.” Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ for all the people. Os course use common sense in this matter. You cannot expect to get to Charleston by taking the ship for Portland, and you cannot get to Heaven by going in an opposite direction. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Through that one gate of pardon and peace all the race may go in. I do not know how you are constituted, but I am so constituted that there is nothing that so awakens reminiscences in me as the odors of a corn field when I cross it at this time of year after the corn has bean cut and it stands in shocks. And so I have thought it might be practically useful for us to-day to cross the corn field, and I have thought perhaps there might be some reminiscence roused in our soul that might be salutary and might be saving. In Sweden a prlma donna, while her house in the city was being repaired, took a house in the country for temporary residence, and sne brought out her great array of Jewels to show a friend who wished to see them. One night after displaying these jewels and leaving them on the table,andall her triends had gone, and the servants had gone—one summer night — she sat thinking and looking into a mirror just in front of her chair, when she saw In that mirror the face of a robber looking in at the window behind her and gazing at those jewels. She was in great fright, but sat still, and hardly knowing why she did so she began to sing an old nursery song, her fears making the pathos of the song more telling. Suddenly she noticed, while looking at the mirror, that the robber’s face bad gone from the window, and it did not come back. A few days after the prima donna received a letter from the robber, saying, “I heard that the jewels were to be out that night, and 1 •->me to take them at whatever hazard, but when I beard you sing that nursery song with which my-inother so often sang me to sleep I could not stand it, and I fled, and I have resolved upon a new find honest life.” Oh, my friends, there are jewels in peril richer than those which lay upon that ta'ble that night They are the jewels of the immortal soul. Would God that some song rolling up out of the deserted nursery of your childhood, or some song rolling up out of the corn fields, the song of the huskers twenty or forty years ago, might turn al! our feet out of the paths of sin into the paths of righteousness. Would God that those memories wafted in on odor or song might us this moment with swift feet toward that blessed place where so many of our loved ones have already preceded us “as a shock~of corn cometh in in his sason.” Pinzon. “This humble associate and patron of Columbus had no acquaintance at court, he was without title or rank, he was under no instructions nor was he under obligation to anyone,” says Isaac Bassett Choate in an article on “Colurubus and His Friends” In the October New England Magazine. “By an act of spontaneous patriotism he put his influence and authority, his person and the persons of his brothers and other relatives, the ships that were his own, — in a word, the material of the expedition—into the hands of Columbus, with the perfect understanding that the latter was lacking the means and the influence to bring the fleet together. In addition to all this he advanced on h|p slender credit almost half a million of maravedis, or, it may be, the third part of the total expense. If the undertaking failed, Columbus would lose some of the illusions of his life, which constituted the sum of his investment, but if he did not lose all hope he would soon be found again as at some court Pinzon on his part would sacrifice the half million without any hope that a poor foreigner, and one who was wholly misunderstood, would ever And means to reimburse him.” Uißßto In Brasil. In Para, Brazil, the residents are far less the descendants of the Portuguese than they are of the aboriginals (Indians) and they appear in every degree of mixture with the African and the white races. The inter-mar-riage of the Negro and the Indian racea has produced almost a new caste, and it is they who are in social ascendency in point of wealth, of political preferment and of accomplishments and individual power. “I cannot imagine why youahould discourage him. He seems to be a young man of steady habits’ “Yes, that is so, mamma, dear. And bachelorhood is one of them.” /'I:-'

Animal Muslo Loven. i Dogs find music trying, tind evince their displeasure at a particularly shrill note by lugubrious howls. Yet they are often taught to dance to violin, pipe ordrum. Cats have little natural liking for music; but the taste can be acquired. A certain pet cat though as a kitten indifferent to music, grew to like it and regularly led the way to the piano when tea was over. Hero she took post on a chair, and listened gravely during the ! whole performance. When it. ceased, 1 she would go to sleeo. A dog of the j writer’s acquaintance was not so appreciative. His master's vocal ef- ' forts were not calculated to inspire admiration, and Bruno became almost furious whenever the performances commenced in his presence. The expression “commenced” is used advisedly, for those songs were never finished, and, indeed, rarely got beyond the bar raised against the bars of the executant by the dismal howlingof that intelligentquadrupcd. The keeper of a menagerie was once asked whether the band had any effect on the animals. “To be sure it does,” said he; “they like it, and it does them good. Confined in show boxes, they degenerate for want of exercise, do what we will with them. But it would oe very much worse, 1 reckon, if it were not for the music. When they hear the band strike up, they rouse themselves, and begin taking what exercise they can, the beast of prey by walking backward and forward, and the others by repeating the movements natural to them when at liberty. The birds will begin to chaffer and plume themselves at the sound; and even the snakes, at times, will uncoil and rear up, and convince the peoplo, who sometimes seem to doubt the fact, that they are living Creatures.” . Wa,t. and Want A iroate of flesh and a want of dlxestlon. These go together. People who cannot assimilate the food they swallow must, of necessity, lose bodily substance. To remedy this, render digestion easy and thorough q with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a tonic famed the world over for its strength and fleshyielding qualities. Appetite and sleep are both Impaired by indigestion, which begets nervous symptoms, heartburn, flatulence, irregularity of the bowels and palpitation of the heart—the latter often being erroneously attributed to disease ot that organ. AU these manifestations disappear when the Bitters is resorted to. Malaria, rheumatism, liver and kidney trouble are effectually counteracted by this superb corrective, which is not only effectual but permanent. Hay and Forks. To put hay in the mangers or racks with a steel-tined fork is dangerous. A ’ safe fork may be made by shaving a stick of tough wood to the size of a fork 1 handle. Split one end into three parts and back eighteen inches from the end. ’ Fit an iron ring tight around the handle, 1 just back of termination of the splits. 1 Put blocks between the split parts to hold them apart as far as desired. Put small screws and pegs through the parts ■ into the blocks to hold them in place. 1 Make the parts round, round off their ' ends and the fork is done. i I Breeding. Breeding in and in may tend to fix the characteristics of certain strains, of families, but sooner or later the results ’ will be lack of constitutional vigor. ’ Those who adhere strictly to pedigree ' are better enabled to avoid in-breeding ' of the stock than those who do not. ; While pedigree of itself adds nothing to ’ an animal as an individual, yet It distinctly points to the family to which the . individual belongs, and enables the owner to arrive at a partial knowledge ot its ’ future performances.
