TAIMAGFS SERMON.

-41 HEALTH RESORTS." THE SUBJECT LAST SUNDAY. A Pool That Is Called la the Hebrew Tongue Ilethesda, llarlng Fire Porches, Where Lay a Great Multitude of Impotent Folk." John v., 2, 3. Outside the city of Jerusalem there was a sanative watering-place, the popular resort for invalids. To this daythere is a dry basin of rock which shows that there may have been a pool there three hundred and sixty feet long, one hundred and thirty feet wide, and seventy-five feet deep. This pool was surrounded by five piazzas, or porches, or bathing houses, where the patients tarried until the time when they were to step into the water. So far as reinvigoration was concerned, it must have been a Saratoga and a Long Branch on a small scale; a Leamington and a Brighton combined medical and therapeutic. Tradition ears that at a certain season of the year there was an officer of the government who would go down to that water and pour in it some healing quality, and after that the people would come and get the medication; but I prefer the plain statement of Scripture, that at a certain season an angel came down and stirred up or troubled the water; and then the people came and got the healing. That angel of God that stirred up the Judean watering-place had his counterpart in the angel of healing, who, in our day, steps into the mineral waters of Congress, or Sharon, or Sulphur Springs, or into the salt sea at Cape May and Nahant, where multitudes who are worn out with commercial and professional anxieties, as well as those who are afflicted with rheumatic, neuralgic and splenotic diseases, go and are cured by the thousands. These blessed Uethesdas are scattered all up and down our country. We are at a season of the year when rail trains are laden with passengers and baggage on their way to the mountains and the lakes and the seashore. Multitudes of our citizens are away for a restorative absence. The city heats are pursuing the people with torch and fear of sunstroke. The long, silent halls of sumptuous hotels are all abuzz with excited arrivals. The antlers of Adirondack deer rattle under the shot of city sportsmen. The trout make fatal snap at the hook of adroit sportsmen, who toss their spotted brilliance into the game basket. The baton of the orchestral leader taps the musicstand on the hotel green, and American life has put on festal array, and the rumbling rf the ten-pin alley, and the crack of the ivory balls on the green-baized billiard tables, and the jolting of the bar-room goblets, and the explosive uncorking of the champagne bottles, and the whirl and the rustle of the ball-room dance, and the clattering hoofs of the race courses, and other signs of social dissipation, attest that the season for the great American watering-places is in full play. Music! Flute, and drum, and cornet-a-piston, and clapping cymbals wake the echoes of the mountains. Glad am I that fagged out American life, for the most part, has an opportunity to rest, and that nerves racked and destroyed will find a IJethesda. I believe in watering-places. They recuperate for active service many who were worn out with trouble or overwork. They are national restoratives. Let not the commercial firm begrudge the clerk, or the e nployer the journeyman, or the patient the physician, or the ch'i.ch its pastor, a season of inoccupation. Luther used to sport with his children: Edmund Burke used to caress ht:s favoiite horse; Thomas Chalmers, in the dark hour of the church's disruption, played kite for recreationso I was told by his own daughter and the busy Christ said to the busy apostles, -Come ye apart awhile into the desert and rest yourselves." And I have observed that they who do not know how to rest do not know how to work. But I have to declare this truth today, that some of our fashionable watering-places are the temporal and the eternal destruction of "a multitude that no man can number;" and, amid the congratulations of this season, and the prospect of the departure of many of you for the country, I must utter a warning, plain, earnest and unmistakable. The first temptation that is apt to hover in this direction to leave your piety at home. You will send the dog and cat and canary bird to be well cared for somewhere else; but the temptation will be to leave your religion in the room with the blinds dojvn ii: 1 the door bolted, and then you will :-ori.3 back in the autumn to find that ii is starved and suffocated, lying stretched on the rug, stark dead. There is no surplus of piety at the wateringplaces. I never knew any one to grow very rapidly in grace at the Catskill Mountain house, or Sharon Springs, or the Falls of Montmorency. It is generally the case that the Sabbath is more of a carousal than any other day, and there are Sunday walks, and Sunday rides, and Sunday excursions. Elders ;md deacons and ministers of religion who are entirely consistent at home, sometimes when the Sabbath dawns on them at Niagara Fails or tne White Mountains, take a day to themselves. If they go to church, it is apt to be a sacred parade, and the discourse, instead of being a plain talk about the ooul, is apt to be what is called a crack sermon that is, some discourse picked out of the effusions of the year as the one most adapted to excite admiration; and in those churches, from the way the ladies hold their fans, you know that they are not so much Impressed with the heat as with the picturesquenes3 of half disclosed features. Four puny souls stand in the organ loft and squall a tune that nobody knows, and worshipers, with two thousand dollars worth of diamonds on the right hand, drop a cent into the poor box, and then the benediction i3 pronounced and the farce i? ended. The toughest thing I ever tried to do Tras to be good at a watering-place. The air Is bewitched with the "world, th flesh and the devil." There are Christians who, in three or four weeks In Euch a place, have had such terrible rents made In their Christian robe that

they had to keep darning it until Christmas to get it mended. The health of a great many people makes an annual visit to some mineral spring an absolute necessity; but take your Bible along with you, and take an hour for secret prayer every day, though you be surrounded by guffaw and saturnalia. Keep holy the Sabbath, though they deride you as a bigoted Puritan. Stand off from gambling hells and those other institutions which propose to imitate on this side the water the iniquities of Baden-Baden. Let your moral and your immortal health keep pace with your physical recuperation, and remember that all the sulphur and chalybeate springs cannot do you so much good as the healing perennial flood that breaks forth from the "Rock of Ages." This may be your last summer. If so, make it a fit vestibule of heaven. Another temntation hovering around nearly all our watering-places is the horse-racing business. We all admire the horse, but we do not think tbat it3 beauty or speed ought to be cultured ;.t the expense of hurom degradation. The horse race is not of such importance as the human race. The Bible intimates that a man is better than a sheep, and I suppose he is better than a horse, though, like Job's stallion, hi3 neck be clothed with thunder. Horse races in olden times were under the ban of Christian people; and in our day the same institution has come up under fictitious names. And it is called a "summer meeting," almost suggestive of positive religious exercises. And it is called an "agricultural fair," suggestive of everything that is improving in the art of farming. But under these deceptive titles are the same cheating and the same betting and the same drunkenness and the same vagabondage and the same abomination that were to be found under the old horseracing system. Long ago the English government got through looking to the turf for the dragoon and the light-cavalry horse. They found out that the turf depreciates the stock; and it is worse yet for men. Thomas Hughes. the member of parliament and the author known all the world over, hearing that a new turf enterprise was being started in this country, wrote a letter in which he said: "Heaven help you, then; for of all the cankers of our old civilization there is nothing in this country approaching in unblushing meanness, in rascality holding its head high, to this belauded institution of the British turf." Another famous sportsman writes: "How many fine domai ns na ve been shared among these hosts of rapacious sharks during the last 200 years; and unless the system be altered, how many more are doomed to fall into the same gulf!" With the bull fights of Spain and the bear-baitings of the pit, may the Lord God annihilate the infamous and accursed horse racing of England and America! Now, the watering-places are full of tempt Uions to men and women to tipple. At the close of the ten-pin or billiard game, they tipple. At the close of the cotillon, they tipple. Seated on the piazza cooling themselves off, they tipple. The tinged glasses come around with bright straws, and they tipple. First, they take "light wines," as they call them; but "light wines" are heavy enough to debase the appetite. There is not a very louz road between champagne at live dollars a bottle and whisky at ten cents a glass. Satan has three or four grades down which he takes men to destruction. One man he takes up. and through one spree pitches him into eternal darkness. That is a rare case. Very seldom, indeed, can you find a man who will be such a fool as that. Satan will take another man to a grade, to a descent at an angle about like the Pennsylvania coal-chute or the Mount Washington rail-track, and shove him off. But that is very rare. When a man goes down to destruction. Satan brings him to a plane. It is almost a level. The depression is s: slight that you can hardly see it. The man does not actually know that he is on the down grade, and it tips only a little toward total darkness just a little. And the first mile it is claret, and the second mile it is sherry, and the third mile it is punch, and the fourth mile it is ale, and the fifth mile it is whisky, and the sixth mile it is brandy, and then it gets steeper and steeper and steeper, until it is impossible to stop. "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." Whether you tarry at home which will be quite as safe, and perhaps quite as comfortable or go into the country, arm yourself against temptation. The grace of flod is the only safe shelter, whether in town or country. There are watering-places accessible to all of us. You cannot open a book of the Bible without finding out some such watering place. Fountains open for sin ami uncleanness. Wells of salvation. Streams from Lebanon. A flood struck out of the rovk by Mones. Fountains in the wilderness disrovered by Hagar. Water to drink and water to bathe in. The river of God, which is full of water. Water of which if a man drink he shall never thirst. Wells of water in the Valley of Baca. Living fountains of water. A pure river of water as clear as crystal from under the throne of Cod. These are wateringplaces afcessible to all of us. We do not have a laborious packing up Ivfore we start only the throwing away of our transgressions. No expensive hotel bills i.o pay; it is "without money and without price." No long and dusty travel before we get there; it is only one step away. In California, in five minutes. I walked around and saw ten fountains all bubbling up, and they were all different; and in five minutes I can go through this Bible parterre and find you fifty bright, sparkling fountains bubbling up into eternal life healing and therapeutic. A chemist will go to one of these summer watering-place3 and take the water, and analyze it, and tell yo i that it contains so much of iron, ard so much of soda, and so much of lime, and so much of magnesia. I come to this Gospel well, this living fountain, and analyze the water; and I find that its Ingredients are peace, pardon, forgiveness, hope, comfort, life, heaven. "Ho, every one that thirsUth,

come yeM to this watering-place. Crowd around this Bethesda. O you sick, you lame, you troubled, you dying crowd around this Bethesda. Step in it, oh, step In It. The angel of the covenant today stirs the water. Why do you not step in it? Some of you are too weak to take a step in that direction. Then we take you up in the arms of prayer, and plunge you clear under the wave, hoping that the cure may be as sudden and as radical as with Captain Naaman, who, blotched and carbuncled, stepped into the Jordan, and after the seventh dire came up, his skin roseate-complexioned as the flesh of a little child.

HEROIC RESCUE. Of a Drowning Man After a Hard Struggle. Chicago Record: With 4,000 persons cheering him on, Surfman William H. Batchelor of the Jackson Park lifesaving crew plunged into the lake, swam out to a drowning man and brought his safely to shore. Once the swimmer went down. When he came up Batchelor had thrown aside hi3 shoes and blouse, and, with a cheering "I'm coming." sprung into the water. He was a strong swimmer, and soon reached the side of the struggling man. He told him to turn over on his back. At first he refused to comply, then Batchelor spoke more sharply than before, and the man obeyed. Batchelor dove under him. and when he came up had the man on his back and was holding him with one hand. With the other he began to work his way shoreward. Every stroke was cheered by the crowd on shore. Five minutes and Batchelor had reached a point where he could touch bottom. Then began a struggle to keep the man from being killed by being dashed against the lake bottom when a big wave would strike and crush them down. Three minutes of hard fighting and Batchelor reached the stone sea wall, where willing hands assisted him to draw the almost drowned man to shore. When both were safely landed a cheer went up from the 4,000 throats that echoed and re-echoed far back into the park. The rescued man was William Johnson. A STRONG BABY. Keclnien on WliW-li One Infant Is Making Astonishing Growth. There is a doctor in West Philadelphia who has a son one year old, and this baby is probably the strongest hnman being for its age and weight in the world. Its father will hold a cane in his two hands, and the baby, grasping it, will draw itself up to it3 chin three times. That is but one of its numerous feats of strength. The physician says that his boy'ö unusual muscular development is due to a daily massage treatment. Every morning he lays the little fellow, naked, on a blanket, and kneads his muscles for thirty minutes. Once a month he weighs the baby and measures its calves, chest, arms, etc. The monthly increase of ""ight and girth are remarkable. The baby has never had shoes or stockings on its feet or a hat on its head, and in the summer it wears only a little sleeveless dress that comes to its knees. It gets a cold bath every morning. "If nothing goes wrong," the physician often declares, "this child will be one of the strongest men the worl l has ever seen. He will never get bald and he will never lose a troth. As for his muscles, with massage and a course of exercise that I have laid out, they will be big and supple all over his body. All his flesh will be, when tense, hard as steel, and when relaxed as soft ad the flesh of a ycung girl." I. osh of Hair Due to Mental Shock. In a Frenc h medical journal M. Boissier relates the following remarkablo case, which is an addition to the group of cases in which sudden loss of hair or change of its io!or followed mental shock. The subject was a vigorous peasant, aged 3S years, who was not of a nervous temperament beyond being slightly emotional. His hair was abundant, and a dark chestnut color and not even slightly interspersed with white filaments. One evening, as he was returning home, preceded by his mule, on which was mounted his son, aged 8 years, the animal slipped, and the child was thrown off and trampled on several times. He was only severely bruised, but the father thought he was killed, and in endeavoring to save him was terror-stricken. He trembled, and had palpitations and a feeling of cold and tension in the face and head. On the following day the hairs of tho head, beard and eyebrows commenced to fall in quantities, so that after eight days he was absolutely bald. At tho same time the skin of the face and head become paler. Without delay the hairs began to grow again in the form of a colorless down. Soon all the affected regions were covered with finer, more silky, and a more thinly sown, completely white hair. The hair of other regions was not affected. An 0l! Sea Dweller. The sea cucumber, one of the curio.is jelly liodies that inhabit the ocean can practically efface himself w!pii in danger by squeezing the water out oj his body and forcing himself into a narrow crack m narrow as not to Ik? visible to the naked eye.

TVAS NEAR TO DEATH.

TERRIBLE ADVENTURE OF JOHN S. FEE OF OHIO. A Voyage la Polar Seas The Experience of a Traveler 'Who Hat Recently Returned from the Arctic Regions lie Describes Northern Scenes. Mr. John S. Fee of Ohio recently spent more than a year in the Arctic regions, enduring all the hardships incident to such a stay in a land of ice and snow. Mr. Fee is a young man, possessed of excellent educational advantages, and has traveled extensively in both Europe and America. He talks entertainingly of the remarkable experience through which he passed while in the neighborhood of the north pole. He ?s a personal friend of President McKinley and Senator Mark Hanna, and a brother to United States Consul William T. Fee, who recently sailed for his post at Bombay, India. "When I think of all I have experienced on this voyage, I wonder that I am alive to tell the tale," he said to a reporter recently. I don't try to remember, but I am t'uing my best to forget the incidents of my voyage to the Polar seas." Mr. Fee sailed from San Francisco on July 1, 1S97, going north, and passed the Aleutian islands thirty-two days later. On July 25, the Bering sea was entered; nine days later East cape, on the Siberia coast, was sighted; on Aug. 18, passed through the Bering straits into the Arctic ocean. Herschell island, which lies in 73 degrees 30 minutes and 40 seconds north latitude, and about 142 degrees 20 minutes and 40 seconds longitude, was reached on Aug. 24, where the whaling fleet of fourteen vessels was met on Aug. 27. Three days later they again weighed anchor and were caught in the ice and fearfully jammed; there they remained fastened for four days, and then the ice, by the aid of strong currents and heavy winds, worked off slowly and carried them 1,000 miles to the northwest of Banks Land. There they lay five days for repairs, tied to the icebergs, and by heroic labors of officers and crew worked their way out of the pack. The return trip was then be-

gun, and on Sept. 15 they were again caught and frozen in. There they remained all winter, until July 24, 1898. After several days' drifting, they managed to free themselves, and were again caught in the ice pack, and for over two weeks drifted in mid-ocean. They again freed thmselves and on Aug. S managed to get in shore to Franklin's return reef, where Dr. Franklin was lost in 1S52. The ship on which Mr. Fee was sailing was in a sinking condition and unseaworthy, so all the cargo was transferred from the Etern and the vessel laid up for several days for repairs. On Aug. 16 they again put to ten and succeeded in working their way through the floating ice. At length the passage back through the Bering ea was made, and Mr. Fee found himself safe again in America on Oct. 13, 189S, less than'a year ago. Of the whaling fleet, the steamship Orca, one of the lint st vessels on the I'acilie coast, was crushed by the ice in September, 1897, and was sunk. Eight of the eighty-two members of the crew were lost. The Jesse H. Freeman was caught in the ice and jammed, and afterwards fired, that she might not prove a menace to navigation. Part of the crew took to the ice, which afterwards drifted into mid-ocean, w uich was the last seen or heard of t!-em. The steamship Navarch was uli-o lost, and two of her crew per-i.-hed. The steamer Ward I). Hume !!;v lies at Herschell island, unfit for service. Only one-third of her crew remain, the remainder having been lost or frozen to death. These casualties will Rive some idea of the dangerous experience. The privations which part of the men suffered can better be imagined than described. From their already scant store of provisions it was necessary to take largely to exchange with the natives for fur clothing. Without furs it would have been impossible for them to have withstood the cold, the temperature being most of the time from 70 to 82 degiees below zero. The United States revenue cutter Bear was Fent by the government with relief. By the aid of reindeer and dog sleds the relief crew succeeded in getting as far north an Point Barrow, but not to Herschell Island. The unique experience of Mr. Fee was the forty-day pe-

riod of total darkness when the northern lights appeared in all their splendor. During the remaining ten months there was perpetual day.

THE PRESS THE THING. World Fatuous Treacher Sees the Idea Newspaper Coming:. Here is an inspiration for a right ambition! If I were not a minister, I would choose to be a journalist. For surely no prospect for a life work ever opened up so vivid a picture of opportunity. There is an alluring fascination at the thought of the originality, the resourcefulness, the influence that may be found in a paper or magazine that has for its motto, "For a Better World," and for its purpose everything holy. What a magnificent opportunity to mark out one's own plan and develop his own campaign! "What endless possibilities to shape public feeling and mold private character! Oh, yes, I know the old pessimistic cry of Utopian! and visionary! and Impractical! It is not the first time I have heard practical newspaper men say a paper cannot be run on strictly Christian principles without going bankrupt in thirty days. Nevertheless, oh, ye future journalists, what a splendid opportunity is offered you to try running your paper or magazine on new principles as old as God, but applied in new places! WThat we do in the world is not worth doing, unless it is done to the glory of God. We have been created with different powers, and are called to do different things. But if each one cf us in his own calling works out the will of him who made us, the lasult shall be one result. The world is always ready to test what we do by its standard of "success." But eternity will test what we do by the standard of the "cress." DISLOYAL TO REPUBLIC. It is predicted that the French royalists will soon make another desperate attempt to overthrow the republic. On the idea of helping the cause of Prince Louis Napoleon it is claimed that certain assurances of encouragement have been received by the royalists from the czar of Russia. This has been denied, but many, nevertheless, believe it to be true. Prince Louis Napoleon, in whose favor his elder brother, Victor, some time ago resigned his claims to the French throne, is a great favorite at the Russian court. Prince Ixjuis was educated for service in the French army, but left the country when his father was banished. After a short service in the army of Italy he entered the service of the czar, being rapidly promoted to the post of colonel in the czarina's lancers. Some time ago it was predicted that the young prince would enter France and boldly demand the privilege of serving in the French army, if only as a private soldier. The time for striking the PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON, blow has not arrived, however, and the prince is still waiting the signal from his adherents in Paris. Lost II U Furl line. Trof. Nordenskjold, the famous Arctic explorer, has just lost the whole of his fortune. He was on intimate terms with the heads of the great Stockholm publishing firm of Messrs. P. & CJ. Bajer, which has failed, with liabilities stated at $1,250,000. Unfortunately, Nordenskjold is deeply involved in the speculations carried on by the firm. Some time since he had to sell the whole of his valuable geographical library, and now it is 6tated thai all his life's savings, amounting to $300,000, have gone in the crash.

t L May Accuse Widow of Marder. Peru, Ind., telegram: Henry Quick, who was arrested Monday evening on the charge of killing his brother William with poison, is in jail awaiting trial in the circuit court. He protests his innocence. Coroner Yarling will close the testimony as soon as he can get the evidence of Dr. Hurty of the state health board regarding the analysis of the dead man's stomach. Coroner Yarling says that the circumstantial evidence in the case is abundant and convincing, and he expects the state's attorney will cause the arrest of Mrs. Quick, the widow. The young woman is now at the home of her mother. Assessment liaised by Hoard. Indianapolis, telegram: The state tax board has made public the equalization of realty and personal assessments in the ninety-two counties of the state. It has raised this assessment nearly $0.000,000 over returns made by county board. In only two counties, Johnson and Jackson, were values reduced. The county boards raised values more than $26,000.000 over 1S9S. and thus the total increase will be about $32.000.000. The mortgage exemption law passed the last legislature will decrease this amount about $28,000,000. MnrritMl His Seventh Wife. New Albany, Ind., telegram: Napoleon Andrew Jackson Overall, aged S2 years, and Miss Gilley Amnions, aged 49 years, were married Tuesday morn ing in this city. This is Overall's sev enth matrimonial venture, and he is the father of twenty-four children. He has buried the i?ix preceding wives.none having been divorced from him.

They show of 3,47,577 acres sown to wheat last fall 397,044 acres were plowed up, and 3,030,933 acres were harvested. The average was but six bushels an acre for the entire state, or a little over 18,000.000 bushels, valued at about $10,000.000 at present market prices. This is the shortest crop in years. Vnited Brethren Conference. New Carlisle, Ind., telegram: Bishop Weaver of Dayton, O., was named to preside over the fifty-fifth annual session of the St. Joseph conference of the United Brethren, which will begin at Bourbon Sept. 13 and continue for one week.

Condensed Telegrams. Fred Warner, editor of the DanviKe Dispatch, in commenting on the sudden disapp.tarar.ee of Ed Hughes, night man of the electric light plant, made some remarks accepted by John Shelley as referring to his family, and meeting Warner on the street, he knocked him down with the butt of a revolver, and gave him a severe handling. Warner had no opportunity for resistance. The United Brethren church committee, headed by the Rev. James Shannon of Indianapolis, appointed by request of the Rev. E. W. Collamoore, of Northern Indiana, to investigate charges reflecting on his ministerial standing, has made a report fully exonorating him. The reputed authors of the rumors denied all knowledge thereof. The Rev. Father A. B. Oechterlng of Mishawaka has issued a statement, taking very strong ground against the proposed organization of an Independent Catholic Benevolent Legion. He believes that such an undertaking would be suicidal. C. W. Kronmiller of Ch.urubu.-co. who mysteriously disapeared several days ago, after floating, as alleged, $1,S00 in forged paper, was arrested at the home of a relative in Allen county, and he has been placed under bonds at Colum'bia City to await trial. Dr. J. II. Uarner of Lebanon, at the head of the chemistry department of the Bradley Institute, Peoria, 111., haß declined the chair of chemistry at Cornell University, the Bradley Institute having increased his salary $400 per annum. Mrs. Henry Cottcrman, 40 years old, o? Mexico, is afflicted with what is diagnosed as "softening of the bones." Recently she fell, breaking both arms, and night before last her left leg was fractured at the hip by muscular contraction. The Big Four Railway company will defend Brakeman Reed of the charge of murder preferred by William Ewing, who alleged that the accused kicked William Henry off a freight train near Terre Haute and caused his death. Henry was a member of the United Mine Workers, which is looking after the prosecution. Lewis C. Baker, of Lafayette, making his home with his mother, Mns. Helen C.
