BUSINESS LIFE, LAST DAY'S SUBJECT. SUNA Lecture in Common Ifouefty "Not Slothful In Husluess; Fervent li Spirit; Serving the Lord" Kom. 12:11.

(Copyright 1S0D by Louis Klopsch.) Industry, devoutness and Christian service all commended in that short text. What! is it possible that they shall be conjoined? Oh, yes. There is no war between religion and business, between ledgers and Bibles, between churches and country houses. On the contrary, religion accelerates business, sharpens men's wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition, fillips the blood of phlegmatics, and throws more velocity into the wheels of hard work. It gives better balancing to the judgment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry, and throws into enthusiasm a more consecrated fire. You cannot in all the circle of the world show me a man whose honest business has been despoiled by religion. The industrial classes are divided into three groups: producers, manufacturers, traders. Producers, such as farmers and miners. Manufacturers, such as those who turn corn into food, and wool and flax into apparel. Traders, such as make profit out of the transftr and exchange of all that which is produced and manufactured. A business man may belong to any one or all of these classes, and not one is independent of any other. "When the Prince Imperial of France fell on the Zulu battlefield because the strap fastening the stirrup to the saddle broke as he clung to it, his comrades all escaping, but he falling under the lances o! ihe savages, a great many people blamed the Empress for allowing her son to go forth into that battlefield, and other blamed the English government for accepting the sacrifice, and other blamed the Zulus for their barbarism. The one most to blame was the harnessmaker who fashioned that strap of the stirrup out of shoddy and imperfect material as it was found to have been afterward. If the strap had held, the Prince Imperial would probably have been alive today. But the strap broke. No prince independent of a harnessmaker! High, low, wise, ignorant, you in one occupation, I in another, all bound together. So that there must be one continuous line of sympathy with each other's work. But whatever your vocation, if you have a multiplicity of engagements, if into your life there come losses and annoyances and perturbations as well as percentages and dividends, if you are pursued from Monday morning until Saturday night, and from January to January by inexorable obligation and duty, then you are a business man, or you are a business woman, and my subject is appropriate to your case. Traders in grain come to know something about foreign harvests; traders in fruit come to know something about the pro.- ects of tropical production; manufacturers of American goods come to understand the tariff on Imported articles; publishers of books must come to understand the new law of copyright; owners of ships must come to know winds and shoals and navigation; and every bale of cotton, and every raisin cask, and every tea box and every cluster of bananas is so much literature for a business man. Now, my brother, what are you going to do with the intelligence? Do you suppose God put you in this school of information merely that you might be sharper in a trade, that you might be more successful as a worldling? Oh, no; it was that you might take that useful information and use it for Jesus Christ. Can it be that you have been dealing with foreign lands and never had the missionary spirit, wishing the salvation of foreign people? Can it be that you have become acquainted with all the outrages inflicted in business life and that you have never tried to bring to bear that Gospel which is to extirpate all evil and correct all wrongs and illumine all darkness and lift up all wretchedness and save men for this world and the world to come? Can it be that understanding all the intricacies of business you know nothing about thoe things which will last after ail bills of exchange and consignments ai d invoices and rent rolls shall have crumpled up and been consumed in the fires of the last great day? Can it be that a man will be wise for time and a fool for eternity? I remark, also, that business life is a school for integrity. No man knows what he will do until he is tempted. There are thousands of men who have kept their integrity merely because they never have been tested. A man was elected treasurer of the State of Maine some years ago. He was distinguished for his honesty, usefulness and uprightness, but before one year had passed he had taken of the public funds for his own private use, and was hurled out of office in disgrace. Distinguished for virtue before. Distinguished for crime after. You can call over the names of men just like that, in whose honesty you had complete confidence, but placed in certain crises of temptation they went overboard. Never so many temptations to scountfrelism as now. Not a law on the statute book but has some back door through which a miscreant can escape. Ah! how many deceptions in the fabric of goods; so much plundering in commercial lifo that if a man talk about living a life of complete commercial integrity there are those who ascribe it to greenness and lack of tact. More need of honesty now than ever before, tried honesty, complete honesty, more than in those times when business was a plain affair and woolens were woolrns, and silks were silks and men were men. How many men do you suppose there are in commercial life who could say truthfully, "In all the sales I have fever made I have never overstated the valu! of goods; in all the sales I have ever made I have never covered up an imperfection in the fabric; cf all the thousands of dollars I have ever made I have not taken one dishonest farthing?" There are men, howe?er, who can say it, hundreds who

can say it, thousands who can say it. Thoj are more honest than when they sold their first tierce of rice, or their first firkin of butter, because their honesty and integrity have been tested, tried and come out triumphant. But they remember a time when they could have robbed a partner, or have absconded with the funds of a bank, or sprung a snap judgment, or made a false assignment, or borrowed inimitably without any efforts at payment, or got a man into a sharp corner and fleeced him. But they never took one step on that pathway of hell fire. They can say their prayers without hearing the chink of dishonest dollars. They can read their Bible without thinking of the time when with a lie on their soul in the custom house they kissed the book. They can think of death and the judgment that comes after it without any flinching that day when all charlatans and cheats, and jockeys and frauds shall be doubly damned. It does not make their knees knock together, and it does not make their teeth chatter to read "as the partridge sittcth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteh riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool." "What a school of integrity business life is! If you have ever been tempted to let your integrity cringe before present advantage, if you have ever wakened up in some embarrassment, and said: 'Now, I will step a little aside from the right path and no one will know it, and I will come all right again, it is only once. That only once has ruined tens of thousands of men for this life and blasted their souls for eternity. A merchant in Liverpool got a fivepound Bank of England note, and. holding it up toward the light, he saw some interlineations in what seemed red ink. He finally deciphered the letters, and found out that the writing had been made by a slave in Algiers, saying in substance: 'Whoever gets this bank note will please to inform my brother, John Dean, living near Carlisle, that I am a slave of the Bey of Algiers." The merchant sent word, employed government officers and found who this man was spoken of in this bank bill. After awhile the man was rescued, who for eleven years had been a slave of the Bey of Algiers. He was immediately emancipated, but was so worn out by hardship and exposure he soon after died. Oh, if some of the bank bills that come through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they have passed, it would be a tragedy eclipsing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than Kiag Lear or Macbeth! As I go on in this subject, C am impressed with the importance of our having more sympathy with business men. Is it not a shame that we in our pulpits do not oftener preach about their struggles, their trials, and their temptations? Men who toil with the hand are not apt to be very sympathetic with those who toil with the brain. The farmers who raise the corn and oats and the wheat sometimes are tempted to think that grain merchants have an easy time, and get their profits without giving any equivalent. Plato and Aristotle were so opposed to merchandise that they declared commerce to be the curse of the nation, and they advised that cities be built at least ten miles from the sea coast. But you and I know that there are no more industrious or high minded men than those who move in the world of traffic. Some of them carry burdens heavier than hods of brick, and are exposed to sharper things than the east wind, and climb mountains higher than the Alps or Himalaya, and if they are faithful Christ will at last say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." We talk about the martyrs of the Piedmont valley, and the martyrs among the Scotch highlands, and the martyrs at Oxford. There are just as certainly martyrs of Wall street and State street, martyrs of Fulton street and Broadway, martyrs of Atlantic street and Chestnut street, going through hotter fires, cr having their necks under sharper axes. Then it behooves us to banish all fretfulness from our lives, if this subject be true. We look back to the time when wo were at school, and we remember the rod, and we remember the hard tasks, and we complained grievously; but now we see it was for the best. Business life is a school, and the tasks are hard, and the chastisements sometimes are very grievous; but do not complain. The hotter the fire the better the refininig. There are men before the throne of God this day in triumph who on earth were cheated out of everything but their coffin. They were sued, they were imprisoned for debt, they were throttled by constables with a whole pack of writs, they were sold out by the sheriffs, they had to coinpromise with their' creditors, they had to make assignments. Their dying hours were annoyed by the sharp ringing of the door bell by some impetuous creditor who thought it was outrageous and impudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the last half dollar. I had a friend who had many misfortunes. Everything went against him. He had good business capac.'ty and was of the best of morals, but he was one of those men such as you have sometimes seen, for whom everything seems to go wrong. His life became to him a plague. When I heard he was dead, I said: "(Jood got rid of the sheriffs!" Who are those lustrous souls before the throne? When the question is ashed, "Who are they?" the angels standing on the sea of glass respond: "These are they who came out of great business trouble and had their robes washed and made whita in the blood of the Lamb." A man arose in Fulton street prayer meeting and said: "I wish publicly to acknowledge the goodness of God. I was in business trouble. I had money to pay, and I had no means to pay it, and I was in utter despair of all human help, and I laid this matter before the Lord, and this morning I went down among some old business friends I had not seen in many years just to make a call, and one said to me, "Why, I am so glad to see you! Walk in. We have some money on our books due you a good while, but wc didn't know where you were, and therefore not having your address we could not send it. We are very glad you have come?" And the man stand

ing in Fulton street prayer meeting said: "The amount they paid me was six times what I owed." You say it only happened so? You are unbelieving. God answered that man's prayer. Oh, you want business grace. Commercial ethics, business honor, laws of trade are all very good in their place, but there are times when you want something more than this world will give you. You want God. For the lack of Him some that you have known have consented to forge, and to maltreat their friends, and to curse their enemies, and their names hae been bulletined among scoundrels, and they have been ground to powder; while other men you have known have gone through the very same stress of circumstances triumphant. There are men here today who fought the battle and gained the victory. People come out of that man's store, and they say: "Well, if there ever was a Christian trader, that is one." Integrity kept the books and waited on the customers. Light from the eternal world flashed through the show windows. Love to God and love to man presided in that storehouse. Some day people going through the street notice that the shutters of the window are not down. The bar of that store door has not been removed. People say, "What is tbe matter?" 'ou go up a little closer, and you see written on the card of that window: "Closed on account of the death of one of the firm." That day all through the circles of business there is talk about how a good man has gone. Boards of trade pass resolutions of sympathy, and churches of Christ pray, "Help. Lord, for the godly man ceaseth." He has made his last bargain, he has suffered his last loss, he has ached with the last fatigue. His children will get the result of his Industry, or, if through misfortune there be no dollars left, they will have an estate of prayer and Christian example which will be everlasting. Heavenly rewards for earthly discipline. There "the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."

PREVENTING ELECTROLYSIS. A Possible Method of Rendering Vagrant KlM'tri- Current Harmless. The amount of damage done to water and gas pipes by electricity that has escaped from trolley lines on its way back to the power house is almost incalculable. The evil is not so serious nowadays as it was several years ago. Modern methods of providing for the return of the current have lessened its vagrant disposition. Nevertheless the trouble continues to some extent. A suggestion that bears on the subject was made by the Engineering News a few days ago. in St. John, N. B., it has been the practice for nearly half a ccntrry to close the joints in city water pipes, not with melted lead, as in most places, but with pine plugs. The experiment was tried in 1S51 and ngain in 1S37. On both occasions it worked so well that the same policy was pursued two years ago. The object in view was merely to secure economy. But mention cf the fact reminds the Engineering News of the insulating qualities of wood and of the proposition made last year that two or more lengths of wooden pipe be introduced into the mains in every district where trouble was to be anticipated. Electricity will not enter a line of pipe il it cannot get out again. An obstacle which would prove effectual at any given point along a system of metallic conductors would dissuade a current from going into it in the first place. Hence, if the wooden plugs interfered with the conductivity of the pipes it is hard to see why they would not protect them from invasion. And if the currents would not attempt to travel along the pipe at all no electrolysis or corrosion would ensue. A STAMP BEGGAR. How a Chicago Crook Makii an Easj Living. Richard W. Smith, a Boston traveling man, who was at the Hotel Imperial, told a New York Tribune reporter this story of a Chicago crook who is acquiring a livelihood in a rather peculiar way: "I was chatting with a friend in the lobby of a fashionable hotel in Chicago," said Mr. Smith, "when I noticed an old man coming out of the writing room. He was shabbily dressed, but clean and appeared to be perfectly respectable. His kindly face wove a look of annoyance as ho gt'.zed at four letters which he held in his hand. As he approached me I saw that they were sealed and addres.-ed, but had no stamps on them. Finally the old fellow sto:j:ed in front of my chair. Holding out the letters in one hand and a penny in the other, said: I bog your pardon, but have you four stamps that you can spare? When I came away from home I thought I had a dime, but I find that it was a penny, and I am very anxious to g -t these letters off in the first mail." It happened that I had just bought fa cents' worth of stamps, and, without a moment's hesitation, I hand ed four of them to the old man. He thanked me graciously and walked away. I lurried to renew the conversation with my friend, and found him shaking with laughter. 'You are the easiest thing 1 have seen in a long while, ho said. 'That is probably the most noted and most sueceTul beggar in Chicago. He is well known at all of the larger hotels, and, it is said, makes from t to $tJ a day by means of his little game.'" rislit'rniau'rt I'aradisr. The record just published of a fishing expedition in Lapland should bo good leading for anglers. The party was one of two rods, with followers. They lished for eleven days and secured a total of 2S2 ulmoii and 115 grilse, weighing in all nearly 5,000 pounds. Tis! best day's catch for one. rod was thirty-three salmon and twenty-two grilse, or a total weight of 553 pounds. It should be added that tho fishing party had to wait their opportunity, for when they arrived at their destination the river was frozen, and when the thaw came there was at first too much water for fishing. Londou Globe. A Chicago rascal who called himselt "Hope" Eocured from $1 to $10 apleca from poor people out of employment, and told them to call later and get positions. As might have been expected, both Hope and money are lost.

Ferhaps you never know her? She Was only known Xo those who love her, And still revere her memory. l'ure as the stars that shine above her. By God's strange providence bereft Of father, sister, friend and brothers. And homeless, joyless ever left She freely gave her life for others. If grrief she had she did not tell; We dared not ask we never knew It; Her heart was like a hidden well. Deep-sealed and only God saw through it. On errands sweet with mercy, swift She moved her smile of joy the token; Her willins hands the weight would lift From many a heart, despairing broken! And many a life bowed down with shame Beneath her tender touch grew human: And lips that prayed not breathed her nam? Ami said: "God ble.s that little woman!" The day she died they came to me And said: 'No boon would we deny her; Some word above hr grave must b Now that the Lord has called her higher. I wept hu" did not weep alone. Because my grief was theirs in common; Said I: "I'lare nothing on the stone Save this: Here Lie-ä a Little Woman! " The Indispensable i;o:u Always with her summer gown, even if it be a crisp white shirt waist and duck skirt, the emart woman carries one of the many species of short boa. It seems to be as essential to her well being as her neck chain, and it is made often as not of the gray tulle which is always speckled o'er with email and large pinhead dots of black velvet. Tome very lovely, and, be it candidly said, very expensive examples of such tulle boas have their full raw cut edges bJtton-hole finished with black silk, e.se a fine floss fringe borders the tulle. Not one of the boas is so long that Its ends will reach more than a few Inches below the waist line, and the majority are fat and full in the center, tapering to very pointed ends. A finely accordion-pleated boa of white taffeta mousseline edged with narrow rows of black lace, white spiral lace boas and those of liberty gauze gathered up wha ruffles of silk muslin or chiffon are all doing active duty in the realm of the well dressed, and no one can fail to remark the conspicuous absence everywhere of the long-trusted feathor boa. Evidently this is not a feather season. Vt'omcn Climb Hopes. "Would it be possible, do you think," a reporter asked Miss Daisy M. Elliott, teacher in the Berkley gymnasium in New York city, "for a woman, if she understand-; the science of comin? down a rope, to put her foot around it and then come down without injury if she had not previously tried it?" ' One of the girls here has told me that she has made a practical trial of her ability to go down a rope and that she cTM descend from a third story window without any trouble. She was not one of the venturesome athletes, either, and I was very glad to hear that the had been able to do it. It means a fjreat deal to undertake anything like that when there is not the necessity and the consequent excitement. We learn here to climb the rope before we go down it. and that is the moßt difficult part. The girls sometimes climb one rope and reach over to another and go down that. This comes under the head of heavy gymnastics, and every one dees not care to take it up. The work Is laid o't in a regular course which comes in order. Children sometimes are able to climb the ropes at the end of the firot season; older people seldom or never do. A girl under 1G will do best of all. Over 16 the girls have perhaps been wearing tight clothes and they seldom or never have the freedom of motion of the hoys. The older people got to rope climbing by the second season, but the seasons for most of them are short. Rope climbing iä an excelleiit exercise to develop the muscles of the che.-t, if it is properly done, but there is a great difference. Yon see, some people use the arms and you will see that they do it in a way which contracts the chest and which is consequently detrimental. Swinging by the rings U on the same principle and may be done well or badly, as the chest is or is not contracted. The chest and upper arms are chiefly developed by these exercises, and of course the lower arm muscles to some extent. The beginner takes practice with the bar, firat raising and lowering the body while the feet are on the floor to help support it. It is naturally easier for a light, slender person to come down a rope than for one who is stout. There is less weight to support. I don't know that it makes any difference whether a person is tall or short. There are a number of other things which tend to make rope climbing easier, and confidence is one of them. Women who are timid are not as successful as those who are not, though they may overcome that." Street Car i:t intirttc. At one of tlr open parliaments held by the New Erschind Woman's Press association the subjivt of street car ctiquetto was brought up. "Shall wornen move over u:t! nlin.v newcomers to havo the end Krtats?" c-.is talked up and down and lilinlly dismissed without having been sarnfav-iorily fcoM.led, i.vA perhaps no ie;i g;.v.l would have come of it if the member. had unanimously agreed to be obliging. It is amusing to note how willing men or women are to move in when the end seat is 'bearing the brunt of the fierce sun or i sharp storm. At other times one i obliged to climb over tbin people and stout people of both sexes, and to receive glares of wrath whenever we may even touch them. I remember the intensely disagreeable behavior of a young woman who kept the end vseat one morning when the streets had been freshly eprinltled one morning. Her black dress was long and she neglected to pull it

up out of the way, so my first step into the car was plump upon the side breadth. I apologized, of ccriree, yet she plainly shewed me her displeasure all the way down town. Had she moved along he would have kept the freshness of her skirt as well as .her temper. I acknowledge the point that the end feats ore more desirable, but everybody would he more comfortable in the end if the habit of moving in were general. It is now so uncommon as to call forth thanks when it occurs. I felt like shaking a selfish fat woman one day when a young woman with an infant in her arms boarded the c?.r. It was a task to pass such a mountain of flesh without incumbrances and the young mother locked absolutely helpless when the women refused nor courteous appeal to let her have the end seat. A gentleman in ih? so:;t bohind promptly cD-red hi sc-:: t and stood upon the running board d'iring tlu? remainder of i ho trip. I wonder why the generally accepted code of good morals does not pass on street cars. Women who are polite and obliging enough in other places seem to grow bristles immediately after boarding a car. Thy seem to tliir.k that their nickel entitle? them to d'rplay all the rudeness they care ta show. If they have packages their neighbors cn both sides must help thorn in the carrying, and if they have newspapers they will spread them wide open to read with a splendid disregard for anybody in the vicinity. Why. some women are every whit a selfish and annoying as the man who stretches his feet across the passageway in a closed car and makes us climb over them. A Jacket lllouse.

Onions, which are regarded by food authorities as one of the most valuable vegetables that we have, are unfortunately also found by many persons very difficult to digest. A suggestion that has been tested, its giver says, by long experience. and tried by many persons with success, is to add a little suar to tho onicn salad to prevent any dbcomfort after eating it. Anything which will encourage the consumption of onions is to bo recommended. Physicians say that they are wonderful rcjuvenators. and possess as well remarkable healing powers. The raw Bermuda onion is tho variety that is most palatable and the most efficient, and if, witli a little sugar, it is also easily assimilated, the knowledge becomes valuable. It is not generally known to what u?? the lemon may lay claim to. We find in the lemon juice an acid which is thoroughly wholesome and agreeable. Its use is not confined to the kitchen in flavoring our pies, cakes and sauce, or for ices and iced tea, but we can find it useful in the laundry in removing ink stains, with salt. Then on the toilet table, to remove stains from the hands, and a few drops in a little water to cleanse the mouth.

of cold water will kill germs that may be contained in water cholera and typhus and other deadly bacilli. In hoi countries lemon juice is largely used as a drink in water and as a disinfectant, instead of carbolic acid, and it is used to soften and whiten the skin, and in some instances is given in rheumatic affections and internal trouble. There is no other fruit to compare to tbe lemon in utility. And the price u within the reach of all. OUR COOKING SCHOOL. rtiickwlieat C:ik. To one-third cupful fine stale bread crumbs add two cups scalded milk and soak thirty minutes. Add one-half teaspoonful salt, quarter of a yeast cake dissolved in half a cup of hike-warm water and one and three-quarter cups of sifted buckwheat Hour. Let rise over night. In the morning stir well ! and add quarter of a teaspoon of soda dissolved in quarter of a cup of lukewarm water and one tablespoon molasses. Tho soda is aded to neutralize any acidity which has developed over night. Cook the cakes on a hot griddle, the same as griddle cakes, salt pork being the best to grease the griddle with, as less grease is absorbed. This is a good way to use up the pork rinds. Serve the cakes hot from tho griddle, not piled one upon the other, as that way of serving will make them heavy and indigestible. Maple syrup usually accompanies buckwheat cakes. The molasses added to the mixture in the morning will give nice crisp edges to the cakes. How to Ituy Poultry. When marketing, remember that it poultry is young, the end of the breastbone is just like gristle; and that the joints are limber and the legs smooth. When fresh killed, the eyes are full and the feet moist. The feet and beak of a young gooe are yellow, but if the bird has weathered too many storms, its feet and beak will be a reddish color, and bristly. If the feet are not pliable, it is a sign that the goose has been dead a long time. The fat cf a young bird is whiter and softer than that of an old one. Unless the weather is very warm, all kinds of poultry, turkeys especially, are improved by hanging for a day or two. Itrrakfast Miiftfns. With cue pint of sifted Hour mix one teaspoonful of sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, and two small teaspooufuls of baking powder. Heat two eggs, white and yolks separately. With tho yolks mix one-half pint of rich milk, stir in about a third of the Hour, then add three tablespoonfuls of melted butter, the rest of the Hour and the stiffly beaten whites. Heat well. Hake in hot, well buttered muffin pans about "0 minutes. Dumpling for Fricassee. One pint of sifted Hour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one scant tablespoonful of finely chopped suet, one-third of a teaspoonful of salt. Add just enough sweet milk to mix to 3 soft dough, mould into little balls, drop into the boiling fticasse or stew, cover closely and cook without uncovering for twenty minutes.
