The twentieth century will be much an improvement on th niuet,e:;th century as th" nineteenth century was an improvement on the eighteenth. But the conventional length of sermonie discourse will allow us only i time for one hopeful consideration. and hat will be the redemption of the ; cities. ( lic I'riUr Couiiiie nclab!.

We must not war on laudable city pride or with the idea of ! building ourselves up at any time to j Try to pull others down. Hosten must i continue to point to its Faneuil hall j and to itz superior educational advanrages. Philadelphia must continue to point to its Indent ndence ha!! and its ' mint and its (lirard college.

I know !h!e sorrows and th' ie are sins and there are Unerings all around about us. but us in some bitter "old winter (ia when we ire tlirasiiinj? our arms around :is ;o keep ecu j thumb.? from freeing v.n think of the ! warm spring day that will ;:fttr awhile om. oi- in tl-.e dark winter niht wo ' look up and v., ,-t northern lights. ; th -window.-- of heaven illumined by ' some great vbtory. just so we look up ' from the nuhf u suffering and sorrow and v. letchednes.s in our cities, and we nee a light streaming through from the j other side, and we know we are on the ' way to morning more than thai, on ; the way to "a morning without j clouds." i I want ou to understand, al! you j -ho aie toiling for Christ, that the j castles of .sin are all going to be cap- j tured. The victory for Christ in these j srreat towns is soins to he so complete j that noc a man on earth or an anpel in heaven or a devil in hell will dispute it. How do I know? I know it ! just as certainly as Cod lives and that ! this is holy truth. The old Hible is full of it. The nation is to be saved: 1 of course, all the cities are to be saved. It makes a great difference with you and with me whether we are toiling on toward a defeat or toiling on toward a TlctO;. I min; Ibr turleie. In that day of which I speak taxes wil'. be a mere nothing. Now our business men are taxed for everything. Citytaxes, county taxes, state taxes. United States taxes, stamp taxes, license taxes, manufacturing; taxes taxes, taxes, taxes! Our business men have to make a small fortune every year to pay their taxes. What fasten on our great industries this awful load? Crime, individual and omial. We have to pay the board of the villains who are incarcerated in our prisons. We have to take care of the orphans of those who plunged into their gnves through beastly k;duin;ence. We have to support the municipal governments. which re expensive just in proportion as the criminal proclivities are vast and tremendous. Who supports the almshouses and police stations and all the machinery of municipal government? The taxpayers. But in th glorious time of which 1 peak grievous taxation will all have rea3ed. There will be no need of supporting criminal-;. There will be no erirrinals. Virtue will have taken the place of vice. There will be no orphan asylums, for parents will be able to leave a competency to their children. There will be no voting of large sums of moneys for some municipal Improvement, which moneys, before they get to the Improvement, drop into the pocketä of those who voted them. No oyer and terminer kept up at vast expense to the people. No impaneling of Juries to try theft and arson and murder and slander and blackmail. Better factories, grander architecture, finer equipage, larger fortunes, richer opulence "a morning without clouds." Charcbtt Not Ir(e Enough. In our great cities the churches are not today large enough to hold more than a fourth of the population. The churches that are built comparatively few of them are fully occupied. The ATtrife ttUad&fic la ths churches of

the United States today is not 400. Now, in the glorious timi of which I speak, there are going to be vast churches, and they are going to be all thronged with worshipers. Oh. what rousing songs they will sing! Oh. what earnest sermons they will preach! Oh. what fervent prayers they will offer! Now, in our time, what is called a fashionable church is a place where a few people, having attended very carefully to their toilet, come and sit down they do not want to be erowdel, they like a whole scat to themselves and then, if they have any time left from thinking of their store, and from examining the style of the hat in front of them, they sit and listen to a i-er-mon warranted to hit no man's sins, anil listen to music which is rendered by a choir warranted to sing tunes that nobody knows! And then after an hour and a half of Indolent yawning they go home refreshed. Every man feels better after he has had a sleep! In many of the churches of Christ in our day the music is simply a mockery. I have not a cultivated ear nor a cultivated voice, yet no man can do my singing for n:e. I have nothing to say against artistic music. The $2 or $." I pay to hear one of the great queens of song is a good investment. But when the p-ople assemble in religious convocation, and thj hymn is read, and the angels of Cod step from their throne to e.uch the mu.-io on their wings, do not let us drive them away hy our indifference. I have preached in churches where vast sums of money

were employed to keep up the music. : and it was as exquisite as any heard on earth, but I thought at the same time, for all matters practical. I would prefer the hearty, outbreaking song of a backwoods .Methodist campmeet inc. 'rNiii (.ml hi Soiij;. 1st one of these starveling fane songs sung in church get up before tho throne of (tod. how would it look standing amid the great doxologics of the redeemed! Let the finest operatic air that ever went up from the church of Christ get many hours the start, it will be caught and past hy the hosanna of the Sabbath school c hildren. I know a church where the choir did all the singing, save one Christian man who. through perseverance of the saints, went right on. and afterward a committee was appointed to wait on him and ask him if lie would not please to stop singing, as it bothered the choir. "Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our Cod. But childr n of the heavenly King Should speak their joys abroad." "Praise ye the Lord: 1 t everything v.iih breath praise the Iord." In the glorious time comimr in our cities and in the world besann; will meet bosanna and hallelujah hallelujah. 1 lie .1i-iinr.r f l.ovo. He go s on and gives plates of the machinery by which this work is to be done, and he says he only needs at the start a company in which the shares shall lie each, and a hundred m two hundred thousand shall he raised jusa to make a specimen community, and then, this being formed, the world will see its practicability, and verv soon $e M(Ml lH, or 50 0 , (t()i) (4,in tained, and in ten years the winde earth wiil be emparadised. The plan is not so preposterous as some I have heard of. but 1 will take no stock in that -company. I do not believe it w ll ever be dope in that way by any mec iianicl force or iy any machinery that the human mind can put into p!nv. It is to be done by the gospel of the Son uf Cod -the omnipotent machinery of love and grace and pardon and salvation. That is to emparadise the nations. Archimedes dest roved a licet of ships coming tip the harbor. Yon know how he did it? He lifted a great sunglass, history tlls us. and when the fleet of ships came up the harbor of Syracuse lie brought to bear his sunglass, ami he converged the sun's rays upon those ships. Now, the sails are wings of fire, the masts fall, the vessels sink. Oli. my friends, by the sunglass of the gospel converging the rays of the Sun of Righteousness upon the sins, the wickedness nf the world, we will make them blaze and expire! ;oIa OmaiMil eut Tv. Cods love will yet bring back this ruined world to holiness and happiness. An infinite Father bends over it. in sympathy. And to the orphan he will be a father, and to the widow he will be a husband, and to the outcast he will be a home, and to the poorest wretch that today crawls out of the ditch of his abominations, crying for mercy, he will be an all pardoning Redeemer. The rocks will turn gray with age, the forests will be unmoored in the hurricane, the sun will shut its fiery eyelid, the stars will drop like blasted ligs. the sea will heave its last groan and lash itself in expiring agony, the continents will drop like anchors in the deep, the world will wrap itself in sheet of flame ami leap on the funeral pyre or the judgment clay, but (Sod's love will never die. H shall kindle its suns after ali other light" have gone rait. It wil, be a billowing sea after all other oceans have wept themselves away. It will warm ittelf by the blaze of a consuming, world. It will sing while the ai hangel's trumpet peals and the air is filled with the crash of breaking sepulchers and the rush of the wings or the rising dead. Oh, commend that love to all the cities, and the morning without clouds will come. I.Ik HopeleM Tunk. I know that sometimes it seems a hopeless task. You toil on in different spheres, sometimes with great discouragement. People have no faith ami say: "It does not amount to anything. You might as well quit that." Why, when Moses stretched his hand over the Bed sea, it did not seem to mean anything especially. People came out. I suppose, and said, "Aha!" Some of them found out what he wanted to do. He wanted the sea parted. It did not amount to anything, this stretching out of his hand over the sea. But after awhile the wind blew all night from the east, and the waters were gathered into a glittering palisade on either side, and the billows reared as God pulled back on their crystal bits. Wheel into line, O Israel! March, march! Pearl3 crashed under feet. Flying spray gathers into rainbow arch of victory for the conquerors to march under. Etou; of hosts on the beach answering

the shout o hosts amid the sea. And when the last line of the Israelites reach the beach the cymbals clap, and the shields clang, and the water3 rush over the pursuers, and the swift fingered winds on the white keys of the foam play the grand maich of Israel delivered and the awful dirge of Egyptian overthrow. So you and I go forth, r.nd all the people of (Jod go forth, and they stretch their hand over the sea, the lulling sea of crime and sin and wretchedness. "It doesn't amount o anything." people say. Doesn't it? Cod's winds of help will after awhile b?gln to blow. A path will be cleared for the army of Christian philanthropists. The path will be lined with the treasures or Christian beneficence, and we will be greeted to the otLr beach by the clapping of all heaven'? cymbals, while those who pursued us and derided us and tried to destroy us will go down under the sea, and all that will be left of them will be cast high and dry upon the beach, the splintered wheel of a chariot or thrust out from the foam the breathless nostril of a riderless charger.

SUN WARDS. Hospital Which Are Attarhin; Solitrl in 7h-tr llainiiiiK". The theory that sunlight exerts a powerfully healing- influence upon disease processes has now become so well established that the sun room is regarded as a necessity in a well-appointed hospital. In the plans of new hospitals that aspire to be up to date the solarium finds a prominent place, and to keep' up with the advances of medical science many of the old hospitals are attaching solaria to their buildings. The sun ward is easily built. It must be. of course, on the south side, of the building, having its eastern, southern and western walls largely constructed of glass, says the New Trained Nurse. A good plan is to build a large bay window, with metal framework, and if the hospital building is to be three or four (stories high, this bay window may extend to the full height of the main structure. Witlt this arrangement each lloor will have the advantages of a sun ward. The means of ventilation should be perfect and the heating arrangements adequate for the sun bath is just as practicable and useful on bright, wintry dayj as on sunny days of summer. If the outlook from the windows of tho soiariuu i.; pleasant, if the landscape is diversified with hills, trees, green lawns ov held.-, or a lake, or a bit of the ocean, so much the better. Unfortunately lor some institutions, the so ith view from the hospitals is limitcd by walls ot brick and stone. Nothing, however, can deteriorate the direct rays of the sun. so that, wherever possible, this exceedingly useful and very (heap commodity should be utilized for therapeutic effects. WANT TO VOTE. 'Moirmf-nf in i;i,.ilnnU lAioLiiti? Tunard General f-rn.ute SufTrHjje. Our women ar- as determined as ever, if not more so, to have their rightful vofs. In war times domestic reforms nm.st wait, and 'anions; them woman suftiiige. But t he-re is no reason why the interval should not bo utilized for consolidation and preparation fur ivsolub action when war i3 behind 11s and thy time cries aloud for the repression of old scandal.;. This is what the woman suffrage people have been 'doing. Ume upon a time the movement was single and solid. Then came the home rule split, and the women, protesting their independence of parties, followed the nun and split also, says the Iondon Mail. Two woman suffrage miotics arose, both nonpolitical, but one for Liberals, the other for Conservatives and Liberal Unionists. Time went by, home rule rancor softened, and the ladies, ever eager for the truth, resolved that there really was no object in having two woman suffrage societies, and that henceforth there should be-but one. as of old. Women- have been stung by the retrograde exclusion of women from the new municipal councilsthanks to the house of lords and tho singular acquiescence of the commons, after the yeoman service done by women on the vestries; their spirit has been stirred and they are in earnest. Meantime practice in voting for local bodies Is training women for greater things. . (io.l-Hr to tlie Train It 07. Ciood-by to the train boy. On January 1, l!Ol. on two important American railroad systems, the experiment, heretofore tried tentatively, of excluding from their c ars all peddling of popcorn. peanuts, cigars, newspapers, games, caramels, matches and magazines, was inaugurated and the "train boy" summarily done away witn. Against this innovation serious and urgent opposition was expected, for the train boy, with his wares, had come to he regarded, if not as a cherished, certainly as an unavoidable, incident or American passenger travel by railroad. In the evolution of modern travel to its present point of excellence, the ununiformed conductor, distinguishable only by his metal nadge, the loud-shouting brakeinan and car coupler disappeared, but the "candy or train boy" with his stock of peanuts and confectionery had lingered on, a burden to the patience of many travelers and an unnecessary survival of archaic railroading. A Sooth African Joke. Tommy Atkins had taken a Boer prisoner, and, the two getting friendly, talked about the prospects of the war. "You may as well give It up; you will never win," said the Boer. "'Cos why?" asked Tommy. "Because we've the Lord on our side," said the Boer.

DRAINING A MINE. American Kntei prM Com jltlDf Work Planned hy Humboldt An interesting mining operation being completed this month In the Guanjuato district, famous as the richest mining territory in Mexico, in un-

watcring the Sirena, gold mine, which, j after being worked by the Mexicans since the year 1550. has been Hooded and abandoned ever since the Mexican war of independence in 1S22. There are at least nine miles of workings in the old mine, and it has taken two years' labor with powerful electric pumps to remove the water already in the workings and to fight the incoming flow. It was 1,000 feet deep when the work began. Now it is lccs tl.au 400 feet. Just how much of the work- ! ings remain to he uncovered and what j there is in and beyond them no one j knows. Record-keeping and chart- 1 making were done in very primitive i fashion by the old Mexican miners, j As the clearing of the mine has pros- ) j pered curious relLs have come to j light. In one place, far below the j water level, the exp'orers came upon a stable half full of skeletons of mules and men who had been caught there by the rising flood. Life is cheap in I Mexico, and no one could be found vho j remembered ever having heard that j anybody had been missed in the mine, j The Sirena is the first of the c! 1 nvr.s j in the district to be unwutered. The i project is carried oat by a New York ' company, and it indicates the nw j channel in which modern mining j methods in the old districts run. The company counts on making an imm- i diate profit by go:ng over the old j workings and treating the ore out of which the Mexican miners with their j mule power and hand labor could obtain no paying results. Electricity i3 being used where nu;le power failed, and when the water is all out of the mine the workings will b" driven ! deeper than the Mexicans could ever have dreamed of operating them. The same method is now being undrtakt u man syndicate has acquired the famous Valencjan a, mine in tha same vein, out of which many millions have been taken by the Mexicans. Another 1 mine in the Veta Madre vein, which runs through the district, yielded the king of Spain S17,0c0.000 in royaltbs. The unwateiing of the mines ha3 been discussed since the time of Humboldt, who hpd a project for doing it by driving a tunnel twelve miles long Into the vein, but it is only now that American ntc-rprie ha given a start to the work. INSECTS OF METAL. InCfnlon leir l'nt In Operation tiy a t luc-r I r'i:i hirmri. Did you ever see a copper caterpillar, a silver centipede or a nickel gnat? Yet these and many similar objectcan be had, if not. for the a.-king at leat for a re;.son;cble amount if money at .--evera! piacc-: in New Vcik, says the New Yoik lb' ning Post.

The object thus d listed was placed in an electrolytic bath and upon it the metal w;s precipitated by the gahar.ir. cr.rren:. Ti.tJ object was then transferred to a second bath, from which ail the organic matter was dissolved by an alkali. Tin. metallic shell which remained was slightly hc a't d. touched with soim? i 1 kind of sh'dlac. and the thing was done. The inventor carried with him j quite a !).; etioti of Iho-e preparations. The most interesting cf all were a mo-Mpiito in gold and a hairy geranium b-af in copper. The delicacy ! of the week was extrao: dinarv. Under a, powerful magnifying glass the little organs which are invisible to the human eye were seen perfectly reproduced in metal. The discovery does net seem to have been utilized to any great extent so far as the trade is concerned, but has been taken up by many amateurs. This fall an ingenious girl uptown first covered the back of her hand with black lead and then plated it with metal. She removed this, which ws a perfect cast, and used it as a matrix, in which she deposited a second coat of metal, w hich she finally ! mounted on a piece of satin. Her hand, j as may be supposed, was pretty, and , when reproduced in conner made a ! work of art a.s novel as it was attrac- ; tive. CAUSE MANY DEATHS. j UUea.rs That Arn Mont FreTaleut fa ! 1 These Dhji. i A leading life insurance company ! has recently published its monthly records, covering a period of fifty years. Notwithstanding the utmost care is observed in securing only good risks, free from organic diseases, the cause of death in the insured and uninsured is probably much alike. Out of 44,9t).'? deaths a trifle over oneeighth (a.r.SS) were from tuberculosis. Almost the same number (5,542) came from apoplexy, softening of tht brain and paralysis, which are kindred maladies, if not practically identical. To disorder of the heart are credited 4.839 deaths (one-ninth); to the digestive apparatus, 4,584 (one-tenth); pneumonia, 4.062 (one-eleventh); violent causes, 3.Ö3T; Bright's disease, 2,997; typhoid fever, 1,712; nervous diseases, not specified, 2,306; ill-defined and obscure cases, 1.7U9, and other recognized maladies, 5.450. When deaths from I ie causes just enumerated are divided into the three periods, the ag5 of 45 and under, from 45 to 00 and abwve GO, some striking facts are brought out. Among the insured 60 per cent of the deaths from violence (accidental or intentional assault), 59 per cent of those from tuberculosis and 68 per cent of the total typhoid cases, occur In the first period. On the other hand, 47 per cent of the mortality from Bright's disease1 55 per cent from apoplexy and p; i. . sis and 56 per cent from heart disease occur after the age of 60. Mischief from the digestive apparatus Is fairly well distributed, 30 per cent of the deaths occurring in th first period, 38 per cent In the second and 21 per cent in the third. MedhtU lIs, , -
