W lie re is there any other being that will rally. such enthusiasm? Millions of good men ami women, but more women than men. to whom Christ is everything. Christ tirst and Christ last and Clitist forever. Why. this age is not so characterized by invention ami .-dentine exploration as it is by gospel proclamation.

These things I .ay because I want you to l.-e alert. I want you to he watching all these wonders unrolling from the heavens and the earth. God lias classified them, wl other caiamitous or pleasii,. The divine purposes are liarne.s:-ei! in Hates that catmo', break aril in girths thai cannot slip and in buckle:-, tint cannot loosen and arc driven by reins ti ey must answer.

Ion ; ago m nie leuieiiibcrs it i;id In the hand of the Almighty God in vot'uts that no terrestrial or sataine pressure can over affect. And along; the track the car of the world's redemption will roll and roll to the Grand Central depot of the millennium. I have no anxiety about the traek. I am only afraid that for our indolence ami unfaithfulness God will discharge us ami get some other stoker and sonn other engineer. The train is going through with us or without us. Ho, my brethren, watch all the events that are going by. If things seem to turn out rigM. give wings to your joy. If things seem to turn out wrong, throw out the anchor of faith and hold fast. There is a house in Ixmdon where Poter the Groat of Russia lived awhile when he was moving through the land incognito and In workman's dress that he might learn ship carpentry, by which he could supply the needs of his people. A stranger was visiting at that house. What's In that box?" The owner said: "I don't know. That box was there when I got the house, and It was there when my father got It. We haven't had any curiosity to look at It. I guess there's nothing In It." Well." paid the trangor. "I'll give you 2 for It." "Well, done." The 2 was paid, and the content of that box were sold to the Czar of Itusela for 50,000. In It the lathing machine of

Poter the Great, his private letters and documents of value beyond all monetary consideration. And here are the events that seem very insignificant and unimportant, but they incase treasures of Divine Providence and eternities of moaning which after awhile God will demonstrate before the ages as being of stupendous value. When Titans p:ay quoits, they pitch mountains, but who owns these gigantic natural forces we are constantly reading about? Whose hand is on the throttle valve of the volcanoes? Whose foot, suddenly planted on the footstool, makes the continents quiver? God! I must be at peace with him. Through the Lord Jesus Christ, this God is mine and he is yours. I put tne earthquake that shook Palestine at the crucifixion against all the down rockings of the eentuiies. This God on one side, we may challenge all the centuries of time and all the cycles of eternity. Those of you who are in midlife may well thank God that you have seen so many wondrous things, but there are people alive today who may live to see the shimmering veil between the material and the spiritual world uplifted. Magnetism, a word with which we cover up our ignorance, will yet be an explored realm. Klectricity, the fiery courser of the sky. that Benjamin Franklin lassoed and Morse and Bell and Edison have brought under complete control, has greater wonders to reveal. Whether here or departed this life, we will see these things. It does not make much difference where we stand, but the higher the standpoint, the larger the prospect. We will see them from heaven if we do not see them f i oiii earth. Years ago I was at Fire Island. I)ng Island, and 1 went up in the cupola from which they telegraph to New York the approach of vessels hours before they come into port. There is an opening m the wail, and the operator puts his telescope through that opening and looks out and sees vessels far out at sea. While I was talking with him he wa nt up and looked out. He said. "Wo are expecting tlie Arizona tonight. ' 1 said. "Is it possible you know all tbo&e vessels? Do you know them as you know a man's face?" He said, "Yes. I never make a mistake. lJefore 1 see the hulls 1 often know them by the masts. I know them all I have watched them so long." Oh. what a grand thing it is to have ships telegraphed and heralded long before they come to port, that friends may come down to the wharf and welcome their long absent oi.s! So today we take our stand in the watch-tower, and through the glass of inspiration we look off ami see a whole fleet of ships coming in. That is the ship of peace, with one star of Bethlehem floating above the top gallants. That is the ship of the church, mark of salt water high upon the smokestack, showing she has had rough weather, but the captain of Salvation commands her, and all is well with her. Tlie ship of heaven, mightiest craft ever launched, millions of passengers waiting for millions more, prophets and apostles and martyrs in the cabin, conquerors at the ffxit of the ina-t. while from the rigging hands are waving this way as if they knew us, and we wave back again, for they are ours. They went out from our own households. Ours! Hail, hail! Put off the black and put on the white. Stop tolling the funeral bell and ring the wedding anthem. Shut up the hoarse and take the chariot. Now the ship comes around the great headland. Soon she will strike the wharf, and we will go aboard her. Tears for ships going out. Laughter for ships coming in. Now she touches the wharf. Throw out the plank. Block not up that gangway with embracing long lost friends, for you will have eternity of reunion. Stand back and give way until other millions come aboard her. Farewell to sin! Faiewell tostiugglo! Farewell to sickness! Farewell to death! "Blessed are all they who enter in through the gates into the city." Trust a messenger boy to be up on expressive static. 1 lie p.n n iii.i. one who had a message to deliver yesterday morning at I he oRiee? of the general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad was as tough a looking specimen as you could lind in a day's journey. His cap was placed at a perilous angle on his frowsy head, tobacco stains lurked about the corners of his mouth, and he was pulling a cigarette stump. The dignified clerk who took the message scowled. "Sign dat." demanded the boy. holding out his slip, and expectorating copiously on the floor. "I'll have you put out of here if you don't know how to behave." said the clerk severely. A look of scorn passet over the boy's grimly features. "Aw, don't git icy wid me, or I'll slide all over youse!" he exclaimed. Then lie saunieret out whistling. "Co Away Back and Sit Down." Philadelphia Itecord.

r.Uititrial l:-.f.nO I.I Illy. The Doubles of the literary man are seldom bettor exemplified than in the case of the seedy-looking poet who wandered into an English newspaper office, venturing to hope that the editor would accept his offering. "Give me your address. 'said the editor. "That, sir," was the frank reply, "depends entirely on yourself." "On myself?" said the astonished editor. "How so?" "Well, you see," went on the unabashed poet, "it's this way; if you take the poem my address will remain 77 King street; if you don't take it I shall have no address. My landlady is a woman of her word." Youth's Companion. Forgotten Direction. As the steamer pitched and rolled In the waves the traveler heard, through the thin partition, a wailing voice In the next stateroom exclaim: "Oh, mamma. It's coming on again, worse than ever!" Then he heard a sleepy voice in reply: ".Marie, why don't you follow the directions you told me about before we came on board?" "Because I've forgotten whether I ought to breathe in as the vessel rises, ami let the breath go out as It, moves downward, or whether It ought to be the other way, and oh! oh! oh! I wish I was dead." Epworth Herald.

Miijni One of the cleverest deceptions prac ticed in recent years is the world tour of a cook for one of the native dignitaries of India, who has been posing as Prince Ranjit. He deceived even the elect of London and the European continent and it was not until he arrived on this side of the Atlantic that his identity was discovered and his deception exposed. Uut as far as his wealth was concerned there was no deception. He has plenty of monev ant!

His comThe arrival of the putative prince in ! plcxion is swarthy and his hair, beard London was unannounced and for this ! and mustache perfectly black. He has reason his piotensions awakened sits- beautiful teeth and small, sparkling, picion. But although he had a retinue J sympathetic eyes. lie betrays considof a score of attendants ami personal j erable nervousness and physical weakbaggage sufaeient for a regiment of j ness and is evidently anxious to avoid

ordinary mortals, society looked askance. It was not regarded as possible ' that sl distinguished a personage j should leave his native land and travel j half way around the globe without j sending in advance some intelligence i of his coming. At first his claims to J noble biith wore looked upon with ; suspicion and his display of wealth ; was spoken of as the assuming of an j adventurer. But tuen: was enough in his preset t e at the English capital to , set the tongues of the gossips going , and it w.is not long ere inquiries re- ! vealcd tlie fact that not only were his claims t nuine. but that one-half had I not been told. He was a man of far i greater imp?:: tam e than he assumed to j be while the wealth his -Maim-is do-: clared be pes.-tsst d was nut a. figment of the imagination. I Tnis bogus Indian prince lias just j been dazJing the n.ttive. o: Canada by i the magnificence of his entourage, and. i what is more, h,- proposts a tour of; the I'niled states. IJ,- h::s been at Que- : bee and Montreal, where ho was re- ! ceived with high honors, although he ; did not seek them. Indeed, he ox- ; pressed regret that bis corning was made the occasion for a display on tlie ; part of the lion-loving Canadians, do- ' daring he would have greatly prTerred going his own way unnoticed by tlu society people of the towns through which hio journey lay. This seeming modesty was. however, like his title, merely a pretens--. for it is manifest that the honors showered up'oti liim were of his own seeking ami a part of a well-devised plan to gratify an inordinate love of flattery with which he is possessed. Sailing from England on Oct. 21 the alleged prince arrived in Canada in due season. News of his coming had preceded hitu and large crowds assembled en the landing to give him welcome. His departure from Liverpool on board the steamer Iike Siuicoe was a notable event. First -class passengers, it was announced, wero to embark from the landing stage at noon. It was only when the ship's bugle was sounded, the gangway cleared ami the last hawser thown off that the throng realized its disappointment. The prince had embarked early in the morning, unobserved except by a few ol.lcials. In consequence of a very boisterous passage the prince and his suite, in common with a majority of the other passengers, were kept in their cabins fen two days. It was not until three days out tnat the prince appeared in public by attending a concert given in aid of the Liverpool Seamen's orphanage. He allowed his dam ing girl. Miss Uahar ISitx. and a couple of musicians to contribute an Indian song ami dance to the programme. In tlu; absence of Captain Carey, who could not leave the bridge, the chair was taken by C II. Keofer of Ottawa. who said he felt sure be echoed the sentiment of all present in thanking his highness for honoring them with his presence. The prince, he added, was a loyal Uritish subject, and as fuich he would receive every welcome and hospitality both from his brother subjects in Canada and from their friends and neighbors in the states. The prince was evidently pleased and emphasized his appreciation by a polite bow and pleasant smile. In the course of the rendering of the various items on the programme the prince evinced groat interest and clapped his hands enthusiastically at the end of each piece. .t the end of the last ''Indian song and dance" his highness arose to take his departure, having shaken hands with Mr. Keofer and made his ".salaam" to the audience, and retired to his stateroom, preceded by the ship's surgeon and followed by the dancing girl and bis retinue. As In London and Liverpool, there was much speculation ou board as to

y w'v w: riV4-tew MMR CT

who the prince really was, where he came from, whither his destination and why he wished to visit Canada and the United States. As to his identity, this entry appears in the list of passengers: "His Highness Prince Ranjit of Beloochistan and retinue." It is new said that the mysterious traveler's real name and title are Prince Joe lianjut, prince of Kurachi, and that he is the son and heir of the public observation. SHADOWLESS LIGHT. In an improved form of arc lamp for street and other lighting purposes IMPROVED ELECTRIC ARC LAMP. designed by an inventor of Washington. I). C. the carbons are so placed as to throw no shallow underneath the lamp. One of the objections to the arc light herfto.'ore has been the sliad-

m W

psrcrno rajah c.ives an entertainment

ow cast by the mechanism necessaiy to support the lower carbon, but the new lamp overcomes this by suspending both carbons in an oblique position from the top of the lamp as illustrated. It is understood that the light in an arc lamp is produced by the passage of the electric current b"tw;eu the slightly separated points of the lower carbons and to maintain these points in a proper relation the inventor has provided a clamping mechanism actuated by the expansion and contraction of the central rod of the governor. The first action as the rod expands is the clamping of the carbon pencils to prevent further downward movement, and the second is the spreading of the points until the arc i.-; formet! between them. As soon n.s the points are consumed partially the rod i? again drawn upward, allowing the points of the carbons to fall together once more, which feed is assisted by the roil springs attached at the upper cuds cf the carbons. A THOUSAND-DOLLAR BILL. It I'luurcH in ;i Story '.--rii iug nn Iilili.lli:itnli.4 ibtllk. A story in which a thousand dollar bill figures prominently involves a it!7.en of Indianapolis. This man was acting- as a truste? timing the panic of ISI"! ;:nd had the trust fund on deposit in the Indianapolis National bank. A lay or two before the bank closed its doors the man received a warning that the institution was doomed. He accordingly hastened over to the bank and drew out the money which he held in trust for another. When he received the money, which was in bills, he rolled it up and placed it in his coat pocket, where he carried it for several days. One day Harry C. Adams came into his place of business and said: "Have you such a thing as a hundred dollar till about you? I nood one right away." The man re .ched in his pocket pulled out the roll of bills, and taking off the top bill handed it to Mr. Adams. "Croat heavens!" ejaculated Mr. Adams when he observed that the bill called for $1.0u0, "you surely don't carry thousand dollar bills around in your pocket, do you?" "I have no thousand dollar bill," retorted the man. "I'd like to know what you call that," said Mr. Adams, holding up the bill so as to show plainly the figures 1,000 on Its face.

mm The scene changes to the Indianapolis National Bank. The man enters carrying the thousand dollar bill in hl3 hand. "Did you find any shortage in your cash the other day?" he asked of Cashier Rexford. "Did I?" exclaimed Mr. Rexford. "Well, I should say I did. I was short $000 and have lo.-t hours of sbep ever since trying to locate tliat shortage." "Well, you can take a little rest now," answered the man, "for here is your money. You paid aie a thousand dollar bill for a hundred dollar bill the other day." The cashier suddenly found that he had "business outside," and it is said that money was put Into circulation at a neighboring refreshment stand, although this part of the story is not clearly substantiated rtica Globe. CARNIVOROUS PLANTS. Vegetable Osjre Whicit Catch and Devour Various Insert. The most remarkable of al! carnivorous plants grows in the state of Maryland. It is commonly known in that region as the "butcher plant," though science calls it Dioiiea muscipn.a, ami its business is the catching of insectschicly Hies. At this it is so clever that an tin wary tly that ventures to alight up'e.i it has practically no chance to escape immediate death. The leaves of this vegetable curiosity, which creeps along the ground in bogu'y phices. are so modified as to t.ake the form of jaws, armed with saw-like teeth.

WHILE SHIP WAS SINKING. Sir TlioiiiiiH I.ilon Spent Hit Time in .li-rtiiii His I5nsines. A characioi ist.c story of Sir Thomas Lipton. whose attempts to win the America's cup have made him well known in this country, is told in the Works of Cre.it Men by Orison SwetMartlen. The incident occurred where Sir Thomas was plain Thomas and was practically unknown. A merchant vessel cariying a c:go of tea. ami with plain Thomas J. Lipton, merchant, aboard, was threatened with shipwreck in the .South Atlantic. A futious storm had driven the ship far out of its course. It was leaking badiy, and threatening rocks rose in sight. Mr. Lipton spent the last hour before the vessel was dashed on the rocks and lost in painting the words 'I'se Lipton's Teas" on the chests. These were afterward picked up on the various shores, and served to bring the merchant into l.h ün t pro:i. im n e abroad. All the ship's coaijc-ny got ashore :al'ely on an inhabited island, from which, after a few days, came a very creditable account of the shipwreck for publication in the 1ondon papers, signed "Lipton." The story that he furnished proved a groat advertisement, introducing his name to the nation at large. Sir Thomas was the son of a poor laborer and at the ago of ten was obliged to quit school and go to work as a messenger in a stationery store in dlasgow. His wages wore sixty cents a week. Today he employs 10.000 persons and conducts 420 stores all over the world. Not the Sxiur.

LEGAL OATHS BY WOMEN. iu Opinion as to but They Arc Keadj to Mic:ir To. "There's this difference between a woman and a man: Y!: n a woman thinks or believes a thing to be so she is itatly tu swear to it. wliib- a man doesn't swear to a thing unless be sees it and knows it to b" true." Thus did Magistrate Molt draw the dividing line of the sexes in the West Side Court. Miss Marie Hllerbiook of No. 320 East Eighty-Seventh ?irect, a school teacher, had asked him for a warrant for a bad boy w'.:o ha 1 st ruck one oi her pupils on the head with a stone. She admitted th-i she hadn't seen the boy throw the stnne, Lat was so sure he had. done so that sh" was ready to swear to it. "bei-au.-e p..-o;.'.o had told her."
