western uanaaa, Dare pernaps oeen me most carefully watched portions of the North American continent daring the past year. These three provinces have been aptly termed the granaries and pastures of Ganada. Manitoba has nearly :74,000,000 acres of the r richest soil, peculiarly adapted to the growth of wheat and other cereals, Asainiboia hits something over 84,000,000 acres of fat lands specially suitable to mixed farming, and Alberta has 45,000,000 acres of land, as fertile as can be found, vast expanses .Of natural pasturage, and broad districts rioh in coal, minerals and timber, fat these three provinces there is an abnadmit water supply, furnished by a multitude of lakes, rivers, oreeks and springs, and no portion; of the globe can claim a more healthful climate, nor One better adapted to the growth of the finest grades of wheat, or to profitable agriculture In all its branches. The past season was a fine illustration of the wonderful advantages and productiveness of the oountry; wheat and other cereals, roots, vegetables, hay, etc., all yielded enormous crops, and there is more genuine prosperity and contentment to-day among the settlers of Northwestern Canada, than has been re- . corded in the history of any newlyopened agricultural region. Among all these millions of aores of fertile lands, free as air to all who seek for new homes upon them, settlers from every nation of Europe, from the older parts of Canada and from many parts of the United States are rapidly securing farms and laying the foundation for a future compel ency.

There is to bo a joint stock-company with a capital of $300,000, limited to 300 shares, and no person can have more than one share. Tho.farm work is to be performed by the shareholders themselves and their families, and the profits are to bo distributed as dividends. They expect to introduce manufacturing as soon as practicable, sis they have a forest of valuable timber and an inexhaustible supply of coal.

~The Value Of Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy for catarrh is daily becoming better known, and people recognise in its use the common-sense method of treating this disease. Local applications can do but little good. Catarrh H constitutional in character and therefore requires a constitutional remedy. Hood’s Sarsaparilla attacks the disease at its foundation by eliminating title impurities in the blood which cause and feed it, and by restoring the affected membrane to healthy condition.

It i* thirteen miles long and six mites wide, but the atmosphere is so clear it seems as if I eouid cast a stone from beach to beach. The lake looks as though it had been let down on silver pulley s from the heavens and were a section of the sea of glass that St John describes as a part of the celestial landscape. Lake Galilee is a depression of six hundred fedt in which the river Jordan widens and tarries a,little, for the river Jordan comes in at its north side and departs from its south side, so this river has its cradle and its grave. Its white satin Cradle is among the shows bf MbUnt Hermon, where the Jordan starts, and its sepiilofaer is the Dead Sea, into which tbo Jordan empties. Lake Como, of Italy. Lake Geneva of Switzerland, Lake Lomond, of Scotland, Lake Winnepesaukec, of America, are larger, but Lake Galilee is the greatest diamond that ever dropped from the finger of the clouds,and,whether encamped on its hanks as we were yesterday, and worshiping at its crystal altars, or wading into its waves, which make an ordinary hath solemn as a baptism, or hoW ptlt

ting out .upon its spurring suriace in a boat, it iB something to talk about, and pray about, and sing about, until the j lips with which we now describe it can neither talk, nor pray, nor sing. Of the two hundred and thirty war ships Josephus maneuvered .on these waters—for Josephus was a warrior as well as a historian—there remains not one piece of a hulk, or one patch of a canvas, or one splinter of an ore. Hut return to America wo never will until we have had a sail upon this inland sea. Not from a wharf, but from a beach covered with black and white pebbles we go on a boat of about ten or twelve tons, to be propeled partly by sail and partly by oars. The mast leans so far forward that it seems about to fall, but we find it was purposely so built, and the rope through a pulley manages to lioist and let down the sail. It is a rough boat and as far as possible removed from-a Venitian gondola or a sportsman's yacht. With a common saw and hammer and axe many of you could make a bettor one. These bare-footed Arabs, instead of sitting down to their oars, stand j.s they always do in rowing, and pull away from shore. I insist on helping, for there is nothing more exhilarating to me than rowing, but I soon had enough of the clumsy oars, and the awkward attempt of wielding them while in standing posture. We put on.r overcoats and shawls on a small deck :in the stern of the boat, the very kind o f a dock where Christ lay on a fishermen’s coat, whence?- -eid a tempest pounced upqnJthe fishing smask of tie affrigtrfeclf disciples Ospreys and wild duck and king-fishers fly overhead or dip their Wings into the lake, mistaking it for a fragment of fallen sky. Can it be that thoso llible stories about sudden storms on this lake are true? Is it possible that a sea of such seeming placidly of temper could ever rise and rage at the heavens? It does not seem as if this happy family elements could have ever bad a falling: out, and the water striko at the clouds and the clouds strike at the water. Pull away, oarsmen! On our right bank are the hot sulphur baths, so hot. they are scalding, and the waters cool off a long while before hand or foot can endure their temperature. Volcanoes have been boiling these waters for centuries. Four springs roll their resources into two great swimming reservoirs. King Herod there tried to bathe off the results of bis excesses, and Pliny and Josephus describe the spurting out of those volcanic heats, and Joshua and Mosos

knew about tbem, ana tins moment Ion? lines of pilgrims from all parts of the earth are waiting for their turn to step into the steaming restoratives. Let the boat, as far as possi ble, and not run aground, bug the western shore of the lake that we may so< the City of Tiberias, onee a great capital of the architecture of which a few mosaics, and fallen pillars and pedestals, and here and there a broken and shattered iriezeremain, mightily suggestive of the time when Herod Antipas had a palace here and'reigned with an opulence, and pomp, and cruelty, and abomination that paralyzes the fingers of the historian when he comes to write it. and the fingers of the printer when ho attempts to transfer it tc canvas. 11 suppose he was one of the worst men that over lived. And what a contrast of character comes at every- moment to the thoughtful traveler in Palestine, whether !,e walks the be;;ch of this lake or sails as wo now do these waters! Side by side are the two great characters of this lake region, Jesus and Herod Antipas. And did any age produce any Buch antipodes, any such antitheses, any such opposites? Kindness and cruelty, holiness and fitth, generosity and meanness, self-sacrifice and selfishness, the supernal and the infernal, midnoon and midnight. The father of this Herod Antipas was a genius at assassination. He could manufacture more reasons for putting people out of this life than any man in ai l history. He sends for Hyrcanuti to come from Babylon to Jerusalem to be made high priest and slay's him. He has bis brother-in-law, while in bathing with him, drowned by tho King’s attendants. lie slays his wife and his wife’s mother, and two of hi* sons and his uncle, and BUed a volume of atrocities, the last chapter of'which was the massacre of all the babes a t Bethlehem. With such a father as Herod the Great, you aro not surprised that this Herod Antipas, whose palace stood on the banks of this lake we now Sail, was a combinatio n of wolf, reptvlo and hyena. While the Christ who walked yonder banks and sailed these waters was so good that almost every rood of this scenery til associated with some wise word or somo kindly deed, and all literature, and all art, and all earth, and all Heaven are put to the utmost effort in trying to express how grand and glorious and lovely He was, and is, and is to be. The Christly and Herodic character!!, as different as the two lakes wo visit and not far apart, Galilee and the Dead Sea; the one flower-banked and the other bituminous and blasted; the one liovered over by he mercy of Christ, tho other blasted by the wrath of God; the one full of finny tribes sporting in the clear depths, the other forever lifeless; the waters of the pleasant U-.the taste, the and sharp ami disgusting.

Star of peace I beam o'er the billow Bless the soul that sighs for thee j Bless the sailor’s lonely pillow, far, far at sea, Here at Capernaum, the Arabs having in their arms Carried Us ashore to tbe only place where our Lord over had a pastorate, and wo stepped amid tbe ruins of the church where He preached again and again, the synagogue, whose

neb sculpturing lay there, not as when others see it in spring-time covered with weeds and loathsome with reptiles, but in that December completely Uncovered to our agitated and intense gase. On one stone of that synagogue is the sculpturing of a pot of ma nna, artistic commemoration of the time when the Israelites were fed by manna in the wilderness, and to which sculpturing no doubt Christ pointed upward while Ho was preaching that sermon on this very spot in which Ho said: “Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead; he that eateth of this bread shall live forever.” Wonderful Capernaum! Scene of more miracles than any place in all the eartbl Blind eyes kindling with the morning. Withered arms made to pulsate. Lepers blooming into health. The dead girl reanimated. These Arab tents which on. thin December day I find in Palestine, disapimar anil I see-Capernaum as it was when'Jesus was pastor of the church here. Look at that woalthy home, the architecture, the marble front, upholstery, the slaves in uniformat the doorway. It is the residence of a courtier of Herod, probably Ctaura by name, his wife Joanna, a Christian disciple,. But something is the matter. The slaves are in great excitement, and the courtier living there runs down the front steps and takes a hoi so and puts him at full run across the country. The boy of that nobleman is dying of typhoid fever. All the doctors have failed to give relief. But about five miles up the country, at Cana, there is a Divine Doctor, Jesus by name, and the agonized father has gone for Him, and with what earnestness those can understand who hare had a dying child in tho house. This courtier cries to Christ: “Come down ere my child die!” I- While the father is absent, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, tho people watching tho dying boy see a change in ihe -countenance, and Joanna, the mother, atone side of his couch, says: “Why, this darling is getting well; the Tever has broken; see tho perspiration on his forehead; did any of you give him any new medicine?” “No,” is tho answer. The boy turns on bis pillow, bis delirium gone, and asks for something to eat and says: “Where’s father?" Oh, he has gone up to Cana to get a young doctor of about thirty-one ybars of age. But no doctor is needed now in this house at Capernaum. The people look at the sun-dial to find what time of the day it i«, and see it is just past ndbn, and one o'clock. Thon they start out and meet tho returning father, and as soon as they come within speaking distance they shout at the top of their voices: “Your hoy is getting well.” “Is it possible?” says tho father, “when did the change for the better take place?” “One o’clock” is the answer. “Why,” says the courtier, “that is just the hour that Jesus said to me “Thy son liveth.” One o’clock!

as they jratuer at toe evening meat what gladness on all the countenances in that home at Capernaum! Tho moth er, Joanna, has not had sleep for man; nights and she now falls off Into delightful slumber. The father, Chuza, the Hcrodian courtier, worn out with anxiety as well as by the rapid journey to and from Cana, is soon in restful unconsciousness. Joanna was a Christian before, but I warrant she was more of a Christian afterward. Did the father Chuza accept the Christ who had cnred his boy? Is there in ail the earth a parent so ungrateful for the convalescence or restoration of an imperiled child as not to go into a room and kneel down and -make surrender to the Almighty love that came to the rescue? Do not mix up this caso with the angry discussions about Christian science, but accept the doctrine, as old as the Bible, that God does answer prayer for the sick. That Capernaum boy was not the only illustration of the fact that prayer is mightier than typhoid fever. And there is not a doctor of large practice, but has come into the sick room of some hopeless caso and, in a cheerful manner, if he were a Christian, or with a bewildered manner it he wore a skeptic, said: “Well, what have you been doing with this patient? What have you been giving him? The pulse is bettor. The crisis is past After all, 1 think he will get well.” Prayer will yet be acknowledged in the world’s materia medics, and the cry is just a* appropriate now as when Chuza, the courtier from Capernaum, uttered in Christ's hearing: “Come*down ere -jny child die!” . If tho pi'ayer be not answered in the way wo wish it is because God has something better for the child than earthly recovery, and there ' are thousands of men and Women now hlivo in answer to fathers* and mothers’ prayers, myself one of, the multitall t:« when at three years of age scarlet fever seemed to have dono its full work on me, ! and the physicians had said there was 1 no m«W uw ot their coming, and they 1 kai l,h#4 O faw fttmnla filrMiUnnR

I was repeating the part which I was to take in a public performance.

I can not lead this peopie, I can not guide the affairs of this Nation without Thy help. I am poor and weak and sinful. Oh God, who didst hear Solamtm when ho cried for wisdom, hear me arid sate the Nation!” Yott sue, wO don't need to go brick to Hibie times for evidence that PrayOr is board and answered. “But;*’ says some ode; awbjr Was it that Christ, coming to save the world, should spend so much of H's time on and around so solitary a place as Lake Galilee? There is only one city of any size on its beach, and both the western

and eastern shores are a solitude, broken only by the sounds coining from vbe mud hovels of the degfhded. Why did not Christ begin St Babylon the might?) St Athens the learned) St -Cairo the historic, St 'Thebes the huh-dred-gated, St iiome the triumphant? If Christ was going to save the world, why not go where the world’s people dwell? Would a man, wishing to revolutionize for good the American continent, pass his time amid the fishing huts on the shores of Newfoundland?*’ My friends, Galilee was the hub of the wheel stciviiisation and art, and the center of a population that staggers realization. On the shore of the lake we sail to-day stood nine great cities, Scythopolls, Tarichm, Hippos, (iamala, Choraxin, Capernaum, Uethsaida, Magdala, Tiberias—and many villages, the smallest of Which had fifteen thousand inhabitants, according to Josephus, and reaching from the beach back into the country in all directions. Palaces, tonples, coliseums, gymnasiums, amphitheaters,, towers, gardens terraced on the hillsides, fountains, bewildering with sunlight, baths, upon whoso mosaic _ floors Kings trod; while this lake from’where the Jordan enters it to where the Jordan leaves it, was beautiful with all styles of shallop, or dreadful with all kinds of war galleon. Four thousand ships, history says, were at one time upon these waters. Hatties were fought there, which shocked all nations with their consequencos.' ■ Here mingling blood with pure and sparkling toam, In her last throes Judaea fought with Home. Upon those sea-fights looked Vespasian, and Titus and Trajan, and whole empires. From one of these naval encounters so many of the dead floated to the beach, they could not soon enough be entombed, and a plague was threatened. Twenty hundred soldiers escaping from these vessels were one day massacred in the amphitheater at Tiberias. For three hundred years that almost continouscity encircling Hake Gallilec was the metropolis of our planet. It was to the very heart of the world that Jesus came to soothe its sorrows, and pardon its sins, and heal its sick, and emancipate its enslaved, and reanimate its dead. And let the Church and the world take the suggestion. While the solitary places are not to be neglected, we must strike for the great cities, if ibis world is ever to be taken for Christ Evangelize all the earth except the cities, and ,in one year the cities would corrupt the earth. But bring the cities, and all the world will come. Bring London, and England will come. Bring Paris, and Franco will come. Bring Berlin, and Germany will come. Bring St. Petersburg, and Russia will come. Bring Vienna, and Austria will come. Bring Cairo, and Egypt will come. Bring the near three million people in this cluster of cities on the Atlantic coast, and all America will soon see the salvation of God. Ministers of religion! lot us intensify our evangelism. Editors anlpub

And instead of this absurdand belittling and wicked rivalry among our cities as to which happens to havo the most men and women and children, not realizing that the fiore useless and bad people a city has the worse it is off, and that a city which has ten thousand good people is more to be admired than a city with one hundred thousand bad people; let us tako a moral census and see bow many good men and good women are leading forth how large a generation of good children who will consecrato themselves and consecrate the round world to holiness and to God. Oh, thou blessed Christ, who didst come to the mighty cities encircling Lake Galilee! come in mercy to all our great cities of to-day. Thon who didst put Tby hand on the white inane of the foaming billows of Gennesaret, and make them lie down at Thy feet, hush all the raging passions of the world! Oh thou blessed Christ, who on the night when the disciples were trying to cross this lake and “the wind was contrary.” after nine hours of rowing had made only three miles, didst come stepping on water that at the touch of Thy foot hardened into crystal, meet all our shipping, whether on placid or stormy seas, and say to all Thy people, now by whatever Style of tempest tossed or driven, as Thou didst to the drenched disciples in the cyclone: “Be of good cheer. It is I. Be not afraid!” Thank God that I have seen this lake of Christly memories, and I can say with Robert McCheyne, the ascended minister of Scotland, who, seated on the banks of tbis la^, wrote in his last, smlt days, and just before be crossed thoaTordan, not the Jordan that empties into the Sea of Galilee, but the Jordan that empties into the “sea of glass mingled with fire,” these sweet words fit to be played by human fingers on strung strings of earthly lute, or by angolio fingers on seraphic harps: It is not that the mild ganeile Conies down to drink thy tide, But He that was pierced to save from hell, Oft wandered by thy aide.

Y. Tribune. BLOTCHES ON THE FACE. Extract From a Lecture by J. H. Kellogg M. D., of Battle Creek Sanitarium. Yellow blotches on the skin are generally due to an inactive state of the liver. The liver in making bile separates the bile acids from the blood, takes the coloring matter from the dead blood corpuscles and changes a part oi it into useful matter to be used in tinting the hair, skin and eyes and prepares the rest to be thrown off as waste; changes the uric acid into urea that it may be carried off harmlessly, besides doing a variety of other work. When this is done imperfectly, more or less oi these substances are reabsorbed and carried back into the blood. The liver is all full of little ducts which lead into one large duct which again divides and w portion of the bile 'which has been drained into it, is sent to the Bmall intestines and a portion to the gall bladder. The ramification of bile ducts may be likened to a widely branching river, into the main branch os of which run many tiny rills and rivulets. Recent investigations have shown that there is scmetimes a partial obstruction in the liver, a plug of mucous or a tiny gallstone in some of these smaller duets. The manufacture of bile goes on iust the same but being dammed, back in some way, it is reabsorbed by the bloodvessels of the liver as fast as made and thus taken into the general circulation and is deposited variously beneath the skin. In case of the inactivity of one excretory organ, the others try to do duty for the lack so far as possible; hence the waste mate rial from the bile tries to find exit through the skin. This is what makes the skin and eyes yellow in jaundice, hut when the obstructed area is small, only small portions of the skin will be stained yellow or brown.
