For all the diseases and disorders peculiar to womanhood, Dr. Pieroe’s Favorite Pre- ; Boription is the surest and speediest 1 remedy. Ton can depend upon that ' —but If your case is obstinate, give it reasonable time. It’s an invigorating, restorative tonic, a soothing and strengthening nervine, and a positive speoilio for female weaknesses and ailments. All functional disturbances, painful irregularities and derangements are 'corrected and cured by it. All unnatural discharges, bearing-down sensations, weak back, accompanied with faint Bpells and kindred symptoms, are corrected. In every case for It’S recommended, “Favorite Boription,” is guaranteed to give satisfaction, or the money is refunded. No other medioine for women is sold on such terms.

4 it* Departed Glories of the IVondron* Parthenon. The tallowing discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle on continuation of his series: “From the Pyramids to the Acropolis." He took for his text: While Paul waited for them at Athens hi* Spirit Was stirred in him when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.—Acts xvii., 1*. It seemed as if morning would never come. We had arrived after dark in Athens, Greece, and the night was sleepless with expectation, and my watch slowly announced to me one and two and three and four o’clock, and at the first ray of dawn I called our party to look out of the window upon that city to which Paul said he was a debtor, and to which the whole earth is debtor for Greek architecture, Greek scnlptnre. Greek poetry, Greek eloquence, Greek prowess, and Greek history. That morning in Athens we sauntered forth armed with most generous and lovely letters from the president of the United States and his seretary of state, and during all onr stay In that city these letters caused every door and every gate and every temple and every palace to swing open before us. The mightiest geographical name on earth to-day is America. The signature of an American president and secretary of state will take a man where an army could not. Those names brought us into the presence of a most gracious and beautiful sovereign, the queen of Greece, and her cordiality was more like that of a sister than the occupant of a throne room. Bo formal bow as when monarchs are approached, but a cordial shake of the hand, and earnest questions about our personal welfare and our beloved country far away. But this morning we pass through where stood the Agora, the ancient market place, the locality where philosophers used to meet their disciples, walking while they talked, and where Paul the Christian logician flung many a proud stoic, and got the laugh on many an impertinent Epicurean. The market place was the center of social and political life, and it was the plaoe 'where people went to tell and hear the news Booths and basaars were i set up for merchandise of all klqds, except meat, but everything must be sold for cash,«and there must be no lying about the value of commodities, and the Agoranomi who ruled the place could inflict severe punishment upon offenders. The different schools of thinkers had distinct places set apart for convocation. The Plat ujans must meet at the cheese market, the Decelians at the barber shop, the sellers of perfumes at the frankincense headquarters. The market place was a space three hundred and fifty^u|&L long aud two hundred and flft^^W^ and it was given up to gossip, and merchandise, and lounging, and philoso-. phiaing. AH this you need to know in order to understand the Bible wheiut. says of Paul: “Therefore’ disputefl^R in the market daily with t’aCtu that met him, ” -Yeu tve it '.. as the best place to get -an audience, and if a man feels himself called to preach he wants people to preach to. But before we make our chief visits of to-day we must take a turn at the Stadium. It is a little way out, but go we must. The Stadium was the place where the footraces occurred.

Paul had been out there, no doubt, for he frequently uses the scenes of that place as figures when he tells us: “Let us run the race that is set before us,” and again: “They do it to obtain a corruptible garland, but we an incorruptible. ’’The marble and gilding have been removed, but the high mounds, against which the Beats were piled are still there. The Stadium is six hundred and eighty feet long, one hundred and thirty feet wide and held forty thousand spectators. There is to-day the very tunnel through which the defeated racer departed from the Stadium and from the hisses of the people, and there are the stairs up which the victor went to the top of the hill to be crowned with the laurel. In this place contests with wild beasts sometimes took place, and while Hadrian, the emperor, sat on yonder height one thousand beasts were slain in one celebration. But it was chiefly for foot-racing, and so I proposed to my friend that day while we were in the Stadium that we try • which of us could run the sooner from end to end of this historical ground, and so at the word given by tlie lookers-on we started side by side, but before I got through'! found out what Paul meant when he compares the spiritual race with the race in this very Stadium, as he says: “Lay aside every weight.” My heavy overcoat and my friend’s freedom from such encumbrance showed the advantage in any kind of a race of “laying aside every weight” We now come to the Acropolis. It is a rook about two miles In circumference at the base, and one thousand feet in circumference at the top, and three hundred feet high On it has been crowded more elaborate architecture and soulpture than in any other place under the whole heavena Originally a fortress, afterward a congregation of temples and statutes and pillars, their ruins an enchantment from which no observer ever breaks away. No wonder that Aristides thought it the center of all things—Greece, the center of the world; Attica, the center of Greece; Athens, the center of Attica, and the Acropolis, the center of Athena Earthquakes have shaken . it Verres plundered it Lord Elgin, the English embassador at Constantinople, got permission of the sultan to remove from the Acropolis fallen pieces of the building, but he took from the building to England the finest statues, removing them at an expense of eight hundred thousand dollara A storm overthrew many of the statues of the Acropolis Morosini, the general, attempted to remove from a pediment the sculptured car and horses of Victory, but the clumsy machinery dropped it, and all was lost ’The Turks turned the building into a powder magazine, where the Venetian guns dropped a fire Jtbat by explosion sent the columns flying in the air, and falling cracked and splintered.

But the overshadowing wonder of all the hill is the Parthenon. In days when money was ten times more valuable than now, it cost four million end six hundred thousand dollars. It is a Dorio grandeur, having forty-six columns, each column thirty-four feet high and six feet two -inches in diameter, Wondrous intereolumniationsl Painted porticos, architraves tinged with ochre, shields of gold hung up, lines of most delicate curve, figures of horses and men and women and gods, oxen on _ the way to sacrifice, statues of the deities Dionysius, Prometheus, Hermes, Demeter, Zeus, Hera, Poseidon; in one frieze twelve divinities; centaurs in buttle; weaponry from Marathon; chariot of night; chariot of the morning; horses of the sun, the fates, the furies; statue of Jupiter holding in his right hand the thunderbolt; silverfooted chair in which Xerxes watohed the battle of Salamis only a few miles away. Here is the colossal statue of Minerva in full armor, eyes of graycolored stone; figure of a sphinx on her head, griffins by her side (which are lions with eagle's beak), spear in one hand, statue of liberty in the other, a shield carved with battle scenes, and even the slippers sculptured and tied on with thongs of gold. Far out at sea the sailors saw this statue of Minerva rising high above all the temples, glittering in the sun. Here are statues of equestrians, statue of a lioness, and there are the graces, and yonder a horse in bronze. There is a statue, said in the time of Augustus to have of its own accord turned around from east to west and spit blood; statues made out of shields conquered in battle; statue of Anacreon, drunk and singing; statue of Olympodorus, a Greek, memorable for the fact that he was cheerful when others were cast down, a trait worthy of sculpture. But, walk on and around the Acropolis, and yonder yon see a statue of Hygeia, and tire statue of Theseus fighting the Mrnotaur and the statue of Hercules slaying serpents. No wonder that Petronius said' it was easier to find a god than a man in Athens. Oh, the Acropolis! The most of its temples and statues made from the marble quarries of Mount Pentelicum, a little way from the city. I have here on my table a block of the Parthenon made out of this marble, and op it is the sculpture of Phidias. Acropolis. I brought it from the This specimen has on it the dust of ages, and the mqsk&. oi explosion and battle, but *cu can get from it some idfip-ot the delicate luster of the Acropolis when it was covered with a mountain of this nrtlrble out into all the exquisite nhapes that genius could contrive, and striped withsilver and aflame with gold. The Aoropolis in the morning light of those ancients must have shown as though it were an aerolite cast off from the noonday sun. The temples must have looked like petrified foam. The-whole Acropolis must have seen like the white breakers of the great ocean of time. But we can not stop longer here, for there is a hill near by of mord interest, though it has not one chip of marble to suggest a statue or a temple. We hasten down the Acropolis to ascend

me AreopagUB, or man U1U| IK culled. It took only about three minutes to walk the distance, and the two hill tops are so near that what I said in religious discourse on Mars Hill was heard distinctly by' some English gentlemen on the propolis. This Mars Hill is a rough pile of rock fifty feet high. It ws« famous long before New Testament times. The Persians easily and terribly assaulted the Acropolis from this hill top. Here assembled the court to try criminals. It was held in the night time, so that the faces of the j udges could not Be seen, nor the faces of the lawyers who made the plea, and so, instead of a trial being one of emotion, it must have been one of cool justice. But, there v<as one oceasion on this hill memorable above all others. A little man, physically weak, and his rhetoric described by himself as contemptible, had by his sermons rocked Athens with commotion, and he was summoned, either by writ of law or hearty invitation, to come upon that pulpit of rock and give a specimen of his theology. All the wiseacres of Athens turned out and turned up to hear him. The more venerable of them sat in the amphitheater, the granite seats of which are still visible, but the other people s warmed on all sides of the hill and at the base of it to hear this man, whom some called a fanatic, and others called t, road-cap, and others a blasphemer, and others styled contemptuously “this fellow.” Paul arrived in answer to the writ or invitation and confronted them and gave them the biggest dose that mortals ever took. He was so built that nothing' could scare him, and as for Jupitor and Athenla, the god and the goddess, whose images were in full sight on the adjoining hill, he had not so. much regard for them as he had for the ant that was crawling in the sand under his feet. In that audience were the first orators of the world, and they had voices like Antes when they were passive and like trumpets when they were aroused, and I think they laughed iu the sleeves of their gowns as this insig-nificant-looking man rose to speak. In that audience were socialists, who knew every tiling, or thought they did, and from the end of the longest hair on the Cop of their craniums to the end of the nail on the longest toe,. they were stuffed with hypercrltlcism, and they leaned back with a supercilious look to listen. A* in IMS, I stood on that rock where Paul stood, and a slab of which I brought from Athens by consent of the queen, through Mr. Trtooupis, thb prime minister, and had placed in yonder memorial wail, I read the whole story Bible in hand. What I have so far said in this discourse was ueosssary in order that you may understand the boldness, the defiance, the holy recklessness, the mag nificenoe of Paul’s speech. The first thunderbolt he launched at the oppo site hill—the Acropoll^—that moment all a-gUtter with idols and temples He cried put: “God who made th< world.’’ Why, they though that Pro metbeus made it, that Mercury made it that Apollo made it, that Poseidoi it, that Eroa made it, that Pan d roc us made it, that Boreas made it that it took all the gods of the Par thenon, yea, all the gods and goddeasei of the Acropolis to make it, and hen stands a man without any ecclesiastics title, neither a IX D„ nor even i reverend, declaring that the world wa made try the Lord of Heaven and earth the Inference that all th« the Acropolis. «

several earthq t that was the eei had ever felt The Persians had bom* Wed the Acropolis from the heights of Mars Hill, bntthis PahlinS bombavcb ttent was greater and more terrific; “What,” said hie hedrere, “haVe w«S heed hauling with many yokes of oxen for centuries these blocks from the quarries of 'Mount Pentelicum, and have we had onr architects putting up these structures of unparalleled splendor, and have we had the greatest of all sculptors, Phidias, with his men, chiseling away at those wondrous pediments and cutting away at these freizes, and have we taxed the nation’s resources to the utmost, now to be told that those statues see nothing, hear nothing know nothing!” Oh, Paul, stop for a moment and give these startled and overwhelmed auditors time to catch their breath! Make a rhetorical pause! Take a look around you at the interesting landscape, and give your hearers time to recover! No, he does not make even a period, or so much as a colon or semi-colon; but launches the second thunderbolt right after the first, and in the same breath goes on to say: God “dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” O, Panl! Is not deity more in the Parthenon, or more in the Theseum, or more in the Erechtheium, or more in the temple of Zens Olympius than in the open air, more than on the hill where we are sitting, more than oh Mount Hymettus out yonder, from which the bees get their honey. “No more!" responds Paul. “He dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” Surely that must be the closing paragraph ff the sermon. His auditors must .be let up from the nervous strain. Paul has smashed the Acropolis and smashed the national pride of the Greeks, and what more can he say? Those Grecian orators, standing on that place, always closed their addresses with something sublime and climacteric, a peroration, and Paul is going to give them-a peroration which will eclipse ifrpower and majesty all that be has yet said. Heretofore he has hurled one thunderbolt at a time; now, he will close by hurling two at once. The little, old mail, under the power of his speech, has straightened himself up, and 'the stoop has gone out of his shoulders, and he looks about three feel taller than when he began, and his eyes, which were quiet, became two flames of fire, and his face, which was calm in the introduction, now depicts a whirlwind of emotion as he tied the two thunderbolts together with a cord of Inconsumable courage and hurls them at the crowd now standing or sitting aghast—the two thunderbolts of resurrection and last judgment His closing words were: “Because He hath appointed a day, in which He will jndge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all. ■>*’*•' ra that He hath raised'51m"from the dead.” Remember those thoughts were to them novel and provocative; that Christ the despised Nazarene, would come to be tlieir judge, and they should have to get up out of their cemeteries to stand before Him and take their eternal doom. Mightiest burst of elocutionary power ever heard. The ancestors of some of those Greeks had heard Demosthenes in his oration on the Crown, and heard dSschines in his speeches against Timarclius and Ctesinhon.and heard Plato

in his great argument for immortally of i the soul, had heard Socrates on sraf death-bed, suicidal cup of hemlock in hand, leave his hearers in emotion too great to bear, bad in the theater of Dionysius, at the foot of the Acropolis (the ruins of its piled-up amphitheater and the marble floor of its orchestra still there) seen enacted the tragedies of ASschylus and Sophocles, but neither had the ancestors of these Grecians on Mars Hill, or themselves ever heard or witnessed such tornadoes of moral power as that with whieh Paul now whelmed his hearers. At those tw*> two thoughts of resurrection and judgment the audience sprang to their feet. Some moved they adjourn to some other day to hear mor^ on the same theme but others would have torn the sacred orator to pieces. The record says: “Some mocked.” I suppose it means that they mimicked the solemnity of the voice, that they took off his impassioned gesticulation, and they cried out: ‘‘Jew! Jew! Where did you study rhetoric? You ought to hear our orators speak! You had better go back to your business of tent-making. Our Lycurgns knew more in a minute than you will know in a month. Say, where did you get that crooked back and those weak eyes from? Ha! ha! You try to teach us Greoians! What nonsense you talk about when you speak of resurrection and judgment. Now little old man, climb down the side of Mars Hill and get out of sight as soon as possible.” “Some moeked.” But that scene adjourned to the day of which the sacred orator had spoken—the day of resurrection and judgment. As that night in Athens I put say tired head on my pillow, and the exciting scenes of the day passed through my mind, I thought on the same subject on which as a boy I made my commencement speech in Niblo’s theater on graduating day from the New York university, via: “The Moral Effects of Sculpture and Architecture,” but further than I could have thought In boyhood I thought in Athens that % night the moral effects of architecture and sculpture depend on what you do in great buildings after they are put up, and upon the character of the men whose forms you cut in marble—yea! I thought that night what struggles the martyrs went through in order that in our time the Gospel might have full swing; and I thought that night what a brainy religion it must be that could absorb a hero like him whom we have considered to-day, a .man the superior of the whole human race, the infidels hut pigmies or homunculi compared with him; and I thought what a rapturous consideration it is that through the same grace that saved Paul we shall confront this great apostle, and shall have the opportunity, amid the familiarities of the skies, of asking him what was the greatest occasion of all his life. He may say: “The shipwreck of Melita." He may say: “The riot at Ephesus.” He may say: “My last walk out on' the road to Ostia.” But, 1 think, he will say: “The day I stood on Mars Hill addressing the indignant Areopagites, and looking off upon the towering form of the goddess Minerva, and the majesty of the Parthenon, and all the brilliant divinities of the Acropolis. That account in the Bible was true. My spirit was stirred within me when I saw the city wholly given up to idolatry!” . —Mind what you run after.

To this, happily, those who passed the McKinley tariff give an answer. They assert that the rate fixed by the McKinley tariff is a fair and moderate expression of the protectionist policy, and anything below it falls so far short of being rated protection. Previous to the passage of the McKinley tariff the general rate oi duly was about SO per cent, as shows in the above table. This rate was not considered a fair protective rate and was accordingly raised by the McKinley tariff to between 36 and 40 per cent Judged by this standard the only countries enumerated above which can be considered as having protective tariff* are Russia, Portugal and the United States, and possibly Italy. Sweden and Norway would be considered partially protective, but where would Germany, AustrlarHungary and France be classed, the highest of whose rates is less than a third of that imposed by oar tariff before it was made moderately protective by the McKinley bill, and not a fourth of that which we now have? If a tariff of over 35 per cent on free and dutiable goods is but fair and moderate protection then the tariffs of 6.74 in Germany and 9.13 in France are free trade tariffs. But we are told that Germany and France have protective tariffs. If this is the case how can it be said that the McKinley tariff affords but fair and moderate protection? Does this show that the progressive nations of Europe have adopted oar policy? On the contrary, it is to such countries as Russia, Portugal and Italy, despotic monarchies, with down-trod-den and oppressed people anxious hat unable through poverty to leave their native land; it is to such countries as these that thi advocates of. high tariffism point as the progressive European nations which have adopted our policy.

WHAT IT COSTS. What the Tariff, on Tin Plate Coats the Consumer. The failure of the crops abroad and the heavy demand for our breadstuffa resulting from it have greatly increased our exports of these products. Coming as this does directly after the imposition of higher duties by the Mo Kinley tariff the supporters of this measure have renewed their old assertions that high tariffs do not restrict foreign trade. They have even gone so far as to put forth the claim that the McKinley tariff has caused the increase in our export trade. The absurdity of such a claim is too apparent to need a moment’s attention. The effects of European tariffs upon, commerce furnishes undoubted proof of how high duties restrict imports and exporta Those nations which impose the least restrictions hive the greatest commerce. To show this we have divided the leading European countries into-the following classes according to the average rate of duty which they impose upon imports. The first class includes those countries which impose less than five per cent, upon the whole amount dutiabla The states belonging to this class are Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland a»'l the limited Kingdom. Their conbined rate is 483 per cent The second class consists of countries levying duties of between five and ten per cent and includes Austria, Hungary* France and Germany. The combined rate of these states averages 7.83 per cent of their combined- imports. The third olass comprises the countries which -levy more than ten per cent duty on imports. These states are Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Italy and Russia. Their combined rate averages 3A10 per cent on their wheat imports. The combined imports of all the states embraced in these three classes amount to 96,588,800,000 and their combined'population to 307.900,000 souls The following table shows, In condensed form, ths percentage of total population and imports belonging to each class.
