The St. Louis. One of the new war ships is to be named after St. Louis. This is appropriate. The vessels ought to bear the names of cities instead of Indian names that mean nothing and convey to foreign nations the idea that we are still vexed wit^ the Indian problem and our cities liable at any time to be''attacked by savage foes. If the ships are named after our vigorous and growing western towns, foreigners will learn that the United States is no longer a wilderness. In this respect there is a good deal in a name. This fact is equally true of that wonderful remedy REID’S GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CURE. This remedy alleviates the pain that ensues when any member of the excretory system is attacked by removing the cause of the disease. Most of the maladies that attack the lungs involve the kidneys as well. If an opiate be taken the cause of the trouble is not reached for while an opiate will relieve pain it will not cure disease. This is admitted bv every physician. REID’SGERMAN COUGH AND KlDNEY CURE incites the kidneys to action, relieves the lungs from the pressure caused by the congested blood vessels and assists the digestion. Get it of any ^dealer. The small bottles are twenty-five cents, the large ones fifty cents. SYLVAN, REMEDY CO., Peoria, 111.

^German Syrup” Justice of the Peace, George Wilkinson, of Lowville, Murray Co., Minn., makes a deposition concerning a severe cold. Listen to it. “In the Spring of 1888, through exposure I contracted a very severe cold that settled on my lungs. This was accompanied by excessive night sweats. One bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup broke up the cold, night sweats, and all and left me in a good, healthy condition. .1 can give German Syrup my most earnest commendation." ® BUNTING i When you buy Flags you want the best.

Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage Likens Jesus Unto It. in* Arm* or Love, like the Cedar-* Ilrahches, ore Spread Out to Enfold and Shelter the We»ry—Whomever Will Mot Come. The following discourse was delivered by Rev. • T. DeWitt Talmage in, the Brooklyn tabernacle, the text being: A goodly cedar, and under It shall dwell all' fowl of every wing,—Eaekiel xvli., Si. The cedar of Lebanon is a royal tree. It stands six thousand feet above the level of the soil. A missionary counted the coneentrie circles and found one tree three thousand five hundred years old—long-rooted, broad-branched, sir the year in luxuriant foliage. The same branches that bent in the hurricane that David saw sweeping over Lebanon, rock to-day over the head of the American traveler. This monarch of the forest, with its leafy fingers, plucks the honors of a thousand yetjrs and sprinkles them upon its own uplifted brow, as though some great hallelujah of Heaven had been planted upon Lebanon, and. it were rising up with all its long-armed strength to take hold of the hills whence it came. Oh! what a fine plaec for birds to nest in! In hot days they come thither—the eagle, the dove, the swallow, the sparrow and the raven. There is to many of us, a complete fascination in the structure and habits of birds. They seem not more of earth than Heaven—ever vacillating between the two.QNo wonder that Audubon, with his gun, tramped through all of the American forests, in search of new specimens. Geologists have spent years in finding the track of a bird’s claw in the new red sandstone. There is enough of God’s architecture in a snipe's bill or a grouse’s foot to eonfound all the universities. Musicians have, with clefs and bars, tried to catch the sound of the nightingale and robin. Among the first things that a child notices, is a swallow at the eaves; and grandfather goes out with a handful of crumbs to feed the snow-birds. The Bible is full of ornithological allusions. The birds of the Bible are not dead, and stuffed, like those of the museum, but living birds, with fluttering wings and plumage. “Behold the fowls of the air,” . says Christ. “Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down,” exclaims Obadiab.

“(invest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks?” says Job. David describes his desolatiou by saying: “I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert; 1 watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.” "Yett, the stork in the heaven knowetli her appointed time; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the fiord”—so says Jeremiah. Ezekiel in my text intimates that Christ is the cedar, and the people from all quarters are the birds that lodge among the branches. “It shall be a goodly cedar, and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing.” As in Ezekiel’s time, as now—Christ is a goodly cedar, and to Him are flying all kinds of people—young and old, rich and poor; men high-soaring as the eagle, those fierce as the raven, and those gentle as the dove. “All fowl of every wing.” First, the young may come. Of the eighteen hundred and ninety-two years that have passed since Christ came, about sixteen hundred have been wasted by the good in misdirected effort. Until Robert Railces came there was no organized effort for saving the young. We spend all our strength trying to bend trees, \then a little pressure would have been sufficient for the sapling. We let men go down to the very bottom of sin before we try to lift them up. It is a great deal easier to keep a traip on the track than to get it on w&en it is off. The experienced reinsman checks the fiery steed at the first jump, for when he gets in full swing, the swift hoofs clicking fire from the pavement anft the hit between his teeth, his momentum is irresistible. It is said that the young men must be allowed sow their “wildoats.” I have noticed that those who sow their wild oats seldom try to raise any other kind of crop. There

are two opposite aestimes. 11 you are going to Heaven yon had lletter take the straight road, and not try to go to lloston by the way of New Orleans. What is to be the history of this multitude of young people around me today? 1 will take you by the hand and show yon a glorious sunrise. I will not whine about this thing, nor groan about it; but come, young men and maidens, Jesus wants yon. His hand is love; His voice is music; His smile is Heaven. Religion will put no handcuffs on your wrist, no hopples on your feet, no brand on four forehead. I went through the heaviest snow storm I have ever known to see a dying girl. Her cheek on the pillow was as white as the snow on the casement. Her round large eye had not lost any of its luster. Loved ones stood all around the bed, trying to hold her back. Her mother could not give her np; and one nearer to her than either father or mother was frantic with grief. I said: “Fanny, how do you feel?” “Oh!” she said, “happy! happy! Mr Talmage, tell all the young folks that religion will make them happy.” As I came out of the room, loader than all of the sobs and wailings of grief, heard the clear, sweet, glad voice of the dying girl: "Good night; we shall meet again on the other side of the river.” The next Sabbath we buried her. We brought white flowers and laid them on the coffin. There was, in all that crowded church, but one really happy and delighted face, and that was the face of Fanny. Oh! I wish that now my Lord .lesns would go through the audience, and take all these flowers of youth, and garland them on His brow. The cedar is a fit refuge for birds of brightest plumage and swiftest wibg. See, they fly! they fly! “All fowl of'every wing.” Again: Kremark that the old may come. You say: “Suppose a man has to go on crutches; suppose he is blind, suppose he is deaf; suppose that ninetenths of his life has been wasted.” Then I answer, come with crutches; come, old men, blind ,and deaf, come to Jesus. If yon would sweep your hand around before yoat blind eyes, the first thing you would touch would be the cross. It is hard for on aged man or woman to have grown old without religion. Their taste is gone. The peach and grape have lost their flavor. ' They say that somehow fruit does not taste as it used to. Their hearing -gets defective, and they miss a great df*T that is said in their presence. Their friends have nil gone, and eve.-ybody seems so strange. The world seems to go away from them, and they are left all alone. They begin to feel

the one yon lean ion. It la the cane that the Uible speaks of, when it says: “Thy roi and thy staff, they comfort me.” I want to Rive yon better spectacles than those yon now look through, it "is the spiritual eyesight of Divine grace. Christ will not think that you are in the way. Does your head tremble, with palsy of old age? Lay in on Christ's bosom. Do yon feel lonely now that, you companions and children are gone? I think Christ has them. They are safe in His keeping. Very soon He will take yon where they are. I take hold of yonr arm and try to lead you to a plaee where you can put down all your burden. Go with me. Only a little while longer, and your sight will come again, and your hearing will come again, and with the strength of an immortal athlete you will stepon the pavement of Heaven. No crutches In Heaven; no sleepiess nights in Heaven; no cross looks for old people. Dwelling there for ages, no one will say: “Father, you know nothing about this; step back, you are in the w:»y.” Oh, how many dear old folks Jesus has put to sleepl How sweetly He has closed their eyes! now gently folded their arms! How He has put His hand on their silent hearts and said: “Best now, tired pilgrim. It is all over. The tears will never start again. Hush! hushl” So, He gives His beloved sleep. 1 think the most beautiful object on earth is an old Christian—the hair white, not with the frosts of winter, but the blossoms of life. I never feel sorry for a Christian old man. Why feel sorry for those upon whom the glories of the eternal world; are about to burst? They are going to the goodly cedar. Though their wings are heavy with age, God shall renew their strength like the eagle, and they shall make their nest in the cedar. “All fowl of every wing.” Again: The very bad, the outrageously sinful, may come. Men talk of the gracei of God as though it were so many yawls long and so many ynrels deep. People point to the dying thief as an encouragement to the sinner. How much better it would be to point to our own case and say: “If God saved

us He can save anybody.” there may be those here who never had one earnest word said to them about their souls. Consider me as putting my hand on your shoulder and locking in your eves. Gcd has been good to you. You ask: “How do you know that? He has been very hal'd on me.” “Where did yon come from?” “Home.” “Then you have a home. Have you ever thanked God for your home? Have you children?” “Yes.” “Have you ever thanked God for your children? Who keeps them safe? Were yon ever sick?” .“Yes.” “Who made yon well? Have yon been fed every day? Who feeds you? Put your hand on your pulse. Who makes it throb? Listen to the respiration of your lungs. W ho helps you to breathe? Have you a Bible in the house, spreading before yon the future life? Who gave you that Bible?” Oh! it has been a stoiy of goodness and mercy all the way through. You have been one of God’s pet children. Who fondled yon, and caressed yon, and loved yon? And when you went astray, and wanted to come back, did He ever refuse? I know of a father who, after his son came back the fourth time, said: “No, I forgave you three times, bnt I will never forgive you again.” And the son went off and died. Bnt God takes back His children the thousandth time as cheerlully* as the first. As easily as with my handkerchief 1 strike the dust off a book, God will wipe out all your sins. There are hospitals for ,‘incurables.” When men are hopelessly sick, they are sent there. Thank Godlihere is no hospital for spiritual jnrcurables. Though you had the wdrst leprosy that ever struck a soul, your flesh shall come again like the flesh of a little child. 0, this mercy of God! I am told it is an ocean. Then 1 place on it four swift-sailing craft, with compass and charts, and choice rigging and skillful

navigators, ana x teil tnem to launcn away and discover for me the extent of this ocean. That craft puts out in one direction, and sails to the north; this craft to the south; this to the east; this to " the west. They crowd on all their canvass and sail ten thousand years, and one day come up the harbor of Heaven, and I shout to them from the beach, “Have you found the shore?” and they answer: “No shore to God’s mercy!” Swift angels, dispatched from the throne, attempt to go. across it For one million years they fly and fly, but then come back and fold their wings at the foot of the throne, and cry: “No shore, no shore to God's mercy!” Mercyl Mercy! Mercy! I sing it I preach it I pray it Here I find a man tound hand and foot to the devil, but with one stroke of the hammer of God's truth the chains fall off and he is free forever. Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! There is no depth it can not fathom, there is no height it can not scale, there is no infinity it can not compass. I take my stand under this goodly cedar and see the flocks flying hither. They are torn with the shot of temptation, and wounded, and sick, and scarred. Some fought with iron beak, some once feasted on carcasses, some were fierce of eye and cruel of talon, but they came, flock after flock—“all fowl of every wing.” Again: All the dying will find their nest in this goodly cedar. It is cruel to destroy a bird’s nest, but death does not hesitate to destroy one. There was a beautiful nest in the next street. Lovingly the parents brooded offer it There were two or three little robins in the nest. The scarlet fever thrust its hot hands into the nest and the birds are gone. Only those who have their nests in the are safe goodly cedar They hang over them “the feathers of the Almighty.” Ohi to have those soft'warm, eternal wings stretched over us! Let the storm beat, and the branches of the cedar toss on the vrind—no danger. When a storm comes you can see the birds flying to the woods. Ere the storm of doath comes down let us fly to the goodly cedar. Of what great varieties Heaven will be made np! There come men who once were hard and cruel, and desperate l» wickedness, yet now, soft and {*d by graoe, they coine into : “All fowl of every wing.” And be re they come, the children who were reared in loving home circles, floeking through the every wing, ■■■from of life: “All fowl of were white, and homes; these were from southern copperfrom Inof every It

==- go.” He was very aged. HU daughter said to him: "Are you sick?” He said: “No; but it U time for me to go. Have John put it in two of the morning papers, that my friends may know that I am gone. Good-by;” and as quick as that, God had taken him. It U easy to go when the time comes. There are no ropes thrown out to pull us ashore; there are no ladders let down to pull us ashore; Christ comes, and takes us by the hand, and says: “You have had enough of this; come up higher.” Do you hurt a lily when you pluck it? -Is there any rudeness when Jesus touches the cheek, and the red rose of health whitens into the lily of immortal purity and gladness? When autumn comes and the giant of the woods smites his anvil, and the leafy sparks fly on the autnmnal gale then there will be thousands of birds gathering in the tree at the corner of the field, just before departing to warmer climes, and they will call and sing until the branches drop with the melody There is a better ;clime for us, and by and by we Shall migrate. We gather in the branches of the goodly cedar in preparation for departure. You heard our voices in the opening song; you will hear them in the closing song—voices good, voices bad, voices happy, voices distressful— “all fowl of every wing.” By and by we shall be gone. If all of this audience be saved—as I hope they will by— I see them entering into life. Some have had it hard, some have had it easy. Some were brilliant, some were dull. Some were rocked by pious parentage, others have had their infantile cheeks scalded with the tears of some woe. Some crawled, as it were, into the Kingdom on thenhands and knees, and some seemed to enter in chariots of flaming fire. Those fell from a ship's mast, these were crushed in a raining disaster. They are God’s singing birds now. No gun of huntsman shall shoot them down. They gather on the trees of life and fold their wings on the branches, and, far away from frosts and winds, and night, they sing until the hills are flooded with joy and the skies drop music, and the arches of pearl-send back the echoes —"All fowl of every wing.” Behold the saints beloved of God, Washed are their robes in Jesns’ blood Brighter than angels; lo. they shine. Their glories splendid and snblime. Through tribulation great they came. They bore the cross and scorned the shame; Now, in the heavenly tempest blest, With God they dwell; on Him they rest. While everlasting ages roll, Etemai love sballfeast their soul, And scenes of bliss, forever new, Rise in succession to their view.

THE DIGNITY OF MAN. Ilia Power of Mind Makes Him Superior to Brute Force and Animal Acuteness. In reason and understanding, man is alone. The ox surpasses him in strength, the antelope in speed, the hound in keenness of nostril, the eagle of far-reaching sight, the rabhit in quickness of hearing, the honey-bee in delicacy of tongue, and the spider in fineness of touch. Man's power, therefore, eonsisteth not in what he can lift, or how fast he can run, or how strong a wrestler he can throw—for in these respects the ox, the ostrich and the hyena are his superior—but by his reason he comes forth to rule all, through his ingenious contrivance to outrun, ontlift, outwrestle, outsee, outhear, outdo. At his all-conquering decree the forest that had stood for ages steps aside to let him build his cabin and cultivate his farm. The sea which raved and foamed upon the race has become a crystal pathway for commerce to march on. The thunder-cloud that slept lazily above the mountain is made to come down and carry mail-bags. Man, dissatisfied with his slowness of advancement, shouted to the Water and the Fire: “Come and lift!” “Come ard draw!” “Come and help!” And they answered: “Ay, ay, we come;” and they joined hands— the fire and the water—and the shuttles fly, and the rail-train rattles on, and the steamship comes coughing, panting, flaming across the deep. He elevates the telescope to the heavens, and, as easily as through the stethoscope the physician hears the movement of the lung, the astronomer catches the pulsation of distant system of worlds throbbing with life. He takes the microscope and discovers that there are hundreds of thousands of animalcule living, moving, working, dying within a circle that could be covered with the point of a pin—animals to which a rain-drop would be an ocean, a rose-leaf a hemisphere, and the flash of a fire-fly lasting enough to give them light to several generations.—Ladies’ Home Journal.

Sacred Note or Japan. Although well known to travelers, and collectors of curiosities, the horn nut, or “sacred nut” of Japan was almost wholly unknown to fruit and nut dealers in this country prior to 18S8, when a Broadway (New York) commission merchant received the first large consignment. They are called “sacred nuts” because used in certain forms of Japanese worship, where they are placed on the altar and ignited. Being very rich in oil, they burn with a hot, bluish flame, and give off a peculiar odor, the fumes being supposed to rise as an acceptable incense to the gods. They grow under water and have a leaf like an American lily, the form of the nut itself being an almost exact counterpart of an Asian buffalo's head, drooping horns and all. In the raw state they are hard and tasteless, but when cooked the flavor resembles that of boiled chestnuts. They are said to retain their edible qualities for iq>wards of twenty years.—St. Louis Republic. __ A Providential Dispensation. A curious story comes from Wenghslang. The town suffers from inundations of the Yellow river, and two years ago a movement was started by the local magistrate to build a breakwater. The chief difficulty lay in the want of sufficiently large stones. Suddenly, however, to the astonishment of the community, a heavy Storm of wind and rain deluged the country, and brought down an endfess quantity of huge stones exactly suited to the purpose. The people naturally regarded the incident as a direct manifestation of Divine power in aid of a great public undertaking, and the governor of the district cites a fact which conclusively proves the supernatural origin of the event. One of the stones, he says, which was as large as a house, was inscribed with seal characters, two of which, meaning “work,” and “stone” respectively he was able to decipher.—London Graphic. —We are too prone to neglect the little things of life. It is a wonder that this.is true, but it is so. We plunge along for the greater gifts and let the little affairs alone to take care of themselves, and they avenge themselves op us for this continued neglect by absconding, or, most likely, by never appearing at all. This is not as it should be. Let ns all add to our comfort a thousand-fold by giving due attention to the little things of life. — Dixie Farmer. __

STATE BOUNDARIES. Kot Infrequently DlfUciiltle* Arise Concerning llirm. A ftqr one of the Emperor Napoleon’s great victories the English primqprainister, looking at n map of Europe, said mournfully, “Roll up the map; it will not be wanted these ten years.” What he meant was that it would be ten years before the fighting over the boundaries of the European states came to an end. And in fact these boundaries hare been fosght over since then for nearly e'ght times ten years, and are likely to be still further and radically altered in the coming decades. P This fact makes it interesting to ask how the states of our own Union came to fix their boundaries, and how claims which often conflicted were peaceably adjusted. When territories are admitted nowadays as states, like , Washington, or North and South Dakota, the answer is easy. The United States government controls the land originally, and congress fixes the limits both of the territory and of the state or states created from it. But the situation of the eastern states at the start was very different, When their boundaries were first defined, they were colonies unconnected with and often hostile to one another. Nearly all pf them based their claims to territory on vague grants from English kings to explorers, colonial companies, or royal favorites. As the interior land was almost without value and little sought after, and as the sea coast was the only important district, the grants were drawn with great carelessness. For instance, the original grant for the colony of Connecticut included a strip of land from Long Island Sound to the Pacific ocean. Subsequently a part of the same land, together with territory given long before to Massachusetts and New Hampshire, were included in the grant to New York. Examples of rival claims to territory might be given almost by the score. What is now Vermont was claimed by New^Torlc nr.d New Hampshire; Ohio was claimed by Connecticut and Virginia, and there were other disputes as to territory in the south. The wholesale Connecticut grant made trouble as far west as Ohio, where until the year 18'JO the New England state owned all the land along Lake Erie. The name of the “Western Reserve” of Ohio is a reminder of a claim that was not merely made but partially allowed.

Massachusetts, too, owned the state of Maine for two hundred years, after which it generously surrendered its claim. Virginia for years owned sections of other states, and in fact at one time fairly divided with Connecticut the ownership of Ohio. Even when the general ownership of land was settled, the question as to where the exact bofindarics of states ran made trouble. Pennsylvania and Maryland, quarreled so bitterly over their boundary that bloodshed of rival claimants on the border was of constant occurrence. But the dispute was settled finally in 1767 by the runninof f “Mason and Dixon’s line,” famous a effltury later as the boundary between freedom and slavery. In some states the discovery of mistakes in generally accepted boundary lines has transferred important towns from one state to another. For instance, the citizens of Pawtucket were counted in Ilristol county, Massachusetts, until 1861, when a new survey transferred Pawtucket to Rhode Island, while a part of the now great manufacturing city of Fall River, until then supposed to be in Rhode Island, was handed over to Massachusetts. Even with the accurate surveys of to-day, disputes arise on the same perplexing question. Ohio and Ind:ana still hold rival and unsettled boundary claims. Even where a river runs along the state borders, trouble is not necessarily averted; for the question then arises, Who owns the right to the river? ADd if this ownership is important, as in the case of the oyster-beds in the Potomac, between Maryland and Virginia, fierce quarrels follow, even in these days. Yet when we consider the warlike experiences of Europe in these very questions, with far less complexity of grants and titles than in our own states, it is greatly to the honor of our country that results have been so peaceably attained.—Youth’s Companion.

About Bolts. For the woman who is inclined to bo stoat, or the one who wishes to keep her figure looking as slender as possii ble, it is best to have the various pieces of underwear so arranged that they will all button upon one yoke, and this yoke should be under the corsets. In assuming your corsets just remember that if they arc to be comfortable and keep the outline of your shape, and not that which the dressmaker would wish you to have, let them' be the last thing you assume before putting on ypnf dress, and do be a little careful in choosing; your corset. Get one that is not hoc large, or not too small, but to fit you, and then you will not have,either a red nose from tight lacing, or your hands frozen from the same cause, nor will you be uncomfortable because it is sc loose upon you. Nobody wants people to lace; that is, nobody with any sense, but it has been proven beyond a doubl that a sensible, properly-made corset U at once desirable and healthful—La dies’ Home Journal. —Merchant—“What kind of cider is that?” Farmer —“Tramp cider.” Merchant—“What do you call it that for?” Farmer—“It never works.” THE MARKETS.
