his daring advontcrea ia * on the stormy Atlantic, has a sot sail on a novel and interest* l the ocean twice before, first In the “Nantilna,” when ho was accompanied by his brother, who has sines died, and again in the “Mermaid," both of these trips being raado to Land’s End, England. A few years ago he again attempted the passage in a boat called the “Dart Secret," but, after battling

with contrary winds, high seas and terrific storms, he reluctantly consented to give up his efforts after a struggle of dxty-two days, and returned to America on a bark which kindly consented to take him and his sea beaten boat back to Now York. The captain is a very interesting character. He is a man of Used purposes, very hard to turn from the object which he has in view. He has made the subject of small boat sailing Bach a study that he is prepared to meet every argument against the risks which spring to the minds of his critics, yet the New York Herald put the cose in a nutshell when It said: "The fact that Capt Andrews can cross the ocean in a cockle ■hell merely proves that small boats are safe when a Capt. Andrews sails them. Amateurs should remember this when the wind begins to sing.” The captain himself says that "half tho people who are drowned lose their lives because they do not realize that a boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might, or a ship loaded with a heavy cargo, but a row boat, sail boat or ordinary wooden vessel may capsize, but will, nevertheless, float Tho passengers on the great ocean Bteamcrs run some risk when they go to sea, but all around tho deck they see woodon boats hung up on which they are tanght to depend for their lives if-the big steamer goes down. These boats are often mushed against the great vessel or are capsized in lowering. I am alone in a wooden boat entirely under my own control, and, in my opinion, far safer than others.” An ingenious theory but hardly a fair one. Capt Andrews is by trade a piano maker/ Ho built the “Sapolio” at Atlantic City in tho presence of hundreds of people, and exhibited it on the Long Pier for several weeks. It is a canvas folding boat lined with half inch cedar

and decked o' canvas hinges from stem to stern, and daring Captain writes by an ining ship (when he is hundreds of miles from shore) that he finds the “ ‘Sapolio’ in a sea-way is a scrubber but very leaky.” No better proof of his coolness and pluek could be given. The start was made at 4:30 Wednesday, July 20th, the destination boing Palos, Spain. Capt. Andrews has instructions to scour tho seas until he disoovers that port and the starting point of Columbus. It is bolieved that, Bailing in a fourteen foot boat without so much as a hot cup of coffee to vary his diet of biscuits and canned goods, he will, single-handed, eclipse tho record of that Spanish-Italian adventurer who almost failed to cross the great ocoan with three ships, ISO men, after securing the Queen’s jewels to pawn and having the blessing of the Church thrown in. Th'i Columbus is sailing in a boat which had never been in water until the hour when he started on his 4,000 mile trip. He has been spoken in mid-ocean several times, scorning all assistance and confident of ultimate suoeess. His effort should interest all Americans as a test of pluck, endurance and good seamanship. That it is not a foolhardy affair is proved by lgs for- - mer success and by the notable trip in which he battled for sixty-two days without reaching the other side. Thousands of people saw the start, his presence at different points on the ocean has been noted by large numbers of vessels, and his landing on the other side will no doubt be made a matter of public demonstration and rejoicing. As he sailed from the pier he said, “In sixty days I will be in Spain,” and up to the last reports he had made better time than he anticipated. Every day during the voyage a bottle will bo thrown overboard noting the location and other information about the trip. it Capt. Andrews succeeds in reachtog Spain and joining in the October celebrations which will be hold to honor of tho discovery of America, he will then return in one of the great steamers and arrange to exhibit his boat and the log which he writes up «,--day by day, at the World’s Fair in Chicago, where he will .he one of the features of the magnificent display which the manufacturers of Sapolio are now perfecting. Tho assurance, we might almost say the impudence, of these aggressive manufacturers in -securing a Columbus of their own is probably without precedent in advertising.

—The earliest chest was simply the trunk of an oak tree scooped out and cut down the middle, one-half serving as a lid, which was at first kept closed by a strap of leather, and later by one made of iron.

The following discourse was sell sd by Ber. T. DeWitt Talmage for iication this week. The text is: S9*lo( w» also on ooaqwaaxl about with so great« cloud of witoesna.—I Co rinthians, rr, Crossing the Alps by the Mont Cenis pass,, or through the Mont Cenis tunnel, you are in a few hours set down at Verona, Italy, and in a few minutes begin examining one of the grandest ruins of the world—the Amphitheater. The whole world sweeps around you In a circle. You stand in the arena where the combat was once fought on the race run, and on all sides the seats arias, tier above tier, until you count forty elevations, or galleries, as I shall see fit to call them, in which sat the senator*, the kings and twenty-five thousand solicited spectators. At the sides of the arena, and under the galleries, are the cages in which the lions and tigers are kept without food until, frenzied with hunger ahd thirst, they are let out upon some poor victim, who, with his sword and alone, is condemned to meet them. I think that Paul himself onoe stood In such a place, and that it was not only figuratively, but literally, that he had. “fought with beasts at Ephesus.” / The gala day has come. From all the world the people are pouring into Verona. Men, women and children, orators and senators, great men and small, thousands upon thousands come, until the first gallery is full, and the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth —all the way up to the twentieth, all the way up to the thirtieth, all the way qp to the fortieth. Every place is filled. Immensity of audience sweeping the great circle. Silence! The time for the contest has come. A Roman official leads forth the victim into the arena. Let him get his sword, with a'firm grip, into his right hand. The twentyfiye thousand sit breathlessly watching. I hear the door at the side of the arena creak open. Out plunges the half-starved lion, his tongue athirst for blood, and, with a roar that brings all galleries to their feet, he rushes against the sword of the combatant. Do you know bow strong a stroke a man will strike when his life depends upon the first thrust of his blade? The will beast lame and bleeding, slinks back toward the side of the arena; then, rallying his wasting strength, ho comes up with fiercer eye and more terrible roar than ever, only to be driven hack with a fatal wound, while the combatant comes in with stroke after stroke, until the monster is dead at his feet, and the twenty-five thousand people clap their hands and utter a shout that makes the citv tremble. Sometimes the audience came to see a race; sometimes to see gladiators fight each other, until the people, compassionate for the fallen, turned their thumbs down as an appeal that the vanquished 1 c spared; and sometimes the combat was with wild beasts. To one of Die Roman amphitheatrical audiences of one hundred thousand people Vaul refers when he says: “We arc compassed about with so great a crowd of witnesses.” The direct reference in the last passage is made to a race; but elsewhere, having discussed that, I take now Paul’s favorite idea of the Christian life as a combat. The fact is that every Christian man has a lion to fight. Yours is a bad temper. The gates of the arena have been opened and this tiger has come to destroy your soul. It has lacerated you with many a wound, you have been thrown by it time and again, but in the strenglith of God yon have arisen to drive it back. I verily believe you will conquer. I think that the temptation is getting weaker and weaker. You have given it so many wounds t hat the prospect is that it will die, and you shall be the victor, through Christ Courage, brother! Do not let the sands of the arena drink the blood of your soul! Your lion is the passion for strong drink. You may have contended against it twenty years; but it is strong of body and thirsty of tongue. You have tried to fight it back with broken bottle or empty wine-flask. Nay! that is not the weapon. With the horrible roar ho will seize thee by the throat and rend thee limb from limb. Take this weapon, sharp and keen— reach up and get it from God's armory; the Sword of the- Spirit With that thou mayest drive him back and conquer!

Hut why specify, when every man and woman has a lion to fight. If there be one.here who has no besetting sin let him speak out, for him have I offended. If you have not found the lion, it is because you have let the lion eat you up. This very moment the contest goes on. The Trajan celebration, where ten thousand gladiators fought, and eleven thousand wild beasts were slain, was not so terrible a struggle as that which at this moment goes on in many a soul. . The combat was for the life of the body; this is for the life of the soul. That was with wild beasts from the jungle; this is with the roaring lion of hell. Men think, when they contend against an. evil habit, that they have to fight it all alone. No! They stand in they center of an immense circle of sympathy. Paul had been reciting the names of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Joseph, Gideon and Barak, and then says: “Being compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.” Before I get through I will show you that 'you fight in an arena, around which circle, in galleries above each other, all the kindling eyes and all the sympathetic hearts of the ages; and at every victory gained there comes down the thundering applause of a great multitude that no man can number. “Being com passed about with so great a cloud of witnesses” On the first elevation of the ancient amphitheater, on the day of the celebration, sat Tiberius, or AttgutuB, or the rdignisg king. So, in the great arena of spectators that watch our struggles, and in tffb first Divine gallery, as I shall call it, sits our King, one Jesus. On His head are many erownsl The Boman emperor got his place by cold-blooded conquests; but our King hath come to His place by the 'broken hearts healed and the tears wiped away, and the souls redeemed. The Boman emperor sat, with folded arms, indifferent as to whether the swordsmen Or the lion beat; but our King's sympathies are all with us. Nay, unheard-of condescension! I see Him the galleries into the in'the fight, shouting His voice js heard: I will help thee! I will the right hand of in the arena, thicken their slowly, the people

case is our brother,and He will see that we have fair play. He will forbid the rushing out of more lions than we can meet; He will not suffer ga to be tempted above that we are able. Thank God! The King is in the gallery! Ms eyes are ou us. His heart is with us. His hand will deliver us. “Blessed are all they who pat their trust in Him.” I look again, and see the angelic gallery. There they are, the angel that swung the sword at the gate of Eden, the same that Ezekiel saw upholding the throne of Gad, and from w'.hieh I look away, for the splendor is insufferable. Here are the guardian angels. That one watched a patriach; this one protected a child. That one has been pulling a soul out of temptation! All these are messengers of light! Those drovo the Spanish Armada on the rocks. This turned Sennacherib’s living hosts into a heap of one. hundred and eighty-five thousand corpses. Those, yonder, chantod the Christmas carol over Bethlehem, until the chant awoke the shepherds. These, at creation, stood in the balcony of Heaven, and serenaded the new-born world wrapped in swaddling clothes of light And there, holier and mightier than all, is Michael, the archangel. To command an earthly host gives dignity; but this one is leader of the twenty thousand chariots of God, and of the ten thousand times ten thousand angels. 1 think God gives' command to the archangel, and the archangel to the seraphim, and the seraphim to cherubim, until all the lower orders of Hea ven hear the command, and go forth on the high behest. Now, bring on your lions! Who can fear! All the spectators in the angelic gallery are our friends. “He shall give Ills angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall hear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.” Though the arena he crowded with temptations, we shall, with the angelic help, strike them down in the name of our God, and lepp on their fallen carcasses! G, bending throng of bright angelic faces, and swift wings, and lightning foot! I hail you to-day, from the dust and struggle of,the arena! I look again, and I see the gallery of the prophets and apostles. Who are those mighty ones up yonder? Uosea,. and Jeremiah, and Daniel, and lsaiah, and Paul, and Peter, and John, and James. There sits Noah waiting for all the world to come into the ark; and

Moses waiting till tne last Bed sea shall divide; and Jeremiah waiting for the Jews to return; and John, of the Apocalypse, waiting for the swearing of the angel that time shall "be no longer. ' Glorious spirits! Ye were howled at, ye were stoned; ye were spit upon! They have been in this fight themselves; and they are all with us. Daniel knows all -about lions. Paul fought with beasts at Ephesus. In the ancient amphitheater the people got so excited that they would shout from the galleries to the men in the arena: “At it again!” “Forwardl” “One more stroke!” “Look out!” “Fall back!” “Huzza! Huzza!” So in that gallery, prophetic and apostolic, they can not keep their peace. Daniel cries out: “Thy God will deliver thee front the mouth of the lions!” David fix* elaims: “He will not suffer thy foot tb be moved!” Isaiah calls out: “Feal*' not! I am with thee! Be not dismayed!” Paul exclaims: “Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” That throng of prophets and apostles can not keep still. They make the welkin ring with shouting and hallelujahs. I look again, and I see the gallery of the martyrs. Who is that? II ugh Latimer, sure enough! He would not apologize for the truth preached; and so he died, the night before swinging from the bod-post in perfect glee at the thought of emancipation. Who are that army of six thousand six hundred and sixty-six? They are the Theban legion who died for the faith. Here is a larger host in magnificent array— eight hundred and eighty-four thousand—who perished for Christ in the {iersecution of Diocletian. Yonder is a family group, Felicitas, of Home, and her children. While they were dying for the faith she stood encoi raging them. One son was whipped to death by thorns, another was flung from a rock, another was beheaded. At last the mother became a martyr. There they are together—a family group in Heaven! Yonder is John Bradford who said, in the fire: “We shall have a merry supper with the Lord to-night.” Yonder is Henry Voes, who exclaimed as he died: “If I had ten heads they should all fall oft for Christ?” The great throng of the martyrs! They had hot lead poured, down their throats; horses were fastened to their hands, and other horses to their feet, and thus they were pulled agiart, they had their tongues pulled out by red-hot pincers; they were se wed up in the skins of animals, and then thrown to the dogs: they were daubed with combustibles and set on fire! If all the martyrs’ stakes that have been kindled could be set at proper distances, they would make the midnight all the world over, bright as noonday! And now they sit yonder in the martyrs’ gallery. For them the fires of persecution have gone out. The swords are sheathed and the mob hushed. Now they watch us with ah all-observing sympathy. They know all the pain, all Hie hardship, all the anguish, all "the .injustice, all the privation. They can not keep still. They cry: “Courage! The fire will not consume' The floods can not drown. The lions can not devour! Courage! drown there in the arena,” What, are they looking? This night we answer back the salutation they give, and cry: “Hall, sons and daughters of the Are!” I look again, and I see another gallery, that of eminent Christiana What strikes me strangely is the mixing in companionship of those who on earth could not agree. There is Albert Barnes, and around him the presbytery who tried him for heterodoxy! Yonder is Lym&n Beecher, and the church

_mm.____ cutcd? They were anathematized And m they look from their gallery and see us falter in the presence of the lions, I seem to hear Isaac Watte addressing- us in his old hymn, only a little changed: Must you be carried to the skies On flowery bods of ease,' While others fought to win the prize, Or sailed through bloody aea-it Toplady shouts in his old hymn: Tour burps, ye trembling Mints, Down from the widows take; Loud to the praise of love divine, Bid every string awake. While Charles Wesley, the. Methodist, breaks forth in his favorite words, a little varied: A charge to keep you have, A God togloriry; A never- dying soul to save, And fltit for the sky 1 I look again and I see the gallery of onr departed. Many of those in the other galleries we have heard of ; bnt these we knew. Oh! how familiar their faces! They sat at onr tables, and we walked to the House of God in company. Have they forgotten us? Those fathers and mothers started us on the road of life. Are they careless as to what becomes of us? And those children : do they look on with stolid indifference as to whether we win or lose this battle for eternity? Nay; I see that child running its hand over your brow and saying: “Father, do not fret:” Mother, do not worry.” They remember the day they left us. They remember the agony of the last farewell. Though years in Heaven, they know our faces. They remember our sorrows. They speak our names. They watch this fight for Heaven. Nay; I see them rise up and lean over, and wave before ns their recognition and encouragement. The gallery is not fall They are keeping places for ns. After we have slain the lion they expect the King to call us, saving: “Come up higher!” Between the hot straggles in the/ arena wipe the sweat from my brow, and stand on tiptoe, reaching up my right hand to clasp theirs in rapturous hand-shaking, whileftjheir voices come ringing down from the gallery, crying; “Be thou faithful unto death, and you shall have a crown.” But here I pause, overwhelmed with the majesty and the joy of the scene! Gallery of the King! Gallery of angels! Gallery of prophets and apostles! Gallery of martyrs! Gallery of saints! Gallery of friends and kindred! Oh, majestic circles of light and love! Throngs! Throngs! Throngs! How shall we stand the gaze of the universe? Myriads of eyes beaming on us! Myriads of hearts heating in sympathy for ns! How shall we ever dare to sin again? How shall we everbecome discouraged again? How shall we ever feel lonely again? With God for us, and angels for us, and prophets and apostles for us, and the great souls of the ages for us, and our glorified kindred for us—shall we give up the fight and die? No! Son of God, who didst die to save us. No! ye angles, whose wings are spread forth to shelter us. No! yc prophets and apostles, whose warnings startle us. No! ye loved ones, whose arms are outstretched to receive us. No! we will never surrender.

Sore I must fight If I would reign— Be falthfnl to my Lord: And bear the cross, endure the pain. Supported by Thy word. Thy Mints In all this glorious war Sha'l conquer, thou they die; They see the triumph from afar, And sel^s it with their eye. When that illqstriona day ahall rise, And all thine armies shins In robes of victory through the skies, t The glory shall be thine. My hearers! Shall we die in the arena or rise to join onr friends in the gallery? Through Christ we may come off more than conquerors. A sol* dier, dying in the hospital, rose up in bed the last moment and cried: “Here here!” His attendants put him back on his pillow and asked him why he shouted “Here!" “Oh, I heard the roll-call of Heaven, and I was only answering to my name!” I wonder whether, after this battle ol life is over, our names will he called in the imuster roll of the pardoned and glorified, and, with the joy of Heaven breaking upon our souls, we shall cry: “Here! here!" LIGHT COINS IN THE SCALES. How They Are Detected by Means of Electricity. There is not a little spice of humor in the way in which both sharpers and those whose business it is to circumvent them have recourse to electrical methods for the attaining of their ends. A large consignment of gold eagles was sent to a Hew York bank from California which, on examination, was lonnd to contain twenty lightweight coins bearing the date of 1891. These were apparently new and bright, but they were rejected on being passed into the electric light-coin detector, On being examined with a lens their surfaces were, found to bo covered with infinitesimal pores. About one dollar’s worth of gold had been extracted from each eagle by electrolysis, which is a process now in high favor among . professional coin “sweaters,” of whom the American Chinaman has the reputation of being by far the most adroit and diligent In the coin detector the coins are pushed in succession from the balance pan 6n to a knife edge, and according as this knife edge is at the right hand limit of its range or the left hand limitthe coin, when pushed on it, tilts off to the “light” channel or the “full weight” channel, as the case may be. The right or left position of this shifting knife edge is determined by an electric contact made by the balance beam, and thus an electro-magnet is brought into action. The cqj^s run through the machine at the rate of about sixty per minute by the turning of a handle.—Pittsburg Dispatch. ChUdron’s Clothe*. Most young mothers make the great mistake of keeping their children too warmly dressed, especially in summer. Of course, due precaution must he taken on account of sudden changes, and a nurse should invariably carry with her a lightly knit jacket; but, as a rule, infants and young children can hardly be too lightly clad in the dog-days. One sensible mother who has' a great, sturdy, crowing baby of eight or ten months, makes a practice of leaving the little fellow daily half-naked on a big hair mattress for an hour or more; and it is delightful to see how he an-, joys himself. It is not generally remembered that the pores are the baby's breathing plaees.and that by covering them all up the impurities of the body are pot properly carried off. Let the little ones have bare legs and bare arms In summer. Lamb’s wool socks and a lownecked merino shirt are a sufficient protection, and by accustoming the child to the air he is made much hardier and less susceptible to changes when winter arrives.-N. Y.

St. Loots, Sept 1,1899.—The grand street illuminations were repeated tonight, and the throngs on the streets were larger than ever. The electrical panorama proved a perfect success, all necessary power being rtw available, and the street arches and clusters were regarded generally as brilliant beyond description. Visitors are arriving daily from all sections, and an unusually large number of European tourists are making St Louis their objective point Excursions are being run from a large number of oities, and everything points to sustained interest in the carnival right through the entire forty days of the festivities. The city will be Illuminated again on Saturday evening, and also on Monday, the other dates announced including September 15,23 and 29, and October 1, 4, 6, 13 and 29.

P. 8. Gilmore. The exhibits which form the feature of the ninth annual exposition are now in perfect order for the opening next Wednesday, when Gilmore’s band with 100 pieces will give a grand concert, which will be attended not only by thousands of visitors, but also by the governors of Missouri and other states, each accompanied by a large suite. As Gilmore’s New York engagement does not terminate until Tuesday morning, it has been necessary to charter a special train to bring him here in time for the opening on the evening of September 7. The train will bring the largest as well as the finest band ever heard in the west, and it is safe to say that the playing of one hundred skilled musicians under the leadership of the greatest band master of the day will afford a musical treat such as has never been attempted heretofore in the west The general attractions of the Kxposition will be more numerous and generally speaking much grander than in the past In each of the eight successful seasons of the St Louis Exposition, new features have been introduced, but the number of novelties this year is much greater than usual and an immense increase in attendance is anticipated. The art display is a very grand one, and the electrical and mechanical departments also promise unwonted attractions, The management announces that an Inclusive fee of 25 cents will admit to all parts of tho exposition, including themreat Gilmore concerts.

‘August Flower” " I am ready to testify under oath that if it had not been for August Flower I should have died before this. Eight years ago I was taken sick, and suffered as no one but a dyspeptic can. I employed three of our best doctors and received no benefit. They told me that I had heart, kidney, and liver trouble. Everything I ate distressed me so that I had to throw it up. August Flower cured me. There is no medicine equal to it.” Lorenzo F. Sleeper, Appleton, Maine. ®
