England has been experiencing a period of extraordinary drought. Up to July 14 the drought had lasted 102 iys, being forty-four days longer than any like period of dry weather iii the past twenty-eight years. In London the people have enjoyed wht they term a ' 'spell of glorious W0titt 9 but the agrftbltural districts have suffered greatly.

It te i8M&Mio note, and all who miss the treat may well count themselves among the unlucky ones of earth. Twenty thousand watermelons are to be sect to Chicago from the State of Washington by special fastiratii, an3 tliey will be cut up into Mta$00 pieces on the day of the dedication of the Washington State building in September, and the world is invited to the most gigantic free lunch ever spread for mortal mn, not excepting the one where thermultitude once upon a time feasted on a very scanty supply of loaves and fishes.

The extra session of Congress which will convene Aug. 7, wHl be the twelfth meeting of that branch of the governmet by proclamation of the President. President John Adams called the first extra session and it convened May 15, 1797. Subsequent extra sessions were eon venedOct. 17, 1803; Oct. 261807; Nov. 4, 1811; Sept. 19, 1814; Sept. 4, 1837; Mav 31, 1841; July 4, 1861; Oct 16, 1877; and March 1879. The precedents established by these extra sessions indicate that the repeal of the Sherman law will be accomplished, as past meetings of this character have uniformly performed the duties for which thev wore called.

It is a fact not generally known that enlisted men in our regular army may buy an honorable discharge (rom the service if they so desire. Recently marines have been admitted to the benefits of this rule, provision for this purpose having been made by the Fifty-second Congress at its final session. There are some variations in the rules governing the matter. In the army and marine corps the enlisted man must have served a year before he can be discharged, while regular sailors in the navy only need to serve three months, and a naval apprentice can buy his release at any time after enlistment. There is a great diversity of rates governing these purchased discharges, ranging from $120 in the first month of the second year for a regular army soldier to $100 for an enlisted man in the marine corps at the same period, and a gradually decreasing schedule according to the length of service. The nrw rules were adopted with a viev to stop desertion and have proved to a certain extent effective, the per centage of desertion having preceptibly decreased.

PHiLADLiHiA,the "City of Brotherly Love1 has always been noted for its philanthropic citizens men of large fortunes and larger hearts who realized the dutv that the ac

cumulation of vast wealth imposes on all successful business men. Girard, miserly in his own habits, was one of the earliest of these princely givers, and the institution that bears his name has for years and years been a monument to his memory and a fountain of intelligence that has yielded great returns to the world at, large, Conspicuous among the men of this character in later years have been George W. Childs and the iate A. J. Drexel, but recently passed away. George W. Childs is probably the most indefatigable giver of any age or country, and he was ably seconded by Mr. Drexel in many of his benevolent projects. Mr. Drexel's will also seeks to continue the good work that occupied so large a portion of his thoughts during his life time,and forma a fitting finish to a wll-spent tife. The institutions which he cherished, during his life have not been forgotten. One million dollars are -left to the German hospital in Philadelphia, and $1,000,000 are vested in trustees, who are to apply the income toward the erection and maintenance of an art gallery, museum or other public institution in the neighborhood of the Drexel Institute of Arts and Sc ences, established by the deceased bauker, some ' years since. Such men are, indeed, an honor to any ehy, race or couatfjjf, - and their exar iple may well bjjemulated by the rising generation j&pd those who hav attained great success in business as well. Who sfcSil say that the spi -its of the foundftfTO Philadelphia, the plain old Quaker. William Penn. and of

Benjamin Franklin, who in later years cast such a halo of benignant kindness about the old-fashioned j

square where his remains rest-today, do not yet linger and influence the actions of the leaders of the business world in the arena that they formed and filled in the past with such distinction and love for their fellow men. - Thk claim of the Clan-na-Gtel that Irish Nationalists enlisted as English sailors on board the war ship Victoria were responsible for the loss of that vessel, and that they 'sacrificed their own lives in order to deal a deadly blow to the English navy, will be received by the world at large with incredulity. The further claim that the English army and navy is honey -combed with Irishmen who have enlisted in the service of their traditional enemy in order to betray it at every opportunity is even less entitled to credence or belief. The mystery surrounding the sinking of the Victoria has not been very satisfactorily explained unless we accept implicitly the testimony of officers who are personally interested in having ail blame attach to those who went down with the ship, but the "cock and bull" story that Irish treachery is responsible for the catastrophe seems pure invention and baseless fiction. English officials have never been considered imbeciles, whatever their faults may be in other directions, and the claim that they have enlisted sworn adherents of a secret organization, or even Irishmen whoso wrougs have from time immemorial been a source of bitterness between the two countries, in sufficient numbers to be in any contingency dangerous, is the most attenuated talc of the season's sensations.

PattHtti Story of Jephthah Q; oIftf hter Training la Childhood

Somk Kansas farmers appear to have lost faith in artificial means for producing rain. More properly speaking, it is probable that they nevei placed confidence in the success of the various experiments that have from time to time been conducted iu the West looking to an established control of the floodgates of the skies. A convention of leading agriculturists is to be held August?, at Great Bend, Kan., for the purpose of devising means to carry forward a general irrigation scheme that is to be supplied from artesian wells. Lakes and reservoirs arc to be constructed for the purpose of storing water that it is claimed can be procured at a depth of 75 to 100 feet in unlimited quantities. The scheme is probably feasible if sufficient capital can be secured, but recent experiments of a similar character in other localities have been attended with disastrous results, the artesian well in one place discharging such a powerful stream that the piping was washed away and an uncontrollable torrent issued from a constantly widening crevasse that wrecked property of great value. The arid plains of Kansas, however, afford a fine field for experiments of this kind. The continued efforts of the unfortunate farmers of the West in this direction should make every Indiana farmer more than ever content with the lot in which Providence has placed him. Irrigation schemes are not necessary for his prosperity, although drainage to carry otf the superfluous moisture, lacking in so lamentable a degree in the West, has in the past engaged his attention and absorbed a considerable percentage of his profits. Each year, however, sees this drawback growing smaller, and the day is close at hand when swamps and swales will be a curiosity in the jrreat Hoosier State.

PEOPLE.

The state attire of the King of Siam is worth over 1 ,000,000. He has 300 wives and 87 children and a good deal more than a peck of troiij ble. He is 40 years of age and was a father at 12. r Bishop Julius, when he went up to lay the last stone of the spire of Christ Church Cathedral, New Zealand, was accompanied aloft by a workman in a bucket. Three-fourths the way up the hoisting machinery stopped and started again. An amateur photograph fiend had tipped the man at the gear to stop hoisting. For the first time in the history of English university cricket matches one of the contestants thrs year was a colored man. He was K." S. Ranjitsinhji, a young Sikh prince, who has proved himself one of the finest bats and most brilliant fielders of the Cambridge eleven. Among his fellow students he is exceedingly popular, but his name was voted too elaborate for daily use. and he is addressed by his intimates as "Smith." Whistler is making etchings of Paris over which his friends rave. The American artist who has become anything but American, and whom we forget at times to claim for fear of the sharp reply he might make, talked of corning over to the World's Fair, but nothing has been heard of it lately. In the meantime he has a studio in the southern part of Paris, up under .the roofs.and is considered by his friends rbout the cleverest cosmopolitan in the swim.

Dr. Talmage, who is now on a vacation tour in the West, chose for a topic, last Sunday morning, "Children's Rights' the text being Judges xi, 36-"My father, if thou hMt opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do to me accordingly to that which' hath proceeded out of thy mouth.' He said: Jephthah was a freebooter. Early turned out from a home where he ought to have been cared for, he consorted with rough men and went forth to earn his living as best he eould. In those times it was considered right for a man to go out on independent military expeditions. Jephthah was a good man according u the light of his dark age, but through a wandering and a predatory life he became reckless and precipitate. The grace of God changes a man's heart, but never reverses his natural temperament. The Israelites wanted the Ammonites driven out of their country, so they sent a delegation to Jephthah, asking him to become commander-in-chief of all the forces. He might have said, "You drove me oat when you had no use for me, bat now you are in trouble, you want me back." But he did not say that. He takes command of the army, sends messengers to the Ammonites to tell them to vacate the country, and getting no favorable response marshals his troops for battle. Before going out to the war Jephthah makes a very solemn vow that if ever the Lord will give him the victory, then on his return home whatsoever first comes out of his doorway he will offer in sacrifice as a burnt offering. The battle opens. It was no skirmishing on the edges of danger, no unlimbering of batteries two miles away, but the hurliug of men on the point of , swords and spears until the ground could no more drink the blood, and the horses reared to leap over the pile of bodies of the slain. In those old times opposing forces would fight until their swords were broken, and then each one would throttle his man until both fell, teeth to teeth, grip to grip, death stare to death stare, until the plain was one tumbled mass of corpses from which the last trace of manhood had been dashed out. Jephthah wins the day. Twenty cities lay captured at his feet. Sound the victory all through the mountains of (rilead! Let the trumpeters call up the survivers! Homeward to your wives and children! Homeward with your glittering treasures! Homeward to have the applause of in admiring nation! Build triumphal arches! Swing out flags all aver Mizpeh! Open all your doors to receive the captured treasures! Through every hall spread the banquet! Pile up the vivands! Fill high the tankards! The nation is redeemed, the invaders are routed, and the national honor is vindicated! Huzza for Jephthah, the conquerer! Jephthah, seated on a prancing steed advances amid acclaiming multitudes, but his eye is not on the excited populace, Remembering that he had made a solemn vow that, returning, from victorious battle, whatsoever first came out of the ioorway of his home, that should be sacrificed as a burnt offering, he has his anxious look upon the door. I wonder what spotless lamb, what brace of doves will be thrown upon the fires of the burnt offering. Oh, horrors! Paleness of death blanches his cheek. Dispair seizes his heart. His daughter, his only child, rushes out the doorway to throw herself In her father's arms and shower upon him more kisses than there were wounds on his breast or dents on his shield. All the trumphal splendor vanishes. Holding back his child from his heaving breast and Cushing the locks back from he fair row and looking into the eyes of inextinguishable affection, with choked utterance, he says: "Would God I lay stark on the bloody plain! My daughter, my only child, joy of ray home, life of my life, thou art the sacrifice!" The whole matter was explained to her. This was no whining, hollow hearted girl into whose eyes the father looked. All the glory of sword and shield vanished in the presence of that girl. There may have been a tremor of the lip as a rose leaf trembles in the sough of the south wind. There may have been the starting of a tear like a raindrop shook from the anther of a water lily, but with a self sacrifice that man may not reach and only woman's heart can compass she surrenders herself to fire and to death. She cries out in the words of my

text, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do unto me whatsoever hath proceeded from thy mouth," She bows to the knife, and the blood, which so often at the father's voice bad rushed to the crimson cheek, smokes in the tires of the burnt offering. No one can tell us her name. There is no need that we know her name. The garlands that Mizpeh twisted for Jephtha the war

rior had gone into the dust, but alL

ages are twisting this girl's chaplet. It is well that her name came not to us, for no one can wear it. They naay take the name of Deborah or

Abigail or Miriam but no one in all making a sacrafice of that child if bv

the ages can have the title, of this additions to its intelligence you are daughter of sacrifice. ' making a subtraction from its future. Of course this offering was not The Carthaginians used to sacrifice

pleasant to the Lord, but before you hurl your denunciations at Jephthah's cruelty remember that in olden times when vowa wefe made men thought that they must execute them, jerforni them, whether they were wicked or good. There were two wrong things about Jephthah's vows. First, he ought never to have made it. Next, having made it, it were better broken than kept. But do not take on pretentious airs and say, 4 'I could not have done as Jephthah did. u If to-day you were standing on the banks of the Ganges, and you had been born in India, you might have been throwing your children .to the crocodiles. It is not because we are. naturally any better, but becausewe have more gospel light. Now, I make very practical use of this question when I tell you that the sacrifice of Jephthah s daughter was a type of the physical, mental and spiritual sacrifice of 1D,000 children in this day. There are parents all unwittingly1 bringing to bear upon their children a class of influences which will as certainly ruin them as knife and torch destroyed Jephthah's daughter. While I speak, the whole nation, without emotion and without shame, looks upon the stupendous sacrifice. In the first place I remark that much of the system of education in our days is a system of sacrifice. When children spend six or seven hours a day in school and then must spend two or three hours in preparation for school the next day, will you tell me how much time they will have for sunshine and fresh air

and the obtaining of that ance which is necessary

duties of coming life? No one can xeel more thankful than I do, for the advancement of common school education. The printing of books appropriate for schools, the multiplication of philosophical apparatus, the establishment of normal schools, which provide our children teachers of largest calibre, are themes on which every philanthropist ought to be congratulated. But this herding of great multitudes of children in ill-ventilated school rooms and poorly equipped halls of instruction is making many of the places of knowledge in this country huge holocausts. Politics in many of the cities gets into educational affairs, and while the two political parties arc scrabbling for the honors Jephthah's daughter perishes. It is so much so that there are many schools in the country to-day which are preparing tens of thousands of invalid men and women for the future, so that in many placesby the time the child's education is finished the child is finished! In many places in many cities of the country there are large appropriations for everything else, and cheerful appropriations, but as soon as the appropriation is to be made for the educational or the moral interest of the city we are struck through with an economy that is well nigh the death of us. In connection with this I might mention what I call the cramming system of the common schools and many of the academies. Children of delicate brain compelled to tasks that might appall a mature intellect; children going down to school with a strap of books half as high as themselves. The fact is, in some of the cities parents do not allow their children tc graduate, for the simple reason, they say, 44 We can not afford to allow our children's health to be destroyed in order that they may gather the honors of an institution' Tens of thousands of children educated into imbecility. So connected with literary establishments there ought to be asylums for the wrecked. It is push, and crowd and cram, and stuff and jam until the child's intellect is bewildered; and the memory is wrecked, and the health gone. There are children turned out from the schools who were once full of romping and laughter and had cheeks crimsou with health who are now turned out in the afternoon, pale faced, irritated, asthmatic, old before their time. It is one of the saddest sights on earth an old manish boy or an old womanish girl. Girls ten years of age studying algebra! Boys twelve years of age racking their brain over trigonometry Children unacquainted with their mother tongue crying over their Latin, French and German lessons! All the vivacity of their nature beaten out of them by the heavy beetle of a Greek lexicon! And you doctor them for this, and you give them a little medicine for that, and you wonder what is the matter with them. I will tell you what is the matter with them. They are finishing their education! In my parish in Philadelphia a little child was so pushed at school that she was thrown into a fever, and in her dying delirium all night long she was trying to- recite the multiplication table. In my boyhood I remember that in our class at school there was one lad who knew more than all the rest of us put to gether. If we were fast in our arithmetic, he extricated us. When we stood up for spelling he was at the head of the class, visitors came to his father's house, and he was almost always brought in as a prodigy. At eighteen years of age he was an idiot. He lived ten years an idot, not knowing his right hand from his left or day from night. The parents and the teachers made him an idiot. You may flatter your pride by forcing your children to know more than other children, but you are

their children by putting theiu into the arms of an idol which thrust forth its hand. The child wad put into th a Jirms of the idol, and no sooner touched the arms than it dropped into the fire. But it war the art of the mothers to keep the children smiling and laughing until the moment they died. There may be a fascination" and hilarity about the stvles of education of which I am speak ng, but it is only laughter at the moment of sacrifice. Would God there were only one Jephthah's daughter!

Again, there are many parents

The high chair in which the infant sits i9 the throne and the rattle is the scepter, and the other children make up the parliament where father and mother have no vote. Such children come up to be miscreants. There is no chance in this world for a child that has never learned to mind. Such people become the botheration of the church of God and the pes t of the world. Children that do not learn to obey human authority are unwilling to learn to obey divine authority. Children will" not respect parents whose authority they do not respect. Who are these young men that 1 swagger through the street, with their thumbs in their vest, talking about their father as "the old man, lithe governor "the squire," l,the old chap," or their mother as "the old woman?" They are those who in 3'outh, in childhood, never learned to respect authority. Eli, having heard that his sons died in their wickedness, fell over backward and broke his neck and died.

A summary of the bank failures in the United States from May 1 to July 22, inclusive, shows that JOl banking institutions, with a capital of 138,961,033, have suspended. The Manufacturers1 Record,

But, on the other hand, too great rigor ciust be avoided. It is a sad thing when domestic government becomes cold military despotism. Trappers on the prairie fignt fire with fire, but you cannot successfully fight your child's bad temper with vour own bad temner. We

must not be too minute in our inspection. We cannot expect our children to be perfect. We must not see everything. Since we have two or thrcte faults of our own, we ougnt not be too rough when we disoover that our chilcren have as many. If tradition be true, when we were children we were not all little Samuels, and our parents were not fearful lest they could not raise us because of premature goodness. You can not scold or pound your children into nobilitv of character. The bloom of a child's heart can never be seen under a cold drizzle. Above all, avoid fretting and scolding in the household. Better than ten years of fretting at your children is one good, round, old-fashioned application of the slipper! That minister of t he gospel of whom we read in the newspapers that he whipped his child to death because he would not say his prayers will never come to canonization. The arithmetics can not calculate how many thousands of children have been ruined forever either N through too great rigor or too great leniency. The heavens and the earth are filled with the groans of the sacrificed. In this importaut matter seek divine direction, O father, O mother. Some one asked the mother of Lord Chief Justice Mansfield if she was not proud to have three such eminent sons, and all of them so good. '"No," she said, "It is nothing to be proud of, but something for which to be very grateful." Further on thousands and tens of thousands of the daughters of America are sacrificed to worldliness. They are taught to be in sympathy with all the artificialities of sooiety. They are inducted to all the hallowness of what is called fashionable life. They are taught to believe that history is dry. but 50-cent stories of adventurous love are delicious. With capacity that might have rivaled a Florence Nightingale in heavenly ministries or made the fathers house glad with filial or sisterly demeanor, their life is a waste, their beauty a curse, their eternity a demolition. I congratulate all parents who are doing their best to keep their children away from the altar of sacrifice. Your prayers are going to be answered. Your children may wander away from God but they will come back again. A voice comes from the throne to-dav encouraRing you. llI will be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee." And though when you lay your head in death there may be some wanderer of the family faraway from God, and you may be twenty years in heaven before salvation shall come to his heart, he will be brought into the kingdom, and before the throne of God you will rejoice that you were faithful. Come at last, although so long postponed his coming. Come at last! POltTUUUfittlS PROVERBS. Philadelphia Call. Everything white isn't flour. Four eyes see more than two. A man is known by his laugh. Love is work, not sweet words. A wrong confessed is ha! f forgiven. You can't make a dart of a pig's tail. A scalded cat is afraid of cold water. The love of a boy is water in a basket.
