citizen of the United States, says he likes the country and hopes to make it his future home if he can stand the winters, of which ho has a dread. He is superstitous, has had his fut ure foretold by a horoscope, wears a "goroa" ring for luck, which ha will change for a diamond at the ex pi ration of a term of eighteen years, seven of which have passed away. All precious stones are believed by the Cingalese to bring good luck if properly worn.

"It is folly to gild refined gold and the height of foolishness to paint the lily," but the man who perfects a dead sure process for imparting an agreeable and lasting odor to chrysanthemums has a great future awaiting him. Thb weather prophets seem to

have arrived at the unanimous conclusion that we are to have an un- i commonly severe winter. The sample exhibited in this latitude Dec. ! 5th indicate that they may pos- j aibly have staggered on to the j truth in some unaccountable manner. !

Some tender-hearted people are denouncing the all absorbing game of foot-bail as immoral, dangerous alike to life and hopes of eternal salvation, leading the infatuated adept into all sorts of excesses and dissipations. Yetvthe game was introduced in America by Rev. D. S. Shafif, of Jacksonville, 111. This presumably pious parson organized the fi rs t regular team on this side of the Atlantic at Yale College in 1872.

"The Lost Atlantis" is only a fabulous country, island or continent, that tradition says once existed between the shores of Europe and America, that a great earrthquake or natural convulsion destroyed, with all its inhabitants. The disappearance of one of the largest islands off the Australian coa3t recently gives a color of possibility to the fable that is far from comforting to the inhabitants of the isles of the sea.

It will be shocking information to many people to be told that human skulls and skeletons are regularly imported from Egypt to the United States to be ground up and sold as fertilizers. Such transactions are a travesty on civilization, and are fraught with more inherent barbarism and incipient cruelty than th most savage acts of painted aborigines, for the simple reason tha they are committed by civilized men without any other object or excus than the love of a trifling gain. "All flesh is grass" indeed, but we can surely raise enough grass without despoiling the graves of a vauished race or tamring with the tombs of silent centuries. If there is any spot or object on earth that should bo held sacred and inviolate by all mankind it is the grave and its silent occupant. How we recoil at the thought that in some future age our own resting places and the last couch of those we have loved may be thus ravished, robb3d and outraged to serve the material wants and insatiable greed of the future man. That we,, "the heir of all the ages and the latest born of time" should be guilty 'of such bai'barity almost passes belief, yet the fact is given to the public for truth by the New York Sun.

It is said that American dyers have not as yet been able to attain the best results with seal skins, their work being far inferior to that of foreign workmen. The aristocratic dames of eastern cities when they find it necessary to have their costly sealskin cloaks repaired always send them abroad. The fur trade in New York js largely in the hands of German-Hebrews, and the traffic is car ried on in ail sorts of places, from private apartments to large establishments employing many workmen And large capital.

People with a taste for statistics will be interested in figures bearing upon the matter of life insurance. The vast sums involved in the almost innumerable projects of socalled life insurance are realized by few. The sum total of life insurance policies issued in the world is thought to reach the enormous sum of 12,000,000,099. Of this amount $5,300,000,000 is placed in the United States. New schemes are constantly developing and as matters now run the United States will soon have as great an amount in policies as ail the balance of the world together.

A very unique specimen of the genus "crank" made his debut into public life on the evening of Nov. 16, at New York. He rejoiced in the name of Roeth, and casually called at the famous Delmonico restaurant carrying a jag and a gun and incidentally some irrational ideas about a mission be had to reform existing evils. He began shooting in a regardless fashion and emptied his revolver to the great damage of plateglass and detriment to the nerves of the frightened guests, at the same time howling, "Down with the rich!" The restaurant was as speedily emptied of guests, waiters and proprietors as the crank's revolver had been of its bullets, but officers captured Roeth after a hard fight. He was registered at the police station as G. A, Roeth. occupation stone cutter, age 28. He stated that he made 125 a week and had never suffered poverty himself, but that he had been impressed with the terrible contrast between the lavish luxury of the rich and the suffering and privations of the poor, and he had only planned his performance at Delmonico's as a means of calling the, attention of the public to such conditions, without any intention of harming any one. He was remanded for trial.

TYPICAL FROST.

The Breath of God Mada Visible by Cold.

It is published for a fact that many well-to do citizens of Soda Springs, Idaho, made the World's Fair trip as cattle tenders on stock trains, receiving their passage and $30 and a return ticket as compensation for their services. Merchants and lawyers, preachers and physicians dropped their dignity for the time and saved their cash in this way. The fact is not presented in derogation, but rather as an illustration of the energetic and thrifty pint tta inspires the typical Western character.

Mr. Galbrkth, of Muncie, who was reported to have got out of breath very suddenly while involved in a life and death struggle with a running noose depending for its offensive qualities upon a lord of the forest in the neighborhood of an interior Pennslvania town, the same having been reported to have been lovingly applied to the Adamic protuberance projecting beneEfT the noble visage of the aforo&aid Galbretb has returned to the magic metropolis of the gas belt with the reliable information that, to the best of his knowledge, he is still destroying the life-preserving qualities of his usual allowance of the circumambient atmosphere.

She was a young wife justanarried from boarding school, one of the lovey dovey order, and although educated in Boston didn't know beans from any other vegetable. Hence this dialogue with the cook: "Now, Briddy, dear, what are we to have for dinner?" ' 'There's two chickens to dress, mum." "I'll dress them the tirst thing. Where are their clothes?" "Holy Moses, mum, they're in their feathers yet." "Ob, then serve them that way. The ancient Romans always cooked their peacocks with the feathers on. It will be a surprise to hubby," "It will that, mum. Sure if you wans to help you could be parin the turnips." "Ob, how sweet! I'il pair them two and two in no time. Why. I had no idea cooking w.ts so picturesque!" "I think, mum, that washing the celery do be more in your line." "All right, Briddy. I ll take it up to the bathroom, and I've some lovely Paris soap that will take off every speck." "Thank you, mum Would you mind telling me the name of the asylum where you were eddicated?

Froit at An Etnll-m of Atlvorntty iu Saultftry HUlon ir. Tab utitjre's .Strmoiu Dr. Talmage preached at the Brooklyn Tabornuclc last Sunday. Subjectr- The Misaion of the Frost." fextr-Job xxxvii. 10, "By the breath of God frost is given." As no one seems disposed to discuss the mission of frost, depending on divine help I undertake it. This is the first Sabbath of winter. The leaves are down. Tho warmth has gone out of tie air. The birds have made their winged march southward. The landscape has been scarred by the autumnal equinox. The buskers have rilled the cornshocks. The night sky has shown the usual meteoric restlessness of November. Three seasons of the year are past, and the fourth and last has entered. Another element now comes in to bless and adorn and instruct the world. It is the frost. The palaces of this kino are far up in the arctic. Their walls are glittering congelation. Windsor castles and Tuileries and winter palaces and Kenilworths and A I ham bras of ice, temples with pendant chandeliers of ice, thrones of iceberg on which eternal silence reigns, theaters on whose stage eternal cold dramatizes eternal winter, piilars of ice, arches of ice sepulchers of ice, mountaius of ice, crowns of ice, chariots of ice, dominions of ice eternal frigidity! From those hard, white, burnished portals King Frost descends and waves his silverv scepter pvef' our temperate zone. You will soon hear his heel on the skating pond. You already feel his breath in the night wind. By most considered an enemy coming here to benumb and hinder and slay, I shall show you that the frost is a friend, with benediction divinely

pronounced, and charged and sur- j 1 1 '.11 lit I

cnargea witn lessons potent, oeneficient and tremendous. The bible seven times alludes to the frost, and we must not ignore it. "By the breath of God frost is triven." Next I speak of the frost as a physician. Standing at the gates of New York harbor autumn before last, the frost drove back the cholera saying, "Thus far shalt thou come and no farther," From Memphis and New Orleans and Jacksonville he smote the fever plague till it reeled back and departed. The frost is a physician that doctors cities, nations and continents. He medicines the world. Quinin? for malaria, anti-febrile for typhoids, sulphonal for sleeplessness, antispasmodic for disturbed nerves, but in all therapeutics there is no remedy like the small pellets prepared by the cold, and no phvsician so successfull as the frost. thank God for the frost! It is the

best of all germicides. It is the i

only hope in bacteriology. It is the medicament of continents. It is the salvation of our temperate zone. It is the best tonic that God ever gave the human race. It is the only strong stimulant which has no reaction. The best commentary on it I had while walking near here one cool morning with my brother John who spent the most of his life as a missionary in China, and in that part of it where there are no frosts. He said there was a tingling gladness in his nerves indescribable, and an almost intoxication of delight from the fact that' it was the first time for years he had felt the sensation of frost. We complain of it, we scold it, we frown upon it, when we ought to be stirred by it to gratitude and hoist it on a doxology. But I must go farther and speak of the frost as a jeweler. As the snow is frozen rain, so the frost is frozen dew. God transforms it from a liquid into a crystal. It is the dew glorified. In the thirty-eighth chapter of that inspired drama, the book of Job, God says to the inspired dramatist with ecstactic interrogotion, "The hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?'1 God there asks Job if he knows the parentage of the frost. Hennquires about its pedigree. He suggests that Job study up the genealogical line. A minute before God had asked about the parentage of a rain-drop in words that years ago gave me a suggestive text for a sermon, "Hath the rain a father?" But now the Lord Almighty is catechising Job about the frost. He practically says: "Do you know its father? Do you know its mother? In what cradle of the leaves did the wind rock it? 'The hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?'" First I think of frost as a painter. He begins his work on the leaves and continues it on the window panes. With palette covered with all manner of colors in bis left hand and pencil of crystal in his right hand, he sits down before the humblest bush in the latter part of Sep: teraber aud begins the sketching of the leaves. Now he puts upon the foliage a faint pallor, and then a touch of brown, and then a hue of orange, and last a flame of fire. The beech and ash and oak are turned first into sunrises and then into sunsets of vividness and splendor. All the leaves are penciled one by one, but sometimes a whole forest in the course of a few days shows great velocity of work. Tired of working on the leaves the frost will soon turn to the window panes. You will soon waken on a cold morning and find that the windows of your home have during the night been adorned with curves, with coronet, with exquisiteness,

with pomp, witn almost supernatural spectacle. Then you will appreciate what my text savs as it declares, "By the breath of God frost is given." You will see on the window pane, traced there by the frost, whole gardens of beauty ferns, orchids, daffodils, heliotropes, china asters, fountains, statues, hounds on the Uiase, roebucks plungiug into the stream, battle, scenes with dying and dead, catafalques of kings, triumphal processions and as the morning sun breaks through you will see cities on fire and bombardment with bursting shell, and illuminations as for some great victory, coronations and angels on the wing. Standing here between the closed doors of the pictured woods and the opening doors of the transfigured window glass, I want to cure my folly and your folly of longing for glorious things in the distance, while we neglect appreciation of glorious things near by. "Oh, if I could only go and see the factories of lace at Brussels!" says some one. Why, within twenty feet of where you awaken some December morning you will see richer lace interwoven for your window panes by divine fingers. "Oh, if I could only go and sec the factories of silk at Lyons!" says some one. Why, without leaving your home on the north side of your own house on Christmas morning you may see where the Lord has spun silken threads about your windows this way and that embroideries such as no one but God can work. Oh, these regalias and diadems of beauty flung out of heaven! Kings and queens on celebrative days have come riding through the streets throwing handf uis of silver and gold among the people, but the queen of the winter morning is the only queen rich enough to throw pearls, and the king of frost the only king rich enough to throw opals and sapphires and diamonds. Homer describes a necklace of amber given to Penelope, but the frost necklaces a continent. The carcanet of precious stones given to Harmonia had pinions of orange jasper and white moonstones and Indian agate, but it was a misfortune to auv one who inherited it, and its history, generation after generation, was a history of disaster, btit the regalia of frost is the good fortune of every morning 'diat possesses it. But I go a step farther and speak of the frost as an evangelist, and a text of scripture is not of much use to me unless I can find the gospel in it. The Israelites in the wilderness breakfasted on something that resembled frozen dew. The manna fell on the dew and the dew evaporated and left a pulverized material, white and looking like frost, but it was manna, and of that they aiO. So now this morning, mixed with the frozen dew of my text, there is man na on whith we can breakfast our souls. You say the frost kills. Yes, it kills some things, but we have already seen that it gives life and health to others. The gospel is the ?avor of life unto life and death unto death. Mild doses of medicine wili do for mild sickness, but violent pains need strong doses, and so I stand over you and count some drops that will alleviate your wo?st troubles if you will only take the medicine, and here it is: 'in the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." 14 Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Thank God for frosts! What helped make Washington the greatest of generals? The frosts of VaLtey Forge. What made it appropriate for one passing John Bunyan's grave to exclaim. "Sleep on," thou prince of dreamers!" The frosts of imprisonment. The greatest college from which we can graduate is the college of frosts. Especial trial fits for especial work. Just now watch and you will see that trouble is preparative and educational. That is the grindstone on which battle axes are sharpened. I have always noticed in my own case that when the Lord had some special work for me to do it was preceded by especial attack upon me. This is so proverbial in my own house that if for something I say or do I get poured upon me a volley of censure and abuse, my wife always asks: "I wonder what new opportunity of usefulness is about to open. Something good and grand is surely coming." For many years poets and essayists have celebrated the grace and swiftness of the Arabian horses. The most wonderful exhibition of horsemanship that I ever witnessed was just outside of the city of Jerusalem an Arabian steed mounted by an Arab. Do you know where these Arabian horses got their fleetness and poetry of motion? Long centuries ago Mohammed, with 30,000 cavalry on the march, could find for them not a drop of water for them. Coming to the top of a hill, a river was in sight. With wild dash the 30,000 horses started for the stream. A minute after an armed host was seen advancing, and at Mohammed's command 100 bugles blew for the horses to fall in line, but all the 30,000 continued the wild gallop to the river except five, and they, almost perishing with thirst, wheeled into line of battle. Nothing in human bravery and self-sacrifice excels that bravery and self-sacrifice of those live Arabian war houses. Those five splendid steeds Mohammed chose for his own use, and from those five came that race of Arabian horses for ages the glory of the equestrian world. And let me say that in this great war of truth against error, of holiness asrainst sin and heaven against hell, the best iwar horses are descended

from those who, under pain and selfdenial and trouble, answered the gospel trumpet and wheeled into line. Out of great tribulation, out of great fires, out of great frosts, they came. And let rne say it will not take long for God to make up to you in the next world all you have suffered in this. As you enter heaven He may say: "Give this man one of those towered and colonnaded palaces on that ridge of gold overlooking the sea of giass. Give this woman a home among those amaranthine blooms aud between those fountains tossing in the everlasting sunlight. Give her a couch canopied with rainbows to pay her for all the fatigues of wifehood and motherhood and housekeeping, from which she had no rest for forty years. Cupbearers o! heaven, give these newly arrived souls from earth the costliest beverages and roll to their door the grandest chariots and hang on their walls the sweetest harps that ever thrummed to fingers seraphic. Give to them rapture on rapture, celebration on celebration, jubilee on jubilee, heaven on heaven. They had a hard time on earth earning a livelihood, or nursing sick children, or waiting on querulous old age, or battling falsehoods that were told about them, or were compelled to work after they got short breathed and rheumatic and dim sighted. Chamberlains of heaven! Keepers of the King's robes! Banqueters of eternal royalty! Make up to them a hundredfofd, a millionfold for all thev suffered from swaddling clothes to shroud, and let all those who, whether on the hills, or in the temples, or on the thrones, or on jasper wall, were helped and sanctified and prepared for this heavenly realm by the mission of tho frosts stand up and wave their scepters 1" And I looked, and behold! nine-tenths of the ransomed rose to their feet, and nine-tenths of the scepters swayed to and fro in the light of the sun that never sets, and then I understood far better than I ever did before that trouble comes for beneficent purposes, and that on the coldest nights the aurora is brightest in the northern heavens, and that 4 'by the breath of God frost is given."
