The congregation in attendance at the A. M. H. Ohurch last Sunday evening had the pleasure of listening to one of the meat able sermons ever delivered in the charch. It was prepared and delivered by Rev. T. E. Wilson and was a fine specimen of oratory. Rev. Wilson took his text from Revelations, it being "No Wight There." His illustrations ol the firmament, the solar system, and his dissimulations with reference to the human family, and its condition in life was very striking and that strong impressions were «ade on his hearers was plain to be seen.

ABOUT SLOT MACHINES. I femmttaa ta Owe Day Versus Invention la

At the railway stations* ferry houses even upon the street corners, there may be found In almost every city and Tillage in the United States automatic vending machines, which, for a nickel, or more or less, will deliver the various goods which they are adapted to sell. The purchaser may procure a newspar per and a cigar to smoke, oar, if adverse to the use of the weed, he may secure tablet of chewing gum or a package of sweets. If entertainment is desired, it may be found in the "nickel in the slot" phonograph.

ratus, which takes your picture for a nickel, while you wait. These various devices and many others which we might mention are regarded as very clever inventions, and have certainly proved successful in many cases in a pecuniary sense.

The last automatic vending machine alluded to is shown in Fig. 2. The perfume reservoir is located in the upper portion of the vase the tube communicating with the lower part of the reservoir extends through the side of the vase and is closed at its upper end by a valve attached to one end of the lever, 0. The other end of the lever, O, is connected by a rod with the lever, E, the longer arm of this lever being provided with a pan, R, for receiving coin, while the shorter arm of the lever is furnished with a weight for counterbalancing the pan and closing the valve. A curved piece of metal is arranged concentric with the path of the pan, R, and serves to retain the coin dropped into it through the slot in the top of the vase until the pan, R, is carried down

weight on the short arm of the lever then returns the lever to the point of starling and closes the valve, thus stopping the flow of the perfume.

This very clever device was patented November 19, 1889. Our illustration is prepared directly from the patent drawings. This and other machines for analogous purposes are regarded as the peculiar product of our inventive age, but in turning back the pages of history we find that in Egypt, something more than two thousand years ago, when a worshiper was about to enter the temple, he sprinkled himself with lustra! water, taken from a vase near the entrance. The priests made the distribution of holy water a source of revenue by the employment of the automatic vending machine which is illustrated in Fig. I. This apparatus would not release a single drop of the purifying liquid until coin to the amount required had been deposited In the vase.

A comparison of the ancient 1 astral water vase and the modern perfumery vending machine will show that they aro substantially alike. The ancient machine has a lever, O, fulcrumed in the standard, N, and connected with the valve in the reservoir, EL The lever is furnished with the pan, R, for receiving

Some General Information! of Xaterest to Sportsmen.

th« Anglor Pr»mlaa« Welt

The outlook for anglers and other sportsmen is more favorable |||tfthe coming season than for many yeara^ast. This is owing to tha exceptional imldDM8 of the last and present winter, jpIs encouraging prospect ts of greater force in the Western Spates than those of the East. In the latter the continuous depletion of fish aadgame with no corresponding recuperet! ygyorce, are factors whicn even th» fiporaole weather conditions have failel measurably to supply. Within a brief at the West, enlarged lefrislaftve »ction^ an aroused public sentiment wd gir gen^ eral awakening to the situatioj, l^s le to strenuous exertions to piftwt ana preserve the game of the field! aid fish of the streams. The farmps|n particular have now awakened creased revenues which may a a

is disposed to adopt more radical measures for the proteotlon ol its fish and game than any other State. It is questionable, however, whether there the people generally ore willing at present to carry protection as far as is projected. The fact that the press is giving auttalarged attention to these matters, WHH been the strongest factor in remedying •vils which, without its assistance, would within a brief period have brought the West to the front of depletion in its fish and game, as that which now prevails at the East.

In the past, aud even to-day, the Indians used a stick upon which to rest the gun when aiming at large game not iu motion. Although this was more in vogue in the days when muzsle-loaders were exclusively used, the custom has not been abandoned even in the presence of ihe breech-loader. In employing the rest the Indians assume the military position—kneeling—while aiming. The stick is about four and a half feet long. The Utes, Snakes, Pawnees and Blackfeet, in order to make a crotch, avail themselves of two sticks which offer a firmer rest.

The introduction of the nitrocompound powders has undoubtedly enhanced the merits of shotguns of 1G and 20-bore. The first, loaded with two and a half drams of the chemical product and one and one-eighth ounces of shot, and the second with two drams and one ounce of shot, will have little or no recoil. Moreover, great advantages are gained in the use of thete small loaded with nitro-powder, bolh inlesser weight of the ammunition aa the weapon, freedom from smoke, ness of the gun. good pattern ana tration, less bodily fatigue,, and wl corresponding accuracy of aim. famous sportsmen of the Teche of Louisiana use exclusively these light guns. They hunt on horseback, and in shooting hold the weapon at arm's length. A brace of English snipe frequently falls to the two barrels.

The results of the experiments made at the Springfield National Armory by a board of (government officer*, daring the past few mouths, iodicates that one makers of nitro-com-pound powders are fast overtaking those of Europe.

The re-browning of guns may be done by sportsmen without recourse to a gunsmith. For English twist or steel barrels the following preparation may he used:

Spirit of nitre, one ounce. Tincture of steel, three-fourths of a dram.

Sublimate of mercury, oae-fe&if of dram. mm .• Blue stose, oae-half of a dram.: It

attention to this taufejwfc. alists have commenced to reliaqi hitherto prevailing notion that teeting and preserving game the encouraging a dangerous enemy tofihfir growing crops. They find that a (comfortable addition may be made to their incomes by letting the privileges te kill gams to sportsmen, and that if they care to harvest the feathered crop themselves they may secure a return proportionately as sure and remunerative as they derive from poultry. The same is true of the fish in the streams which flow through their lands. There is hardly a day that we do not hear of combinations of 'farmers, controlling a large extent of territory, uniting for the purpose of reaping the benefits of an increased abundance of fish and game. The

Farmers' Alliance of Kansas has taken the most advanced hand in this direction, and is alive to the benefits which may accrue from a close attention to this subject. This action of the Alliance is intended to put a stop to the great destruction, particularly of quail, which prevailed universally in Kansas during the close season of the past year. In Michigan, the grayling fishing, which appeared the greatest attraction to anglers in the northern portion of th« State, and which was thought to have become almost extinct, promises the coming season to greatly revive, through the cess&® tion of logging in most of the Btreams. Chicago anglers are now thorough.y aroused and united in the determination to protect the valuable waters of the State and the territory north of that city. Several stringent laws are now awaiting the action of the Legislature of Illinois for the furtherance of that purpose. j.

At intervals of five hours during the day repsat the operation. This must be continued for a week, the scratching to follow each app'ication. The finishing touches are given by scratching the last coat, pouring scalding ^ater down the barrels allowing them to stand until thoroughly cold— tb^s kills the action of the browning and corrosion—scratch again thorrughly but lightly rub with a clean cloth, then apply boiled linseed oil with a cloth and the operation is complete. Two precautions are' absolutely essential to success. On no

Account

must the mixture be allowed

to ftieeze, nor must a particle of grease touch the barrels while undergoing the process. Never permit even the tips of the fittgers to touch them while the work is in arogress.

Notjiong since an mteresting experiment Was tried in Boston as to whether an angler with rod and line could master a Swimming man. The contest occurred in the tank of the Boston Athletic Club. Mr. Mixter wielded the rod againti Mr. John Robinson, professor ol swimiiing of the club. The line was attachedao the cap of the Bwimmer. Mr. Mixter]used an eight-foot tarpon rod, with a Multiplying reel and a line capable Jf withstanding a weight of thirty-Jix pounds. The conditions were that the angler was to exhaust the twimmer so that he might be brought within gaffing distance in thirty minutes. The latter was to be considered the winner should he be able to break rod or line. He was not to touch bottom nor the sides of the tank. Professor Robinson after making several plunges in order to test the strength of the tackel, threw himsely upon his back and by threading water, resisted the efforts of the angler until time was called. Tjjjs was not considered conclusive as ooifal skill and eudurance in the water. Another, not so well equipped, next mad* the test, but in two minutes Mr. Mixter had brought him within gaffing distance and it was considered that he could have drowned his opponent had he been so inclined. The result of the experiment, was considered t? be in favor of the angler, unless brought vis-a-vis a swimmer of great strength, skill and endurance, then the conquest of the latter is an almost Impossible feat.

Although Miuncsob* possesses tho usands of splendid lakes and streams, once filled with an apparently inexhaustible supply of the finest game fish, prompt measures are necessary to check the process of depletion from which they are suffering.

The great body of summer visitors are no more to blame fur this than the native fisherman. The latter are the more destructive, inasmuch as their opportunity comes in the spring—before the arrival of the former—when the fish are on their spawniug beds. Although the State has been liberal in planting brook trout, and with good results, it ha* been somewhat niggardly in appointing the necessary officials to make its efforts thoroughly effective. It has but onu game and fish warden, and to him it gives a salary of cnly $200. Hs is a model and efficient officer, however, as he employs an assistant, to whom he pays more than the amount of which he is recipient. Every year the number of angling tourists who visit Minnesota is on the increase. These distribute a great sum of money, which percolates, with benefit, through mauy channels. It would seem wise, iu order to encourage jut increased flow of this monetary tide, hat the State should put forth every rtion to propogate and protect the of the «t.raazna aml ,lake»« hich are oue of the s$ro*igert magnets attraction.

The first split bamboo rod was made seme thirty-six years ago, by Samuel Fhllippi of Easton, Pa. The butt was made of ash, tapered below the reel-seat, the joint and tip of bamboo in fonr sections and built round. But three of these rods are now known to be in existence. From one of these made by Philippi was conceived the ide* of the present split bamboo rod.

A rod particularly auited, where si heavy sinker or belt is required to be cast from a free-running multiplying reel, may be made of two pieces of equal length, with but oue joint, the latter be* iagnon-doweled, BOt cylindrical ferrules. Use ectire length is seven and hall feet and of a weight of eight cr nine ounces. It may be built throughout of bamboo, or with *sh butt, and lanct wood, gteen heart, or betbabara top.
