SOLOMON IN ALL HIS 6L0RY A Glowing Description of the Mon arch’s Magnificence. They Scooped Mat the Aihei With SHot eU of Gold—Gold Flaehed In the Apparel and Reflected la the Water. Brooklyn, Feb. 88.— Dr. Talmage'a text was: i. King* 10: 7. “Behold, the half was not told me.” Solomon had resolved that Jerusa lem should be the center of all sacred, regal, and commercial magnificence. He set himself to work and monopo lized the surrounding desert as a high way for his caravans. He built the city of Palmyra around one of the prin ciple wells of the east, so that all the long trains of merchandise from the east were obliged to stop there, pay toll, and leave part of their wealth in the hands of Solomon's merchanta He manned the fortress Thapsacus at the chief ford of the Euphrates, and put under guard everything that passed there. The three great products of Palestine—wine pressed from the rich est clusters and celebrated all the world over; oil which in that hot coun try is the entire substitute for butter and lard and was pressed from the olive branches until every tree in the country became an oil well, and honey which was the entire product of sugar —these three great products of the country Solomon exported, and re ceived in return fruits and precious woods and the animals of every clime. He went down to Ezion-geber and ordered a fleet of ships to be con structed, oversaw the workmen and watched the launching of the flotilla which was to go out on more than a year’s voyage to bring home the wealth of the then known world. He heard that the Egyptian horses were large and swift, and long-maned and round-limbed, and he resolved to purchase them, giving $85 apiece for them, putting the best of these horses in his own stall, and sell ing the surplus to foreign potentates at great profit. lie heard that there was the best of timber on Mount Lebannon, and ho sent out 180,000 men to hew down the forest and drag the timber through the mountain gorges, to construct it into rafts to be floated to Joppa, and from thence to be drawn by ox teams twen ty-five miles across the land to Jerus alem. He heard that there were beau tiful flowers in other lands. He sent for them, planted them in bis own gar dens, and to this very day there are flowers found in the ruins of that city such as are to be found in no other part of Palestine, the lineal descend ants of the very flowers that Solomon planted. He heard that in foreign groves there were birds of richest voice and most luxurii^it wing. He sent out people to oatch them and bring thorn and bring them there, and he put them into his oages. % Stand back now and see this long train of camels coming up to the king's gate, and the ox trains from Egypt, gold and silver and precious stones, beasts of every hoof and birds of every wing, and fish of every scale! See the peacocks strut under the cedars, and the horsemen run, and the chariots wheel! Hark to the orchestra! Gaze upon the dance! Not stopping to look into the wonders of the temple, step right on to the causeway, and pass up to Solomon's palace! Here we find ourselves and a collec tion of buildings on which the king had lavished the wealth of many em pires. The genius of Hiram, the archi tect, and of the other artists is here seen in th«f long line of corridors and the suspended gallery and the approach to the throne. Traceried window op posite traceried window, ltronzed or naments bursting into lotus and lily and pomegranate. Chapiters sur rounded by network of leaves in which imitation fruit seemed suspended as in hanging basketa Three branches—so Josephus tells us—three branches sculptured on the marble, so thin and subtle that even the leaves seemed to quiver. A laver capable of holding 500 barrels of water on 000 brazen ox heads, which gushed with water and filled the whole place with cool ness and crystalline brightness and musical plash. Ten tables chased with chariot wheel and lion and cherubim. Solomon sat on a throne of ivory. At the seating place of the throne, on each end of the steps, a brazen lion. Why, my friend, in that place they trimmed their candles with snuffers of gold, and they cut their fruits with knives of gold, and they washed their faces in basins of gold, and they scooped out the ashes with shovels of gold, and they stirred the altar fires with tongs of gold. Gold reflected in the water! I Gold flashing from the apparel! Gold| blazing in the crown! Gold! gold! t gold! I Of course the news of the affluence of that place went out everywhere by every caravan ahd by wing of every ship, until soon the streets of Jerusa lem are criwded with curiosity seek ers What is that long procession ap proaching Jerusalem? I think from the pomp of it there must be royalty in the train. I smell the breath of the spices which are brought as presents pnd I hear the shout of the drivers, and1 I see the dust covered caravan showing that they come from far away. Cry the news up to the palace. The queen of Slieba advancea Let all the peopie come out to see. Let the mighty men of the land come out on the pal ace corridord Let Solomon come down the stairs of the palace before fhe queen has alighted. Shake out the cinnamon, and the saffron, and the calamSs, and the frankincense, and pass it into the'treasure house. Take up the diamonds until they glitter in the sun. The queen of Sheba alighta She enters the palace She washes at the bath. She sits down at the banquet. The enp bearers bow. The meat smokes. You hear, the dash of waters from the molten ]ns Then she rises from the banquet, iind walks through the conservatories, asd gazes on the architecture, and she asks Solomon many strange questions, and she learns about the religion of the Hebrews, ana she then and there becomes a servant of the Lord God. Sue is overwhelmed. She begins to think that all the precious woods which are intended to be turned into harps and psalteries and into railings for the causeway between the temple and the palace, and the $180,000— she begins to think that all these pres ents amount to nothing in such a place and she is almost ashamed that she has brought them, and she says within herself: “I heard a great deal about this wonderful religion of the Hebrews but 1 find it far beyond my highest anticipations 1 must add inoro than SO per cent to what has been related, It exceeds everything that I could have expected. The half—the half was not told me.” Learn from this subject what a beautiful thing it is when social posi tion and wealth surrender themselves to Ood. When religion comes to a neighorhood, the first to receive it are the women. Some men say it is be cause they are weak minded. I say it is because they have quicker perception of what is right, more ardent affection and capacity for sublimer emotion. After the women have received the gospel then all the distressed and the poor of both sexes, those who have no friends, accent Jesus. Last of all come the people of affluence and high social position. Alas, that it is so! If there are those here today who have been favored of fortune, or, as I might better put it, favored of Ood, surrender all you have and all you ex pect to bo to the Lord who blessed this Queen of Sheba. Certainly you are not ashamed to be found in this queen’s company. I am glad that Christ has had his imperial friends in all ages— Elizabeth Christina, queen of Prussia; Maria Feodorovna, queen of Uussia; Marie, empress of France; Helena, the imperial mother of Constantine; Ar cadia, from her great fortunes building public baths in Constantinople and toiling for the alleviation of the masses; Queen Clotilda, leading her husband and 3,000 of his armed war riors to Christian baptism; Elizabeth, of Burgundy, giving her jewelled glove to a beggar, and scattering great fort unes among the distressed; Prince Al bert, singing “Bock of Ages” in Wind sor castle, and Queen Victoria, incog nita, reading the scriptures to a dying pauper. I bless God that the day is coming when royalty will bring all its thrones, and music all its harmonies, and paint ing all its pictures, and sculpture all its statuary, and architecture all its pillars, and conquest all its sceptres; and the queens of the earth, in long line of advance, frankincense filling the air and the camels laden with gold shall approach Jerusalem, and the gates shall be hoisted, and the great burden of splendor shall bo lifted into the palace of this greater than Solo mon. Again, my subject teaches me what is earnestness in the search of truth. Do you know where Sheba was? It was in Abyssinia, or some say in the southern part of Arabia Felix. In either case it was a great way off from Jerusalem. To get from there to Je rusalem she had to cross a country in fested with bandits, and go across blistering deserts. Why dii not the queen of Sheba stay at home and send a committee to inquire about this new religion, and have the delegates report in regard to that religion and wealth of King Solomon? She wanted to see for herself, and hear for herself. She ’ could not do this by work of com mittee. She felt she had a soul worth 10,000 kingdoms like Sheba, and she wanted a robe richer than any woven by oriental shuttles, and she wanted a crown set with the jewels of eter nity. Bring out the camels. Put on the spices. Gather up the jewels of the throne and put them on the cara van. Start now; no time to be lost. Goad on the camels. When I see that caravan, dust covered, weary and ex hausted, trudging on across the desert and among the bandits until it reaches Jerusalem, I say, “There is an earnest seeker after the truth." But there are a great many of you, voff friends, who do not act in that way. You all want to get the truth, but you want the truth to come to you; you do not want to go to it. There are some people who fold their arms and say, “I am ready to become a Christian at any time; if I am to be saved I shall be saved, and if I am to be lost I shall be lost.” Ah! Jerusalem will never come to you: you must go to Jerusalem. The religion of the Lord Jesus Christ will not come to you; you must go and get religion. Bring out the camels; put on all the sweet spices, all the treasures of the heart's affection. Start for the throne. Go in and hear the waters of salvation dashing in fountains all around about the throne. Sit down at the banquet —the wine pressed from the grapes of the heavenly Eschol, the angels of Goil the cup-bearers. Goad on the camels; Jerusalem will never come to you; you must go to Jerusalem. The bible de clares it: “The Queen of the South”— that is, this very woman I am speaking of—“the Queen of the South shall rise up in judgment agaiust this generation and condemn it; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold! a greater than Solomon is here!” God help me to break up the infatuation of those people who are sitting down in idleness expecting to be saved. “Strive to enter in at the strait gate. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. ” Take the kingdom of heaven by violence. Urge on the camels! ^J\ Again, my subject impresses me with the fact that religion is a surprise to any one that gets it. This storv of the new religion in Jerusa lem, and of the glory of King Solomon, who was a type of Christ —that story rolls on and on, and is told by every traveler coming back from Jerusalem. The news goes on the wing of every ship and every cara van, and you know a story enlarges us it is retold, and by the time that story gets down into the southern part of Ar abia Felix,and the queen of Shebahears it must be a tremendous story. And I yet this queen declares in regard to it. i although she has heard so much and ! had her anticipations raised so high, j the half—the half was not told her. j So religion is always a surprise to ! any one that gets it. The story of i grace—an old story. Apostles preached I it with rattle of chain; martyrs de- j dared it with arm of tire; deathbeds ' have affirmed it with visions of glorv and ministers of religion have sounded it through the lanes, and the highways and the chapel and the cathedrals It has been cut into stone with chisel, and spread on the canvas with pencil; and it has been recited in the doxology of great congregationa And yet when a man first comes to look on the palace of God’s mercy, and to see the royalty of Christ, and the wealth of this ban quet, and the luxuriance of his attend ants, and the loveliness of his face, and the joy of his service, he exclaims with prayers, with tears, with sighs, with triumphs: "The half—the half was not told me!” I appeal to those in this house who are Christians. Compare the idea you had of the joy of the Christian life be fore you became a Christian with the appreciation of that joy you have now, since you have become a Christian, and you are willing to attest before angels and men that you never in the days of your spiritual bondage had any appre ciation of what was to come. You are ready today to answer, and if I gave you an opportunity • in the midst of this assemblage, you would speak out and say in regard to the discoveries you have made of the mercy and the grace and the goodness of God: “The half—the half was not told me! ” Well, we hear a great deal about the good time that is coming to the world, when it is to be girded with salvation. Holiness on the behs of the horsca The lion's mane patted by the hand of a babe. Ships of Tarshlsh bringing cargoes for Jesus, and the hard, dry, barren, winter-bleached, storm-scarred, thunder-split rock breaking into floods of bright water. Deserts into which dromedaries thrust their nostrils, be cause they were afraid of the simoon— deserts blooming into carnation roses and silver-tipped lillies. It is the old story. Everybody tells it Isaiah told it, John told it, Paul told it, Ezekiel told it, Luther told it, Calvin told it, John -Milton told it— everybody tells it; and yet—and yet when the midnight shall fly the hills, and Christ shall marshal his great army, and China, dashing her idols into the dust, shall hear the voice of God and wheel into line; and India de stroying-her juggernaut and snatching up her little children from the Ganges, shall hear the voice of God and wheel into line; and vine-covered Italy, and all the nations of the earth shall hear the voice of God and fall into line: then the church which has been toil ing and struggling through the cen turies, robed and garlanded like a bride adorned for h«!r husband, shall put aside her veil and look up into the face of her lord and king and say: “The half — the half was not told me!” Well, there is coming a greater sur prise to every Christian—a greater sur prise than anything I have depicted Heaven is an old story. Everybody talks about it. There is hardly a hymn in the hymn-book that does not refer to it. Children read about it in their sabbath school book. Aged men put on their spectacles to study it. We say it is a harbor from the storm. We cali it our home. We say it is the house of many mansions. We weave together alf sweet, beautiful, delicate, exhilarant words; we weave them into letters, and then we spell it out in rose and lily and amaranth. And yet that place is going to be a surprise to the most intelligent Christian. J.ike the queen of Sheba, the report has come to us from the far country, and many of us have started. It is a des ert march, but we urge on the camels. What though our feet be blistered with the way? We are hastening to the palace. We take all our loves and hopes and Christian ambitions, as frankincense and myrrh and cassia to the great king. We must not rest. We must not halt The night is coming on, and it is not safe out here in the desert: Urge on the camels. I see the domes against the sky, and the houses of Lebanon, and the temples and the gardens. See the fountains dance in the sun, and the gates flash as they open to let in the poor pil grims. f-end the word up to the palace that we are coming, and that we are weary of the march of the desert. The King will come out and say: Welcome to the palace; bathe in these waters, re cline on these banks. Take this cinnamon and frankincense and myrrh and put it upon a censer and swing it before the altar.” ■ And yet, my friends, when heaven bursts upon us it will be a greater sur prise than that—Jesus on the throne, and we made like him! All our Chris tian friends surrounding us in glory! All our sorrows and tears and sins gone by forever! The thousands of thou sands. the one hundred and forty and four thousand, the great multitudes that no man can number, will cry. world without end: “The half—the half was not told us!” Now York's Rich and Poor. None do so little for tho verv poor of Now York »s ils very rich. Efficient workers among the poor nro at present generally drawn from tho poor them selves, or from the middle and pro fessional class. No one need wonder at this. Effectual charity work and the requirements of modern society do not easily consort. A vejty small pro portion of those who possess enormous wealth in the city subscribe liberally to its various charities: comparatively few can be counted on for n ready support in any properly conducted and hopeful philanthropic movement; and fewur still are fmiud willing to fulfill the more difficult, the more necessary duty of gaining personal knowledge of the needs and wrongs of the poor through personal study of their situation.nnd friendly intercourse with themselves. I say.such attention.such knowledge, are not likely to be given by the very rich. To win fortune to-day implies a singleness of purpose, a concentration of ail the faculties of tVe man to the doing of one thing. The very rich man must be a very busy niun if he would make largo sums or keep large sums of money. Tne difficulties pre senting themselves to his ambition are like tough wood, that nothing but the keen edge of an axe can deal with, and to be sharp means almost of necessity to bo narrow. Great riches arc apt. as One wo reverence taught long age, to ossify the soul, aud mnko the attain* meut and development of an ideal or truly sympathetic life always difficult, sometimes wellnigh impossible. 1 say, therefore, we expect too much from our very rich meu and women when we call upon them to lead the crusade against poverty aud vice. Certuiuly if we have expectation of their doing so, we in New York have been disappoint ed.—Dr. W. S. Ruin*ford, in harper'» Weekly. __ A New Raven man has worn the aatue coat for thirty, live vean.

The number of hogs in the United States %n reported by the department of agri culture, January 1, 1892. was 52,898,019, be Vig 1,772,911 more than was reported a year ago, 793, ;39 more than two years ago, 8,051,494 more than five years ago, 9,110, 000 more than ten years ago, and 0,136,000 more than fifteen years ago. Of the 52, 898,019 in the United States the first of last month, the twelve packing states were credited with 85,059,375, or 1,703,135 more than a year ago. While the twelve packing states increased over 1,700. 00, all the other states increased only 66,778. The greatest increase was in Iowa, which state was credited wi li 1,184, '.0 more hogs than last year, but a strange feature of the marked increase in Iowa is the fact that receipts at all the packing points in that state have been so light for some time past that Ottumwa, Keokuk, Mar shalltown, Cedar Rapids and packers at other towns have been going to Omaha and Kansas City for supplies and the number of liogs slaughtered at Cedar Rap ius and Sioux City alone since November 1* 1891, to date, compared with the corre sponding period last year exhibits 153,090 decrease.

Iowa, Illinois and Missouri to gether were credited with 16,63.',319, or about 1,180.631 more than a year ago and 298.000 more than two years ago.

Many prominent Chicago dealers that have lately traveled exten sively through Iowa report that both the number of pigs and hogs, especially the latter, U much smaller than a year ago. Iowa farmers and shippers coming to Chicago generally say the “crop’’ is some what smaller than a year ago, which would seem correct by the way Iowa pack ers are hustling at outside ’markets for hogs. i-nicago urovers journal: A Stock Yard live stock commission firm had dealings with one J. C. Stubblefield who was en gaged in buying stock in Kansas,Missouri and Texas, and who from time to time ap plied to the firm for advances of money In April, 1SS9, an impostor telegraphed to the firm from Chctopa, Kan., for *4,0 U. The money was sent to the impostor by the Pacific Express company, and the man claiming to be J C. Stubblefield was iden tified by a hotel keeper and received the money. The deception was discovered when the genuine Stubblefield arrived in Chicago. Then suit was brought against the Pacific Express company In the court below judgment was entered for the defendants, which finding the appellate court reverses, the opinion being written by Judge Moran. He says: The rule as to the liberty of express companies to deliver matter intrusted t» them is thus stated by our supreme court: ‘-They be some insurers for safe delivery; so. noth ing can excuse them from their obligation safely to carry and deliver but the act of God or the public enemy ” In this case there cannot be the slightest doubt that me nrm supposed that the request for money came from J. C. Stubblefield, with whom they had dealt It was the duty of the express company to strictly observe directions and deliver the money to J. C. Stubblefield, the consignee. A failure to do so, not induced by any negligence of the consignor, whatever the circumstances of fraud or imposition that brought it about, will not excuse the carrier He de livers at his peril and the question of his care or diligence, bo it ever so great, is not to be considered. The prevalence of blackleg and the numerous losses from this disease has provoked much discussion and many rem edies have been prescribed, but neverthe less the losses occur with increasing fre quency. Col. W. A. Harris, known throughout the United States as a breeder of short horn cattle at Lenwood, Kan., has a remedy which he has used success fully the past forty yea-s. It is as fol lows: Ten pounds of sulphur, six pounds copperas, three pounds saltpetre, three pounds air-slacked lime, mixed with two or three times the amount of salt which the above compound makes. Feed this mixture instead of salt,for a few weeks before turning on grass in the spring and while changing feed in the fall. In fact It is a good ingredient for your cattle to have access to at all times. Colonel Har ris says that when his cattle have been liberally supplied with the above mixture he has had no loss, while at times when a proper supply has not been kept by the sattle he has met with losses from black leg. A gentleman of large experience with spring lambs gives the following advice in the National Provisiouer: ‘‘Select only grime,fat stock—always the best of the Bock. In dressing early lambs cut them apen only to the breast bone, but as the weather becomes warm it is best to cut down to the head. Take out entrails, leav ng the haslet Head,feet and skin must all ae left on. Skin the hind legs and dra— the caul over them and well down over tta. Sidneys, securing it with skewers, ails the caul just enough to let the Kidneys ihrouirh Replace the pelt over tho legs. Be careful about putting in back seta The sticks should be just the right lebgtb; fasten one end to the flank and the other ,n the breast close up to the first rib, hav •ng the Sticks across in the back just be aind the kidneys. Wrap the whole car 'B»® with clean white muslin, then with nurlap or baggage, and ship by express. Uo not handle too soon after killing, but allow the animal heat to get entirely out of ;he meat before shipping.
