The ungov- n-rnnl . kIuvp: t!n rnlivil dessert: the joint that proves to le unmaslical'le; the j delayed marketing; the perplexities or a caterer; the diiiiculty of doing proper work, and yet always living presentable. Though you may say there shall 13 no enre or anxiety, there will be care and there will bo anxiety. In l('tM the cap tain general provided a very grand en tertainment, and among other things Jio had a fountain in his garden a fountain of strong drink. In it were four hogsheads of brandy, eight hogs heads of water, 25, COO lemons, thirteen hundredweight of Lisbon sugar, live jiounds of grated nutmeg, 0 toasted biscuit, and a lo.it I mile on 'mrpose was placed in the fountain and a loy rowed around it and filled the cups of the peo ple who came there to lie supplied. Well, -von Kn- lhat was a luxurious entertain- ment, anl cf course the man liad no anxiety; but I have to tell you that, j though you. had or propose an entertain- j merit like that, you have anxiety. In J that very thing comes the divine re- i ward. We were lorn to serve, and when Wt gerve others, we serve God. The ilush on t.hat woman's cheek, as she bends over j the hit stove, is as sacred in God's sight j ns the i?1 on tlie cheek of one who, on j n hot dav preaches the Gospel. We may serve God with plate, and cutlery, and j broom; as certainly as we can serve him j with psalm b.'k and liturgy. Margaret. : queen of Norv Sweden, and Den- j mark, had a r.Val cup cf ten hps. on . which were reco.v'cd tlie r.ames of the ( guests who had ,'Iiunk from this cup. i And everv Christian, woman has a royal j cun. on which are written all tho names j cf those who have ev er been entertained ; by her in Christian st;-le nanies not cut ; by human ingenuitv, lut vyritien by tne hand of a divine Jesus. But, niy friends, ; -vou are not to toil unne.resiviuily. Though She fare lie plain, cheerful presidency of fae table, and cleanliness of appointments will be good enough for anybody that ever coined to vonr house. John Howard i was invited to the house of a nobleman. , He said: "I will come on one condition, j - -- . . and that is that you nave noxmng m, iwtatocs on tlie table." The requisition was complied with. Cyrus, king of rersia. under tlie same circumstances, prescribed that on the table there must l-c nothing but bread. Of course, these were "extremes, but they arc illustrations of the fact that more deiends uion the banouet . crs than upon the ban-met. I want . i:-f 41,:, iAM of Christian entortain- - ment out of a positive txmuage imo a glorious inducement. Every effort j -vou put forth, and every dollar you .

'Inasmuch 113 yo have done it to one of the least of thesis my brethren, ye have done it to me." In picture galleries we have often seen r presentations of Walter Scott and Ids friends, or Washington Irving with hits ti3socintes; but all those engravings will fade out, while through everlasting ages, hanging luminous ami conspicuous, will le the pictures of you and your Christian guests. You see we have Kissed out from the trials into the rewards of Christian hos pitality; grand, glorious uml eternal. The liist reward of Christian hospitality it tli4: divine U-Tieiliclion. When anyone attends to this duty, God's blessing comes i!p4i him, ujHiu his companion, uon his childr4.11, uhih his dining hall, upon his pail4r, UJKII1 his nursery. Tho blessing conn s in at tho front dxr, and tho back door, and down through the skylights. (hmI draws a lung mark of credit for ser-vi4-4-s receiver!. Christ said to his discifiles: '1 h-that reeeiveth you, receiveth me; ami he that givelh a ctii of coM water in the name of a distaplo shall in no wise lose his reward." As wo have hail bo many things rccorde-d sigaiust us in heaven, it will lie a satisfaction to have written on unfailing archives tho fact that in tho month of May, or June, or Scptcnilier, or L)ecemler, 1SS7, wo niado tho blissfid mistake of supiKising that we wero enter taining weak men like ourselves, when I! they showed tlieir pinions before they left, and we found out that they were angels unawares. Another reward comes in tho good wishes ami prayers of our guests. I do not think one's houso ever gets over having had a good man or woman ubide then-. George WhiteficM used to scratch 0:1 tlii: wimlow of tlnj room where ho was entertained -a passage of Scripture, and in 01 n case, after he left, the whole house hold was con veiled by tho muling of that passage on the window pane. Tho woman of Shmiem furnished a little loom over the wall for Klisha, and all the ages have heard the glorious consequences. On a col l. stormy winter night my h.thcr entertained Trueman Osborne, the evangelist, and through all eternity I will thank (hnl that Trueman Osborne stopied atourlmuse. How many of our guests have brought for us condolence and sym pathy ami help! There is a legend told of St. Sehalil, that in his Christian roumls li4! used to stop for entertainment - at the li4uso of a ioor cartwright. Coming tliere one day, ho found tho cartwright and his family freezing for tho lack ' any fuel. St. Sebald ordered the n. .11 to go and break tho icicles from the side of the house and bring them in, and tho icicle.-: ' - ::;':.! !..! ' ' I tsc and thrown on the in..; ii., ih.'y .! .; an to blaze immediately,; and the freezing fani iiy gathered around and wero warmed by them. That was a legend; but how often have our guests come in to gather up the coM, freezing sorrows of our life, kindling them into illumination and warmth and good cheer. IIo who opens his house to Christian hospitality turns those who are strangers into friends. Years will go by and there will be great changes in you, and thero will be a great change in them. Some day you will be sitting in loneliness, watching a bereave ment," and you will get a letter in a strange handwriting, and you will look at the postoliice mark and say: "Why, I don't know anybody living in that city;" and you will break the envelope, and there you will read the story of thanks for your Christian generosity long years liefore, and how they have hoard afar off of your trouble. And he letter will lie so full of kindly renii nu'cences and Christian condolence it will Ije a 'plaster large enough to cover up nil the de?p gashes of your soul. When we take people into our houses as Christian guests, we take them into our sympathies forever. In Uort, Holland, a soldier with a sword at his side stopjied at a house, desiring lodging and shelter. The woman of tho house at first refused ad mittance, saying that the men of the house were not at home; but when ho showed his credentials that he had leen honorably discharged from tho army, ho was admitted and tarried during tho night. In the night time thero wag a knocking at the front door, and two ruffians broke in to despoil that household. No sooner had they come over tho doorsill than the armed guest, who had primed his piece ami charged it with slugs, met them, and telling tho woman to stand back, I am happy to say, dropped the two assaulting dcseradoes dead at his feet. Well, now there are no bandits prowling around to destroy our houses; but how often it is that wo find those that have been our guests become our defenders. We gave l hum shelter fii bt, and then afterwards in the great conflicts of dife they fought for our reputation, they fought for our prop erty, they fought for our soul. Another reward that comes from Chris tian hospitality is in the assurance that we shall have hospitality shown to us and to ours. In tho upturnings cf this. life who knows in what city or what land we may be thrown, and how much we may need an open door? There may come no such crisis to us, but our children may be thrown into some such 6trait. He who is in a Christian manner hospitable has a free pass through all Christendom. It may be that j ou will have been dead fifty years liefore any such stress shall come upon one of your descendants; but do you not suppose that God can remem ber fifty years? and the knuckle of the grandchild will be heard against the door of some stranger, and that door will open, and it will be talked over in heaven, and it will be said: "That man's grandfather, fifty years ago, gave shelter to a stranger, and now a stranger's door is open for a grandson." Among the Greeks, after entertaining and being entertained, they take a piece of lead and cut it in two, and the host takes one half of the piece of lead and the guest takes the other half as they j art. These two pieces of lead are handed down from generation to genera tion, and from family to family, and after a while, perhaps one of the families in want or in trouble go out with this one piece of lead anil find the other family with the corresponding piece of lead, and no sooner is the tally completed than the old hospitality is aroused and eternal friendship pledged. So the memory of Christian hospitality will go down from generation to generation, and from fam ily to family, and the tally will never bo lost, neither in this world nor the world to come. Malk this: Tlie day -will come when we will all be turned out of doorg without any exception bare foot, taro head, no water in the canteen, no bread in the haversack, and wo will 50 In that way into the future world. And I won- : ..4....il 1 .-.ii, .tfrtl ti 1. .a m11 nruin fiA. J UVl II. V lV I lllll Ill'IUIIIVII.. A. .'J"!. j fore us, and if wo will o received into everlasting habitations? Francis Fresco bald was a rich Italian, and ho was very merciful and very hospitable. Ono day .ui Englishman by the name of Thomas Cromwell apoared at his door asking for shelter and alms, which were cheerfully rendered. Freseoliald afterward lost all his projerty, liecamo very jxior, and wandered up into England, and ono day ho saw a procession psussing, and lo! it was tho lord chancellor of England, and lo! tho lord chancellor of England was Thomas Cromwell, the very man whom he had onco liefriendod down in Italy. The lord chancellor at the first glance of l 'rescohald recognized him and dismounted from his carriage, threw his arms around him and embraced him, paid his debts, invited him to his house ami said: "Here are ten pieces of money to pay for the bread you gave me, and hen? are ten pieces of money to provide for tho horse you loaned me, and here are four bags, in each of which are 400 ducats. Take them and lo well." So it will lie at last with us. If wo entertain Christ in the jierson of his disciples in this world, when wo pass up into the next country wo will meet Christ In a regal procession, and he will jiour all tlje wealth of heaven into our lap and open before us everlasting hospitalities. And 0 how tame are the richest entertain ments wo can givo on earth compared with the regal munificence which Christ will display beforo our souls in heaven! 1 was reading tho account wliich Thomas Fuller gives of tho enter tainment .provided hy George Neville. Among oilier things for that banquet they had 'MO quarters of wheat, 104 tuns of wine, 80 oxen, 8,000 capons, 200 cranes, 200 kids, 4,000 pigeons, 4,000 rabbits, 201 bitterns, 200 pheasants, 500 partridges, 400 plover, 100 email, 100 curlews, 1,500 hot .pasties, 4,000 cold venison pasties, 4,000 custards tho Earl of Warwick acting as steward, anil ser vitors 1,000. O, what a grand feast was that! but then comparo it with tho pro vision which Ciod has niado for us on high: that great banquet hour; the 144, 000 as guests; all tho harps uid truin ets of heaven as tho orchestra; the vin tage of the celestial hills poured into the tankards; all the fruits of the orchards of God piled on the golden platters; the fmgcls of the Lord for cup bearwrs, and tho once folded starry banner of the blue sky flung out over the scene, while seated at the head of tlie table shall bo the One who eighteen centuries ago declared: "I was a stranger and ye took me in." Our sins pardoned, may we all mingle in those hospitalities! A Demand on Torpedo Roattt. Decidedly tho time has como when the torpedo boats must do something, no matter what, to justify their existence. For any powers they havo of late shown themselves to be possessed of they are only to bo spoken of along with the gal lant Bugaboo, and "a royal salute of bricks" would be a fit recognition of their imaginary merits. "At Toulon re cently tho torpedo boats failed so badly that even their great patron, Admiral L'Aube, threw them over; at the recent maneuvers they disabled themselves one after another, liko crazy wasps, and yes terday's attack upon the fleet in the So- .lent sooms to havo been tho worst fiasco of all. Capt. Ixing, we are told, "han dled his flotilla of twonty boats In a most masterly and scientific manner," so the fault must tie in tho boats themselves. Yet, says another correspondent, "it seemed to all- who watched the fight closely that very few torpedo boats could have passed the outiost8 so skillfully posted by Liout. Slado, and if any had got through they would inevitably have lieen sunk -by fire from tlie ironclads." And besides those in tho action a few ran aground for variety's sake, although, says a sarcastic witness, "without suffering any material injury beyond theoretical destruction." As we said before, a tor pedo boat must blow up something just to show that she can do it with all tho chances in her favor. Fall Mall Gazette. Novel Tour by Five Artists. I have heard often of artists who made a sketcliing tour in some old craft, hired for tho purpose, and navigated along the coast of Maine or to tho provinces; but until recently I never knew cf a railroad car being employed for a similar purpose. A young artist whom I met at tho club told me that he and four or five others had leased an old passenger car from ono of tho local railways. They paid very littlo for it and at a small cost they have fitted it for a journey. One end is pro vided with sleeping lierths, and the rest of the car is a "living," dining and cook ing room. They have laid in a stock of provisions, and aro to be attended by a man servant, who will cook and keep house generally. The car will bo hauled by local freight trains chiefly, and the part- will stop wherever tho fancy strikes them. Of course this movable house can bo side tracked and left at any point as long as the inmates desire, so that they will bo able to make excursions from it, being away over night if they so please, and leaving the servant in charge. Boston Post. The Kaiser to Live Five Tears. A letter just received from Gastein gives a very reassuring account of the 6tate of the German emperor's health. The writer, after remarking that his majesty will perhaps owe the prolonga tion of his life to this visit to his favorite watering place, goes on to say that he walks sprucely far better than most old men of 75 or SO. He does not lean on the arms of his attendants, but he is a little bent. Tlie writer adds: "The em peror's physician tells me that he is de cidedly better than he was last year, and that it is not only possible, but probable, that he will live five or six years longer." Chicago Herald. Too Many Doctor. A committee of the association of Ger man physicians has sent a circular to the directors of all the gymnasia of Germany asking them to dissuade students from adopting the medical profession. Accom panying the circular are statistics which show the proportion between the number of physicians licensed each year and the number who die or retire from the pro fession. Chicago Times. CHINA'9 GREAT wXlL'A MYTH. Surprising Statements Made by a French MUtioiturjfOrlgln of the Idea. Abbe Larricu, formerly a missi4.nary in China, has published a pamphlet (Paris, Leroux), on the great wall of China, to demonstrate that this Htructuro docs not exist and lias never existed. The opu lar belief is that this wall stretches for alniut 800 leagues across China, from tho wa to the province of Kan-Su, that it is wholly constructed of cut stone, and 80 cubits high by 12 broad. It is believed to run straight 011 regardless of oljstac !os, going down valleys and up mountains, without a break, except such as time has made, along its whole course. This no tion originated with a Jesuit named Jlar tini, who visited China alxjut KiaO, and his description was followed by sul quent writers. M. Iirricu lias liviil for several years under what would have lieen the shadow of the Great Wall hail there lieen one; he has studied the writings of recent writers especially Ablie Hue who have crossed the lino of the alleged wall in various places; he has likewiso studied tho Chinese history of tho subject, and his conclusions are as follows: (1) The term "Great Wall" is at the I attorn of all tho misunderstanding, and it comes from the Chinese expression, "the wall of the ten thousand li;" (2) as desciibl hy Martini and other writers who have copied him, thi. wall does not and never did exist; (i!) a Chinese emiKTor undoubtedly did conceive the idea of a great wall from tho Gulf of Liao-Long 011 the east to Kan-Su on the west, ami this, though never realized, had a beginning; (4) all along the pro poised lino of the wall square towel's of earth, or of earth faced with brick, were constructed at considerable distances from each other, but these wero never joined together by any wall as was originally intended. In Romo of tho defiles along tho route there aro wall, but theso wero intended to close theso particular passages, or thoy are merely tho walls of villages, and are not parts of a larger scheme. Hence tho only part of the scheme of tho Great Wall carried out was the construction of theso scattered towers; tho rest never went lioyoiid tho brain that conceived it; it was never more than a fancy, and it is now a myth. This huge Chinese wall, says Ablie Larrieu, is a huge Chinese lie, and as for the million soldiers which wero said to guard it night and day, they aro myths likewise. Tho alleged Great Wall is a favorite excursion for Europeans visiting Pekin, and such a question as whether it exists at all or not shoulil lie an easy one to settle definitely. London Times. Japan's Commercial Fort. Yokohama is tho greatest commercial port of tho empire, and its imjiortance is increasing steadily year by year. Fine steamers enter and leave its harbor every day, and it is in telegraphic communica tion with all parts of the world. Its most important export at the present time is silk, the value of that sent to the United States and Europe last year amounting to $12,500,000. Tea comes next in order of importance, and almost all of it is sent direct to San Francisco for American consumption. That sent to the United States last year was valued at $:l,750,000, and the amount exported is slowly but Bteadily increasing. Of 4,000 foreigners in Yokohama near ly 000 are British subjects, 250 Ameri cans, 1(50 Germans, 100 French, and 2,500 Chinese. The Chinese hero are 6teady, hard working and money getting, and aro counted among the most suhstan tiid leople of the place. Cor. Baltimore Sun. France Against Oleomargarine. France has enacted a stringent law "to repress frauds in the sale of butter." It prohibits selling or cxjiosing for sale, im lort or export, under the name of butter, of any margarine or other substitute for butter or mixture of any substance with butter. Retail dealers in oleomargarine or other substitutes for butter are to no tify buyers of the character of the arti cle and to have it plainly marked on the package. Manufacturers and wholesale dealers are to plaiidy mark or brand every package so as to show the actual charac ter of ita contents, and all transportation companies or persons who carry any sub stitutes for butter are to keep plainly en tered in tlieir books and way bills a record of the brands or marks of all such pack ages transported. The penalties for vio lation of the law aro imprisonment from six days to six months and line of $10 to $ 000. American Agriculturist. Eclipse of the San. Tho American expedition which went to Tokio, Japan, to observe tlie solar eclipse which took place on Saturday ap pears to have had a reasonable measure of success, although tho weather wa somewhat cloudy and unfavorable. Fif teen excellent photographs were obtained, ten before and five after totality, but during tlie period of totality the sun was unfortunately obscured so that no photo graph of tlie corona could bo had. After going so far to make the observations this was unfortunate, but it is understood that sufficient data have lieen secured to in sure the success of the main object of the expedition. The Epoch. Baseball In Panama. The baseball epidemic has made its appearance in Panama, and all the slang of the game is heard on every corner, although the Spanish perversion of the English words renders the talk unintel ligible to most Americans, which is some thing of an advantage. Boston Tran script. Gondoliers on a Strike. Tho Venetian gondoliers have 6truck, objecting to a night service lately estab lished on the Grand canal. Altogether the labor market in Venice is in rather a disturbed condition, for the bakers are out on strike and the waiters threaten to follow 6uit- New York Sun. Turkish Mission Schools. The opposition of the Turkish govern ment to mission schools in Palestine, so far as the education in them of Mohani mtsdan cluldren is concerned, has culmi nated in an order from Constantinople forbidding tlie attendance of Moslems al together.
