TALIACE'S SERMON.
Dr. Talmae preached from the test, ' au j Tuur ovn tuth mountain and
Isaiah xliii, 6: "I will say to the north, your own Gettys! iir all along these

Just what my text meant by the
my text meant by
north and south, I cannot say, but in
the United States the two words are so
point blank iu their meaning that no
one can aouw. j ney mean more man
east and west, for although I
those two last three have been rivalries
mad disturbing ambitions and infeii
eities and silver bills and world's fair
eontroversies, there have been betwei
them no batteries unlimbe ed, no en
trenchments dug, no long lines of sepul
chral mounds thrown up. It has never
been Massachusetts Fourteenth regi
ment against 'Wisconsin Zouaves; it
lias never been Virginia artillery
against Mississippi rilles. ISut the
north and the sjuth are words that
have been surcharged with tragedies
They are words which suggest that for
forty years the clouds had been gather
ing for a four years tempest which
thirty years axo burst in a fury that
shook this planet as it lias never bsen
shaken since it swung out at the first
world building. I thank God that the
words have lost some of the intensity
which they possessed three decades
ago; that a vast multitude of northern
jieople have moved south and a vast
multitude of southern people have
moved north and there have been inter
marriages by the ten thousand and
northern colonels have married the
daughters of southern captains, and
Texas rangers have united for life with
' the daughters of New York abolition
ists and their children are half north
ern and half sou hern and altogether
patriotic. But north and south are
words that need to be brought into still
. closer harmonization. I thought that
now when we are half way between
presidential elections and sectional ani
mosities are at the lowrst ebb and now
just after a presidential journey when
our chief magistrate, who was chiefly
elected by the north, has been cordially
received at the. south, and now just
after two memorial days, one of them
a month ago strewing flowers on south
ern graves and the other yesterday
strewing flowers on northern graves, it
might be appropriate and useful for
me to prea-h a sermon which would
, twist two garlands, one for the north
ern dead and the other for the south
ern dead, and have the two interlocked
in a chain of (lowers that shall bind
forever the two sections into one; and
who knows but that this may be the
day when the prophecy of the text,
made in regard to the ancients, may be
fulfilled in regard to this country and
the north give up its prejudices and
the south keep not back I's confidence.

of the living soldiers and sailors of the
north and south, who though in vari
ance for a long while, are now at peace
and in hearty loyalty to the United
.States government and ready if need
be t) march shoulder to shoulder
against tuiy foreign foe. The twenty
six winters that have passed since the
war, 1 think, have suliiciently cooled
the hatreds that once burned north
ward and southward to allow the ie'
mark that they who fought in that con
flict were honest on both sidea. The
chaplains of both armies were honest
in their prayers. The faces that went
into battle, whether they marched to
ward the Gulf of Mexico or marched
to the North star, were honest faces.
It is tco much to ask either side to be
lieve that those who came out from
their homes, forsaking father aud
mother and wife and child, many of
them never to return, were not in earn
est when they put their life in awtul
exigency. Witness the last scene at
at family prayers among the Green
mountains or down by the fields of cot

fice their all for fun. Men do not eat
mouldy bread or go without bread at
all for fun. Men do not sleen unshelt
erel in equinoctial storms for fun.
There were some no doubt on both
sides who enlisted for soldier's pay o.'
expecting opportunity for violence and
pillaga or burning with revenge and
thirst for human blood, but such cases
were so rare many of you who were in

an instance of such depravity.

Paul II. Shipman has a very 1 1 a;ai.t
"Fox Tale" in the Wide Awake. Here
i ; one of his anecdotes:
Toxie was very fond of tallow, and
I had great tro . lie to keep him from
eating up my small stock. He knew
my disposition to guard It as well as 1
knew his to steal it; so it was an on
strife of wits between us. Shortly
after rising one Sunday morning my
eye was caught by his unusual attitude
in the shop, the door of which I bad
thrown open, lie was standing in tlie
middle of the room, with his eyes glar
ing at a lump of tallow lying on my
bench, and glancing from time to time
toward a lamp chimney set on the
table near my bud, where I was dress
iug myself at the moment, though how
the tallow and the chimney stood re
lated to each other in his brain I could
not imagine Accordingly, I watched
him.
'Suddenly he made a spring at the
glass chimney, breaking it into l.ttXJ
pieces, and Instantly, before I could
withdraw my attention from the crash
and ruin, sprung for the lump of tallow
which he seized in his mouth and flew
out of the door, running away at the
highest speed of which his obesity ad
mitted. He had thrown his glass-dust
in my eyes, and while I was getting i'.
out of them had pounded upou my tal
low and made oil with it. The strife
of with was going against ine. Half
dressed as I was 1 immediately gave
chase to the thief, aud by reason of his
corpulence gained on him so fat that
he turned abruptly and bolted into the
cow-stable, which I entered at full run
just in time to see him carefully drop
the fallow frsm his mouth into a pud
die at the edge of which he was stapd
inj, and whence he came up to me
serenely looking the picture , of inno
cence, and wanting to play a? if noth
ing had happened."
The Wind on the Eiffel Tower.
Wind observations at the Eiffel
Tower show that at low velocities of
fifteen injl.es perhour oj Jdsyft'e "veloc
ity of the wind at the top of the tower
if from four to five times as great as at
the top of an ordinary building sixty
nine feet high; but as the velocity in
creases this difference decreases, until
at high velocities the difference is only
as two to one. M. Eiffel assumed the
pressures to be lorty-one pounds per
square foot at the base, increasing to
eighty two pounds per square foot at
the top, which seems to be rather less
difference than the facta called for, al
though a fair approximation, if the
above stated decrease of ratio contin
ues up to maximum wind velocities.

A l'role-sioiiiil Joker.
"The business of a professional joker
is largely mechanical. My ears are
habitually alert to points in conversa
tion that goes on around me which may
afford suggestions," says Bill Nye.
"Then I read the newspapers and keep
a sharp lookout for anything that may
given a queer verbal turn to. As an
example, take a remark I heard this
evening to the effect that fst-and-so
wasn't proud; he went round witn nib
niost8habby acquaintances without ex
hibiting any airs of superiorly.' There
is an idea. It lay in the words 'gong
round.' Ah, yes, of course ' i lie wo, Id
isverydemorBtic;it goes round witu
everyone, in any pnrase mere lies a
jest, if you can twist it properly. I
keep a note book in which i jut uowu
all such suggestions as occur to me, in
the crude, buosequently i work them
out Note making chiefly a matter or
habit The newspaper iester turns
everything upside down, and thus
creates tne unexpected, which is lui
mor. That is the way the funny dia
logues are written. Philip Welch cmu-i
write them when he was dying not be
cause he was in a humorous mood, bin
because his mind was in unsurpassed
mechanical order for such colloquial
construction. Turn an idea wrong side
up and it is a joke, salable at from 5
cents to 61 to the newspapers and
comic periodicals."
It is sometimes interesting to note
how some men carry their accomplish
ments from active life into prison life.
For Instance, at the Easter services in
Sing Siog the artist at the organ was
that perverted citizen, George II. I'tii,
the bank wrecker, whom the New York
authorities so summarily hustled into
prison a few months ago. When the
figure in the big and ill-fitting striped
salt sat down on the organ bench he

is not always easy for a farmer to
determine just what treatment is best
for a sick animal, while educated vet-
e. iiiarians are somen nies in uouui wnat
course to pursue. It is not strange
that farmers who have had no oppor
tunity to study tho symptoms and
treatment of disease are perplexed
when they find that some of their ani
mals are sick. There is one thing,
however, that is always safe and is
often important to do. That is to is
olate the affected animals at once. I f
the disease is contagious it ii a matter
of great moment I fit proves to be
only a simple malady, the removal of
the sick creature from the others can
do no harm, while it wilt give better
opportunities for care and nursing and
will greatly hasten recovery. If the
disease is contagions, prompt removal
may prevent its spread. Oftentimes
whole flocks of sheep or beards of cows
have become diseased, when tho im
mediate removal of the animal first to
be affected would have entirely preven
ted the spread of the disease. In
marked cases of sickness a competent
veterinarian should be called as soon
as possible. Hut the first thing to be
done, w hether the case appears to be
hevere or mild, is to put the sick crea
ture into a stable by itself and make it
as comfortable as possible. American

Beginners generally try the senewal
system of grape pruning, as it is easily
learned. It consists in growing each
year two or more sprouts from near the
crown of the stem and cutting theso
back three or four feet, and then tying
them to the wires. Hut this plan for
the farm brings most os the grapes too
ne:1r the crronnd. where fowls soon
learned to make havoc with thin; ami
once learned they will scarcely leave
any for the ow ner. We have allowed
fowls to run among the grape vines
hroiiffh the season bv permitting no
t - - n - -
grains to si t near the ground. Th
vines were trained to a trellis five feet
high, and most of the grapes hung be
tween four and five feet The grab's
were also, as we thought, better than
those grown lower down, and receiving
less sunlight on their leave.
Every year there are many com

plan to avoid loss in this way is to test
the seed in the house a few weeks be

much will germinate in ojien ground

show clearly the proportion of sml

divided was looked upon more or less
as a Miss Xancy, and he could not hope

ers, nor should we desire it, says the
Ladies II ame Journal. The unreason
ablencss, the extravagances and the ill
usions of youth are part of its charm
ing conditions. Jlut a husband Is to bu
chosen, not alone for the quickly fleet
ing hours of youth; he is to be a friend
and supiorter through the burden and
heat of the day, and a companion for
the long shadow, of the evening of lifn.
Therefore no girl should be allowed to
choose a husband as she would choose
a partner iu a dance, and yet this Is
what many girls are inclined to do.
Mothers ought to supplement by
their own experience the inexperience
and emotions of their daughters, and
to warn them against passions which
bring evil unless guarded and di-ected
to good ends, l or the marriages of
affection, on which we are apt to pride
onrselves are very vlu-n luurrlages of
youthful caprices. Too often love In n
cottage come, in for all the hardships
of a cottage without love.
Cr iflkt Hair.
The hair, like every other portion of
the human frame, If uncared for will
go to waste and eventually drop out.
This is due ta splitting of the ends of
the hair, so that the Interior oil duct
which nourishes the hair, Is exposed
and tbe natural nourishment of th
hair runs to waste, overflows upon Urn
head, forming dandruff which impede
the growth of the hair a much as tho
tare, among wheat Knu-
TIm best means to prevent this is a
strengthening of tbe hair, and this can
easily be accomplished by frequent rut
ting and the use of salt and water and
vaseline. Have you ever noticed what
bushy hair sea-faring men' have? Iid
yon ever tee a bald sailor r It is be
cause their head la in constant contact
with the Invigorating wit ftir, end U
often wet with salt water. A good ton
ic of salt water should contain a tea
poonful of salt to a tumbler of water,
and should be applied to the hair two
or three times a week. Tho effect at
thcendof amofcthirUl be surprUUH.
