Xle.orf Over Pain,
Key. Dr. Talma'', wbo is now near
fng the dose of his globe circling- tour
and will (shortly rea h Anierb an
shorts, selected as the sub ect of
this week's acrition through the press
'Victory Over t ain,'' tua Usxt chosen
being Lev elation xxi, 4, "A either shall
there be tiny more pain."
'I'ho first . uestions that you ask when
about to change your residence to any
city is: "What i the health of the
plaeo? Is it shaken of ternb.e dUor
ders? What are the bi'.lsof n ortality?
What is the death rate' Uow high
rises the thermometer.''- And am I
not reasonable in abking, Whatura tho
sanitary conditions 01 the heavenly
city intohwhieh we till hoj.e to move
My text auswers it by saying, ".Neither
shall there be any more pain."
Fin-t, I reiimrk. there will Iks nop..in
of di.iaiijiointi.ient in Heaven. if I
couiu put the jii lure of w hat you an
ticipated ol li.e when you besr..n it be
side the picture o. what you have
reali.ed, 1 wo Id hid a eroat diiier
n e. i on have stumbled upon greut
d.sanpointmenls. Ivrhaps you ex
1 ected nolle.-,, and you have worked
bar. j enough to gain the . 1 ou hvo
planned ami worried and peroh-.ted
unul your bauds were worn and yo ;r
brain was racked and your heart
tainted, an 1 at. tiie end oi this long
strife with mis. ortune yo.i find .hut if
you have iiot been positt.ely doleatfid
it has been a divwn oattle. it is still
tug and tussie, th.a year lodng what
you gained last, i.uancial uncertainties
pulling dowa fasuir than you build,
for i-orhaps twenty or thirty years
you have been running your craft
straight Into the teeth ol the wind.
Perhaps you have had domestic dis
apjioiutment. i our children, upon
whose education you lavished your
hard earned dollars, have not turned
out as expected. Notwithstanding all
your counsels and praye rs and j.aiiis
talring they wi.l not do right. M ny a
good father has had a bad boy.
Absalom trod on David's heart. That
mother never imagined all this as
twenty or thirty years ago she sat by
that child's craule.
ho Moro lilunted Hope.
Vour life has been a chapter of &-
appointments-, out come with me, and
J will show you a (liferent scone. By
God's grace, entering tt.o other city
you will never again have a planted
hope. The most jubilant o. o.o ta
tionswill not reach the realisation.
Coining to the top of one hill of oy,
there will bo other heights rising up
on tho vision. This song of transport
will but ait you to higher anthems,
the s.O-itest choral but a prelude to
moro tremendous harmony, nil things
bettor ttn.n you had anticipated the
robe richer, the crown brighter, tiie
temple gran ier the throng mighter.
Further, 1 remark, there wi'l no no
pain of weariness. Jt may lie many
hours since you quit worn, but many of
you are univrlcd. some from overwork,
and some from dullness of tialo, tiie
:utter more exhausting tiian the
former. Vour ankles a. -lie; your
spirits i'.ag; you want rest. Are t lic.o
w.,eels to l .rn. theso shuU.es
to fly, t!ie- a es to hew, ue.is shovels
to uei.e, tii'jRO ens to liy, t bests looks
to bo posted, these goods to ! 0 Hold?
All, the great ho.iday iipproa lies!
No moro uicse of taskmasters, no more
stooping until the ba k aches no more
calciilat ou until tlio brain is bewil-
dered, no more pain, no more carpeti- i
try, for the mansions are all built, no !
more masonry, lor the walls are all !
reared; no more diamond cuttintr, lor j
the gems are all set no more gold '
beating, lor the crowns are ail com- j
heled. no more agriculture, for the !
harvests are spontaneous. I
Further, there will no no more pain
or poverty. Jt is a hard thing to be j
really jioor, to have your coat we.ir .
out and no money to get another,
;o have your 1'our barrel empty and
nothing to buy bread with for your
children, to live in an unhealthy row,
and no mean-, to change your halnta
t.on, to have your child sick with some
mysterious disease and not be able to
so'eure eminent medical ability, to have
son or daughter begin the world and
you not have anything to help them m
starting, with a mind capable of re
search and high contemplation to be
perpetually li od on questions ot mere
livelihood.
I octs try to throw a romance about
the poor man's cot, but there is no
romance alxiut it. l'overty Is hard,
cruel, unrelenting. But Lazarus waked
up without his rajfs and his diseases,
and so all of CJhr.st's poor wake up at
last without any oi their diadi aritages
no almshouses, for they are all
jiriiieos; no rents to ) ay, for tho resi
dence is gratuitous, no garments to
buy, for tho rob -H are divinely fash
ioned no soatsin churvh for Jioor folks,
but equality among tomple worshl. ers;
no hovels no hard crusts no insu tl
c ent apparel. "They shall hunger no
more, neither thlrBt any moro, neither
shall the sun light on them nor any
heat." No moro jiain.
Mo i"iiruw!t.
Further, there will bo no jiain o!
jiarting. All these associations must
some time break i p. We eiasp hands
and wills together and talk and lauph
and weep together, out wo must after
awhile separate. Your grave will be
in one piaco, mine in another. We
look each other lull in tho face for the
laat time. We will bo Bitting together
some evening or walking together
some dy, and nothing will be unusual
lit our appearance or our conversation,
b it God known that it in the laat time,
and messenger from eternity on their
errand to take on away know it ! the
aat tln.e. fttid in Heaven, where they
make ready for our departing spirits,
. they know it is the last time.
Oh, the long agony of earthly sepa
ration! It is awful to stand in your
nursery fighting death back from the
; couch of your child and try to hold faut
I the little one and see a'l the time that
j he is gett ng weaker and the breath
i is shorter, and make ou'ery to God to
help us and to the doctors to save him
and see it is of no avai', and then to
i know that his spirit is gone, and that
you have nothing left out the casket
that held the jewel, and that in two or
thi'ne rijivs von must even out that
; away and walk around about the house
and lmd it desolate, sometimes iceim
rebellious, and then to resolve to feel
diffe.ently, and to resolve on self con
trol, and just as you have come to what
you think is perfect self co .trol to sud
denly con e uion some little coat or
picture or shoe half worn out. and how
all the floods of the soul burst in one
wild wail of agonv! Oh, my God, how
hard it is to part, to close the eyes that
never can look merry at our coming,
to kiss the hand that will never again
do us a kindness! I know religion
gives great consolation in sucn an hour,
and we ought to be comforted, but any
how and anyway you make it, it is aw
ful. On stearaljoat wharf and at rail car
window we may smile .when we say j
iarewell, but these good by 8 at the i
deatn bed, they just taue hold of the1
heart with iron pinchers and tear it
out by the roots until alt tne fibers
quiver und curl in the torture and drop
thick blood. These separations are
wine presses into whi h our hearts,
like red clusters, are thrown and then
trouble turns the windlass round and
round ntii we are utterly crushed and
have no more capacity to suiter, and
we stop crying because wo ba.e wept
all our tears.
On every street, at every doorstep,
by every couch, thero have been jiart
ings. But once past tho Heavenly por
ta, s, and you are through with such
scenes .orever. in that land there are
many hand claspings and embracings,
but only in recognition. Th t great
homo circle never breakB. Once find
your comra ics there, and you have
. them forever. No crape floats from
the door of that blissful residence. No
cleft hillside where the dead sleep. All
awake, wide uwake, and forever. No
pushing out of emigrant ship for fore
ign shore. No to ling of bell as the
lunoral passes. Whole generations in
glory. Hand to hand, heart to heart,
joy to joy. No creeping up the limbs
of the death chill, the feet cold until
hot llannels cannot warm them. No
rattle of sepulchral gates. No parting,
no pain.
Tiinr. I No Pin la Heaven.
Further Se hea':omy city will have
tso pain of iiody. The race Is pierced
with sharp distresses. The surgeon's
knife must cut. The dentist's pinchers
must pull. I'ain is fought with pain.
The world is a hospital, i-icorcs of dis
eases, like vultures contending for a
carcass, struggles as to which shall
havo it. Our natures are infinitely sus
ceptible to suffering. The eye, tho
foot, the hand, with immense capat-ity
. of anguish.

Thank God! Thank God! No mala ias
float in the air. Nobruised foot treats
that street. No weary arm. No pain
ful respiration. No hectic flush. No
one can drink of that healthy fountain
and keep faint hearte i or faint headed.
He whose foot touches that pavement
becometh an athlete. The first kiss of
that summer air will take the wrinkles
' trom the old man s cheek. Amid the
multitude of songsters not one diseased
throat. The lirst liash of the throne
, will scatter the darkness of those who
i were born blind. See. the lame man

j Why, that one had his jaw shot oil at

back broken by a fall from the ship s

i the hospital. No more pain,
j Sure enough, here is ltobert Hall
who never before saw a well day, and
, Edward Payson, whose body was ever
born of distre-s, and Kichard Baxter,
i who jiassed through untold physical
'. torture. All well." No more pain.
Here, too, are the Theban legion, a
great host of ii,'ii put to the sword for
Christ's sake. No distortion on their
countenance. No lires to hurt them,
or Hoods to drown them, or racks to
tear them. AH well. Hero are the
Scotch Covenanters, none to hunt them
now. Tho dark cave and imprecations
of Lord Cla erhouso exchanged for
temple service, and the presence of
him who helped Hugh Latimer out of
the tire. All well. No more pain.

bar Makes Hailstones?
The formation of hail through
electrical action, according to the
new theory of .signor Minatitairii, Is a
very interesting, and even "wonderful,
p ocess. The wind draws out a. cloud
tnti) a long, narrow strip. In that
form, owing to the great amount of
surface exposed to the air, the cloud
evaporates very vapidly, and rapid
evaporation produ es intense cold.
1 rv particies of snow are then
! formed, and the.-e, by friction with
the water-drops, quickiy become
charged with negative electricity.
But the water drops themselves carry
positive electricity, and since nega
tive attracts positive, a lllm of water
is fo med upo i each snow-iutrtu le
and is instantly fro en into a layer of
ice.
At this thickness its outer surface
remains moist, th ' water not freezing
so rapidly t ere, whereupon the elec
trical cliartre changes from negative
to positive, and the particle is re
Iicllcd by the waterdrojw and driv n
to the outer parts of the c oud. Here
the increased cold covers It with
snow again, and friction charges it
anew with neiratlve electricity.
Impulsion is now once more changed
for attraction, and the particle rushes
hack Into the cloud, receiving upon
its urface another 111 in of water
is turned into a second ice-layer.
Thus the growing hailstone dar'.s
zigng through the cloud, piling up
its alternate layers of snow and lee
until gravitation gains control and
sends it, with a jingling crowd of its
fellows, siiinnlng to the ground. -
Tiie Deep, Deep Sea.
It is a remarkable fact that the
deepest i arts of the sea are in all
(ases ery near the land. The deep
est sounding known, 4,005 fathoms,
or t, , 0 feet, was obtained 1 10 miles
fiom the kurile Islands; the next
deepest, 4, Mil tathoms, was found
se enty miles north of Porto Hlco.
With a few exceptions like these the
depth of tho ocean as tar as now
known does not reach ,0' 0 fathoms,
or four sea miles. The North la
cillc has a mean depth of 2,5oo fath
oms, the South Pacific of 2,4! 0, tne
Indian Ocean of 2,1.00, and tho At
lantic, by far the best Investigated
ocean, has a mean depth of 2,200
fathoms. i"

FORGOT lO BUY THE DOOR.
Sc th rareha r Had ta Pat Up
Hon to CompU f th. tula.
"It is not often that a man ne
fleci.s to buy , the front entrance
when he bu.i himself a home." said
ex Judiie iilttenhoeferto a e.w York
reporter, "but this is precisely what a
friend of mine did ind he paid
dearly for that front door when he
did acqu re it. I was in my office one
afternoon, when my friend B. came
in, and after the exchange ot the
compliments of the day he remarked:
'Judge, I've bought me a new home
out on West One Hundred and
Twenty-third street '
" 'That's good,' I replied. 'Did
you get a bargain?'
" 'Ob, pretty fair! At least I
thought I had; but I'm not so sure
now. I can't get in the iront door.'
' 'What do you mean?'
" The man 1 bought I ora refuses
to give me the key to the front door,
and I can get in and out only by the
pavk way.'
" -What reason does he give for
acting in that manner?'
'lie says I didn't buy the front of
the house, and he is going to let me
in that way.'
" 'Have you got your deed all
right?' 1 asked.
" Oh, yes! Th:;t's all right'
"Well, you bring it down tomor
row and let uie look it over.'
"The next morning B. appeared
with the deed which to a casual
glance appeared to be in correct
form. I'.ut on examiu.ng the de
scription of the projierty by nieies
and bounds I discovered a curious
omission. The j.oiot of beginning
was at the juncture of the street line
and westerly boundary line, running
thence to the north boundary and
then to the street, and stopped
there, hence the frontage, or case
ment, not being described, was not
conveyed. And thus, while B. was
the legal owner of the rest of tne
house, the frontage was technically
the property of the other fellow, and
he had a right to carry the latch
key, smoke his pijie on the front
stoop and put on all the airs of mas
ter of the house, while B. could only
sneak in through the back door.
Whether the omission was inten-
t'onal or not was Impossible to find
out But it was quickly tua:e piain
that the owner of the front stoop
meant to"jrou t oy me ac. lueFit, If"
ac ideDt it was. On Interviewing
him he calmly remarked that tho
frontage was his and he nidnt to
ch'im ;t. Being threatened wtb a
su.t and ths assu ante that a court
of equity would compel the correction
of the deed, he replied, 'Fire away!'
Finally, rather than to have the
property tied up in the courts pos
s. bly for two years, 1 advi.-ed B. to
compromise the matt r if he could,
and by the payment of $500 he ac
quired undoubted right to the latch
key of his own front door."
1 he Muling Passion.
The ruling passion gets away with
woman every time. At a t heatre the
other night a lady appeared si ddenly
at the bo . otllce and asked the man
ager for an admlssioD ticket.
"Don't you wish a seat.-" the ticket
seller asked. "We have a few good
seats in the balcony."
T haven't tnu.: to sit clown," said
the lady. "My husband is waiting
lor uin outside, and be.-i .es 1 have
seen the play already."
The ticket seller didn't know what
to say to this.
"1 only want to go in for a few
minutes," the fair visitor continued.
T saw a lady pass in a moment ago,
ami i-be was so elegantly dressed that
1 want to have a good look at her
and see exactly what she has on.
That's all.
The manager, to whom this ex-
planation was made, escorted the
dress-fascinated woman into the
auditorium, and she went around to
a side aisle and made a thorough ob
servation of what the ultra-fashionable
daine "had on."
"O, it was perlectly lovely!" she
exclaimed as she joined her husband
at the door.
Mr. Choate's One Letter.
Joseph II. Choate is a man of im
posing mien and authoritative dis
course. Some years ago a young kinsman of
Mr. Choate arrived ic New Vork,
armed with a letter of Introduction
to the eminent lawyer.
After reading the letter Mr.
Choate turned to the young man and
said:
"Well, s r! What other letters
have you?"
The young man named half a dozen
men of more or less standing to whom
be brought introductions.
"Ah, young man," said the lawyer,
with a reminiscent look in his eyes,
'you a e far better p ovided with
recommendations than I was when I
came to ew York, at your age, to
seek my fortune. "
"Yes?" said the young man inquir

introduce me into the great me
