The Trans-Siberian railroad will ba completed at the present rate of work ing In about two years, the cost prob ably considerably exceeding the orig inal estimate of 175.600,000. Twenty-nine historic spots In Port land, Me., are to be marked with tab lets prior to the return of the absent sons and daughters In Old Home week. They Include several noted In pre Revolutlonary days, the birthplaces of Henry Wadsworth, Longfellow, Thom as B. Reed, Nathaniel Parker Willis; his sister, Mrs. James Parton ("Fanny Fern”), Alexander S. Wadsworth and Sargent S. Prentiss. Siberia has recently furnished a new game-bird for the epicures of Europe. It is railed the Siberian partridge, and la found In the mountains south of Omsk in southern Siberia, but Its or iginal home Is said to be Manchuria. Ita principal food consists of wild nuts, which gives an exquisite iVavoi to ita flesh. These birds, which have begun to appear by thousands In the markets of London, are shot during the winter and forwarded to England by way of the Baltic sea. fn France, Monsieur Dufour has suc ceeded In making thermometer tubes of pure quartz. Not only are these tubes exceedingly transparent, but their resistance to heat and other ad vantages make them superior to glass for thermometers Intended to measure high temperatures. In such thermom etere, melted tin takes the place of mercury, and the scale reads from about 465 degrees Fahrenheit up over 1,000 degrees. It could be run up to 1,800 degrees, for quartz docs not soften below that temperature. The largest time ball In the United States is being erected on the roof of the Fourth street end of the bourse In Philadelphia, the task being under the supervision of Lieutenant Hughes. The ball, which Is four feet in diame ter and weighs 60 pounds, will be hoisted to the top of an iron column 100 feet above tidewater five minutes before noon each day and dropped electrically 40 feet to an air-cushlos exactly at noon by the naval observa tory clock in Washington. The object of the lime ball Is to enable all the mariners In Delaware and Schuylkill rivers to regulate their chronometer* before sailing. An explanation has been given, la the house of commons, of the reasoc why American capitalists were al lowed to lake a large slice of the new British loan. The war had greatly de pleted the stock of gold In the uank of England. Meanwhile there was a great abundance of gold In this coun try. The result of disposing of a part of the loan here was to draw gold to London. It Is all simple enough; but the fact remains that It ts only very intely that this countrj was rich enough to take foreign Lana. Perhaps the most significant feature of the af fair is that capital at Interest now earns so little that the possessors of it are content with 3 per cent if the security be unimpeachable. The widespread impression that peo ple living in a primitive condition pos sess more acute vision than civilized men enjoy, receives a little support from the investigations of Dr. Rivers during the recent British expedition to Torres Straits and New Guinea. The visual powers of the people there were found to be superior to those of nor mal Europeans, although the degree of superiority was not great. The na tives of Torres Straits could see better in the dark than most Europeans can Their sense of touch was alio slightly superior, and In the discrimination of weight they were more accurate than a practised European. Dr. Rivers as cribes their acuteness of vision to iiielr habits of constant observation.

DISCOURSES ON THE REDEMP TION OF THE RACE. A Topic Suggested by tho f amous Taint ing* of Munich—Types of Humanity Represented by the Two Malefactors —A l’lunge Into Uarkucse. (Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsch.) The famous paintings in the picture jallerles of Munich seem to have sug jested the topic of this discourse,which Dr. Talmage sends from the quaint Ba varian town, but the theme which in spired the painters awakens in the great preacher thoughts of the redemp tion of the human race, which was the supreme design of that scene of suffer ing and derth. The text is Luke xxlll, 33, “There they crucified him and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left." Just outside of Jerusalem Is a swell of ground, toward which a crowd are ascending, for It Is the day of execu tion. What a mighty assemblage! Some for curiosity to hear what the malefactora will say and to see how they will act. The three persons to be executed are already there. Some of the spectators are vile of lip and bloat ed of cheek. Some look up with re vonge, hardly able to keep their sands off the sufferers. Some tear their own hair In a frenzy of grief. Some stand In silent horror. Some break out Into uncontrollable weeping. Some clap their hands in delight that the offend ers are to be punched at last. The soldiers, with drawn swords,drive back the mob which presses on so hard. There is fear that the proceedings may be interrupted. Let the legion, now stationed at Jerusalem, on horseback dash along the line and force back the surging multitude. “Back with you!” is the cry. “Have you never before seen a man die?" Three crosses in a row—an upright piece and two transverse pieces, one on the top, on which the hands are nailed, and one at the middle, on which the victim sat. Three trees Just planted, : yet bearing fruit—the one at the right bearing poison and the one at the left ! bitter aloes, the one in the middle ap- j pies of love. Norway pine and tropical orange and Lebanon cedar would not make so strange u grove as this orch- | »rd of Calvary. Stand and give a look 1 »t the three crosses. Just look at the cross on the right Its victim dies scoffing. More awful than his physical anguish Is his sc orn and hatred of him on the middle cross. This wretched man turns half around on the spikes to hiss at the One in the middle. If the scoffer could get one i hand loose and he were within reach, he would smite the middle sufferer In the face. He hates him with a perfect hatred. I think he wishes he were down on the ground that he might spear him. He envies the mechanics who with their nails have nailed him fast. Amid the settling darkness and louder than the crash of the rocks hear him Jeer out these words: “Ah, you poor wretch! I knew you were an I impostor! You pretended to be a Hod. and yet you let these legions master you!” It was in some such hate that Voltaire in his death hour, because he thought he saw Christ In his bedroom, got up on his elbow and cried out. "Crush that wretch!” What had the middle cross done to arouse up this right hand cross? Nothing. Oh, the enmity of the natural heart against Christ! The world likes a sentimental Christ or a philanthropic Christ, but a Christ who comes to snatch men away from their sins—away with him! On his right hand cross today I sea typified the unbelief of the world. Men say, “Back with him from the heart! I will not let him take my sins. If be will die, let him die for himself, , not for me.” There has always been a war between this right hand cross and ' the middle cross, aud wherever there is an unbelieving heart there the fight ! goes on. Oh, If when that dying male | factor perished the faithlessness of I man had perished, then that tree which I yields poison would have budded and blossomed with life for all the I world! .% I'Iiiiirp Into Iturkupmi, Look up into that disturbed counte nance of the sufferer and see what a ghastly thing it is to reject Christ Up hold In that awful face, in that pitiful look, In that unblessed death hour, the stings of the slnuer's departure What a plunge into darkness' Standing high upon the cross on the top of the hill, so that all tlie world may look at him, i he says, "Here 1 go out of a miserable life Into a wretched eternity!" One' I Two! Three! Listen to the «rash of j the fall, all ye ages! So Hobbes, dying after he hud 70 years In which to pre pare for eternity, said, "Were I master I of all the world, I would slve It all to live It one day longer,” Sir Frances Newport, hovering over the brink,* rb-d out "Wretch that 1 am, whither shall I By from this breast’ What will be eoat* of me* Oh. that I were to lie ' upon the fire that never U quenched a thou and years to purchase the favor of Ood, and to la* reconciled to hint again!

But after Christ has stood almost 19 cen turies. working the wonders of his grace, you reject him. That right hand cross, with its long beam, overshadows all the earth. It is planted in the heart of the race. When will the time come when the spirit of God shall, with its ax. hew down that right hand cross until it shall fall at the foot of that middle cross, and un belief. t,he railing malefactor of the world, shall perish from all our hearts? Away from me, thou spirit of unbelief! j I hate thee! With this sword of God I thrust thee back and thrust thee through. Down to hell; down, most accursed monster of the earth, and talk to those thou hast already damn ed! Talk no longer to these sons of God, these heirs of heaven. "If thou be the 8on of God.” Was there any "If" about it? Tell me, thou star, that In robe of light did run to point out his birthplace. Tell me, thou sea, that didst put thy hand over thy lip when he bade thee be still. Tell me, ye dead who got up to see him die. Tell me, thou sun In midheaven, who for him didst pull down over thy face thy veil of darkness. Tell me, ye lepers who were cleansed, ye dead who were raised. Is he the Son of God? j Aye, aye. responds the universe. The flowers breathe It; the stars chime ( It; the redeemed celebrate It; the an- I gels rise on their thrones to announce ' it. And yet on that miserable male- ; factor's "If" how many shall be wreck- : ed for all eternity! That little "If” has enough venom In Its sting to cause the ; death of the soul. No “If" about It. I 1 know it. Ecee Dens! I feel It thor- i oughly—through every muscle of the body, and through every faculty of my mind, and through every energy of my soul. Living. I will preach it; dying. ! I will pillow my head upon its eonso- ! lation8—Jesus the God. Away, then, from this right hand cross. The red berries of the forest are apt to be poisonous, and around this tree of carnage grow the red, pois onous berries of which many have tast ed and died. I can s«* no use for this right hand cross, except It li iispd as a lever with which to upturn the unbe lief of the world. Tin* r«nllf*nt Uiilpfartop, Here from-the right hand cross I go to the left hand cross. Pass clear to the other side The victim also twists himself upon the nails to look at the center cross, yet not to scoff. It Is to worship. He. too, would like to get bi3 hand loose, not to smite, hut to de liver the sufferer of the middle cross. He cries to the railer cursing on the other side: “Silence! Between us is innocence in agony. We suffer for our crimes. Silence!” Gather round this left hand cross, O ye people! He not afraid. Hitter herbs are sometimes a tonic for the body, and the bitter aloes that grow on this tree shall give strength and life to thy soul. This left hand cross is a repenting cross. As men who have been nearly drowned tell us that in one moment, while they were under the water, their whole life passed before them, so I suppose in one moment the dying malefactor thought over ail his past life—of that night when he went into an unguarded door and took all the silver, the gold, the jewels, and as the sleeper stirred he put a knife through his heart; of that day when, in the lonely pass, he met the wayfarer, and, regardless of the cries and prayers and tears and struggles of his victim, he flung the mangled corpse into the dust of the highway or heaped upon it the stones. He says, ”1 am a guilty wretch. I deserve this.' There is no need of my cursing. That will not stop the pain. There is no need of blaspheming Christ, for he has done me no wrong And yet I cannot die so. The tortures of my body are undone by the tortures of my soul. The past is a scene of mis doing. the present a crucifixion, the future ».n everlasting undoing. Come back, thou hiding midday sun! Kiss my check with one bright lay of com fort. What, no help from above—no help from beneath? Then I must turn to my companion in sorrow, the One on the middle cross. 1 have heard that he knows how to help a man when he is in trouble. I have heard that he can cure me wounueri. i nave tiMri that he can pardon the sinner. Surely in all his wanderings up and down the | enrth he never saw one more in need 1 of Ills forgiveness. Blessed One, I turn to thee. Wilt thou turn for the* moment away from thy own pangs to pity me? Lord, It is not to have my hands reliev ed or my feet taken from the torture I can stand all this hut, oh, my j sins, nty sins, my sins’ They pierce me through and through. They tell me i must die forever. They will push me out Into the darkness unless thou wilt help me I confess It all.

You say. “1 don’t feel myself to be a sinner.” That may be. Walk along by the cliffs, and you see sunlight and flowers at the mouth of the cave, but take a torch and go in, and before you have gone far you sen the flashing eye of a wild beast or hear the hiss of a serpent. So the heart seems in the sunlight of worldliness. But as I wave the torch of God's truth and go down Into the deep cavern of the heart, alas, for the brlstllug horrors and the rat tling fangs! Have you ever noticed the climax of this passage of Scripture: "The heart is deceitful." That seems enough. But the passage goes on and says, "The heart Is deceitful above all things.” Will you not say that is enough? But the passage goes on fur ther and says, “The heart Is deceitful above all thingB and desperately wicked!” If we could sec the true condition of the unpardoned before God, what wringing of hands there would be! What a thousand voiced shriek of supplication and despair! But you are a sinner, a sinner. 1 speak not to the person who sits next you, but to you. You are a sinner. Ail the transgressions of a life time have been gathered up into an avalanche. At any moment It may slip from the clifTs nnd crush you forever. May the liord Almighty, by his grace, help us to repent of our sins while repentance Is possible. This left hand cross was a believing cross. There was no guesswork in that prayer.no 'If” in that supplication. The left hand cro3s flung Itself at the foot of the middle cross, expecting mercy. Faith Is only Just opening the hand to take what Christ offers us. The work is ull done; the bridge is built strong enough for u.s all to walk over. Tap not at the door of God's mercy with the tip of your Angers, but as a warrior with gauntleted fists beats at the cas tle gate. So with all the aroused en ergies of our souls let us pound at the gate of heaven. That gate la locked. You go to It with a bunch of keys. You try philosophy. That will not open It. A large door generally has a ponderous key. I take the cross and place the foot of it In the lock, and by the two arms of the cross I turn the lock, and the door opens. Forthwith the left hand cross be> comes the abode of contentment. The pillow of the malefactor, soaked lu blood, becomes like the crimson uphol ster of a king's couch. When the body became still and the surgeons feeling the pulse said one to another. "He Is dead.” the last mark of pain bad gone from his fa e. Peace had smoothed his forehead. Peace closed his eyes. Peace closed his lips. Now you see why there were two transverse pieces on the cross, for it has become a ladder Into the skies. That dying head is easy which has under It the promise, “This day thou shalt be' with me in para dise.” Ye whose lips have been filled with blasphemy, ye whose hands for many years have wrought unright eousness, ye who have companioned with the unclean, ye who have scaled every height of transgression and fathomed every depth and passed ev ery extreme of iniquity—mercy .mercy! “The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day, And there may I, though vile as he. Wash all my sins away.” New I'oslal l.aw In Hawaii* Word was received at the po.stolflce yesterday says the Chicago Inter-Ocean that Hawaii, as a territory of the United States, has become subject to the postal laws ami regulations of this country.

Thus the Hervant Is ready for action, prepared for whatever duty Is re quired of him, at a moment's notice. "And your lights burning." 3K. “Like unto men that wait for their lord." “The faithful believer Is described ns a servant watting over night for the arrival of his muster, who Is returning from a Journey. That there may be no delay In opening the door when he shall knock, he keeps himself awake, up and leady to run. 37. “Blessed are those servants.” Be cause they have done their duty, their conscience Is at ease, their Master Is pleased and will give them a special blessing. “Shall hnd watching." The watcher Is ever on guard, like the look out on a ship or the outposts of an army. “Me shall gird himself, and make them to stt down to meat,” “The ttgure used to express the high blessedness of those found watching, that the Lord will gird himself and wait upon them, Is very sur prising one, and must betoken an honor and blessedness beyond all thought.”— Sadler. 88. "Second . . . or . . . third watch.” Always watching, whether It he early or late. "The watch was a military division of the night, covering the hours occupied by each of the four relays of guards stationed from 6 p. m. to 6 u. m." — American Commentary. Sometimes the I-ord seems to delay his coming, but the faithful ones watch to the very end. 39. "If the goodmun." The master, the owner. "Had known (In) what hour the thief mould come, be would liuve match ed.” "In the East, which knows not the happy and secure municipal arrangements of Western lands, every one must be his own policeman. "And not have suffered.” Permitted. He took the ordinary precau tions of bars and liolts Hut bo should have done more. "To be broken through." Literully It Is to he dug through, a graphic word, appropriate to describe the action that would be required to get Into a house whose walls consisted In a great measure of mud. 40. "Bo ye therefore ready also.” Watch not one night, but all the time, As u rope or a wall of defence Is not as strong as Its weakest part, so watching Is effec tive only when It Is persistent and con tinuous. "The Son of mail cometh at an hour when ye think not." "For your selves know perfectly thul the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." 41. "Then Peter said." He wished to know tf this great duty belonged only to tli* leaders, or to all: and could all. or . illy the Hpostles, have the glorious prom ise of v. 27? How wide was the duty and the reward? 42. "And tho Lord said.” Applying the duty and promise to all, as in Mark 13: 87. "Who then Is that faithful and wise steward.” “That faithful steward and wise man," wise not only in his steward ship, hut as a man. "Shull make ruler over his household." While he himself went abroad. This power mas conferred on account of previous faithfulness and ability—referring to the apostles, to min isters, who are over the household of God, and In their sphere to all Christians, for they have much committed to their charge, far more than many realize. "To give them their portion of meat." "A measured portion of food, a ration.” 43. "Blessed." He possesses all Hie Beatitudes. "Shall find so doing." We see by this illustration of Christ what be means by matching; not gazing up into the heaven for signs, hut faithful pi r formance of duty, as If God himself were ever present, with hope und Joy In the thought of his coming. 44. "Will make him ruler (or set him) over all that he hath,” Over all Ills prop erty of every kind, and not simply over his body of domestic*. (Compare Mutt. 25: 21; Luke 19: 17, 26). 43. "Hoy In his heart.” Because he would he ashamed to say It openly; It would shock him. "My Lord deluyeth Ids coming." So that the time of reckoning Is far away; nor mill he ever know of the evil doings of Ills servant, and the serv ant will have time to put all in order again. "But the menservants." Like a petty tyrant over those who are faithful, and because they are faithful. Eat and drink, and to be drunken.” "The two forms of sin most common to those In high places are oppression und self-in dulgence."—Abbott. 46. "Come . . . when he looketh not for him.” The Igird knows all that Is being done, and at the right time will come suddenly, not only In his great sec ond coming, hut In all forms of his com ing. The Episcopal liturgy contains a prayer for deliverance "from sudden death"; but it Is explained as meaning "death for which we are unprepared." "Appoint hitn Ills portion with the unbe lievers." The unfaithful to their trusts. Matthew says, with the hypocrites. Tin Drummer llie* Arrived.

The first man to arrive under the new conditions was a Chi. ago s tup ami perfume man. who gave the Hawaiian hotel clerk quite a shock. He landed from the steamer In all the glory that characterizes an up-to-date traveling man and headed for the hostelry. Ar riving there, one of his first requests was to be shown the "sample room." Hut there wasn't any. Honolulu has uever achieved the distinction of hav ing one. In American cities the big hotels have to huve a sample room, where the drummers may keep their big stock of samples, but while Hawaii had a tax of ffiOO on every one who tried to sell good* there no sample room was needed.
