A new apartment house in course of
erection on West End avenue and
Seventy-ninth street. New York, will :
hcve attached to it automobile sta- |

The new battleship Maine, building
at Cramps’ shipyard in Philadelphia,
is more than one-third completed. It
is expected that she will be launched
on Feb. 15 of next year, the third an
niversary of the destruction of the ori
ginal Maine in Havana harbor. On.
Feb. 15, 1888, during a driving bliz
zard, were laid the first keelplates of
the new battleship.

The next Pan-American conference
will be held in the City of Mexico on
Oct. 22 next, by an Invitation of the
Mexican government, which has be n

Kipling’s advice to England “not to
hustle the East" applies to home re
formers. Some months ago a New
England society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals sent to Porto Rico j
a large number of circulars. A special 1
paragraph referred to the cruelty of
using a frosty bit in horses’ mouths,
and advised warming it carefully. In
asmuch as most of the people had
newer seen Ice, the advice was some
what misplaced.
Dr. Thomas Wilson, speaking at the
recent meeting of the American Asso
ciation for the Advancement of Science,
argued that the celebrated theory of
Lombroso, associating certain types of
crime with definite physical charac
ters, was based upon untrustworthy
statistics. Doctor Wilson thought It
would be more correct to say that
crime determines the physical struc
ture than vice versa, and that en
vironment is more responsible for
crime than Is hereditary oharacter.
The Canadian government surveyor
who was commissioned by the gov
ernment to locate the stakes defining
the boundary line in the Mount Baker
district for 100 miles from Sumas,
Washington, toward the coast, and
thus settle all disputes, makes the re
markable statement to the govern
ment that he could find no stakes any
where to denote that a survey of the
boundary was ever made. Thi3 bears
out the stories told by old-timers in
the Yale district to the efTect that
when the joint international survey
commitee was sent to define the bound
ary it was appalled at the high moun
tains, deep cliffs and dense forests
fringing the 49th parallel and agreed
to report the survey as having been
made without actually making it.
A regimental physician in the
French aimv has investigated the ef
fect upon soldiers of regular marching
in disciplined bodies. The uniformity
of the soldier’s step causes the indef
inite repetition of a shock of the brain
and bones, and consequently the mode
of motion is far more deleterious than
an irregular walk. He attributes the
peculiar aches and pains or the men to
the fact that the same parts of the
body receive the series of shocks.
What does the doctor suggest by way
of relief? Experiments haveshown that
his plan is efficacious. The device is
simple: A rubber heel for all military
boots. The brain-jar and other un
favorable sensations are so diminished
as to give the infantrymen a new lease
of activity. The relative efficiency of
the army may thus be increased by
what might be considered an unimpor
tant change. The scale might be
turned in a long and close contest in
favor of the rubber-heeled men, and
the map of Europe altered.
South America, in strictest accuracy,
should have been named "Southeast
ern America,” it lies so far east of the
northern continent. The southern half
of the west coast of South America is
on nearly the same meridian as New
York. This eastern position of the
southern continent has an important
relation to modern commerce. It
greatly benefits English merchantmen
who are in competition with our own
for South American trade. Our ships
have to go half way to Europe to get
Mo Rio de Janeiro.
TALM AGE'S SERMON.
SPEAKS ON ONE OF THE CHIEF
CHRISTIAN VIRTUES.
tb. Retd of Grace In the Affair, o
Itniljr Life—Turn. 1)1. cord Into llarf
stony — Final Reward of Fatlence—
Cauttes of I’esalmiitu.
(Copyright, 1900, Louis Klopsch. N. Y.)
Vv iiaumgton, Dec. 2.—This uiscourse
of Dr. Talmage is a full length portrait
of ,i virtue which all admire, and the
lessens taught are very helpful; text,
Hebrews x, 36, “Ye have need of pa
tience.”
Yes, we are in awful need of it. Some
of us have a little of it, and some of
us have none at all. There is less of
this grace in the w’orld than of almost
! any other. Faith, hope and charity
| are all abloom In hundreds of souls
' where you find one specimen of pa
tience. Paul, the author of the text,
on a conspicuous occasion lost his
patience with a co-worker, and from
the way he urges this virtue upon the
Hebrews, upon the Corinthians, upon
the Theesalonians, upon the Romans,
upon the Colossians, upon the young
theological student Timothy, I con
clude he was speaking out of his own
need of more of this excellence. And
I only wonder that Paul had any
nerves left. Imprisonment, flagella
tion, Mediterranean cyclone, arrest for
treason and conspiracy, the wear and
tear of preaching to angry mobs, those
at the door of a theater and those on
the rocks of Mars hill, left him ema
ciated and invalid and with a broken
voice and sore eyes and nerves a-jan
gle. He gives us a snap-shot of him
self when he describes his appearance
and his sermonic delivery by saying,
“In bodily presence weak and in
speech contemptible," and refers to his
inflamed eyelids when speaking of the
ardent friendship of the Galatians he
says, "If it had been possible, ye
would have plucked out your own eyes
and have given them to me.”
Patience Under
Some of the people ordinarily most
excellent have a deficit in this respect.
That man who is the impersonation of
amiability, hi3 mouth full of soft
words and his face a spring morning,
if a passing wheel splash the mud
across his broadcloth, see how he col
ors up, and hear him denounce the
passing Jehu. The Christian woman,
an angel of suavity, now that some so
cial slight is put upon her or her fam
ily, hear how her utterances increase
intensity. One of the ablest and best
ministers of the gospel in America,
stopping at a hotel in a town where he
had an evening engagement, was in
terrupted in his afternoon nap by a
knock at the door by a minister who
had come to welcome him, and after
the second and third knock the sleeper
opened the door and took the invader
of his repose by the collar and twisted
it with a force that, if continued,
would have been strangulation. Oh,
it is easy enough to be patient when I
there is nothing to be patient about, j
When the bank account is good and in !
no danger of being overdrawn, and
the wardrobe is crowded with apparel
appropriate for the cold, or the heat,
or the wet, and all the family have at
tested their health by keen appetites at |
a loaded table, and the newspapers, if j
they mention us at all, put right con
struction upon what we do or say, and |
we can walk ten miles without getting '
tired, and we sleep eight solid hours
without turning from side to side,
the most useless grace I can think of
is patience. It has no business any
where in your house, you have no
more need of it than a life preserver
while you are walking the pavement
of a city, no more need of it than an
umbrella under a cloudless sky, no
more need of it than of Sir Humphry
Davy's safety lamp for miners while
you are breathing the tonic air of an
October morning.
( auiM of Pessimism.
Now you understand how people can !
become pessimistic and cynical and i
despairful. You have reached that !
stage yourself. Now you need some- ;
thing that you have not. But I know j
of a re-enforcement that you can have
if you will accept It. Yonder comes up !
the road or the sidewalk a messenger
of God. Her attire is unpretending.
She has no wings, for she is not an
angel, but there is something in her I
countenance that Implies rescue and j
deliverance. She comes up the steps j
that once were populous with the af
fluent and into the hallway where the |
tapestry Is getting faded and frayed,
the place now all empty of worldly ad- ;
mirers. I will tell you her name if |
you would like to know It. Paul bap- !
tlzed her and gave her the right j
name. She is not brilliant, but strong, j
There is a deep quiethood in her man
ner, and a firmness In her tread, and
In her hand Is a scroll revealing her j
mission. She comes from heaven. She j
was born in the throne room of the !
King. This is Patience. “Ye have j
need of patience."
Warm liffitrUtl ('hrUtlaiiA.
Hut here comes a warm hearted,
sympathetic, Christian man. He says:
“There is a man down in the ditch.
1 must get him out. God help me to
get him out." And standing there on
the edge of the ditch the good man so
liloquizes and says to himself, “If I
had had as bad a father and mother as
he had and all the surrou'idings of
my life had been as dcpravir-* as those
that have cursed him I myself would
probably have been down In the ditch,
and if that man had been blesse d with
as good a father ami mother as I have
and he had been surrounded by the
kindly Influences which have encom
passed all my days he would probably
have been standing here looking down
at me in the ditch.” Then the good
man puts his knee to the side of the
ditch and bends over and says to the
(alien one, "Brother, give me your
hand," and with one stout grip lifts
him up to God and heaven. There arc
wounds o’ the world that r.eed the
probe and the sharp knife and severe
surgery, but the most of the wounds
want an application of ointment or
salve, and we ought to have three
or four boxes of that gospel medica
ment in our pocket as we go out into
the world. We all need to carry more
of the "balm of Gilead" and less caus
tic, more benediction and less anathe
ma. When I find a professed Chris
tian man harsh and merciless in his
estimates of others. I silently wonder
if he has not been misusing trust
funds or beating his wife. There is
something awful the matter with
him.
We also have need of patience with
slow results of Christian work. We
want to see our attempts to do good
immediately successful. The world Is
improving, but improving at so delib
erate a rate. Why not more rapidity
and momentum? Other wheels titrn
so swiftly, why not the gospel chariot
take speed electric? I do not know.
I only know that it is God’s way. We
whose cradle and grave are so near to
gether have to hurry up, but God, who
manages this world and the universe,
is from everlasting to everlasting. He
take* 500 years to do that which He
could do in five minutes. His clock
strikes once in a thousand years.
While God took only a week to fit up
the world for human residence, geol
ogy reveals that the foundations of
the world were cons in being laid,end
God watched the glaciers and the fires
and the earthquakes and volcanoes as
through centuries and milleniums they
were shaping this world, before that
last week that put on the arborescence.
A few days ago my friend was talk
ing with a geologist. As they stood
near a pile of rocks my friend said
to the scientist, "I suppose these rocks
were hundreds of thousands of years
in construction?” And the geologist
replied, "Yes, and you might say mil
lions of years, for no one knows but
the Lord, and He won’t tell.” It it
took so long to make this world at
the start, be not surprised if it takes
a long while to make it over again
now that It has been ruined. Tho Ar
chitect has promised to reconstruct it,
and the plans are all made, and at
just the right time it will be so com
plete that it will be fit for heaven to
move in, if. according to the belief
of some of my friends, this world is
to be made the eternal abode of the
righteous. The wall of that temple is
going up, and my only anxiety is to
have the one brick that I am trying
to make for that wall turn out to be
of the right shape and smooth on all
sides, so that the Master Mason will
not reject it. or have much work with
the trowel to get it into place.
Patience 1 nder Injury.
Again, we have need of patience un
der wrong inflicted, and who escapes
it in some form? It comes to ail peo
ple in professional life in the shape of
being misunderstood. Because of this
how many people fly to newspapers for
an explanation. You see their card
signed by their own name declaring
that they did not say this or did not
do that. They fluster and worry, not
realizing that every man comes to be
taken for what he is worth, and you
cannot by any newspaper puff be taken
for more than you are worth nor by
any newspaper depreciation be put
down. There is a spirit of fairness
abroad in the world, and if you are
a public man you are classified among
the friends or foes of society. If you ;
are a friend of society, you will find
plenty of adherents, and if you are the
foe of society you cannot escape repre
hension. Paul, you were right when
you said, not more to the Hebrews |
than to us, "Ye have need of patience."
I adopted a rule years ago which has
been of great service to me, and it
may be of some service to you: Cheer
fully consent to be misunderstood.
God knows whether we are right or
wrong, whether we are trying to serve
Him oY damage His cause. When you
can cheerfully consent to be misun
derstood, many of the annoyances and
vexations of life will quit your heart,
and you will come into calmer seas
than you have ever sailed on. The
most misunderstood being that ever
trod the earth w as the glorious Christ.
The world misunderstood His cradle
and concluded that one so poorly born
could never be of much importance. !
They charged Him with inebriety and
called Him a winebibber. The sanhe
drin misunderstood Him, and when it
was put to tiie vote whether He was
guilty or not of treason He got but
one vote, while all the others voted
"Aye, aye." They misunderstood His
cross and concluded that if He had di
vine power He would effect His own
rescue-. They misunderstood His
grave and declared that His body had
been stolen by infamous resurrection
ists. He so fully consented to he mis
understood that, harried and slapped
and submerged with scorn, he an
swered not a word. You cannot come
up to that, but you can imitate in
some small degree the patience of
Christ.
I'atlenre Under I'hysleal I’alo.
Again, tills grace is needed to help
in time of physical ailments. What
vast multitudes are In perpetual pain
while others are subject to occasional i
paroxysm! Almost every one has j
| some disorder to which he is occa- |
slonally subjected, it is rheumatism j
or neuralgia or sick headache or indi
brings on that old spell and you think
' you w'ould rather have almost any- 1
! thing else, but that is because you !
have not tried the other. Almost ev- |
eryone has something which he wishes
! he had not. There are scores of dis
eases ever ready to attack the human
. frame. They have been in pursuit of
our race ever since Adam and live re
signed their innocence as well as the
world's health. It is amazing bow
| persistent and methodic those dlsor
ders are in their attack on the world
and how regular is the harvest which
with the sharp scythe of pain they
mow down for the grave. No such
disciplined and courageous army ever
marched as the army of physical suf
fering. They do their work In the or
der I name, and you may depend upon
their keeping on in that same order
for a good while yet; first of all tuber
culosis, next organic heart disease,
next pneumonia, next in number of
its victims is apoplexy, next Bright’s
disease, next cancer, next typhoid
fever, next paralysis. Those eight dis
eases are the worst despoiiers of hu
man life. The doctors with solutions
and lancets and anodynes and cata
plasms are in a brave fight against
these physiological devils that try to
possess the human race. But after all
the scientists can do there is a de
mand for patience. Nothing can take
the place of that. It is needed this mo
ment in every sickroom and along the
streets and In business places and
shops where breadwinners are com
pelled to toil when physically incom
petent to move a pen or calculate a
column of figures or control a shovel.
But every pastor could show you in
stances of complete happiness under
physical suffering. He could take you
to that garret or to that hospital or to
some room in his parish where sits
in rocking chair or lies upon a pil
low some one who has not seen a well
day in ten years and yet has never
been heard to utter a word of com
plaint. The grace of God has tri
umphed in her soul as it never tri
umphs in the soul of one who is vig
orous and athletic.
I’.unUh m«nt of ('nft.
Now, let us this hour turn over a
new leaf and banish worriment and
care out of all our lives. Just see how
these perversities have multiplied
wrinkles in your face and acidulated
your disposition and torn your nerves.
You are ten years older than you
ought to be. Do two things, one for
the betterment of your spiritual con
dition and the other for the safety of
your worldly interests. First, get your
heart right with God by being par
doned through the atonement of Jesus
Christ. That will give security for
your soul’s welfare. Then get your
life insured in some well established
life insurance company. That will
take from you all anxiety about the
welfare of your household in case of
your sudden demise. The sanitary in
fluence of such insurance i3 not suffi
ciently understood.
Many a breadwinner long since de
ceased would now have been alive and
well but for the reason that when he
was prostrated he saw that in case of
his decease his family would go to
the poorhouse or have an awful strug
gle for dally bread. But for that anx
iety he would have got well. That
anxiety defied all that the best physi
cians could do. Suppose these two
duties attended to. the one for the
safety of your soul in this world and
the next, and the other for the safety
of your family if you pass out of this
life, make a new start. If possible have
your family sitting room where you
can let in the sunlight. Have a music
al instrument if you can afford it,
harp or piano or bass viol or parlor
organ. Learn how to play on it your
self or have your children learn how
to play on it. Let bright colors domi
nate in your room. If there are pic
tures on the wall, let them not be sug
gestive of battlefields which are al
ways cruel, of deathbeds which are al
ways sad, or partings which are al
ways heartbreaking. There are enough
present woes in the world without the
perpetual commemoration of past mis
eries. If you sing In your home oi
your church do not always choose
tunes in long meter.
The Reward of Patience*
This last summer I stood on Spar
row hill, four miles from Moscow. It
was the place where Napoleon stood
and looked upon the city which he
was about to capture. His army had
been in long marches and awful fights
and fearful exhaustions, and when
they came to Sparrow hill the shout
went up from tens of thousands of
voices, “Moscow, Moscow!" I do not
wonder at the transport. A ridge of
hills sweeps round the city. A river
semicircles it with brilliance. It is a
spectacle that you place In your mem
ory as one of three or four most beau
tiful scenes in all the earth. Napo
leon's army marched on it in four di
visions, four overwhelming torrents of
valor and pomp. Down Sparrow hill
and through the beautiful valley and
across the bridges and into the pal
aces, which surrendered without one
shot of resistance because the ava
lanche of troops was irresistible.
There is the room in which Napoleon
slept, and his pillow, which must have
been very uneasy, for oh, how short
his stay! Fires kindled in all parts
of the city simultaneously drove out
that army into the snow-storms under
which 95,000 men perished. How soon
did triumphal march turn into horri
ble demolition. Today, while 1 speak,
we come on a high hill, a glorious hill
of Christian anticipation. These hosts
of God have had a long march, and
fearful battles and defeats have again
and again mingled with the victories,
but today we come in sight of the great
city, the capital of tic universe, the
residence of the King, and the home
of those who are to reign with him
for ever and ever. Look at the towers
and hear them ring with eternal jubi
lee. Look at the house of many man
sions, where many of our loved ones
are. Behold the streets of burnished
gold and hear the rumble of the char
: iols of those who are more than con
querors. So far from being driven
back, all the twelve gates are wide
open for our entrance. We are march
ing on and marching on, and our ev
i ery step brings U3 nearer to that city.

LESSON XI. DEC. 16—LUKE 19:
1-10,
Zsrcheus, the Publican—"Tile Son of
Man la Come to Meek ami to Save
That Which Was toif-Luke 19: 10
—The Bay of Siulvatioil.
1. "Ami Jesus entered and passed
through (w:w passing) Jericho." The
newer city built tip ami beautified by Her
od. It was a thriving city at this time.
2. "There was a man named Zacchaeus.”
He. was a Jew (v. 0). Ills name Is He
brew. from a root meaning pure. In con
trast with his former character and repu
tation. "Which was the chief (rather,
"a chief") among the publicans." or gath
erers of revenue for the Romans. "And
he was rich." What he says of himself
in v. 8 implies that some of his wealth
was not gained in dishonest ways, for
If It hatl been he could not have restor
ed fourfold.
3. "And he sought to see Jesus." The
Imperfect tense In the Greek denotes that
he "kept seeking." "he was busy seeking."
"Who he was." "Not to see what kind
of a person, but whh h one of the crowd
he was."—Vincent. "And could not for
the press" (crowd) who were thronging
Jesus on his way to Jerusalem. They
were going up to the Passover, at which
feast sometimes two million people were
gathered together. "Because he was
little of stature," and could not see over
the heads of the multitude.
4. "And he ran before” the multitude,
along the path in which they were com
ing. "And climbed up Into a sycamore
tree." The right spelling Is "sycomore.”
5. "And when Jesus came to the place,
he looked up. and saw him.” He knew
both his name and his heart's desire,
either from his supernatural knowledge
of man (Alford) or "lie might easily learn
his name and something of his character
from the comments which his conduct
would draw from the crowd."—Bliss.
"Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down."
Words of extraordinary grace, for, while
the Lord accepted many invitations (Luke
7: 36; 11:37; 14:1), yet we do not read
that he honored any but this publican
by thus offering himjelf to share his
hospitality. The reader will remember
the words of the Lord to the church of
Laodtcea: "If any man hear my voice,
and open the door. 1 will come In to him
and sup with him. and he with me"
(Rev. 3; 201.—SadU r. "For to day I must."
The must of love. It is part of Jesus'
plan of work. The lost sheep must be
brought home. "Abide at thy house.”
"Adopting the royal style, which was
familhir to aim. and which commends
the loyalty or a vassal In the most deli
cate manner by freely exacting his ser
vice*."—Ecc< Homo.
6. "And he made haste." "If Zac- |
chetis had not been alert now, he would j
have failed of hw only opportunity. "And
received him joyfully." He had obtained
not only what he had hoped for. but a
great deal more, fulfilling the desires of
his heart, which he had not dared to
express even to himself.
T. "And when they saw it. they nil
murmured." "Scarcely the disciples, but
the crowd of Jews."— Uevisi d Commen
tary. The action of Christ was very un
popular. and It required (treat c-ourage
thus to brave the almost universal na
tional feeling. "That he was gone to be
guest." A friendly, social visit, as with
an equal. It does not necessarily imply
that he remained over night. (See on v.
5.) "With a man that Is a sinner.” A
disreputable outcast, a notorious sinner.
"Zaccheus. as a publican, would thus be
termed, whatever his character had
been.”
S. "And Zaccheaeus stood." Stood
forth, stood up before his family, and
whatever guests were present. He would
confess his reformation, and his intention
to live u new life, before all; thus, like
Cortex, burning his ships behind him to
leave no opportunity of retreat. "Behold,
Lord, the half of my goods I give to the
poor." "Not. It Is my practice to give.
Zaccheus' statement is not a vindication,
but a vow. ‘I now give by way of res
toration.' "—Vincent. “And (he will be
just as well as generous) If I have taken
any thing from any man by false accu
sation." The If does not Imply doubt,
but being used with the indicative mood
in the Greek denotes a supposition ac
cording to fact, implying that lie has done
such wrong in the past, as If he had said,
"whatsoever 1 have taken." "I restore
him fourfold." Not a declaration of his
past habit, but the expression of u new
purpose.
9. "This day is salvation come to this
house.” The publican was saved; saved
from his past sins, saved from the pun
ishment thereof, 'saved from his sinful
character, to a new, true, holy, and heav
enly life. Salvation Is in the present
tense as well as the future. "Forsomuch
as he also Is a son of Abraham." This
expression was probably used with a
reference to the sneers of Pharisees
against publicans and sinners, us being
unworthy of eternal life.—Kyle.
10. “For the San of man is come to
seek." We learn from tills, that though
Zacceus seemed to seek the Lord to see
him. yet the Lord was secretly seeking
Zaccheus.—Sadler. "And to save that
which was lost." And therefore he went
where the lost were.
The Power of Perseverance*
All the performances of human art,
at which we look with praise or won
der, are instances of the resistless
force of perseverance; it is by this that
the quarry becomes a pyramid, anil
that distant countries are united with
canals. If a man was to compare the
effect of a single stroke of a pickax,
or of one impression of a spade, with
the general design and last result, he
would be overwhelmed by the sense of
their disproportion; yet those petty
operations incessantly continued in
time surmount the greatest difficulties,
and mountains are leveled and oceans
bounded by the slender force of human
beings. It. is therefore of the utmost
importance that those who have any
Intention of deviating from the beaten
load of life, and acquiring a reputation
superior to names hourly swept away
by time among the refuse of fame,
should add to their reason and their
spirit the power of persisting in their
purposes, acquiring the art or sapping
what they cannot batter, and the habit
of vanquishing obstinate resistance by
obstinate attacks.—Samuel Johnson.
Value of un 0|>era Singer's Voice.
How valuable is the voice of an op
eratic star may be judged by a study
of the figures which managers demand
for the singer’s services. For each
opera in which they appear the fol
lowing queens of song are paid as fol
lows: Sembrich. $1,200; Eames, $S00;
Nordica, $800, and Calve, $1,500. A !
good authority gives' the salaries of 1
Campanari and Suzanne Adams at $800
a month. Jean de Reszke used to ba
paid about $14.0(1 per minute for his j
sieging.
IToaUt Follow flood Ii»mpU.
Now that the courts have sustained
the validity of the ordinance in PhlW
adelphla prohbiting the distribution of
advertising handbills and circulars in
the streets and in vestibules and on
the porches, there is a general demand
on the part of newspapers in interior
| Pennsylvania cities for similar ordi
nances. If littering the streets of Phil

advice is absolutely free.
