THE NORTHWESTERN. BKNM IIin r.lt * UIHSON, Edl »nd Pah*. LOUP CITY, * . NER -!-—=?--AUI — J Miss Clara Barton, head of the Red Cross society, has placed with a firm at Kittrell, N. C., an order for 1,000, 000 strawberry plants. These plants will be distributed among the fruit growers of Texas who suffered so se verely from the great ^September storm. Some at least of the great redwood trees of California will be preserved, the state having recently come into possession of about 400 acres of red wood forest through the will of the late Col. J. B. Armstrong of Clover dale, Sonoma county. The tract is to be held as a public park. The first authentic discovery of traces of a prehistoric race in Alaska was made recently by prospectors in the foot-hills of Mount St. Elias. A copper mine was unearthed which had been worked ages ago. Kettles, tools, spear-heads and other articles, made in a crude manner from copper, were found. The President usually issues his Thanksgiving day proclamation just before the November elections. In that way he saves himself from the shafts of the jokers. Were It Issued after election, a President's attitude of thankfulness would be ascribed to his owm party’s victory, it it had achieved a victory. If defeated he would be ac cused of "whistling to keep his cour age up." University chaperones are the latest Viennese novelty. In consequence of the riotous and Insulting behavior of the male students when the women tried to avail themselves of the newly granted permission to attend lectures, many mothers of women students have registered for the university lectures in order to accompany and protect their daughters. The pioneer was the opera singer, Arabella Szilagyl. The house In Peekskill in which Henry Ward Beecher wrote “Nor wood,” has been opened for a free li brary and reading room for Peekskill people. This has been made possible through the generosity of Dr. John Ne well Tilden, who for many years was a practicing physician in Peekskill and later was principal of the military academy there. The institution will be known as the Beecher Free Reading Room. Ezary Baird 'of Fond~du Lac, Wis~! and Miss Clara Elmer of Oshkosh made arrangements to be married at the home of Mrs. King in the former city the other evening. When the justice examined the marriage license he found the five days’ limit required by the instrument had not expired. The wedding party waited until after the midnight hour, the justice returning at about 1 o’clock in the morning to tie the knot. Marriages in Hindostan are very simple, and are usually arranged by the parents of the principals. When an alliance is agreed upon, the bride and groom are brought together, and perhaps see each other for the first time. The bride playfully skips toward the groom and seats herself beside him. The priest ties a corner of the bride’s veil to the groom’s shawl, and this simple proceeding makes them man and wife. A young western attorney was re cently asked why he had so strenuous ly defended a woman who could not pay him. “I can never forget," he re plied. "that she lived at the end of my long paper route when I was a struggling college boy. More than once in winter her kind heart prompt ed her to rise very early to have a cup of hot coffee ready for her news boy, fearing lest he might perish with the cold." Such acts defy commercial "repayment" as much as mother-love or sister influence. How does the old Persian poet put it? "In Time's fleeting river The image of that little vine-leaf lay; Immovably unquiet, and forever It trembles, but it cannot pass away.” A Paris newspaper gives the weight of certain European sovereigns. In a football line-up, Dorn Carlos of Portu gal would he center. His towardness or valor ought to be guaranteed by his 202 pounds. Ferdinand of Bulgaria. 177 pounds, and Oscar of Sweden, one pound less, seem fitted for guards. Kaiser Wilhelm's 160 pounds would give him momentum and force as a tackle. The czar would scarcely make the team except as quarterback, for he weighs only 121 pounds. The little King of Spain, 99 pounds, is out of the question, save to hold the sweater of a player or to toss the coin for choice of position. If monarchy could tolerate the presence of a president of a republic for fullback, the head of the French government, with his 180 pounds, would natural}- be a candidate. The exertion required to make a comma does not count with a writer, and the time involved Is inconsider able. Not to insert a comma, however, may lead to a large cost of time, and an altogether disproportionate amount of money. A recent suit in an impor tant court was brought because the omission of a comma left the meaning of a document in doubt. The expense which it entailed, which a stroke of the pen would have saved, show-3 that economy In punctuation may be at least first cousin to extravagance. TALMAGES SERMON. BLESSINGS SHOWERED UPON AMERICAN PEOPLE. Draws Comparisons Between Oar Own and Other Countries—Our fluty to Ex tend These Blessings to the World— Nome Happy Conditions. (Copyright. 1900, I.ouiM Klopsch, X. T.) Washington, Dec. 16.—Dr. Talmage preaches a discourse of Christian pa triotism and shows the resources of our country and predicts the time when all the world will have the same blessings. His two texts are Reve lation xxi., 13, “On the south three gates;” Psalm cxlvii., “He hath not dealt so with any nation.” Among the greatest needs of our country is more gratitude to God for the unparalleled prosperity bestowed upon us. One of my texts calls us to international comparison. What na tion on all the planet has of late had such enlargement of commercial op portunity as is now opening before this nation? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands brought into close contact with us.and through steamship subsidy and Nicaragua canal, which will surely be afforded by congress, all the republics of South America will be brought into most active trade with the United States. "On the south three gates.” While our next door neigh bors, the southern republics and neigh boring colonies. Imported from Euro pean countries 3,000 miles away $675. 000.000 worth of goods in a year, only $126,000,000 worth went from the Unit ed States—$126,000,000 out of $675,000, 000, only one-fifth of the trade ours. European nations taking the four fin gers and leaving us the poor thumb. Now all this is to be changed. There is nothing but a comparative ferry be tween the Islands which have recently come under our protection, and only a ferry between us and Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay. Uruguay. Venezuela, Salva dor, Nicaragua, Colombia, Costa Rica. Equador. Brazil, while there are raging seas and long voyage between them and Europe. By the mandate of the United States all that will be changed through new facilities of transporta tion. The Nation'* Advertisements* In anticipation of what is sure to come. I nail on the front door of this I nation an advertisement: Wanted.—One hundred thousand 1 men to build railroads through South America and the island of the sea un der our protection. Wanted.—A thousand telegraph op erators. Wanted.—One hundred million dol lars’ worth of dry goods from the great : cities of the United States. Wanted.—All the clocks you can make at New Haven and all the brains you can spare from Boston and all the bells you can mold at Troy and all the McCormick reapers you can fashion at Chicago and all the hams you can turn out at Cincinnati and all the rail road iron you can send from Pitts burg and all the statesmen that you can spare from Washington. Wanted.—Right away, w'anted by new and swifter steamers, wanted by rail-train, lawyers to plead our cause. Wanted.—Doctors to cure our sick. Wanted.—Ministers to evangelize our population. Wanted.—Professors to establish our universities. “On the south three gates.” yea, a thousand gates. South America and all the islands of the sea approximate are rightfully our commercial do main, and the congress of the United States will see to it that we get .vhat belongs to us. And then tides of .ravel will be somewhat diverted from Europe to our islands at the south and to the land of the Aztecs. Much of the $125,000,000 yearly expended by Americans in Eu rope will be expended in southern ex ploration, in looking at some of the ruins of the 47 cities which Stephens found only a little way apart and in walking through the great doorways and over the miracles of mosaic and along by the monumental glories of another civilization, and ancient Am erica will with cold lips of stone kiss the warm lips of modern America, and to have seen the Andes and Popocate petl will be deemed as important as to have seen the Alpine and Balkan ranges, and there will be fewer people spoiled by foreign travel, and in our midst less of the poor and nauseating imitation of a brainless foreign swell. Home Happy Condition*. Again, in this international compar ison notice the happy condition of our country as compared with most coun tries. Russia under the shadow of the dreadful illness of her great and good emperor, who now, more than any man in all the world, represents “peace on earth, good will to men,” and whose empress, near the most solemn hour that ever comes to a woman's soul, is anxious for him to whom she has given hand and heart, not for political reasons, but through old fashioned love such as blesses our humbler dwellings; India under the agonies of a famine which, though somewhat lift ed, has filled hundreds of thousands of graves and thrown millions into or phanage; Austria only waiting for her genial Francis Joseph to die so as to let Hungary rise in rebellion and make the palace of Vienna quake with insur rection; Spain in Carlist revolution and pauperized as seldom any nation has been pauperized; Italy under the horrors of her king's assassination; China shuddering with fear of dismem berment, her capital in possession of foreign nations. After a review of the condition in other lands can you find a more appropriate utterance In regard to our country than the ex clamation of the text, "He hath not dealt to with any nation?" Compare tjie autumnal report of harvests in America this year and the harvests abroad. Last summer I crossed the continent of Europe twice, and I saw no such harvests as are spoken of In this statement. Hear it. all you men and women who want everybody to have enough to eat and wear. I have to tell you that the corn crop of our country this year Is one of the four largest crops on record —2,105.000.000 bushels! The cotton crop, though smaller than at some times, will on that account bring big ger prices, and so cotton planters of the south are prosperous. The wheat fields have provided bread enough and to spare. The potato crop, one of the five largest eropson record—211,000.000 bushels! Twenty-two million two hundred thousand swine slain, and yet so many hogs left. The Htory or Prosperity. But now I give you the comparative exports and imports, which tell the story of national prosperity as noth ing else can. Excess of exports over imports, $544,400,000. Now let all pes simists hide themselves in the dens and caves of the earth, while all grate ful souls fill the churches with dox ology. Notice also that while other countries are at their wits’ ends as to their finances this nation has money to lend. Germany, we are glad to see you in Wall street. If you must bor row money, wc have it all ready. How much will you have? Russia, we also welcome you into our money markets. Give us good collateral. Meanwhile, Denmark, will you please accept our offer of $3,000,000 for the island of St. Thomas? My hearers, there is no na tion on earth with such healthy con dition of finances. We wickedly waste an awful amount of money in this country, but some one has said it is easier to manage a surplus than a deficit. Besides all this, not a disturbance from St. Lawrence river to Key West or from Highlands of New Jersey to Golden Horn of the Pacific. Sectional controversies ended. The north and south brought into complete accord by the Spanish war. which put the Lees and the Grants on the same side, Ver monters and Georgians in the same brigade. And since our civil war we are all mixed up. Southern men have married northern wives, and northern men have married southern wives, and your children are half Mississippian and half New Englander, and to make j another division between the north and the south possible you would have to do with your child as Solomon proposed with the child brought be fore him for judgment—divide it with the sword, giving half to the north and half to the south. No, there is noth ing so hard to split as a cradle. In other lands there is compulsory mar riage of royal families, some bright princess compelled to marry some dis agreeable foreign dignitary in order to keep the balance of political power in Europe, the ill-matched pair fighting out on a small scale that which would have been an international contest, sometimes the husband having the bal ance of power and sometimes the wife. i The Question of Wages. Again, in this international compar ison there is not a land whose wages and salaries are so large for the great mass of the people. In India four cents a day and find yourself is good wages; in Ireland, in some parts, eight cents a day for wages; in England, $1 a day good wages, vast populations not get ting as much as that; in other lands, 50 cents a day and 25 cents a day, clear on down to starvation and squalor! Look at the great popula tions coming out of the factories of other lands and accompany them to their homes and see what privations the hard-working classes on the otlnr side of the sea suffer. The laboring classes in America are 10 per cent bet ter off than those in any other coun try under the sun, 20 per cent. 40 per cent, 50 per cent. The toilers of hand and foot have better homes and better j furnished. ‘'How much wages do you get?” is a question I have asked in Calcutta, in St. Petersburg, in Berlin, ! in Stockholm, in London, in Paris, in Auckland, New Zealand; in Sydney, Australia, in Samoa, in the Sandwich | Islands, so I am not talking an ab straction. The stone masons and car penters and plumbers and mechanics and artisans of all kinds in America have finer residences than the major ity of the professional men in Europe. You enter the laborer's house on our side of the sea and you find upholstery and pictures and instruments of music. His children are educated at the best schools. His life is insured, so that in case of sudden demise his family shall not be homeless. Let all American workingmen knew that while their wages may not be as high as they would like to have them, America is the paradise of industry. KxpeiiMf** of (fovt'riiiuont. It Is said that in our country we have more dishonesty in the use of public funds than in other lands. The difference Is that in our country al most every official has a chance to steal, while in other lands a few peo ple absorb so much that the others have no chance at appropriation. The reason they do not steal is because ; they cannot get their hands on it. The governments of Europe are so expen sive that after the salaries of the royal families are paid there Is not much left to misappropriate. The emperor of Russia has a nice little salary of $8, 210,000. The emperor of Austria has a yearly salary of $4,000,000. Victoria, •Se queen, has a salary of $2,200,000. The royal plate of St. James palace is worth $10,000,000. There is a host of attendants, all on salaries, some of i them $5,000 a year, some $0,000 a year. | Comptroller of the household, mistress of the robes, captain of gold stick, lieu tenant of silver stick, clerk of the powder closet, pages of the back stairs. ( master of the horse, chief equerry, equerries in ordinary, crown equerry, hereditary grand falconer, vice cham berlain. clerk of the kitchen, grooms in waiting, lords in waiting, graonw «f the court chamber, sergeant-at-arms, barge master and waterman, eight bed chamber women, eight ladies of the bedchamber, and so on and so on. All this is only a type of the fabulous expense of foreign governments. All this is paid out of the sweat and blood of the people. Are the people satis fied? However mueh the Germans like William, and Austria likes Francis Joseph, and England likes her glori ous queen, these stupendous govern mental expenses are built on a groan of dissatisfaction as wide as Europe. If it were left to the people of England or Austria or Germany or Russia w'hether these expensive establish ments should be kept up. do you doubt what the vote would be? Now. is it not better that we be overtaxed and the surplus be distributed all over the land than to have it built up and piled up inside the palaces? Question of Monopolies. Again, the monopolistic oppression is less in America than anywhere else. The air is full of protest because great houses, great companies, great indi viduals, are building such overtower ing fortunes. Stephen Girard and John Jacob Astor, stared at in their time for their august fortunes, would not now be pointed at in the streets of Washington or Philadelphia or New York as anything remarkable. These vast fortunes for some imply pinched nesa, of want for others. A growing protuberance on a man’s head implies illness of the whole body. These es tates of disproportionate siza weaken all the body politic. But the evil is nothing with us compared with the monopolistic oppression abroad. Just look at the ecclesiastical establish ments on the other side of the sea. I>ook at those great cathedrals, built at fabulous expense and supported by ecclesiastical machinery, and some times in an audience room that would hold a thousand people twenty or thir ty people gather for worship. The pope’s income is 58.000,000 a year. Cathedrals of statuary and braided arch and walls covered with master pieces of Rubens and Raphael and Michael Angelo. Against all the walls dash seas of poverty and crime and filth and abomination. Ireland today one vast monopolistic visitation. About 45,000,000 people in Great Britain, and yet all the soil owned by about 32,000. Statistics enough to make the earth tremble. Duke of Devonshire owning 96,000 acres in Derbyshire, Duke of Richmond owning 300,000 acres around Gordon castle. Marcus of Bredalbane going on a journey of 100 miles in a straight line, all on his own property. Duke of Sutherland has an estate wide Scotland, which dips into the sea va both sides. Unfortunate as we have it here, it is a great deal worse there. While making the international comparison let us look forward to the time which will surely come when all nations will have as great advantage’s as our own. As surely as the Bible 4s true the whole earth is to be gardan ized and set free. Even the climates will change and the heats be cooled and the frigidity warmed. NATURE IS STRANCE. Its Impulses Illustrated l>y Teamster and Hungry IJog Episode. Seated at the edge of the curbing was a weary teamster, while near by stood his horses crunching away at their noon portion of oats, says the Chicago News. Heaving a deep sigh, the teamster slowiy ambled to the wa gon and from under the seat drew forth a good-sized dinner pail. Resuming his seat upon the curb he mechanically removed the cover from the lunch burket and began to eat. His mind was far away from his sur roundings. and with an occasional ominous shake of the head he mutter ed the thoughts that burdened his brain. The appearance of a lean, hun gry-looking dog resting upon its haunches directly in front of him at tracted his attention. The animal gazed longingly at each morsel of food which passed the man's lips. The man shied a bit of bread at the dog. who devoured it eagerly. One piece of food after another he tossed to the emaci ated animal until the contents of pall had disappeared, all but a tough and dangerous doughnut. Breaking a piece from the "sinker.’’ he bade him eat it. The animal sniffed, but refused to take it in its teeth. Thinking that by tossing the morsel to the ground the animal might eat it, he did so; but the dog pushed it aside with his nose and disdained to eat it. This act on the part of the dog so angered him that he arose slowly and landed a vi cious kick in the dog's ribs, which sent the poor animal into the gutter, where it lay writhing in agony, "So you, too, refused to take what I.would rob myself of, after having sacrificed ev erything else,” said the teamster, with that remark and a parting kick at the prostrate animal, he hastily re moved the nosebags from the horses, mounted to the seat and drove away. Horne Shoes for Luck. The custom of keeping horseshoes for luck is said to have originated at the time when in every home was the picture of the patron saint. About the head of the saint was the distinguish ing halo, which was frequently made of metal, sometimes the shape of a horseshoe. When anything happened to the picture the halo was still kept, and remained fastened to the door, la order that the saint's influence might still prevail. As the bit of metal was the most substantial part of the pic ture, it soon became the custom to , make a Charm of this part only, and the torseshoe followed logically as a nrevention against evil. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. | LESSON XII! DEC. 30—A REVIEW OF CHRISTMAS LESSON. "Thou Crownellt tlie Year with Thy Goodne**"—r«»lm» 55- 11— Suggestion* to Teacher* of Sunday School*—Child hood and Youth of Christ. No better Christmas lesson can he taught to many classes than a general view of the life of Christ as a whole, showing why we should rejoice and why the angels came from heaven to sing their Gloria fn Excelsia when Jesus was born Into this world. It was what he did and taught hero that made his birth a matter of so muc-h rejoicing. I.et us use every means possible to im press upon our pupils the life of Christ and its meaning, how each act and mira cle and parable and teaching helped to show him to be the Savior we need, the true Savior of mankind. There are many forms of reviewing, and any one of them can tie made effec tive witli care and planning beforehand. Some give up the whole morning service to the review, and it is made very ef fective. A review with pictures by a stereoptleon can greatly Impress the scenes on the mind, provided there go with it class reviews of the main fea tures of the life of Christ. The accompanying chart will help us to see the life of Christ as one whole, connecting the dif ferent parts, show ing their relation to the work of redemp tion. Note espe cially the birth, childhood, training, a n d preparation; the length of the ministry, the grad ual unfolding of the work, the miracles and their meaning, the discourses on various subjects, the parables, the practical directions, the revelations of the character and nature of the Ke deemer.

Nome City I* DooW Nome City will not be loq ved. It may be destroyed or it, m be de serted. As for this last, there is no excuse for a permanent city here. There is no harbor, no wharfs, no piers, no way of unloading vessels save by lighters. It is a dangerous coast to be on in a northwest gale, as witness the loss of three staunch ships in such a gale but a month ago—the Dollar, Resolute and Merwin. Nearly a score of lives were lost, and much valuable goods. As soon as the fold deposit is exhausted hereabouts the city will :»e deserted unless further gold discov eries are made inland that will call for a base of supplies here. o • HU Conception of Faith. The teacher was trying to communi cate to the juvenile class an idea of faitli and to better illustrate it she held up an apple and said: "If I were to tell you there were no seeds in this apple you would believe me without further proof, would you not?" "Yes, ma’am.” answered the class in chorus. “Well, that's faith,” said the teacher. The next day in order to test their recollections of the lesson she asked: "Who can tell me what faith is?" "I can,” promptly answered a small urchin. "It's an apple what ain’t got no seeds in it.” (iolng to Begin. No good work that can l>e com menced at once should ever be post poned. Men sometimes compromise with their consciences by promising to abandon some pet vice at a future day. We have no faith in post-dated prom ises of reform. Persons who make them may think they are in earnest, but they deceive themselves. Why not resolve and execute simultaneously? If a habit is evil and dangerous, give it no quarter.
