In South Carolina there was hanged
last week a negro convicted of assault

In the Georgia legislature a bill has

Commissioner of Agriculture to in
spect proprietary medicines to see if
they are wholesome or injurious.
When the testers, or ‘‘tasters," are in

The great dam across the Nile at
Assoua, which has just been complet
ed, is designed to hold back the floods
and provide for a system of regular
irrigation. It is expected that some
60o,000 acres of arid land will be made
productive. The dam cost about $1,
000,000 and has required two years for
construction—a comparatively short
time, when the magnitude of the work
is considered.
A young woman teacher of St. Louis
tried to discourage tardiness by kiss
ing the first pupil to arrive at school
in the morning. On the day the sys
tem went into effect two boys of 16,only
two years younger than the teacher,
arrived several hours before school
opened, and every boy in the school
was on hand an hour ahead of time.
The two big boys each got a kiss, but
the system was abandoned.
The new Austrian parliament con
tains no less than twenty-six parties,
with membership ranging from two up
to sixty-four. No party has a major
ity. In elections the Anti-Semites and
the Clerical parties suffered heavily,
many of their seats being captured by
Socialists or Nationalists. The Ger
man members outnumber the Poles,
or Czecks, by thirty. It is not believed
that any government can long con
tinue to hold office.
A woman reformer recently pulled
from the folds of her gown a soiled
American flag and waved it before
the audience, saying that she had
waved it from public platforms in
every country in Europe. “More’s the
pity!’’ murmured a much-loved gen
eral, who had lost his arm in fighting
under that emblem. Those who see in
our flag liberty and justice and mod
eration do not incessantly wave it
above their heads; but perhaps they
will sustain it long after those who
every day wrap themselves ostenta
tiously in its folds have dropped in
the rear.
According to me statements of a
former resident in the Klondike, the
inhabitants of that region suffer much
from snow blindness. Dark glasses
seem to be of no value in the way of
prophylaxis. That which afforded the
most protection was wooden goggles,
the patterns for which were taken from
those worn by the Indians. These
were whittled out of a piece of wood,
fitting closely around the eyes, and
with no glasses at all; but in the place
of glasses were very small openings
to see through, the inside being col
ored black. A projection like the
visor of a cap extended over them,
which was also colored black on the
under side to shade the eyes.
The groups of coast-defenders on
duty at life-saving stations are now
having their most trying experiences.
One of the force describes a sentinel
tour along the shore in a terrific gale
with a blinding snow. He was unable
to keep his feet, but crawled to the
outer limit of his beat, and returned
in the same manner. The cold and
fatigue made the night-watching an
exhausting test of endurance and cour
age. His warning light was happily
not needed, and no vessel came within
the danger line; but the devotion was
ready and the duty faithfully fulfilled.
In the homes of comfort and security,
when darkness and tempest bring no
fear to the householder, let not the
men whose service often means peril
and privation be forgotten. Sympa
thetic thought, and whatever is needed
to make their lives exempt from un
necessary suffering, ought to be a glad
offering to the brave and patient men
whose record is an honor to them
selves and to their country.

rAnd God Khali Wipe Away All Team
from Their Ej«i" — Rev. VII: 17—The
New Heaven and the New Earth—The
' Covert of Last Resort.
(Copyright, 1901, by Louis Klopsch. N. T.)
New York, March 10.—A vast audi
ence crowded the Academy of Music
in this city today to hear Dr. Talmage.
Discoursing on “The Ministry of j
Tears,” he put the misfortunes of life
in a cheerful light, showing that if
they were borne in the right spirit !
they might prove to bo advantages. j
His text was Rev. vii, 17, "And God 1
shall wipe away all tears from their j
eyes.”
What a spectacle a few weeks ago
when the nations were in tears! Queen
Victoria ascended from the highest
throne on earth to a throne in heaven.
The prayer more often offered than
any prayer for the last sixty-four
years had been answered, and God did
save the queen. All round the world
the bells were tolling, and the minute j
guns were booming at the obsequies of j
the most honored woman of many cen
turies, As near four years ago the
English and American nations shook
hands in congratulation at the queen's
Jubilee so in these times two nations
shook hands in mournful sympathy at
the queen’s departure. No people out
side Great Britain so deeply felt that
mighty grief as our people. The cra
dles of many of our ancestors were
rocked in Great Britain. Those ances
tors played in childhood on the banks
of the Tweed or the Thames or the
Shannon. Take from our veins our
English blood or the Welsh blood or
the Irish blood or the Scotch blood
and the stream of our life would be a
mere shallow. They are over there
bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.
It is our Wilberforce, our Coleridge,
our De Quincey, our Robert Burns, our
John Wesley, our John Knox, our
Thomas Chalmers, our Walter Scott,
our Bishop Charnock, our Latimer,
our Ridley, our Robert Emmet, our
Daniel O'Connell, our Havelock, our
Ruskin, our Gladstone, our good and
great and glorious Victoria.
The Ministry 0f T«*ar*.
You remember that bottle which Da
vid labeled as containing tears, and
Mary’s tears, and Paul's tears, and
Christ's tears, and the harvest of joy
that is to spring from the sowing of
tears. God exhales them. A census
is taken of them, and there is a rec- !
ord as to the moment when they were
born and as to the place of their
grave. Tears of bad men are not kept.
Alexander in his sorrow had the hair
clipped from his horses and mules and
made a great ado about his grief, but
in all the vases of heaven there is not
one of Alexander's tears. I speak of
the tears of God’s children. Alas, me,
they aro falling all the time! In sum
mer you sometimes hear the growling
thunder and you see there is a storm
miles away, but you know from the
drift of the clouds that it will not
come anywhere near you. So, though
it may be all bright around about you,
there is a shower of trouble some- i
where all the time. Tears, tears!
What is the use of them anyhow?
Why not substitute laughter? Why
not make this a world where all the j
people are well and eternal strangers
to pains and aches? What Is the use
of an eastern storm when you might
have a perpetual nor'wester? Why,
when a family is put together, not :
have them all stay, or, if they must
be transplanted to make other homes, ;
then have them all live, the family
record telling a story of marriages and
births, hut of uo deaths? Why not
have the harvests chase each other
without fatiguing toil? Why the hard
pillow, the crust, the hard struggle?
It is easy enough to explain a smile or
a success or a congratulation, but
come now and bring all your diction
aries and all your philosophies and all
your religion and help me explain a
tear. A chemist will tell you that it is
made up of salt and lime and other
component parts, but he misses the j
chief ingredients—the acid of a soured
life, the viperlne sting of a bitter
memory, the fragments of a broken
heart. I will tell you what a tear is.
It is agony in solution. Hear, then,
while I discourse of the ministry of
tears of the practical uses of sorrow:
New Heaven ami New Kart In
After a. naan has had a good deal of
trouble he says: "Well. I am ready to
go. If there is a house somewhere i
whose roof does not leak, I would like i
to live there. If there is an atmos
phere somewhere that does not dis
tress the lungs, I would like to breathe
it. If there is a society somewhere
where there is no tittle tattle, 1 would
like to live there. If there is a home
circle somewhere where I can find my
lost friends, I would like to go there.’’
He used to read the first part of the
Bible chiefly; now he reads the latter
part of the Bible chiefly. Why has he
changed Genesis for Revelation? Ah.
he used to be anxious chiefly to know
all about Its geological construction.
Now he is chiefly anxious to know
how the next world was made and all
about its geological construction. Now
he is chiefly anxious to know how the
next world was made and how it looks
and who live there and how they
dress. He reads Revelation ten times
now where he reads Genesis once.
The old story. “In the neginning God
created the heavens and the earth,”
does not thrill him half as much as
the other story. “I saw a new heaven
and a new earth.” The old man's
hand trembles as he turns over this
apocalyptical leaf, and he has to take
out his handkerchief to wipe his spec
tacles. That book of Revelation is a
prospectus now of the country into
which he is soon to immigrate; the
country in which he has iots already
1
l*ld out and avenues opened and man
sions built.
It is trouble, my friends, that makes
us feel our dependence upon God. We
do not know our weakness nor God's
strength until the last plank breaks.
It is contemptible in us that only
w’hen there is nothing else to take
hold of we catch hold of God. Why,
do you know who the Lord is? He is
not an autocrat, seated far up in a
palace, from which he emerges once
a year, preceded by heralds swinging
swords to clear the way. No. He is
a father, willing at our call to stand
by us in every crisis and predicament
of life. I tell you what some of you
business men make me think of. A
man is unfortunate in his business.
He has to raise a good deal of money
and raise it quickly. He borrows on
word and note all he can borrow. Af
ter awhile he puts a mortgage on his
house. Then he puts a lien on his
furniture. Then he makes over hi§
life insurance. Then he assigns all
his property. Then he goes to his
father-in-law and asks for help. Well,
having failed everywhere, completely
failed, he gets down on his knees and
says, “Oh, Lord, I have tried every
body and everything; now help me
out of this financial trouble." He
makes God the last resort instead of
the first resort.
The Lilt Kesort.
Now, some of you treat God just as
that young man treated his mother.
When you get into a financial perplex
ity, you call on the banker, you call on
the broker, you call on your creditors,
you call on your lawyer for legal coun
sel, you call upon everybody, and when
you cannot get any help then you
go to God. You say: "Oh, Lord. I
come to thee. Help me now cut of my
perplexity.” And the Lord comes,
though it is the eleventh hour. He
says: "Why did you not send for me
before? As one whom his mother com
forteth, so will I comfort you.” It is
to throw us back upon God that we
have this ministry of tears.
I like what Martin Luther said to
Philip Melanohton when Melanchton
has gone to bed discouraged and saying
to Luther: "Our cause is lost. We have
had all our work for nothing. 1 am
in a state of despair!” Then Luther
said: "Come, Philip; we have had
enough of such talk! I/et us sing the
Forty-sixth Psalm of David: ‘God is
our refuge and strength, a very pres
ent help in trouble, therefore will not
we fear though the earth be removed
and the mountains cast into the midst
of the sea. Though the waters there
of roar and be troubled, though the
mountains shake with the swelling
thereof. Selahl’ ”
Again, it is the use of trouble to
capacitate us for the office of sympa
thy. The priests, under the old dis
pensation, were set apart by having
water sprinkled upon their hands, feet
and head, and by the sprinkling of
tears people are now set apart to the
office of sympathy. When we are in
prosperity, we like to have a great
many young people around us, and
we laugh when they laugh, and we
romp when they romp, and we sing
when they sing, but when we have
trouble we like plenty of old folks
around. Why? They know how to
talk. Take an aged mother, 75 years
of age, and she is almost omnipotent
in comfort. Why? She has been
through it all. At 7 o’clock in the
morning she goes over to comfort a
young mother who has just lost her
babe. Grandmother knows all about
that trouble. Fifty years ago she felt
it. At 12 o’clock of that day she goes
over to comfort a widowed soul. She
knows all about that. She has been
walking in that dark valley 20 years.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon some one
knocks at the door, wanting bread.
She knows all about that. Two or three
times in her life she came to her last
loaf. At 10 o'clock that night she
goes over to sit up with some one
severely sick. She knows all about it.
She knows all about fevers and pleu
risies and broken bones. She has been
doctoring all her life, spreading plas
ters and pouring out bitter drops and
shaking up hot pillows and contriv
ing things to tempt a poor appetite,
Drs. Abernethy and Rush and Ho
sack and Harvey were great doctors,
but the greatest doctor the world ever
saw is an old Christian woman. Dear
me! Do we not remember her about
the room when we were sick in our
boyhood? Was there any one who eould
ever so touch the sore without hurting
it? And when she lifted her specta
cles against her wrinkled forehead so
she could look closer at the wound it
was three-fourths healed. And when
the Lord took her home, although you
may have been men and women 30,
40. 50 years of age, you lay on the
coffin lid and sobbed as though you
were 5 or 10 years of age.
The ITnfitiUnu; Kemetly.
I am an herb doctor. I put into the
caldron the root out of dry ground,
without form or comeliness. Then I
put in the rose of sharon and the lily
of the valley. Then I put into the
caldron some of the leaves from tho
tree of life and the branch that was
thrown into the wilderness Marah.
Then I pour iu the tears of Bethany
and Golgotha. Then I stir them up.
Then I kindle under the caldron a Are
made out of the wood of the cross,
and one drop of that potion will cure
the worst sickness that ever afflicted a
human soul. Mary and Martha shall
receive their I^azarus from the tomb.
The damsel shall rise. And on tho
darkness shall break the morning,
and God will wipe away all tears from
their eyes.
Your troubles are educational. I go
into the office of a lapidary, an arti
ficer in precious stones, and I see him
at work on one precious stone for a
few minutes, and he puts it aside fin
ished. I see him take up another pre
cious stone, And he works on that all
the afternoon, and I come in the next
day and still find him working on It,
and he is at work on it all the week.
I «ay to him, ‘Why did you put only
20 minutes’ work on that one precious
stone and put a whole week on this
other?" "Oh,” he says, "that one upon
which I put only 20 minutes’ work is
of but little worth, and I soon got
through with it. But this precious
stone upon which I have put such pro
longed and careful work is of vast
value, and it is to flash in a king's
coronet." So God lets one man g®
through life with only a little cutting
of misfortune, for he does not amount
to much; he is a small soul and of com
paratively little value. But this other
soul is of great worth, and it is cut
of pain and cut of bereavement and cut
of persecution and cut of all kintis of
trouble and through many years, and
I ask, ‘‘Dear Lord, why all this pro
longed and severe process?’’ And God
says: "This soul is of infinite value,
and it is to flash in a king’s cornet.
He shall be mine in the day when I
make up my jewels.”
The Sympathy of Jemm.
Jesus had enough trial to make him
sympathetic with all trial. The short
est verse in the Bible tells the story,
“Jesus wept." The scar on the back
of his either hand, the scar on the
arch of either foot, the row of scars
along the line of the hair, will keep
all heaven thinking. Oh, that Great
Weeper is just the one to silence all
earthly trouble, wipe out all stains of
earthly grief! Gentle! Why, his step
is softer than the step of the dew.
It will not be a tyrant bidding you
hush your crying. It will be a father
who will take you on his left arm, hi3
face beaming into yours, while with
the soft tips of the fingers of the right
hand he shall wipe away all tears from
your eyes.
Y on nave noticed when the children
get hurt and their mother is away from
home they always come to you, the
father, for comfort and sympathy, but
you have noticed when the children
get hurt and their mother is at home
they go right past you and to her,
and you are of no account. So, when
the soul comes up into heaven out of
the wounds of this life, it will not stop
to look for Paul or Moses or David
or John. These did very well once, but
now the soul shall rush past, crying:
“Where is Jesus’ Where is Jesus?”
Methinks it will take us some time
to get used to heaven, the fruits of
God without one speck, the fresh pas
tures without one nettle, the orchestra
without one snapped string, the river
of gladness without one torn bank,
the solferino and the saffron of the
sunrise of the eternal day that beams
from God's face.
Friends, if we could get any appre
ciation of what God has in reserve for
us it would make us so homesick wo
would be unfit for our everyday work.
Professor Leonard, formerly of Iowa
university, put in my hands a me
teoric stone—a stone thrown off from
some other world to this. How sug
gestive It was to me! And I have to
tell you the best representations we
have of heaven are only aerolites Hung
off from that world which rolls on.
hearing the multitude ot the redeemed.
We analyze these aerolites and flmf
the crystallizations of tears. No won
der, flung off from heaven! * God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
Wipe Away the Tears.
Take this good cheer home with
you. These tears of bereavement that
course your cheek and of persecution
and of trial are not always to be there.
The motherly hand of God will wipe
them all away. What la-the use on
the way to such a consummation—what
is the use of freeting about anything?
Oh, what an exhilaration it ought to be
in Christian work! See you the pinna
cles against the sky? It is the city of
our God, and we are approaching it.
Oh, let us be busy in the days that
remain for us!
The Saxons and the Britons went out
to battle. The Saxons were all armed.
The Britons had no weapons at all,
and yet history tells us that the Brit
ons got the victory. Why? They went
into battle shouting three times, “Hal
lelujah!” and at the third shout of
"Hallelujah!” their enemies fled panic
struck, and so the Britons got the
victory. And, my friends, If we could
only appreciate the glories that are
to come we would be so filled with
enthusiasm that no power on earth
or hell could stand before us, and
at our first shout the opposing forces
would begin to tremble, and at our
second shout they would begin to fall
back, and at our third shout they
would be routed forever. There is no
power on earth or in hell that could
stand before three such volleys of
hallelujah.
I put this balm on the wounds of
your heart: Rejoice at the thought of
what your departed friends have got
rid of and that you have a prospect of
so soon making your own escape. Bear
cheerfully the ministry of tears and
exult at the thought that soon it is
to be ended.
There we shall march up the heavenly
street
And ground our arms at Jesus’ feet.

Sinbad's experience with the magnet

Golden Text: “ClirUt llled (In the HfTort
to Create Better Conditions* for Our
81ns According to the Scriptures"—
I Cor. 10:3—Jesus Crncltted.
Sum of the Lesson.—The consummation
of the conspiracy to take away the life
ot Jesus evoked anger from on high that
was clearly manifested. The clouds dark
ened, the earth trembled and the people
were stricken with terror. Modern as
tronomers have calculated the time of the
earthquake so accurately that the date of
the crucifixion is fixed exactly. The same
authorities make note of the fact that the
birth of Christ was marked by a star,
1 lius the beginning and the end of a life
destined to leave its imprint on human
character the world over was marked in
a way that could not be blotted out by
the loss of rewards of other great events.
God's handiwork is indeiiible. ills punc
tuation of the life of Jesus was intended
to impress men of every age.
Modern Application.—Don't think that
because the law puts a man to punish
ment they are all guilty of crime. Some
go to the death to answer for the crimes
of others, sortie go to prison because they
tell the truth.
Text of to-day’s lesson:
35. And the people stood beholding. And
the rulers also scoffed at hltn, saying.
He saved others; let him save himself, if
he be t’hrlst, the chosen God.
3*1. And the soldiers also mocked him.

gar,
37. And saying, if thou art the King of
the Jews, save thyself.
3S. And a superscription also was writ
ten over him, in-letters of Greek, and
Latin, and Hebrew, "This is the King of
the Jews."
And one of the malefactors which
were hanged railed on him. saying. If
thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.
40. But the other answering rebuked
him, saying. Dost not thou fear God. see
ing thou art in the same condemnation?
41. And we indeed Justly; for we re
ceive the due reward of our deeds; but
this man hath done nothing amiss.
42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, re
member me when thou contest into thy
kingdom.
43. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I
say unto thee. To-day shalt thou be with
me in Paradise.
44. And it was now about the sixth
hour, and there was n darkness came
over all the earth until the ninth hour.
45. And the sun was darkened, and the
veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
4C. And when Jesus had cried with a
loud voice, he said. Father, into thy hands
l commend niv spirit: and having said
this, he gave up the ghost.
47. And when the centurion saw what
was done, he glorified God, saying. Cer
tainly this was a righteous man.
48. And all the multitude that cant
together to this sight, when they beheld
the things that were done, returned smit
ing their breasts.
4J. And all his accpiaintance. and the
women that followed him from Galilee,
stood afar off, beholding these things.
50. And behold, there was a man named
Joseph, who was a counsellor, and lie was
a good man and righteous.
51. The same had not consented to their
counsel and deed, ho was a man of
Aritnathea, a city of the Jews, who also
himself waited for the kingdom of God:
52. This man went unto Pilate, and
begged the body of Jesu%
53. And he took it down, and wrapped
it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a
sepulcher that was hewn in stone, where
in never man before was laid.
Illustration.—Bunker Hill monument
commemorates a defeat, which for a long
time was looked upon with chagrin and
disappointment; and yet that defeat was
really the birth-throe of our country, and
had more glorious results and more wide
reaching influence than most victories.
So the famous Thermopylae was a defeat,
but has thrilled the ages because it was
a moral victory.
4. The cross expresses the essential pe
culiarity of the religion of Christ, which
gives it its power over all other relig
ions. Other religions have precepts of
high morality, as Confucius, and Ar
nold's "Light of Asia" show. Every great
religion has such precepts and Ideals.
They have been selected from the sacred
literatures, and presented in books or in
addresses like those at the Parliament
of Religions; and men ask. "What is
the use of sending Bibles and missionaries
to people who have such a morality be
fore them?'' The peoples and countries,
under the influence of those religions,
prove that they need something more.
What they need is power to enable men
to live up to their ideals. They are sys
tems of morality; Christianity is a sys
tem of redemption. They tell the bless
ings of health: t'hrlst gives the cure, and
makes men well. They make pictures of
heaven: Christ Is the way to heaven.
They are lingers pointing to a better life;
Christ is the power that gives the better
life. They say. "Be good, and you shall
be happy;" Christ makes us good, and
therefore happy,
Christ's whole life was a failure viewed
from the standpoint of individual suc
cess. For mankind in general it was the
greatest victory that the world has ever
known. IBs death on the cross was the
crowning victory.
Larretia Mott's Apples.
An elderly woman who for years has
lived in a Philadelphia suburb, tells a
characteristic anecdote of the late Lu
cretia Mott, who was formerly a
neighbor, and whom she know very
well. "Lucret&i had a fine apple or
chard." says the Kansas City Journal.
"Her apples were the best grown any
where around. The orchard was sep
arated from the road by a stone wall,
and people in passing would often
climb over the wall and take some of
the fruit. This was a source of great
distress to Lucretia, who was one of
the best women that ever lived. That
she should place temptation in the
way of others troubled her greatly.
Finally she decided upon a plan to ease
her conscience. At Intervals along the
top of the wall she had baskets placed,
filled with choice apples. On each bas
ket was a sign which read: ‘Thou
shalt not steal.’ Then, underneath was
another sign reading: ’Help thyself.’
This was characteristic of the old abo
litionist.”
Spread < t leprosy In (■eriiinny.
Germany is getting nervous over the
spread of leprosy in the empire. The
imperial board of health recently re
ported that there were twenty-two
known eases of leprosy in Prussia last
year. There were also six cases which
were suspected and are still under ob
servation, and probably some which
have not been reported. In the city of
Hamburg ten cases were found. In
Mecklenburg-Schwerin another rase
was reported. In the Memel district
of Prussia the disease is indigenous.
THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
What suffering frequently resul*'
from a mother's ignorance; or morj
frequently from a mother’s neglect to
properly instruct her daughter 1
Tradition says “woman must suf
fer," and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that 6lie gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their

MiSS PFALiOHAf
Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation —
liad headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkhara’s Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham’s great medicine for regu
lating woman’s peculiar monthly
troubles.
