The M«xican army of more than
25,000 men is supported upon a trifle
more than 1,000,000 Mexican dollars a

not cost $1,000,000 a year.
Captain Richard P. Leary, U. S. N.,

Mr. Justice Brewer, of the United
States Supreme Court, said in a recent
address that he who calls a mob into
being cannot be pronounced wholly
guiltless of that which the mob may
do. The remark is both seasonable
and full of sound sense.
Army recruits are scarce in England
as well as in this country. In order
to stimulate the laggard military spirit
among British yokels a genius of the
war office in Ix)ndon has devised what
be calls a “recruitograph.” This is a
moving picture machine which shows
all sorts of attractive views of army
life.

Pallas of Maysville, Kan., was caught
In a machine and terribly Injured.
While he was still laid up his wife
deserted him. In October he secured a
divorce, which under the state law did
not become final until the expiration
of six months. He died before that
time and now his divorced wife claims
his estate.
Mexico knows nothing of the dila
tory court methods so common in this
country. A California prospector had
a case involving some mining prop
erty in Sinaloa. It came up first in
February. 1900, and went against him.
It has since been appealed three times,
all four decisions having been secured
in eleven months. Three of the courts
favored the American.
If is estimated that if Mr. Carnegie
continued to give away money at the
rate at which he has been distributing
it for the past fifty days his entire for
tune would be gone in the course o'
the- year 1303. But as he is in good
ec-alth and has a reasonable expecta
tion of life of at least twenty years he
will probably so arrange his benefac
tions as not to deprive himself of the
pleasure of passing them around at
such an early date.
Former Chief Justice Logan E.
Bleckley of Georgia, greatly to the
surprise of his friends, has matricu
lated at the state university for a spe

is now seventy-six years old. He is
writing a book in which he treats of
mathematics, but finds that he is
somewhat rusty on the subject. It 13
for the purpose of ‘brushing up,” as
he rays, that he is attending college.

The chancellor of the exchequer tn
England has asked the speaker of the
house of commons to punish the Eon
don Times for printing official secrets
by excluding its representatives from
the house. The Times is something of
a national Institution Itself, although
it has been badly treated by its edi
tors, and It is just about as essential
to parliament as parliament is to It. A
good many English public men might
as well not talk at all as not to have
their speeches reported in the Times..
A complete list of the things named
in honor of Queen Victoria would not
only show the esteem in which she was
held, but would also suggest how much
of the world's progress had taken place
during the period covered by her
reign. The. great Australian state
hearing her name recalls the history
making developments tn that quarter
of the globe; the Victorian triumphs
of exploraton are typified by the dis
covery of great lakes in Central Africa,
one of which commemorates her name.
The famous bridge at Montreal, the
beautiful park on the Canadian side of
Niagara Falls, and some at least of the
sixteen Victorias in the United States
are among the interesting North Am
erican memorials. It is a good advan
tage tor a sovereign to possess a name
not identified with anybody else, f< r
then things named in her honor will
indicate to all the future about the
time in the history when they came
into being.

Your friend takes you through his
valuable house. You examine tne
arches, the frescoes, the grass plots,
the fish ponds, the conservatories, the
parks of deer, and you say within j
yourself or you say aloud, “What dul
all this cost?” You see a costly dla- I
mond flashing in an earring, or you !
hear a costly dress rustling across the
drawing room, or you see a high met
tled span of horses harnessed with sil
ver and gold, and you begin to make
an estimate of the value.
The man who owns a large estate j
cannot instantly tell you all it Is |
worth. He says, "I will estimate so
much for the house, so much for the
furniture, so much for laying out the

much for the barn, so much for the
equipage, adding up in all making this
aggregate.
Well, my friends, I hear so much
about our mansion in heaven, about
its furniture and the grand surround

it is all worth and what has actually
been paid for it. I cannot complete in

Let us open the door of the caravan
sary in Bethlehem and drive away the
camels. Pass on through the group of
Idlers and loungers. What, O Mary, no
light? "No light," she says, “save that
which comes through the door.” What
Mary, no food? "None," she says,
“only that which was brought in the
sack on the Journey.” Let the Bethle
hem woman who has come in here
with kindly attentions put back the
covering from the babe that we may
look upon it. Look! Look! Uncover
your head. Let us kneel. Let all
voices be hushed. Son ot Mary! Son of
God! Child of a day! Monarch of eter
nity! In that eye the glance of a Uod.
Omnipotence sheathed in that Babe's
arm. That voice to be changed from
the feeble plaint to the tone that
shall wake the dead. Hosanna! Ho
sanna! Glory to God that Jesus came
from throne to manger that we might
rise from manger to throne, and that
all the gates are open, and that the
door of heaven that once swung this
way to let Jesus out now swings the
other way to let us in. Let all the
bellmen of heaven lay hold the rope
and ring out the news, "Behold, !
bring you glad tidings ot great Joy,
which shall be to all people, for today
is born in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord!"
The second installment paid for our
souls’ clearance was the scene in
Quarantania, a mountainous region,
full of caverns, where are today pan
thers and wild beasts of all sorts, so
that you must now go there armed
with knife or gun or pistol. It was
there that Jesus went to think and
pray, and it was there that this mon
ster of hell—more sly, more terrible,
than anything that prowled in that
country—satan himself, met Christ.
.Jeiui to Koman Senate.
The rose in the cheek of Christ—that
Publius Rentullus, in his letter to the
Roman senate, ascribed to Jesus—that
rose had scattered its petals. Absti
nence from food had thrown him into
emaciation. A long abstinence from
food recorded in profane history is
that of the crew of the ship Juno. For
twenty-three days they had nothing to
eat. Rut this sufferer had fasted a
month and ten days berore he broke
fast. Hunger must have agonized
every fibre of the body and gnaw'ed on
the stomach with teeth or death. The
thought of a morsel of bread or meat
must have thrilled the ’body with
something like ferocity. Turn out a
pack of men hungry as Christ was ;
a-hungered, and if they had strength
with one yell they would devour you
as a kid. It was in that pang of hun
ger that Jesus was accosted, and satan
said, "Now, change these stones, which
look like bread, into an actual supply
of bread.” Had the temptation come
to you and me under those circum
stances we would have cried, “Bread it
shall be!” and been almost Impatient
at the time taken for mastication, but
Christ with one hand beat back the
hunger and with the other hand beat
back the monarch of darkness. O ye
tempted ones! Christ was tempted.
We are told that Napoleon ordered a
coat of mail made, but he was not
quite certain that it was impenetrable,
so he said to the manufacturer of the
coat of mail, "Put it on now yourself
and let us try it.” And with shot
after shot from his own pistol the
emperor found out that it was Just
what it pretended to he. a good coat
of mail. Then the man received a
large reward.
I bless tlod that the same coat or
mail that struck back the weapons or
temptation from the head or Christ we
may now all wear, for Jesus comes
and says: "1 have been tempted, and
I know what it is to be tempted, l ake
this robe that defended me and wear it
for yourselves, i shall see you through
all trials, and I shall see you through
all temptation."
Tlie Temptation of .hm*,
“But,” sayg satan still further to
Jesus, “come, and i will show you
j somethin* worth looking at." And nf
ter a half a day s Journey they raise
to Jerusalem and to the top of the tem
ple. Just as one might go up la tre
tower of Antwerp and look oil upon
Belgium, so satan brought Chr.tt to
the top of the temple. Seme people at
I a great height feel dizzy and a strange
I disposition to jump. So satan comes to
Christ in that very eris s Standing
there at the top of the temple, they
looked off. A magnitlcent revch cf
i country. Gralnltelds, vineyards, oilv:
groves, forests and streams, cattle m
; the valley, tlocks on the hills and vil
lages and cities and realms. '‘Now,”
I says satan, "I'll make a bargain. Ju.t
jump off. i know it 13 a great way
from the top of the temple to tho va -
ley, but ir you are divine you can tty.
Jump off. it won't hurt you. Arg 13
will catch you. Your Father will hold
you. Besides, I’ll make you a la g:
present if you will. I'll give you As a
Minor, I'll give you China, 111 give you
Ethopia. I'll give you Italy, 111 give
you Spain, I'll give yon Germany, l n
give you Britain, I'll give you all the
world." What a temptct.on it must
have been!
Go tomorrow morning and get la an
altercation with some wretch crawling

the king of heaven and earth endured
when he came down and fought the
great wretch of hell and fought him
in the wilderness and on top of tha j
temple. But bless God that In the tri
umph over temptation Christ gives ui j
the assurance that we also shall tr.- 1
umph. Having himself been tempted,
he is able to succor all those who a e
tempted.
The Agony at <>rtlniPinnn
The third installment paid for our
redemption was the agonizing prayer
in Gethsemane. As I sat in that gar
den at the foot of an old gnarled and
twisted olive tree the historic scene
came upon me overwhelmingly. These
old olive trees are the lineal descend
ants of those under which Christ stood
and wept and knelt. Have the leaves 1
of whole botanical generations told !
the story of our Lord's agony to their
successors? Next to Calvary the sol
omnest place in Palestine is Gethse
mane. While sitting there it seemed
as if I could hear our Lord's prayer,
laden with sobs and groan3. Can this
be the Jesus who gathered fragrance
from the frankincense brought to his
cradle and from the lilies that flung
their sweetness into his sermons and
from the box of alabaster that broke
at hi3 feet? Is this Jesus the comfort
er of Dethany, the resurrector at Nain.
the oculist at Bethsaida? Is this the
Christ whose frown is the storm, w'hose
smile is the sunlight, the spring morn
ing his breath, the thunder his voice,
the ocean a drop on the tip of his
finger, heaven a sparkle on the bosom
of his love, the universe the dust of
his chariot wheel? Is this the Christ
who is able to heal a heartbreak or
hush a tempest or dro.vn a world of
flood immensity with his glory? Be
hold him in prayer, the globules of
blood by sorrow pressed through the
skin of his forehead! What an in
stallment in part payment of the great
est price that was ever paid!
Tho Sham Trial.
The fourth Installment paid for our
redemption was the Saviour's sham
trial. 1 call it a sham trial—there has
never been anything so indecent or
unfair in any criminal court as was
witnessed at the trial of Christ. Why,
they hustled him into the court room
at 2 o'clock in the morning. They gave
him no time for counsel. They gave
him no opportunity for subpoenaing
witnesses. The ruffians who were wan
dering around through the midnight,
of course they saw the arrest and went
into the court room. But Jesus' friends
were sober men, were respectable men,
and at that hour, 2 o’clock in the morn
ing, of course they were at home asleep.
Consequently Christ entered the court
room with the ruffians.
Oh, look at him! No one to speak
a word for him. I lift the lantern
until 1 can look into his face, and as
my heart beats in sympathy for this,
the best friend the world ever had,
himself now utterly friendless, an offi
cer of the court room comes up and
smttes him in the mouth, and I see the
blood stealing from gum and lip. Oh,
it was a farce of a trial, lasting only
perhaps an hour, and then the judge
rises for sentence! Stop! It if against
the law to give sentence unless there
has been an adjournment of the court
between condemnation and sentence,
but what cares the judge for the law?
"The man has no friends. Let him
die," says the judge. And the ruf
fians outside the rail cry: "Aha, aha,
that's what we want! Pass him out
here to us! Away with him! Away
with him!"'
Tli« Dlvlno Sympathizer.
Oh, 1 bless God that amid all tho
injustice that may have been inflicted
upon us in this world we have a di
vine sympathizer. The world cannot
lie about you nor abuse you as much
as they did Christ, and Jesus stands
to-day in every court room, in every
house. In every stoie, and says: "Cour
age! By all my hours of maltreat
ment and abuse I will protect those who
are trampled upon.” And when Christ
forgets that 2 o’clock morning seen
and the stroke of the ruffian on the
mouth and the howling of the unwash
ed crowd, then he will forget you and
me In the injustices of life that may be
inflicted upon us.
Further, I remark: The last great
installment paid for our redemption
was the demise of Christ. The world
has seen many dark days. Many sum
mers ago there was a very dark day
when the sun was eclipsed. The fowl
at noonday went to their perch, and
we felt a gloom a.s we looked at tho
astronomical wonder. It wa* a dark
day In London when the plague wan
.:t its height, and the dead with uncov
I ered faces were taken in open carts
and dumped in the trenches. It was
1 a dark day when the earth opened
! and Lisbon sank, but the darkest day
since the creation of the world was
when the carnage of Calvary was en
acted.
Drawing the Cnrlaln. r_ *
It was about noon when the curtain
began to be drawn. It was not the
coming on of a night that soothes
and refreshes. It was the swinging
of a great gloom all around the heav
ens. God hung it. As when there is
a dead one in the house you bow the
shutters or turn the la*.;ice, so God in
the afternoon shut the windows of
the world. As it is appropriate to
throw a black pall upon the coffin as
it passes along, so it was appropriate
that everything should be somber
that day as the great hearse of the
earth rolled on, bearing the corpse of
the King. A man’s last hours are or
dinarily kept sacred. However you
may have hated or caricatured a man,
when you hear he is dying silence puts
its hands on your lips, and you would
have a loathing for the man who
could stand by a deathbed making
faces and scoffing. But Christ in his
last hour cannot be left alone. What,
pursuing him yet after so long a pur
suit? You have been drinking his
tears. Do you want to drink his bl rod?
They come up closely, so that notwith
standing the darkness they can glut
their revenge with the contortiors of
his countenance. They examine his
feet. They want to feel for themselves
whether those feet are really spiked.
They put out their hands and touct the
spikes and bring them back wet with
blood and wipe them on their gar
ments. Women stand there and veep,
but can do no good. It is no place for
the tender hearted women. It wants a
heart that crime lias turned into gran
ite. The waves of man’s hatred and
of hell’s vengeance dash up against
the mangled feet, and the hands of
sin and pain and torture clutch for his
holy heart. Had he not been thor
oughly fastened to the cross they
would have torn him down and tram
pled him with both feet. How tho
cavalry horses arched their necks and
champed their bits and reared and
snuffed at the blood! Had a Roman
officer called out for a light, his voice
would not have been heard in the tu
mult, but louder than the clash of
spears, and the wailing of womanhood,
and the neighing of the chargers, and
the bellowing of the crueiflers, there
comes a voice crashing through—loud,
clear, overwhelming, terrific. It is the
groaning of the dying Son of God!
Ixjok, what a scene! Look, world, at
what you have done!
ClirUt on tlio CT<»8*.
I lift the covering from the maltreat
ed Christ to let you count the wounds
and estimate the cost. Oh, when the
nails went through Christ's right hand
and through Christ’s left hand, with all
their power to work and lift and write!
When the nails went through Christ's
right foot and Christ's left foot, that
bought your feet, with all their power
to walk or run or climb. When the
thorn went into Christ’s temple, that
bought your brain, with all its power
to think and plan. When the spear
cleft Christ’s side, that bought your
heart, with all its power to love and re
pent and pray.
DEATH’S VISITS IN SLEEP.
Apoplexy Frequently Attacks Its Vic
tims WUile They Slumber.
The frequent occurrence of apoplexy
during sleep was illustrated in the case
of Colonel Albert D. Shaw. He had
made a patriotic speech during the
evening and had retired in apparently
good health. In his instance there was
a combination of causes to bring about
the result—a banquet, mental excite
ment, probable lndigesetion and a co
incident lowering of vital tone. In
some respects the circumstances were
similar to those attending the demise
of Henry George, who was likewise
stricken after forced efforts on the
platform. Why the accident in ques
tion should occur at a time when all
the bodily functions are seemingly at
rest is at first thought somewhat dif
ficult to explain. When, however, the
arteries of the brain become brittle by
age the slightest change of blood pres
sure is often enough to precipit it? a
rupture of those vessels and cause the
escape of a clot either upon the sur
face or into the substance of the brain.
High mental tension, being always as
sociated with congestion, is in itself
an active predisposing cause of apo
plexy. This condition is apt to con
tinue during a more or less troubled
sleep, and with an overtired nervous
system there is less resistance to over
stretching of the cerebral arteries than
during the waking hours. Nature, in
stead of rebounding, simply succumbs.
The fullness of the vessels increases
until the final break occurs. Generally
the effusion of blood is sufficiently
large to be followed by instantaneous
death, causing one sleep to pass quiet
ly Into the other. As evidence of this
peaceful ending, it Is often noticed
that the patients are found as if in
natural slumber, comfortably lying on
the side, with bedclothes undisturbed
and with countenance perfectly calm.

to Mary Magdalen—The Savior Also
Manifests Hluiteif to Other Women.
11. Rut Mary was standing without at
the sepulcher weeping; and as she wept,
she stooped down, and looked Into the
sepulcher.
12. And she beholdeth two angrla in
white sitting, the one at the head, and
the other at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain.
13. And they say unto her, Woman,
why weepest thou? She saith unto them,
Because they have taken away my Lord,
and I know not where they have laid
him.
14. And when she had thus said, she
turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Je
sus.
15. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, way
weepest thou? Whom scekest thou? She,
supposing him to be the gardener, saith
unto him. Sir, if thou have borne him
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him,
and I will take him away.
16. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She
turned herself, and saith unto him in
Hebrew, Habboni; which is to say, Mas
ter.
17. Jesus saith unto her. Touch me not;
for I am not yet ascended unto the
Father; but go unto my brethren, and
say unto them. I ascend unto my Father
and your Father, and my God and your
God.
18. Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth
tlie disciples. I have seen the Lord, und
how that he had spoken these things un
to her.
Points of Lesson to Commit.- Recapitu
lation. 1. Jesus rose from the dead early
Sunday morning, April 9, A. 1). 30.
2. A company of women, with spiers,
come to the tomb from various parts of
the city, and, doubtless, not all together.
3. They find the stone rolled away and
the tomb empty.
4. Mary Magdalene, one of the com
pany, immediately hustes away, and tells
Peter (lrst and then John (as is suggest
ed by the repetition of the preposition In
John 2o:2).
5. The other women in the tomb see
two bright angels, who tell them that
Jesus has risen, and will meet his dis
ciples in Galilee.
6. They, trembling and astonished with
mingled fear and Joy, flee from the tomb,
and run to the city to tell the apostles,
who, apparently, were in different parts
of the city.
7. Peter anil John, having heard the
news from Mary Magdalene, run swiftly
to the tomb, and find it empty, as re
ported. They return home, Peter won
dering. and John believing.
Mary Magdalene is to be distinguished
from the "woman who was a sinner,"
who anointed the feet of Jesus In the
Pharisee's house (Lulte 7:30-50), and from
Mary, the sister of Martha. Magdalene
“doubtless indicates that she was a resi
dent of Magdula, on the southwestern
coast of the Sea of Galilee. There is rea
son to suppose that Mary was in less
humble circumstances than most of our
Lord's disciples."
She had, when she first knew Jesus, a
most terrible affliction. 8he was a de
moniac, with all its horrible and painful
accompaniments. Just what the disease
was we do not know, but it was allied
to some of our worst forms of insanity,
und the descriptions given of demoniacs,
in the New Testament, present a very sad
picture. One such, a boy. is described
as often falling into the tire and often
into the water (Matt. 17:15, 18). The
spirit makes him dumb, "nnd wheresoever
he taketh hint he teareth him; nnd he
foameth, and gnasheth wtih his teeth, nnd
pineth away" (Mark 5:17, IS). The Gn
daretie demoniac was wild and tierce, cry
ing and cutting himself with stones.”
That her case was unusually severe is
shoHn from the fact that she was pos
sessed of seven demons (Luke 8:2), like
the Gadarene who was possessed by a le
gion, and tlie man In the parable, who
was like a house swept and garnished
after one demon had been east out, hut
which returned with seven companions
worse than himself (Matt, 12:43-15).
Jesus had cured Mary Magdalene (Luke
8:2), and henceforth she was his most
devoted follower, "and the greatness of
the deliverance redounded to the glory
of the deliverer.” She was in her right
mind, and was among those ministering
women who devoted much of their prop
erty and their time to the service of their
Master, including "Joanna,the court lady,
and Salome, the fisherman's wife." She
Is with them around the cross, "drawn by
a fearful fascination to the appalling
spectacle, nnd joins with the others In
preparing the spices, and hastens among
the earliest to the tomb.
Practical. 1. What a change Jesus
wrought In this woman; from a disor
dered brain to a right and holy mind;
from the possession of devils to the abid
ing presence of Christ and the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit.
2. Jesus still works such changes in
the souls of men. The wondrous changes
of his grace can be seen by those who
look, for multitudes are thus changed
eypry year. There Is hope for the worst.
There are those who have been drunk
ards, and dishonest, and selfish, who are
changed till they shine "with the bright
ness of the firmament and as the stars
forever and ever," because they have not
only turned themselves but many others
to righteousness.
Illustrations.—Ruins like those of Baby
lon, where “wild beasts of the deserts
lie,” “anil satyrs dance," and which are
“full of doleful creatures,” changed to a
beautiful “city of the Lord," "the Zion
of the Holy One of Israel.”
A house full of carousals and crimes,
111 ventilated, unclean, with broken and
defiled windows, changed to a beautiful
home, pure, healthful, tilled with love and
peace.
Illustration.—Here is a lump of black
roal which the miner brings up from the
depths of the earth. He tells you to
take it Into your house nnd It will till
your apartment with light; but you
shrink from touching it, and say. "Sure
ly, there is no light In that? See! It only
blackens my fingers. It can shed no
beams of light In my room.” Yet that
lump of coal is indeed a seed of light. The
man of science takes it and puts It in
his retort, and your chamber is made
bright as day by its uniniprlsoned beams.
